Chapter 24: Rescuing Nicolas (I)
Tengen and Hercules followed Gusas to the Hall of the Archons. To avoid detection, they made their way up the stairs to the ninth-floor lobby.
“oh,mygod!” As he walked, Tianxuan suddenly raised his feet and exclaimed.
"What's the situation? Was it discovered? Gusas and Hercules were stunned by Tianxuan's exclamation, and looked around in horror.
"Tianxuan, where is the poisoner?" Hercules leaned back against Tianxuan, half-squatting, and hurriedly took out his short stick. At this time, his upper and lower muscles were tense, for fear that he would not react in time.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I saw the ground under my feet was transparent, and I thought I was going to fall into the air." Tianxuan scratched the back of his head with his hand and said he was very sorry.
"Oops, it's all about making a fuss!" Gu Sath glared at Tianxuan and let out a long sigh of relief, then shook his head incessantly.
Knowing that it was a false alarm, Hercules hurriedly stood up, pushed Tianxuan away, and reprimanded him quite angrily: "Can you not be startled, it's okay to scream and scare people to death, do you know?" ”
Tianxuan scratched the back of his head with his hand again, lowered his head, and apologized with a red face: "I'm so sorry, this won't happen again!" ”
"Alas, alas!" Gu Sath came to play the round, "Actually, this can't be blamed on Tianxuan. After all, it was his first time here, and he couldn't fully adapt to the new things. ”
Now that Gushas has come to play the round, Hercules doesn't care anymore. After the tension eased, the three moved on......
The structure of the Consul's Hall is peculiar to the rest of the world, from the ceiling to the walls to the floor, all made of glass-like crystals. And the lights around it shine at different angles, giving people a dreamlike feeling, just like a crystal palace.
Tianxuan was very curious and wanted to find out, but between the imbecile performance just now, the mouth that was about to open closed again. Hercules, however, showed curiosity: "Your Excellency Gusas, I just discovered a problem. ”
"What's the problem? Please speak! ”
"I found that in addition to the transparency under our feet, the walls around us could also be seen outside. Then the question arises, will the poisoned people outside also see us? "And Grace was alert.
"Hahaha! Young people, please be careful! Gusas opened his mouth and laughed a few times before explaining to Hercules, "Don't worry, the poisoners outside can't see us." The refraction of the light from the outside can be seen directly, but the light from the inside cannot be refracted. ”
"Are you so sure?" Hercules was still a little skeptical.
Gu Sath raised his head at this time, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled a little smugly: "Of course it is for sure, because the entire Archon Hall was designed and built by me personally. ”
"This ...... This ......" Hercules suddenly stuck.
"What's the problem?" Gusas tilted his head slightly and looked at Hercules with a smile.
"I didn't ...... No problem! Hercules didn't know what to say for a moment.
"That's good!" As he spoke, Gusas patted Hercules on the shoulder. However, because Hercules was so tall, he barely slapped his shoulder with the top of his palm. After that, the three of them continued to walk deeper into the hall.
Along the way, Tianxuan and they met a lot of poisoned people, and he was still quite nervous about facing the poisoned ones at the beginning. However, Gu Sas's sponge lenses are too realistic, and after the poisoner kept passing by on both sides, and even greeted him warmly, Tianxuan gradually became much calmer......
It was not long before they arrived at the dwelling of Gusas. When they got there, Gusas settled down for a moment and then asked them what they were here for: "Hercules, I think you must have managed to get out with some difficulty!" Why did you run back before you ran a few steps? ”
"Well, that's right, I ran into this little rookie not long after I escaped!" Hercules said and glanced at Tianxuan. Tianxuan also glanced at Hercules, looking a little embarrassed.
"What? What are the major actions? Gusas asked a little eagerly.
"Well, it's not a major move, one of our companions, the alchemist Nicos, went to Lanmian City to ask for support not long ago, I don't know how the situation is now?"
"Hmm!" Gu Sasto cupped his chin and continued, "It seems that more than three hours ago, a green-haired girl came to Lanmian City with a Wind Protector! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! It's her, it's her, it's her! Tianxuan was a little excited when he heard the news from Nicos, and hurriedly went up to talk.
"Oh! She's your companion, isn't she? As he spoke, a look of embarrassment appeared on Gusas's face.
"Is there anything wrong? Lord Gusas! Tianxuan asked puzzled.
"That's right! The girl has been captured and locked up in an underground cell. If you want to save him, it will be difficult. Gusas looked reluctant and didn't seem to be willing to take the risk. It's no wonder, after all, it's not easy for him to be a survivor in this city, and once exposed, it's impossible to be safe.
Looking at Gu Sas's expression, Hercules stepped forward decisively and said, "Your Excellency, it stands to reason that as the chief consul, it is incumbent upon you to rescue your compatriots. But for the time being, we don't expect you to sacrifice your life, but only ask you to tell us where Nicolas is. ”
Under Hercules' awe-inspiring momentum, Gusas's face became a little red and hot, and his head turned to the side, obviously Hercules's words pricked his nerves a little.
"Young man, you're not right to say that! As the Chief Consul, how could I be afraid of death! This word is not ridiculed by people! "Gusas suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he appeared to be a messenger of justice.
Tianxuan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Gu Sass change so quickly, but he still bit his lip and clenched his fists to hold back. Then, he came up with a clever idea......
"Good! As the Chief Consul, this courage and courage are truly extraordinary! Tianxuan seized the opportunity to stand up, and his hands kept letting out loud applause.
"Hungry! Of course...... Of course...... I'm certainly not ordinary as Chief Archon! How can I, to my fellow citizens, not be saved? Gusas said and looked at Tianxuan and Hercules with seemingly sincere eyes, "You're right! ”
"Of course! You are the great hero, the best archon! Tianxuan continued to raise the value of Gu Sas, while clapping his hands desperately.
At this time, Hercules also understood what kind of medicine was sold in the Tianxuan gourd, and thought, "This kid, there is really a way!" So, they also applauded along with it.
Gusas wanted to deal with it, but found out that he had been kidnapped by Daodao, but for the sake of face, he could only agree to help them. In fact, this is also human nature, and sometimes, the value of face is still very high.
