Chapter Twenty-Nine: 'The Feast'
Ao Xingfeng and Diamas, who were following behind the city guards, didn't say a word, and walked for a while to the city lord's mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoTia sat on the throne of the city lord, and the vassals standing on either side whispered something, and fell silent after seeing the two.
"Diamas, Xingfeng, thank you, if it weren't for you, Finney City would be in another catastrophe. Saying that, Tia stepped down from her seat, holding Ao Xingfeng's hands and said.
"Why bother with raising your hands, but it's you Tia, is it really okay to rest for so long?" Pretending to be concerned, Ao Xingfeng looked into Tia's eyes, trying to see even the slightest strange fluctuation in her eyes.
"Finney City is still in danger now, the patrol outside the city has detected that a large number of undead are slowly advancing in the direction of Finney City ten miles to the southwest, although the city has been rid of the Templars and suppressed the previous riot, but the cultists of the 'Scarlet Moon' are still lurking around us, we alone are by no means the opponent of the group of undead in the southwest, I have sent a request to the king for rescue. Before we wait for reinforcements to arrive, we must investigate the whereabouts of the Scarlet Moon. Tia said.
"After repelling the Templars, we immediately headed to the penal table, but the infidels were quicker and the prisoners were saved. Ao Xingfeng said.
"It's okay Xingfeng, you did your best, the situation in the city is still a mess, we must clean up the internal troubles before the undead arrive, there is not much time left for us, you should hurry up and go back to rest first." I'll intensify my search during this time, and if I find any trace of the Crimson Moon, I'll have to ask Xingfeng to help us." Tia bowed her head and said.
"Hmm. After saying that, Ao Xingfeng took Diamas gloomily back to the mansion, and the servants in the mansion rushed home one after another, and took their families out of the city to take refuge in the north, and the two sat on the sofa in the reception room without saying a word, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Master Magician, Lord Ranger, you're back, do you need me to prepare anything for you?" said Mary, who had somehow walked over to the two of them, breaking the gloomy atmosphere.
"Just get some of it, don't bother too much. Diamas spoke, and the two fell silent again as Mary walked out of the reception room.
Listening to Mary's footsteps fading away, Diamas whispered, "Xingfeng, if Tia is really just using us, what will you do?" Ao Xingfeng shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, maybe...... Maybe I'll cut her. ”
"Alas, nobleman, nobleman, if it is really as Leguind said, Tia's acting skills are terrible, isn't it?, if she is really so powerful, why should she ask for our help?" asked Diamas, puzzled.
"Legion had enough motives to lie to us, and our departure would be in their best hands, but what he said was not unfounded. What Tia did didn't seem to me to treat us as friends. But since Tia is really so eloquent, why would she do such a thing that might make us suspicious?Isn't she afraid that we will defect?" Ao Xingfeng leaned back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling and said weakly.
"Ahh With that, Diamas walked to the garden, climbed over the fence, and disappeared from Ao Xingfeng's view.
It's not an idea to sit here and think about it, you have to know what Tia thinks of us behind our backs, and if that's the case, the maid sent to help us live is a watchman, and she will definitely inform Tia if we have any changes. Ao Xingfeng's eyes lit up and he thought of a plan.
......
Outside Finney City, there are several pagan soldiers standing outside the entrance of a cave *** in the eastern suburbs, and many torches are lit on the stone walls around the cave**, and the superior pagans of the 'Scarlet Moon' in the depths gather together to receive instructions from higher levels.
A young man with his eyes closed stood in the middle of the crowd and spoke, "Your next action is very simple, to confuse the Templars in other regions and cooperate with a thousand faces to liberate Finney City. ”
"The Light Knight has noticed what is going on here, and we must complete the liberation before he arrives!Time is running out, and all the strongholds on the border between Rees and Maleni have been wiped out by the Light Knight. Senmian hurry up and make your preparations, I will speed up the speed of the undead and arrive in Finney City tomorrow morning, and plan ahead of schedule!Although I don't know why, the departure of the Templars in Finney City is a great opportunity for us. The young man said loudly.
Lejende is also a thousand faces, a little flustered, the previous agreement with Ao Xingfeng was before sunset tomorrow, but now the Great Priest has moved forward his actions so much, you must know that every liberation is difficult. All the hidden dangers must be eliminated, let alone the guy who can easily destroy almost half of Finney City.
"Archpriest, there is a very tricky figure in Finney City, and the evacuation of the Templars is also because of him, we are working on him, and he will leave Finney City before sunset tomorrow. Please extend it for a while, or I am afraid it will have very serious consequences for our liberation. Leguind knelt down on one knee in front of the young man with his eyes closed, and said anxiously.
"What? But the light knight has already noticed what we're doing here! If we don't speed up, no one here will be able to escape, no matter what, we can only fight, no matter what the result is, we must evacuate this place immediately!" And there is actually a character in the city who can make Thousand Faces feel troubled, then this operation is probably going to end in failure.
"Well, in that case, can the Grand Priest lend you a projection rod?" said Legionde.
The archpriest handed his wooden staff to Leguiend, and then the meeting disbanded all the priests and returned to their posts, doing their respective work, Leguind took the wooden staff and frowned together, then shook his head and his eyes became determined.
......
Mary walked into the reception room with a tray of food, but there was only Ao Xingfeng and another person on the sofa missing. Somewhat confused, Mary put the food in front of Ao Xingfeng and asked, "Master Magician, where is your companion?"
"He, as if something had happened, left the mansion in a hurry. Ao Xingfeng took a piece of meat steak and said nonchalantly.
"That's it...."Mary left with a concern, watching Mary leave, Ao Xingfeng stood up and quickly disposed of the meat steak in his hand, planning to tail Mary to find out if she would report the situation to Tia.
Just when Ao Xingfeng stood up and was about to follow, a strange aura appeared from behind him, and he instantly put on an attack posture Ao Xingfeng turned around and watched a vague figure gradually become clear.
"Is that you?what's the matter?" Looking at the formed Lejend, Ao Xingfeng was still vigilantly preparing to attack.
"Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng, please forgive me for my presumptuousness. I have something to tell. Leguind said, bending over.
Ao Xingfeng raised his head and motioned for Lejende to continue.
"I'm very sorry, because of some force majeure reasons, our action was advanced, Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng is afraid that you will have to get your answer before tomorrow morning, whether to go or leave Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng to make a decision as soon as possible. Leguind said apologetically.
"I think I need to think about what you're saying. Ao Xingfeng looked at Lejende coldly and said.
"Indeed, my actions are full of suspicions, but believe me, we should not be enemies, and the Holy See will not give up so easily after you fought off the Templars. A powerful figure like His Excellency Ao Xingfeng would love to be our ally, and that particular Knight Commander of the Holy See is probably heading towards Finney City right now, and even His Excellency Ao Xingfeng may not be able to survive under that Knight Chief. Legion said.
"We have no enmity towards you, Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng, there is no other friend in this city who can stand by your side except for your companion, and if the chief knight insists on taking you away, I don't think anyone will stand up for you. At this point, I hope Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng will think it through. Seeing that Ao Xingfeng was silent, Lejende continued. After saying that, Leguind's figure slowly blurred until it dissipated.
Looking at the direction in which Lejende faded, Ao Xingfeng straightened out the three katana on his waist, and then left the mansion and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"Xingfeng, why are you here?" Tia put down the documents in her hand, looked at Ao Xingfeng who walked into the study, and asked with some surprise.
"Tia, let me ask you, are we friends?" Ao Xingfeng said as he closed the door.
"Well, why did you suddenly talk about this? Of course we are friends! Xingfeng, you are my only friend in this world. Tia said seriously.
"Can you tell me, then, what does a friend mean to you?" asked Ao Xingfeng, leaning against the door.
