Chapter Ninety-Three: The Bewitched Lord
At nightfall, the entire Dragon City fell into the tranquility of the curfew again, and only the place where the nobles of Dongcheng District gathered was lit up and lively.
It's like a paradise in a curfew city, full of drunken wealth and freedom, which only the aristocracy is entitled to.
Almost all of the creatures who can enter this area are either rich or noble, whether they are the descendants of the heroes of the Republic, the wealthy business elite, or the mechanics who have received special awards, they are all members of the new nobility of the Republic today, although they have always claimed to be different from the nobles of the old empires of the past, but in fact they are addicted to the pleasure of drunkenness.
Not only Dragon City, but also in almost every city on the eastern and western continents, there is such a small circle of nobles.
Tonight's night banquet for the nobles of Dragon City is destined to be an extraordinary banquet, which may determine the fate of Dragon City in the future.
Some of the guys lurking in the shadows of Dragon City have always paid close attention to all the movements of the night banquet, and seem to be ready to strike when necessary.
The pig-headed man was dressed in a costume that symbolized the status of the lord, and at that time the republic had a special uniform for each lord.
The uniform looks a lot like a military uniform, with delicate hammer and wrench patterns embroidered on the chest.
On the back of the uniform, a huge gear pattern is embroidered, and the cuffs and neckline are also full of mechanical lines.
In such a lord's costume, almost every detail shows the root of the republic, which is machinery.
Despite the fact that the pig-headed man is very fat and has a bloated body like a ball of meat, he can easily put on the lord's costume.
This is because this lord's costume is actually a special mechanical garment, and it is said that the material used to make the garment is a fabric fused with Maneng gold.
And when each lord wears this garment, it is equivalent to obtaining a special magic machine made by the Republic.
This can also be regarded as a symbol of the power of the lords in various parts of the republic, and it is also a blessing for the strength of the lords.
To the pig-headed man, he hadn't worn it in a long time, since he had designed to send his former lord to prison.
He managed to seize the position of Lord of Dragon City, and he almost never touched the garment, except when greeting the Führer's envoy.
In the eyes of others, this lord's garment may symbolize power and strength, but in the eyes of the pig-headed man, this garment is a bondage.
Sitting in a wooden wheelchair, facing the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him, he saw himself in the mirror and Barot in the same costume behind him.
The pig-headed man opened his mouth and said, "Do you know why, I have rarely worn this dress for so many years?"
Barot had actually heard about the special clothes of the city lord a long time ago, and even in Barot's eyes, this dress was simply a treasure.
But from the pig-headed man's tone, Barot felt that this dress seemed to be very terrible in the eyes of the pig-headed man.
Barot shook his head a little puzzled: "I'm sorry, my lord, I don't know. ”
The pig-headed man sneered and said: "As the lord of a city, it seems that he has gained the power to dominate one side, but in fact it is not like that, within the republic, the struggle between factions is immortal, and the three parties of the Führer, the Holy See and the Parliament are also fighting openly and secretly, and the lord of any city will become a thorn in the side of all forces." ”
"When everyone else is staring at you, you have to be careful with your every move, and if you are not careful, you may be crushed. ”
After tidying up the clothes on his body, the pig-headed man finally said: "So this clothes, while representing power, are also a kind of bondage. ”
Seeing in the mirror that Barot was silent, the pig-headed man smiled and asked, "Do you know why, I didn't continue to let you track down the assassin?"
When Barot heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then immediately relieved himself and said, "My lord, it is the subordinates who are not doing well, and they have not captured the assassin so far." ”
The pig-headed smiled kindly and waved his hand: "No, actually, I already knew that the assassin was hidden by Suluru. ”
When Barot was stunned, the pig-headed man spoke again, "And, as I know, the Assassin went to that prison later." ”
This sentence made Barot's heart startled, and he almost exclaimed, and asked calmly: "You, how do you know?"
The pig-headed man flicked his fingers, and an evil tentacle appeared, and as he stroked the evil tentacles, the pig-headed man said, "Have you forgotten? ”
It was only at this time that Barot suddenly realized that the nun's whereabouts had always been under the control of the pig-headed people.
But after thinking about it, Barot felt that it was wrong, because if the pig-headed man had been controlling the nun's whereabouts, then why didn't he arrest Bao Mianmian?
The pig-headed man silently endured the tentacles of evil energy to burrow back into his body, and sighed, "You must be wondering, why didn't I arrest the person who harbored the nun?"
Without waiting for Barot to respond, the pig-headed man asked himself, "It's not that I don't want to get her back, it's that I haven't found out where she's hidden until she's in prison." ”
The pig-headed man shook his head and said, "Moreover, I don't really want to catch that nun, because she is just a little pawn who is not to worry about. ”
"Come to think of it, a guy who came across the sea like that and attacked the city hall like that is a fool at all. ”
"I originally wanted to use that fool to lure out more guys lurking in Dragon City, but unfortunately, it seems that there are smarter guys who have tricked me and confused my vision. ”
At this moment, Barot thought of Sululu again, and he was now thinking, could it be that Sululu had actually calculated everything a long time ago?
After thinking about it, Barot dismissed this idea, because judging by Sululu's performance of wanting to save the nun.
He didn't know the pig-headed man's background at the beginning, and the reason why he wanted to save the nun at that time was, in Barot's opinion, purely for the sake of multiple helpers.
It's just that what happened later, somewhat unexpectedly, Suluru inadvertently crashed into the game that the pig-headed man had laid for the Grand Paladin of the Inquisition.
According to the pig-headed man's thoughts at the time, it seems that he wanted to use Barot to steal the mana gold, and take the opportunity to secretly solve the Grand Paladin of the Inquisition.
Then let the pig-headed people of his clan take the place of the Great Paladin and enter the Inquisition to lurk.
Secretly find out some of the forces lurking in the Holy See in Dragon City, after all, the pig-headed people believe in evil gods, and if they want to start an incident, the biggest threat is still from the Holy See.
Only by completely eradicating the Holy See's power in Dragon City will the pig-headed people be able to swagger and use the power given to them by the evil gods.
However, Sululu's unexpected intrusion disrupts the pig-headed man's plan, and the pig-headed man is immediately arrested by Suluru, who is considered to be an inspector of the Holy See.
On the one hand, they want to use the impostor of the pig-headed Lotsa, and on the other hand, they want to take advantage of the contradictions between the Holy See and the Führer.
Send Sululu, who is identified as an inspector, to the Führer's envoy, continue to exchange for the Führer's trust and support, and when the Führer's envoy leaves, he can use the Imperial Army to attack, break the seal of the abyss, release the evil gods in the abyss, and use the power of the evil gods to solve the Imperial army, and the entire Hog-headed clan can take advantage of the situation to rise.
The pig-headed man calmly recounted some of his thoughts, almost exactly as Barot had secretly guessed, and Barot couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
If it weren't for the pig-headed people's plan for the evil god, they didn't want to expose too many things in advance, and wanted to use Sululu's patrol identity to make some trades.
I am afraid that by the time he broke into the slaughterhouse that day, Barot had already been slaughtered as cattle along with Suluru.
The pig-headed man finally said helplessly: "It's a pity that the Imperial fleet came early, and I can't use the evil energy corps now." ”
Speaking of this, the pig-headed man suddenly turned the wooden wheelchair in a circle, stared at Barlow with a serious gaze and asked, "Tonight is critical, can I trust you?"
Faced with the pig-headed man's questioning, Barot was also under pressure, and finally responded calmly: "Barot will serve you as a dog and horse." ”
