Chapter 243: Conspiracy
readx;
Han Jin stared at the corpse in front of him quietly, in fact, it was no longer a corpse, because he was breathing, but the scar on his forehead had not completely healed, and the twisted scar looked terrifying. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
I don't know how long it took, the man opened his eyes with extremely slow movements, and immediately discovered Han Jin's existence, he turned his head sideways to look at Han Jin, and he didn't know where he touched it, his whole face was squeezed together in pain.
"It hurts?" Han Jin asked softly.
If it was a normal person, seeing the archbishop's priestly robe, he would have already gone over to ask for warmth, Han Jin's question was a little impolite and a little weird, but that person was even more eccentric, he closed his eyes and replied lightly: "Heartache." β
"The person who killed you is your friend?" Han Jin raised his eyebrows, his question inferred from the other party's answer.
"Friend, huh...... Sort of. The man laughed.
Han Jin was silent for a moment: "Is there anything you need help with?" Actually, if he released a Huiyuan Qingshen Spell, he could effectively help the other party, but he couldn't do that. There are too many people like the Zhongshan wolf, not to mention that he has no kindness to people, the archbishop in front of him is completely self-helping, at most he has not fallen into the ground, in case he leaks the bottom, people have ideas, the consequences are unimaginable, in the face of Guevara's degree of domineering existence, he does not dare to be a little sloppy.
"If you can, help me sit up and help me find a cane. The man's voice was slightly hoarse: "It's comfortable to lie on the ground, but it's too embarrassing." β
The surrounding woods were too badly destroyed by the forbidden spell, Han Jin walked out of the distance to find a relatively strong branch, returned to the big pit, helped the person to sit up a little bit, he found that the person's body was as soft as a noodle, and asked in a low voice, "Are you weak now?"
"My magic is too depleted. The man smiled: "The redemption of the light angel can only save my life, it can't make up for the magic and physical strength I consume, and now I am a waste, a small child can easily kill me." β
"You shouldn't have said that to me. Han Jin said softly.
"There's no need, if the God of Light really wants me to die, then let's die. The man stood up tremblingly on the branch as he spoke, and Han Jin wanted to reach out to help, but he shook his head and stopped Han Jin from moving.
Han Jin had to step aside, for that person, just the action of getting up from the ground was far beyond his ability to bear, his chest was rising and falling sharply, his body was shaking like a malaria fever patient, and the branches in his hands were also swaying back and forth, left and right.
"Huh...... I don't look like a child who has just learned to walk......" The man laughed, but before he could finish speaking, the branch tilted forward, and the figure staggered down.
Han Jin couldn't help but shake his head, walked over and helped the man up again, this time, the other party did not refuse his help, and let Han Jin grab his arm.
The redemption of the light angel could only heal the previous injuries, his cheeks were scratched, and more than a dozen blood stains were drawn, and the blood beads oozed out little by little, and finally rolled down his jaw, but that person didn't seem to feel it, Wu Zi couldn't stop laughing there, Han Jin couldn't understand it, and he was always observing the other party.
"What do you see me doing?" The man also sensed Han Jin's gaze.
"You've been attacked by your own friends......"
"I know. β
"He also stuck a few arrows in you, as if he was framing someone. β
"I know, I also know that he also stuck an arrow in himself, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Han Jin shrugged his shoulders: "It's just...... You don't seem angry at all, so I'm a little weird. Thinking about it, Han Jin felt that if he was attacked by his friends, the first thing he had to do now was to cultivate, and immediately go to the murderer to take revenge after recovering his strength! The other party's reaction was definitely not like a normal person, at least if it was him, he would not be able to laugh no matter what.
The man was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "I'...... has been living in his shadow. β
"Is that your friend?" the murderer?" Han Jin interjected.
"Hmm. The man nodded: "Now, I have finally left his shadow, you don't understand, I am happier than ever, this land, this forest, and the gentle night, and you, a stranger, all give me a very comfortable feeling, I used to be busy every day, where is I in the mood to feel the world......"
"You don't hate...... Your friend?" Han Jin couldn't help it, so he had to go straight in.
"Why hate him? Many people have said that I am the same kind of person as him, but ...... I don't have as much ambition as he has. The man smiled: "And he has a reason to kill me, I really want to surpass him." β
"Beyond? shouldn't that be a reason to commit murder, right?"
The man looked at Han Jin, "What would happen to you if your friend's strength was about to surpass yours?"
Han Jin thought back to Moxinke, Shanil, Saseoul, Lei Zhe and the others, and for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I will be very happy." "Han Jin is telling the truth, he is a cultivator, the goal is to cultivate the immortal golden body, he has never regarded any friend as a target to surpass or defeat, if the strength of Mo Xinke and the others is strong enough, he would rather be a person who hides behind the scenes, so he became the leader before, because Mo Xinke and the others were not enough to support the situation, he had to come forward. Acquiescing to Che Guevara and Lang Ning's actions has nothing to do with greed for power, and it is also because Lei Zhe can't do it, Han Jin agrees with Guevara and Lang Ning's judgment that with Lei Zhe's style, it will only ruin the foundation of the Torrent Legion, and sooner or later it will be annexed by others.
That person stared at Han Jin as if judging Han Jin's authenticity, and for a moment, he sighed lightly: "Maybe you will really be happy for your friends, but he can't, the great Nicholas the Great will never allow anyone and any life to surpass him, if he has that strength, he will even challenge the gods." β
"Your friend's name is Nikola......i? A king??" Han Jin asked in surprise. The king is not a fool, he has at least seven or eight provinces to be eligible for the canonization of king, and in the area of Lonely Cliff, the territories of all the lords combined, including Archduke Solomon and the city of Phather in Fosa, are only nine provinces.
"Yes. The man whispered, "My name is Jadis, Bishop of the Archdiocese of Iron Fist, the Supreme Arbiter of the Inquisition, what is your name? β
"My name is Raphael. β
The man was stunned: "It's that simple?"
"How complicated could it be?"
"At least you're going to tell me which city you're from, right?"
"Crow City. β
"I seem to have some impressions. Jaydis thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I can't remember, but ...... It's a terrible name. β
"yes. Han Jin nodded in agreement: "When I go back, I should talk to them and change my name, so as not to always misunderstand people and think that I am from Zaguned." β
"Are you...... A new generation of lords?"
"Not yet. Han Jin paused: "How do you know?"
"The name of the city is not changed casually, except for the lord. Jaydis said slowly, "Why didn't you just tell me that you were a lord?"
"Identity can change at any time, there's not much to say, but my name never changes. β
"You don't seem to care who you are. Jaydis laughed.
Han Jin shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.
"I thought you were just a powerful mercenary, but I didn't expect you to be a lord. β
"I said, not yet. Han Jin was stunned: "My strength? ...... you?"
"With so many footprints, you are not alone, they are all your companions, right?" Jaedis laughed, "You let them go, obviously for fear of accidents, and your companions agreed to let you stay alone, proving that they trust your power." β
Han Jin's face was slightly red, those things were placed on it, it was not difficult to analyze, but the reaction of the person in front of him was too weird, there was no crying, no anger, no sadness, from the outside, it was impossible to see that he had been a victim at all, so he spent all his energy on guessing the story behind it, forgetting those superficial things.
Han Jin leaned down, picked up an arrow from the ground, and handed it to Jadis: "Your friend's method of framing is a bit naΓ―ve, look, the name is written on it, who can he deceive?"
"He also stuck an arrow in himself. Jaydis didn't answer, but just glanced at it: "There are three kinds of people in the world, one is a fool, when they learn that their king has been plotted, they will immediately become angry, naΓ―ve or not naΓ―ve, and it will have little effect on them. There is also an ordinary intelligent person, who has brains and can analyze, and does not want to believe anything easily, and must be suspicious when they see such childish things. The last kind is very intelligent people, they see far farther than ordinary people, and they think more carefully than ordinary people, they will never believe that Nikolai, who is very scheming, will use such childish means to deceive everyone, do you know what I mean?"
Han Jin said with some embarrassment, "Then I'm just an ordinary smart person?"
Jaydis smiled: "I can guarantee that after Nikolai returns with his injuries, he will definitely insist that Lola is an innocent person, and both he and Lola have been framed by others." β
"Why don't you rush back and expose his plot?"
"It's too late. Jaedis's eyes finally showed a look of pain: "He took me around the forest for four months before attacking me, and during these four months, he had already made all kinds of preparations! If I had detected his plot four months ago, I might have been able to stop him, and now...... It's too late. I wasn't his match in the first place, and he had four more months than I did...... Hehe, besides, I'm just a waste now, how do I get out of the forest?"
"You...... Hire us and we'll send you back. β
"Will you send me back? I can meet all your requirements, will you?" said Jaydis with a smile.
"No!" Of course Han Jin won't send it, this kind of muddy water threat is too great: "But...... You didn't have to tell me so much, you can deceive us and let us send you back!" Han Jin also committed an evil act, and even thought about the other party.
"I never lie. Jaydis said lightly: "Not before, not now, and not in the future." β
Han Jin was stunned, the phrase 'I never lie' is a lie in itself, he doesn't believe that there are people in the world who don't panic, but Jadis's eyes are so firm and persistent, he can't understand what kind of support can make Jadis say such absurd words.
"Nikolai framed that Lola...... His plan must have implicated a lot of people, right? Maybe your friends or even your family, if you lie to us, at least you have a chance to save the lives of your friends and family!
Jadis's face suddenly twisted, his chest was also rising and falling, there was sadness, anger, hesitation, and even a hint of pleading in his eyes...... There will be no shortage at any time, just like those who have fallen, they can always find all kinds of reasons for having to fall, and they can even blame the God of Light, but the fall is always a fall, and no reason can be used to cover it up......! It's the same thing, in fact, I have had many opportunities to lie, and I have encountered many temptations to lie, but I am still a believer, not a politician. β
"You ......" Han Jin felt that the person in front of him was simply unreasonable.
"It's useless to go back, even if I show up in Iron Fist City now, it will only make my friends die faster, Nikolai will plan well no matter what he does, including failure. Jaydis said softly: "My mission is to restrain Nikolai's ambitions, to be clear, my existence is to force Nikolai not to do it, and since he has decided to do it, no one can stop him." β
"It's not like you're completely out of chance!" Han Jin said bitterly: "Maybe that Nikolai is very powerful, and if you go back, once you are discovered, it will immediately bring disaster to your friends, but ...... You can ask someone else to go back for you, for example, you give something that can prove your identity to someone you trust, and ask him to go back for you, at least you can't let Nikolai frame and design others at will, right?"
Jaydis stared at Han Jin, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly, "Can you help me?"
"No......" Han Jin blinked, and he suddenly couldn't say anything.
"This is the only way, although the chances of success are very small. Jaydis said softly, "Maybe the moment you expose Nikolai, you will be attacked by the Knights of Light and the Cardinals, and no one will believe you at all, but...... That's all I can do. β
"Wait, I didn't promise you!" Han Jin hurriedly said, "I just gave an example!"
"I know, you can say no. Jadis: "No one, not even a god, is in a position to make sacrifices for others, and I don't blame you." β
