Chapter 3: The Council of Sauron
The carriage was bumpy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Alfred's castle became farther and farther away and finally disappeared from the vision of the Qin Dynasty, the turmoil in Qin Dynasty's heart gradually subsided, and he looked at the interior of the carriage at will, only to find that the decoration in the carriage was simply extravagant, from the floor to the top, all of them were covered by dark red and gold velvet carpets, not to mention, and there was even a small desk and a stove next to the gorgeous little bed at the end of the carriage, which really made Qin Chao have to sigh that even if it was just a carriage, it was much more comfortable than the bedroom in his previous life.
He smiled at himself with a complicated expression, not thinking too much about whether it was his luck or misfortune that brought him a luxurious life and a so-called aristocratic status, but while retracting his gaze from the carriage, he also began to seriously consider what he should do or could do in his current situation.
It is not denied that the Qin Dynasty is still helpless about the situation he is facing at this time, but seeing the black stone tablet, and looking at these knights who are closely following his carriage, he will of course also have some courage to fight against suffering and desperate situations, although this courage may be insignificant, but this is indeed the foundation of strength to support him all the way forward at the moment.
The first thing he thought about was how he could survive and his Alfred if he eventually had to take on the responsibility of fending off the Lich invasion.
And the reason why he considered this first was actually because of the character of the Qin Dynasty, in his previous life, he had always been an out-and-out pessimist, no matter what he did, he was also used to preparing for the worst, so he would not expect the nobles of Sauron City to generously give even a trace of sympathy or mercy to his brothers and sisters.
However, when the Qin Dynasty really began to think about this matter, he suddenly noticed one of the doubts - yes, it is true that one family alone cannot resist the invasion of the Lich, but the question is, why did all the previous families responsible for the aftermath completely disappear and no longer exist?
This is unrealistic, and the Qin Dynasty categorically does not believe that those nobles all selflessly chose to live and die with their families without hesitation.
And what about those who survived?
He subconsciously expressed this doubt.
In the carriage, like his strict standing posture, old Vernon sat with his hands flat on his legs and was also very upright, he heard his adult's question, but did not answer, and even his expression did not change in the slightest, still just looked at Qin Chao calmly and silently-this is not surprising, in fact, old Vernon also knew very well that as long as the so-called Sauron meeting was seriously considered, this question could be easily discovered, and he was very willing to believe that he did not need to answer it, his adult could find the answer to this question from it.
Sure enough, almost as soon as he showed his doubts, Qin Chao quickly thought of the answer to the question, his expression was instantly complicated, there was shock and awakening, of course, more anger, he narrowed his eyes and muttered: "It turns out that this so-called Sauron meeting is not just to resist the invasion of the lich, the lich is just a sword in the hands of the nobles, I am really curious who initiated this Sauron meeting." ”
Old Vernon still didn't speak.
In fact, no matter which family is responsible for resisting the invasion of the lich, even if it survives the tide of the lich in the end, the result can only be a great damage to the strength and death, then in this case, to face a new round of invasion and partition of the nobles who retreated and returned, what awaits them can only be destruction. And from the fact that the families that have always resisted the lich no longer exist, the Qin Dynasty can easily deduce that these nobles who survived by luck are completely useless even if they choose to give in and choose to surrender, and those nobles who return will definitely not leave the seeds of hatred, and they will inevitably cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
And this is the true meaning of the existence of the Council of Sauron, to exclude dissent.
Thinking of this, the Qin Dynasty became heavier and heavier, and he finally understood that his biggest and deadliest enemy was no longer the northern lich in front of him, but the nobles of the wasteland.
......
He didn't hesitate any longer, and looked up at old Vernon, his eyes were extremely determined: "I need information about all the families in the wasteland, as well as the preferences, personalities, etc., the more detailed the better." ”
Old Vernon got up immediately, as if he was not surprised by his adult's request at all, but under Qin Chao's puzzled gaze, he pushed the wheelchair in front of Qin Chao and said: "When Lord Earl was busy in the past, he used to carry some commonly used documents and materials with him, so the materials you need are all in the desk. ”
Qin Chao nodded suddenly, with the help of old Vernon, he struggled to sit back in the wheelchair, during this period, he inevitably realized again that he didn't even have the ability to stand at this time, undoubtedly, this made his originally slightly excited mood lower again, so obvious that even old Vernon clearly noticed his mood changes.
It can be seen that old Vernon didn't intend to speak, but when he pushed the wheelchair to the desk, he finally couldn't help but whisper: "My lord, your legs may be due to injuries, please believe that when your injuries heal and your fighting spirit gradually recovers, your legs will definitely recover." ”
Vindictive.
This word made Qin Chao subconsciously raise his eyebrows, he accepted the memory of this life, of course he knew that Dou Qi itself was an important power system on the Holy Continent, and his body not only cultivated Dou Qi since he was a child, but to some extent he could even be called a genius, he had the power of Level 3 Dou Qi at the age of only 17 years old, which was really not a common thing in the Abandoned Wasteland.
However, it is quite a pity that since he woke up from the Qin Dynasty, he has not felt the existence of Dou Qi at all, I don't know if it is because he was too seriously injured, or because he is no longer the former Alfred heir after crossing over, the vague Dou Qi power in his memory seems to have nothing to do with him anymore, and he can't feel the so-called Dou Qi at all.
This naturally made Qin Chao feel extremely depressed, but compared to his current situation, this frustration was indeed insignificant. Therefore, he did not mention this matter to his old butler, and at the same time, he did not intend to mention this matter, the reason, firstly, because it was unnecessary, and secondly, considering Alfred's current desperate situation, Qin Chao had to worry that if the people around him knew that he would probably not be able to control any power from now on, would the little confidence that he brought to Alfred due to his sudden awakening disappear again.
As for his legs, to be honest, Qin Chao was not too worried, after all, this was a fantasy world with magic and fighting spirit, and the priest of the Bright Sect in his memory had the ability to almost come back to life, so it was not impossible for him to regain the ability to stand on his legs.
Therefore, old Vernon's words, Qin Chao only smiled bitterly and did not respond.
Old Vernon pushed him to the desk, then bent down to ask for instructions, then opened the first drawer of the desk, pointed to the neatly stacked documents in the drawer, he explained to the Qin Dynasty, here are the information of the various families in the wasteland, as well as some hidden events of the helmsmen of each family; Since the Earl has always attached great importance to this information, it has not been interrupted in the past three months. After a pause, after he had roughly explained the information in the three drawers of the desk, he faced the Qin Dynasty's puzzled expression and said softly: "My lord, no matter which family in the wasteland, basically all generations have a common goal, that is, to return to the empire, so these materials, it is safe to say that each family will try their best to be perfect." ”
Qin Chao nodded lightly, his face remained silent.
But contrary to his apparent calmness, he was really quite surprised, not that he was surprised by the ultimate goal of all the families in the wasteland, in fact, wanting to escape from this barren and cold wasteland was a normal thing in itself, Qin Chao's real surprise was the details of the information in front of him. If Alfred had these materials before the attack, he would not be surprised, but you must know that Alfred had just suffered a tragic attack, and his father, Count Alfred, was killed on the spot, so how did Alfred ensure the continuation of this information in the past 3 months?
For the first time, the Qin Dynasty felt that his Alfred was not as simple as it seemed.
However, this issue was not important at this time after all, and the Qin Dynasty did not pursue this issue too much, he only reached out and placed the materials in the first drawer on the desk after old Vernon stepped back slightly.
The first thing he opened was the city of Sauron, the documents of the Sauron family, and the title page was written with Sauron's family motto:
"We hope for light, but it is darkness, and we look for light, but we walk in darkness. ”
