Section 10: The Culprit (Part II)
At the head of the city, Prince Pfister slowly turned his attention to the corner of the parapet on the left. The cold air on the -g mask gradually subsides and returns to its original metallic color.
In the midst of laughter, a tall and elegant middle-aged man turned out of the corner, his face was full of smiles, his eyes were clear, and the wooden cane above his head tapped the ground and was walking towards this side.
The white-robed middle-aged man stopped ten steps away from the prince, and on his plain white robe, a delicate pattern of stars in the sky was embroidered on his chestβthe special mark of the twelve apostles of the Glorious Church
The middle-aged man's apostolic identity is undoubted.
"In the blink of an eye, ten years later, the teenager has grown up. He looked at Pfister carefully, and his voice was soft: "Pfister-kun, fortunately." β
"It's not a good luck, it's been a long time. Pfister's attitude was rather cold: "The people of the West Coast don't recognize the gods of the church, why did Your Excellency the Apostle come to Yintao City?"
"By chance. The middle-aged man was full of compassion: "I was shocked to hear that there was an entanglement in the city, and I was afraid that my people would be hurt, so I came here to persuade him." β
Anyone with a brain knows that this is a lie, but people say it lightly, coupled with the fact that it is not leaky, kind and kind, which makes people feel tight, short of breath and powerless to refute it.
"Have you persuaded me?" Pfister didn't dwell on the other party's lies, and asked in a flat tone, "What is the effect?"
Although neither of us is a believer in our God, the true God sees the world in one way, so as an apostle, we must do our best to eliminate misunderstandings. The apostle smiled, then shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity...... The language barrier is really powerless. β
Most of the coalition forces under the city have recovered from the extreme slump, and almost everyone is paying attention to the movements of the city. After listening to the apostles, they all felt like they were taking a live lesson called "How to Lie in Plain Truth."
There are those who are stammering, those who are red-faced, and those who are strange...... Although the apostle is the thigh above, this lie is too blatant, right?
"I've seen the two apostles," Townsend turned to Gotha, "and they're all so virtuous?"
"We have obviously met the best, and even if the other apostles do great bad things, they still have to be nodden. Gotha had pinched more than one bag of communication stones, but he never received a response: "This one, who became an apostle at a very young age, is still an apostle despite being the last in the ranks." So he is very proud and brutal. β
"Ten years ago, he was beaten by the old sage of Yintao City in front of the public because of something, and then he became gentle and polite...... Many people know this. As he spoke, Gotha crushed the last communication stone: "I don't think it's a good thing for him to come today." β
"Are you nervous?" Townsend looked at him with fine beads of sweat on his head: "No matter how brutal the apostle is, he will never move, right?"
"If it's really ugly, will he keep us to preach for him? Even if he forgets us, the Glorious Church won't agree. Gotha sighed and explained with a wry smile: "We are not characters above the fifth level. β
"Sir, I know you have a lot of ideas, you quickly think, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as it's useful......" Gotha took out all kinds of small bits and pieces and kept putting them on his body: "If I am right, the apostle is here to take revenge today, not only is we in a bad situation, but I am afraid that there will be no few people left on the side of the coalition in the end." β
At the head of the city, the confrontation between the prince and the apostle continued.
"Why don't you go, even if persuasion doesn't work?" said Prince Pfister, breathing heavily.
"I was going to leave, but when I saw Pfister-kun from afar, old things surfaced and I stopped for a while. The middle-aged man took a few steps closer, and his laughter and smile changed, gradually different from just now: "I have good wine, and I am willing to share it with you." β
Prince Pfister immediately noticed that the other party's temperament had changed, and the light on his mask was flushed.
"Phew" little Lori spat on.
"Children can't taste wine. Be good, uncle will bring you a cake next time. The middle-aged man disagreed: "Pfister-kun, please." β
With the stroke of a long cane, a large stone table and two stone benches appeared between the two of them, and with another stroke, several sets of wine utensils and more than a dozen wine jugs appeared: "The world is vast, and the battle is in full swing, it is really a rare drinking scene." β
Pfister needed time to analyze the other party's intentions, so he replied coldly, "I don't like to drink." β
"Then drink water, drink tea, and talk casually. I don't know, but among the apostles, I'm kind of talkative. The apostle sat down first: "Come, come, this is a good wine that is hard to buy." β
The apostle's voice was soothing, and there was a kind smile on his face. The jade flask is tilted, and the clear juice reverberates in the glass, and the elegant aroma is mixed with the strong smell of blood.
"Please taste, chilled Arctic Dust. The apostle pushed the glass to the prince's side, "This wine has a little secret, as long as it is chilled, it is very effective in relieving the pain of the dragon's heart. β
"Dragonheart?" Fest's voice remained the same, but he was surprised in his heart - although the Dragon's Heart was poison, it was very rare, and he had bought this bag by accident outside Yintao City more than a year ago.
"Yes, it's something in Pfister-kun's hand, and I can smell it two hundred miles away. I also know that you have made a difficult choice...... This is a good thing, if you eat one or two grains, you will be able to go into battle and kill the enemy, but from now on, you will not be a level 5 ability master, and you will not be able to make any progress......"
"Pfister-kun is really kind, and he is willing to downgrade them for the sake of the safety of these people, and I will definitely be reluctant to change them - have you really thought about it?" the apostle talked eloquently, and the smile on his face was sweeter than honey: "Pfister-kun is so decisive, and he is a drag on the genius Yintao City"
Pfister's body stiffened, and there were shocking bright red lines flying across his mask: "You have a good nose, but your brain is not good enough." β
"It's okay, Pfister-kun can continue, I won't be angry. But the apostle smiled and said, "Do you see that I am angry when your grandfather beat me up ten years ago for a reason I can't remember at all?"
"I remember you were on your knees, vomiting blood, smiling all over your face, and seemed to be enjoying it. The bright red lines on Pfister's masquerade intensified, constantly provoking the apostle with words.
However, the apostle did not give him a chance.
"Honestly, this kind of thing is certainly not enjoyable. When something big happens, there is no way out, and if you want to live, you can't be entangled, let alone hesitate."
"Everything ten years ago, I was willing, because I knew that I was weak, and your grandfather was too strong to even be able to stop Ingmar, who was known as the master of supernatural powersβif today, the old sage was here, I would not say anything, just kneel down for him. β
"Even if the ground is covered with nails, even if the entire Radiant Church is watching, I will not hesitate at all."
"So, if Pfister-kun wants to make a choice, he must be willing. You have to learn to overcome this obstacle. The apostle changed his bitter look: "Speaking of which, this small bag of dragon's heart was still obtained by me with great painstaking efforts and brought to Yintao City to be sold, especially for Pfister-kun."
"You?" Pfister couldn't believe it.
"More than a year ago, Pfister-kun bought it outside the city, right?" the apostle smiled leisurely: "I have prepared eight bags, there are people waiting for you to come to the door from all sides of Yintao City, and the people who follow you and the people who report the news are all professionals who have been invited at a high price, and they have to be silenced when they are done...... Pfister-kun, I work so hard, do you understand?"
"You're the culprit?" The red lines on the surface of the mask burst into flames, and Pfister was about to step forward.
"Fest-kun doesn't have a bloodline yet, right?" the apostle glanced at him lightly: "A lone seedling, you have to be calm in trouble." β
"You" Pfister held his breath, his brand-new robe trembled slightly, and he didn't take this step after all......
"That's right, even if you can't help but want to do it, you have to wait for me to finish speaking, otherwise I will hide the bitterness of the past ten years in my heart, and I will be very suffocated, this is not hospitality. Speaking of which, I heard a poem from the bishop not long ago, and I have changed a version of it, and I am reading it to you."
"You eat it or not, the dragon's heart is there, hahahahahaha
At this moment, a kind of madness, a kind of excitement burst out of the apostle's body. The strange atmosphere at the head of the city is beyond words to describe.
While the two of them exchanged words at the head of the city, the two sides under the city were also busy.
The young master and the coalition army went through several twists and turns, and once fell to the point of admitting defeat to Townsend. But after the thigh called the apostle was poked into the city+ passion, they pulled up again, and before their self-confidence was stronger, they almost overflowed - the thighs on the city were really thick
After reinvigorating the morale, the siege formation of the coalition army was very heroic, they prepared 80,000 men, selected the tactic of flying on both wings, and set the attack points on the left and right sides of the tower, and for the thorn rose not far away, they also threw out an attack array of 10,000 people, composed entirely of scattered troops from the interior.
On the Thorn Rose side, the situation is very bad - the advantage that Townsend has regained with great effort and bloody struggle is wiped out at the moment when the apostle appears
However, no matter how aggrieved this breath was, Townsend had to swallow it.
The past is vivid, and Townsend is well aware of the horror of the apostles. At the moment, these 2,000-strong troops, Beauty, Vahu and even Gotha, keep them purely to add food to people. Therefore, Townsend secretly divided the troops into ten, equipped them with enough officers, and strictly ordered them to run away with their troops as long as the battle started here.
"It's the most important thing to stay alive"
Turning around, Townsend tore open the small package that Miss Wenli had handed him and divided the contents among Beauty, Vahu, and Gotha. He even gave them the few items he had left from Sky City.
The situation has developed to the point of fighting to the death, and there is no point in hiding it.
