Chapter 24: The Bet
So this time Virgy will fall in front of his former boss?" Yuri felt extremely nervous, and the sweat dripped down his angular cheeks and from his chin onto his armor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I guess Virgy should have got it by now. Baker looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Yuri's voice crystal came from Viggie's voice-
"Yuri, General Baker and the Knights of Law Enforcement who escaped from the North Gate have been defeated by us, and he is indeed in charge of transporting the treasure out of the city. The Mirror of Shadows has arrived, and you will go to the Great Sanctuary as agreed to wait for us to support you!"
But General Baker is clearly in front of him! The one who was knocked down by Virgie must have been just a stand-in!
Baker showed his white teeth: "It turns out that the agreed place is the Great Holy Hall, and it is really the safest place to be." ”
Yuri watched Baker hear the news of the attack on the treasure but did not panic, and immediately guessed that what was taken away by Virgy and the others was not the real treasure, it must be a forgery used to hide people's eyes.
And the real Mirror of Shadows must be stored somewhere else!
Yuri grabbed the Transsonic Crystal and wanted to tell Virgy that the plan had been revealed, and that Baker had already designed a trap and not to come to the Great Sanctuary.
But before he could touch the crystal, his arm was strained by the chains, and the crystal was snatched by Baker and shattered with one foot.
"Alright, let's go to the Great Sanctuary and wait for the guest who is ready to greet you. ”
Virgy must be notified!
Baker will have the plan, the net has been opened, and if Virgy crashes in like this, the two-person knights will be wiped out before they can be formally formed.
Yuri stood in the atrium of the Great Church, and couldn't help but feel sad as he watched the ruins of the bell tower that had burned like purgatory a day ago being washed away by the waves. The two lives that Virgy managed to snatch from the hands of death were buried after only one day, which is really a pity.
Although the Transsonic Crystal is broken, if you stand in the atrium and shout, you may be able to alert Veggie, who is about to come to pick him up, in advance. So Yuri couldn't stop shouting: "Beck, I really didn't expect Virgy to do something under you!"
"Ulysses, are you trying to warn Virgy?" replied Baker nonchalantly.
Sure enough, this scheming guy will definitely see through his thoughts immediately.
Then Baker burst out laughing, his pale beard shaking.
"Ulysses, you're stupid. Do you still have time to worry about Virgil now? Don't worry, only Virgi in this world is unlikely to suffer, you think that I designed a trap to calculate you and Virgie, but you didn't expect that Virgie actually designed a trap to calculate you. ”
Yuri stopped shouting, his eyes slowly widening.
Will Virgi come to pick you up? Don't laugh, as a fugitive from the Order of Light, the best way for him to survive is to join Knox and the Servants of Darkness. The Mirror of Shadows is an ancient artifact created by Knox, the god of darkness, and is a treasure that can transform shadows into reality. Taking such a treasure and dedicating it to the leader of the Dark Legion, such as the Fallen Witch or the Black Dragon General, is enough credit to make the person who offers the treasure rise to the top, right?
Listening to General Baker's reasoning, Yuri was dumbfounded, and Baker looked him straight in the eye and said, "So the truth is, Ulysses, that you were betrayed. You create chaos as Virgi and his dark minions steal the Mirror of Shadows and various treasures and present them to the witch. You've only known Virgi for a few days, and you dare to gamble with your life and listen to him to do things for him. Didn't your teacher teach you, and you must not believe the words of the Reaper Military Master?"
But to become friends with Virgy was the teacher's last words.
So what the hell is going on? Did Virgy miscalculate? The chaos he created did not make Baker flee in panic, and it is true that the commotion caused by the indiscriminate bombing of himself alone with a bomb is too limited in any case, and it is indeed too reluctant to scare Baker off in this way. Virgi could see through the situation after a few steps of development, and could not have made such a mediocre arrangement.
So Virgy really realized that Baker wouldn't leave Saintthorn City, right? Even so, he still arranged for himself to be caught in the net, and sure enough, it was just to facilitate his plan to snatch the Mirror of Shadows, was it just a so-called outcast?
But what is the need for Virgy to save the life of an outcast repeatedly?
And since the teacher wants to live, why would he let a person who thinks of him as an outcast to assist him?
Virgi must have his own brilliant plan, and he will not break his word. Anyway, he must have figured that he couldn't figure it out, and that it was so difficult to explain the Destiny of Photography with pencil drawings of light, and that it would be extremely difficult for a smart guy like Virgi to describe the whole picture of the plan to himself.
Becora moved the chains: "So Ulysses, you have nowhere to escape. ”
Unexpectedly, Yuri just sat cross-legged on the ground and said with a smile, "I didn't plan to run away in the first place." I made an appointment with Virgil that the place where he would pick me up was the Great Chapel. ”
An unhappy expression appeared on Baker's smug face for no reason: "Idiot, you don't understand Virgy at all. Virgil is a poisonous snake who will not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of innocent merchants in order to achieve his reputation as the strongest strategist. In order to escape from the Sacred Prison, he did not hesitate to harm an old boss like me. And now, in order to show favor to the dark Ones, what's so strange about betraying a nobody like you? He thinks he's got the Mirror of Shadows, so he won't come. ”
"Enough is enough, although I don't understand what grievances you have, but that guy Virgi is not the kind of bad person you describe, I can't make any sense, I just think his eyes are very kind. ”
Yuri raised a smile without flinching: "Maybe with your eyes, neither me nor Virgie, nor the teacher, nor my former companions, nor many other people are good things." What a person is like is what he sees as the world. ”
"How dare you provoke me?" said Beck, who stopped in his tracks.
"I just want to bet with you. Yuri stretched out his fist at Baker, "The content is that although I don't want Virgie to pick me up here, although this is obviously a trap set by you, Virgi will definitely come, he is not the one you said betrayed your friends!"
Baker didn't understand where Yuri's unwarranted confidence came from, and smiled with white teeth, "Interesting. What can you bet on if he doesn't come? You've got nothing left. ”
"If Virgy doesn't come, you can see my desperate expression. Isn't that your worst taste?"
Yuri pointed at Baker, "What would you do if Virgy came here?"
"I will spare all torture and send you to death in a painful and painless way. ”
Yuri is conflicted, not knowing whether to expect Virgie's arrival. Yuri initially preferred that Virgie selfishly go away and add another betrayal to the succession of betrayals, which seemed harmless, this life was originally saved by Virgil, and it was always a loss to return it to him in this way.
But slowly, Yuri, like a child, wants Virgy to come here. Yuri barely remembers what it was like to be desperate, because when he first tasted the feelings of despair in the world, Teacher Qiao Luya appeared in front of him with a smile, and for more than ten years after that, although life was poor and hard, it was always full of laughter and sunshine. And since he himself became a heretic, loneliness has returned, and when he was three years old, his neighbors had enough rations and were unwilling to share some of them with his skinny self, and this sense of helplessness came back to his heart, and it seemed that all that was left was the spurning and disgust of himself, and the hostile flower shovel in Lei's hands.
If Virgy doesn't come, then this story will become a lonely reincarnation of a person, appearing as without friends, and dying in this posture.
So even if there is a second, it is good to be able to break such a cycle.
As the minutes ticked by, Baker saw Yuri's expression fade into confusion and was about to announce that he had won the bet.
But a sudden gust of wind blew in the atrium, blowing open the pile of rubble that had been burned yesterday.
The young man who sat in the ruins of the clock tower with his cloak flying high said in a fresh voice, "It seems that even if we win such a bet, we will not make anything." ”
Yuri stood up suddenly, "Virgy, why are you here!"
"Is there anything wrong with coming to your aid as agreed?" said Virgie, smiling.
The blood that slowly cooled in Yuri's heart was reactivated, but he had to lose to the cold reality.
In the end, I could only say weakly: "The problem is that not only can't you save me when you come, but you have to take it in yourself." ”
Virgy remained unhurried: "Don't worry, Yuri. General Tobeck's blessing, let me know that your destiny is a dark destiny. So you can use Miss Qiaoluya's Shadow Mirror and use Shadow Destiny. Although the strength may not be comparable to Miss Qiao Luya, it is more than enough to break through the Great Holy Hall. ”
"Can I use the Teacher's Destiny?" Yuri was surprised.
Virgie took the Mirror of Shadows out of his collar and patiently explained, "Although most of the Mandate of Heaven is born into it, there is also a very special situation, and some Mandate of Heaven can be passed down through artifacts, which is the so-called Mandate of Heaven Condensation Phenomenon. The high-level Mandate of Heaven can only be used through the artifact left by the Twelve Gods, and in turn, if the person who holds the artifact also has the Mandate of Heaven with the same attribute, such as the Dark Mandate holder holding the Dark Artifact Shadow Mirror, they can also exert the ability of the artifact to a certain extent, so we snatched back the Shadow Mirror, and you can use the Shadow. ”
Virgy finally concluded: "So it will be much easier to escape this time than yesterday." ”
