Chapter 257: Seth's Fear

"Kill you, kill you, kill you!!" The unconscious Fielding roared in a suppressed hoarse voice, and then suddenly exclaimed: "Ah!!!" He sat up from the bed suddenly, his head was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, and his upper body was covered with layers of bandages. [No pop-up novel network]

He had just woken up from a nightmare, and his movements were too violent, and he sat up suddenly, only to feel that his whole body was in pain, and his skeleton seemed to be about to fall apart. He snorted, and fell backwards again as soon as it was dark in front of him.

Only now did he find himself in a clean and comfortable room, lying on a large soft bed. The blood stains on the original body have long been cleaned up, the wounds on the chest, shoulders and arms have been treated, and the bleeding in the place where Arslan plotted with the dragon claw has also stopped.

"Fielding, how are you feeling?" Roddy's voice came from the bedside. Fielding turned his head with difficulty, and immediately saw Roddy standing beside the bed with a gloomy face.

β€œ...... Thank you. Fielding felt bitter in his mouth, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for saving me back." ”

Roddy sighed: "You don't talk too much. Your wounds are a bit strange, and we've had a lot of effort to help you get them right. ”

Fielding smiled wryly: "Yes...... Did she cure me? She's here?"

Roddy was silent for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yes." Myosi says that there is something strange about your wound, and that there is a strange force that prevents the wound from healing and speeds up the loss of blood. We tried a few treatments at first, but none of them worked. But luckily Myosi is here. ”

Fielding lay there, his eyes on the ceiling, and muttered, "Not bad." Arslan had said that this kind of dragon could only be rescued by someone with high magical strength. I originally wanted to go back to Gu Ming for help......" At this point, his face showed a little sadness.

Glanced at Roddy. Fielding explains: "Guming is not only a man I respect, but he is also my godfather. ”

Speaking of this, Fielding sighed, "Miaosi, does she know?"

Luo Di's face was solemn, nodded slightly, and sighed: "She must still be hiding in the room and crying now." I guess she should be alone for a while now. ”

Fielding shook his head helplessly: "Not bad. Miao Si has worshipped Gu Ming as a teacher since she was a child. I think she's feeling ...... right now."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door: "How am I feeling?"

The voice is down. Myosi had already walked in softly through the doorway. She put on her signature black gauze outfit. With a cold face, she seemed to have become such a powerful and arrogant black gauze sage again. It's just that she held a silver bottle in her hand, slowly walked in front of Fielding, and said coldly: "This is holy water, since you are awake, drink it." ”

There was a pause. She added coldly: "Your injuries are almost healed, but if you don't want to become a cripple, it's best to lie here and stay still for the past two days." ”

Speaking of which. Without saying a word, Miao Si put the bottle on the head of the bed and turned to leave. Fielding suddenly said loudly, "Miaosi, I'm sorry!"

Myosi's body shuddered, and she turned around and glanced at Fielding with a complicated expression. Fielding had a pained expression on his face, "Make my mistake! I should have followed Gumin...... If it weren't for the fact that I left in a bad mood after losing the fight, I wouldn't have left Gu Ming alone. My duty to come to Sauron with Grumin was to protect him, but ...... But ......" tears welled up in the eyes of the strong man, and he suddenly pulled his head hard.

Miao Si's expression changed, she stared at Fielding, gritted her teeth, and said: "Fielding, you should have been so tense and complicated until now! The relationship between the temple and the kingdom is like a powder keg! In such a situation, the slightest spark will bring a huge explosion! But you actually ......"

"Miaosi!" Luo Di suddenly whispered, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay." Miaosi glanced at Luo Di with a sad expression, that kind of look made Luo Di's heart hurt, took Miao Si's hand, and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to say this, you go out first." I have something to say to Fielding. β€œ

By the time Masse walked out, it was only Fielding and Roddy left in the room again.

"Tulip, what do you want to talk to me?" Fielding calmed down a little at the moment.

Roddy thought for a while, he found a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, looked into Fielding's eyes, and said, "What are you thinking now?"

Fielding's eyes showed a little confusion, then he closed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "I don't know. ”

Luo Di sighed: "You haven't thought about it, but I have thought about some thoughts." ”

After a pause, Roddy said in a low voice: "First, now that Promethean got rid of you in order to find an excuse to start a war, then you can't go back to the temple." Even if you could go back, would you still be able to testify against him? You are a paladin, but to tell you the truth in my heartβ€”I think you are far far worse than Promethean in terms of means and scheming! If you go back, there is only a dead end! I even guess that if you go back, you may not live to the day when the presbytery publicly testifies against him! Moreover, even if you say it, will others believe it?"

After a moment of silence, Fielding's voice was a little bitter: "I don't believe it......" He shook his head: "Don't talk about others, even I can't imagine that he would be so ruthless!"

Speaking of this, Fielding suddenly glanced at Roddy strangely, and said in an unkind tone, "What? Do you want to win me over to work for you? Who do you represent? King Sauron, or your Empire of Light?" his tone was a little hostile.

Luo Di immediately shook his head and said, "Of course not. I know you're not one to shake your mind. Even though you've fallen out with Promethean now, I don't think you're going to betray the temple yet. ”

Fielding replaced the answer with silenceβ€”he acquiesced.

After a long time, Fielding said slowly: "Prometheus is Prometheus, and the temple is a temple! Since I, Fielding, am the paladin of the temple, then I will definitely not be sentenced to the temple! I have already thought about this matter, whether it is for the revenge of Gu Ming, or for the safety of the temple." I'm going to have to find a way to get rid of Prometheus!"

His tone was calm, but Roddy clearly felt the cold killing intent contained in his words.

Roddy suddenly laughed - in fact, he himself was very strange about his reaction, and besides, he could actually laugh at the moment?

Or. Roddy has really changed a little.

"Fielding, I admire you, but I also have some sympathy for you. Roddy's tone seemed a little gloomy: "Because I suddenly appeared, you are very similar to me at the beginning." ”

Roddy's tone seemed to be a little self-deprecating: "I was a stupid boy at the beginning, I didn't understand anything, I didn't understand anything. In my heart, I simply think that everything in this world can be distinguished by simple 'good and evil'! I always strictly abide by the so-called 'principle' in my heart. But now I don't think so anymore. ”

He stood up suddenly. looked condescendingly at Fielding lying on the bed. Said slowly: "Have you thought about it?" A lot of things in this world are not so easy to distinguish. What is sin, what is good, what is right. What's wrong? These things aren't simply measured by your own mental standards. He smiled faintly and continued: "Originally, I didn't understand these truths, but when I first went to the battlefield, I was still a young man full of enthusiasm. I simply thought that I could defend the dignity of the empire with my sword and blood! It's to force the sword in my hand to kill some unarmed civilians of the Empire!"

Luo Di's expression was a little sad: "If it were according to the standards in my original heart, I would never do such a thing! Those civilians were forced by the Great Moon Kingdom to be their spies. From the point of view of the imperial decrees, they were treasonous and sinful! but by their own standards, they were only here to survive! And I thought at the time, as a proud samurai, that my sword should be used against a murderous enemy, not against an unarmed civilian!"

Fielding's face changed slightly: "Then how did you do it?"

"I ordered the execution of the civilians who collaborated with the enemy, although I sympathized with them in my heart, even though they were only trying to save their relatives who had been kidnapped by the Great Moon Kingdom. But I had to give the first order of my life to kill!" Roddy's expression was calmβ€”Fielding suddenly felt that the Duke of Tulip in front of him at this moment was really calm and terrifying.

Luo Di suddenly smiled again: "Because I know that if I don't execute these civilians, the morale of my army will be scattered! If the military orders are not strict and the orders are not in order, how can such an army go to the battlefield to fight those steppe wolves? If the army collapses, then more people will die!"

Luo Di sighed: "Executing civilians, if it is according to the standards of a samurai, such an approach is wrong. But as a commander, this is necessary!Can you tell me whether I'm right or wrong?" Roddy seemed to give Fielding a faint look.

Fielding was silent for a moment and sighed, "I don't know. ”

Luo Di smiled slightly: "Yes, even I don't know whether that approach is right or wrong now." But the results seem to be good. I stabilized the morale of the army, won the war in the northwest steppe of the empire, and saved the defeat in the northwest......" Roddy finally stopped his gaze on Fielding's face: "The same principle is applied to Promethean...... According to your standards, his assassination of you and Gumin was wrong, a despicable and shameless act, and an unscrupulous attempt to achieve the end! But if by Promethean's own standards, he did so in order to arouse the common hatred of the temple and make the council of elders of the temple unified, and if he succeeded, then he might become the second pope in the history of the temple! He might even establish a religious empire that had never been before unified! If he succeeds, people will only remember his great deeds in the future, and who will remember his unsightly methods?"

Fielding's face changed: "You mean you want me not to go to Promethean for revenge?!"

"Nope. That's not what I meant. Roddy actually shook his head, and he smiled helplessly: "Frankly, the person who most wants Promethean to die right now is me!"

His tone gradually became a little serious, and his expression became a little solemn: "The more I deal with this elder of the Council of Elders, the more I feel the horror of this person...... About those experiences of him. Miaosi told me everything. I have to say that of all the opponents I have met in my life, he is definitely the most terrifying one! whether it is scheming, strategy, means, and wisdom. They are all unique!" He smiled bitterly and said, "I even have another strange feeling: as long as this person exists, even if all the Roland kingdoms are united, they may not be able to defeat the temple!" He suddenly muttered to himself: "Although King Sauron is also eloquent, he is still a little inferior to Promethean's unfathomable profoundness. ”

"Isn't that just what you like?" Fielding couldn't help but stab Roddy: "Your Empire of Light doesn't want us Roland people to fight each other. The harder you fight, the better?"

Luo Di actually nodded: "Yes! This is indeed the purpose of my visit to Roland." By the standards of our empire. The civil strife in your Roland 6 is absolutely only good for us. But what we hope even more is that the losing side in this civil strife cannot be King Sauron, because if the Roland Kingdom loses, then with Promethean's ability, he is likely to be able to truly unify Roland 6 within a few years!"

"So you want the temple to lose?" said Fielding coldly.

"Nope. Luo Di suddenly smiled: "I don't want the temple to lose...... I hope that Promethean loses! As you said yourself, the temple is the temple, and the Promethean is the Promethean!"

Looking at the smile on Roddy's face, Fielding's heart suddenly became nervous. He said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, you said so much to me, what do you want to say?"

"You're really stubborn. Roddy sighed: "You are as persistent as I used to be. Stubborn! And doesn't like to be flexible. He smiled: "Maybe it's because of this that I like you very much." ”

"Have you become vile and shameless now?" said Fielding.

"Nope. Roddy showed a little sadness on his face: "I have indeed changed. But...... It's just because I've seen too many deaths! I've seen too many of my close comrades die before my eyes!"

Both were silent for a moment, a subtle atmosphere in the air. The two of them, who originally had a clear position, suddenly felt a little sympathy in their hearts. Fielding finally sighed, his face softened, "All right, Duke Tulip, tell me your true purpose." ”

"Go back to the temple!" said Roddy, suddenly, something that surprised Fielding.

"Go back to the temple? Do you really think so? Didn't you say that it was dangerous for me to go back now? Promethean would definitely try to kill me in order to kill me. ”

"That's why you're going back to the temple. Luo Di said lightly: "Of course, if you stay here, I can be sure that you will be safe, but I don't think you will want to stay here in any way, right?"

Fielding was silent.

Indeed, Roddy is right. Either way, Fielding would not want to stay here and stay with Duke Tulip. Fielding, who was loyal to the Temple, would never be willing to betray the Temple and be with the heathen. And at the same time...... Because of the existence of Miaosi, the arrogant Fielding would never want to stay here.

"Go on. Fielding sighed.

Roddy nodded, "You have to go back to the temple...... Because if Promethean wants to get rid of you, he can only assassinate you secretly! After all, you are the paladin of the temple! When the time comes, kill you, and then push this blame on King Sauron together with the same thing as Grumin, this is the only way for him to kill you. So you can only go back and stay in the temple, under the noses of many people in the temple, in the eyes of the temple's many eyes, Promethean can't find a chance to do it!"

"You must remain silent! You must not publicly turn against Promethean, let alone incriminate him!" Roddy sighed, "I know it's hard to do this with your character. But if you want to avenge Grumin, that's the only way to do it. ”

Fielding didn't speak, apparently struggling in his heart.

And then ...... When you have the chance, you will take out Promethean!" Roddy's tone revealed a bit of murder: "Whether it's an open fight, or murder, assassination, assassination...... You have the strength of a paladin, and even if Promethean is powerful, he is just a magician...... As an elder of the Council of Elders, it is impossible for him to personally kill you first, and the only power he can use now is at his disposal. One is Augustine – he wouldn't do such a thing, naturally. Then the only one, it is Arslan. I think with your strength, if you are careful not to be plotted by him, there should be no problem. ”

"Kill him......" Fielding's eyes flashed: "There shouldn't be no chance, after all, everyone is in the temple, and there is a meeting between the high-level inside." There are no guards around...... If I'm suddenly hard. It's not impossible...... It's just that...... Before exposing the true face of Promethean. If I kill him suddenly, will I not become a sinner?"

"Do you care about this reputation?" Roddy smiled coldly, "That's the problem with what I just said to you! It's your yardstick! What are you talking about? What is a sinner? Which of you is a sinner compared to Promethean? Yes, if you suddenly kill Promethean, in the eyes of everyone, you, Fielding, are a traitor. You are a sinner who rebelled against the Temple!But in the long run, you have gotten rid of a careerist who endangers the Temple!" Speaking of this, Roddy looked at Fielding meaningfully: "The key is what standard you measure by in your heart. ”

Looking at the silent Fielding, Roddy said coldly: "I don't want to hide it from you, I want you to do this because it is also in the interests of our Bright Empire! You can think that I don't have any good intentions! So, now, Fielding, tell me your answer!"

His gaze was like a blade as he stared at Fielding, and the room fell silent......

,

In the garden of the palace, flowers bloom all over the garden. Although this is not the spring when a hundred flowers are blooming. But as the king's palace, the garden has been planted with flowers that are suitable for the season.

The aroma hits and the clothes flutter. A slender figure walked gently in the clusters of purple and red, this person was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, a golden hair was simply tied behind his head, and the moth eyebrows were swept lightly on the face of the decisive beauty. Her gaze seemed to be calm, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and she easily admired the scenery of the garden.

Slender fingers gently stretched out, picked up a flower and gently twisted it on her fingertips, and then she seemed to smile even more. The purple and red in the garden were even a little lost in her alluring smile......

However, completely inconsistent with the beautiful flower picture in front of him, a hoarse voice said in a somewhat strange tone: "Seth, that plan was you came up with, right?" Old Mark strode up from behind, looked at a window above the pavilion in the distance, and laughed in a low voice: "Now that kid must be persuading that Fielding according to what you said." ”

The stunning beauty suddenly sighed, "she" turned around, looked at old Mark, shook her head and sighed: "My dear old Mark, you are really a person who doesn't know how to be emotional." Don't you think it's a shame to discuss these intrigues in this beautiful setting?"

Old Mark didn't care at all, and picked up a flower in the same way as Seth, sniffed vigorously in front of his nose, and said with a wry smile: "Hell, the fragrance is so strong here, I really don't understand, how can the royal family of Sauron like such a garden!

After a pause, ignoring the roll of Seth's eyes, old Mark smiled and said, "Look, can that kid convince Fielding?"

Seth seemed stunned for a moment, the petals of the flower twirling lightly in his fingers, and he said lightly, "Who knows? I'm only responsible for giving him ideas, and it's not my question if he can make my plan come true. ”

Old Mark suddenly smiled: "To be honest, I'm a little weird...... As a human being, this plan you have come up with is really a bit unseemly, even a little despicable...... You're using Fielding as a gunman! How did you convince that stupid boy to agree to such a plan? It doesn't seem to fit his character. With his character, he probably wouldn't have agreed to do this. ”

Seth's expression instantly stiffened, then he smiled and said lightly: "I didn't spend much energy convincing Roddy, in fact, we talked about it last night, and I told him about my plan." He left without saying a word, and during the day today, he suddenly agreed. ”

Old Mark seemed a little surprised: "Oh? It seems that our silly boy seems to have finally understood the truth that 'those who do big things are not informal'." ”

Seth suddenly glanced at Old Mark, "My dear Old Mark, I don't think we should call him a silly boy anymore...... At least now, it seems that he is no longer the stupid boy he used to be!"

He suddenly lowered his voice and seemed to mumble to himself: "I don't know why, the more I have been in contact with him recently, I have gradually developed a fear of him in my heart...... How strange is that...... I feel more and more that this guy Roddy seems to be in danger......"

"Oh?" said old Mark, "Are you scared? You have human emotions in your heart? This is good news!!"

Seth was silent, and suddenly remembered the black flame that came out of Roddy's palm that night, the legendary "hellfire" that could burn and devour everything in the world! The expression on his face flashed a trace of uneasiness in an instant.

I remembered the sentence I said unintentionally, "It's not human." ”

Seth's heart was complicated, and he couldn't help but say, "Is it good news......?

Suddenly there was a noise outside the garden, and the anxious voices of the royal knights who were in charge of guarding outside were faintly heard: "Your Highness...... You...... You...... By the order of the envoy, no one can carry out the palace without his permission. His Majesty the King has also agreed to his request, and you ......"

A "majestic" roar: "Get out of the way!"

Immediately, a "tall and burly" figure appeared at the gate of the garden, and the two royal knights next to him were full of embarrassment and anxiety.

A man who was a head taller stood between the two knights, dressed in a splendid robe, with her head scattered behind her head, and a ribbon tied around her forehead. The robe looked like a specially modified model, but it still seemed to be too tight on her body.

What is even more surprising is that this woman actually wears a giant sword under her waist that only the most fierce martial artists would use! But this giant weapon in the eyes of ordinary people is worn on her body, reflecting the volume of her body, but it looks like a small toy......

Princess Ruolan?!

Ruolan saw Seth standing in the midst of the flowers at a glance, and a trace of essence suddenly flashed in her eyes that were squeezed into two gaps by the fat on her face, and she giggled and laughed a few times, and strode over with great enthusiasm.

Seth's originally calm expression immediately felt as if someone had slashed him.

Even compared to that non-human Roddy, the princess in front of her is probably even more terrifying than Roddy!

Ruolan had already come to Seth's face, her eyes completely ignored the old Mark behind her, and it seemed that she was ready to give Seth a "bear hug" enthusiastically, but fortunately Seth took a step back in time, and the princess had to reject this rare opportunity to "Yiqin Fangze".

She stretched out a giant palm, and regardless of the expression on Seth's face, she grabbed Seth's hand with one hand. Immediately, she actually held back her thick voice with a little delicateness, and giggled "coquettishly": "Miss Nicole, are you here alone to enjoy the flowers? Why don't I accompany you......"
