Chapter 64: The Hero's Lies
Barot led the surviving military police, carrying the body of the head of the pig-headed garrison, and quickly rushed towards the urban area of Dragon City.
Just as he was about to enter the city, Barot suddenly stopped all the military police under his command.
He said to all the military officers very seriously: "Remember, when you go back, you must treat the director of the hall as a hero." β
All the surviving military police were stunned, not quite understanding why Barot would say this?
Barot then said, "Let's say that the head of the hall was killed while fighting evil creatures. β
The surviving military officers who followed Barot looked at each other, and a bold High Elf military police stood up and said, "But section chief, this, this is not true. β
Barot said solemnly: "I know, I know this is not true, but this is the way to keep us alive. β
The military and police were still very puzzled, they didn't quite understand what Barot meant, they didn't understand why they returned to Dragon City, what danger would they have?
Barot wanted to tell the truth directly about the fact that the pig-headed man, the lord of Dragon City, was also a cultist of evil gods.
But right now, Dragon City is still under the control of the pig-headed people, and telling the truth will only cause panic, and even force the pig-headed people to kill them.
So Barot can't say that, he must continue to hide the facts, and intend to expose them after the FΓΌhrer's envoy arrives.
So Barot told a lie, a lie to all the military police, and used the lie to temporarily appease the military police.
Barot said with a solemn expression, "Have you ever thought about it? If we reveal the fact that the hall chief has been transformed into evil powers, then how can we come back alive? we will also be seen as a disguise that may be evil beings, we will be imprisoned as heretics, and we may even be directly executed, and most importantly, you must not forget that the hall chief is the heir of the lord." β
This half-truth and half-truth lie immediately shocked all the military and police.
The military police, who had already been frightened by today's experience, were all shocked when they pondered Barot's words.
Some of Barot's words were true, and they couldn't explain why they came back alive.
There is no way to prove that they are not evil, and the most important problem is that the head of the Security Agency is the heir of the lord.
The lord may blame them for the loss of his son, and then they are not destined to end well.
In the end, persuaded by Barot's lies, the surviving military police all agreed with Barot's approach.
So when they entered the urban area of Longcheng, all the military and police put on a sad look, almost crying and stepping into the urban area.
Such a scene immediately alarmed the people of Dragon City and attracted a large number of people to stop and watch.
Barot and the others walked all the way through most of the city, and finally entered the central city where the city hall was located, and came to the small square in front of the city hall.
In the small square, Barot tearfully recounted their story and treached the heroic deeds of the head of the garrison.
Those people in Dragon City who didn't know the facts were immediately infected by Barot's account, and many of them even shed tears.
The head of the pig-headed garrison, who was originally infected by evil energy, has become a hero who fights against evil creatures.
Even among the people of Dragon City, there were many people who took the initiative to implore the lord to apply for the reward of the Republic for the heroic deeds of the head of the Republic's garrison.
The mourning began amid the mourning in the square, and many people spontaneously came to the square to mourn the head of the garrison who bravely fought against evil creatures and finally gave his life.
The pig-headed lord was also pushed out, and the people could clearly see that the lord looked very haggard.
In the eyes of the people, they will think that it is caused by the pain of losing a child, which also makes many people more supportive of the lord.
Quietly watching the end of the memorial ceremony and watching the body of the head of the garrison department be incinerated, the military and police officers who survived all breathed a sigh of relief.
As Barot had said before, the Hog-headed Lord did not blame them, but rewarded them for their merits.
The surviving military police accepted the award and returned to their posts, and the experience was buried deep in their hearts.
Unlike the military police, Barot knew he had an even bigger test to go through.
As a true understanding, Barot also needs to face the torture of the lord, and if he fails to pass this level, he may lose his life directly.
After three days of apprehensive waiting, Barot was finally summoned by the Lord of the Hog-headed Lords, and after gathering his thoughts, he entered the backyard of the town hall alone.
At the back of the town hall building is a very quaint courtyard, where the lords have lived.
It is said that during the imperial era, it was once the royal residence of a royal family where the empire was stationed.
At the end of the Empire, before the Empire retreated overseas, Dragon City was the last residence of the Empire, and it was once inhabited by the Emperors of the Empire.
But that's all in the past, and now this quaint courtyard with a lot of ethnic architectural styles belongs to the pig-headed lords.
When Barot stepped into the courtyard, he saw the pig-headed lord sitting in a wooden wheelchair, under a large banyan tree in the courtyard.
Walking slowly to the big banyan tree, I felt the peace and tranquility in the courtyard, and the atmosphere that seemed to be in a different world.
Barot felt refreshed at this moment, as if his entire soul had been sublimated.
However, immediately afterward, the aura of evil energy suddenly erupted, and before Barot could react, he was restrained by the tentacles of evil energy that suddenly appeared on the ground.
The big banyan tree, which originally exuded a peaceful aura, became hideous in an instant, and its branches became distorted in a blink of an eye, also exuding an evil aura.
Barot watched in horror at the change of the Great Banyan Tree, and at the same time opened his mouth to beg the Hog-headed Lord for mercy, he did not want to be turned into evil powers.
But the tentacles of demonic energy continued to wrap around his body, and strangled his neck, preventing him from making any sound.
At this time, the pig-headed lord spoke: "Do you know? This banyan tree, which is said to be the sacred tree of the elven race, was specially transplanted when the empire retreated. β
After a pause, the pig-headed man continued: "Think about it, how rotten the empire was at the beginning, even if the country was ruined, he didn't forget to plunder everywhere, and he didn't give up to enjoy, this is the reason why the empire finally went to extinction, don't think that the empire retreated overseas, it can survive safely on the sea, and the first batch of imperial nobles who retreated to the sea were almost all buried on the sea." β
The tentacles of evil power slowly relaxed, and handed Barot to the Hog-headed Lord.
The pig-headed man looked at Barot and asked, "Do you know why the empire survived at sea?"
Barot looked at the Pig-headed Lord a little blankly, not quite understanding what the Pig-headed Man meant?
The pig-headed man smiled and said to Barot, "Because the empire made a deal with the evil god, and the evil god gave them a chance to survive. β
Barot's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing, because it had simply turned his notions upside down.
In order to survive at sea, the empire would actually trade with the evil gods in exchange for a chance to survive?
Seeing Barot's stunned appearance, the pig-headed man couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahaha, don't think it's incredible, it's a fact, you will understand in the future, but now, you have to make a choice, whether you want to throw yourself into the arms of the evil god, this is your only chance to live, I hope you don't say 'no', okay?"
