Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Black Rose
Jona looked at the note on the table and was silent for a moment, then asked Horlen rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
"I'll go." Huo Lun avoided Jona's gaze and said helplessly.
"For what?"
"For the sake of the curse on the body and to avoid a catastrophe."
"I'd love to, actually, I think it's good."
"Good?"
"People must rely on and belong to life, either the absolute power of the individual, or a reliable organization, don't you think that the black rose is more attractive and seductive than the arena it once was?"
"You can go to the army, there are other options, and that puts you in danger, you ......"
"Horen," Jona stared at Horen in the eye and interrupted Horen's words, "The people in the arena will not be welcomed by the army, do I have any other choice, you and Black Rose are involved here, I have long been involved, in that case, why give me the illusion that I can choose." ”
Huo Lun was speechless for a moment, "You can leave the ......," Jona replied angrily, "I don't think that lady would be so kind, you even know how to send Takiyi Takijie, don't you?" ”
"I'll protect you and Mofu."
"Thank you, master." Jona thanked Holren lightly, and then went to the kitchen to get something, and Holren sat on the chair with a glazed look on his face.
In the evening, after Horren and Jona simply finished dinner, the room fell silent, and the meeting at night pressed the nerves of the two people like a high pressure, and it had been a day since Mofu and the child were rescued, and Horren did not hear any movement, which made Horen even more nervous.
"What's the Mow...... Haven't come back? Horn asked uneasily.
"Maybe he has his own life and mission."
"What do you mean by that?"
"A woman's intuition, you shouldn't think about how to deal with the evening meeting compared to this? Even if there was any accident, that lady must have known, what else to worry about? ”
Having said that, Horren was still a little unhappy in his heart, and the time was close to the meeting time, and after hours of anxiety and confusion, Horren finally went to the address given by the dock man with Jona.
It is also a large mansion in the middle of nowhere, but in the opposite direction to Vladimir's meeting place, the meaning of the choice is very obvious.
The door of the mansion was unlocked, and when Hollen and Jona entered the room, they saw a large table with bright candles on it, and a man dressed in dark blue with a red brim and a black hat sat in the middle of the large table, on which were three wine glasses, all of which were poured half a glass of red wine as red as blood.
The brim of the hat obscured LeBlanc's face, making it impossible to see her face, or her avatar at the moment.
"Welcome, thank you for welcoming the invitation of the Black Rose." LeBlanc said unhurried words of welcome, and her face was that of a woman she had never seen before, and Horn knew that it was her incarnation today, another voice in her head.
"Thank you also to the Black Rose for her kindness and understanding." Holland responded to LeBlanc's welcome without humility or arrogance, and the corners of LeBlanc's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, "Takijie, this child is very cute, and I can't bear to let such a young child get involved in the battle of adults, Black Rose is more principled than some secret societies." ”
"That's a pretty word." Jona's sudden burst out of a sentence, instantly breaking the pre-war praise between Horen and LeBlanc, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, who knew that LeBlan's taunt didn't mind Jona's taunt at all, "Shurima girl, I am also very happy to have your arrival, and I am very sorry for the misfortune of the Qiao family." ”
Jona's face was gloomy when she heard this, and Huo Lun immediately changed the topic when she saw this, "What contribution can our joining bring to Black Rose?" ”
"For me, it should all depend on, what or how much do you want to contribute?"
"What do you suggest for my curse?" Hollen directly threw out LeBlan's most sensitive topic, wanting to see her reaction.
"That's very powerful necromancy, to be precise, it's a part of his power, and it's extremely dangerous to eliminate it casually."
"To me? Also for you? ”
"So to speak."
"Why isn't there any reaction in the arena?"
LeBlanc showed a cunning face when she heard this, and replied lightly, "Because I will only have the members of the Black Rose, and that is the action of the Black Rose." “
"Thank you very much." Horen was furious when he heard this, it was obvious that this woman told Vladimir that these things were Black Rose's plan, and now Vladimir is afraid that he has not completely openly done it alone, and at the same time, this move also directly divided Horen and his party into the camp of Black Rose without consent, and told all the shadows.
If you oppose Hollen, you will be chased and killed by all kinds of dark currents in the whole country, and the same is true for that choice, but I am afraid that if Hollen goes to Mr. Cui's house tonight, it will be unknown whether he is waiting for wine or blades.
LeBlanc took a sip of red wine, raised her glass and motioned for Horen and Jona to taste it together, only to see Joanna take a sip of intoxication, Holen, a person who never drank alcohol, was so provoked by the taste of alcohol that he almost vomited back into the cup, and had to pretend to thank LeBlanc for the best deliciousness. ”
"So since we are already part of the Black Rose, what task or gift do you have for us?"
LeBlanc took out a yellow wand and gave it to Jona, "This is a wand unearthed from a ruin of Shurima, I enchanted it personally, and Joanna is welcome to join the Black Rose's Mage Secret Society, I have a task for her." ”
LeBlanc then looked at Hollen, "Mr. Hollen's strength, to be precise, I want to ask you, what do you want?" ”
"Jonamow's safety, the removal of the curse......" Hollen's left hand turned red as he finished speaking, and suddenly a vast, gloomy and fearful voice shook the air around him.
"Black Rose, I know all your little tricks, what else are you going to do now, your soul has been judged by me."
The scorching heat quickly faded, and all three of them had gloomy and serious faces, each thinking, "You have only one mission, don't let him come back," LeBlanc paused, then looked at Jona, "Come to the Immortal Fortress tomorrow." As soon as LeBlanc finished speaking, her body became transparent and then disappeared.
The door of the mansion was blown open by the wind, and Horren and Jona got up to go home, and when they returned home, they found that Mofu had been waiting outside the door, complaining about Holren and Jona with a distressed face.
"Where's your boy?" Holren asked angrily.
"It's always a bit of a personal matter, hehehe, open the door."
"I don't necessarily have to go to a private meeting with an old friend, and I don't go home until now." Joanna said as she pulled out the key to open the door.
"Naturally, there are many girls chasing me, and they can line up to the capital palace, and I am helpless." When Horren heard this, he knew that this man was about to start running the train with his mouth full again, so he quickly told him to stop and stop talking.
After a few people washed up briefly, they planned to sleep, the time was close to the early morning, suddenly a miserable scream reached the ears of the three people, only to hear the door crash.
Huo Lun immediately cheered up, stood in front of the two of them, condensed the cyclone in the palm of his right hand, and drove his telekinesis to open the door with his left hand, and the body of a man fell directly at home, half inside the house and half outside the door.
There was a dagger inserted in the man's back, blood pooled on the ground, the disgusting smell and shocking scene in the air made Huo Lun in a trance for a while, Huo Lun calmed down, carefully stepped forward to check, only to see that the man's left hand was slightly dry and pale, as if it had been sucked blood.
Horren came to a conclusion in his heart, blood magic, who else but Vladimir, is the coercion of the Scarlet Secret Society? Holren then washed away the blood with the tide of shock, and used his telekinesis to float the corpse and plan to put it all the way down the street in the distance, but Jona Mov watched Hollen's actions silently.
When Horren closed the door, he instructed Jona and Mofu, "Be careful, take that yellow staff, and be vigilant at all times." “
Walking down the dark road, there was a suffocating atmosphere all around, and there was no sound except for the sound of Horen walking.
When Horren walked to the street, suddenly, several dark arrows flew towards Hollen, and a cyclone erupted around Horen's body to blow all the arrows away, and Hollen's palm immediately conjured a bright ball of light and flew into the sky, and the surrounding shadows were instantly illuminated.
The five masked killers immediately dispatched, and the swords and daggers they touched rushed towards Horen in unison, only to see that a dagger suddenly appeared in Hollen's palm and flew towards an assassin, and then immediately bounced towards the others, and Hollen's figure appeared behind several people like a ghost and quickly locked them up.
Several masked men immediately turned into pools of blood when they died, and Horren put down the corpses and immediately ran home, only to see Jona summon the sand soldiers, and several of the assassins all died under the spears of the sand soldiers.
"This staff is very easy to use, it was simply designed for me." Jona's confident look and Mofu's performance of hiding behind Jona made Horen breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay for you guys to be okay." ”
By the time Holren had taken care of the scene, Mov sat on the ground with his legs limp, "What are you going to do?" Joanna asked worriedly.
"If he does justice to me, I will be unkind to him." But for now, let's have a good rest, you have to go to the Immortal Fortress tomorrow, that place is very unusual, you must be careful.
"What about you?" Mofu asked on the side, and Jona said with a smile on her face, "Horn can follow you to see the girl chasing you, and you can count all the way to the palace." ”
Holren was amused by Jona, and then said, "I'll just walk around tomorrow, but Mofu, you don't have any other friendships or personal affairs, right?" ”
"That's not true, I'll go shopping with you then, it's ......"
Mofu looked embarrassed, and then his eyes flashed between Holren and Jona, Horn was puzzled, but Jona took out the passbook knowingly, "The funds are here." ”
Seeing Jona's passbook, Huo Lun looked ashamed, and gave Takiyi forgot what he used, and now it can only be so. Degree of literature
