Chapter 186: Traitor

Scarlet Moon's face was originally full of disappointment and frustration, but seeing this person's tortured appearance, she couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression.

Elistan looked up at her. "Young man," he said solemnly, though his voice was faint. "You claim that you have brought the gospel of the ancient true God.

If it wasn't like the legend that we turned our backs on the gods, not that they turned their backs on us, then why did they wait so long to show up?"

Scarlet Moon knelt beside the dying man, pondering how to answer.

Finally, she smiled slightly and said, "Imagine if you were walking in a dense forest with your most precious possession: a rare and beautiful gem.

Suddenly, you are attacked by a ferocious beast, and you drop the gem in a panic and run away as fast as you can.

When you find that the gem is gone, you don't dare to go back to the forest to look for it.

That's when another person gives you another gem. Although you know in your heart that this gem is not old, the previous one is precious, but you still dare not go back to find it.

You think it's the gem that's missing. Or is it still in the forest waiting for you to go back and pick it up?"

Elistan closed his eyes, a look of remorse on his face. "Of course, that gem is still waiting for us.

We are stupid! I wish I could learn more about your God. He held out his hand and said.

Scarlet Moon held her breath, her face turning as pale as his. "You'll have time," she said softly, squeezing his hand gently.

Robert was moved by what he saw, and suddenly became alert to someone filming him.

He turned, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, and behind him stood Stone and Calamon.

"What's going on?" he said immediately, "Are the guards back?"

"Not yet," Yuto said dumbly. "But we're guessing too soon. Also, Iban and Gircenas are missing. ”

It's late at night in New Grande.

The Red Dragon Paith returned to his lair, which lacked the space he was accustomed to pacing when he took on human form.

He could barely spread his wings, even though it was already the largest room in the fortress, and it had even been specially adjusted for it.

But the room wasn't big enough in the first place, and the dragon could only roll over.

The dragon lay on the ground waiting, forcing himself to rest, staring at the door, not noticing that two people were sneakily peeping on the balcony upstairs.

There was a knock on the door.

Paigus quickly looked up, but disappointed to see the two goblins dragging a poor little fellow, he couldn't help but yell, and fell down again.

"Valley dwarves!" Paigs said disdainfully to the lower creatures.

"If Fierce Minna thought I was going to eat the dwarves of the valley, he must be crazy. Get out of here after throwing him in a corner!" he yelled at the goblin.

He obeyed as promised, and fled the room as if he were flying, leaving only the Siston Chronicle in the corner whining and crying.

"Shut up!" Paigs ordered angrily. "Why don't I just scorch you so you can't-"

There was another knocking sound on the door, and the dragon recognized the frequency. His eyes glowed red. "Come in!"

A figure flashed into the dragon's lair, draped in a long cloak and hooded over its face.

"I'm here on your orders, Blaze. The man said softly.

"Good!" replied Paiace, his tail sweeping the floor. "Take off your hood, I want to see the face of the person I'm talking to. ”

The comer pushes the hood back.

On the faucet, on the third floor, there was a low cry. Patrick looked up at the dark balcony and thought about flying up to take a look, but the man in front of him had messed with his thoughts.

"I have limited time, Your Excellency. I had to rush back before they suspected. I'll have to report to the Majmina-"

"Say it again," Paith interrupted him impatiently. "What's up to the idiots you're having?"

"They intended to release the captives and incite a riot to force Mammina to withdraw his army to Wellington. ”

"That's it?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. Now, I have to warn the Dragoon. ”

"Well, what's the big deal? Even if they riot, it's not me who will come in to deal with it, unless they have a plan against me?"

"No, Your Excellency. Just like everyone else, what they fear most is your power. The man paused, then continued:

"They'll wait until you and Myana fly to Quelinnors together. They are going to rescue the child before you come back and flee to the mountains. ”

"With their abilities, that's probably the only way to do that, right? Don't worry about Mengmin.

I'll let him know about it when I have time, there's something more important, much more important, and listen: that stupid Tome caught a prisoner todayβ€”"

Paiges paused, his eyes glowing and his voice muffled.

"That's him!' the man we've been looking for!" the man looked up in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" replied Paith immediately. "I dream of him even in my dreams!

Here he is, in my grasp, just as the whole Candela is looking for himβ€”and I have found him!"

"Do you want to inform the Great Darkness after?"

"I didn't dare tell the messenger the news. I'll have to deliver this person myself, but I can't leave right now.

Meng Minna didn't have the ability to solve Wellington alone. Even if this battle is won and undefeated, we have to make a show, and it is always better to have no elves in this world.

As soon as I have time, I will sacrifice the eternal man to the queen of darkness. β€œ

"Why did you tell me?" the man asked, with a hint of nervousness.

"Because you've got to protect him!" Paius said, changing his position to a more comfortable position. The plan in his mind was now perfected.

"It's all the blessing after the darkness that will send the Eternal and the priest of Mishakai to the door! I will let the Mammina deal with the priest and her friends himself tomorrow.

In fact, "Paigs' eyes lit up," maybe it would be better. We can take advantage of the chaos to send the Emerald away, and the Fierce Min will never find out!

When the slaves attack, you are responsible for finding the emeralds.

Bring him back and hide him in the basement.

When humanity is wiped out and Quilenos is razed, I will personally sacrifice him to the Queen of Darkness. ”

"I understand. The man bowed again. "And what do I get paid?"

"Will give you your due. Let's go. ”

The man put on his hood again and withdrew. Paith folded his wings and lifted himself up, letting his tail rest against his nose and glaring in the darkness. All he could hear was the sound of Seston whimpering.

"Are you alright?" Evan asked Wade softly, and the two of them hid motionless on the balcony, afraid of being discovered.

It was pitch black all around, and Evan covered the proud little ball of light in a vase.

"It's fine," Wade said dumbfounded. "I'm sorry I just lost my temper. I can't help it. Although I was a little mentally prepared.

But it's hard to believe that someone you know would betray you. Do you think the dragon heard it?"

"I don't know. Evan sighed. "The question is, what are we going to do now?"

"I don't know," Wade said sadly. "I've never been one to come up with ideas.

I'm just playing with everybody. We couldn't warn Robert and the others because we didn't know where they were.

If we start looking around for them, we're going to get caught and make things worse!" He put his chin on his hand, "You know what,"

"I once asked my dad why the Kanders are so tall like humans and elves," he said softly, and was silent for a moment.

What answer did your father say? Evan asked softly.

"He said the Kander were so small because we had to do the little things. 'If you look closely at every big thing in the world,' he said,

And you'll see that they're all made up of little things. The giant dragon was made up of tiny drops of blood, maybe.

It's the little things that make all the difference. ”

"Your father is quite wise. ”

'That's right!'" Wade rubbed his eyes. "I haven't seen him in a long time. The Khand's pointed chin protruded, and his small mouth pursed tightly.

If his father had seen the little guy in front of him become so decisive, he might not have recognized this as his son.

"The big things are for others to do. Wade finally announced. "There's Robert.

Scarlet Moon and Stone are enough to handle everything. Let's do the little things that don't seem to be important. We're here to rescue Seston.

"I heard strange noises, Robert, so I'm going to look at it," Iban pursed her lips. "I saw a dragonman sneaking outside the cell door eavesdropping.

I jumped over to strangle him, but the second dragonman rushed at me. I finished it with a single sword, then caught up with the first dragonman, and after I had taken care of it, I thought it would be best to come back and have a look. ”

As soon as they returned to their cells, they found Gilcenas and Iban already waiting for them.

Robert ordered Marietta to take the ladies to another corner, and he began to interrogate the two men about their disappearance.

Iban's story sounded believable, as Robert did see the dragonman's corpse when he returned to his cell, and Iban's cheeks were marked by battle marks, cuts, and torn clothes.

Lena took a relatively clean cloth from a lady and began to clean his wounds. "He saved our lives. She complained.

"I thought you would thank him, but you questioned him suspiciously, as if he had killed your best friend. ”

"Don't blame them, Lena. Iban said softly. "Robert has the right to ask these questions.

I admit that it all does look suspicious, but I have nothing to hide. ”

He grabbed her hand and kissed her gently. Lena blushed and threw the cloth into the bucket, picked it up and gently wiped his cheek.

Calamon frowned when he saw this.

"What about you, Girsenas?" the warrior asked suddenly, "why did you leave?"

"Don't ask me!" said the elf angrily, "you don't want to know. ”

"Know what?" Robert asked, "why did you leave?"

"Don't push him!" shouted Lolana and ran to her brother's side.

Gilsenas's brown pupils began to flicker, and his face was pale and bloodless when he faced the crowd.

"It's important, Lorana. Robert said. "Where have you been, Gilsenas?"

"Remember, I warned you. Gilcenas's eyes were on Rodlis.

"I'll come back to see if the mage is really as prostrate as he claims. He's not that weak. The others are gone. ”

Calamon stood up, fists clenched, his expression twisted with anger.

Stone grabbed him and pulled him back, while Riverwind stood in front of Girsenas to protect him.

"Everyone has the right to speak and the right to defend themselves. The plainman said in a deep voice.

"The elf has made his statement, let us also hear what your brother has to say. ”

"Why do I say that?" said Rodrith, his voice thick with hatred.

"Why do you pretend to believe me if you don't trust me?

If you think I'm a traitor, kill me now!' I have no opinionβ€”" He coughed again.

"You might as well kill me. Calamon said stiffly, taking his brother back to bed.

Robert felt very uncomfortable.

"Send twice as many people to keep vigil tonight. No, Iban, not including you.

Burn, you and Hubble in the first round, River Breeze and I in the second round. Robert lay stiffly and rested his head on his arm.

"We have been betrayed!"

One of the group, he thought, was a traitor, maybe he had been fighting from the beginning.

Guards could rush in at any moment. Meng Min's mind may be more detailed, he has already set a trap to catch us all......

Robert suddenly saw everything in front of him.

Of course, Meng Minna will definitely use this riot as an excuse to kill all the hostages and priests.

He could have taken more slaves, just in time to kill chickens and monkeys, and thus increase his majesty.

This conspiracy, Gilsenas's plan is exactly in his hands!

We can't give up on this plan, Robert thought in a panic, and he forced himself to calm down. It's not going to work, people are so excited.

Since Elistan's miraculous recovery and his professed conversion to these ancient gods, there has been hope.

They began to believe that God had returned to the world.

Tan Robert also noticed the jealous looks in the eyes of the other High Seekers looking at Elistan.

He understood that while they outwardly supported the leader, they would try to overthrow him whenever they had the chance. Even now, they have not given up lobbying the masses and spreading suspicion.

Robert thought that if we held back now, they would never believe us again.

No matter how dangerous it is, we can only rush forward as hard as we can. And, perhaps, he was wrong.

Maybe there were no traitors in the fight from the beginning.

He comforted himself in his heart, rekindled hope, and lay down asleep when he woke up.
