Chapter 250: A New Conspiracy?
Hallogas has become very eccentric lately, and this is a common thought in the minds of all adventurers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The oddity is mainly reflected in the fact that those high-level people are becoming more and more mysterious, appearing much less often than before, and almost always appearing with looting, which is extremely tough looting, and even some bloodshed as a result.
But no one knew exactly what was going on, and the top brass was reluctant to reveal it.
This change first occurred before the Wood Giants attack, but after the attack passed, the defenses of the major organizations seemed to have been relaxed, but the management at the top was more demanding, making people scratch their heads.
This is true even for Lund, which has deep relationships in major organizations.
He didn't know exactly what was going on until yesterday, when the exact news came from his brothers, who were hiding in the Society for the Redemption of Humanity.
From front to back, all the action is because of a human being.
"His name is Xue Chen, and he caused the horrific Camp Rogge tragedy more than a month ago, killing at least fifty powerful adventurers, and several of them even reached level 60."
“…… If the information is correct, the killer of Mariluan, Wolf Howl, and Beche was just one of Xue Chen's servants. “
Lund informs Natsu, a former companion and now collaborator, of the latest information.
Natsu's mind was full of information provided by Lund: an adventurer who might be more than level 85, or even that she was just a servant of Xue Chen, who was currently easily controlling the entire Halogas with the help of a giant wooden man.
Natsu's strength is very strong, although he and Lund used to be companions, but as a defector, Natsu's strength has already reached the legendary level of 75, and it is not a problem to deal with a dozen or so ordinary adventurers.
But he didn't have the confidence to defeat a powerful existence that even level 85 adventurers had to surrender.
When Lund invited him, he didn't tell him about any such person, he just thought that the object of revenge was only the Society for the Redemption of Humanity.
"Lund, tell me about your plans." Natsu asked, after being silent.
How could Lund not know what Natsu was thinking, he had to tell the truth: "According to Hals's information, the Holy Knights of the Human Redemption Society will use the holy relics 'Shield of Light' and 'Angel Blade' to summon the god of light, Aena Urilis, and their target is Xue Chen. ”
“…… Hals's information came from Bishop Kendall, and there was no doubt about the accuracy, and this was only one of their means, listening to Bishop Kendall, the Priest of Light should still be prepared. ”
“…… As the deputy head of the Holy Knights, Hals was able to ensure that 200 paladins would participate in the originally planned rebellion, and with the Knights' long-standing dissatisfaction with Saldo, this number could reach more than 500. ”
“…… And we seem to have become the key to victory or defeat. Lund sighed, this was a multiple-choice question, according to his idea, he obviously wanted to catch Xue Chen and Saldo, but he also understood that this idea was a bit unrealistic.
Whoever wins or loses, his revenge plan can only be declared to end.
"What do you think? Do you really think they can deal with that powerful being? "As a defector, Natsu has far more insight than Lund, and the strong can be defeated, but each one will not be easily defeated.
The redemption of mankind will come at a high price.
Natsu's meaning was obvious, but he didn't agree to continue waiting for the Knights to help the human salvation deal with Xue Chen.
Putting aside whether the Human Redemption Society will continue to follow Lund's plan internally, after all, Hals is not Lund's servant, the two are just brothers in life and death, and if it is about life and interests, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not betray.
"We can inform that powerful man of this information, and use his hand to eradicate Saldo and the upper echelons of the Human Redemption Society." Lund made his own suggestion, which seemed good, but it was not operational.
Time was pressing, they didn't even know where Xue Chen's people were, and more importantly, why others believed their words, based on the past experiences of the two of them, maybe the other party killed him in order to get rid of the trouble.
"No, let's wait and see what happens, and tell Hals not to fight that strong man under any circumstances, I think things may not be as simple as we thought." Natsu said analytically.
At the same time, in Xue Chen's room, a carrier pigeon transformed by crystal holy light landed in the room where Xue Chen lived, and after seeing Xue Chen, the carrier pigeon's body suddenly dispersed, turning into layers of fluorescent powder, converging into a line of clear font 'Three days later, Saldo plans to kill you'.
Xue Chen smiled contemptuously, he had already known Saldo's plan, but he didn't do anything to eradicate Saldo.
Because this kind of plan is so clumsy, with Xue Chen's arrangement in the paladin's clones have all gained information about him, could it be that Saldo can't think of the possibility of leaking?
Saldo's plan should be true, but there must be someone behind the scenes, maybe he just killed Saldo with his front foot, then the next plan of the person behind the back foot will appear.
And the person behind the scenes, Xue Chen's estimation should be the angel that Saldo once mentioned to Xue Chen.
It is very strange that even Saldo does not know the name of the angel, only that he is from the High Heaven, Saldo may be lying, but this does not matter, with Xue Chen's understanding of the history of Diablo 2, except for Aina Ullis, who took care of humans in the early stage, and Tyrell appeared in the later stage, none of the angels in the High Heaven are really inclined to sympathize with humans.
Even Tyrrell's purpose is debatable.
In this case, Xue Chen had to doubt the authenticity of the angel's identity, especially the golden sword that carried some dark energy was still lying in the Sumeru Ring at this time.
……
Early the next morning.
Saldo appeared in front of Xue Chen as planned, and presented a delicate bracelet.
"This is the Angel's Ring, a treasure that angels use when they place their trust in the world, and if they are infused with divine power, they can summon angels to the world." Saldo explained flatteringly.
Xue Chen took the bracelet, the only difference between it and the ordinary gold bracelet was that the runes and patterns inlaid on it were complex and diverse, and there was no difference in the others.
"Saldo, why did you suddenly think of handing me the Ring of Angels?" Xue Chen stared at Saldo 'curiously', and he asked naturally.
"I've always been haunted by the person who instructed me to hurt you, and I guess you think the same way." Saldo explained perfunctorily.
"I see, you can go back." Xue Chen calmly waved away Saldo, who was going to continue arguing, and did not give him a chance to speak.
Saldo didn't dare to defend himself, and cautiously retreated, returning to the corridor, Saldo couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the plan has been leaked?" ”
Saldo's mind has become confused by the dark energy, and he still has righteous judgment, but he is no longer wise.
Saldo left in confusion, but he didn't even notice it, and on his body, a looming black light gradually began to spread.
As Saldo and other high-ranking officials visited Xue Chen's residence one after another, rumors arose again in Hallogas.
