Chapter 2 in the Dark Night
To the south of Dragon City, the terrain begins to gradually undulate, eventually forming a fjord between mountains and seas. In this bay, there are several large islands that are very close to each other, among which the seat of the Bloody Council is on the island called Rhodes. On this large island of hundreds of square kilometers, there are several small towns and a small city scattered around. Most of the people living in the towns and cities are the staff who serve the Bloody Council, as well as the army that guards the Council.
At the southernmost tip of Bird Island, there is a magnificent castle built on an extremely steep sea cliff. The castle of pale black rock stands majestically, full of vicissitudes and ruggedness, standing majestically between the deep clouds and the roaring angry sea.
This castle is the residence of Bebraz, the speaker of the bloody parliament!
On the top floor of the main building of the castle, there is a large office, decorated in a rich burgundy tone, the office is nine meters high, the few candles lit in the room do not reach the ceiling at all, and most of the space is occupied by deep darkness. The office has seven narrow floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the sea.
In the faint candlelight, an old man was sitting on the sofa, looking intently at the light screen in front of him. On the light screen, it was the battle between Su and Henral that day. However, all the images were condensed by pale green radiant light, not entities, exactly like what the old man who arrived at the scene saw that day.
This was the third time he had watched the day's battle record. He reached out and closed the light screen, buried himself in the couch, slowly closed his eyes, and gently rubbed the corner of his forehead with the middle finger of his left hand. By the flickering candlelight, it could be seen that the old man's gray and white hair was a little scattered.
After a rest, the old man pulled a satin rope next to the sofa, and a minute later, the door of the office quietly opened, and a beautiful woman of about twenty walked in. She was wrapped in a dark black tight-fitting leather suit, and her long brown-red hair was draped down, which was unique. Her appearance was very beautiful, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of murderous aura that could not be concealed, and her scarlet lips were as thin as two sharp knives. The murderous aura ruined some of her beauty, and the long brown-red hair was only half of it, and the other half was smooth and bald. So from the left or from the right, she presents two very different faces.
She walked silently up to the old man and knelt down on one knee, her hair hanging down to the tips of the old man's shoes.
"Great Lord Bebraz, what do you want me to command?" She asked respectfully.
"What did Josh say?" Bebraz asked, eyes open. At the moment he looked like a tired old man, with no sign of ability. It's just that because of being in the top position for a long time, it will naturally exude a kind of majesty.
"What General Morgan means is that the main cause of this incident is due to the provocation of Young Master Henral, and Colonel Su is acting in self-defense, so he should not be held responsible." The woman replied. Bebraz can be called Josh. Admiral Morgan will be Josh, but she can't call him that.
Bebraz snorted and slowly opened his eyes, and a strange red suddenly flashed through his light blue pupils. He tapped lightly on the armrest and said slowly, "Whatever the cause, Henral is my son after all, and the only son. Although it was indeed his fault this time, but he died, and I, as a father, could not just look at it. It's such a simple truth, Josh won't understand, it seems, he wants to be on the spider's side. β
The woman hung her head and said, "Standing on the side of the Spider Empress will never get more than being with you." What's more, the Spider Queen is still a woman! Perhaps General Morgan had thought otherwise, I have heard that he was secretly very attentive to Colonel Sue. β
Bebraz stood up, paced back and forth in the office a few times, and suddenly stopped in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, stared at the deep sea, and said word by word: "Inform the councillors that an emergency meeting will be held in a week's time, and the agenda of the meeting will be to revoke the military ranks of Sue and Persephone, and issue a parliamentary arrest warrant for Sue!" If Josh refuses to do this for me, then I will do it through the council. β
The woman was very surprised, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, this may force General Morgan to switch to the side of the Spider Queen!" Moreover, if the council is convened now, there is a high probability that a direct conflict with the Spider Empress will break out, and we are not fully prepared for it! β
"Don't underestimate Josh, it's up to him to decide which side to throw into, or not to either, and neither me nor Lanaxis can actually affect his will. He refused to arrest Sue, on the one hand, to sue me for his consideration and will, and on the other hand, he just wanted to buy Su some time. As for the conflict with Lanaxis...... Don't worry, if it does erupt, then just let it be. We are not ready for war, and she is the same! β
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Bebraz's figure was not burly, but it was as huge as a mountain. His calm voice echoed in the office for a long time, like the thunder of early summer!
"Do as you ask!" The woman's head hung even lower, and her forehead was almost plastered with a scarlet carpet! Her body trembled slightly, excited for the war to come.
"Crotina!" Bebraz's voice suddenly became deeper and colder!
"Yes!" The woman's trembling was also more pronounced.
"Josh wants to buy Sue a week, but I don't want to give him that time! Go ahead, find Sue, and kill him! Bebraz said.
"Do as you ask!" Crotina stood up and walked towards the door, disappearing into the shadows of the castle in an instant.
After Crotina left, Bebraz stood still, just quietly watching the turbulent sea.
A chuckle suddenly sounded in the deep office, and then a soft voice asked with temptation, "What about Persephone?" Do you need me to deal with her? Oh yes, I heard she also has a very good friend named Helen. Although this woman has no abilities and is a crazy person who only knows numbers and technology, she makes me feel very, very uncomfortable, even more annoying than Persephone! I could have killed her first. If we don't kill her, maybe this madman will cause us a lot of trouble! β
Bebraz didn't pay attention to the voice, but asked, "How likely do you think Crotina's success is?" β
The soft voice said, "If you look at the number of jΓΉ alone, the probability of Crotina's success is at least 90 or more." According to the existing analysis, Su's eighth-order perception domain ability is mostly a 'space detection' that can generate panoramas. Although the panorama is a very wonderful ability, it also has an obvious disadvantage, that is, the range of 50 meters is too small. Crotina could launch a full-scale attack from a distance of 500 meters, so Sue's Rank 8 ability was basically useless to her. However, if the number jΓΉ can explain a qiΔ, then the world will be much simpler. One of Lagerfeld's favorite sayings is that counting jΓΉ is just a painting, and when luck is added, the painting has a soul. So accidents are always going to be there, and we don't have a way to calculate them. β
"It's been a long time since I remembered him as Lagerfeld, when is Westwood coming back?" Bebraz interrupted the soft voice and asked a strange question.
Behind Bebraz, an extremely beautiful woman quietly appeared. She was dressed in a black suit with a well-worn bow tie and a low-hanging top hat that covered half of her face. But the exposed chin and slightly plump lips speak of temptation all the time. With a height of more than 180 centimeters, she will be the center of attention no matter where she appears.
She walked up behind Bebraz, gently rubbed her shoulders for the old man, who was more than half a head shorter, and chuckled, "I still like Mr. Lagerfeld, as for Westwood...... That's an extremely tedious homicidal maniac. According to the normal rule, he should only show up in a week, but I can feel that Mr. Lagerfield is very excited now, and he is very reluctant to go back, maybe Westwood will show up a week later! β
Bebratz's face was a little gloomy, and it was clear that this was not news that would make him happy.
The woman in black smiled flatteringly, kneading Bebraz's shoulders with all her might, and almost to his ear, saying, "I'll kill Persephone for you!" Or Helen too. Please, let me out! Just let me out, anything! β
Although the woman seemed to have used all her tricks, Bebraz's voice was still majestic, and she was not moved at all: "Helen can't kill, we can't kill in Dragon City." Maybe it's okay to change someone, but you definitely can't! If you kill someone in Dragon City, you will directly challenge Josh, so no matter what attitude Lanaxis has, Josh will definitely declare war on me! Elena, do you think I'm in a good position and want to make it harder for me? β
Elena stuck out her tongue slightly, reluctantly expressing some fear, but she immediately pestered and asked, "What about Persephone?" It's okay to kill her, right? β
Bebraz sneered and asked, "Can you kill her?" β
"If she's lucky, then I'm only half sure. However, if you don't try to kill, how do you know if she's lucky? "Elena seemed to be talking about the most trivial thing.
Bebraz shook his head and said, "Persephone is not important, I don't need you for the time being. It's an emergency session of the council in a week, and you're going to stay. At that point, maybe there will be some trouble. β
Elena was visibly upset: "Trouble? What trouble can there be! The council is full of cowards! Even if you stand alone in the middle of them, I guess no one will dare to do it. What's the use of me staying, no one will kill me at all! β
Elena suddenly thought of something, and even her breathing became a little short: "Or, I'll kill Su!" What if Crotina fails? β
Finally, the speaker of the Bloody Council couldn't bear her entanglement, gently rubbed his forehead, sighed, and said, "Elena, do you think I don't know? Without you, Crotina would have succeeded, but without you, she would be doomed! Isn't the person you want to kill the most Crotina? β
Elena exclaimed in surprise and cried out, "Ah! How do you even know this? You are so wise! β
But don't say Beblaz, even a small child can hear the hypocrisy of her words.
