Westminster Abbey, on the side of the bell tower, can be heard in the office not far away from the rotation of the cardinal, the crisp sound of the huge second hand ticking forward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fireplace shines brightly.

Ye Qingxuan sat on the sofa and looked at the copper seal in his hand.

"Ye Qingxuan, remember, don't trust anyone in Avalon. ”

Maxwell's voice still lingered in his ears: "Including me." ”

"Including you?"

Ye Qingxuan muttered softly and rubbed his forehead with a little headache.

I don't understand.

What the hell is Maxwell up to.

What's going on?

He pondered for a long time, unable to find a clue, so he could only focus on the copper seal in his hand.

The thickness of the thumb and the length of one hand, the standard secret copper seal looks like brass, but it is actually an alloy material mixed with lapis gold, and the hardness and toughness are more than diamonds, which are used to store confidential documents and confidential information.

The special design scheme will be damaged once opened, and the special fire paint of the seal is intact, and there is no situation where anyone peeks at it.

For some reason, the cold copper seal felt vaguely warm in his hand, as if it contained coals. But if you feel it carefully, it's still cold.

Warmth is just an illusion.

No, it's not.

Ye Qingxuan could feel it clearly.

There was some kind of heat that his flesh could not feel seeping from it, with a tingling sensation like a needle, wisps, dim and faint, but it saw steel as nothing, passing through his body, through the air, and dissipating into the air.

"What is it?"

Ye Qingxuan moved his fingers in unison, carefully dismantled the shell of the copper seal according to the method in his memory, removed the self-destruct machinery inside, and put it aside, before he breathed a sigh of relief and unscrewed the screws of the copper seal.

To his surprise, what slipped into his hand inside the copper seal was a heavy lead pipe.

He was only opening the outermost package of the gift.

The lead pipe is heavy to the touch, as if it has been treated with alchemy, at least several times heavier than its peers, and after unscrewing the outer layer, the fine interlayer in the middle can be seen through the side wall. Dozens of strange materials are nested in the middle, carefully sealing off what is in the core.

It's like a flood beast locked down.

Hot.

In the faint green light in the lead cylinder, the illusory heat that Ye Qingxuan felt was dozens of times stronger than just now, and the stinging sensation was like the capillaries in his body were congested and ruptured after intense exercise.

It's like, reunited after a long absence......

Ye Qingxuan held the stone the size of the tail phalangeal and looked at it carefully, but after a while, he felt dizzy and dizzy, and there was a sense of sluggishness when his fingers moved. After a moment of silence, he reached out and removed a layer of skin from his suddenly chapped palm.

He could feel that the cells in his body were more active than ever.

Also unprecedented debilitating.

It's being killed at a tenfold rate, and it's regenerating at a tenfold rate, and it's going on some kind of slow ...... Dissimilation?!

What the hell did Maxwell leave for himself!

"-- Iron of Decay. ”

Outside the door, Stone's voice rang out in the distance.

It seems that through the heavy door, you can feel the doubts in Ye Qingxuan's heart.

He didn't push the door in, but said hoarsely, "You'd better put that thing away." None of us here but you are immune to the dangers of that thing......"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, "Is this thing dangerous?"

"Very dangerous. ”

Stone replied: "In the pollutant rating, it is even higher than the threat level of the Cup of Hope, and according to the results of the counter, the thing on your body is also a dangerous substance that is absolutely forbidden to circulate and excavate in the East."

It kills the cells in your body and destroys the person from the tiniest end. Except for the few pure-blooded celestials in the world, anyone else who dares to play with this kind of thing is committing suicide......"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and carefully put the decay iron back into the lead barrel.

But the illusory heat and stinging pain still lingered here, and could not be dissipated.

What was Maxwell thinking?

"You'd better come out. ”

Stone sighed: "I'll have people seal this place off later, and within half a year, it's no longer suitable for human habitation." ”

Even after Ye Qingxuan came out, Shi Dong still maintained a distance of ten meters between the two, as if hiding from a flood beast.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Your Excellency, I want to live a few more years. ”

Stone cautiously put on a strangely heavy hazmat suit for himself: "Actually, you are now a humanoid poison. I would advise you not to come into contact with people until you have removed what you have on your body...... With your physical signs and the speed of regeneration, you can speed up to more than ten times that of ordinary people, and you should be fine in one night. ”

Maxwell, what are you trying to do!!

Ye Qingxuan rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly:

"Well, what the hell is the matter with you coming to me so late?"

Stone pointed to the room, "You should have read my briefing, right?"

"What you wrote was so wordy, you only read the first part. ”

"It's okay, you just need to be clear about the shameful past. ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, covering his face and sighing.

“...... Indeed, it's a shame. ”

Leviathan turned out to be a lake fairy or something...... Is King Arthur's brain really fine?

No, history proves that this bastard is indeed sick in the brain.

And he was so sick that he couldn't figure it out.

-

Ye Qingxuan beckoned and motioned for Shi Dong to come with him.

If you can't stay in the room, find a place where you can sit and talk.

Soon, they reached the atrium of the church.

Ye Qingxuan sat on the bench, muttered for a long time, and couldn't help scratching his hair: "I know what you always ask...... But in the current situation, there is no way to start. ”

Stone was not surprised by this, but just bowed his head and suggested indifferently: "Then go over again, don't forget your purpose." What are you here for?"

"Save Anglo, of course. ”

Ye Qingxuan replied, but Shi Stone still looked at him again and asked, "What else?"

Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "While saving Anglo, save Maxwell." ”

Stone was still cold, like an old fool, the sky was not shocked, he just scratched his chin, and for a long time, he commented lightly: "This will be difficult." ”

"Of course I do. Ye Qingxuan asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Me?"

Stone pondered, scratching his steel skull, and sighed: "According to my experience in previous years, if you don't know how to defeat the enemy, then clean up the inside first...... Idle is idle anyway. ”

"Huh?" Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

Stone repeated: "Purge the inside, I mean...... You don't understand what I mean, do you?"

"I know what you're talking about, but why is this?"

"That's the style of the Inquisition. ”

Stone replied as a matter of course: "Anyway, there is nothing to do, so let's clean up the interior first." Necessary cleaning and purification is the foundation for an organization to gain a long-term foothold. At all times, it is necessary to guarantee the purity of the organization.

At the very least, we must first figure out who is not pure. ”

"What about after you figure it out?"

Stone spread his hands, "Of course, it's included in the list of 'reserve firewood'." Demons still have use value after death, but heresy is a troublesome thing that can only be used as firewood.

Fortunately, dead and alive can be burned.

Why are you so slow in this regard, Your Excellency? I thought you would be very good at it. ”

“......”

Ye Qingxuan was speechless, "Stone, can you say something useful?"

"I think I've been hinting at something quite explicit, right?"

Stone looked at him with a serious look in his eyes: "You know what I'm reminding you, right?"

If you want to save the country, you shouldn't care so much, and don't be tied down by inconsequential things.

In this world, others are always unreliable, and if you want something, you have to do it yourself, Your Excellency.

As long as you nod your head, the stake can be erected on Queen's Road tomorrow.

The politicians who have held secret meetings these days, tried to dictate to you, wanted to separate powers, and white wolves with empty gloves, as well as the aristocratic maggot parasites who thought they were noble but had no use for the country, would line up in long lines, one after another, and turn into a pile of soot cleanly and unpolluted.

From now on, you will have no constraints and you can show off your skills...... Do you have anything to expect from this group of goods?"

Silent.

There was a long silence.

Ye Qingxuan smoked his pipe, exhaled a depressed smoke, and asked in a muffled voice, "In your opinion, there is no one to be trusted?"

"Trust? ”

Stone scoffed, "Your Excellency, even the Inquisition has an irresistible temptation, let alone the others?, I don't hate those nobles, and I understand their stupidity, after all, that's the nature of the power class.

Many of them may be called kind, but their own origin and position determine their position. These boring things can always be understood as long as you are willing to put your mind to it.

Take out the devil's style, Lord Judge.

Who do you think wouldn't betray you?"

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a long time and asked tentatively:

"Maxwell?"

Stone shook his head: "He loves you, I can see it, but he has more love." ”

"Lancelot?"

Stone shook his head again: "He loves you too, but ...... You know. ”

"Okay, what about Mephistopheles?"

Stone sneered: "I don't know if you have heard a saying: the priest is reliable, and the sow also goes up the tree." Do you really believe that he will be tight-lipped about what he heard in the confessional?"

Ye Qingxuan sighed and shook his head.

There was a long silence.

Ye Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I probably thought of one." ”

"Oh?" Stone raised his brow.

"In Avalon, the one I trust the most, who won't betray me, and who can help...... I kind of know who it is. Unfortunately, it doesn't know where it has gone, and I can't find it. ”

"Wait...... You mean 'it'?"

"Well, 'it'. ”

“......”

Stone was silent for a long time, and then sighed in a sullen voice: "To some extent, maybe this kind of trust can really stand the test......

He was a little helpless about Ye Qingxuan's non-morality.

Stone didn't bother to talk anymore, anyway, in his opinion, the reality was like this, and the situation would force Ye Qingxuan to make a choice, it was nothing more than sooner or later.

So he got up and took his leave, and went back to sleep.

Ye Qingxuan was left alone on the bench smoking a pipe, helplessly looking at the gloomy night sky above his head, searching his intestines and scraping his stomach, thinking of a way.

"It's a nuisance. ”

He rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Then, the voice of Sissy Suo was heard.

Among the dead branches and leaves, something came lightly with four paws, and the golden hair was already stained with mud stains, which had not been combed for a long time, and had become knotted and tangled.

But its eyes are still wide, high and unstoppable.

Easily jumped onto the bench and sat next to Ye Qingxuan, skimming his disbelief expression, and let out a disdainful breath from his nostrils.

Immediately afterwards, he shook his body and skillfully threw all the mud spots on Ye Qingxuan's clothes.

"Hey, old Fei!"

Ye Qingxuan finally came to his senses, jumped up from his chair, was ecstatic, laughed, and hugged the person he trusted the most in Avalon: "It's been a long time!" (To be continued.) )
