5. Rose Gaze Chapter 249 Peace Talks and the Truth
Alan and Michau sent Amber's body out in the morning, and returned to the castle in the afternoon with a message from the Red Pavilion.
"Agreed to negotiate over there?" Dinah asked.
Alan replied, "They'll come in tonight for peace talks." ”
Tonight? So fast?
Mi Xiu, who was on the side, added: "Although it is so, their leader is unpredictable, and there may be some conspiracy. ”
Helen nodded, "That guy called 'Don't Laugh' is a weirdo indeed. Is there anything eccentric besides him? ”
Mi Xiu thought about it again and said, "After examining Anboer's body, the demon witch Hei Ningxue knelt in front of that strange man and swore allegiance. ”
"It doesn't matter." Clara asked, "Did you hear any strategic intentions or other moves from them?" ”
Michaeu and Eren were so embarrassed that they couldn't report it: when they entered the tent, they saw Lydia clumsily learning how to knit a scarf with Black Snow. Many times, too unbelievable facts, or less to say.
"They brought in some more food." Alan bowed his head and reported, "In addition, Princess Lydia has instructed that he should not laugh or drink, and only give him a glass of water when negotiating." ”
That's the most important thing.
"It's a mess." Dinah shook her head in annoyance, turned around and ordered, "Go and take stock of how many people we still have in combat, so that they are fully ready for battle." From the main entrance to the lobby, let them feel our majesty too. ”
Helen added, "Alan, you go to the door to meet them in the evening. You'll have to convince them to bring fewer soldiers in. The number of people entering the city should be half the number of our warriors...... No, it should be a third. ”
Mishew and Alan respectfully retreated, leaving the Council of Four uneasy in the throne hall.
As the clock ticked by, Dinah and Helen were surprised to find that their worries were unfounded.
In the dim sky, only three lone figures stepped on the drawbridge at the inner gate of Ice Wolf Castle. Hei Ningxue used her soul magic to light a flame and walked in front to light the way, and Buxiao and Lydia walked side by side in the back.
There were only three of them?
This made Alan feel a lot more relaxed.
The inner door of the castle slowly opened, like the mouth of a monster, devouring three sparse figures.
When the three of them walked into the main building of the castle, they saw thousands of "Rose Gaze" soul magicians and warriors holding weapons and magic tools, leading all kinds of demonic beasts and zombies that had been refined, and lined up on both sides.
Mi Xiu stood in front with a wand on his face with a sullen face, "The three distinguished guests came alone like this, they can't help but underestimate our 'Rose Gaze', right?" ”
Hei Ningxue was about to open her mouth when she saw Lydia glaring at her. knew that she owed it, so she could only pout aggrievedly and stand aside.
Lydia said in a loud voice, "If you want to scare people, you might as well put a big oil pot here, make a slaughtering table next to it, and hang a few axes and knives to cut people, maybe even more terrifying." ”
When he said this, not only did Mi Xiu's forehead burst out, but even Hei Ningxue frowned beside him: Someone who thinks I owe it, why do you owe more words than I owe it? Lydia, you double standard dog.
Mi Xiu was just about to get angry, and Clara's voice floated behind him, "Since a few guests have arrived, please ask Master Mi Xiu to take them in first." ”
The soldiers saluted Clara respectfully. She just waved her hand, "I'll go outside and pick a flower, and I'll see you later." With that, she walked around the corner and left on her own.
Mi Xiu forcibly suppressed his anger, "Three guests, please come here." ”
The three of them followed Mixiu wordlessly through the narrow hallway, pushing open the thick door of the throne hall, and a large table large enough to seat thirty people was placed in the center. On both sides were still the queue of warriors and soul magicians, looking solemnly ahead.
The only person in the room with a relaxed expression was Alan who was standing next to the table pouring water, but he didn't dare to speak, just pulled out a chair for them.
Not long after the three of them sat down, the "Council of Four" made its debut:
Dinah, draped in a crimson cloak, was full of indescribable arrogance in her gestures;
Jane rarely took off her bloodstained apron, but she still had the bearing of treating human life like a mustard;
Helen wears glasses and holds a book, trying to pretend to be a stranger without smiling;
Clara looked natural, and found a chair to coil on top of it.
The atmosphere at the negotiation table suddenly became awkward: none of the "four-person council" was the type that would be soft, and the four faces couldn't make up a smile.
On the other hand, the Red Pavilion is here: if you don't smile, your expression is indifferent. Hei Ningxue's evil smile added fuel to the fire, and it always made people want to punch her.
So far, only relying on the only normal person in the audience, the great "Princess of Fire" Lydia, to mediate to support this discordant scene.
She chuckled dryly, "Leaders, Rose Gaze, glad to meet you. Today, let's talk about the peace talks that have been put on hold for a long time. ”
Hei Ningxue's evil smile on the side intensified, and it seemed that she was about to lose a little bit.
Lydia gave her a wink, suggesting that she should not continue to behave in an already embarrassing situation.
"I'm so sorry, I ...... This table ......" Hei Ningxue hurriedly unfolded her feather fan to cover her face and laughed quietly for a while, "This table ...... It's not actually a table......."
What's this new way to open up a conversation?
Lydia's curiosity stirred again: "It's not a table, so what is it?" ”
Hei Ningxue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked, "Have you noticed a hole in the middle of the table?" ”
Lydia asked, "This hole...... Is it for a turntable for passing vegetables? ”
Hei Ningxue said: "A steel pipe could have been fixed here......"
Lydia instantly understood what the table was for, or more appropriately, it should be called "stage". She felt a burst of heat on her face, and complained: "This ridiculous prop, shouldn't it be what you recommended to the Ice Wolf King?" ”
Hei Ningxue put away her smile and said aggrievedly: "How can Her Royal Highness the princess describe it like this." The Ice Wolf King's original idea was to install a 'slashing frame' on it, intending to watch the skinning and deboning on the spot. ”
From this point of view, Hei Ningxue used the lust of the Ice Wolf King to prevent countless performances with thousands of cuts, which can be regarded as immeasurable merit.
It's just that it would be better if it wasn't said on such an occasion.
Dinah scolded angrily, and the sword in her hand had already risen with soul flames. But Jane's butcher's knife was faster, and the twin knives pierced through the air, whirling straight to the head of Black Snow.
Hei Ningxue just wanted to fight back, but she felt a flower in front of her, and the two butcher knives had flown back, even faster and fiercer than just now!
"Defense!" Clara and Helen shot at the same time, and two soulic forces flew out in a spiral, and they simply flew two butcher knives cleanly. But what the two didn't expect was that after the butcher's knife, there was a cold light rushing towards Dinah!
"Ice Spell: Black Ice Blade!" Dina recited the spell, and the saber instantly slashed out seven pitch-black ice blades, heavily sealing the cold ray.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
That cold light actually smashed four ice blades one after another before it was knocked away.
"What a strong soul power!" Dina couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of weapon?" ”
This is certainly not a weapon. The Council of Four soon realized that the glass of water in front of Buxiao was gone.
With just one glass of water, he knocked Jane's two butcher knives flying, and still had the strength to break through Dinah's four ice blades?
The enraged "Council of Four" had to force calm down. Dina put away the arrogance on her face and asked, "You are the owner of the 'Red Pavilion'?" ”
He was too lazy to answer this kind of knowingly questioning without smiling, but out of politeness, he still snorted slightly in his nostrils. It's just that this sound sounds a little more provocative.
Helen suddenly got up and pressed Dinah and Jane back into their seats, and turned her head to reopen the topic: "I heard that you have placed the demons in the Ice Wolf Castle?" ”
Hei Ningxue smiled lightly, "This question, you only need to look at me, and it will be obvious. ”
As soon as she spoke, she Dinah. The arrogant woman slapped the table in anger and shouted, "These beasts of the Demon Clan have harmed so many people, you will help them!" ”
At this point, Lydia couldn't come back, so she could only laugh dryly twice, "First of all, they are also human; Moreover, they, like you and me, are traversers; Besides, the culprit should be the Demon Lord, not the bottom of those demons. ”
"That's nice, you also know that you're also a time-traveler." Clara said viciously, "And what is your position against us?" ”
Lydia spread her hands calmly, "This sassy young lady, I am fighting with the people of Ice Wolf Castle, and it was you who came out of nowhere to intervene. If it weren't for the fact that we were all 'time-travelers', why would we bother to sit down and talk? ”
In order to prevent Dinah's temper from becoming extraneous again, Helen hurriedly grabbed the conversation: "The princess is right, we are all traversers, why bother fighting each other?" Moreover, the appeal of our 'Rose Gaze' is simple: a space where the traveler can live freely, nothing more. ”
Lydia said, "Our leader said that if the conditions are reasonable, we can give you the 'Ice Wolf Castle'. ”
Helen said: "Yes, in addition, we have a holy relic that accidentally fell into your hands, and I don't know if it can be returned to us." ”
It was an unexpected topic, and Lydia was a little unsure of the situation, and turned her head to look at Bu Smile.
Seeing that Lydia didn't respond, Helen hurriedly said, "We, 'Rose Gaze', used to be the top research institution in Tiandu, and we have a wealth of demonic beast and soul technology to share. I don't know if you are satisfied with such a quid pro quo? ”
"What is it?" Bu Xiao suddenly spoke, and the whole hall seemed to start to freeze.
Helen said casually, "It's the 'full moon'......"
She suddenly covered her mouth.
"As I expected." Buxiao calmly stated, "Between the 'Full Moon Ritual' and the 'Refining Remnant', you will subconsciously choose the former. ”
Lydia and Hei Ningxue also looked at them puzzled, had they forgotten that they had been fighting hard for a long time before, and they were all fighting for the "Refining Remnant Chapter"?
Buxiao slowly got up and whispered, "Why did the Demon Lord make an alliance with the Ice Wolf Castle thousands of miles away?" Why did the Korsun clan appear near Ice Wolf Castle? Why did even Rose Gaze try to take the Ice Wolf Castle? Ice Wolf Castle, why is it so important? ”
Lydia had a faint feeling in her mind that these were no coincidences.
"The root of everything comes from the rebellion in Tiandu." With the reasoning of not smiling, a frightened expression gradually appeared on the face of the Council of Four.
Buxiao continued: "We have heard the sound of the four of you opening the escape pod in the midst of the rebellion. Obviously, there was someone else in the escape pod besides you. ”
Alan cautiously interrupted, "Mr. Don't laugh, there are only four of them on that escape boat, I saw it with my own eyes." ”
He didn't smile, "What you see may not be real." There's a bit of something else on it, it's just that you don't count them as 'people'. ”
