Chapter 394: That means you're alone now, right?
Two blocks away, the knight-guided Lion Court tent is on the side of the main road.
Rowe looked around and saw several mobile circus tents occupying the main intersection, surrounded by people. In contrast, only a dozen meters away, this side is surprisingly quiet.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has instructed you not to report it, you can go in at any time."
The knight stopped at the doorway and said.
Luo Wei retracted his gaze, his expression tightened slightly, the knight's words were more like advising him to be mentally prepared to face that figure again, and before he entered, he began to give him strength from the attitude of the people around him.
What an old monster.
Under the watchful eye of the knight, Rowe lifted the curtain and walked in, the huge tent was covered with a thick carpet, the candles were lit in a trance, and the bookshelves and sofas for hospitality were all furnished, like a place where he could read a book quietly or concentrate on political affairs.
And all the furnishings in the tent are obviously in used condition, unlike those that have only recently been moved.
Really...... How much of a setup does this guy have in the city?
Looking up into the depths, behind a thick desk, the man who had invited him over sat there, dressed in the lion's cloak he wore in summer, burying his head in front of a mountain of books, and the candlelight on his face was a little dim.
Prime Minister of Lion Court, Randall.
Unlike those who are in power on the surface, the man in front of Luo Wei is an out-and-out monster, compared to those who have suffered in the Crownless City before, the victims who have lost their lives, relatives and homes because of this one are afraid that several Crownless Cities combined cannot withstand it.
Finishing the letterhead in his hand, Randall slowly packed the letter into a box encrusted with gems and pushed it to the side of the table with his hands. The only black-armored knight behind him stepped forward to pick up the box and walked straight towards Rowe, giving him a cold look through the visor as he passed, and then walked out of the tent without looking back.
"Huh...... Rowe Brooke, welcome. β
The two of them were the only ones left in the tent, and Randall slowly raised his head, his posture with ease, and his broad, resolute chin exuding a composure that was very different from the others, and it was impossible to get information about emotions and motives from that face.
Even though he had already dealt with each other in the last round, now facing each other, Luo Wei still couldn't see through the other party.
"What are you looking for me to do?" Luo Wei looked at the other party and said.
He didn't care what was in the box just now, and it was not surprising that he came out of this tent and decided the life and death of a certain area of the continent.
Randall replied with a low chuckle, "Anyway, this city is still in the hands of the Lion Court, and you are the main contributor to solving this disaster." As interim receiver, I certainly need to express my special gratitude. β
Without waiting for Rowe to answer, Randall's gaze sharpened in his smileβ
"After all, this city should have no survivors in my expectations."
The tone of the second half of the sentence is clearly accentuated, compared with Luo Wei's coldness, from this distance, you can feel the oppression emanating from the other party, like an invisible flame, suppressing the atmosphere in the entire tent.
Don't you shy away from it.
came up so explicitly, and confessed that he didn't care about the life or death of the city from the beginning, and he really didn't act.
"You want to say that I got in the way of your plans?" Luo Wei squinted at it, which also meant that his tone was clearly accentuated.
"Where," Randall smiled lightly, "it's better than you thought you had created a situation that was enough for me to be thankful for, and as for what I had already said last time, it may not be necessary to be open-minded, but I can guarantee that it will never happen again." β
Rowe stood there and closed his eyes.
Ordinary people may be afraid of him, but they don't think so at all, although facing it alone also makes him feel pressure, but for Luo Wei, in the end of the predetermined ending, the other party is just a loser like him.
That's why he decided to come and meet.
"It's really not a threat to use a clumsy assassin to tempt," Luo Wei opened his eyes and looked at the other party coldly, "But I'm a small-minded person, and unless the other party apologizes with death, there is no forgiveness." β
With his cold words, there were water-colored waves in the tent slowly swinging away.
Luo Wei's hand was not on the sword, but the candle flame in the air began to shake, and the light hit the black-haired face, and the shadow darkened.
"Huh...... It seems that my life is in your hands. Faced with Rowe's unabashed killing intent, Randall smiled deeply, "In that case, how about I offer some advice that will help you?" β
This old fox.
Luo Wei's expression narrowed, not so much an exchange, but this was the original intention of coming to him, but it was a way to test.
Although I didn't come to kill him today.
But at this moment, Luo Wei really began to think a little about the feasibility of this matter.
"It's worthy of being the young leader who solved the whole incident this time," Randall maintained a calm posture, glancing at Rowe meaningfully, making it impossible to see through his hole cards, "Even the will of the mechanic goddess who was abandoned and re-assigned to the mission can't be compared to you." β
ββ¦β¦β
Sure enough, I know.
Questions that were not confirmed by Lucifer were answered in such places.
In Rovi's opinion, maybe Randall knew from the beginning that Icarus was a defective product that had been exploited, and the development layout of the Craftsmen's Guild was completely within his expectations.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't know as much about Floating City as you do," Randall explained, "and I'm not interested in what you've learned about the Legion and the Temple. β
"So what are you going to say," Luo Wei looked at the other with a blank face, "Considering your appearance, I hope you understand that I have no intention of spending the celebration time with you here." β
"That's a pity," Randall chuckled under his breath, looking up for a different look, "After what happened here, you should know what the voices of the country will think of our Five Kings." β
Luo Wei didn't answer this time.
He knew what the other person was trying to say.
"In just one day, the paperwork on dealing with the Five Princesses has been lined up all the way from White Moon Bay to the Holy Flame Ridge, and there are a lot of proposals for me to return to China and deal with it carefully," Randall looked at Rowe, his eyes gradually sharpened, "What do you think I should think about this, Rowe Brooke?" β
"You're threatening me?" Facing the momentum of the other party's persecution, Luo Wei also raised his head.
In his process of eradicating the shadow of the Third World that has taken root beneath the surface of the water, and changing the course of the ending, something is indeed and inevitably changed.
For example, the Valley of the Wailing is now a Loaffry possession, and the Orcs are apparently Loaffle's subjects.
For example, after the events of the Uncrowned City, Loveley was rewarded with feats and achievements that were not achieved in the previous round.
These deeds were actively contributed to by him, and they were also the foreshadowing for the future layout, but at the same time, they inevitably made Lovery attract the attention of various factions in the Lion Garden. Part of these people is to show their loyalty to the prime minister, and the other part is really afraid that the princess will seize the right to speak and affect the next war in the Lion Garden.
And Randall was keenly aware of that.
Luo Wei looked cold, is it because it is different from the progress expected by the other party, obviously only the complete history that he has witnessed, but the other party seems to know that the ending has been rewritten.
It's no wonder why so many people fear him.
This insightful mind, to say that he knows nothing about the affairs of the Third World, Luo Wei absolutely does not believe it.
"Huh...... The sword is in your hand," Randall seemed to put himself in a passive position in the face of Rowe's words, "and you are also pushing our royal family onto a stage that does not belong to her. β
Do you want to say that my plan is hurting Loveley?
Luo Wei raised the corners of his mouth coldly, this is really ironic, obviously he didn't even look at his own princess on a formal occasion, but now he acted as if he cared about her safety.
"So your suggestion is for me to leave the Five Princesses?"
"It's a good idea, or you can choose to stick with it," Sitting there in a lion's cloak, Randall's body seemed to begin to emit silent karmic fire, and behind him was the resentment accumulated in countless wars, it was hard to imagine that this was the breath that humans could exude, "If you choose this path-"
Randall gave an unabashed look of aggression.
"I think we'll see each other again in the future."
β¦β¦
Emerging from the tent in the Lion Garden, Rowe stayed where he was for a few seconds.
Obviously, Randall has seen through the current situation with ulterior motives, it is really sad to get along with such a monster, if he does it himself just now, not to mention that the ancient god puppet may appear at any time, even if he cuts off the other party's head, it is a question mark whether he really killed him.
What a troublesome character......
"Your Excellency seems to appreciate you," said the knight who was guarding the doorway to the side, "I have never seen Your Excellency so happy as you are today. β
Luo Wei turned his gaze away, but there was a scorn in his heart.
That can also be called happy, how harsh he usually treats you......
"You're from Lion's Garden, aren't you?" The knight looked at him with a shiny gaze, and then said, "If you can solve this incident in the Crownless City, you are worthy of being a person valued by Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please continue to be active in the future, and I will also aim for this." β
ββ¦β¦β
Luo Wei didn't say much to the other party, the current Lion Court under Randall's power, there is indeed a sense of fanaticism that envelops the whole country, and the knight in front of him is probably a microcosm of the atmosphere of this era.
There's nothing wrong with making a contribution, but after achieving an almost pathological fanaticism for it, it's hard for him to face the eyes of his peers like this again.
It's a bit too fanatical.
Luo Wei retracted his thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in the direction of the circus light, which was not too long to delay with the old monster, but it was really a little breathless, and it was time for him to change his mood and continue his chance encounter in the city.
However.
As he stepped through the shadows of the area, a slender jade hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed him behind the obstacle.
"What the hell are you doing...! A man came to meet such a dangerous person! β
Being grabbed by the collar, Luo Wei looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with an eager face, and opened his mouth slightly.
"Why are you here?"
"Why am I here," Ayining retorted in a stern whisper, "Do you know what you're doing?!" It's really going to happen if you don't look at you for a moment! β
ββ¦β¦β
Luo Wei was stunned at first, and his expression gradually began to become a little playful.
Look, isn't this just the time to meet by chance?
He leaned down on his cheek and kissed the other party's lips, Ayi Ning looked startled, hurriedly dodged but was still touched in the face, pushed him away, and his face turned red in anger.
"You...! Can you please not be so shameless, I'm not kidding you! β
"So that's why you've followed all the way?" Luo Wei smiled, "Isn't your sister arguing with Shaye, what about them?" β
"You even know about it......!" Ayining took a step back and looked at him vigilantly, angry, "Shaye left alone, Arttana is with her sister now, so you don't have to worry about anything!" β
"That means you're alone now, aren't you?"
Ayining: "? β
Luo Wei grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side, facing her with a cold look in his eyes, he lowered his head and felt a little funny.
"This is not the place to talk, if you want to hear me explain why, just accompany me to the festival and talk while walking."
ββ¦β¦β
From the crowd of circus crowds to the main road, facing the dazzling array of celebration stalls on the street, Ayining walked beside her with a frown.
This distance should be normal, right...... If it is seen by my sister, it is said that it is a chance encounter.
Rowe didn't mind her cautious behavior, stepped with her on the lantern-covered ground, and then casually asked, "What kind of person do you think Randall is?" β
Ayining looked at the streets around her inadvertently, thinking that it was best not to suddenly appear out of nowhere.
"I haven't dealt with him," she said lightly, "didn't you also emphasize to us how dangerous he was when you discussed it with the Five Princesses, and what did you want to do with such a person in the past?" β
"Randall Ospod - the outstanding strategist, politician, and doer of the continent from the Lion Garden," Luo Wei said with his eyes closed as if asking himself, "Although the world has always thought that the Lion Court has changed dramatically in the last twenty years, in fact, most of this has only been done in the ten years since he became prime minister, and I did remind you not to go to him alone, no matter what happens." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ayining did not answer.
She could tell that Rowe was going to say something to her.
"But he probably has nothing to do with the truth I'm telling you."
ββ¦β¦ Why? Ayining was puzzled.
And Luo Wei just pointed to the sky above her head, she looked up and stared for a moment, and soon understood.
The possibility that Randall has something to do with the Third World is indeed very small, and with the relationship between the other party and the temple, he can also instruct a strong person like Celes of the Prayer Church to have a close relationship with the power of the present god. If Randall is behind his back to the Third World, then there's no reason why the gods' judgment bombards the floating city when they see the cause and effect doesn't fall on him at the same time.
Seeing that Ayining understood the meaning, Luo Weiyi nodded, since it is not an arrangement of the third world, then Randall may actually be similar to him, they are also from the Lion Garden, but they are not actually subordinate to any forces.
As for what was the motive for starting the continental war, then only he himself knows.
"So...... Would you like to see what he thinks about what is happening? β
"Well, I also said that we are not in a passive situation right now," Rowe looked around, slowly pulling her to the mouth of an alley in front of an alley, "When the enemy is unable to move an inch in this world, Randall may be their biggest threat. β
Ayining was stunned in the shadows of the backlight.
"You mean ......"
"It's called the sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of it," Rowe smiled, "If there is any action, as long as Randall is still around, the possibility of the enemy taking the initiative to trouble us is very small." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ayining opened her mouth.
In comparison, the threat of the few of them was indeed much smaller than that of the Prime Minister of Lion Garden.
In a situation where only a limited number of actions can be made in the Third World, each action must be done with caution and ensure that it causes sufficient effect, and Randall is indeed a much more valuable target than them......
"I really didn't expect you to think that......" Ayining covered her face with one hand.
That is, let Randall be a substitute for the dead ghost in front, so that a few of them can act freely, but he can even think of such a bad idea, and the object is still the prime minister of the Lion Court who controls the situation on the mainland......
"Safety comes first," Luo Wei shrugged, "If I can't even take care of my own life, I am tripped by people everywhere, I am afraid every day, and how can I do my own thing as I want, I don't plan to be a bitter hero." β
"So what?" Ayining felt a burst of amusement, "Your temptation was successful?" β
Luo Wei suddenly felt a stomachache when he thought of this, and he held on to the wall at the mouth of the alley.
"No...... And the old thing put a ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Ayining is a little crying and laughing now.
So why did you go to him, of course, looking at his appearance, it's not that he doesn't have a gain, it's probably just because he was calculated by the other party so he is not very willing, the boy is really ......
Looking at his appearance of not admitting defeat, Ayining relaxed her tense heart and smiled: "Don't be reckless next time you meet it, isn't there still us?" β
βοΌβ
Luo Wei looked up.
"You're not going to leave?"
βοΌβ
Ayi blinked stunnedly, her mind buzzed over again, and her expression gradually enlarged.
Before he could react, Luo Wei grabbed her hand.
"Then don't do it next time, since you took the initiative to send it to the door."
ββ¦ Huh? β
"I've been unable to find you at the celebration, and you're looking forward to it with my sister behind my back, right?"
βοΌοΌοΌβ
was caught off guard and pulled out of the shadow of the alley, and his hand was still held by the other party, Ayi was stunned.
The crowd looked this way.
Ayining: (β.β)
They were ushered into the glossy street, and the bright lights hit the faces of the two men at a glance, and their fingers were tightly linked.
Whew, sh...... I......
Facing everyone's clear gaze, the girl's expression froze, and her face began to heat up rapidly.
ββ¦β¦β
I...... I......
That's not what I meant!!
