Chapter Ninety-One: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Will a magistrate who is about to blow someone's head out and even dare to blackmail a gang leader be a good person in the traditional sense?
Although Qi Xuansu is not a real baron, and he has no intention of delving into who is right and who is wrong between the baron and the councilor, he still plans to teach this guy a little lesson and surprise the snake once.
I saw Qi Xuansu stand up and lift Rose high with one hand, you must know that Rose was completely transformed by the "Alchemy Arcane", not so much a flesh and blood body, but a half steel body, its weight can be imagined, but Qi Xuansu did not take any effort, no different from lifting the back of Xiao Yin's neck.
Then Qi Xuansu's right hand grabbed his left arm and pulled it outward, accompanied by the heart-rending screams of the magistrate, a prosthetic arm was pulled out by Qi Xuansu with brute force, and the various metal pipes connected to it were directly torn off, and the large and small gears fell from the wound on the fracture surface, and there was no blood in it, only black water and steam.
Qi Xuansu threw his broken arm into the ground at the same time as the person, condescendingly.
Rose was shocked despite the severe pain.
Why is the Baron so powerful? Could it be that the rumor is true?
If he loses to the Baron after a hard battle, then Rose will not be so shocked, because his advantage over the leaders of the four gangsters is not in strength, but in identity, after all, he is a law enforcement officer recognized by the city council, and the city council is negligent in managing the lower district, not wanting to manage it, not not being unable to manage it, and there is no saying that the city council does not dare to enter the lower district. In this case, the leaders of the four major gangs are certainly not willing to clash with him head-on.
It's just that he never thought that the baron would completely crush him from the front, without the slightest fancy, and it was obvious that the baron did not use all his strength, and he had no strength to fight back.
This kind of power is far beyond the scope of his cognition, if the baron really has such strength, then there is no such thing as "four respected gentlemen", there will only be one lord in the lower town, and the baron is no longer a baron, perhaps the titles of "earl" and "duke" are more suitable for him.
Even His Royal Highness the Night King, who rules the Lower City.
And it's not just Ross who was shocked.
Also shocked was the old butler.
The old housekeeper personally took Qi Xuansu to the baron's mansion, and single-handedly handled the whole thing, and he was the person who knew Qi Xuansu best, but he suddenly found that he was wrong.
He didn't know the details of Qi Xuansu at all, he was outrageously wrong.
The old butler only felt a chill in his back.
Of the four so-called gentlemen, the Baron is not known for his physical strength, but even in the field of magic, which the Baron excels at, it is impossible to burn five steam "magistrates" into molten iron with a wave of his hand.
Not to mention the physical strength that is so violent that it has a different kind of beauty, even the hounds that are famous for their outstanding physical strength throughout the lower city can't tear off a quasi-demigod-level prosthetic arm with their strength alone without cutting with a sharp weapon. Even if the hound managed to do it with some special means and at a certain cost, it could not be so lightly stated.
The same result, one is done casually, and the other is used to eat milk, can it be the same?
Who was Hosea?
The old butler's gaze at Qi Xuansu was no longer annoyed and dissatisfied, and even the shock slowly faded, leaving only fear.
It's like in a fairy tale where an ignorant child brings the devil home and doesn't know it.
Rose's heart was heavy, and instead of being angry to the extreme, he calmed down and said hoarsely, "Baron, is that rumor true?"
Recently it was rumored that the Baron had dug up a relic in an abandoned mine in the lower town. Of course, it is not the remains of Westerners, as an outsider, the history of Westerners in the local area is too short, maybe in a few hundred years, St. York will become a relic of Westerners, but there are no Westerners now.
This relic is a native of the New World. Strictly speaking, it should be a mausoleum.
It is known that in the past there were three major empires in the New World. It can be said that they come from the same source and influence each other, but they are also very different. Now the three empires and the three civilizations are strengthened
Together, it's like melting three iron cans into molten iron and then recasting them into a new one. Westerners swept across the three empires and were the ones who melted down three iron cans. The Orientals helped the aborigines to build Tawantin and were the ones who recast the new iron cans.
This led to confusion in the Tawantine faith, with the gods fighting endlessly, and the nobles vying for power, all of which were the source of instability within the Tawantin.
The mausoleum comes from a priest of Kukulkan.
The so-called Kukulkan is a native ancient god of the New World, with a variety of images, one of which is a giant serpent with feathers, also known as the feathered Quetzalcoatl God. In the mythological system of the New World, he is the sun god, the head of the gods.
It's just that the sun god is too competitive, and it is probably the god who has fallen the most. For example, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Sun Zhenjun of Daomen, the Great Ri Rulai of Buddhism, Izangnuozun and Himihuzun of Fenglinzhou, Apollo and Amun of the West, and so on. To this day, it is certain that the only sun gods who have not fallen are the Great Sun Nyorai and Himi Huzun, and the other sun gods are suspicious, and the Great Sun Nyorai is suspected to have left the world, and there are fewer and fewer sun gods who are still active in the world.
Rumor has it that the Baron was given an artifact left behind by the priest of the sun god.
The sun is closely related to fire, and the flame that melts the steam "magistrate" into molten iron is the divine power of the sun god Kukulkan?
This is where the Baron's terrifying power comes from?
Thinking of this, Ross became more and more sure that he had caught a glimpse of the truth.
The reason why the baron became so powerful was precisely because he got the artifact of Kukulkan.
Ross was in a stirring mood.
It seems that the baron was carried away by a sudden and powerful force, and there is an old saying in the East: The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Are you just a rat in the lower city, and dare to dream of having an artifact? Of course, he could not take away the baron's artifact, but as long as he reported the matter to the Holy See, the patriarch and cardinal would certainly be interested.
However, Rose's mood did not last long, and he suddenly realized another problem, perhaps the Patriarch could easily destroy the baron, but he would certainly not see that day. The baron revealed the fact that he owned the artifact, how could he let him leave alive to report?
Maybe in normal times, the baron didn't dare to kill him because of his identity, but when it came to the moment of life and death, how could the baron keep his hand?
Thinking of this, Rose only felt cold and full of despair.
The old butler thought of another possibility.
None of this is a coincidence, it is a clever plan, a perfect trap, and he is the poor creature who took the initiative to step into the trap.
This terrifying being, who calls himself Hosea Matthews, is aimed at the Baron.
He learned the baron's secret.
In fact, Qi Xuansu didn't think so much at first, his outrageous behavior can only be said to be the nature of throwing stones to ask for directions or scaring snakes, to put it more simply, with dates or not, hit three poles first. After all, he can't just play the baron all the time, and he will do whatever the old butler says, there is no such reason.
Qi Xuansu asked Monica what help she needed, and she vaguely reprimanded Mika, in fact, she wanted to see their reactions, but these two probably didn't know the inside story.
Finally, violent means against Ross.
Unexpectedly, the snake was really shocked.
Although Qi Xuansu didn't know the specific inside story, judging from the drastic emotional changes of Ross and the old housekeeper, there must be a lot of inside information.
Isn't that the windfall coming?
As Ross expected, Qi Xuansu didn't intend to let him go. Although the result was the same, the reason was not the same, Qi Xuansu didn't want to kill his mouth, but wanted to know more.
Qi Xuansu didn't answer Rose's question, but raised his hand and pointed, and Rose was restrained and couldn't move.
Then Qi Xuansu ordered his men outside to come in and invite Mr. Rose to the basement.
These subordinates didn't know the inside story, they just thought that Qi Xuansu was the real baron, although the baron suddenly gained far more powerful power than usual, but it was not a bad thing for them, so they naturally had to obey Qi Xuansu's orders.
Soon, all but one of the halls was solidified by molten iron
Outside of Cheng's big iron lump, only Qi Xuansu and the old housekeeper were left.
The old butler's lips trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said with difficulty, "Who are you?"
"I'm a baron." Qi Xuansu replied, "Ramon O'Shea."
At this moment, Wu Niang appeared on the big iron lump: "It's almost there, you're still addicted to acting." There's clearly something going on here."
"Of course I do." Qi Xuansu responded inwardly, "This is an unexpected gain for us, proving that our trip is worthwhile."
Qi Xuansu said to the old butler again, "Just now, the Rus magistrate said, 'Baron, is that rumor true? What do you think?"
The old butler was silent at first, and then squeezed out a little professional smile: "Your Excellency, rumors stop at the wise."
Qi Xuansu snorted coldly: "Your words will almost put me in the ranks of fools."
The old butler suddenly suffocated, feeling a huge pressure.
This kind of pressure, like a mortal facing a dragon, has no reason at all.
Controlling anger is actually controlling emotions.
For a qualified superior, anger is to show an attitude, not to vent an emotion. For example, Zhang Yuelu reprimanded Xiao Yin, if she wants to say that she is really so angry, it may not be, the key is that she must show a resolute attitude by being angry, and cooperate with the corresponding punishment to let Xiao Yin remember, otherwise there will be a next time if she commits it this time, and she will change it after committing it, and she will do it again after she has done it, and it will be endless.
Qi Xuansu was well aware of the truth, so he didn't speak too harshly, just talked calmly, without any clear attitude, which made the already nervous old housekeeper feel more and more pressured.
After a while, the old butler finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and said, "Part of that rumor is true."
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly: "Continue."
The old butler took a deep breath, "The baron did find a huge mausoleum from the local natives, which belonged to the priests of Kukulkan, but the baron did not get any artifacts."
