Chapter 31: The Curse
Stunned, I was also a little stunned by my shamelessness, Ma Shen patted the wizard's pale cheek, and was about to get up, only to notice that something was wrong with his appearance.
So he hurriedly squatted back again, stretched out his hand to probe the wizard's neck, the pulse beat faster and slower, and the breath of life was also fading sharply.
Motioning for the Unsullied One who was pressing on the wizard to leave, Ma Shen quickly checked the wizard's body, and there were no wounds on his body, only the little finger of his right hand was shortened, which should have been injured a long time ago, and had nothing to do with it now.
In addition, the possibility of suicide by poisoning can also be ruled out, there is no blood foaming in the mouth, and the body's instinctive reaction is not poisoned.
At this moment, the wizard's whole body was just stiff, motionless and maintaining a posture, and even his mouth remained the same, stiff and wide open, without any change from before.
According to his appearance, it doesn't seem that he was frightened by his own words, but I am afraid that he was frightened by other things, which can't help but make people feel creepy.
Damn, I can't let him die, this ugly wizard knows how to know very much, and it is of great help to him to understand the mysterious power of this world, Ma Shen didn't think too much, mobilized the power of nature, and then put his hand on the male witch, and entered all the few natural forces in his body.
As if sensing the force of nature, the wizard's pulse beat rapidly a few times, but for some reason, the pulse began to weaken rapidly until it disappeared.
After a while, Ma Shen silently took his hand away from the wizard, the wizard who had promised to rule the world before, and the next moment he didn't know what was killed, it was really ironic.
What is it that can kill people around him, and he can make himself not aware at all, Ma Shen didn't feel anything unusual before, there was no murderous aura, no sense of crisis, no movement, nothing.
At this moment, Ma Shen, who was pondering, suddenly noticed a detail that had been omitted before, a symbol that looked like a tattoo was engraved on the witch's wrist.
This rune, as if it had been seen somewhere, inexplicably felt very familiar, Ma Shen put his hand on his chin, thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of the evil spirit and female corpse that appeared in the hotel near Harrenhal, this rune was exactly the same shape as the strange character found in that cell.
Hell, Meereen and Harrenhal are half a world apart, how can there be exactly the same characters.
"It's kind of like a curse. ”
A male voice suddenly came, and Ma Shen immediately looked up when he heard this, only to find that it was a Peerless Man standing not far away, wearing a helmet.
"What do you know?" said Marchim, a frown, curses were no stranger to him, Harrenhal, for example, was known as the cursed castle.
"I don't know, sir. The Unsullied shook his head, "It just looks like the man I once met in the village, when I was not captured by the slave owners, and there were often inexplicable people in the village who died, and people fell to the ground while walking, and never got up again, and the old people in the village called it a curse." ”
"To escape the curse, our whole village tried to leave our hometown by boat, but on the way we ran into a fleet of slave owners. ”
Listening to the words of the Unsullied, Ma Shen was a little thoughtful: "Then do you remember where your hometown is?"
"I can't remember. The Unsullied One who spoke shook his head slowly.
Hearing this, Ma Shen was slightly silent: "Protect this place, including the corpse and the magic circle on the ground, and remember not to let anyone enter." ”
After finishing the command, he pointed to the Unsullied One who spoke: "You lead the team." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency"
There was still a large group of great lord's captives waiting to be solved by themselves, and the matter here would be dealt with after the situation in the city was settled, Ma Shen walked through the huge floor with heavy steps, and came to the large pyramid conference hall on the next floor.
At this time, all the great masters who stayed in the Great Golden Tower were controlled by the Unsullied, and the Unsullied ones did not give them face, one by one, they all raised their hands high, and their faces knelt on the ground like ashes, and even a few of them had black footprints reflected on their faces, I don't know who kicked them, and they looked a bit like the shoes of the Unsullied.
Ahem. Anyway, there are nearly twenty great lords here, which should be equivalent to more than half of the great lords of Meereen, Ma Shen thought as he walked up to the kneeling great lords and stomped his feet vigorously: "You should be the great lords of Meereen, I have heard of your reputation for a long time." ”
"You, you're Lord Ma Shen!"
"You are the great and merciful ruler of Astapor!"
For the unsullied, the great lords have unspeakable suffering, Xiucai met the soldiers, and the reason is unclear, so seeing Ma Shen is like seeing a savior, the great lords are all excited, and even more began to hurriedly announce their oath of allegiance.
As a result, after a while, these great lords, who wanted to stand up and pat their ass, were held against them with spears by the unsullied ones who were overseeing them, and obediently crouched back.
The great lords are essentially businessmen, and they really have no discipline at all, and I don't know if they will smile after they understand my purpose.
"Alright. When the great lords quieted down, Ma Shen waved his hand with a smile, "As far as I know, the slaves who are rioting outside now want to tear each of you to pieces, do you mind?"
Mind it, of course mind, the great lord who was kneeling on the ground sneered a few times.
It's a pity that there are too many people, and there are always one or two brain-dead people who can't see the situation clearly, such as this one now.
Thinking that the ruler of Astapor was worried about the slaves who could not control the rebellion in Meereen, there was a young great lord with a footprint on his face, like a golden rooster independent, and stood up with his head held high: "My lord, I am the patriarch of the Lorak family, those lowly slaves dare to harm the noble great lord, I am willing to assist the lord to suppress those rioting slaves." ”
"Oh, so you think. Ma Shen nodded appreciatively, and then smiled and walked over to the great lord who spoke.
The rest of the people standing next to the young lord couldn't help but lean to the side, you idiot, could it be that your brain has been smashed by the Unsullied, and you can't pat yourself on the back, don't you know that this lord started by relying on the support of his slaves.
"Of course, my lord, those lowly slaves ... Hum... ”
The young great lord was halfway through his words and was ruthlessly kicked to the ground by Ma Shen: "I'm sorry, from now on, there will be no distinction between a great master and a slave in Meereen City." ”
"Take him down, hand him over to the slaves, and let him feel the wrath of the slaves. ”
"Great. My lord, spare my life, my lord!"
The great masters who remained in the hall were suddenly silent.
Ma Shen looked around at the remaining great lords in a gloomy manner: "From the rest of you, I still need some great masters with great sins to come forward and remove the anger in the hearts of the slaves." ”
Risking our lives to quench the wrath of the slaves, the great lords trembled and bowed their heads.
After glancing around, I saw that each great lord was silently bowing his head and squatting on the ground.
"If no one voluntarily comes forward, then I will pump someone. Ma Shen said as he came to a middle-aged man with a frightened face, "It's just you." ”
"No, no!" The middle-aged lord sat on the ground with his legs weak, and sat on the ground with his ass, "My lord, I usually rarely abuse slaves, and Lord Zack is the ** who likes to eat slave girls the most." ”
"What a perverted hobby. Ma Shen said with emotion, "Take our Lord Zack down." ”
"You're a liar!" one of the great lords, dressed in a short wolver, roared to his feet, "My lord, he is lying!
But as if he didn't hear the roar of Lord Zack, Ma Shen let the innocent drag Lord Zack downstairs, the world was as black as a crow, and the great lords in the field had clean butts, and their seats were all climbed up by stepping on the bones of slaves.
Now Ma Shen just needs some great masters to come out and attract firepower.
These great lords are scum in terms of fighting, but they are not weaker than anyone in terms of conspiracy and trickery, such as the son of the harpy banshee composed of the remaining nobles in Meereen in the plot, which made the dragon mother very uneasy.
So this time, we have to win over a small group of people and hit a large number of people.
Until Lord Zack's voice could no longer be heard clearly, Ma Shen turned his head and said to Lord Yahzanwei, who had escaped death: "It is up to you to imprison and search for the members of the Zack family." ”
"This... Lord Yahzan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Why, don't you want to?"
Taken aback, Lord Yahzan nodded repeatedly: "I do, I do." ”
For the sake of their own lives, I believe that the great lord who submits to him will definitely exert all his ability, just to cut down the enemy to the roots, because the hatred of those great lords who hunt them down is definitely not less than the hatred of themselves, and then let them go dog eat dog.
