Chapter 22 Waiting
Squeak! The side door of the chapel let out a harsh moan and slowly opened. A young man in a dark black uniform walked in, and when he reached three meters from the pulpit, he stopped, bowed deeply, and asked respectfully, "What do you command?" ”
The man was very handsome, even a little feminine, and his blonde hair was very light in color, which looked very striking. Although the undertone of his uniform is the same as that of the Dark Dragoon, the difference is that his entire left arm is a palpitating dark red. If the dark gold pattern of the Dark Dragoon gives people a suffocating sense of oppression, then this dark red color means blood and deep terror.
The Bloody Parliamentary Inquisition is a place that people don't want to mention. The arbiter in the Inquisition is considered to be the devil crawling out of hell. They are like a bunch of snakes hidden in the dark, ready to pounce and bite at any moment, slowly torturing their enemies with deadly venom, but they usually don't kill them. Death, in their opinion, is with the tolerance of the enemy. In the eyes of this group of demons and vipers, most of the enemies remain among their own people.
I didn't see any movement from the woman sitting on the stage, only one couldn't tell the source, and a low and slightly hoarse voice sounded: "When will my sword be repaired?" ”
The young arbitrator looked at his watch and replied, "Thirty-one minutes and fifty-five seconds, Your Excellency." ”
"Send it to me in forty minutes, I'll leave in forty-five minutes, you go and get ready, and call Peperos over."
Her tone was flat, as if it were a mechanically synthesized voice, but there was no room for rebuttal or questioning in her tone.
The young arbitrator respectfully complied, and quietly exited through the side door. After only a minute, a young woman with short fiery red hair and a cold face walked in. She looked very young, perhaps not yet twenty, but she was also dressed in an arbitrator's uniform, and the eye protection she wore on her right eye, which was used for display, calculation, and so on, was also eye-catching. She could walk to the pulpit before stopping, apparently of much higher status than the talented young man.
The red-haired girl saluted and said, "Peperos is at your disposal." ”
After a few minutes of silence, the woman on the pulpit woke up from her contemplation and said, "Pei, is there any movement on the side of the Dark Dragoon?" ”
Both in terms of title and tone, it seems that Peperos has a very unusual relationship with her. Peperos said: "The recent internal flow and direction of the Dark Dragoon are slightly different from the past, but there is nothing to be seen on the surface. Moreover, Fabregas and some small families are acting in the shadows, secretly mobilizing manpower and armament. It's not large, but it's not unusual. In addition, the Arthur family has recently changed, and Oberen has replaced his sister Persephone to take command of the family's forces. ”
"It means ......"
Peperos thought for a moment and said, "I feel like they're hiding something from us. ”
"Go figure it out."
"Yes!" Peperos replied short and forcefully.
There was a soft knock on the side door, and a man's voice came through the side door: "Your Excellency, Mr. Oberion asks for a meeting. ”
The woman on the high platform finally moved, and with a wave of her hand, Peperos stepped back.
As Oberen entered through the side door, footsteps were heard for the first time in the silent church. His steps were steady and calm, and he did not see the youthfulness of an eighteen-year-old boy at all. It's just that although he has controlled the family's force, the powerful Oberen still has to enter through the side door.
Oberen walked all the way to the pulpit, and even had the idea of going up to the wooden platform. But as soon as his left foot was raised, he froze in the air, and a deep nick appeared out of thin air on the worn wooden floor in front of him. The cut was bottomless and showed without warning, and if Oberen hadn't stopped in time, half of the ball of his foot would have been cut off.
"You ......" Oberen's originally calm and calm face turned red and white, he was excited for a while, but he didn't expect the other party to make such a sparing move.
"It's your fault." Sitting in a high-backed chair, she still didn't move.
"Well, I'm excited." Oberyen took a deep breath, the flush on his face calmed down, and then said, "I thought that after I took over the family, the distance between us should be a little closer. ”
"Wealth and power don't add to your charm, and your reason for taking over the family is bloodline, not strength." Her voice is still like a synthetic electronic voice, without the slightest emotion.
Oberen's raised left foot slowly fell to the ground, and he stood in front of the engraving and said, "You know, I've never liked these. Power, strength, wealth, and family have never been in my heart. I love painting, music and history, and I want to find a way to remove the ubiquitous radiation and bring back the blue sky, the blue sea and the turquoise fields of the old days. Back then, you would keep saying that my idea was unrealistic, and I knew that it was almost an impossible dream, so I didn't bother and did what I liked. But two years ago, when you got to this damn place, you were saying that I was too weak. Since then, I have been working hard to train myself, and in the past two years, you have also seen my strength, and my progress, and I have been changing myself for you, but why are we getting fewer and fewer opportunities to meet, and every time we meet, we talk less and less? ”
She was silent for a full three minutes before she said, "You have three more minutes." ”
Oberen's visibly agitated personality barely suppressed his emotions and said, "Almost everyone acknowledges my talent, and I will become more powerful!" After taking over the family, especially in another month, after the command of the Sea Emperor Trident, the core force of the family, is handed over to me, I will have enough strength to protect you, and the Empress will also have a staunchest ally! You don't have to stay in this damn place anymore, I'll take care of you and make you back to the girl you were seven years ago, full of sunshine! ”
But she remained unmoved and asked, "Is this a deal?" ”
"No, it's not a deal, it's a promise! A man's promise! Oberen lost his composure again, and his voice became a little hoarse. His heart seemed to be torn apart, and he couldn't accept that his mind was being understood so maliciously.
"Your time has come." She stood up, the heavy nails rubbing against each other, making a small and beautiful rustling sound. She strode forward, straight for the church door, completely oblivious to Oberen, who stood in her way. Her gaze went beyond Oberen, and then through the door of the church, and she did not know where she landed in the distance.
Oberen's greatest courage lasted less than half a second, and the ice disintegrated in front of her. He sighed secretly and took a step to the side, out of the way of hers.
From behind, even the heavy and hideous armor could not hide her slender and slender curves. She was almost as tall as Oberen, and perhaps the greatest advantage of that armor in addition to her defense was that it brought out her perfect pair of long legs.
It's just that the aura emanating from that armor is so cold and icy that she can't even tell if it's the gloomy aura that gives her the gloomy atmosphere, or if it's because of her that the church has become so dark.
She didn't walk fast, but she was extremely steady and resolute. It seems that anything that dares to stand in her way will be crushed by her.
Seeing that she was about to walk to the door of the church, Oberen suddenly used all her strength to roar: "Medirri!" ”
She made a rare stop, turned around, and looked at Oberen quietly, her blue eyes bottomless.
"Give me a chance!" Oberyen said firmly, resolutely. At this moment, the boy's youthfulness could no longer be seen in him.
She looked at Oberen for a full three seconds before she said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance." If you can defeat me in the future, I will be yours. ”
With that, she turned around and walked to the church door, her long pale gray hair fluttering down a silver star, slowly falling in the dark church.
The heavy door opened silently, and the world outside the door, which should have been dark, was illuminated by the light, so bright that it was impossible to see anything at all, except for a vast white and two neatly arranged figures.
She strode into the blinding light, and the four arbitrators came to her side with a square-headed greatsword two meters long and forty centimeters wide, with a strange and fierce style, and half-knelt on the ground, and sent the giant sword up.
Medirli took the greatsword in her hand, dragged it upside down on the ground, and walked into the distance in the light, and in a few steps her figure disappeared into the vast darkness.
The greatsword plowed a deep furrow into the ground, and you can imagine the terrifying weight. On the spine of the sword, there is a line of flying letters that shine with turquoise brilliance: Kill Prison.
"Seven years ago, was I full of sunshine?" She thought as she went from light to darkness.
