One hundred and ninety-fourth Sura reversal
"Why sue me for this. Muhathir raised a question in his mind.
"There are still many Psychic Warlocks in the city, but they have long been targeted by Shatiri's Salafiste. Her internal guards monitor movements in the city, and if we gather them, they will alarm her. You've just returned to town from outside, and it's time to join us in the action. ”
"What action?" Muhati shook his head slowly, "I can't be the match of the Coral Witch, I don't even have the ability to intervene in that level of battle." ”
"There's no fighting, we just need to show that we're capable of fighting. Akith explained lightly. "This is to prevent the Coral Witch from resorting to violent means to solve the problem. If the plan goes well, we can force her to make a decent compromise and announce the launch of the king's election conference after we show the evidence in our hands. ”
The Coral Witch suddenly declares an election before the King's Election to defend Tyr in another way. In the end, it was Lord Tessian who became the dictator of Tyre for life. Muhadi remembered that not long ago, the merchant Fowad told him, could it be true that what he said?
"I'll explain the specific steps. Camila stepped forward and said.
"Tonight is the time to vote, and it is customary for Shatiri to give a speech at the gate of the old Witch King's palace to incite the people. This also means that she must stay in the palace to prepare at that time. ”
"It's not easy to see the Coral Witch right now, even the councillors. Not to mention creating separate meeting opportunities. Camilla continued, "At this point, if we had offered to meet openly, we would have been rejected. So we had to use a secret passage and sneak into the palace. ”
"This passage was used during the revolution. That's because Lord Tessian has revealed this secret passage," she said, nodding to Tessian. “...... That's why he was able to suddenly kill the witch king in the palace during the revolution and solve the rotten bureaucrats. ”
"After the revolution, everyone thought that the passage had been closed, but it was not. With it, we can easily blend into the interior of the palace. If Shatiri wanted to cast spells there, she would have to extract the vitality of the plants in a large area around her. This vision cannot be concealed, and by doing so, she exposes Tyr's internal weakness. She almost certainly wouldn't dare take the risk. ”
The plan sounded dishonorable, almost like using the nobility of the other party to achieve its own ends. Muhati didn't appreciate the plan, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Tessian, Aikis and Camila that he didn't approve of it.
"If she announces it, will Lord Tessian be elected?" asked the Psychic Warlock, confused. "As far as I know, Lord Taicien's prestige among ordinary people is ...... It's not very pretty. Rikas ......"
"Watch your words, Psychic Warlock. Tessian, who had been silent, spoke. "Rikas may be popular with the common people, but we have united the old nobles and big merchants of the city, and with their help, I am already on par with Rikas. Not to mention ......"
Tessian sarcastically said, "Aren't you psychic warlocks very good at demagoguery?
That's right, Mohamad thought.
"All right, ladies and gentlemen. "We've been here long enough. It's time to get planned, and tomorrow, Tyr will have a new owner. A hero who can lead us to defeat the coalition and gain self-reliance. ”
Tessian and Camilla exchanged specific arrangements, and finally, the group walked out of the dimly lit basement and returned to the Flowing Water Garden.
The nobles and merchants he met along the way greeted him, "Lord Tessian!" and a richly dressed merchant stepped forward to greet him, it was none other than Councilor Foward. When he saw Muhadi, there was a gleam in his eyes, and some strange symbols suddenly appeared in his mind. This is the text of the earth, even if Muhadi, Aikis, and the Trinity can be read, but as long as Muhadi truly understands that the other party is loyal to him.
"I've sent a hundred beautiful girls to cheer on you, Lord Tessian. Fovard said flatteringly, with the mercenary face of a merchant. "They'll sleep with everyone who voted for you. ”
"It's a great honor. Tessian politely bowed her head and saluted back.
Other nobles and merchants also expressed their wishes to Tessian, some with elaborate gifts and others with the promise of gold. Some agreed to use the bard to spread bad news about their opponents, while others didn't say anything but took out a scimitar and gestured. They mean that they are willing to resort to force if necessary to see a satisfactory situation.
Outside the Flowing Water Garden, the closer you get to the square, the more people there are. There were soldiers standing with spears, guarding a large pile of rags. If you look closely, there are pottery shards, rotten lizard skulls, stone arrowheads, and many other debris. Ninety percent of people in Tyre are illiterate, so it's unrealistic to ask them to write down who they support. I had to use tokens to represent each candidate, the arrows for Ricas, the pottery shards for Tessian, the obsidian balls for Shatiri, and so on.
In front of the palace, buildings rise from both sides of the street: shops, gambling houses, brothels, inns and blacksmiths. Some buildings have only one floor, others have two or three or even four floors. A lot of people were leaning out of the windows of the building, as if waiting for something. Unclothed children and glass-blowing traders are occasionally seen, as are thieves and pickpockets.
The square was even more crowded, with traders, currency changers, freed slaves, idle adventurers, and even deserted soldiers, cursing, lying, deceiving and bragging about each other in dozens of different languages.
The king election meeting can be said to be a kind of carnival of the whole people, torchlight procession, speeches, entertainers performances, poets singing, dancers dancing, and brave men duel each other for the candidates they support. Everywhere there were agitators standing on tattered boxes and making generous speeches, surrounded by an audience of more or lesser who, from time to time, burst into applause or insults.
There were many people, so Tai Xi'an didn't dare to stay long, and led the group into an inconspicuous store. The shop sells clothes worn by women, and a half-asleep businesswoman is looking at the storefront. Seeing that the person who came in was Tessian, the businesswoman didn't say anything, and nodded as if it was some code.
"This is one of the secret strongholds of the Templars. With only one explanation, Tessian led the group into the store's basement.
"Today's Tyre was built on the ruins of the old city of Tyre in ancient times. Some of the building bases of Old Tyre still remain beneath the city, forming an intricate cluster of underground secret passages. Tessian walked into a steep downward tunnel and said as he opened the way.
"The Templars have searched these tunnels, and we have found a tunnel that leads to the outside of the city, a gloomy room full of dead bones, a pile of brocades that have been crumbled to pieces, and several ancient chests full of gold coins. ”
"Two Templars went missing during the search, and we searched again and again but couldn't find them. Some of the soldiers swore to hear cries for help from behind the rocks, but blasted the passage with their magic and found nothing. ”
"It was during the search operation that we discovered this secret passage. "Tessian came to a gate that looked very old and was carved out of stone. The door was painted with a faded pattern, and the red and blue were almost gone. Only yellow, black, and other pigments remained, which were more resistant to corrosion.
"What is this?" "What is this?" "What is this?" the Trinity broke the silence and spoke in a neat voice. The three of them were divided into three parts by one person, and it was not unusual for them to speak in unison. It's just not known if any of them will see the other two as part of the "self".
"The temple of the old gods. Camila said, looking at the symbol on the door. "It's been forgotten for a long time, and I don't know which god it is. ”
"Go here. Tessian led the way in front and said.
The underground passage was not comfortable to walk through, and judging by the height of the passage, it was designed for some kind of race that was shorter than humans. Due to the long-abandonment of the land, many monsters have made this place their home. But fortunately, the Starch Spencer sent Druid Camilla to dispel these seemingly powerful, ferocious, and possibly poisonous monsters by simply releasing some kind of gas. Camilla said that these are ordinary biological pheromones, and how they work, but she refuses to explain.
There were no other twists and turns along the way, and for the convenience of action and spell casting, Tessian did not wear his luxurious metal plate armor, but wore simple leather armor. He seemed familiar with the road, and there was no doubt at all when he walked.
"This is it!" said the former Templar.
Muhadi looked up and saw that it was an abandoned stone hall. There was an opening at the top, and there was a black hole inside, so I couldn't see where it was going. The fluorescent fungus seems to be blocked by something, and it can't grow into that passage.
"This leads to the Witch King's bedchamber," said Tessian, "and we'll go up there and find Shatiri." ”
Ekis nodded, "This is the case, and we have no choice. ”
He turned to the Trinity, "There are defensive and detection spells in the palace, and you go ahead and are responsible for breaking those spells. ”
"Agreed. "Agreed. "Against. Trinity said.
Two agreed, one opposed, and the Trinity ended up walking in front and climbing up the walls of the secret passage.
Seeing the expression on Muhadi's face at this time, Aikis leaned over and said. "Psychic warlocks, most of them are weird. Trinity is a relatively normal person in the guild, so I asked for help. So you see, it's not easy for us psychic warlocks to do great things, and there are so many people who are so weird that they can't communicate at all. ”
It wouldn't be for this reason that I was sent to preach and confuse the soldiers. Muhathir thought, but didn't ask.
The process of infiltrating the palace was as smooth as imagined, and there were no alarms, and there were few guards in the palace. Tessian arrived at the door of Shatiri's usual study, and surprisingly, there was no one to guard it.
This is it!, Tessian thought. The psychic warlocks read the message.
When it came to the end, Tessian became a little hesitant again, and he carefully recalled his plan and the evidence in his hand before he was relieved. Send a message with ideas, okay, let's go in.
The former Templar was about to open the door to his study when he heard a calm voice coming from behind the door. "Come in, Tessian. ”
It was Shatiri's voice, as usual, always soft, without raising the pitch of her voice. But at this time, it sounded as harsh as thunder to Tessian.
"And the Trinity of Lord Achilles, Master Camilla, Master Muhadi, and the Psychic Warlocks' Guild. Come in, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
The door opened slowly, and Shatiri, the coral witch whose face had been praised by countless poets, was sitting behind her desk, holding her cheek with one hand, and looking at the comer for a long time.
