Chapter 116: Salvation and Sacrifice
The hall fell silent suddenly,
Baron Jasmine glared at Boris, his face pale, and he didn't say a word. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Boris did not show weakness, eating the grapes slowly, and looked at the disgusting aristocrat with a playful expression.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and time seemed to stop at this moment, except for the faint sound of breathing, and the sound of Boris chewing and swallowing.
Barrett opened her mouth, trying to lighten the mood, but didn't know what to say. Boris did go a little too far, and although Baron Jasmine's words were indeed offensive, they were their employers after all, and they were the ones who suffered if they were in trouble. But he couldn't open his mouth to reprimand Boris, he knew this guy's character very well, and being able to resist not opening a bloody hole in Baron Jasmine was already Boris's biggest concession.
I really shouldn't have brought him, Barrett thought.
Suddenly, Baron Jasmine's expression softened, he laughed twice, and leaned back on the sofa again.
"You can go, I've hired the Dawn mercenary group led by Albert. Baron Jasmine looked at Barriet and said calmly.
"Your Excellency, there is no such provision in the mission. Barrett frowned, and at the same time signaled Boris, who was about to open his mouth to retort, to shut up, he didn't want the relationship between the two sides to be completely deadlocked.
"Yes, there is no one in the mission. Baron Jasmine nodded.
"Then please pay me a deposit for the mission," Barrett said, "and a detailed copy of the mission." ”
"I'm not done yet. Baron Jasmine waved his hand and put on a smiling face, "Albert is not mentioned in the mission, but when you applied for the mission from the mercenary union, Albert was on the list of members. He slowly got up and walked over to Barritt and pointed to the silver Dawn crest. "If it weren't for Albert on the roster, I wouldn't have been looking for you barbarians. ”
"Even if Albert is not there, the Dawning Mercenary Corps is still up to the task. Barrett said firmly, his face a little ugly, if it weren't for the mission, he would definitely teach this annoying guy a hard lesson.
"It's not funny at all. Baron Jasmine raised an eyebrow and looked at Barriet's severed arm.
"I did lose an arm. Barrett said expressionlessly, suppressing the anger in his heart, "But I'm still a six-star martial artist." ”
"Ridiculous. Baron Jasmine scoffed, "Mr. Mighty Six-Star Warrior, do you know what you're up against?" he sneered unscrupulously, "That's a bandit group of over a thousand people, and the leader of these bandits is a golden warrior. ”
"You don't need to worry about it. Boris couldn't help but say.
"Yes, but I chose you because of Albert. Baron Jasmine said unceremoniously.
"Your Excellency, I wonder why you keep emphasizing Albert. Barriet patted Boris on the shoulder and looked at Baron Jasmine, "Albert is indeed the most important person in the Dawning Mercenary Regiment, but there are many excellent mercenaries in the Dawning Mercenary Regiment. Since you have chosen us, you should trust us. If you want to breach the contract, please also pay us the remuneration due to the contract. He said in a deep voice, a little forced.
"Yes, but I'll have to let Albert come. Baron Jasmine shrugged.
Barrett took a deep breath and glanced at Boris, both of whom saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
It seemed that Baron Jasmine was determined to see Albert, Barrett thought to himself, in fact, this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Since Albert passed the 'Death Trial', his reputation has skyrocketed, and he has even been hailed as Auston's first magical genius. It is also said that Albert is Buffia's first magical genius, because Albert was a Buffia before becoming a fugitive from Buffia's empire.
The second version, of course, comes from the Barfiya Empire.
Even the royal family of Buffia has issued a continental announcement that wants Albert to return to his home country.
Barrett once asked Albert if he would return to the Buffia Empire, to which Albert replied that Alston had his friends.
Seeing that the two were silent, Baron Jasmine waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest, "You can go, if Albert arrives, remember to let him come to see me." ”
"No, Your Excellency, we are not done yet. Barrett shook his head, "If we stay here, it will be a big expense, and you will have to be responsible for the damage caused during this time." ”
"Of course, wait for me. With that, he left the parlor and stepped up the stairs.
"Another guy who stammered Albert. Boris picked up another bunch of grapes and threw Barrett a berry.
"Perhaps. Barrett took the berry and looked up at the five-meter-high ceiling, "I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing." He lowered his voice and whispered with some concern, "He's so dazzling, everyone is paying attention to him, and Albert has a lot of powerful enemies, which makes me feel a little uneasy." People who are in the sun will inevitably ignore some of the dangers hidden in the shadows. ”

At this time, Albert was faced with a difficult choice.
For a week, he tried to track down the vampire's whereabouts, but the results were somewhat unsatisfactory.
More than two dozen villages along the route have been infested by vampires and are deserted. Not only that, from the analysis of the blood stains and footprints left behind, each time the other party left for no more than three days, it seems that the other party has already mastered his whereabouts, and is also deliberately teasing him.
Albert stood at the entrance of the village, staring at the beastly footprints, and his mood fell to the bottom.
In more than two dozen villages, at least a thousand people became werewolves.
The harsh reality lay in front of him, and Albert seemed a little overwhelmed.
He was annoyed that it was his incompetence and weakness that had hurt more people, and yes, he couldn't continue like this.
The matter must be reported to the Mage Guild, even if it may lead to a brutal slaughter of villagers who have turned into werewolves.
But his spirit was almost broken, and he didn't know how to stop the catastrophe except to report to the Mage Guild. It was only after a brutal blow that he realized how stupid his idea was. His strength is not enough to deal with such a situation, and even if he mobilizes the strength of the entire Dawn mercenary group, it will be difficult to find the vampires in the shadows. What's more, with the Dawn mercenary group, most of which are Terrans, who would dare to take on this arduous task?
If it weren't for the dragon's blood flowing in his body, Albert wouldn't dare to try it either.
That's right, reporting to the Mage Guild is the most correct, and sacrifice is inevitable in order to save more people.
He walked forward in a daze, constantly admonishing himself, trying to destroy the faith he worshipped, to extinguish the truth he insisted on.
"You're in a bad mood, I can tell. Shadow spoke, unhurriedly following Albert.
"What would you choose if you were you?" Albert paused, smiling wryly.
Ying looked at Albert without saying a word, trying to run the memory core, but still unable to understand the meaning of the other party's words.
"I see, thank you for your answer. Albert nodded in a daze, yes, maybe silence was a good idea to rid him of guilt.
Sharing the information with the Mage's Guild, then choosing silence and escaping, as shameful as this coward's behavior is, is better than suffering all day. No one is not selfish, Albert doesn't want to go crazy because of someone he has never met, he still has a lot of work to do.
