Chapter 475: [You Forgot My Warning]
The next day, Rossi wakes up to find himself still immersed in a stinking water prison. But the joyful scene in the dream was so clearly imprinted in his mind.
In my dream, I was so comfortable and happy......
Soon, naturally, the Holy Knight made a knee-jerk comparison.
The reality was so painful, and the dream was so happy—the Holy Knight began to have a faint expectation in his heart: even if it was death, at least let me quickly fall asleep and relive that happy dream again......
It is precisely because of the expectation in the heart that people's psychology usually becomes fragile. This is something that even Rossi himself is not aware of.
If a person doesn't even care about anything, has no hope, then such a person is undoubtedly the most terrifying.
But Rossie, who is no longer such a person.
In addition to death, he was a little irritated by the intolerable environment in the water prison, and he began to look forward to the wonderful dream......
Then, in the afternoon of that day, several soldiers appeared as scheduled, rushed into the water cell, and poured Rossi with a large glass of thick ice juice again!
Hunger, thirst, cold, and pain were all like several sharp swords tormenting Rossi at the same time. And in this case, with a stark contrast, this dream seems to be even more wonderful!
Before you know it, the Holy Knight begins to indulge in this pre-death wonder......
The wheels are rolling.
A horse-drawn carriage galloped over the wilderness in the northwest.
Her Highness Verona sat in the carriage. This beautiful saint woman's face at the moment is not good-looking.
The windows of the carriage had been nailed shut with wooden strips, and she could only make out the direction of the sunlight outside through the cracks in the windows. can barely be judged. I'm heading all the way north.
Just three days ago on the night, a group of Tulip family cavalry rushed into the religious house in Loulan City. Without saying anything, and ignoring the obstruction of the clergy in the religious center, he rushed in directly and found the Holy Highness.
The person who led the team, Verona was very familiar. This is the young general Gaida, who is known as the "Little Two Hundred and Five" in the Tulip family's army. This young impulsively slammed general. He is an old subordinate of Longbottom's lineage.
In the face of those angry clergy, Xiao 205 directly took out an order signed by Duke Tulip and announced to His Highness the Holy Maiden: The Honorary Archbishop of the Northwest Diocese, the Imperial Duke of Tulip, summons His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light to discuss urgent matters!
Undoubtedly, such a decree is very unreasonable: in terms of status within the Church, it is clear that the status of a saint is much higher than that of an honorary archbishop of a local diocese. So, an honorary archbishop "called" the Holy Maiden. It's a ridiculous thing.
However, in the face of the murderous face of the little 25 Gaida General. And the group of Tulip family cavalry under his command who were like wolves and tigers, with the hilt of their swords in their hands, none of the clergy dared to say a word.
Everyone knows that in the northwest, Duke Tulip is the real lord here! What church, canons, national laws, and so on...... It's nowhere near as good as Duke Tulip's words!
Originally a religious place anywhere. All of them are protected by the Holy Knights of the Diocese of the Northwest - but in the northwest, the Holy Knights of the Northwest Diocese are all directly under the Duke of Tulip!
And. Everyone can see that the Archbishop of the Northwest Diocese here, Ram, is the former Archbishop of the North Central Diocese. Mistress Maximus's deputy. And Mistress Maximus. He is now the future successor of the Pope, and it is said that his sect has a very close relationship with the Duke of Tulip.
So, in the Northwest, both for government affairs. Military power, even religious affairs, all powers. It's all in the hands of Duke Tulip alone!
The clergy were helpless in the face of the Tulip soldiers who had unreasonably stormed the religious house, because they knew that there was no reason to speak here.
In the face of these soldiers, Her Highness the Holy Maiden showed a trace of composure at first: "Can I have time to change my clothes?"
But Gaida only replied coldly: "You're not at the ball, Your Highness!
In this way, in the middle of the night, the saint was "invited" out of the religious center by these rude fellows, wearing only a nightgown, and "invited" into a carriage.
Moreover, the doors and windows of the carriage were nailed shut—where was the summoning, where was the invitation?
Fortunately, the saint was a person who knew the times, so she did not make any objections.
What could she say? "I'm a princess! How can a duke have the power to arrest a princess?"
In the eyes of these Tulip Family soldiers, even the regent of Dìdū is nothing compared to Duke Tulip!
In the northwest, everyone only knows that there is a lord here, not a goddess, not an emperor, not a regent, but Du Wei!!
After being stuffed into this "prison car", the road ran for three days.
During these three days, except for the time when they ate and rested every day, these guys would open the door and let the saint out to rest for a while, most of the other time, she had to be locked in a small carriage.
Moreover, it was Gaida himself who "escorted" him along the way. All the horsemen were grim-faced, and not one of them was willing to say a word to the holy woman.
Finally, three days later, the carriage arrived at the city of Gilliat, north of Loulan.
For this abandoned old capital city, Her Highness the Holy Maiden has long heard of it.
She already knew that this was an important stronghold of Duke Tulip, and even inquired that this was probably the Tulip family's weapons arsenal.
However, the guards here are also extremely tight! Especially recently, there are thousands of soldiers guarding this place every day and night. There is also the Decepticon Air Knights patrolling back and forth in the sky!
Just outside the city, there is also a battalion of Jīng sharp cavalry in the interior of the family!
This place, the Holy Maiden used to try to break into the interior a lot, but unfortunately after a few attempts she let go
But I didn't expect that I would be able to walk into this mysterious city one day!
It is a pity that these people did not give the Holy Maiden the opportunity to take a closer look at the city.
Ever since the carriage entered the city. The carriage galloped straight to the old governor's palace. Next. As soon as he got out of the carriage, several soldiers pounced on him, coldly threatened with scimitars. Without any room for resistance, the saint was led by these men into the abandoned governor's palace......
A dark tunnel along the abandoned old house. Although torches were erected on both sides. Still, there was an uncomfortably wet smell of cháo.
Finally, after walking through an iron fence gate. The wolf-like soldiers with fierce faces did not follow, pointing coldly to the front of the iron fence gate. Motioned for the saint to continue walking inside.
Although the saint's face remained calm, her heart was inevitably panicked.
Finally. At the end of the secret passage, she saw Dewey.
Du Wei wears a black sè sè mage robe, which is a special black sè robe that symbolizes the magic bachelors in his magic guild. It also wears a magic badge representing the members of the Academy of Magic.
Du Wei watched coldly as the saintess walked in. His face was cold and majestic, his chin was slightly raised, and his expression was cold, as cruel as a king!
Her Highness had never seen Du Wei look like this. So she panicked a little, but soon, the woman forced herself to calm down. She even squeezed out a smile: "Du Wei, I came as your 'call'. Excuse me, Grand Duke Tulip, is there anything special?"
Du Wei's face was indifferent and unsmiling. Pointing to a table next to him. Said coldly: "Sit down." ”
The saint looked at the table, and there was a crystal bottle, and the amber liquid in the bottle was obviously a fine wine.
The saint smiled: "Could it be that the Duke is so far away, I will arrest it." Is it just for me to drink with you?"
Du Wei did not reply to this sentence. Instead, he sat down and picked up the bottle with his own hands. Fill the cups for both of them, and don't say a word. So he took his cup and drank it all.
The goddess was a little unnatural, but she also picked up the cup. I drank with Du Wei. After putting down the wine glass, she smiled charmingly: "It's a pity that the wine is good wine." But Du Wei ...... Do you like to drink in such dark dungeons?"
"I don't have that habit. Du Wei's voice was the same as his expression today, looking cold and hard.
"Hehe......" The saint smiled: "So, Grand Duke Tulip, do you like to dress so ceremoniously when you are drinking?"
"I don't have that habit either. Du Wei still shook his head coldly: "What I hate most is dressing up." Today is an exception. ”
"Why, why?" the saint sensed Du Wei's coldness, not like it was disguised.
Du Weidi's eyes finally fixed on the saint's face: "For two reasons: first, today I am going to do something bad that I don't like very much......! I have come here today in full costume to show my respect for you, and I think it would be better for me to dress a little more ceremoniously as I watched a princess being tortured. ”
The last sentence, the undisguised chill, stunned the saint.
After a long time, the saint forced a smile: "You...... Are you kidding?"
"Maybe I'm a big joker, but not today. Du Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at Verona coldly: "Especially after I lost hundreds of loyal and brave subordinates!"
Bite!
The holy woman's hand shook, and a crystal cup fell to the floor, shattering.
Du Wei leaned over slowly, and suddenly pinched the chin of the saint, his eyes were undisguised cruel!
"Verona, Your Highness, I think, do you remember that year's New Year, on that night in dìdū, in that shabby tavern, the two of us used to drink together?"
"I ...... I remember. The saint said with difficulty, and Du Wei pinched her chin, but she did not break free.
"So, do you remember what I told you at the beginning?" Du Wei's eyes gradually became cold: "If you go against me, you will only have two results in the end, either you will die, or you will die ugly!"
Saint: "............"
"It seems that you have forgotten my jǐng complaint at that time!" Du Wei stared at the holy woman, and finally, he let go of his hand. He squeezed it very hard, and there were even a few red finger marks on the delicate chin of the saint: "All along, although I don't like you as a woman, I feel that you are actually very pitiful." ”
Du Wei poured himself a glass of wine: "There is nothing wrong with you, it's just that you happened to be born in a royal family, and you happened to be the daughter of His Royal Highness the eldest prince, Yawen." Everything that comes after that doesn't have much to do with you, a young girl...... That's right, you just want revenge, you want revenge. ”
The saint did not speak.
"I think you're pitiful, so I haven't dealt with you much. Even if you almost ruined my business at that auction. Even if you come to the northwest and make some small moves on my turf...... Hmph, let me think about it...... You're trying to win over some people in the religious centers in the northwest, right? You're trying to confuse my army in the name of missionary work, and you're even trying to seduce the generals in our army...... It's a pity that you've failed all of that. You see, I know everything you do in the Northwest! Later, Miss Dellie infiltrated from my city of Gilliat, and made such a farce, and you helped a lot in the middle...... At least I sent some news to her!But Verona, my Holy Highness!That's because I'm merciful, I think you're a poor girl, and ...... Your previous efforts have failed, and you have done nothing to me. ”
