Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Man Behind the Scenes
In the middle of the night, the park was quiet, and suddenly there was a terrifying laugh.
"Goohehe...... You're finally here, Messiah the Brave!" said Ellis Megatron, the blonde man in a black cape, white shirt and overalls, and a leather whip and candle.
"Where's Miss Arya, let her go as promised!"
Hearing the Messiah say this, Ellis sneered sarcastically.
"I don't remember making a promise with you to let that woman go...... No, I'm really not good at this kind of villain. Before he could finish speaking, Ellis covered his face helplessly, and beckoned to the woods with his other hand, "Newcomer, bring that woman up." ”
Soon, the dragon knight Yin Zhiping brought out a young female surname with a lot of flowers.
"Miss Arya~!!" Messiah recognized the girl's figure at a glance, but Ellis's movements made his heart rise to his throat.
"Don't be impulsive, or you can't guarantee that she won't get hurt...... After all, I'm a poison blade coated in poison. ”
A dagger was placed against the girl's waist, and as Ellis said, the blade was a strange purple color, as if it had been quenched.
obviously said that he didn't want to play the villain, but now what Ellis is doing is a complete villain, and with that seemingly pure Zhengtai figure, it really makes people feel full of disobedience.
Maybe this is the so-called integrity of the mouth?
"What the hell do you want!?"
"I'll just leave you for a while...... After all, with you and Ah Xuzi there, His Majesty the Demon King really had some trouble trying to seize the Seal Bead. ”
Messiah showed a clear expression: "That's true, but you can't help but underestimate Miss Ah Xuzi too much, and you also think too highly of the current demon king, right?"
"Hah! You must be too high-minded of Ah Xuzi, and too underestimate the current Demon King, right?" Ellis laughed, "I've spent more time with Ah Xuzi than you, and her combat awareness is really not very good, and she is more suitable to be a support or life player than a fight." ”
At this time, the distant sky glowed red, and it was so conspicuous at night.
Messiah and Ellis naturally noticed such a scene, but their thoughts were completely different.
[That direction...... It's Ace King City!?] Messiah looked at the direction where Hongxia appeared, but he was a little worried about the safety of Ah Xuzi.
"Hah! Axuzi's magic department can't cause this effect, it looks like the demon king has succeeded...... I just don't know if that guy will die once. Compared to the Messiah, Ellis laughed heartlessly.
But the next moment he did something that surprised the Messiah, he pushed Arya to the Messiah, and the Messiah subconsciously hugged her.
"You ......" the Messiah looked at Ellis with some surprise...... Could it be that Ellis found out on conscience?
"This woman is of no use to us, now you can take her away...... Although I didn't say it, His Majesty the Demon King regarded you as a lifelong enemy, and I didn't dare to kill you at such a time. ”
"yes, I'm really stressed by you saying that. It seemed that Arya was out of danger, and the Messiah was still in the mood to vomit.
The Messiah then used his sword to break the ropes that bound Arya, and almost immediately, Arya, who was free, ripped off the strips of cloth that covered her eyes and gaged her mouth.
She had many questions to ask the Messiah right now, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask.
"Don't you want to leave, you won't be able to leave when the Demon King comes back...... Or are you going to fight him to the death at this time? Explain in advance, the Demon King doesn't like to play one-on-one games. ”
The implication is that if the Demon King wants to beat you up, I will definitely take action.
"Farewell. The Messiah picked up Arya and left as fast as he could.
"Go all the way, don't send it far. Ellis said as he shook around with a handkerchief and looked bad.
After the Messiah was far away, he stuffed the handkerchief into his pocket, and then waved at Xiao Yin, "Come on dead dog, go back!"
Xiao Yin: "......"
......
The so-called capsizing in the gutter refers to the current condition of Garusis.
Galusis once gave a black slime to Lorain, which was Garusis's doppelganger. Just because he was going to go to King Ace City with Garucis this time, Loran temporarily handed over the black slime to Camilla for safekeeping...... As for why it was handed over to her and not someone else, it was naturally because her sense of existence was low enough, and even if something happened, she was undoubtedly the one who was most likely to survive.
This particular clone doesn't have any attack power, and at first glance it doesn't look like a normal slime other than its color...... But once Gallusis' body is destroyed, this doppelganger can quickly grow a new body from the material, and there will be no weak reaction. In addition, another role of the clone is to replace the position of the main body and the clone at a critical moment, so as to achieve the role of strategic retreat and resist a fatal damage.
Originally, Garusis could have directly used a clone to take damage instead of himself, but in this way, Loran would definitely not be able to survive the explosion...... She's an extremely rare perceptual talent, and it's not worth the loss to die like this.
In the end, Gallusis used his tentacles to save her, while he was unprepared for the explosion at close range.
As a result, Loren survived, but Garusis hung up.
"But at least I know that Loraine's perception ability is not omnipotent at this stage, at least those traps that are not arranged through magic. ”
Galusis, who was full of **, took the clothes from Camilla's hand and put them on, completely ignoring the other party's expression of wanting to see it but being a little embarrassed.
It didn't take long for the nightingale to return.
"Where's Lorraine, didn't you get her back?" Galusis instructed the Nightingale to bring Lorrain back from the ruins of the palace's jewel exhibition hall, but now Nightingale has returned and is nowhere to be seen.
Nightingale was ashamed of Garusis's question: "I'm sorry master, but when I went, I found that the ruins of the exhibition hall had been sealed off by a magical barrier, and it was impossible to sneak in. ”
After listening to the nightingale's answer, Garucis fell into a brief silence...... Then, he smiled.
“...... I see, it turned out to be like this. ”
The Blackwings used alchemy to settle the kingdom in chaos, and since then alchemists have become the most popular profession in Anstaro, and the royal family of Anstaro will naturally not be exposed to alchemy...... However, the long years will always bury some history, especially the black history that some people deliberately hide.
The so-called alchemists, knights are just some spellcasters who have found another way because of their own lack of talent.
The rise of the alchemist came after the Wizard Revolution, and before that, the alchemist profession was usually inseparable from the titles of monsters, madmen, and demons in human skin. It's just because the vast majority of alchemists at that time were unscrupulous for the purpose of research, and they had no bottom line as human beings at all, no matter how crazy the experiment was, they would go back and try it as long as they were interested.
It's just that the time difference is too big, and the world is full of all kinds of alchemy items for daily life, I thought that those alchemists had already transformed, but I didn't expect it...... Hehe.
Obviously, as a monster that has disappeared for thousands of years, it is naturally very valuable for research.
Originally, Garusis thought that if he successfully obtained the Seal Bead, he would let the city go, but now it is obviously impossible.
......
The Messiah, who had returned to the King of Ace, was stunned when he looked at the jewelry exhibition hall that had been reduced to ruins.
He had just gone to see King George, but the other party regretfully told him that the sealing bead had been taken away by the Demon King Garusis, and even Ah Xuzi had been captured by the Demon King.
At the same time, King George expressed his disappointment at the Messiah's imminent escape, and at the same time euphemistically said: If you hadn't left at that time, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened!
"Mr. Messiah, your face looks terrible...... If you have anything on your mind, please don't hold it in your heart, it will make you more uncomfortable. Arya sensed the change in the Messiah's mood, and she dared to speak, "But if Mr. Messiah doesn't mind, can you make me the one you talk to?"
"No, it's okay, it's just a little tired. The Messiah shook his head and smiled reluctantly.
Tell Alia that because I delayed my original mission to save you, not only was the seal bead taken away by the Demon King, but even Ah Xuzi, who had been helping him, was taken away? If you really say that, with Arya's surname, you will definitely fall into self-blame, which is not the result that Messiah wants.
As the Messiah sighed, a question came to mind.
[Why did the Demon King Garusis capture Ah Xuzi?]
......
[This is the ...... Where?】
Lorain looked dazed, staring blankly at the ceiling. The fluorescent magic lights on the ceiling emitted a cold fluorescent glow, making her shiver.
“...... Remove the arm. Suddenly, an indifferent female voice came into her ears.
Before Loren could react, a sharp pain suddenly came from his left shoulder. The pain caused physical spasms, and the pupils constricted to the size of pinheads...... Lorain wanted to scream, but unfortunately she couldn't scream now, because her mouth had already been gagged.
"Did it stop bleeding automatically...... I see, this is the high-speed recovery ability of monsters. I just don't know how long it will take to grow an arm...... Well, let's go check out another test item during this time. ”
