Chapter 574: Honesty and Integrity
divlign="ener">
Tohezi spared a few more circles around the surrounding streets, only to see that everywhere there were closed roads and large crossbows, and some of the sturdy roofs even had heavy ballistae installed! I'm afraid that if you go in, a cat will be arrested and interrogated as a suspicious 'person', right?
As he walked, he thought about how to get in touch with the ghost magician who came and went without a trace, but suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation of life energy, which was a special fluctuation of Navia, although it was extremely thin but mixed with the dual breath of the demon and the moon, probably because the soul structure had changed after cultivating the "Taiyin Refining Form".
Following this faint fluctuation, Tohezi walked a few streets to a secluded two-story building, where there was no noise of people coming and going and the sound of army patrols, and only a few slight insect chirpings rippled in the quiet air on the old-toned streets, creating a sense of quiet peace.
The door was unlocked, and Tozyko walked in, along the old wooden staircase that rattled with a clang, through the narrow and dimly lit staircase, and pushed the door into a sunny room that exuded the smell of ancient wood. The bright morning sun shone obliquely through the window, just in time to illuminate Navia's rough and fierce but calm face brightly and clearly, and it no longer looked like the haze of a few days ago.
Watching him slowly savor the plates of dishes on the table, as well as the several bottles of beer at hand, Toheko also sat down, and said while eating the braised vegetables on the table, "You're in a good mood." You haven't been back for the past few days, what good things have you encountered?"
Navia remained calm, like a thick black-green rock whose edges had been smoothed by the wind and waves, and replied in a rare flat tone: "The old bishop's grievance seems to be settled without me. You don't know it, but the new king's minister is indeed a righteous man, and I have been trying to get definite news in the past few days. Except for a banquet held by the Duke and the King's Army when he first arrived, he stayed alone in his lodgings and refused to entertain guests. A few self-righteous officials secretly ran to bribe him in the middle of the night with a lot of money, but he was taken down on the spot, tortured and sentenced to prison! Moreover, he has been collecting evidence of the general's corruption and corruption, especially the matter of the old bishop's temple, and the minister has already found out that the temple incident was a means for the general to collude with some chamber of commerce and jointly exploit the people. I heard that the general will be summoned to meet in a few days to formally hear the matter!Alas~~ Justice has finally arrived, although it is a little late~~"
He stood up a little sadly, took a deep breath in the sunlight shining through the bright window, and said in a confused voice: "After understanding this matter, what should I do?Alas~~ I really don't know what I should do~~" He sighed and picked up the wine bottle in his hand and poured himself very arrogantly, as if only drunkenness could relieve his confusion and depression. He just muttered to himself in a low voice: "Maybe I should repay this righteous official?" Alas~~ There must be good people in the world~~"
"Hahahaha~~" Looking at his self-righteous appearance of being drunk and relieving a thousand hatreds, Donghezi suddenly laughed inexplicably, almost laughed at the meat foam in his mouth, and hurriedly wiped his mouth and laughed: "Qingguan? hahahaha~~ That's just for the noble king Xià to rectify the disobedient courtiers." You must know that an official is an official, an official is an official, and the essential job of an official is not to maintain justice, but to fight for his own power. Justice is not important, what matters is whether the king or someone else who gives him power needs it. If the king needs to be a general, do you think that he can achieve it with a soldier and no power? ”
Navia replied a little: "You said it too extremely, isn't there a good person in the officialdom?!" Donghezi, who couldn't stop laughing, laughed for a long time before he could barely suppress his laughter, and laughed while stuffing braised pork into his mouth: "Yes, not only that, but there are quite a few." It's just that that kind of person has long been pushed to the margins! Officials who can stand in the mainstay position naturally know very well what their ass should do! Therefore, whether it is greedy, honest, evil, or righteous, it is just a means taken to consolidate one's power! Anyone who does not understand this truth will be kicked to the side a long time ago! Will there be a chance to go berserk here? Hahahaha~~ I see, the king just wants to punish the disobedient general, and by the way, force him to spit out more benefits. As long as the interests are 'evenly divided', the king doesn't care about so many things, after all, the general and the general are behind the whole royal group to exterminate the rebels and deter the nobles everywhere. ”
Navia shook her head again and again, "You don't even know the situation, it's too arbitrary! Don't forget, that minister really sentenced those bribe-takers! But he immediately heard Donghezi say with a smile: "Those are all pawns who crossed the river." In the eyes of ordinary people, a few petty officials are already great figures who can cover half the sky, but what kind of thing are they in the entire bureaucratic system? If one dies, a bunch of them will naturally run over and try their best to strengthen this position! Not to mention one, it is to sacrifice ten or hundred, and for a real high-ranking official, he will not blink an eyelid. Hehehe~~You are really~~ People are using these cannon fodder to test each other!"
Navia said in a huffing voice: "No! Absolutely not! This time it must be true! Do you know? Just yesterday, the minister ordered his servants to purchase a large number of torture instruments, as many as hundreds of them, which is the precursor of a formal torture interrogation! And it is definitely a large-scale interrogation, and it must be an interrogation to the bottom of the matter! Otherwise, why buy so much? If you don't believe it, you can go to the gate of the palace and ask, and the people there have seen that the servants of the minister have pulled several carts of torture instruments in~~"
After saying that, he saw Donghezi 'poof' and laughed completely: "Ahhahahaha~~" He almost hammered the table, and his mouth was full of meat foam with laughter: "He doesn't bring torture instruments himself, but he actually wants to buy torture tools in this city?!ahhaha~~ He also deliberately let people see that he bought torture tools?!hahahaha~~ If I really interrogate some people, how can I let them prepare early?hahahaha~~You~~You~~Alas~~ That's just a signal - hurry up and send money, if you don't send it again, I'm going to do it." Hahahaha~~ You have to understand the meaning behind others. Otherwise, you will be played by these politicians for the rest of your life. ”
Navia's hands were trembling, her mouth was trembling, and she suddenly muttered to herself with some nervousness: "No! Definitely not! You are guessing! If he really wants money, how can he sentence those officials who give money? You are completely mistaken!" Seeing this, Donghezi on the other side didn't want to stimulate him anymore, so he laughed and said lightly: "The minister of the Qin Mission does not want private money, but 'public money'! Maybe people collect money on behalf of the king, so they naturally want to be 'honest and honest', so that the king can know that I am not corrupt!" I want them to pay their wages in private, not to ask them to pay me private money!hehe~~ Of course, this is all my guess. FYI. Then the subject changed to the subject of the ghost magician: "I feel that there has been some progress in my kung fu, and the effect of breaking the aura is enough to suppress the confusion control effect on his body, and in fact it has been achieved. But why was it inexplicably re-controlled? And the power of the comeback is also nowhere to be found, and I can't grasp it at all. Why is that?"
Navia reluctantly suppressed her uneasiness, and said with a little irritation: "Maybe the other party used some legendary spell or legendary item." That kind of power is very different from ordinary spells and supernatural powers. It's normal not to feel any signs of it. You know, not everyone who has reached the level will learn it. There are many people who hover on the edge of the legend for hundreds or even thousands of years and are not allowed to enter, while some people enter in a few months. Alas~~ Who can say this kind of thing clearly?As for the magic flame transformation ability of the evil magician, I only know a little rough, but I don't know the specifics. In fact, even the sorcerers themselves don't know, they only know a few ways to use it. Then, at the request of Tohezi, he hastily said the part he knew.
Donghezi took out a small notebook to shorthand while listening, and suddenly remembered something after memorizing: the big lightning arrow that flew out of the Three Dragons robber village seemed to be a special effect of the lightning attack into a direct attack physique. Could it be that there is something to do with the Demon Flame?!, so he also revealed his own experiences and doubts, and asked Navia one by one.
Navia was a little sullen by the affairs of the minister, and asked and answered in a depressed mood, and after chatting for a long time, she realized that this skill has been available in some energy mages or qi element churches since ancient times, but this skill is not of high rank, but it is too harsh, even if it is good at qi element spells, only a very few can learn it. It is said that it is only used by a very small number of Arcane Researchers or Air Elemental Combat Priests who have a special interest in the art of energy shaping. Therefore, he also knows some, only knows what that kind of lightning seems to be called 'Radama Lightning Ballista', and there is another skill called 'Bikoji Thundering Ball', which is also the will to directly attack the enemy without fear of elemental resistance, and it is a range attack effect like bursting fire and thunder. Except with Will Immunity and Spell Resistance, all other methods have no effect. As for what practice these skills have with the sorcerer's demonic flame transformation technique, Navia is not clear. In fact, very few people can figure it out.
Donghezi said in his heart: There must be some connection between them! Let's find an opportunity to go to the robber cottage and ask. Then he comforted Navia a few words: "I have said all the things about the minister based on experience, maybe this place is different from my hometown." Don't be bored here, think about yourself, go outside, such as go to the square to take a walk, watch a play or something. It's good for the psyche. ”
