Chapter 1610: The Eighth Man
Rumble......
The echo of the silent roar is the sound of lightning flashing. There was no rain, only thunder, on this lonely peak, a lonely and old castle.
The castle was tall, spired, towering, gloomy, as if it had been stained by the damn weather, but as if it had been meant to be.
One by one, more than half of the more than twenty people remained on the first floor of the castle, and only seven people dressed in red with different patterns embroidered on their chests could go upstairs.
BOOM~!!BOOM~!!
Two more thunderbolts, and seven men in red went up to the top floor of the castle. There was only one room, not too big, not too small, and there was a stove in the room, and the fire in the stove had been rising and had been burning for some time.
"Why did you choose to meet here for a meeting? Can't you find a place closer?"
The men in red were masked, even if it was just the seven of them.
"It's not easy to find a place to meet, and the pirates seem to have noticed us. ”
On the floor was a circular red carpet with eight chairs, in a large circle, and in the nick was a blackboard with a drawing of formulas and some memorable numbers.
Seven people sat on seven chairs, seven different patterns, and one was empty. What is empty belongs to the one who gathered them together.
The man with the blue whale embroidered on his chest said, "Why don't you take off the mask on your face, can't you trust each other?"
The man with the herring on his chest said: "There are too many entanglements and hatreds between our seven kingdoms, and we are all worried that our appearance will be seen and betrayed. ”
The people of the White Eagle shook their heads: "It's all like this, and there is no trust yet." ”
The man of the yellow crab said, "We all took off our masks together, we all got to know each other, and we also had a restrain on each other." Don't speak. If you don't speak, you agree. Then I'll count to three, and everyone will take off their masks together. He scanned the crowd with his eyes and spat out, "Three, two, one......"
No one moved, not even himself.
The man embroidered with the black wolf smiled: "Hmph, interesting, funny." ”
It's been a long time. The embroiderer said: "Actually, we don't need to know each other, we just need to have one goal." Anyway, after waiting for so long, why hasn't the eighth person come?"
It was raining outside. The rain came suddenly, it fell very hard, and it hit the windows, and the horns clicked. A man in red got up, opened the red curtains, and looked out at the rain and fog, and the room was silent for a while. However, only through this window. Pig clung to the edge of the wall, he had been eavesdropping on the conversation inside, and now he had nothing to hear.
"Why haven't you come yet? "The man in red wanted to smoke, but he didn't want to take off his mask, and he felt uncomfortable when he became addicted to smoking, and then the eighth man came.
As soon as the eighth man came, the spirits of the other seven people were all fighting, not because of anything else. But who this eighth man is, they don't know. Seven of them were seven of them, though they did not know their true faces. But they can also guess that it is the royal family that survived in the Seven Kingdoms, but this eighth person, they have no clue at all.
The eighth man was dressed in red, like a monk in a monastery, and his clothes were redder and brighter than those present. His whole body was caged in a wide and long robe. I couldn't see the body, and I couldn't see his face. It's the same as when everyone first met this person, all you can see is that he's a little tall, and nothing else.
"Why are you so late? My time is precious. "Someone is dissatisfied, because there is always someone else waiting for him. When did he wait for someone else.
The eighth man is not angry, because you can't tell if he is angry or not, he gives people the feeling that there is no change in his feelings, you can only think that he is not angry, but he speaks, and says in a very strange voice: "Time is precious, but it is only for the living, and it has no value for the dead." ”
It was not the first time that the seven of them had heard the eighth person speak, and every time they heard this voice, they had a feeling that they couldn't stand it, and they wanted to hit someone, and they wanted to break all the bones on their bodies.
Everyone frowned, and the man with the yellow crab in his chest said, "Okay, don't talk about it, hurry up and say everything that needs to be said, I have to go back and take a bath." The rain is really unbearable. ”
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, he......" The eighth person laughed in a very strange way, and his voice was also strange: "Revenge? Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh......"
The yellow crab man was unhappy and said, "What do you want to say?" Hurry up, okay?"
The eighth said: "Speak, you need to be safe, I hope you didn't say anything before I came, otherwise everyone outside the window would listen." ”
The seven people were shocked, and Pige outside the window was also shocked, and then immediately jumped off the building and fled.
"Chase!"
"Go down, don't let him run!"
Seven people shouted and shouted to run downstairs, and someone downstairs had already chased them, but the eighth person didn't move. When the seven saw that the eighth person did not move, they all stopped and asked, "Why don't you chase after you?"
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh......" said the eighth man: "Stupid, stupid man." I always forget the purpose of today because of what is in front of me. I'm not here to chase him. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, remembering that they had come to meet for a meeting today to agree on the next move.
The eighth person smiled and said: "A small person can make you forget the big things in your heart, worthy of the so-called royal family, and your IQ has become and pulled out." ”
"You...... Who the are you talking to?"
Several of the seven were violent and would have gotten angry on the spot, but the eighth didn't care at all, as if he didn't know at all.
The anger was still suppressed by the others, and the White Eagle said, "Don't waste time, it's time for us to talk now......"
Pig ran as fast as he could, and the pursuers were still there. He was injured, jumped from such a high place, and was besieged by these people, it was difficult not to get hurt, these dozen people were not weak hands, one-on-one, two-on-one, three-on-one could not fight, but so many people joined forces, and those demonic beasts, even if Pigs were good at shooting speed, there were times when they couldn't parry.
"Magic!"
"Shoot the arrows, chase quickly!"
Pig heard a noise behind him and received a fireball on his shoulder. If he really tried his best to fight, he wouldn't be so wolf, but he didn't come to fight hard. At this time, a river appeared in front of him, and Pig's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped into the water, and by the time he came out, he was already far downstream......
In the castle room, the coals in the stove were crackling, and the fire was very hot, much hotter than before.
The embroidered blue whale said: "So the next step is to act in a stealthy way, continue to destroy, make a big noise, and then wait, wait for the world army, wait for the people of the Holy Garden to make a move, and then we will cooperate with the action?"
The eighth person nodded: "Yes, no matter what, our initiative to attack head-on is to hit a stone with an egg, there is no chance of victory, only by cooperating with the foreign army, can we be sure of winning." ”
Someone was unconvinced: "I don't believe it, we are so fragile that we don't have a chance at all? Or are you talking too much about those pirates!"
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, he......" The eighth man smiled: "If you don't believe it, just take your troops to battle, I will not object." ”
In this way, there is nothing more for seven people to say. But some people were worried: "Will the World Army and the people of the Sacred Garden who you said definitely come?"
The eighth human: "It will come, definitely." Because...... Certain. ”
Although the eighth person has always refused to reveal his identity, he was the one who called them together to resist in the first place, and now he said it so surely, as if he knew a lot of inside information, so he did not have any objections, and they themselves felt that it would be better to have foreign troops intervene.
"There are still two questions I want to figure out. The embroiderer asked, "Why do we divide our seven countries into eight Red Guards?"
The man who embroidered the black wolf looked at the eighth man coldly, and replied, "Do you need to say this, because there are eight of us here." Eight people, of course, there must be eight Red Guards. ”
The eighth person shook his head: "No, no, no, no matter whether you take revenge or return to the country at that time, I will not divide your share." ”
Embroidered Zilu's surprise: "Oh, then why are you helping us?"
The eighth man said slowly: "This ...... You don't need to know, you just need to know that I'm helping you. This eighth army is for my own use. ”
"Hmph~!"
"There is one more question," said the embroiderer, "I don't understand why we should go to great lengths to find a boring princess?
The man who embroidered the white eagle said, "That's right, that's what I thought." ”
Before Xiu Qingyu could speak, the others laughed: "Why are your words so untrustworthy? People of the royal family, family affection is a joke, this little princess must have some secrets hidden in her, otherwise you wouldn't have bothered so much." ”
...... (To be continued......)
