Chapter 317: Desert Night
The moon enters the middle of the sky, a full moon is embedded in the deep blue night like a jade disk, several night stars flicker, the breeze blows, the ground is flooded with ripples of sand, and there is silence in all directions.
Under the cold moonlight, the sand dunes gently undulated, reflecting large shadows.
In a shadow, the shadows of the two people merged with the dunes, and in the moonlight, the faces of the two people could be seen clearly, and they were Duke Kenshin and Holcombe.
At this time, the two of them talked as easily as old friends for many years, completely devoid of the sword and crossbow tension in the Oasis Palace during the day.
With a faint smile on his face, Holcomb said, "There is no mistake, Neo is indeed transcendent, I can never be wrong." ”
Kenshin said, "Transcendental? It's the same as we speculated, we were all deceived by him, and his false record deceived all of us. Hey. ”
"He is a magic knight with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, I thought about it for a while, it should be that his cultivation has only reached the transcendent realm, but he has several special skills that are very powerful, which makes people mistakenly think that he is a master of the realm."
"No wonder, the people around him are all cultivators of the transcendent realm, and I am still wondering, how can a realm powerhouse be surrounded by low-level cultivators." Kenshin kept nodding,
"Your Majesty has made it clear that if it is confirmed that Neo is a transcendent warrior, we don't need to hide it anymore, we want to take this opportunity to take the oasis in one fell swoop, the central pyramid of the ancient tomb of the French king is buried under the oasis palace, so many years of planning must succeed in one fell swoop this time, and no accidents are allowed on the way, so our two families don't have to hide anymore, all those who stand in the way will become dust in this sea of sand!"
"In the past, we hid our edge just to confuse this group of people in the oasis, but now the oasis has been almost divided by us, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Neo, we could almost take the oasis without blood."
"So~~?" Kenshin pondered for a moment, "Did he take the Soul Gathering Spirit Bead?" ”
Holcomb raised his head, looked at the night sky of Youlan, and said, "This question is no longer important, whether it is the Soul Gathering Orb he took or not, we have to find another way to reopen the tomb of the Dharma King." If he had taken the Soul Gathering Orb, it would have been impossible for us to recover it. ”
"Oh, why do you say that?" Kenshin asked,
"In addition to those two transcendent martial artists, there is also an old man beside him, this old man is seriously injured and is a great knight."
"You mean, he snatched the Soul Gathering Spirit Bead just to heal this old man's injuries?"
"Yes, my people have carefully observed, this old man has been sleeping all day long, it is obvious that the spiritual sea has been severely damaged, Neo and his other two companions are unharmed, he asked for mental medicine, it can only be for this old man. You should have also received the news that this old man is called the High Priest by them, and he is an important person among them, so even if this old man is a low-level Grand Knight, they will have to treat him at any cost. ”
"So, is he the one who did the failure of this deal?"
"I can't say for sure yet, but he's a serious suspect," Holcomb looked at the bright moon in the sky, as if admiring the ice wheel and the jade disc passing through the sky, "This deal failed, and the timing of Sosketu's snatching of the Soul Gathering Orb was so accurate, it was obvious that there was an inner ghost among us." ”
"It's obvious, do you have the object of suspicion?" Kenshin also raised his head, as if admiring the beautiful night,
"Fan Kueden is calm and sophisticated, he has followed His Majesty the Blood Lion for many years, and there have been several times before that there have been several items that are more important than the Soul Gathering Spirit Bead through his hands without making a mistake, and this time, he is the least suspicious. Bergero and Deripatos are the nephews and nieces of His Majesty the Blood Lion, the two of them have done several things for His Majesty in the country before, and they have done a very beautiful job, this time let the two brothers and sisters come, just to give them a chance to perform, and to entrust them with important responsibilities in the future, they also know that this transaction is very important, and it is also closely related to the future of the two of them, and they have no reason to be this ghost. ”
"In that case, it's only Freega and Baberg?"
"Ferrega has a strong character, and it is hard to imagine that he will betray Steelblade with every task he asks, no matter how difficult it is. Only Baberg, who had held a grudge since he was humiliated by the Bloody Blade, and who never hid it. This time, Neo took out the trading items and was facing his exercises, and he was the most suspicious. ”
Kenshin said noncommittally: "Freega is very urban, good at hiding, and Baberg has a violent temperament and is unruly. The two of them have been working together against the enemy for decades, and countless births and deaths have long made their friendship unbreakable, so it is impossible for Freega to stay out of what Barberg wants to do, and if it is really Barberg's trickster this time, I don't believe that Freega will not know at all. ”
"Once, everyone complimented Barberg, saying that his Mad King Fury Slash was the strongest fighting spirit on the South Wind Continent, and Barberg was happy to boast of it. But he was ridiculed by the blood blade on the side, and made a provocation, the blood blade attacked and attacked, and used the blood knife to break Barburg's mad king's angry slash, at that time, if it wasn't for Ferrega to help Barburg resist the blood blade's blood knife at a critical time, I was afraid that Barberg would make a fool of himself on the spot. ”
"The mad king's fury slash has its name, hum, if it weren't for Ferrega to guard your ass, a mad king like you would just be a pawn who doesn't know how to live or die. Bloodblade left these words and walked away with a wild laugh. Afterwards, although His Majesty Steelblade forced Bloodblade to apologize to Barburg, a deep hatred had already been settled. ”
Holcomb smiled slightly, and said: "Ferrega and Barberg have been wandering in the High Templar Realm for more than ten years, but they just can't break through, some people say that this is because someone in your Cyclops Empire specifically stuck them, and it is also said that the bloody blade to humiliate Barberg was also deliberate. Ferrega and Barberg are the most promising masters of the Cyclops Empire to break through to the realm realm, and their skills are unique, once they break through, their combat power is likely to surpass you and the blood blade, and more importantly, they are not of the same mind as you, you are worried that once the two of them break through, they will leave you, and they will spread the resentment they have suffered over the years on your head. That's why you and the Bloody Blade will suppress them, and some people say... ”
"Nonsense!" , Holcomb's words were interrupted angrily by Kenshin, "How can my Kenshin be a relative villain, they can't break through, it's because they can't cultivate themselves." The inability to break through for a long time made them feel anxious and hateful, and they blamed others for no reason. Holcombe, you are also a domain powerhouse, how could you listen to such rumors. ”
Holcomb spread his hands, "Of course I don't believe it, it's just that everyone has a nose and an eye in their words." ”
Jian Xin waved his sleeves, as if to dispel these rumors, "This time the transaction failed, and the Soul Gathering Spirit Bead was also lost in the hands of the two of them, I haven't held them accountable for this matter yet, they don't explain this matter clearly, I'm afraid that there will be no place for them in the future." ”
Holcomb tilted his head, looked at Kenshin and said, "Oh? ”
Holcomb's gaze inadvertently touched Duke Kenshin's, and the other party's eyes were indifferent, as if they were only talking about the sand on the ground.
The two were silent for a while, and Holcomb said: "All suspicions seem to point to Barberg, but I don't believe it, it's too obvious, Frega and Barberg can't be so stupid, I think there are other ghosts." ”
Kenshin replied to the question: "No matter who is the inner ghost, I will take advantage of this oasis incident to remove all hidden dangers!" ”
Holcomb quietly watched Jian Xin and didn't answer, Jian Xin changed his words and said, "However, you don't doubt Van Kuyden and the others at all?" ”
"Before this inner ghost was confirmed, everyone was suspicious, and now I have a little eyebrows, give me a little more time, and I can find out this inner ghost!"
"Since you're so sure, then I won't have much to do. If it's Ferrega and Barberg in the end, then I'll kill them with my own hands," Kenshin's flat tone was full of murderous aura,
Holcomb said with a slight mockery, "You seem to wish it were both of them, but I'm kind of convinced of the rumors now." ”
"That's your business."
The two were speechless for a while, the moonlight was like water, the sand sea under the moonlight was as white as frost, and a few clouds floated by, leaving a faint shadow between the waves of the sand sea.
