Chapter 187: Three Minutes of Reversal
The girl who had been impaled on the tip of the Iron Giant's finger still had a breezy expression on her face, and although she frowned at pain, there was no fear in her eyes that the puppeteer wanted to see. 【(7764)】
Looking at the girl who was caught in the palm of her hand and lost her ability to resist, she was like a weak lamb to be slaughtered, which aroused the curiosity of the puppeteer. He is confident in his mind, and although he is not too embarrassed to say that he is resourceful, he can at least be called a far-sighted person as a connoisseur of playing with people's minds.
He understood the girl's expression, which showed that even when life and death were in the hands of others, the girl still had the confidence to win, and this unwarranted confidence confused him. And this confusion made him interested in the maiden at this moment more important than the capture of Diana.
Even if he had fallen into a state of being seriously injured and endangered, the powerful perception ability of the gold-rank powerhouse could still cover the entire Sword Castle, and the puppeteer's heart moved, and he noticed the skyrocketing fire in the other direction. The rebel forces of the North Wind family have not appeared just now, and I am afraid that this is the reason. If this is also in the girl's plan, then the three minutes she said are definitely not untrue
But...... Why?
"Mr. Dollmaster...... Don't you get it?" Tiana coughed twice, clutching her torn abdomen, and looking up with a confident smile.
Seeing the girl's expression, the puppeteer's face was cloudy for a while, although his brain was a little dizzy now due to excessive bleeding, but this should not be an excuse that he hadn't reacted yet. He suddenly realized that the girl's little trick might not be clever, but she had touched the blind spot of his thinking. Looking at the distant firelight, the puppeteer's heart moved.
"That's the armory of the Sword Castle...... Compared with the favor of the royal family, it is obvious that their own fundamental interests are more important, right? Those nobles of the Sword Castle...... If you can sell for the sake of profit, why don't you change your position in the face of greater interests?" Tiana wiped the corners of her bleeding mouth and chuckled softly.
"Interesting train of thought. The puppeteer raised his fingertips, gently provoked Tiana's face, and sneered: "You actually pinned your hopes on that group of nobles, what qualifications do they have......"
"Now there's ...... When Miss Diana and you are both defeated. ”
The girl's words made the puppeteer feel like a lightning strike, and his face changed instantly. Speaking of which, if he can't turn the corner, then he will really be ashamed of his name. 【(7764)】
The aristocracy, especially the local aristocracy, is, to put it bluntly, a group of bastards who sit on their ancestors' inheritances and eat and wait for death. There may be occasional variations of individual breeds, but in general, you can't find any human virtue in such a group of pigs who are forgetful of their interests and are greedy for their lives and afraid of death.
Interests are like **** for the nobles, and in the face of sufficient interests, they can not hesitate to throw away all pretense and discipline.
Previously, the nobles of Sword Castle launched a rebellion and betrayed the heir of the North Wind family to the royal family, the most fundamental purpose was for profit. Both the North Wind family and the royal family can get the benefits they want, and Diana, who is a victim, her own opinion does not matter at all.
It's a business that smells foul and foul, but in any case, since it's a business, it has a price, and having a price means negotiation and compromise. So far, although the business itself has not been affected, the price of one of the parties has changed invisibly, and that is the strength that Diana has shown.
Michelo, the former head of the North Wind family, believes that his daughter is very likely to become a new generation of sword saints, but this is very likely to be full of uncertainty in itself, in the history of the North Wind family, there has never been a shortage of amazing and glamorous people, and the adjective "possible" is not an exaggeration to put on any of them, but for thousands of years, only three hundred years ago the fallen leaf sword saint Cyprus has regained its former glory.
The adjective "possibly" is really too much for the North Wind family, and it tastes like chewing wax. This time the North Wind family is not so much a rebellion, but strictly an internal disagreement. For the purpose of protecting Diana, her true talent was kept strictly secret, and Michelo was unable to explain it to his people. The clansmen on the rebel side regarded the behavior of the head of the family as "ignorant of the general situation", and in their opinion, no matter how good Diana's talent was, it was impossible to become a sword master after all, so she should do her duty for the family. Being able to become a queen is the greatest honor and the greatest value embodiment in the eyes of most people.
No one ever imagined that Diana really had what it took to become a Juggernaut.
Diana's battle with the puppeteer lasted less than twenty minutes, but it caught the attention of all who cared about it. She used her sword to bring a new answer, and under unfavorable conditions, she was able to defeat both the old golden powerhouses of the Oakland Kingdom. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. With the talent and strength she has shown, even if she fails to attack the Sword Saint Rank in the end, it is a sure thing to step into the Golden Rank.
A person who can be expected to be a gold-rank powerhouse in the future, and a person who is at the peak of the silver rank but will not be able to touch that door for the rest of his life, the value of the two is completely different.
The North Wind family wouldn't be unaware of what this meant, but they were all mortals after all, and they might not be able to react in time. If the puppeteer can control Diana as soon as the battle is over, with his status as a gold-rank powerhouse, he can force this deal, even if the Beifeng family feels that it is a loss, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
But now, in the few minutes he's been delayed, Ximako has fled into the aristocratic city, which means that Diana is back in the hands of the North Wind family. When he couldn't make a move due to various concerns, the weight of the deal quietly changed hands.
No one knew how much a gold-rank powerhouse was worth, and no one dared to use a gold-rank powerhouse as a trading weight. In other words, the deal will drag on indefinitely, or even go through.
Three minutes is not really important to the pursuer and the pursued. The three minutes that the girl had to delay was a gap left for the North Wind family. Her plan is not complicated, but she thinks deeper than the puppeteer.
The puppeteer wasn't unaware of the tricks, but he stood too tall to notice the changes under his feet. He thought he could control the situation with his strength, but Tiana accurately captured his blind spot. When he sorted out all these causes and consequences in his heart, his heart suddenly became cold.
No, this little girl's plan is not clever, there must be a way to save the situation! When the puppeteer realized his mistake, he still maintained a sneer on his face, but his heart was quickly thinking about countermeasures. He wasn't really stupid and almost immediately grasped the key to turning the tide.
The puppeteer's mind moved, and his powerful perception swept away in the direction of Shimako's escape, and he saw that the young man was running for his life, and he did not slow down in the slightest. And in the aristocratic city ahead, in the hidden aristocratic mansion, a group of nobles with fat brains had just reached a consensus, and the old man led by him stood up, slowly sorted out his clothes, and cleared his throat.
This is the real reason why Tiana has to fight for three minutes at the risk of her own life, and if it were in Isttalen, any general would react immediately after judging the situation. But for these nobles, the word "quick decision" seems vulgar, even if it is burning eyebrows, they have to put on a slow and logical appearance, and they are also called nobles.
The old man must not be allowed to speak until Diana is captured! This is the key to the game-breaking that the puppeteer has found, this is the so-called unwritten law in aristocratic circles. Even if you know that he is playing with your wife, you must pretend not to know and greet each other without the stolen goods on the spot.
The puppeteer subconsciously held the girl's body, wanting to throw her directly into the old man's face as a human cannonball, even if he was stoned to death, he could also shift the responsibility to this strange outsider, people can't be resurrected after death, and no one will care about him. But when he raised his hand, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the touch, and when he looked back, the girl hanging on the tips of his fingers had disappeared silently.
Space movement? Surely impossible! Not to mention that in order to prevent her from playing tricks, the puppeteer had already imprisoned the space in his hands. Even if she really had that kind of ability to defy the sky, the magic fluctuations caused by the release of magic were enough to make the puppeteer alert. But at the moment when he was distracted, the woman disappeared into his hands inexplicably.
Is it still an illusion? The puppeteer felt that his assumption was too ridiculous, and even if his brain blood supply was insufficient and his thinking speed was a little slow, he would not be so stupid as to not be able to distinguish between the illusion and the deity.
The dizziness in his mind became more and more gross, and the vertigo caused by the excessive use of his brain power made the puppeteer almost lose his alertness, and when he realized the danger signal aimed at himself, his first reaction was to look in the direction where Diana was.
A long arrow, or something resembling it, appeared out of thin air less than three meters behind the puppeteer and aimed at the back of his head. The arrow passed directly through the void, leaving almost no time for the puppeteer to react, only the faint fluctuations generated by the void teleportation made the puppeteer subconsciously tremble.
The long arrow pierced through the back of the puppeteer's head, and neither the Iron Giant's defense nor the strong enough body of the Gold-Rank powerhouse itself seemed to have any protection against this arrow.
The expression on the puppeteer's face froze for a moment, and then the right half of his face burst open silently, and the splattered flesh shattered into dots and scattered in mid-air like fallen leaves.
