226 Withered Flowers

"You want Luna?"

Gastens looked at the man in front of him covered in bruises, a little puzzled, "She killed Daisy with you, and you hate her so much?" ”

"No, it's more than that," Martinez knew that if he didn't recruit him truthfully, it would be impossible for him to survive or get Luna. Therefore, he did not intend to be uncooperative from the beginning.

"Your recent investigation into the cause of Daisy's death is close to the truth, and Luna panicked and found Mr. Rob Hedland, hoping toβ€”"

"Hedland?" Gastens paused for a moment, "That Hedland of the Enver Hedlands?" ”

Hearing Gastens 's words, Martinez looked at Gastens with more horror and incredulity in his eyes. Enver Hedland is the founder of the Hedland family, a close follower of Archmage Gabriel Bennett. This information is the information that the Sanction Mage Tower has internally, and it is never passed on to the outside, how does the person in front of him know?

"Rob Hedland is from Enver Hedland?" Gastens didn't seem to realize that he had knowledge that he shouldn't have, and he looked at Martinez with some curiosity.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's his ninth grandson", Martinez gave up completely, he didn't know how Gastens knew this information, just as he didn't know how Gastens unleashed the forbidden spell. After answering Gastens's question, he no longer hesitated to tell Luna about finding Rob Hedland and asking him to save her life in front of him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So, if it weren't for her, I would have been able to get away with it for a while, and then I would have left Elena when the wind wasn't right. But because of her, I have to lose my life! I'm not reconciled! So, I must get her! And kill her! Even if I die, I can't make her better! ”

Martinez said these words in a low tone, full of resentment. Whether it's Gastens or Zinke, you can see that his emotions are not fake. Gastens stood still, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"What would you do if I gave Luna to you?"

Martinez finally smiled at this time, and he laughed bitterly and proudly.

"Archmagister, Luna is a woman, a very beautiful, very treacherous woman, she is going to kill me, what do you think I will do?"

"Boss!"

Zink interrupted Martinez and seemed to want to say something, but Gastens stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Forget it, she's going toβ€”"

Gastens hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a reason, "After all, she brought me that robe, otherwise, with the one I prepared myself, the magic effect of that day would not be so good." For the sake of this gift, I can't let her be humiliated. ”

Hearing Gastens's words, Martinez's eyes dimmed a little, but instead, he lit up again.

"I'm your prisoner, whatever you say, that's what you say. However, I still want to know, can I live as a dog? Can I exchange the wealth accumulated in the Mage Tower for hundreds of years for my own 10-year lifespan? ”

Gastens looked at him with a fool's gaze, with a hint of banter.

"You killed my lover, and you still want to live? Those things you gave, do you really think we love Lena and can't get them? ”

Leaving this sentence, Gastens was no longer interested in chatting, and he turned away, throwing a word to Sink Warren.

"This man, as well as Luna, was killed, and he was sentenced to public execution."

"Got it, boss."

Zink nodded, glancing back at Martinez. The man's gaze was filled with despair, and with an indescribable expression he watched as Gastens left the cell. Zink told his two men to be optimistic about Martinez, took two quick steps, and followed.

"Boss, Luna, she'......"

Zink still can't believe the fact that Luna helped Martinez kill Daisy. How good Daisy is to Luna, he Zink can see. How can there be such a ruthless and mean person in this world?

"Needless to say," Gastens walked ahead, his stride heavy, "I don't want to see her again, and you don't have to intercede for her." I'll give you three days, and after three days, I'm going to see Daisy off. ”

"I see."

Zink's voice was a little heavy, when he followed the head to Roswell for the first time, when he saw Daisy, he felt that she and the head were a natural pair, both of them had a firm belief in the revolution, and both had extremely efficient execution, he thought that Daisy should be able to go down with the leader, but he didn't expect to die in such a way. And for the person who caused this result, whether it was the main culprit or the accomplice, he would not let it go, absolutely not!

"Also, take someone to raid the courtyard of the Mage's Tower, and arrest Rob Hedland, and I'm going to interview him."

Gastens seemed to have come out of that heavy emotion, and as he walked, he admonished, and Zink nodded in response, but he didn't want Gastens to stop suddenly, turned around, and looked at him very seriously.

"Daisy was killed this time, what did her guards eat? Can't hear such a loud noise in the room? And that Martinez of the Mage Tower, who bought us in the base, you don't even know? What the hell is your Anti-Investigation Bureau doing? ”

Hearing Gastens' words, Zinke's cold sweat came down all at once. Gastens was rarely angry, especially to the old men, and was generally harmonious except for the direct criticism of each other in the council. This is the first time he has made such a harsh criticism when he is alone with himself.

"I'm sorry, head, I'm reviewing!"

Zinker lowered his head, knowing in his heart that the leader was saddened by Daisy's death. Although he also knew that Elena was almost collapsing in those days, and the people in the base area were distracted, and many things could not be carried out. But this is not a reason, since counter-investigation and intelligence work is his duty, then failing to do a good job is naturally his dereliction of duty.

"Okay, pay attention in the future, all the members of the council will arrange two guards to protect them closely, and they will not leave an inch! Also, you ask for some people from Ivan and train some full-time guards, who will be useful in the future. ”

"Understood!"

Zink nodded and took notes, and sent Gastens on the horse before returning to the round. He locked himself in his office and thought for a while before taking the people and going to the small courtyard of the Mage Tower in Elena.

"So, Martinez sold me?"

Sitting in front of Gastens and looking at the iron cuffs in his hands, Rob Hedland, the boss of the Mage Tower, already knew what was going on. His whereabouts in Elena were very secretive, and since they could all be discovered, it was evident that Martinez had leaked the truth.

"Not everybody wants to die for something."

Gastens has a good attitude towards Hedland, he saw Enver Hedland in his previous life, and he still had some impressions, but now when he sees his descendants, he vaguely misses it, and naturally softens it.

"Again, I still overestimate him", Hedland looked at Gastens in front of him, pondering his thoughts, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Lord Garstens, are you the Archmage?"

"It's not."

Gastens replied quickly and briefly, and he did not continue to explain his thoughts, nor did Hedland have any interest in continuing to ask. The two were silent for a moment, and Hedland spoke again.

"Nearly half of the assets of the Mage Tower Capital Department, in exchange for my life, and a position in the Elena Council."

"Those things, if you don't give them to me, they will be mine sooner or later", Gastens laughed, "As for the council, you won't like it there." ”

It wasn't obvious, but Hedland knew that this was the answer Gastens had given him. He was silent for a few seconds before speaking again.

"You make an offer."

"I want all the assets and information about minerals in Enspan and Siloam provinces, and then, I want you to be our agent for Elena."

"Agents?" , Hedland was a little stunned, "Acting for what?" ”

"Elena's product", Gastens already has a plan for Elena's development at this time, "Now that Elena's can calm down for a while, we also take the opportunity to develop." However, the funds needed for development still have to be secured. Our weapons are good, but there are consequences for selling this. Therefore, we plan to make some civilian products and sell them to the outside world. In order to prevent His Majesty the Emperor from wanting to open the blockade, I need your network and channels. ”

Hedland realized that Gastens was talking to him about business, and this was the area he was familiar with. He nodded, and happily won Gastens' request. And agreed with him that the follow-up benefit distribution and price will be discussed later. After saying this, he explained the information about the pyroxene veins found by the Mage Tower in the province of Enspan, as well as the information about the refined iron veins controlled in the province of Siloam, and then he asked to leave. Gastens got his hands on him, though.

"Wait a few days, wait until we check your information, and then it's not too late to go."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Luna knew she was going to die.

Before killing Daisy, she had thought about her own death countless times, but never thought that she would be killed as a prisoner. The summer sun was shining on her once-cherished and pampered skin, making her tickle a little. She raised her head and looked at the people under the high stage in front of her, and her mind went blank as they looked at her. And not far from her, hanging up with her was the former spokesperson of the capital department of the Mage Tower, Miguel Martinez.

The man, staring at her with a vicious and cheerful gaze, never left. Luna looked at him a few times, each time meeting his fierce, venignant eyes, and each time she had to stagger her gaze with some fear. She knew that the reason why she was exposed was because of the person next to her.

Now, she regrets why she had to sell Martinez's life in front of him in the first place.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today there will be a joint execution of the two criminals who directly led to the death of Elena's head of internal affairs, Daisy Richardson. They are Luna Brewster and Miguel Martinez. ”

The person who presided over the execution was Binpo Bobruv, the new head of the interior of Elena. His words were not loud, but they caused a lot of noise in the crowd. Although the content of the case has spread in the early public trial, the sudden emotion of seeing the two murderers being hung in public, one of whom is Teacher Luna, whom many people know, still caused a commotion in the venue.

"Now, I would like to invite Gastens, President of Elena, to make a pre-sentence speech."

Bimbo Bobruv handed the tin microphone to Gastens who took the stage. Gastens took the microphone with a serious expression.

"Comrades, people, Daisy Richardson is my lover, the founder of the Communist Party, and the long-time head of the interior affairs of Elena. Your life is so harmonious and organized, and it is also thanks to her. When I met her, one was a slave without a free body, the other was a student who was still studying, and both of them were a little naΓ―ve and idealistic. Fortunately, our ideals, with a striking unanimity, hope to move communism from theory to practice. On the battlefield of the Negro Republic, on the battlefield guarding Elena, I have wondered countless times what the two of us will do, and whether the two of us can see the victory of the revolution. I have planned countless futures for us and the revolution, and in those countless futures, she is like her. It's just that what I didn't expect was that in the end, in the end, she would miss me and the victory of the revolution at such a time and in such a way. ”

Gastens spoke in a low tone, not very loud. But the square was so quiet that almost everyone heard him. Many people seem to want to say something, but they control their desire to speak. They just remained silent and looked at Gastens on stage.

"Luckily, in the end, I found a chance for myself to find the truth and bring the killer to justice. I don't care what the two of them were before, or what relationship they had with me, they should be punished for killing someone. ”

Gastens said this, pausing before continuing.

"Daisy can't see the day when the revolution will triumph, but you're still there. It is precisely because of you that our revolution can hope to win. I've lost Daisy, and I don't want to lose any of you, so promise me, please live well, work hard to live, and come with me to see the rising sun on the day of the victory of the revolution! ”

"Whew-"

The crowd in the square shouted loudly, but no one could tell what they were shouting. When the shouts fell silent, Ivan waved his hand.

"Crunchβ€”"

The flap at Luna's feet opened, and her tiny body began to float in the air, struggling, twitching, and letting out a final moan. And in her gradually cloudy consciousness, only one last thought lingered.

I want to ...... Go back in time......
