Chapter 1132: Dawn
No matter how far things go in the end, Shangguan Xiaoyao can only hope that the two of them, Raff and Kevin, can hold on to the end. Even if they knew that this was just a memory illusion, and these things had already happened or encountered after the master of Tuo Guangzhao entered that world.
Even if Shangguan Xiaoyao intervened to help them in this memory illusion, none of this is true, and it can't be changed at all, long ago I don't know how long, these things have already happened.
The most important thing at the moment is to let yourself pass the test, speaking of the test, Shangguan Xiaoyao couldn't help frowning, when he experienced these events in the phantom realm before, there would be some hints from the master of Tuo Guangzhao, but now during this period of time, it has not appeared again.
Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't know if it was because he didn't follow the plot, or if there was any other reason.
Although there is no hint, Shangguan Xiaoyao still has to continue, and he is very much looking forward to what will happen next in Aika City, after all, this can be said to be a small incident that he has changed with his own hands.
Regarding the behavior of Raff and Kevin in front of him, who continued to fight over the issue of whether to drink or not, Shangguan Xiaoyao hurriedly stopped them, otherwise it would be really endless to let the two of them continue like this.
"Alright, you two go to the tavern keeper Fell and get a few more bottles of wine, sit here and drink slowly and keep waiting, it won't be too long. Shangguan Xiaoyao finally put a final word on the drinking issue they were arguing about.
Raff and Kevin followed the counter that Shangguan Xiaoyao was pointing to, that is, the counter where Boss Fair was still there. Then he quickly got up and went over to ask for wine.
"By the way, remember to ask Boss Fair to keep the wine account, and we will settle it together tomorrow. Shangguan Xiaoyao added another sentence temporarily.
"Got it, my friend, thank you. Kevin followed Raff, his thin body in stark contrast to Raff.
Instead of caring about Raff and Kevin, Shangguan Xiaoyao began to think about what would happen to the city lord of Aika City after he was killed, and it was always not wrong to make several assumptions in advance, and then make some preparations in advance.
For Shangguan Xiaoyao, none of the people who exist in the memory illusion are real people, and if they are killed, they will be killed, as long as their goals can be achieved. Of course, the one in the first illusion doesn't count.
The biggest possibility is that after the people in the city lord's mansion find out that the city lord of Aika City has been assassinated, once the news is known to those who are secretly hidden and have bad intentions in Aika City, the entire Aika City will definitely be in chaos at the first time, and after the rebels and the imperial army react, they will definitely choose to send troops to march to Aika City, in order to enter Aika City and take this neutral city.
At that time, Raff and Kevin's mission will basically not be done, because once the rebel and imperial armies are deployed, the first thing to mess up will definitely be the interior of Aika City. Now in the entire city of Ekka, I don't know how many spies belonging to the Resistance and the Imperial Army are lurking in.
Even if Aika City doesn't mess up, these people will try to mess it up. It can be said that from the moment the news of the assassination of the lord of Aika City spreads, the entire Aika City will become a battleground for the ownerless, and neither the rebels nor the Imperial Army will miss the opportunity to take Aika City into their own hands in one fell swoop.
Just like the previous Gem City, once the conflict escalates, only one of the rebels and the Imperial army can become the new owner of Aika City, as for some other unknown forces, they have no chance at all, and at the same time, they do not have the ability to wrestle with the rebels and the imperial army.
In the entire Teide Continent, at present, except for the two strongest forces, the Resistance Army and the Imperial Army, there are almost no other forces that can be said to be strong.
It's not that they haven't had the idea of fighting Aika City before, but as long as the city lord of Aika City is still here, this matter will not be possible. As for the assassination of the city lord of a neutral city, it is a bit unrealistic, because the main high-level combat power between the rebel army and the imperial army is involved and limited, and the Ted continent is so big, and the stalls of the rebel army and the imperial army are not small, and it is not so easy to estimate the comprehensive.
That's why those neutral cities will live so nourishingly, but it's a pity that this time the city lord of Aika City met Shangguan Yao, who didn't play cards according to common sense, and was not a rebel army or an imperial army. Doing everything to achieve their own ends.
Eka City is a very important point, the Imperial Army and the Resistance Army were able to let it go on the loose for a while, and when they have their hands free, they will definitely deal with these neutral cities, but only when the most opportune time comes.
But now, before the time comes, there are already people who have done what they have always wanted to do but have not done, and when the rebels and the Imperial army know the news, they will immediately suspect that the other party is responsible, because they do not have this plan yet.
I'm afraid that the Imperial Army will have to think a little more, because their side has just sent the list to the hands of the city lord of Aika City, but they didn't expect to wait for the news that the city lord of Aika City was assassinated.
But in any case, in the eyes of people other than the rebels and the Imperial army, the assassination of the city lord of Aika City was done by the rebels or the Imperial army, and basically no one believed it at that time, except for themselves.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiaoyao felt that the changes he had made were not small, and to a large extent, they disrupted the plans of I don't know how many people.
After seeing that Raff and Kevin had already brought the wine and put it in front of him, Shangguan Xiaoyao did not choose to take it, because for the next short period of time, it was basically the last calm before the storm, before the news of the city lord of Aika City spread.
In fact, except for Shangguan Xiaoyao's Aika City, where they are located, in other neutral cities, the rebel fighters who had received the mission before had already begun to act.
While protecting the members of the rebels on the list, he also searched for strongholds belonging to the Imperial Army in the city and secretly eliminated them. No one had ever thought of assassinating the lord of the neutral city where he was located. Maybe it's because of the lack of strength, the lack of orders from superiors, and so on.
So far, only Shangguan Xiaoyao has used this strength and bold ideas to put it into action.
It's not that the city lord of Aika City is weak, or that the power of the city lord's mansion is weak, but Shangguan Xiaoyao no longer wants to be like before, and he still carries out assassination with such strong strength, which no one would have thought.
Although it was Raff who made the last move, there was nothing wrong with saying that the city lord of Aika died because of Shangguan's escape. I'm afraid that even Ivan Ivan, the leader of the rebels, may not be able to connect with Shangguan Xiaoyao through the assassination of the city lord of Aika City when he first learned the news.
Although he knew that Shangguan Xiaoyao, a person whose strength was on par with himself, would follow Raff and Kevin, according to his thoughts, Shangguan Xiaoyao should have watched Raff and Kevin complete the task and chose to stand by and watch.
"My friend, I thought about it for a moment and suddenly found that things had suddenly gone bad. Raff did not forget to take a sip of his own wine as he spoke.
"I say, Raff, do you know now?" said Kevin with a look of disdain, "Wasn't it refreshing when you did it before?"
Shangguan Xiaoyao retracted his gaze that had been staring at the door of the tavern, then glanced at the two of them, and then said very calmly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the matter is not too bad to be irreparable." ”
Shangguan Xiaoyao, who hoped that things would get worse, would certainly not say that his purpose was to create chaos, to make the rebels chaotic, and to let the imperial army also mess up.
Although Raff and Kevin have been following Shangguan Xiaoyao and not far away, they have been kept in the dark by Shangguan Xiaoyao, and they don't even know that they have become 'accomplices', and they are still enjoying it before.
Now the two of them finally reacted, but there was no other way but to sit next to Shangguan Xiaoyao and choose to drink, waiting for the final development of things.
"Yes, no matter how bad things are, they can't be any worse, and it's not something that people of our strength worry about. Raff threw up his head and took a sip of his wine. Kevin was a little stunned next to him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shangguan Xiaoyao saw that Raff and Kevin's mood was not very high, and it seemed that they were already showing signs of using alcohol to kill their sorrows. I didn't take this opportunity to preach to them, because that would have been a wasted effort in the end.
It can only be hoped that they can understand it themselves, or they will be forcibly reversed by the memory illusion, and continue to maintain the same appearance of missing roots and strings.
Looking inside the tavern, there are fewer and fewer people, after all, so much time has passed, and after a while, I'm afraid the sky will be dawning.
When some tavern guests opened the door and walked out, Shangguan Xiaoyao also found that it was already snowing outside, but it must have fallen after they returned to the tavern, but they didn't know how long it would continue to fall.
Some of the guests who came to the tavern to drink made the same choice as Shangguan Xiaoyao, that is, not to leave in the tavern. What's more, he fell asleep directly on the counter in front of him, it seems that he should have a certain amount of cultivation strength, otherwise he would be sick if he slept in this weather with the physique of an ordinary person, even if it was in a tavern.
The only fireplace in the tavern was already burning, and the tavernkeeper Phil occasionally added some ingredients himself. Even so, the entire tavern was plunged into a kind of cold air after the snow. Except for those who have the strength to cultivate, they can resist this kind of great power from heaven and earth, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it.
"My friend, it's snowing outside. Raff still had the bottle in his hand, and as the departing tavern guests pushed open the door and left, Raff saw the snow outside the door. Although it was late at night and the sky had not yet dawned, the whiteness that belonged to the heavy snow was particularly eye-catching in the night.
Kevin saw the same, but after opening his mouth, he didn't say anything. Among the three, he himself is the weakest one in cultivation, although during this time, in terms of divine consciousness power, it has increased rapidly, but the physical strength is as weak as ever, if there is a real battle, it is easy to be targeted, because the enemy will not care about the others.
Shangguan and the three of them waited for the outbreak of events in the tavern of Aika City, and the other neutral cities were also bustling, and now the list matter had become a thing of the past.
The Imperial Army is certainly not vegetarian when the Rebels secretly uproot and eliminate the Imperial Army's strongholds in neutral cities, considering that the Imperial Army has been in existence for many years before the Rebels appeared.
After discovering that someone was secretly destroying their stronghold, the Imperial Army could not bear it, and also sent men to fight back. Of course, all of this is done in secret, because not all the city lords of neutral cities are blind, so most of their actions are still carried out in secret.
Shangguan Xiaoyao and the three of them had no idea that among the other neutral cities, the rebel army and the imperial army were fighting fiercely before, and only Aika City was calm on the surface.
But it won't be long before it will be lively, and even more lively than other neutral cities. Not just in the dark, but even the whole city will be in turmoil.
At this point, Shangguan Xiaoyao is still very sure, after all, this matter was planned by himself, if there is no effect, the previous ones will really be in vain.
finally caught it in the daytime, Shangguan Xiaoyao was still sitting in the same position, looking like he hadn't moved much.
Raff, on the other hand, fell asleep on the table with a wine bottle in his arms, and although it was still snowing outside the tavern, Ralph's physical strength was not affected too much. There are only Shangguan Xiaoyao and Kevin who are awake, but Shangguan Xiaoyao doesn't look like he has changed at all, but Kevin looks like he was almost the same as the haggard appearance he had when they first met before.
The tavern owner Fell, after greeting Shangguan Xiaoyao and them in the middle of the night, went back to rest, although the tavern was always open, but people always had to rest.
There are not many people still in the tavern, plus Shangguan Xiaoyao and the three of them are seven or eight people, and except for Shangguan Xiaoyao and Kevin, the others are all lying on the table and falling asleep, and they don't need to look, all of them have the strength to cultivate.
Otherwise, the tavern owner Fair would never let a person who has not cultivated sleep in his tavern, there is still goose feather snow outside, in case someone dies in his tavern, how to open a tavern in the future, how to make money, after so many years, he has a lot of experience in this area.
