Led by two councillors who had joined the 'Brotherhood' and were under the complete control of the emblem, Doug met the leaders of the current House of Parliamentarians, the so-called 'Crisis Response Committee', made up of the Secretary General of the House and three Deputy Speakers, in a cramped and dark secret room in the depths of the castle that had been used as a storage room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The well-informed councillors began to flee from the city after the arrival of Gastis, and when the 'Lord of Souls' Fahalu annihilated Xi'an, they scattered like voles in the moments before the flood, and after Sopmandis went to 'Cantinho', they also regrouped in this new capital one after another, because of the loss of the former Speaker' The strong suppression of the fat jackal 'Sivor Cabech, the internal contradictions of the parliament burst out at once, and it was divided into several small groups, until they were all under house arrest in this castle by Sopmandis, and the pressure of the catastrophe brought them together again, but the various groups that had been formed did not want to be subordinates of others, so they elected their own advocates for their interests and formed this 'committee' temporarily.

One can imagine what kind of efficiency such an institution can have. During the reign of Sivor Cabech, the 'Fat Jackal' led the Council very strongly, and had several battles with the Emperor, and now this 'Crisis Response Committee' is a complete useless façade, from its inception to the present day, no useful decisions have been made except for each other's quarrels, and even every so-called negotiation with Sophomandis has come to an abrupt end with the guards at the gates of the castle - it is clear that the leaders of these committees are typical of their verbal skills far exceeding their ability to act.

In other words, it's all waste.

Doug sneered in his heart, but his face remained skewed, and his gaze swept over the faces of several committee leaders in turn. In the middle is the original secretary general Loha, and the three upright parliamentarians sitting next to him are the original deputy speakers, namely Iriel, Yin Dusi and Asila, except for Yin Dusi is a fat man with a big belly, the other people are as thin as dried corpses, and they are still under house arrest but still have white powder on their faces, wigs covering their foreheads, and supporting the posture of the so-called 'superior people'.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Chardo and the 'Brotherhood' for their selfless help to us. ”

Secretary-General Loha was the first to speak, and as soon as he spoke, the white powder on his face fell down, but he still felt good about himself and looked at Doug with condescending eyes: "It is very beneficial for us to have loyal citizens like you on the side of Parliament in our struggle against the tyranny of the dictator, and when the government of the country returns to normal, I will surely proclaim the contribution of your organization in front of all the councillors, and hang the medal of freedom on your chest with my own hands." ”

"Thank you very much. ”

Doug nodded insincerely, "But let's wait until later, Mr. Secretary-General...... I have come this time to shoulder the important task entrusted to me by the Organization, and I ask you to gather all the distinguished councillors and gentlemen as soon as possible and leave this prison secretly with me. ”

"What!"

"All the councillors leaving together?"

"Just kidding......"

A large number of whispers erupted in the room at once, and the councilors present exchanged heads one after another, looking surprised, shaking their heads in obvious disbelief, showing disdain, etc., and all kinds of gestures appeared one after another.

"Mr. Chardo, I think your plan is overly optimistic. ”

Loha maintained his basic politeness, did not make any rude expressions, and just frowned: " I have to remind you that although you yourself can come and go freely in this castle, the gentlemen who work in the House are noble and superior people who need to review many documents every day, and it is impossible to train every day like you warriors, and the guards outside are all the elite troops of His Majesty the Emperor, so unless you can take an equally elite army to storm this prison, it is impossible to leave with all the councillors. ”

"Of course, I know that Mr. Councillors are not good at 'out-of-office' activities,"

Doug sneered lightly, but his expression remained the same: "We have our own arrangements in this regard, and we will definitely ensure that the councilors leave safely." ”

"It's so irresponsible for you to say that!"

Before Secretary-General Loha could speak, Yin Dusi, one of the deputy speakers, suddenly stood up with an almost circular belly, and his carrot-like fingers almost poked in front of Doug's nose, with a look of righteous indignation, "All the parliamentarians are the high-level of the empire, and they are the soul that maintains the normal operation of this country, if something goes wrong, can you afford this heavy loss!"

Then, as if to make up for the regret of not being able to address the council for a long time, he began to repeat his point over and over again in various rhetorical devices, while several other deputy speakers were like clumsy street performers, pandering to agree with him from time to time, so that after just two minutes, Doug, who was so annoyed that the corners of his eyes twitched, were already very eager to pull out his dagger and bleed them one by one to see the color.

“...... Therefore, in order to be responsible for the safety of the councillors, I cannot so rashly believe that you are who you are, Mr. Chardo, and there is no evidence that you were able to do what you claimed, Mr. Chardo, to 'bring all the councillors out of this castle', and to summon all councillors for such an obviously absurd reason is dangerous and irresponsible, and if we alarm the guards, we will face even harsher treatment and even personal harm as a result...... You must know that some councillors have been severely beaten by the guards for planning an escape!"

This Yin Dusi didn't know if he had eaten the wrong thing during the meal, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and he even began to doubt Doug's identity and his motives, and finally made a tearful testimonial, in short, he refused to trust and cooperate with Doug, even if there were two councillors on the scene to corroborate him.

"There are dozens of councillors who have passed on secret letters through our organization, and if necessary, I can name the 'tokens' that any of them have paid for this, and I wonder if such evidence can convince this gentleman of the committee of my identity?"

Doug looked at Yin Dusi, who was fat as if he was about to explode, and said humble words in his mouth, but there was coldness in his eyes. Now it is entirely supported by the idea that these councillors will still be useful in the future, and they must continue to be used as a cover, so that Doug can control himself to continue to carry the dagger in his sleeve and talk nonsense with them - as for the god of conservation in front of him, who is close to the limit of patience, he is already thinking about what kind of death to give him.

"This kind of thing that can be made up casually, Your Excellency, don't say it to make people laugh!"

Unexpectedly, Deputy Speaker Yoon Dusi rejected Doug again with surprising firmness, not even wanting to give Doug a chance to show evidence at all, so that even the other councillors who had previously cooperated with him in tacit cooperation began to be surprised at this moment - if the previous conversation could be said to be an instinctive habit of being a councilor, now his approach was pure trouble, but in this situation it was a matter of embarrassment to a powerful man who had bothered to infiltrate the house arrest to rescue them...... Is this Deputy Speaker Yoon Dusi really sure what he is doing?

“......”

Doug restrained the anger on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly an invisible pressure suddenly permeated the entire room, whether or not he entered Doug's field of vision, all the councillors felt a fear from instinct, their bodies trembled for no reason, and their chests seemed to be pinched by invisible hands. Every breath was extra laborious, and the heart beat wildly like a beast in a trap, and the heavy heartbeat shook the head like a giant drum in the ear, causing the weak councillors and gentlemen to be dazzled and tinnitus, and even a slight popping sound came from several older councillors, which was the sound of the various magic or magic talismans on their bodies bursting when they could not withstand the pressure of the true god at this time, and even made their faces stunned and almost fainted.

Doug didn't care about the performance of these people, all his attention was focused on Yin Dusi in front of him, and the invisible divine power fluctuations unfolded in the entire space, but he still laid out a row of invisible energy-absorbing attack structures first, and then he condensed his energy and carefully probed towards Yin Dusi in front of him- Doug has dealt with the councillors a lot of times, and he has a basic understanding of them, and among these gentlemen who can become councillors, there may be fools who have been cheated out of their family property by the most rudimentary street tricks because of greed, but there will never be a fool who deliberately disagrees with the rescuer or even implicitly hostile when he is in a cage, and the performance of this fat man in front of him is really a bit excessive, plucking the cautious string in the heart of the god of conservation, and starting to take it seriously.

And just a sweep of divine power, Doug noticed the strangeness of the person in front of him, although everything seemed normal on the surface, but as long as he observed for a little longer, he could notice that the movements of this fat Yin Dusi's body were slightly different from his shadow in the candlelight, as if the body was bound and forced to make concerted actions with the shadow, and the continuous struggle of the body caused some minor inconsistencies from time to time.

Doug had seen this trait in Linax and Fifian's 'literacy' course, from an ancient magic known as shadow manipulation, and as long as there was a shadow in the human being controlled by this magic, they could not escape the caster's control, and were completely manipulated like a puppet - but to be able to achieve such a vivid level as the subtle expression of the one in front of him, the caster behind it must have an extremely high level of magic, and certainly not too far away.

"Who the hell are you?"

Confirming that the Yin Dusi in front of him was just a puppet, Doug's eyes were no longer on his body, and while turning his head to look around, with a twist of his wrist, two dark daggers appeared in his hands, although it was not as full of the shock of death divine power as the reapers of Fahalu, but this pair of daggers called 'murder razors' by Fifian were also not ordinary, as long as it cut through the skin and saw blood, the target would instantly suffer from silence, blindness, paralysis, aging, A series of curses, such as illness, are also said to be copied from an artifact, but have been carefully modified by Linax so that problems like those of Faharu's Reaper will no longer occur, and Doug chose the daggers because he likes that their appearance is as bleak and inconspicuous as the former, and their essence is as insidious and deadly as the former.

Originally, Doug thought that the mage who used the shadow manipulation must be the kind of sinister guy who hid in the shadows throughout the battle, so his attention was always on his surroundings, but to his surprise, when he held the dagger in his hand, When he was shown in front of the councilors in a fighting posture, Yin Dusi in front of him suddenly trembled violently, and then several thin black lines suddenly stretched out from the shadow under his feet, just in a flash, the fat body of the deputy speaker was divided into several pieces, and in the blood splashed, his huge shadow remained strangely in place, and quickly squirmed and extended upwards as if it was alive, and soon turned into a humanoid silhouette of another body, the parts of his eyes suddenly opened, and the red pupils stared at Doug and his dagger.

"It's you!"

The shadow suddenly made a hoarse sound, and then from his eyes, the shadow that had originally shrouded the surface was quickly wiped away like a layer of black dye, and the thick darkness quickly turned from a virtual state into a substance, and finally, when the councillors, who were stunned by the bloody scene, finally came back to their senses and let out a piercing exclamation that could not help themselves, a strange black robe with a whole circle of intricate patterns embroidered with thin gray threads on the hem, a cold and rigid face, De Kopilivo, whose eyes were shining with rage, appeared in front of Doug.

"Really...... Trouble!"

Looking at the black-robed man in front of him, Doug tugged at the corners of his mouth, secretly clenched the dagger, and raised his vigilance to the extreme—he remembered very well that this De Kopiliwo was the one who had used the shadows to attack him.

The last time Doug used his conservation powers to easily trick him and another companion into sending Thorpmandis into the arms of death in front of them - although the damned 'Crimson Emperor' would soon return on his own - the situation was not without danger, and the magic combined by De Copirivo and his companion was extremely lethal and difficult to get rid of, and if Doug was not naturally cautious and could move freely in space by relying on his conservation powers, he would probably have broken into their hands.

"Damn fellow, don't try to run away this time!"

On the other side, Merrac stared at the enemy in front of him hatefully, manipulating the power of shadows to instantly use the shadows of everyone in the room to weave into a net, surrounding the opponent in the middle. Although Doug's face was completely different from the face he had used when he had been operating with the orcs in the Duchy of Havest, the way he held the dagger and the corresponding combat posture had their own characteristics, and to an experienced person like Merrak, who had undergone harsh and brutal training to earn the title, even the most subtle features were almost as obvious as playing a sign.

As one of the leaders of the secret lineage, Merrac is now furious. The person in front of him was an extremely rare guy in his long life who brought him great frustration and humiliation, playing acting like a circus clown in front of him and his partner Neuer, and then easily assassinating the emperor, causing him and his partner to lose face, Neuer was also stabbed in the heart, if it weren't for the 'sacrifice' blessing on his body, he would have lost one of his closest friends...... Therefore, Merrak, who had manipulated Yin Dusi to obtain information very early, immediately used Yin Dusi's flesh and blood to cross the space and appear in this closed room as soon as he found out that the person in front of him turned out to be the old opponent who had assassinated Thorpmandis.

Did this de Kopilevo recognize me?

Doug squinted his eyes at the black-robed man who was inexplicably gnashing his teeth at himself, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart. The other party's actions and words obviously confirmed his identity, but Doug didn't know how he was recognized, and couldn't help but be slightly irritated - these old guys are really difficult to deal with, and there are always some strange tricks that people can't guard against.

Now all the shadows in the whole room are deformed and entangled, like a huge spider web that extends close to the ground and the surface of various furniture, it is obvious that nothing good will happen once it is touched, and this power of mobilizing shadows does not have any energy leakage, and none of the energy-absorbing structures arranged by Doug have been triggered, they have become decorations.

Fortunately, he has now recovered a few traces of conservation divine power, and he can switch spaces at any time, but he is not afraid of being trapped, but he has just come up with a plan that feels very good to himself, and as soon as he implemented the first step, such a high-end existence as De Kopilivo appeared to make trouble, which made him feel very bad, and he really wanted to poke something with the dagger in his hand.

So the battle broke out suddenly in the next second, Doug carefully did not use the divine power, but rushed in front of Merrac with the power of his flesh alone, and the dim blade of the 'Razor of Murder' only made a faint sound of tearing air, as if it was made of mortal iron without a trace of momentum - as long as it pierced a little skin and touched the opponent's blood, even if only one of the negative curses that broke out in an instant, the battle situation would immediately change.

However, it's a pity that the reaper ability of Faharu he used before is too terrifying, although this dagger looks inconspicuous, Merrak is still very vigilant, it turns out that he is right, the dagger swept through the shadow he manipulated, and Merrak, who felt the energy contained in it through the shadow, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - such a vicious dagger, although it does not have the instant death effect of the previous one, it is still an extremely terrible weapon, and if you are stabbed, you will become a live target, and the situation will be overturned in an instant under the vicious circle!

"Shadow Bondage!"

Merrac no longer held on, the five fingers of his left hand suddenly tightened, and the web of shadows that clinged to the surface of the room suddenly rotated and began to shrink around Doug, and the members whose shadows were woven let out louder screams in unison, and some of the frail ones were already bleeding from their eyes in pain, and a large amount of dark red blood flowed from their nostrils, which looked very terrifying.

Thanks to the good preliminary work of Yin Dusi, Merrak has already arranged a lot of special shadow amplification devices in this secret room, so the seemingly rough shadow net is actually composed of countless thin shadow lines that can move freely, and can attack almost any angle, which is a complete killing weapon.

The shadow net came to Doug's body almost instantly, and continued to shrink without stopping, and Doug had no better choice at this time, but to use his divine power to travel through space, so as to avoid the shadow net.

"Neuer!"

Seeing Doug's figure disappear, Merrak was shocked, and while manipulating the shadow net to spread out again, he yelled without looking back.

In the next moment, he and Neuer's carefully researched new trick 'Soul Mill' was cast in this small space, as long as they could successfully blend the energy of shadow and light in an instant, the elements in the entire area of influence were forcibly fixed in place, and only light or shadow magic could be used, and all those who did not possess these two abilities would be firmly bound in place and allowed to be slaughtered.

The next moment, Merrak, who was thinking about how to kill Doug, suddenly felt that he couldn't open his eyes, and strange magical structures suddenly lit up in the space that was originally empty in his senses, and then, ten thousand times brighter than Neuer's magic, suddenly exploded in front of his eyes.
