Chapter 62: Bluffing
"Whose descendants are you?" Rick looked at Adam, his gaze penetrating to the marrow.
The atmosphere in the room was so dull that it froze, and Adan didn't know when Emperor Rick woke up, how many of his 'rebellious' remarks he heard, and how much strength the other party had regained.
"My grandfather's grandfather was Azul, and Ola was my sister. Adan said with his eyes down.
"Ah, little Azul, when I left the imperial capital to fight against the Sea Clan and the rebels, he was still a teenager. I didn't expect him to escape from the imperial capital alive, and grow up and have offspring. Rick sighed, "Then you are my direct descendants, as my descendants, do you really want to hold a sword against your ancestors and a sage?"
Under the pressure of the other party, Adan finally gave up the confrontation, he put his long sword on the ground, knelt on one knee, and performed a courtesy to the emperor for the younger generations of the royal family. When Ola saw her brother give in, she also came over tremblingly and made the same move. Then he hung his head and was silent.
"Well, tell me how little Azul escaped?" the Emperor was still sitting on the bed, but everyone felt the pressure around them begin to lighten.
"It is said that the guards paid a great price and escaped through the secret passages before the city was breached. Soon after they escaped from the city, the magicians of the Royal Mage Tower and the besieging rebels opened the gates, and most of the remaining people in the palace were killed. The guards eventually escorted Azul to the borders of the Empire, hiding in the mountains near the southern city-states. The rebels never gave up chasing them. Later, my ancestors traveled many places in the mountains, but we still have our home in that area, and the descendants of the loyal guards have followed us. ”
It seems that the rumors that the mysterious magicians in the rebel army are from the Royal Mage Tower, these shameless people, eating the offerings of the Empire, treat me and my descendants like this. Emperor Rick pondered for a moment with a gloomy face, and then asked, "Then how did you know I was here?"
"Your chief of guard, Baron Avaroa, finally found Azul and told them the news. However, he was attacked on the road, was seriously injured, and died not long after. ”
"Alas, faithful Avaloa, he was the last man by my side, and when he let him take the news out, I fell asleep. ”
"But we were hunted down at the time, and we really didn't dare to lure the rebels in this direction, so the secret was only passed down from generation to generation. By my grandfather's generation, things were starting to get better, and by my generation, we finally had the strength to explore the ruins and wake you up. ”
Adan went on to describe some of the conditions in their camp.

At this time, Ji Yijun opened his mouth to talk to Luo Ling, but saw Luo Ling glance at the gram, and then shook his head.
He's bluffing. Ji Yijun suddenly said in English.
"What?" Luo Ling was stunned.
"Don't you see? He's stalling, he can't even move a finger now. What is the difference between him and a patient who has just woken up from a hospital bed? I think what he can do is release his mental power to scare us. Ji Yijun continued to say in English.
"What do you want to do?" Luo Ling also asked in English.
"I think we have a chance to raid and I want to give him a pistol. If he can move, we will run, and if he can't move, he will be him. ”
"Hold your breath. Didn't you hear that? Adam wasn't telling the truth. ”
"Ah, yes, their base is obviously to the north. ”
"Continue to listen to them, and remember, for a moment you have to be calm no matter what Adan says. ”
The conversation between the two of them attracted the attention of Emperor Rick, who asked Adan, "What is the relationship between these people and you, and why do you speak in words that we don't understand?"
"These are mercenaries and mages who wandered from the Western Continent. I can't trust the local magicians, they have all betrayed us, so that's why they came to open the seal at the door. "You see, some of them have completely different hair and pupil colors than we do, and they are used to speaking the native dialect of the Western Continent to each other. ”
Emperor Rick nodded lightly and said, "The Western Continent, that distant continent actually got in touch with us?"
"Just a hundred years ago, the people of the Sea Clan explored a route connecting the Eastern Continent, the Southern Isles, and the Western Continent. Although these people of the Sea Clan are despicable and shameless, they still have a set of rules in seafaring. ”
"Yes. It seems that a lot of things happened in my absence. Emperor Kerry smiled, his old face wrinkled, "It's a bad feeling to be absent from these big events. But luckily I'm back and I've recovered a lot. ”
"However, these are things that are far away, but what happened to the rebels in the territory of the empire is more important. Adan didn't dare to say anything more about the story of the Western Continent, and quietly brought the topic back.
Emperor Rick really looked at those who fought with him, which made the people lying here even more concerned, and he looked a little angry, and asked, "You say, what happened to those shameless traitors?"
"You know, those rebels have three leaders. ”
"Of course I know, a knight Alan Dias, a berserker Merlot Arias, and a mysterious mage. ”
"That mage is actually Matthew Doria. ”
At that time, Matthew Doria of the Tower of God Refining and Tasaso Lerena, known as the twin of the Royal Magic Tower, were the two young people who were most likely to step into the Sanctuary. The empire invested an unknown amount of resources in these two people, and even I myself met with him several times, gave him a lot of advice, and funded many experiments and experiences for him. That's how he repaid me!"
"It is said that he was out on his way to training when he met two other traitors in an ancient ruin. It seems that they have each received some kind of inheritance, and they have become very powerful. Finally, I saw your chance to fight the Sea Clan for the mainland, and stabbed you in the back. And Sasso wasn't much better, you know, he was a good friend of Matthew Doria, and he was the key figure in mobilizing the entire Royal Magic Tower to rebel together! Adan said, observing Rick's reaction in secret.
Rick's breathing was noticeably heavier, his lips pursed, and he seemed to be genuinely angry. He sat silently for a while with a calm face before he said: "Say, what has become of the situation on the mainland in the future? What is the final outcome of these two treacherous fellows?"
