Verse 23: Betrayal

A few days ago.

"Who?!" the sailor in charge of the guard suddenly shouted, nervously clenching the spear in his hand.

A suspicious humanoid figure emerged from the bushes, and after one glimpse at the sailor, he fell headlong to the ground and fell unconscious.

The sailor was stunned, cautiously approached the unconscious mystery man, put a spear on his shoulder, and turned his face upside down, facing the sky.

Despite his dark face and horrific burns, the sailor frowned for a moment and recognized the identity of the mysterious man.

"It's yellow algae !!"

"The yellow algae is still alive. ”

"Captain Cyanobacteria, your brother is still alive, he's back. ”

The sailor shouted and alerted the entire camp to the explorers.

A group of people flocked to it, led by the cyanobacteria with a strong body, a majestic physique with two adults combined, and a rich and deep bronze breath.

Seeing the unconscious xanzae, the blue-green algae was in disbelief at first, and then was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly squatted down, lifted the head of the xanzao, and made him half-lying.

"Brother, brother, wake up!" called Cyanobacteria.

Although the yellow algae was unconscious, he was still muttering in his mouth: "Water...... Water ......"

As soon as Cyanobacteria stretched out his hand, the other sailors immediately handed over the water bags.

After being moistened by water, the yellow algae finally slowly woke up.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and seeing the rough face of the cyanobacteria, the yellow algae almost burst into tears: "Brother, I am the yellow algae, I am back, I have picked up a life!"

The voice of the yellow algae was very hoarse and extremely weak.

He was alone chasing after the army, and it was not easy to be in this dangerous forest.

"Huangzao, what the hell is going on? We all thought you were dead. Captain Cyanobacteria tried to go back to you several times, but everyone stopped him, and no one thought you would be alive. Spirulina wiped your tears several times. "An old man squeezed into the crowd.

He was covered all over his face, with a thin figure and a pair of cracked glasses. He has a large gray beard, and he has not cleaned it for a long time because he has slept in the open air, causing his white beard to become black and gray, like a rag that has been used for a long time.

This old man is the beard.

He was an old scholar who had served the aristocracy for many years.

The whole team respected him, and because of his guidance, the team walked out of the desert.

"Thank the gods, thank fate, you are still here, you are alive. Oh my God, what a miracle!" cried out Cyanobacteria.

"Tell your brother what happened to you?" Cyanobacteria was also very curious.

Huang Zao snorted angrily: "I'm not dead at all." It's just that at that time, I was in a coma for the time being......"

He briefly described the development and outcome of the matter.

Cyanobacteria was very emotional: "Yellow algae, you really picked up a life, it's really thrilling." ”

The people around echoed each other, saying words of exclamation or congratulations.

The old scholar Cang Sue's face sank: "Trouble, everyone, it seems that we are in trouble." ”

"What's the trouble?" someone asked.

"No matter how troublesome it is, I won't abandon my brother! We fought with the spider swarm!" A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the blue-green algae, and his attitude was very resolute.

Huang Zao said: "There are no spiders following me, everyone can rest assured." As soon as they escape their hunting spots, the spiders will climb back into the canopy. I've been with them for days. ”

"Besides, the last fire, the spiders were probably burned to death. ”

Huang Zao's tone was proud. The danger passed, and his escape turned into a boastful capital.

The old scholar shook his head: "I'm not talking about spiders, I'm talking about those two people." ”

"Those two people must have died a long time ago, although it is a pity. "Yellow algae road. He did not directly confess that he had fled from the battle, but said that the eight-legged spider attacked them, and he was lucky, and after being let go, he took the opportunity to escape.

"Not necessarily dead. The old scholar sighed.

Cyanoza muttered, "Low-level magic and fighting spirit are forbidden on this island, and those two young people have such great ability to escape the angry eight-legged spider leader?"

The old scholar always frowned: "The strength of the black iron level is indeed banned on this island. But what about the silver level? What about the gold level? There are no such strong people among us, so we can't be sure if such strength is also banned!"

Huang Zao's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Mr. Cangxu, do you think those two are silver masters, or even gold powerhouses? This is impossible, the two of them are too young." Besides, I have never felt any silver or gold from them. Instead, the girl seemed to be a black iron magician. ”

The old scholar laughed and shook his head slightly: "Are there still few young powerhouses?" The White Wolf General of Cold Iron City is only seventeen years old, and the Great Magician of the Golden Rose Family, Shui Si, is only a sixteen-year-old girl. The recently rising Killer Rock, which was dug up from civilians by the Killer Alliance, is rumored to be only eighteen years old. ”

"No, these people are the big names of the future, and they are too far away from us. Could it be that I just ran into such a person casually?"

The old scholar's voice was at the bottom: "The probability is very high. According to your description, that girl is young and has the strength of black iron. She herself can't be ignored, so what kind of level of power is it that cultivated her?"

"That girl respectfully calls the boy an adult, so what about the status and strength of this boy? ”

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the faces of the two brothers Huangzao and Cyanobacteria obviously began to look ugly.

The old scholar waited for a moment before continuing to speak: "I think that young man not only has a high status, but he is also very strong. It is unlikely that the gold cultivation will be made, but it is likely to be a silver-level powerhouse. ”

"Mr. Greybeard, do you have any evidence?" asked Cyanoza rhetorically, "why do you think so?"

Cangsu smiled: "We can think about it from a different angle." Let's say you find a helper, and trying to rescue this person will confront more than a dozen bronze-level eight-legged spiders. And there are only two teammates, including you. If you are not a silver or gold-level strength, how dare you provoke these spiders and risk saving people?"

Cyanobacteria opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a while.

"So, it's likely that these two people didn't die. I have offended a silver master, maybe even a gold-level powerhouse?" Huang Zao muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"I shouldn't have run away, I should have given them back the dagger! I was wrong, I made a big mistake!!" cried out as the yellow algae grabbed the arm of the blue-green algae.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, he finally chose to confess.

When everyone heard that he had escaped from the battle and had taken the crucial dagger with him, their faces changed.

"Mr. Cangsu, what can I do about this?" Cyanobacteria also lost his attention, and could only turn his attention to the old scholar for advice.

"Don't panic, everybody. Cangsu raised his hand to stabilize everyone's emotions first, "Things haven't gotten out of control yet. ”

"Everything before that was my guess. The two of them may well have become food for spiders, or died in the fire. Isn't it?"

"But didn't you just say it, it's more likely that these two people have solved the trouble and are chasing us. We've all left marks along the way. Cyanobacteria's face was very confused.

Cangsu nodded, staring at the blue-green algae with a deep gaze: "So, we're going to turn around and go back now." We need to determine whether the two of them are alive or dead. ”

"If they die, we might be able to pick up some good gear. ”

"If they're alive, they're in some kind of predicament. We are going to help the two of them, repay the two of them for saving their lives, and atone for the escape of the yellow algae. ”

"If they are after us, I strongly advise everyone not to resist until they have to. Let's think about it carefully, can we match the strong man who can solve the eight-legged spider swarm?"

"Surrender! Surrender is a good option. ”

"Don't forget, we were all on the same boat, and we all ended up here. They need us, the big guys need subordinates, at least they need enough people to control the ship. ”

The scholar Cangsu's words made everyone nod their heads.

"So, what should I do?" asked Huang Zao anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm here, brother. Although Cyanobacteria said this, her tone was clearly lacking in confidence.

Cang Xu looked at Huang Zao sincerely: "Tough confrontation will only kill you, even if you blindly escape, where can you escape? Escape to the forest and be eaten by wild beasts? According to my method, it is your greatest vitality." Remember, if those two big shots are still alive, be sure to show your worth for surviving as much as possible. Don't be stingy with your belongings, although the big people will definitely not look down on them, but you must also contribute, and you must fully express your remorse. ”

Huang Zao kept nodding his head, desperately trying to keep Cang Su's words in mind.

With that, the group turned around and returned the way they came.

At the location of the mountain spring, they encountered needle gold and purple di.

They took the initiative to appear, and Huang Zao came out of the crowd and walked in front of the young girl.

"It's you! Hmph, we've finally got you, Xanguine. ”

Zidi was displeased, and Needle Gold remained silent, with an unkind gaze.

The heart of the yellow algae trembled.

How he wished that Needle Gold and Zidi would die like this. But now the two of them stood in front of him in good manner.

Even if Huang Zao is a rough man and confused by nature, the meaning contained in this has already been explained clearly and clearly by the old scholar Cangsu.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Zao saw the "new weapon" equipped with needle gold.

These war spears, sickles, and swords were obviously assembled from spider forelimbs and wood!

"They've wiped out that silver-tier spider leader!"

"Why am I so unlucky to run into two big shots?!"

When.

The scimitar in Huang Zao's hand was thrown on the rock.

Then, with a plop, Huang Zao knelt on the ground, hit the ground with his forehead, and took the initiative to beg for mercy: "Two adults! I was wrong, I committed an unforgivable sin! The villain will not resist, if he wants to kill or chop, it is all up to the two adults to deal with!"

The teenager and the girl looked at each other, both a little confused

What's going on?

When they were surrounded, they thought they were going to do them badly. As a result, Huang Zao directly pleaded guilty and surrendered.

"The two adults, whose old name is Cangsu, are scholars who have served the Shata family for thirty-eight years. The old scholar also came over at this time.

He was followed by a strong man, none other than Cyanobacteria.

Needle Jin didn't speak, Zidi took a half step forward and took the initiative to speak: "I am Zidi, the leader of the contemporary Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. Now I have the honor to introduce to you - the Lord in front of you is the owner of a noble bloodline, and his bloodline can be traced back to the legendary Warcraft Golden Needle Queen. He was the sole heir of the Hundred Needles family, a Templar, and an alternate to the Lord of White Sands this time. ”

"Wisteria Chamber of Commerce?" As soon as Zidi spoke, some people in the crowd couldn't help but let out a low voice.

This famous chamber of commerce, these people have more or less heard of it.

"Templars?" Zidi exclaimed as she said this.

The body of the blue-green algae shook for a while, and the yellow algae knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and both ears began to buzz.

The pupils of the "Hundred Needle Family ......" old scholar cangsu shrank.

He knew far more about the nobility than about cyanobacteria, xanthophyllum and others. Cang Xu is clear: the Hundred Needles family is not simple, although this family has suffered heavy losses because of the fight against the empire, but after all, they are once great nobles in the south, and they have a deep heritage. The contemporary Hundred Needles Patriarch is a gold-level powerhouse, and although he has suffered heavy losses, he is still not to be underestimated. And the young man in front of him is the only heir of such a family?

A respectful look appeared on Cangsu's face, and he bent down to salute and said in a deep voice, "Cangsu is fortunate to be able to meet the two adults here. ”

Cyanoza knelt on the ground: "Cyanoza knocks on the two adults." My lord, xanguine is my own brother. I am willing to pay the price of my own life, and I beg you to forgive him for his sins!"

"Brother!" Huang Zao looked up, straightened his upper body, and looked at Cyanozaga in shock, his forehead was already covered with blood.

Needle Gold was expressionless and silent, and the pressure on others was increasing in this way.

"Two adults. The old scholar spoke again, "Allow me, an outsider, to be honest about all the facts I have seen. ”

"Say it. Needle Gold finally uttered the first words.

Cangsu let out a breath of turbid air and continued, "Huang Zao let go of his unforgivable sins, and he finally rushed back to his brother's side with all his might. He was so frightened and weak that he fell unconscious. ”

"This reckless and cowardly young man is indeed fleeing in the face of death. But when he settled down, he was tormented by the sins and guilt he bore on him. ”

Deeply remorseful and remorseful, he did not hide the slightest thing, told us all the truth, and prayed for everyone's help to rush back to the Spider Forest to rescue the two adults. ”

"That's why we're here to be lucky enough to meet two adults. ”

"Please also ask the two adults, remember that Huang Zao has the heart to repent and atone for his sins, and let him be lightly punished. ”

Yellow algae and cyanobacteria cast grateful glances at the baranga.

Zi Di glanced at the two brothers kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sneer: "This despicable and cowardly villain deceived Lord Needle Gold and concealed the fact of the existence of the Silver Demon Beast, just for his own selfishness. Then he fled from the battle, putting the noble bloodline in danger and taking revenge! This scholar, you advise us to be lenient with such people?"

Cang Xu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "The first time I met the two adults, it was indeed too offensive for the old man to say these words. But in fact, the two of them are not soldiers of the Empire, they are just sailors on the Pig's Kiss, and if you want to talk about escaping, it can't be counted, right?"

"Alas, the brothers were poor people. They were fishermen who lost their parents at an early age, and the brothers had to rely on each other for their lives. If an adult wants to execute his younger brother, then I am afraid that his elder brother will not live alone. ”

"Lord Needlegold, you are a Templar, a knight of knights. You were born noble and have a great future, like the clouds. And the brothers are nothing more than ants in the dirt. Lord Needle Gold, you must be the future Lord of White Sands. Then your light will shine on the whole city, and your kindness will nourish all the inhabitants. Why are you stingy with these two little ants?"

"If you forgive these two poor and pathetic little ants, I believe that the two of them will repent for the rest of their lives, and remember your compassion and kindness, and they will do their best to repay your kindness!"

Zidi raised her eyebrows and took a deep look at Cang Hu, but she didn't speak.

Ayosu gently kicked the blue-green algae that was kneeling on the ground with his foot.

Cyanobacteria was excited, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "My lord, please be merciful and give our brothers a chance to confess their sins and redress and repay the great grace of saving lives." Please bear with you, who have a large number of you, and reluctantly accept our two lowly slaves, and from now on, let your lords drive you!"

Huang Zao didn't speak, just kept kowtowing.

The gesture of the two brothers so hard made the others moved.

"Your Excellency. Zidi looked at the needle, a subordinate who waited for the latter's decision.

Everyone looked at the needle.

The old scholar Cangsu bowed his head and lowered his gaze to the ground.

Seeing the bloodstained faces of the two brothers, Needle Gold slowly spoke expressionlessly: "Saving the dead and helping the weak, this is my Templar creed. That's why I came to your rescue in the Spider Forest. ”

"Don't overestimate people, and don't underestimate people. This sentence is the family motto of my Hundred Needles family. So, xanthophyllum and cyanobacteria, I would like to give you both a chance, and I hope that you will change my opinion of you with loyalty and practical action. ”

"Thank you, thank you, sir!"

The people around them breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at the yellow algae and cyanobacteria again, many people couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

Although the two brothers sold themselves into slavery and lost their freedom, they may be prosperous in the future by relying on a big man like Needle Gold.

Cangsu bowed down again and said, "Lord Needle Gold, your magnanimity is like the earth, and your kindness is comparable to the sun. Praise you, you will be our banner, and under your leadership, we and other lowly people can move forward right. ”

Needle Gold looked at the people around him, his body was as straight as a gun, and his flat voice was clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.

"The splendor of the temple envelops every inch of land. The banner of the Empire protects every citizen of the Empire. Follow me, and I will lead you out of here alive. ”

"Yes, sir!" everyone responded in unison, and they all fell to their knees.
