Chapter 24: A Call for Help
Before the meeting was completely over, a panicked young man ran out of the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his name is Chris, and he has a handsome and handsome face. His long black hair reached his waist, his bangs in front were scattered on both sides, and his eyes were as clear as water, as if he could speak.
He was originally Brandt's personal bodyguard, the lowest position among those attending meetings. If it weren't for the fact that he had the best relationship with Brandt, and that the Dark King mentioned Brandt at his annual meeting, he might not have been qualified to attend the meeting at the royal palace at all. So he slipped out early, and no one noticed at all.
I saw him turn a few corners with ease, and then ran to a secluded place at the back door of the palace. He looked around and made sure no one was passing by before he carefully removed the communication bead from his pocket.
It is a device that looks like an ordinary transparent glass sphere, but when it is injected with energy, it can be used for interstellar communication. In a set of two, one side injects energy, and the beads of the other side will glow.
The golden light in Chris's beads shimmered slightly, proving that the other half of the holders were requesting communication. He held the bead on his left hand and slowly injected dark energy into it with his other hand, and Alex's image gradually appeared in the bead. As soon as Chris saw Alex on the communication bead, his expression immediately became serious.
"Lord Alex, it's been a long time, are you all right?"
"I'm fine, I've found out Brandt's whereabouts here, I need you to come and help me now, and we have to make sure we can subdue him when we find him.
"Haha, that's great! I can't wait for it to pass, I'm going to suffocate to death after spending all day with a bunch of old men here!"
"The portal he opened is in Wolfsburg, and if you go there, say it's a favor for me, and they'll let you through, and then come to the Dawn Demon Hunters in El Salin to find me. Remember, you don't want the Dark King and anyone else from the Dark Clan to know about this time, understand?"
"Don't worry, they don't care about me at all. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The Dark King just ordered......" Chris was about to continue, when he suddenly heard footsteps from the side, so he hurriedly disconnected the link to the communication bead.
Before he could put away the communication beads, an angry old man walked up to him, and Chris fixed on it, and it was Archbishop Dalvin of the Dark Clan.
"Big ...... Archbishop, why are you back?"
"Communication beads?" the archbishop's eyes were sharp, and he could see the beads in his hand at a glance. "If you don't have a meeting inside, who will you talk to?"
"Small talk with a friend, hey, small talk. Chris coped with a hippie smile, hoping to get by.
But the archbishop was so wise that he snatched the communication bead away.
"Since it's a bead for small talk, then you can buy another set and give it to your friend, and the beads will be confiscated. ”
"Hey, don't, archbishop, this set of communication beads is a lot of money, aren't you robbing it openly?"
"Chris!"
The archbishop broke off, so frightened that Chris instantly put away his hippie smile, he didn't know why the archbishop suddenly attacked, he was rarely seen in such an angry state.
"Bishop...... What's wrong with you?"
"I'll ask you. Delvin raised his finger and pointed at him in a trembling reproach. "The Dark King ordered the expedition, why didn't you stop it?"
Chris was stunned by the question, and it took a long time to sort out the answer.
"Bishop, you're not kidding, I'm just a bodyguard, where in the hall is I qualified to speak. Besides, if I say it, it's no different from a fart, what can I change?"
"Eating the food of the Dark Clan and receiving the salary of the Dark Clan, you have to pay everything for the Dark Clan! Being soft-spoken is not a reason for you to evade your responsibilities! Letting you participate in the meeting is for you to speak and make suggestions, not for you to sneak out and conspire with Alex!"
"Yes, yes, what you are educating is...... But how do you know I'm talking to Lord Alex?"
"The whole Dark Star is the only one who can use the Holy Energy, I'm old, but I'm not blind yet!" Delvin held up the communication bead, only to see the faint golden light on it flickering constantly, and it seemed that Alex kept calling on the other side.
Chris blushed and lowered his head, speechless.
"With the strength of the whole clan and the attack on the Holy Star, who came up with this ghost idea?"
According to the spokesman, it was the Dark King and the Overseer who consulted. ”
"Dutar is loyal and will only do what he is told. The Dark King, though belligerent, is now old, and the coffin is half in it. The whereabouts of the Dark Prince and Alex are uncertain, how could he choose to send troops at this time? This must have been someone secretly instigating the Dark King!"
"There's a strange woman coming to today's meeting, named Sonica. Claiming to be the master of beasts, I think she's a charming little goblin, and if you want to instigate the Dark King, I think she has her part!"
"Where's Tuca, is he suspicious?"
"Don't say it, we both hate Tuka, but this guy should have nothing to do with it, and today he plans to use the Poison Lamin affair to complete the Overseer, and it seems that he doesn't know anything about this plan. ”
Delvin nodded slightly, already having a plan in his mind.
"If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go first. Master Alex says he's almost found Brandt, and I'll help him bring the Dark Prince back. ”
"Where did you find it?"
"It was said that it was on another planet, called the Repair Gate Star, and the lord said that the portal opened by Brant was in Wolfsburg, so let me go there immediately. ”
"Well...... Go ahead, if you can find the Dark Prince at this time, everything will not be in chaos. Bring me a message to Alex, and if anything happens to the Dark Clan, I'll use this bead to contact him. Let him not worry, and be sure to bring back the Dark Prince with all his might. ”
"Understood. With that, Chris turned and ran out the back door, heading in the direction of Wolfsburg.
Delvin hurried to the royal hall, and the guards along the way saluted respectfully when they saw him, which showed the archbishop's position above ten thousand people under the Dark Clan. But everyone actually knows that this position is only in name, in fact, the archbishop is a fictitious position, not in power or in charge of the army, his daily work is to spread the doctrine, preside over the church, to put it bluntly, to do ideological work, to stabilize the hearts of the dark people.
There were many steps in front of the palace, and the aged Delvin was no longer able to exert his form, so he could only stagger step by step. A guard tried to come and help him, but he smiled and refused. At this moment, the gate of the palace opened, and everyone walked out, as if the meeting had been dismissed. This also means that he has no chance to meet the Dark King this year.
In the midst of the crowd, he saw Tuka and a woman walking towards him.
"Yo, isn't this the archbishop that we all admire! What's the matter?" Tuka said sarcastically, and Sonica sneered cooperatively.
"Where, it's not as majestic as Lord Tuka, and you dare to bring a female companion to a meeting with the Dark King!"
"Oh no, I don't think you know, let me introduce you, this is Sonica, a beast tamer hired by the Dark King. ”
"It turned out to be a dog walker. The archbishop's face was hidden under the black cloak, and no one could see his expression, but a majesty could be heard in his tone. "I heard your name earlier, and some people commented that you are a charming little goblin, and now I see it with my own eyes, and sure enough. It's just that I really admire Lord Tuka's acting skills, even the Dark King thought that you had nothing to do with this Sonica, but I didn't expect the two of them to stick together as soon as they stepped out of the door, it's really amazing, it's amazing. ”
Sonica could hear the smell of gunpowder, but she wasn't annoyed. She rolled her eyes and approached the archbishop with a very provocative and seductive stride like a model. He bent over and pointed his chest straight at the gray-haired old man, his red lips whispering in his ear. "Lord Bishop, the big battle is coming, you have to choose your team!
Delvin smiled slightly, more than two hundred years of experience made him hear the sound of the strings at once. He pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "I, the archbishop, have a great reputation and little ability. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, I've lived for more than 200 years, can I still not understand this truth?"
"Hahahaha, the bishop is really a smart man. Tuka waved his hand at Sonica, who meekly ran over and walked with him towards the palace gate.
Delvin watched the two leave, looked down at the communication bead in his hand, and sneered:
It's a pity, it's a pity you're not that big tree.
