Chapter 157: A Congratulatory Gift from the Heart

The words from the stranger did not distract Fidel, who instinctively told him that this was what the Pillar Priest had said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Feder didn't think about why the Pillar Priest's words could reach his ears, but this sentence made Feder change slightly, and he tried to feel the rest of his body while defending Toyah. Fei De suddenly felt that except for the two arms that had to control the sword with both hands and the brain that commanded the whole body, the other body parts were passively cooperating.

Fei De subconsciously stepped in the direction of the left front, and the "silence" of resisting Toya's Blue Flame Sword was slightly tilted, and he was still able to block the opponent's attack, but Toya's next attack changed direction due to Feide's footsteps and attacked from the other side. This angle allowed Fidel to focus better, blocking Toya's sword with a "silence" and slashing back with the momentum, striking the first sword of the counterattack!

The sword in Toya's hand turned from attack to defense at that moment, and he was unable to attack at high speed for the next two moves, but this slight change was quickly controlled by Toya, who continued to suppress Fide with high-speed sword skills.

Although Fidel's situation at the bottom of the game has not changed, that step forward has made Fidel realize that he still has a way to change the tide of the battle. Feder began to look for ways to use his legs, and he even tripped Toya slightly with his right foot in the defense that followed, and in that moment, Feder had an excellent counterattack!

"Captain Toya!" a shout disrupted the battle between the two, and the person whose name was called immediately put away his attacking sword and took a few steps back. Fidel saw that it was none other than his subordinate Vittorio.

"And Captain Fidel, the two have already attracted the attention of the guards of the Duchy of No, it is better to stop as soon as possible. Vittorio said nonchalantly.

Toya also sensed that some guards were coming this way in the distance, and he immediately picked up the scabbard that had fallen to the ground, "We haven't decided yet. With that, he turned and strode in the direction of the banquet hall.

Only then did Fed realize that the Pillar Priest was no longer in the boat, and that the boat had come to shore. Vittorio saw Toya walk away before walking quickly in front of Fidel, the short boy noticed that Fidel was sweating profusely, his entire long black hair was soaked with sweat, and the black plate armor also had multiple sword marks, each of which had been burned, leaving a lot of flaws in this otherwise perfect enchanted plate armor.

"Captain, are you alright?!" Vittorio's timely appearance rescued Fidel from the predicament, although Fidel had tried to disrupt Toya's rhythm with his footsteps just now, Toya's strength was obviously above Fidel, and he was also able to deal with Fide's change of tactics with ease.

"If you had just called my name first, I might have died by the other man's sword. Fidel exhaled as he opened his mouth and said to Vittorio.

"I noticed that Toya, the leader of the Blue Flame Mercenary Regiment, left the venue so I came here with me, and the pillar priest seems to have disappeared. ”

"Yes, he's out of nowhere. Feder recalled the voice, was the Pillar Priest helping himself, or was he trying to disturb his mind? If the Pillar Priest wanted to take advantage of the situation, he could have done a lot of things, and what was the reason for him to remind himself? Fei De had been trying to find out the reason on the way back to the banquet hall, and it was obviously impossible to kill the Pillar Priest during this wedding banquet. Toya didn't use all his strength, but he was already difficult to parry, and compared with the powerhouses on the mainland, there was still a very big gap in his strength.

By the time Fide and Vittorio returned to the banquet hall, Orlando was dancing in the arena, Toyer was nowhere to be seen, and Walter and some of the nobles had left the banquet room.

"It's a delicious dessert, try it too!" As soon as Maev saw Fede return, she picked up a piece of cream cake covered with hazelnut nuts and handed it to the other party. As soon as Fidel took the cake, a few crisp applause suddenly rang out.

"If you're not already drunk, maybe you should listen to me tell a story in the rest of the time. The leader of the rebels, Lutz, suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards the center of the banquet hall, his voice loud enough for all the guests in the banquet hall to hear. The Duchy soldiers behind him immediately clenched their weapons to guard against any misdeeds on the part of Rutz, while Van calmed the captain of the guard who commanded the guards, who was only a young man.

The guests who were still dancing in the venue were all stunned, and the music stopped abruptly. At the Duke of Aldington's gesture, all the guests returned to their places, leaving Lutz alone in the center of the venue.

"Lutz, you should pay attention to where you are now, and your own identity. Luthers stood up, he couldn't bear the unfilial brother disturbing his wedding feast. Margaret, who was sitting on the side, looked at her brother Jack's seat, the other party didn't know where to run, and the guards didn't even look at Jack.

"Of course, my brother," said Lutz, with one hand to his chest, and bowed to Lord Luthers, "but I believe this story is relevant to you, don't you want to hear it?"

"Don't talk nonsense about meaninglessness, come back quickly..."

As soon as Suzanne wanted to come out to stop Lutz, Lutz waved his hand and motioned to Suzanne not to take another step forward, "Okay, Susanna, you can also calm me down!" Suzanne was stunned, she didn't expect Lutz to drink her like this.

After all the guests had returned to their seats, Lutz began to say: "There was once a doctor with a strong sense of justice, who saved countless patients and won the praise of the whole city, but he had the principle that he would not help the murderer who had lost his conscience. Because he knew that if those murderers had gained a healthy body, they would surely continue to do evil. The doctor had his own way of judging whether the other party had lost his conscience, and unfortunately, a nobleman who had already become a demon imprisoned the doctor and his family, and demanded that the doctor treat him. ”

As Feder said this, he noticed that Lutz's subordinate Levier was sitting upright in Lutz's seat, quietly tasting a piece of cake.

The doctor knew that if he saved this dying nobleman, it would lead to the killing of more innocent civilians, but he also loved his wife and children, and when he was in a dilemma, he came up with a brilliant solution. ”

Lutz tells the story with emotion, and some of the female nobles are also attracted to Lutz's story, while most of the others are nervous, afraid that something will happen at any time.

He developed a medicine that could suppress the sickness of the nobles, but at the same time, the medicine could not completely cure the diseases of the nobles, like the roots of weeds. The aristocracy's health began to improve, and he also had to consider letting the doctor go under pressure from the masses. Before leaving the nobleman's castle, the doctor specially left the nobleman another very ordinary medicine, telling the other party to take it before going to bed, so that the nobleman would be cured. Unexpectedly, on the night of the doctor's departure, the nobleman vomited blood and died violently after taking the medicine, and the doctor's family also lived in seclusion, and no one could find them anymore. ”

The Duke of Oldington rebuked, "All right! The appalling story is over! What else do you want to do?!"

Lutz raised his head slightly and looked at the roof of the inner banquet hall, "Actually, those two medicines can save people, but when the two medicines are taken at the same time, they will become highly poisonous." Everyone here knows Duke Pobo of the East Oguna Empire, who died under this poison, and it was at the dinner party. ”

Lutz's words shocked everyone, and some of the quicker ones had already turned their eyes to the food in front of them - could it be that the food was also poisoned!?

Before the Duke of Aldington, who was blue-faced, could speak, Lutz took out a very light and thin piece of glass from his arms, "Lord Duke, do you remember what this is?"

"This is..."

"This is your birthday present to me when I was ten years old," the piece of glass that Lutz was holding would surely make a crisp cracking sound if it fell to the ground, "and you told me at that time that the country is people-oriented, and they are like this piece of glass, although it is not very valuable, not as precious as a diamond, but it must be carefully kept, and it cannot be easily removed." Because if the glass accidentally falls to the ground, it will shatter and break in an instant, and those shards are enough to make the hand that picked it up pay the price of blood. ”

"What are you going to say!"

Lutz closed his eyes, but soon opened them again, "But you forgot what you said, you made a mistake, Lord Duke, you forgot the suffering of the commoners, you forgot to take care of it, you forgot the meaning of this glass, you have become a nightmare for the common people, just like the nobles in the story." ”

"It's you who is wrong!" Luthers stood up and rebuked Rutz, "Ivon City is already the richest city on the mainland, and the Duchy of Neo has not had a war for many years!

Lutz smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Have you ever seen those children living in remote areas, their dilapidated homes?"

Luthers was stunned, the lord who lived near the city of Evon rarely traveled to other parts of the Duchy of Noo, but the Duke of Aldington already understood what Lutz was trying to say.

"The richness and prosperity of Ibon City, as well as the wealth of the Chamber of Commerce, are all because you and the Chamber of Commerce have become blood-sucking leeches, sucking up the 'blood' of civilians in other regions, so you are so fat!" Lutz pointed to the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce mercenary group sitting next to Feid, those people were indeed full of brains.

Feder recalls that when he first came to the border of the Three Duchyes to transport grain, the territory of the Duchy of Noo was indeed desolate, and even groups of horse thieves appeared. Could it be that the prosperity of the Duchy of Noao was an illusion, and that countless people of the Duchy were exploited by the Chamber of Commerce and the rulers to become victims of the prosperity of the capital and the trade city?

"The expansion of the power of the Chamber of Commerce determines which parts of the Duchy of Noò can be rich, but those places that are not worthy of the investment of the Chamber of Commerce have become barren lands," Lutz's words made the Duke of Aldington speechless, and the representative of the Chamber of Commerce mercenary group next to Feide also showed a look of shame, "So those civilians are naturally abandoned by you, and their poverty is ignored! They should become slaves of your false prosperity!?" Rutz's face turned red as he became more and more agitated, and his eyes widened so wide that everyone present could not be heard.

"The prosperity of the whole country is not overnight, let a part of it first..."A nobleman of the Duchy of Noao was interrupted as soon as he spoke.

"So you're eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, while the civilians of those areas are eating bark and grass roots?!" Fielder glanced at the food on the table, and each guest could enjoy a meal for three people, which was indeed a luxury.

Lutz looked up at the roof, and Fielder followed the other's gaze - there were dozens of thick and long ropes on the roof, "This is another gift I brought to my brother." ”
