354 Zold's joy and sorrow and Hathaway's determination
Zord shivered in his safe house......
Richie is finished!What should he do!?
I never thought that Menesus would do such a poisonous thing!
He obeyed Li Qi's arrangement, contacted the Baslayan family and other "younger brothers", and made various preparations intensively. Those who were loyal to him in the family suddenly reported that there had been an accident in the membrane part of the plane fragment, and the hundreds of guests present with his father, including Li Qi, all flew into the Chaos Void with the plane fragment.
Even if there is a problem with the membrane plane, it will not fly into the chaotic void entirely, and it must be Menesus, who is in charge of the membrane, who has done something.
Later, the fleet of the Ted family appeared and took control of Mildern Island in the name of rescue, and Zelder wanted to teleport away.
But unexpectedly, a force beyond the legend enveloped Silver City, scanning everywhere. I don't know who I'm looking for, or just to deter, anyway, Zolde didn't dare to run.
Rumors that Menesus were actually demigods for a long time, and that they were only forced to stay on the main plane in order to take care of the Storm Isles, as well as his beloved apprentice Hathaway, were at least half confirmed.
Menesus is now in charge of the secondary mask, and Zolde feels that he must be on the hunt list for his slippery fish, and he will inevitably be found out if he transmits it.
He had no choice but to hide in a safe house, lamenting his tragic fate and cursing a culprit.
"Li Qi, I said a long time ago that something will always happen if you mess around like this! Now you understand, it's a pity that you don't have a chance to regret it!"
"The family is gone, Menesus controls the Storm Islands, even if I don't turn my face with the queen, I have already been labeled as Richie, and it will be difficult to keep the title and territory when I return to the mainland, and I will become a lost dog!"
"It's all you, Richie, why did I get dizzy and go all the way to the dark with you!"
Zold's stomach boiled with bitterness, and he felt that the future was dark.
The space shook suddenly, and the illusion used to decorate it rippled.
They're coming!
Zord screamed and collapsed in his chair.
This safe house was not absolutely safe, and was part of the retreat route he had arranged for Rich, provided by old Baslayan.
If it hadn't been for the haste of the incident, he wouldn't have had time to hide in his safe house, and he wouldn't have entrusted his life to others, although old Baslayan could be regarded as his most hardcore ally.
Sure enough, it's still unreliable, no one can be relied on! Old Baslayan sold himself!
What will happen to you?
Killing it directly is already the most merciful disposition, maybe you will make your soul into a puppet, or even refine it into a soul crystal.
"I'm actually still useful, I know a lot of things about Li Qi, and he still has a lot of secrets in his lair on the Godfall Plateau, and I have the right to be lenient......"
Zold's mind was rushing to practice, but he couldn't resist the heavy fear, and the corners of his mouth were wet, not knowing whether it was foam or blood.
The space shattered, the illusion dissipated, the light was magnificent, and a group of people rushed in.
Zolde smiled sadly, and said in his heart that it was better to leave some dignity for himself.
Wiping the liquid from the corners of his mouth, he closed his eyes and said in an indifferent tone that was so strange that he didn't even recognize, "Are you coming? I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Zold!"
It's old Baslayan, this betrayer, who is embarrassed to see me! With such a beaming tone, I don't know how much benefit I have received.
Then the old man cried out, "Oh, little Zold, I shouldn't doubt you! You are right! The Duke of Prell is back!"
"Ga ——!"
Zolde opened his eyes, and Richie wasn't dead!?
"The Ted family has fallen out with the Menesus family! I heard that Hathaway killed a detachment of Menesus!"
"The Supreme Council has been paralyzed, and the other big families are shrinking their hands and becoming bystanders!"
"Menesus still controls Silver City, but he can only control the Tower on the surface, and everyone is waiting for Duke Prell and Hathaway to issue a joint statement. ”
A flurry of messages came over, and Zelder almost jumped out of his chair, how could this be?
"Zold, you knew it was going to be like this, didn't you?"
Old Basrayan rubbed his hands together and said with a salivating smile on his face: "We are all waiting for you to give orders! What is the latest instruction from Duke Prell?"
"Uh...... Uh-uh...... Ahem......"
Zolde didn't catch his breath evenly, and coughed violently, covering his face that had rapidly turned red from white.
Richie...... Attaboy!
"I know that he always has a way, I didn't see the wrong person!"
He shouted in his heart, but his face tried his best to remain calm: "Hasn't everything been arranged a long time ago?
Another group of people poured in, and it turned out to be the vassal representatives of those big families of the Incense Sect.
"Oops, I've finally found you, Patriarch Mildern!"
"The duke explained to the family and said to contact you, we haven't been able to find anyone, and we are all in a hurry to die!"
"Well, we finally have a lead. ”
Hearing these people shouting one after another, Zelder felt a little suffocated, as soon as Li Qi came back, he recruited so many families, and threw them all to himself?
Li Qi, you are worthy of my trust! I have not failed to live up to your trust!
"You go out first, I'll discuss the details with Richie......"
With a reserved wave of his hand, Baslayan, who had been upgraded from an old man to an old loyal servant, immediately drove people away.
When the surroundings were quiet, Zolde lowered his head and banged against the wall, choking out.
..................
Shadow City, the full moon hangs high on the night of Mirage, just like yesterday, and I don't know what went wrong.
At the Moshiwu Hotel, a beautiful woman in a purple robe with black hair and silver eyes sat in the tavern under the inn. Because the aura emitted was so powerful, no one dared to stay for a moment, and even the bartender shrank behind the counter, not even daring to risk his head. The tavern, which should have been lively and even noisy, remained eerily deserted until the moon turned to a new day.
After a while, a black-haired young man hurried into the tavern and sat down across from the black-haired beauty, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Hathaway glanced at him, a smile on her lips, "Where's your personal assistant?"
Li Qixin said that he just changed back, and you mentioned this stubble again, which makes people feel better.
He forced a smile and said, "She's busy with other things." ”
"No wonder you're not interested in Sakhina and other girls", Hathaway didn't have the consciousness that she was also a "girl" at all: "That Qili, the voice is very sweet, it must be very beautiful, and it is also very special, enough to satisfy your desires~ Wang." ”
Li Qi almost choked on saliva, changed the subject and said, "Let's go get down to business." ”
Hathaway let him go, and said cheerfully, "Good!"
The two got up, and Hathaway grabbed Richie's sleeve and whispered a spell. The space expanded and contracted instantly, and the figures of the two disappeared, leaving behind a strange roaring sound.
The bartender timidly poked his head out and saw a gold bushel buzzing on the table, as if it would never stop.
The last time I saw the roof of the dilapidated warehouse where I saw the Night Club, through the hole, I could see several people talking in a low voice in the warehouse.
Hathaway opened the soundproof barrier and asked Richie, "Do you want to rely on these nocturnal thugs to break down the barriers of Shadow City and bring light to these civilians, Sons of Dawn?"
"If it's the former, I won't agree, but if it's the latter, the power is so weak that my mentor won't even move his eyelids. ”
Li Qi asked in surprise, "Aren't you also pursuing the freedom of mortals, why would you oppose breaking the barrier of Shadow City?"
Hathaway sighed, "I don't want the status quo of the Storm Islands to be broken until I understand why this barrier exists, what if this barrier determines the life and death of the Storm Islands?"
"That's the difference between us", Richie's words startled Hathaway, he knew?
"If the Storm Islands must strip millions of civilians of their freedom and squeeze their lives to ensure safety, the nature of this mage's homeland is evil," Leach said. Not only is it not good for the world, on the contrary, it is just for the world to destroy it. ”
Hathaway frowned and said: "This argument is contradictory to your previous practice of kneeling down in order to save a little girl, annihilating this homeland, won't millions of civilians be finished? Although they are not free, although they live a miserable life, they still want to live, and even most people don't feel pain." ”
Li Qi shook his head: "I saved Josie, it's just a matter of the micro level, and at the macro level, the only criterion for judging justice or evil is to make the world progress or regress." The interests of individuals and classes, and even life, are insignificant in the face of such standards. ”
"And your reasoning is based on a false premise, that the Storm Islands are a secondary plane that the mages deliberately cut off from the primary plane. The threats it faces are all created by the magicians themselves. The argument that the Storm Islands would be all destroyed by removing any barrier is nothing more than self-deception. It is only the fear that has remained in the hearts of your magicians for tens of thousands of years, the fear of returning to the world. ”
"You make me wonder if I made the wrong choice", Hathaway raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Now is not the time to listen to you tell the truth, what are you bringing me here for?"
Li Qi looked at her silver pupils closely: "It's just to prove what the barrier of Shadow City is related to, don't you know?"
"You don't know what secrets the Undercity holds, do you? As the Holy Maiden of the Night Lady, you don't know that the Storm Islands are the testing grounds of the Night Lady, and your mentor is a night watchman, and his job is to ensure that the experiment can continue and go smoothly. ”
Hathaway's pupils instantly constricted: "I know that the Mentor is the Night Watchman, but I only know that his duty is to make sure that I can complete my mission, and I don't know what the experiment ......"
"So what is your mission?"
"Yes......"
Hathaway was a little unsure: "It's my heart that pushes the world to complete beneficial evolution." ”
"It's really grand", Li Qi said with emotion, "It seems that there should be a huge gap between your understanding of this mission and your mentor's understanding." ”
He pointed to the people below, it was the Demon Warrior Dress, and the people of the Night Society, including the leader Bandage Man Vance, the bald female Demon Warrior Quicksilver, and the Half-Demon Red Horn, who looked a little impatient.
"I'm here to let the Nights provide me with some necessary assistance in my actions, and for you to come too, I hope you can be a witness, after all, you also represent the rationality of most mages in the Storm Islands. ”
"Yes, I'm going to take a trip to the Undercity to find out what the Undercity really has and why the Shadow City must have this barrier. ”
"I believe that the truth is the most powerful weapon against your mentor......"
Hathaway subconsciously said: "This is also my question, I'll go with you!"
"No", Li Qi shook his head: "What exactly the truth is is uncertain, so we need a more reliable weapon, and that is a new revolution." You'd better sit in Silver City and make sure that the revolution succeeds and serves the overall good of the StormIslands, rather than letting it fail or turn into pure destruction and revenge. ”
Remembering Richie's previous remarks at the High Council, Hathaway smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, you have planned it a long time ago, from the beginning, you came to the Storm Islands to make trouble. ”
Li Qi shrugged innocently: "If your mentor hadn't been so determined, I wouldn't have done this." Originally, I was mentally prepared, and I can accept any discount on my conditions. Maybe now that we've finished the negotiations, we're talking and laughing. ”
"The mentor thinks...... Although we are fellow travelers now, there will be fundamental differences in the future", Hathaway sighed, "He is a demigod who has forcibly remained on the main plane, and his views on many things are no longer from the perspective of mortals. ”
Li Qi had a series of chills in his heart, and he was really seen through by Menessus, thinking that "if you go outside, you must first settle inside"?
No, I shouldn't have seen the details, otherwise Hathaway wouldn't have stood with him.
As for Menesus being a demigod, he didn't feel much about it anymore. Isn't that obscene and perverted guy in Cheyenne a demigod? A demigod who forcibly stays in the main plane may be even more psychologically perverted.
Talking to a smart person like Hathaway seems messy, but it has a tacit understanding, and by this time the two have completed the necessary communication.
"Now it's up to you to choose, whether to follow me forward, or to side with your mentor and continue to blockade the Storm Islands, isolated from the world, and carry out some mysterious experiment of the Night Lady." ”
Hathaway pursed her lips and seemed to smile: "I really want to beat you to death in front of my eyes, there is a voice in my heart that says, that will be a choice once and for all, who knows how much trouble you will give me in the future." ”
"But I've torn my face with my mentor, and in order to be more stable and more righteous in the face of him, I also need to find the truth, and ......"
Her expression became gloomy: "I am the spokesperson of the Night Lady, no one can claim that he is the only one who understands the thoughts of the Night Lady, only he understands the mission entrusted to me by the Night Lady, even if he is my mentor, it is trespassing!"
Richie breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time Hathaway was completely on his side, and he said: "Then our opinions are unified, of course you can send someone to follow me, such as Saheina, and let her be your eyes and ears, she and my people should be almost there." ”
Hathaway pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.
There was a sudden movement near the warehouse, and several floating cars came at a gallop, and when they came to a stop at the edge of the warehouse, a group of soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Shadow City Guard poured out, and a white-haired woman surrounded her.
Hathaway whispered, "Mother......"
Sure enough, the former saint Gwen Tolin is the mother of the current saint Hathaway.
"I called her here......"
"Shadow City is also part of the revolution, and the Dawn and Night will need to work together, so I brought the two sides together," Li Qi said. ”
Hathaway said disdainfully: "You are dreaming, the two organizations have fundamental differences in philosophy, and they have accumulated a deep hatred over the past few decades, even if my mother speaks, it is impossible to come together." ”
Li Qi smiled faintly: "How do you know if you don't try?"
He waved his hand: "I'm going down, you try not to show up, otherwise it will make things more complicated." ”
"Of course I'm not going to show up," Hathaway said with a smile, "I just wanted to see how you managed to get the two sides to work together with one mouth." ”
