Chapter 258: Persecution
Angel watched as Soth was taken away, and for some reason she always felt that the knight who had captured Soth was somewhat familiar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shaking her head, Angel ran in the direction where her father was knocked away, and outside the mansion, she found her unconscious father.
"It's not a big deal, the person who started it is very measured, it's just a flesh wound, and the injury to the inner abdomen is very light. One of the Guardian Knights of the Jeff family probed for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lady Jeff and Angel.
The mother and daughter were relieved, and then frowned.
"Mother, if you say that if I go to find Lady Soraya now, will she see me?" The matter passed, but the failure of her mission and the exposure of her identity made Angel extremely frightened, she did not know what fate awaited her.
Mrs. Jeff looked at her delicate daughter, reached out and gently took her daughter in her arms, and stroked her long hair.
"Anjie'er, don't worry, no matter what, your mother won't let you have any problems, when your father wakes up, we will go to Lady Soraya together!"
Viscount Jeff, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, saw the mother and daughter hugging each other, was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted to what had happened.
"What are you looking for, Mrs. Soraya, take An Jie'er directly, go to the city lord's mansion, find His Majesty Platinum to thank him for saving his life, and then it is all up to His Majesty to dispose of it, you have found Lady Soraya, what is the use except for being coerced by her to cut her out of thin air? Could it be that His Majesty Platinum's anger can be erased by Lady Soraya?"
Sitting up, Viscount Jeff looked serious, but he chose the right path.
Angel shrunk in her mother's arms and whispered:
"Father, but, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid of His Majesty Platinum!"
At the end of the plan, An Jie'er lost her bargaining chips against her father, and naturally turned back into the coquettish good girl.
Glancing at his daughter, Viscount Jeff had a headache, having such an indescribable daughter was a real headache for his father.
In the city lord's mansion, Zhou Mo was reprimanding the empress's envoy.
"The guards in the city lord's mansion were transferred, but there was no one less of your envoy guards, and someone actually found your study and took away the messenger's token, how did you, the empress's envoy, behave like this? This is a great disrespect to Her Majesty the Empress Nalong!"
The thunderstorm is not enough to describe Zhou Mo's performance at this time, he is simply angry, as if the empress's envoy has committed some great crime of treason and anti-humanity.
However, the Empress could not say a word, because his emissary token was indeed lost, and His Majesty Platinum had indeed let the wanted felons of the Holy See get away with it because of his negligence.
This responsibility, the empress envoy does not need to think about it, and His Majesty Platinum will never bear it, and it must be counted on his head.
However, whether it is as an empress emissary who loses the messenger's token, or misleads His Majesty Platinum, causing the Holy See to escape from a repeat offender, he can't afford any crime, and the best outcome after returning to the imperial capital is to be given up by the family and thrown to a frontier to fend for himself, if this angers Her Majesty, I am afraid that he will have to walk on the stake of the Holy See.
With his mind racing, the empress envoy simply knelt down neatly in front of His Majesty Platinum, at this time, the only one who could save his future and save his life was the only one in front of him.
As long as His Majesty moves a little bit and keeps things hidden, everything will be easy to deal with.
"Your Majesty, save me!" The young man can stretch and contract, which is beyond Zhou Mo's expectations.
At that moment, Shi Shiran sat down, took a sip of tea, and said:
"How do you want me to save you, and why do you want to save you?"
The envoy was born in an aristocratic family since he was a child, and grew up in the deceitful environment of the imperial capital, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately knew what to do.
"As long as Your Majesty saves my life, there is nothing to do!"
sold himself cleanly, in exchange for Zhou Mo's words:
"You're very good, go down, put your mind at ease, it's going to be fine, when something happens, someone will look for you later!"
The messenger was first happy, and then his face was bitter, the first one had something, referring to the things he had committed, and the descendants had something, referring to the things that His Majesty Platinum had asked him to do.
Lady Soraya appeared outside the door at this time, and when she saw that the empress's envoy was there, she waited respectfully outside the door and did not come in.
The envoy got up from the ground, and then disappeared in front of Zhou Mo's eyes as fast as he could, there was a beautiful woman outside the door, thinking of His Majesty Platinum's reputation, if he didn't have this kind of look, this envoy would not be able to come to the Principality of Platinum on such an errand.
When he went out, the messenger smiled flatteringly at Mrs. Soraya, which made Mrs. Soraya baffled.
"Your Majesty, why did this envoy suddenly become ......?"
Zhou Mo waved his hand.
"Leave him alone, is the secret passage out of the city ready?"
Soraya smiled and said:
"Which nobles in the city, which big forces don't have one or two urgent passages out of the city? I've just picked up one of the most secret. ”
Although Zhou Mo was His Majesty Platinum at this time, the nobles and merchants under his command seemed to be slapping him in the face when they were preparing to escape the secret passage, but Zhou Mo didn't think it was strange at all, but he snorted coldly for the sake of his face, and didn't pay attention to it.
"What about the refugees? There is a drought in the central part of the empire, and there should be a lot of refugees driven in the direction of the Platinum Duchy!"
Speaking of refugees, Mrs. Soraya had a hard look on her face.
"It's really a lot, there are 100,000 of them, but those who can go to this Critical City are estimated to be blessed by the gods!"
"Moreover, I heard from the merchants who came and went, the refugees outside have reached the point where they can eat their children, and the empire has blocked the news, Your Majesty, should we ......"
"Don't care, if you can go to the Critical City, we will give them a way to live, if you can't go, that's not our responsibility, outside the Critical City, it's not the Principality of Platinum!"
Zhou Mo's words were cold, and there was no trace of anyone asking.
But hearing it in the ears of Lady Soraya made her breathe a sigh of relief, she is the master of the Critical City, if Her Majesty Platinum wants to take the responsibility of these refugees on the Principality of Platinum, the first to suffer is her Critical City.
"When the refugees arrive, you also have to pay attention to control, these people who have nothing, and have even eaten human flesh, if they are not careful, they will cause trouble, let them understand that our Principality of Platinum has strict national laws, and then they can be allowed to move freely, understand?"
Soraya's expression tightened, and she nodded in response:
"Your Majesty is wise, Soraya remembers. ”
Zhou Mo nodded, and then said:
"Let Soth get out of the city as soon as possible, let Som guide him to the route of the refugees, and send a few convoys to transport grain by the way, how to arrange it, you can see it, but you must ensure that Soth can intercept the food with that group of refugees, understand?"
Soraya nodded, signaling that she understood, and stepped back quickly.
However, Soraya, who had just retreated, soon returned, looked at Zhou Mo with a somewhat strange face, and said:
"Your Majesty, Viscount Jeff and his daughter Angel are here to thank Your Majesty!"
Zhou Mo frowned, he didn't have any good impression of An Jie'er, who had planned to have to make a large-scale change.
"Let them go back, it's not time to deal with them!"
Soraya's eyes twitched, and she said one more word:
"Your Majesty, this An Jie'er may not be useless in the future, if you say this, I am afraid that the Jeff family may do something excessive in order to protect the family!"
Zhou Mo thought about it, there is really this possibility, a noble family, sacrificing a daughter, and pulling himself out of the whirlpool, this deal is very cost-effective.
"In this way, leave An Jie'er behind, temporarily enter the slave status, and be a personal maid for you, don't you like her very much?"
Soraya laughed coquettishly and said:
"Your Majesty, An Jie'er tastes very good, Soraya just trained you in advance......"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Mo to speak again, and retreated.
In an abandoned cellar in the city's civilian neighborhood, Soth, the Godslayer, Niria, and Som sat opposite each other, with only a dim oil lamp, flickering and dimming.
Soth's already gloomy and terrifying face became more and more gloomy under the backdrop of this oil lamp.
"Captain, everyone who comes out to mingle with the underground world has their heads tied to their belts, and it is a matter of time before they die, Laron, rats, they won't blame you!" Som said in a tone of indifference.
Soth's face became more and more gloomy, and the people in the underground world were also in the eyes of their own people, did they also have this impression?
Is it lucky not to die, and deserved to die?
"Maybe this is not a good thing, at least, they are free, they don't have to fight for their lives, and they don't have to face this bad world!" the godkiller said in a low tone, reaching out and plucking the wick of the oil lamp, as if he wanted to see this little oil lamp that could illuminate the whole world.
Niria played with the hilt of the sword in her hand boringly, and there was no sadness on her face, which made Soth very strange, he could understand the attitude of Thorme and the Godslayer, after all, they were both old birds who had wallowed countless times in life and death, but Niria didn't care so much, so Soth asked:
"Niria, Laron and the rats are dead, and you're not sad at all?"
Niria was slightly stunned, looked at Soth, and asked:
"Of course I'm sad when my teammates die! The big man and the dead rat are very good to me, but since I am determined to mingle in the underground world, this should be a long-ago consciousness, when I came out of the house, someone told me that once you enter the underground world, you can do whatever you want, but life and death are not in your own control!"
"Isn't there anything wrong with wanting this kind of freedom, you have to pay this price?"
Niria's eyes were clear and natural.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I didn't expect that Niria, you are also so open-minded, I thought you would be sad about this!"
After Angel was exposed, the charm that acted on Soss naturally faded, and Soth naturally recovered himself, and the good impression in his heart for such a beautiful girl as Niria sprouted again......
It has to be said that it is difficult for men to escape the control of aesthetics and the lower body.
With a wry smile at the moment, Soth and Niria looked at each other and said:
"Sadly, what is right has become darkness, and what is wrong has stood under the light!"
Then Soth suddenly asked:
"Is the Dawning Blade here?"
Som and the three looked at each other, and Niria spoke:
"Here!"
As he spoke, he took out a long strip of brown cloth from under the table where the four of them were seated, and handed it to Soth.
Soth unwrapped it, and the Dawning Blade lay silently on the cloth.
Reaching out and regaining grip on the hilt of the sword, in an instant, the familiar and unfamiliar, powerful and uncontrollable force filled Soth's body again.
In his eyes, a pure white holy light flashed, and Soth regained his confidence and said:
"When the defenses of Critical City are relaxed, I will be able to use this Dawn Blade to lead everyone out of the city!"
Speaking of this, Somme gave Soth a blank look and said:
"The Dawning Blade is a gift from Her Majesty Platinum to Her Majesty the Empress, Her Majesty's infatuation with Her Majesty the Empress is known to the world, captain, do you think that if you can't find this sword, Your Majesty Platinum will leave Critical City?
The self-confidence that Soth had just risen because of the surge in strength was instantly shattered by Som's words, and the power of His Majesty Platinum he had seen with his own eyes, in front of His Majesty Platinum, he was holding the Blade of Dawn, and he could not raise the courage to fight.
Unless!
Soth's eyes were fiery as he looked at the Dawning Blade in his hand, unless he could really control the power of this Excalibur, or through this Dawning Blade, he would gain the favor of the True God of Light, he believed that no matter what, as long as he did it, he would be able to fight with His Majesty Platinum!
"Your Excellency the Godslayer has found a way out of the city, a secret passage for the Chamber of Commerce to transport prohibited goods, and we can get out of the city tonight!"
Hearing this, Soth was first lost for a moment, then with a burst of joy, looked at the Godslayer, and thanked:
"Your Excellency the Godslayer, thanks to you!"
The Godslayer just lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, without saying anything else.
"Captain, after leaving the city, you can contact Lord Nightingale Holm, without the support of Lord Holm, even if we escape from Critical City, it will be difficult for us to survive, I believe that now, our wanted avatar has been hung all over the Poseidon Empire!"
"It can also be expected that in some time, we will be wanted in the territory of the Seven Empires, and if there is no perfect hiding place for us to avoid the cusp of the storm, in fact, to escape or not, in terms of results, there is not much difference!" Somme was pessimistic about the future of the four.
Soth wanted to refute, but he knew that Som's words were true, even if he was holding the Dawning Blade now, but he could kill a thousand people, he could still kill ten thousand people?
A single wanted warrant for those in power can force them to have nowhere to hide, and Soth realizes that a small fight in the underground world will not be a climate after all, and it is useless to change the status quo!
That night, under the leadership of the Godslayer, the four of Soth infiltrated the secret tunnels of the Chamber of Commerce.
It was so dark that the four did not even dare to light a single candle.
groping his way through the darkness, Som, who was suddenly walking in the front, stopped, turned around, and couldn't see clearly in the darkness.
"There are footsteps in front and behind, and there is more than one entrance and exit in this dark passage!"
The Godslayer was the last, unable to see in the dark, but the Godslayer could feel that the eyes of the other three were all on him.
"Who are they, can you tell the difference?" the Godslayer didn't take a position lightly, but asked rhetorically.
Quiet again, Somme listened intently for a moment, then said:
"The footsteps ahead were heavy and vain, and the sound of porcelain clashing, it should be a caravan transporting goods from outside the city, so there was no need to worry. ”
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as long as it wasn't an ambush.
"But the footsteps behind are heavy and solid, and there is also the sound of armor colliding, it should be the army patrolling the Critical City, and they have discovered the secret passage, but the footsteps are not in a hurry, they should not have discovered us, just to block all possible escapes from the Critical City!"
"The city lord of Soraya is a snake on the ground, it is impossible for her not to know that the nobles in the city have a secret passage! It seems that the pressure of His Majesty Platinum has made the city lord of Soraya no longer care about the attitude of the nobles in the city!"
Somme's judgment was accurate, and he was convinced by the other three.
"Keep going, I'll hold back the caravan, or you'll be spotted by the army behind!" said the Godslayer, whose mission was over, and he was going to leave.
Soth thought for a moment, estimated the power of the Godslayer, and then agreed:
"Okay, we'll be waiting for you at the exit!"
The Godslayer dived backwards without a sound.
Somme, on the other hand, quickened his pace and silently approached the caravan ahead.
Somme's strength, dealing with ordinary people transporting goods, is naturally foolproof, and without even making a sound, he knocked out all the coolies of the Chamber of Commerce.
But in the rear, soon the sound of fighting was heard.
"Let's go, it's the Platinum Knight!"
Suddenly, there was the roar of a godkiller!
