In the wee hours of the morning, William entered my room like a ghost again, and he looked at the remaining blood on the floor and frowned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I told him about the murder that happened not long ago.

William asked for some details, then pondered for a moment and said, "You have to be careful of that Vicente. Although Mangner's attempt to murder a third-degree judge is an unforgivable crime, it can only be the jury or a superior who executes him, and he kills his colleagues as an equal, which is in itself illegal, but he did it so decisively that it is not simple. ”

I said, "It's not easy to shut him up, anyway, there are no eyes and ears here, if he kills him, he will kill him, and he will find a reason to go back." He didn't know you were here, I wouldn't say it anyway, he killed two birds with one stone with this sword, on the one hand, he sold a good one to me, and on the other hand, he also killed a competitor, at least now he has two squads of men and horses alone. ”

"You have to expand your mind a little bit more, you only see the benefits of what he does, but you don't see the risks and the reasons why he is willing to take those risks," William said. You know, the Inquisitor is omnipresent, and no one is sure that there are not many Inquisitors under him, and he killed Mangna, which cannot be hidden. He doesn't seem to be going to hide it, he does it just to gain your trust, as for what, if there is no other purpose, it's not worth it just for a third-level inquisitor who has just known him for less than a day, even for your million-dollar head. ”

I pouted and said, "I don't see any reason for him to do that." ”

William asked, "Can't you really see it?"

I said, "Unless he's a spy for the Five Great Powers trying to infiltrate the Order......," I said, covering my mouth and looking at William.

William nodded: "You're a bit of a good way." ”

I said, "Vicente really got in and spy?"

William said: "I don't know, but when the possibility of everything is ruled out, the remaining one, no matter how crazy, is possible." ”

I said, "So what am I going to do?"

William said: "If he wants to act, you will accompany him to act, pretend not to know, anyway, he has a request for you, and sooner or later he will speak." You'll know what to do then?"

I said, "Find the evidence and kill him?" After speaking, he shook his head again: "Why don't you plan and mix in the forces behind him to plot bigger?"

William nodded: "Okay, I'm relieved of my vision." You're fully capable of being a spy. With that, he disappeared from the window in a puff of smoke.

Not long after he left, it was dawn, and there was a gathering of whistles, and some sleepy-eyed gray cloaks stood up in twos and threes with light crossbows on their backs, and soon formed two phalanxes in the square, one for infantry and one for crossbowmen. I did a rough count, and there were exactly two hundred-man teams in each phalanx.

They're practicing. Their method of practice is very simple, even rudimentary, that is, to teach some simple stabbing and slashing techniques, and there are occasional sparring projects. However, a cavalry hundred-man team that came out from behind had some taste of slaughter, practicing the cavalry formation in the open space outside the village.

I watched for a while when there was a sudden knock at the door, and Vicente, accompanied by two of his own soldiers, knocked politely on my door.

I opened the door and said, "I started practicing so early, and Your Excellency Vicente really has a good way of running the army!"

Vicente gave his trademark smile again, and said, "It's just a small fight, and Mr. Emmons is really a good man." I've heard that when Master Emmons was in the original mountain squadron, he once defeated a squad with a hundred men in drills, and he could win more with less so cleanly and beautifully with a disadvantage of 1 to 3, this is the real general. ”

I smiled, but I was shocked. The exercise in the mountain training base was known only to the mountain army, and no one outside knew about it. Vicente came out with this and told me that he had his own special sources and knew everything about what was going on in the mountain base.

Vicente continued: "I also feel very sorry that Captain Mangna has had an accident, but his subordinates cannot be left without their command, although I am in charge of two hundred cavalry, but I am not familiar with the command and training of infantry and archers, Mr. Emmons, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to be our infantry and archer commander? ”

This is Mangner's authority, and now it is transferred to me, but the murderer who killed Mangna is showing a "very regretful" look at the moment, which has to make me admire his acting skills. I smiled and agreed, "It's my pleasure too." ”

Actually, my inner thoughts were to kill these four hundred beasts with human faces and beast hearts, but at the moment when Vicente made this request to me, I suddenly changed my mind. Sin is buried in everyone's nature, they are just the animal nature that has been hooked out of the bottom of their hearts, if someone can bring them to the right path and imprison the ugliness in their hearts, maybe the good side can play a role. I decided to pull these four hundred out of the darkness, if it was possible.

I came to the two phalanxes and saw that the men were either yawning, rubbing their sleepy eyes, or chatting lazily. I stood there, like a cloud of air.

Obviously, they didn't know about my appointment, or even that Mangna had died last night.

I decided to play the role of a god stick once. I reached out and dipped the powder of the remaining pinch of musket into it, and stored a layer in my palm, and then, touching it with velvet, the brilliant fire rose in my palm.

I raised my palms high and let the dazzling sparks leap in my palms as I stared at the four hundred people below with a grim gaze.

There was silence for a moment.

I hissed and shouted, "Believers of the Blaka Order, I have come down to you in the name of the flames! you must fear me, listen to me, and be led by me!" I pinched out the flames and silently roared in my heart: "There should be wind here!"

A gust of wind blew flat on the ground, extinguishing all the torches that were still burning at dawn in an instant, and several people who were standing near were pushed to the ground by the wind, and they fell to their knees. This kneeling formed a current, which soon swept through the two phalanxes, and they both fell to their knees after a loud noise.

I threw up my hands and looked blankly at the heavens, and shouted, "I have come from the flames, I have come from the place where the sun was born, I have not come here to spread calamity, I have come here to save, to bring light back to the earth." Believers of the Blaka Order, the flame of your worship is the hope I bring you!"

I lit another flame in the palm of my hand, and when the flame snorted and burned in my palm, there was not a trace of pain on my face. I said, "Give up your past sins, and I'll take you on a new path!"

Everyone stared blankly at me, including Vicente, who was standing in the distance, and William, who was hiding somewhere. I guess they don't understand what I'm talking about. Vicente may have thought that I had apostasy, William might have thought that I had said these things to Vicente, and the four hundred people below were converted by me in full view.

Sometimes, believing is a matter of thought, and in a flash, they believe that I am the messenger of the flame, and in an instant, even I believe that I can lead them to a new path.

Afterwards, Mitsumitsu told me that he had decided to follow me from that moment on, not because of my god-like performance, but because he wanted to find out the name of the burning powder in my hand.

Before, he had followed the ghost fire in the grave and learned that a powder called phosphorus could burn with just a little heat or collision, but the burning of phosphorus was very gentle, far less intense than the powder in my hand.

Although I regretted the lack of incitement that this incident reflected, I quickly calmed down. Not everyone is idiotic enough to believe the words of a god, smart people have their reasons for everything. And the Wu Commander in front of him, named Guangguang, obviously firmly believed in his reason.

Guangguang is a Rhodoc, his father was an honest worker, working for people in a winery, and his grandfather was a more honest farmer, growing grapes for people. If nothing else, he would have carried on his family's tradition of spending his life in wineries, working with grapes and wine, but he lost interest in such a life early on, and became curious about the myriad unknowns of the world, such as why grapes turn into wine instead of rotten grape juice. This curiosity finally ended on a summer night, he found the powder called phosphorus because he was following the ghost fire, he took the powder home to study, only to accidentally set fire to the vineyard where his father worked, the fire grew stronger and stronger, and in the end it was irreparable, he left the village before the angry and hapless owner wanted the murderer, and began an endless journey on the run, until one day, he met the Dark Order.

Three years have passed since that inadvertent arson, and in three years, he has grown from a curious young man to an infantry captain of the Dark Order. But his peculiar hobby has not been lost, and in the past three years, he has become more and more interested in exploring the unknown of the world. When he saw the flame leaping in my palm, his first impression was that this must be a new invention.

I looked at the curious light in front of me, wondering if it was necessary to let him know, but at a glance, the light saw the shriveled little bag I hung behind my waist bag, and his eyes began to glow.

"Isn't that right there?" said Mitsumitsu, reaching out to touch the bag.

I took a step back and clutched the bag of powder, "What the hell are you going to do?"

Disappointed, Guangguang said, "I just want to figure out what's burning." ”

I poured a handful out of my pocket and poured it into his hand. Guangguang immediately looked at it carefully as if it had been a treasure, smelled and smelled, and finally raised his head with regret on his face: "Part of charcoal powder, part of sulfur, it seems that there is another thing that occupies the main body of the ingredients, but I need time." ”

I smiled and said, "You, you think I'm going to believe you just have to smell it to know what it is?"

Guangguang frowned and said, "I want to take half a month's leave." ”

I said, "What are you doing with your leave?"

Guangguang said nervously: "Do an experiment." Actually, I've had some guesses about the remaining ingredient, but I'm not sure, I'm going to need a lot of experimentation. ”

I said, "Come on, don't you just don't want to train, looking for so many interfaces, I'll already see through you." ”

In a hurry, Guangguang took out a water bladder from the pocket behind his buttocks, raised his hand and threw it into the air where no one was.

I said, "What do you want to do?" But before I could finish my sentence, Guangguang suddenly picked up his heavy crossbow and shot an arrow through the water bladder in the air, splashing the water contained in it on all sides.

I nodded, and was about to praise his archery skills, when suddenly a phenomenon appeared that stunned me, the water bladder that had been shot through, fell on the back of a thin lamb as it fell, and suddenly it burst into flames, and then the lamb cried out in pain, and rushed across the clearing, and after running a few steps he fell to the ground, kicking his hooves, and then stopped moving.
