Chapter 31: Interlude
Just as Zhou Yao returned home and mentioned the matter of Izath and Ellance to Warrier, who had not yet left, the two parties had already returned to the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Yod City under the "care" of Doug's master and servant.
Walking into the main building, Doug left Izas and Ellance and walked straight towards the city lord's study.
"What to do, although my father may not believe it, but after he mentioned it, the two of us will ...... in the future."
Irance walked back and forth in the guest room with an anxious look on his face, and his eyes were on Izaz for a solution.
"Stupid, what are you panicking about, the more you panic at this time, the more you will mess things up, go to Mentor Ode, he will definitely have a way."
Izis glared at his brother with some dismay, and turned to walk out of the room, but before he could touch the handle of the door, someone opened it from the outside.
Then what appeared in front of the two of them was a handsome silver-haired man, who held a heavy red-skinned book in his hand, and behaved in a gentle manner, with a kind of intellectual charm.
He walked into the room, his eyes swept over Izath and Arans, and shook his head a little helplessly.
"Look at the way you guys look, you've failed."
"Mentor Ode! You're just in time, that bastard from Doug has gone to his father's and he wants to denounce us! ”
Seeing Odd's calm expression, Izath and Arans's emotions calmed down a lot, but Izath still shouted excitedly in the urgency of time.
"Shhh
Flipping through the books in his hand, the man known as Odd held up a finger.
"Yes, I'm so excited, but!"
"Why did you fail, you didn't do what I told you to do?"
Odd stretched out his hand to stop Izaz, who was about to say something, and said unhurriedly. Although the words were gentle, they gave the two people opposite a kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
"Of course I did as you told me, but someone intervened on the way, seemingly helping the two maids to get rid of your men."
Thinking of Zhou Yao and Sakiya who appeared at the end, Izasi gritted his teeth with hatred.
When he noticed Zhou Yao for the first time at the venue, he was just amazed by the maid beside him, but the snow blowing was violent, and he didn't have a chance to talk to him.
Unexpectedly, he would meet the other party again later, but in the worst sense.
"Oh, that's just a matter of luck."
Odd nodded, no other reaction, and looked down at the book in his hand.
His salty reaction annoyed Izaz, but he didn't dare to show it. I could only suppress my emotions and said anxiously.
"What now, if you let my father know about it in advance, not only will we suffer, but even your plans will be affected."
"You're threatening me?" Odd's cold gaze shot over.
"Don't dare!" Izath was immediately taken back by the start.
"Hmph, don't worry, I already had a plan."
Odd closed the book, and in his hand appeared a syringe much thinner than his little finger, with a faint blue liquid faintly visible.
"Later, the city lord will definitely check with the two of you, and when you are alone with the city lord, you will gently inject this thing into the city lord's body."
Shaking the syringe in front of the two of them, Odd placed it in Izaz's hand.
"It all depends on your decision, do you want to watch your brother show off his power in front of you, or do you just don't do anything and become the master of the city yourself?"
The syringe seemed to have a magic charm, attracting the attention of the two, and Izath barely got rid of the temptation, and said with some hesitation.
"How could I possibly want to see that bastard's smug expression, but, do you have to do it......"
Although he didn't like Doug very much, even to the point of wanting to kill him, it was really ...... to attack his father, who was the lord of the city
There's a clear struggle in Izaz's eyes.
"As long as you do, then what you two have always wanted, I will give you now."
Looking at his hesitation, Odd sighed and continued.
Hearing his words, Izath and Alans' faces changed, and they showed strong excitement one after another, and Izas's hand holding the syringe trembled faintly.
"Mentor Ode! You're really going to give it to us?! ”
Happiness came so suddenly, Izasi couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Of course, you see."
Odd pulled out two similar syringes from his coat pocket, the difference from the one in Izaz's hand was that they contained a crimson liquid.
Staring at the two syringes, Izath couldn't take his eyes off it anymore, he was so excited that his breath became rapid, and his heart began to struggle with strong thoughts.
Do you want to do it...... But this kind of rebellious thing...... But the treasure of your dreams is right in front of you, and you can get it with your hand, and it's too unwilling to give it up......
When Izhas, whose expression was uncertain, saw that Odd was in a tendency to withdraw the syringe, his heart suddenly trembled, and he turned his head to look at Arans, and got a nod in reply. Then Izath gritted his teeth and agreed.
"I do! For the sake of it, even my father should not try to stop me! ”
A string in Izaz's brain snapped, and the last shred of reason was erased by **, his expression became hideous and ugly, and his eyes flashed with a light called madness.
"That's right, when our plan succeeds, life, status, wealth, all of this will be yours."
Placing the two syringes in Izaz's hands, Odd instructed them to take some precautions before watching the two leave the room.
The moment the footsteps faded, Odd's face quickly turned gloomy, and he kicked over the sofa next to him with a flick of his foot.
"Two waste! It's going to make a mess for me! Ah, really! ”
Odd kicked the sofa while venting his unbearable emotions, where is there still the previous gentleness, it is simply another person.
"Master, what do you command?"
A black mist drifted in through the window, and finally condensed into a human form, a capable woman in a black-haired suit.
"The plan is a little ahead of schedule, to inform the guys outside to act, so that the people in the city can meet here."
After a pause, Odd narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and opened the book in his hand again.
"Get out of the way first."
He tore off a few pages of the book and threw them into the air to ignite a pale blue flame.
The flames dissipated, and several amber-shaped insect specimens fell to the ground.
"I'm going to make this a dead city."
"Yes!"
The dividing line floated back to a corner of Yod.
"You're saying that the Castle Lord's Izath and Ellance are connected to the Dead Apostles?"
After frowning and listening to Zhou Yao's story, Warrill lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Now that the city of Yoder is isolated, and there are Dead Apostles and ghouls outside who may attack at any time, there must be no mistakes in the city at this time, otherwise the situation will be irreparable.
"Well, I saw it with my own eyes." Zhou Yao nodded affirmatively.
"Well, without further ado, I'm going back and get some preparations."
The more Warrill thought about it, the more ugly his face became, and he quickly got up and planned to return to the association.
If it was just Izas and Ellance colluding with the Dead Apostles, if the City Lord was also related to the Dead Apostles, it would be the worst case scenario for their association.
"I'm okay if I'm idle, so come with you, maybe I can help a little."
Seeing the worry on Warrier's face, Uncle Ray also got up and joined the ranks.
told Zhou Yao to take care of Lei Ruxue, and Uncle Lei followed Warrier out of the house.
"Will a lot of people die again?" Lei Ruxue showed a worried expression and said in a low voice. She still remembers the tragic scene before, and naturally she doesn't want to experience it again.
"It's okay, don't worry. Speaking of which, I'm so hungry, and I still have something to eat. ”
Zhou Yao patted Lei Ruxue's head to comfort her, and then changed the topic with a smile.
"Yes! You left it for Brother Yao! ”
Lei Ruxue was a little high, trotted to the kitchen, and after a while, she brought a meal that was still a little hot.
"Wow, it's great to finally be able to have a meal!"
Zhou Yao didn't care about his image at all, gobbled it up, and was still talking vaguely while eating, anyway, Lei Ruxue didn't understand a word.
At this time, the corner of her eye was on the container that Zhou Yao brought back, and asked curiously.
"What is this?"
"Known as ...... It's mercury. Zhou Yao swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a sigh.
"Mercury? What to buy it for? Lei Ruxue tilted her head in confusion.
"Draw a summoning array, just wait for you to come and see, there will be surprises." Zhou Yao smiled and said.
On the other side, Warrill and Uncle Ray, who had returned to the Guild, met Shival who was walking towards them.
"Uncle, you came back at the right time, and just now the city lord sent a message asking you to come over for an emergency meeting." Shival breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Warrill and said.
"An emergency meeting? It seems to have something to do with what just happened, and I thought I would press it down. ”
Warrill and Uncle Ray glanced at each other, and had a plan in their hearts. Shival was confused, but he stood respectfully aside.
"I'll go too, just in case."
Uncle Lei spoke, to which Warrill nodded, so the two turned around and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
At the same time, there were also the high-ranking officials of the church and the steward of the gate of truth, as well as the patriarchs of the major nobles in the city. That is to say, the most powerful group of people in Yoder City are converging towards the City Lord's Mansion.
In the sky, the clouds were dyed with a dark color, obscuring the shadow of the sun. It seems to be a harbinger of a great shift to come.
