Chapter 46: Explanation and Persuasion
Now that it had been discovered, there was no need to hide it, so Leo, under the surprised gaze of Catherine and Jason, lit all the wall lamps that had been extinguished before, handed them to everyone one by one, and then lifted the vines that covered the entrance of the cave and jumped down from the hole.
Seeing Leo himself exposed, although Catherine and Jason didn't understand the reason, they still walked to the entrance of the cave and fell to the ground with the help of Nelson below.
At this time, the psionic wave had dissipated, but the energy in the surrounding space had not returned to normal, and Leo's spiritual network could not be fully opened as before, so he could only withdraw from his body and adjust the spiritual vision skill to a pre-activated state.
In this pitch-black environment, Leo, who has the only light source, naturally becomes the object of attention.
I saw that he walked between Sean and the red-robed man, and said in a relaxed tone: "You two, since you have fought and killed, should we stop and talk calmly?"
Sean, who had just escaped death, had weak legs, and before Leo could speak, he couldn't stand on his feet, and sat on the ground, panting heavily, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.
It was the first time to face death so closely, no matter how much Sean had extraordinary wisdom, it was impossible for him to be calm and see death as home.
Although Sean was calming down the fluctuations in his heart, he still noticed Leo, and easily recognized the identity of this person by the light of the fire.
If it was before, Sean would not have paid attention to Leo at all, a low-level little person, cannon fodder on the battlefield, but when what happened in Rabbitskin Town was gathered into intelligence and fell into his hands through special channels, he began to pay attention to Leo as a person.
After all, not everyone can calm the old hunter Boer with just one axe throw in an environment like Rabbitskin Town, so that even if the old hunter's strength expands the next day, he will not dare to send someone to chase and kill.
Not long ago, when he learned from Martin that Nelson and his party had come to Cage City, he also thought of using each other's Inge identities to pull him into his team, after all, there are not too many powerful fighters like this, but it's a pity that he has too many concerns and has not carried it out.
Although he didn't know which side Leo was on, judging from the current situation, he seemed to be more advantageous, after all, four of the people who were still alive were Inge.
On the other side, all the arrows on the red-robed man's body bounced out of his body under the action of the psionic wave.
If someone has night vision at this time, they can see through the gap between the red robed man's torn clothes that not a drop of blood is flowing from his wound, and there are some sarcomas that look like small insects near the wound that are constantly splitting and fused, and the wound is completely healed in a short time.
What happened just now was also a lingering concern for the red-robed man, although he seemed to have eliminated more than thirty enemies unscathed at the moment, which was a great victory, but in fact, he could be described as a line between life and death just now.
He didn't expect the other party to suddenly kill him, and it was so violent, if he hadn't fused the second alien god cell that he had just fused not long ago and obtained his current body, he might have died under the random arrows.
Now he seems to have the upper hand, but the wave of divine power just now has consumed most of the divine power he has accumulated during this time, and it may be difficult to want him to come again, and he doesn't know if the mysterious item that protects Sean can still have an effect, so it is also a good thing for him that someone has come forward to calm the incident now.
At this time, Catherine, who jumped from the cave in the mountain wall, quickly ran to the side of the red-robed man, wanting to pull away the red-robed man's clothes to see the injuries on his body, but was avoided by the red-robed man taking a step back, and said to her: "Kena, I'm fine." ”
Catherine still looked concerned, and said urgently: "How can it be okay? I see that you have been hit by so many ......."
"Sometimes, what you see isn't real. The red-robed man casually spoke perfunctorily, then asked in a slightly annoyed tone, "Kena, why are you here? Do you know that if I hadn't shifted the direction of the divine power impact just now, you might have died by now." ”
"It's better to be dead, than to be kept in the dark by you. Catherine was not afraid of the other party's might at all, and asked head-to-head: "Denis, High Priest of Denis, I ask you as one of the founders of the Aknaya Sect, is the Church doing the things in the Gray Squirrel District?"
"Grey Squirrel District?" High Priest Denis was stunned for a moment, and asked in a confirmed manner, "Are you talking about the children of workers in the Grey Squirrel District who were gouged out of their hearts?"
"Yes. Catherine nodded.
"It wasn't done by the church, it was solved by the church, Major knew about it, Eric was injured because of it, and in the end Martin was in charge of closing it up. High Priest Denis defended himself, and then pointed to Sean, who was getting up from the ground opposite, and said, "If you don't believe him, you can ask him, and he is also involved." As he spoke, his cold gaze shot out from under the hood and landed on Sean, saying, "You're so lucky, you can accompany Martin to clean up the mess, and you can also find a mysterious item that will help you save your life, but I don't know if I can protect you again next time." ”
"Don't worry, I've always had good luck. Sean also replied without showing weakness, but while he was stubborn, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, because he felt that the necklace pendant around his neck seemed to have lost the magical power just now.
"Who did that evil thing?" Catherine asked, though slightly relieved that she was not a friend in that case, but she was still angry at the person who had done that evil and cruel thing.
High Priest Denis had no intention of involving Catherine in these mysterious world affairs, so he said vaguely: "You don't need to know, that man has been driven away, and it is impossible for him to come back." ”
"What? are you crazy?" Catherine's voice immediately raised a few times, and even Nelson, who couldn't see her face because of the darkness, was able to draw in her mind the look of disbelief and anger that she was now looking at.
High Priest Denis did not respond, and did not seem prepared to answer any of Catherine's inquiries on the subject.
On the contrary, Sean on the side had a kind of interest in fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and took the initiative to reveal some details, and said: "Miss Catherine, in fact, you are wrong to blame High Priest Denis, although I don't like this one, and I wish this one died immediately, but I have to admit that he handled that matter beautifully." If you deal with it the way you think now, I don't think just a few children will die in the Gray Squirrel District, maybe the entire Gray Squirrel District or even half of the Cage City will be affected. ”
"You're a participant, so what do you know?" Catherine saw that she couldn't get anything out of the mouth of High Priest Denis, so she set her sights on Sean.
However, before Sean could speak, High Priest Denis said in an extremely cold tone: "Your Excellency Sean, if you don't shut up, I will fight for the collapse of the alien god cells, and I will also shut you up, so that you will never be able to leave this underground city." ”
"Okay! Sean also knew that the matter could not be over, so he spread his hands towards Catherine, and said tactfully, "Miss Catherine, you are not qualified to know such a thing now, it is better not to ask, otherwise it will not be worth it to cause trouble for you and the people around you." ”
Seeing that she could no longer extract useful words from Sean's mouth, Catherine did not continue to ask, but asked another question that was more concerning to her, and said, "I have one more question for you, Deni! Little Jack, are they dead? Or are they monsters?"
Catherine's words fell, and High Priest Denis did not answer, but fell silent, but although he did not give any answer, he undoubtedly marked the answer.
Although she had known this possibility from Leo's speculation before, and she had been prepared for a long time, she got this thing that had been hidden for more than ten years from the friend of the person concerned, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.
After that, she didn't ask anything more, walked to the side, sat on the ground, and Nelson, who didn't know the situation, instinctively stepped forward when he saw this situation, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say or do, so he could only sit quietly next to her.
High Priest Denis looked at Catherine in a daze with some sadness, then turned his gaze to Sean, and became extremely cold, and said: "Sean, you go! I will not hold you accountable for trespassing on our ancestral land, nor will I hold my children accountable for ......their deaths."
"Wait a minute!" Sean interrupted High Priest Denis and said, "High Priest Denis, you seem to have misjudged the situation, what I am going to do is only good for you, not harmful, if I leave like this, you will be in big trouble." ”
"Hmph!" High Priest Denis snorted disdainfully, obviously not believing Sean's alarmist words.
"The news that the White Rose's Poseidon Scepter is here, I am not the only one who knows, but the Inge royal family also knows," Sean pointed to the corpses around him and said: "These people are all sent by the royal family to recover the scepter, this time I failed and did not take back the scepter, so the next time it will be more than just such a few people." Even the royal family of England will tell you directly about you, how do you think the French Empire will treat you when the time comes? Do you really think that with your church guards, which are not even equipped with weapons, you will be able to withstand the army of the French Empire? Or will the Acunaya sect, which you have borrowed as a skin, stand up for you hypocrites?"
"What exactly do you want?" said High Priest Denis, almost gritting his teeth.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Sean raised his hands and made a harmless gesture, smiling and quisbling, "I just want to help you take away a big trouble, not to mention that the reason why this big trouble is here is entirely because your ancestors did a very unrighteous thing, and taking it away now is just to draw an end to this unrighteous thing." With that, he walked up to the High Priest of Denis and said, "What's more, aren't you curious about how your ancestors created that kind of divine power warrior back then? ”
At Sean's instigation, High Priest Denis was already tempted.
Years of research made him still ignorant of the ancestral Divine Power Warriors, and in the end, he could only obtain some methods from other sources to create some defective products, and now that he has the opportunity to get in close contact with the mysteries of the Divine Power Warriors, it is difficult for him not to be impressed, but he still has some concerns, so he is still hesitant.
As a competent lobbyist, Sean knows when to try to persuade and break the opponent's defenses, and when to retreat so that the opponent is not repulsed. As far as he was concerned, there was no need to say anything more now, just wait for High Priest Denis to figure it out for himself.
When he saw that his subordinates were all wiped out, Sean originally thought that the plan had failed and he might die here, but now that there was a turnaround, Sean was naturally in a good mood, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.
It's just that when he turned his head and saw Leo looking at him with a smile, the smile on his face instantly froze.
"Damn, how did you forget him?" said Sean, reproaching himself.
The habit of the past made him always involuntarily ignore Leo, a little person at the bottom of society, even if this little person is now the strongest among these people, he still subconsciously put it aside, as a secondary task, and chose to convince High Priest Denis first.
However, now that he looked back and put Leo back into his field of vision, he felt that the person in front of him was a pawn outside the chessboard, and he couldn't control it.
"Mr. Sean Conrad, I give you the opportunity to convince me that you will take my comrade-in-arms, Mr. Nelson, and bleed him for what sacrifice. Leo clasped his hands on his chest, looking like he was waiting for you to speak, and said, "Don't worry, we have time, and there is still a long time before tomorrow's train." ”
"I think Mr. Dodd, you may have misunderstood! Cousin Nelson just bleeds a little, and it doesn't cause any damage to his life, in fact, hasn't the medical school been advocating phlebotomy recently? Releasing a little blood is also good for the body. Sean made his smile as relaxed as possible, but his smile was even more eerie in the light of the faint sconce.
Leo smiled, turned to Nelson, and asked, "Doctor, what do you think your relatives thought that the blood was released for your own good?"
"I love this cousin enough for me to drain his blood. Nelson also tacitly cooperated with Leo, and said with a smile: "And I'm willing to do it myself." Cousin Sean, you can rest assured that I have always been a top student in surgery in medical school, and I will definitely not let you suffer any pain in bloodletting. ”
