"Absolutely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Frederick warned Rune, "There are seven minutes left, and it will only take four minutes to go back and forth." You will definitely be able to see the king himself, so be patient and don't detonate the explosives. ”

Rune was dazed and excited, his nervous lips trembled, and he became chattering: "Yes, there are still six minutes and 39 seconds, I will not wait a moment, when the time comes, it will detonate immediately!" He scanned all the nobles with surprise and wariness, and met with those frightened, disgusted, and hostile gazes, and kept saying: "I understand your hatred, because I am familiar with this feeling—this is also the last six minutes of my life, because when the time passes, the location of the explosives will be exposed." At that time, I must blow up the mansion and declare my power to the king, because I cannot die in vain. I don't want to kill you. But if the king does not show up, I can only express regret. ”

Frederick was anxious, but he had to stay calm. He stood up, stopped Rune's gaze, and said to him calmly, "If you blow up these innocent nobles, you will only be accused of murder, and all your stories will not hold water, and no one will believe your suffering, which is what the king likes to hear." So you should evacuate these women right away. In exchange, I'll be your hostage. ”

"Who are you?" said Rune, wary.

Frederick glanced back at the frightened celebrity, waved his hand categorically, and said, "I am Count Frederick, Guardian of the West, Lord of Bafaria. Ask them to testify: I am worth more than all the people in this room combined. I promise to be a hostage, to stand by and not to resist, and not to hurt Rune in the slightest. He dismissively unsheathed his sword, threw it at Rune, stared at him, and said, "You may draw your sword and put it on my neck, if you are not at ease." ”

Hearing this declaration, the men who couldn't escape immediately rushed to confess:

"Count Frederick is a man of the year in the imperial capital, and his reputation is the highest in the city, and he is much more valuable than my family!"

"Rune, you see clearly, Count Frederick is a prince, a public lover, and an idol of the imperial capital!

"His Royal Highness Frederick is like the bright moon in the sky, and we are only the fluorescent light of rotten grass, and there is no way to compare with Count Frederick!

Frederick laughed, pointed to the crowd with great grandeur, and boasted to Rune: "Do you hear that? In this exchange, you will not only get a hostage of great importance, but also avoid the notoriety of murder, and benefit the country and the people. You don't have to worry about me resisting, I swear in the name of a knight that I will keep this promise. ”

Rune gritted his teeth and shouted at the nobles who were about to move: "Don't move! Whoever dares to leave, I will blow them all up!" He looked at Frederick with flickering eyes, and began a dark battle with compassion and resolute obsession, he did not know what the outcome would be today, so he was in a dilemma, and it was difficult to make decisions.

The desperate girls crouched on the dance floor with their heads bowed and began to cry. They were enjoying the music in the blink of an eye, and their lives hung by a thread, and when they heard Frederick's proposal, they thought they would escape, but they were suddenly reprimanded by Rune and fell back to the bottom of despair. They hated Rune, thanked Frederick, resented the king's non-coming, and were so sad that they were in a mess.

Suddenly, the artifact warned Frederick in the shadows: "Rune's heart is beating faster, and his pulse is surging. Time is ticking, and if the king wants to come, the time should come—Rune is thinking about whether or not to blow you up. You're going to run, it's still too late. ”

"Can you find out where the explosives are?" Frederick despaired. He saw Rune's eyes wandering, with a fierce glint of jealousy, and he felt that something was wrong.

"I could have tried it, but I didn't have enough temperance. Your Stanza is 100/100, all of which are untransformed. You won't listen to you to pick up your stockings, you won't do it when you lift your skirt, you don't have the power to do it now, stupid beep, don't you? regret it? Now you know it's shameful to waste, right?"

Frederick was silent for a moment, then said to the artifact, "Wait, I'll try." If you collect energy, you save up the energy. ”

"What are you going to do," the artifact shouted in horror as he glanced at the shivering girl all over the ground, "Are you going to do such and such a thing to them?

Frederick sighed and said to Rune, "Can I say the last words?"

Rune drew his sword against Frederick's neck and nervously shouted, "Say it...... The king doesn't take us seriously at all, he won't come! Say it, let's die together. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ladies squatted helplessly, and their cries gradually let go, and they held their faces and wept.

Frederick let the thin sword cut his neck, and said to the discouraged nobles: "Let me tell you a story." The Duchy of Spanny at the end of the continent is a keen bullfighter and loves to eat cow balls.

Whenever the bullfight is over, the 'ointment' of the defeated cow is cut off and eaten.

someday

A Sbonny nobleman came to the restaurant to order beef balls.

The waiter in the restaurant said,

You pay the deposit, and it will be given to you tomorrow.

The next day, this man came to fetch cow balls,

It turned out that the 'balls' were very small.

He asked why.

The waiter replied, 'Sir, not every time you lose a bullfight...... Today is the matador who loses ......'. ”

Because Frederick spoke with great earnestness, everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and when they heard the latter they realized that it was a meat joke, and all the men struck their heads against the pillar in frustration, and continued to be discouraged; on the contrary, a few sluggish girls, who had thought for a long time before they understood, laughed at him with a burst of tears, and stared at him with disgust, as if they had time to tell jokes when he was dying; but when they saw Frederick still having a sword resting on his neck, they immediately sympathized with his miserable situation, and admired his courage and calmness.

The artifact shattered in Frederick's mind: "It's not yellow enough!" It took 34 points of discipline power to be transformed, and there are still [66/100] points of discipline left, can you talk about something more yellow?"

Suddenly, a fast horse flew outside, Oppenheimer turned over and dismounted, and shouted from a distance of 100 meters: "His Royal Highness the King has arrived!

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was immediately excited, and everyone stood up with joy, and raised their lips in anticipation: "The king has summoned you! Your request has been fulfilled, can you let us go?"

Frederick turned his head to see that only Oppenheimer was outside, not even Filia. Filia's red dress is so eye-catching that it stands to reason that you should be able to see it at a glance.

Why didn't Filia come back? Frederick had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still smiled and bewitched Rune: "The king's envoy has returned, and everything is clear. Now, I'm going to be your hostage, how about taking a step back and evacuating the women first. This is the best way to show your sincerity and respond to the king's heart. ”

"My sincerity?" muttered Rune blankly, his gaze like a wounded beast and a desperate sagacity, hollow in his sight of the world. He muttered in frustration, "I just want to be treated as a dignified person—can't such excessive demands be met?" When he was pessimistic and desperate, the human side struggled to smile: "Then evacuate the women first." ”

Frederick turned around and shouted, "Rune agrees with women to evacuate first! There are still 3 minutes left, please don't block the exit, let the women and children leave first! Strong men must maintain order!"

"Thank you, Your Highness Frederick...... Thank you!" the nobles who were in a hurry to escape under the protection of the Praetorian Guard. And even though the men who were about to move were in a hurry to escape, they resisted the urge to rush out of the door, gave the exit to the women, and let the girls with tears ripple urgently evacuate.

Frederick suddenly noticed the sword around his neck trembling. He turned his head to look, and found that Rune had already cried tears, and was looking at himself in despair, and said in a choked voice: "Count Frederick, you also know that the king will not appear at all, right? Even the female knight you sent out has been detained, and the king's luan must have gone straight back to the palace, and he has not turned around at all." In his eyes, life like us is like wheat, we just need to harvest it, and then we can grow another crop next year -- in their eyes, we are all wheat, right?"

Frederick then realized that his clumsy acting skills could not be concealed by Rune - he guessed that the king had decided to violently sack the mansion, and Rune must have guessed too. Frederick was speechless, and could only open the skylight and say something bright: "Rune, you agree to evacuate the woman, proving that you are a good wheat." ”

"I don't want to be wheat. I want to be human. Rune wept and said, "You are also wheat." How could the king apologize when he killed the wheat? Wrong from the start. Count Frederick, though you are also a wheat, thank you for treating me as a human being. ”

"Can you tell me, Rune, who is funding you?" asked Frederick, staring at him with burning eyes.

"It doesn't matter...... Count Frederick, lead the crowd away. Rune held his face weakly, and the thin sword fell to the ground: "When my companions are attacked by the Forbidden Army, they will definitely detonate explosives before they die. There are still 2 minutes to go...... Hurry up and guide the crowd to evacuate. You're right, Your Highness. I just want to be treated as a dignified human being, I don't want to be a devil. ”

Frederick's face turned pale, he staggered back two steps, suddenly kicked open the window with all his might, and shouted at the crowd: "Jump out of the window, break the window to evacuate! Don't be afraid, there are forbidden troops down there to catch you!" His throat was hoarse, his face was hideous, and his saliva flew in the air: "The forbidden army outside will attack at the same time in 2 minutes, and the mansion will definitely be detonated! Jump out of 8 windows! It's better to fall and be injured than to be blown up!" )
