Chapter 96 Count Falgila

"A long, long story......"

I don't know why, Feng Kan remembered the stories his mother told when he was a child, and the beginning of those stories was all "a long, long time ago......

"Pippi" (Pippi's cry. Where is the fastest update of the novel?Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the small round face of a copycat version of Pikachu.

"Well~~ It looks like it's dawn......" Feng Kan smacked his lips and stretched, as if he had just slept as usual.

"Are you really awake?" said Merrijelin, exclaiming in surprise.

"Ahh Feng Kan hugged Pippi and sat up, "I think I will get used to this kind of day when I hang from time to time in the future." ”

"It seems that the handsome guy guessed correctly, it really works," the waitress girl sighed to herself, ignoring his nonsense.

"What did you guess correctly?" Feng Kan scratched his head and walked to the table to find it, he always felt dry when he woke up.

Merigerine didn't speak, just Nunu motioned for him to look at his right hand.

An inconspicuous little iron ring was put on the middle finger of his right hand at some point.

"What is this?...... "Wearing a ring on the little finger of the left hand means engagement, and wearing a ring on the ring finger of the left hand means that you are married, but what does it mean to wear a ring on the middle finger of your right hand? Feng Kan didn't understand, and he didn't bother to figure it out.

"This is what almost killed you. Merigerine stood up.

"Huh, that's it?"

"It's this thing, I don't know what it is, but I've heard that if you use it to slash over the other person with malicious intent, you can directly peel a person's soul out of the shell."

Feng Kan suddenly realized, he finally knew what had happened, he was not afraid of heaven and earth with his strong body and unimaginable recovery ability, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing......

The brine points to the tofu, one thing drops one thing. It seems that there is really nothing in the world that is absolute

"The handsome silver guy said that since he can strip the soul when he uses it with hostility, then think about it the other way, if he uses it with a feeling of longing, will he summon the departed soul back? But it seems that he guessed correctly."

"Alas~~ missing?Who misses me???

Meritherine gave him a blank look, "Do you miss a lot of people as a madman?" I just see if you're dead or not, it's that little thing that really misses you," she said, and the waitress pointed to Pipsqueak in his arms.

The little thing had climbed up to his shoulder, and his little red cheeks rubbed hard against his face.

...............................................................................................................

It's still just past noon, and there are no guests in the tavern at this time, and when Feng Kan walked into the front tavern hall, he only saw Dante playing cards with an old man, and he didn't know where he got this kind of thing, maybe this guy had a few decks of poker with him.

Vincent sat silently in the corner against the wall, wiping the "Cerberus" without saying a word, the smooth metal parts emitting a cold glow that made him look even more unapproachable, and those who didn't know him would definitely retreat when they saw him like this.

Sephiroth sat far away from him at the window, one hand elegantly propped up his chin and read a book in his hand, the afternoon sun slanting on him, forming a hazy mist of light around him, soft with a solemn divine brilliance.

I have to say that the aura of this guy Sephiroth is too powerful, and his casual movements naturally have a high-minded temperament, and I believe that except for Feng Kan, no sculptor in Trantac can perfectly reproduce his temperament.

Feng Kan just glanced at it, then walked to the table where Dante was playing cards, and pulled out a chair and sat down.

“...... Stud?" Looking at the scattered piles of coins on the table, Feng Kan looked up amusedly, Dante sat on his left hand, and opposite him was a black bearded face that had not been seen for a long time, with an ordinary thin figure and a large turban wrapped around his head, looking like a hawker on the streets of an Arab city - Blackbeard, or the mercenary king Shermanto.

Feng Kan turned his head again, and on his right hand was an old man he had never seen before, with a thin and neat face, a gray head, and a small one-sided glasses hanging in front of his left eye, looking like an eighteenth-century scholar from Western countries.

“...... Isn't it my turn to speak?" Dante raised his eyes to look at the two old men opposite, curling his fingers and tapping lightly on the tabletop.

The two old men looked at each other for a moment, Blackbeard shrugged, while the old man he had never seen reached out and politely made a "please" gesture.

Dante grabbed a pile of coins in front of him and threw them in the middle of the table, "I raise"

Feng Kan looked at the three cards that had been turned over on the table, Dante is two old kings and two queens, even if you don't add the hole card that has not been opened, it is also a "To_pairs" (two pairs) card type, and Blackbeard in front of a 3 of spades, a 4 of spades, a 6 of spades, a 7 of spades, unless his hole card is a 5 of any suit, otherwise it is just a high card without a card type, of course, if it is a 5 of spades, it is the best, that is the largest deck of cards"ith_ the_floer" (straight flush), if not a bigger straight flush, then he is simply a winner, the old man who has never met is three 8s and a queen, this card is very subtle, if his hole card is a queen, then it is a "Full_house" (three of the same card plus a pair, also known as a full house), if it is an 8 then a "bomb" (Bomb), if it was the other cards it was a simple three-of-a-kind, and all three of them looked like they were all very likely to win, but they were all very dangerous, and Dante raised again, looking so confident that it was hard to figure out what his hole cards were.

“...... I followed" Blackbeard was the first to speak, and he grabbed a handful of coins and threw them into the pile of coins in the middle of the table. Then he turned his head and looked with Dante at the old man whom he had never met.

The old man smiled calmly with his finger on the tip of his nose, and tapped his other finger lightly on the last hole card, "...... I followed up and raised, and all the rest of the money was staked."

As he spoke, he shoved all the coins in front of him into the pile.

Dante and Blackbeard glanced at each other, and the old man's appearance was so unsure whether he was confident or bluffing.

"Follow up, or give up?" asked the old man who had never met him with a smile.

Blackbeard stroked his beard, turned over the last hole card and threw it on the table, "I give up"

It was a 5 of hearts, and it was supposed to be a straight of cards, which was a very big hand in Stud, and if Dante and the old man he had never met were "To_pairs" (two pairs) or "Three_of_a_kind" (three of a kind) then he could win and give up.

The old man, whom he had never met, still looked at Blackbeard with a smile, and then said to Dante, "Young man, what about you?"

Dante raised an eyebrow and without saying a word, pushed all the money in front of him into the middle of the table.

"Deal"

Then, Dante turned over the last hole card on the table, which was a square king, and his card was a big "Full_house" "It seemed that Lady Luck had finally stopped stinging with me and smiled at her. ”

"'Full_house'?" the old man he had never met smiled at his cards and shook his head, "I'm sorry, it seems that Lady Luck is more inclined to take care of ......the elderly," he said, and the old man gently turned over his hole cards, which was an 8 of hearts, and the last 8 in the deck - "Bomb" was just over Dante's "Full_house......

"Ah~~~" Dante threw the cards in his hand into the sky in annoyance, "Is today my bad luck day?"

"Don't be discouraged, my lad. The old man smiled and comforted him, "I don't know if today is your bad luck day, but it seems to be my lucky day." ”

"It shouldn't just be a matter of luck, right?" Feng Kanle, who had been watching from the sidelines, bent down to pick up an old K that Dante threw on the ground, "The first time I saw you cheating, you didn't win anyone" said, he lightly jumped with his nails, and the old K became two cards, and the back of the old K was pasted with an 8 of hearts, "Anyway, how can there be five eights in a deck of cards?"

Dante, Blackbeard, and the old man looked at each other at the same time, and then laughed together, these three guys - none of them were honest in playing cards

...............................................................................................................

There were also two spare decks of playing cards next to the table, and the old man who had never met him didn't know when he had found an 8 of hearts in it, and his watch didn't look like a novice at all, but like an old gambler who often played a thousand things.

"Playing cards is like fighting a war, no matter what method you use, as long as you don't let people see through it, you can win" The old man, who had never met before, smiled and nodded to Feng Kan.

"Well~~~" Feng Kan rubbed his forehead helplessly, he knew that "soldiers are not tired of cheating", and he also knew "ten gambles and nine cheats", but he himself would not be idle to find this excitement.

"Is you the one looking for me?" the old man turned around and said to Feng Kan with a smile.

"That's right, it's me" Feng Kan nodded, he had already guessed the identity of this old man when they met, but it seemed that he had guessed correctly, this old man who looked more like a learned old man than the general who commanded the army to sweep across the battlefield was his first target this time to infiltrate Volken - the ghost talent of Jamins, Count Falgila

“...... You're from St. Austin?" Count Falgila stared at Feng Kan for a long time, then said with a smile.

The deep eyes full of wisdom seemed to be able to pierce a lie, and being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Feng Kan felt that any excuse had no meaning.

With a sigh, Feng Kan wiped his hands on his face a few times to reveal his true colors, "You guessed it right, I am indeed from St. Austin." As he spoke, he glanced apologetically at Blackbeard, who was sitting across from him.

"Don't look at me, though I already knew, I didn't say anything," Blackbeard laughed happily.

"Well~~ I knew you knew the day Pippi was drunk," Feng Kan smiled with relief, he just felt that Blackbeard, who had been hiding from him, was a little uneasy in conscience. The presence of Count Falgila here definitely has a lot to do with Blackbeard. "And I don't think you're going to talk about it. ”

"It's just that I didn't know you were like this...... Hmm~~ Weird" Trantac Big 6 does not have an oriental face like Feng Kan, except for the Holy Maiden "Yulia" of the Ossetine Cult

“...... Can't you say that we look more distinctive?"

"Then what is the purpose of the guest from St. Austan looking for me?"

"In fact, we hope that Lord Earl will help us stop this meaningless war," Feng Kan said straight to the point, feeling that there was no need to beat around the bush.

Count Falgila sighed helplessly, "Stop this pointless war? To be honest, I am also against the 'Seventh War of Heresy Sweeping' started by the Church this time."

Then he looked up, "But don't get me wrong, the reason I'm against it is only because now is not the best time, and if there is even a slight flaw in the alliance between St. Austin and Santa, I will definitely attack without hesitation."

"Haah~~" Feng Kan sighed weakly, the meaning that Count Falgila wanted to express was obvious, now is just the time has not come, as long as there is the right time, the old earl still resolutely aimed the weapon in his hand at himself, so it seems that Count Faljira's defection to Yunyun is indeed another hidden reason, this matter is really troublesome.

"Lord Earl, I don't know why you hate St. Austin and the Santa Alliance so much?"

"Hatred? No, I don't have any personal reasons to hate St. Austin or the Santa Alliance, it's just purely national reasons, as a soldier of the Empire, I have an obligation to expand the territory of the Empire and win greater benefits."

"Is the national interest higher than one qiē?But even if the Jamins Empire dominates the big 6, if all the world's qiē will face destruction, then what's the point?"

Count Falgila narrowed his eyes and stared at Feng Kan for a long time without speaking.

"I don't know if the Earl knows the Great Prophet of Barrotan in St. Augustan. ”

"The Great Prophet of Balrotan, I know," Count Falgilla nodded, "Although the Church of the Most High God has always claimed that it is a demon who uses evil words to deceive the world and spread calamity, I know that it is all a lie, and the Great Prophet of Balrotan is a respectable elder with a wealth of life experience and learning. ”

Feng Kan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Count Falgila agreed with the Great Prophet of Barrotan, then other things would be easy to do, "Actually, our King Xià once sent a messenger to Jamins to deliver a message, I don't know if Lord Count knows"

"Messenger from St. Augustan?" Count Falgilla looked at Blackbeard quizzically, "We've never heard of this."

Feng Kan's heart sank, the envoy to Jamins has not returned to St. Austin until now, and to enter the Jamins Empire, he must first pass through Da Volken, it is impossible for a person of Count Falgilla's level not to get the news for such a big thing, but it is not like Count Falgilla's appearance is not like lying, and there is no need for him to lie about this kind of thing So it seems that the messenger must have not arrived at Volken yet, or he has not seen the high-level of Volken, and he has already been very lucky, and the Jamins Empire has not received news from them, can someone stop itWho is it and why?

But now is not the time to discuss this issue, Feng Kan must make Count Falgila realize the strictness of the form, "St. Austin did send an envoy to the Empire of Jamins, but something must have gone wrong in the middle, but please believe in our sincerity, this matter is related to the safety of the entire Trantac."

"Oh, why are you so strict?" said Count Falgillah, whose expression became solemn when he saw him so serious.

"According to the latest language of the Great Prophet of Balrotan, the forces of Chaos that destroyed the Trantac civilization once again will come back in the near future."

Count Falgilla was silent, but still expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The Prophecy of the Great Prophet Balrotan ......"

"Does the Earl believe the prophecy of the Great Prophet Balrotan?"

Count Falgilla suddenly smiled, "To be honest, if it weren't for the prophecy of the Great Prophet Balrotan who revealed my layout in advance, I would have attacked Botlar, the royal capital of St. Austin, in the last great battle."

Feng Kan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Count Falgila wanted to say, "Then ......"

"But there's nothing I can do now......" Count Fargila sighed, "Now Volcan is full of their people, even the Grand Duke has their eyeliner around him, I can't implicate the Grand Duke"

"Who are they?" Feng Kan was a little anxious, if he could stop this war in time, it would have an immeasurable effect on uniting the Jamins Empire to fight against the chaotic army in the future, at least many soldiers did not have to die in this war of aggression, but could devote themselves to the front line against the chaotic army

"Cult of the High God," Count Fastro said lightly. "Do you know why I defected?"

Feng Kan shook his head, it was because he didn't know that he was here.

"My crime is to shelter heresy, spread heretical thoughts, and disobey the teachings......"

Feng Kan was speechless, what kind of inexplicable crime is this? But in a social environment like Jammings, these inexplicable charges can indeed make people irreversible.

"The reason is that I am against the 'heretic' war at this time. ”

"Just because of this?"

"That's because of this"

"Then Archduke Francis won't say anything?"

"The Grand Duke cannot speak, so his position will also be dangerous, and the decree condemning my guilt came from the 'Privy Council'"

The Privy Council is the supreme body of the Supreme Divine Cult, directly under the High Priest, and the teachings issued by the Privy Council are jointly deliberated by the High Priest and the eight Privy Council Priests, and even the empress has some scruples, let alone the Grand Duke of a principality

"There is a conspiracy," Feng Kan said hatefully, gritting his teeth. It's just against the war to make such a big move, it's definitely not that simple, and if you want to say that there is no conspiracy here, then there are ghosts

"Yes, there is indeed a conspiracy," Count Falgilla nodded, "but not many people would believe that this is a conspiracy, and the Cult of the Supreme God's appeal and prestige in Jamys are not much worse than the Imperial Family." ”

"And what about the attitude of Archduke Francis?"

"Now only my two sons are left with me, and the rest of the family members have been imprisoned by Grand Duke Francis"

"It's really unkind."

"No, it's not the opposite," Count Falgila shook his head, "the Grand Duke is protecting me"

"Huh?"

"If they had fallen into the hands of those of the Most High God, they would have probably been burned at the stake"

Although he could not explicitly rebel against the decision of the Cult of the Supreme God, Archduke Francis still protected his old classmates in his own way.

"So, as long as one day I don't get caught by them, my family is absolutely safe"

"The main thing for Lord Earl now is to immediately stop the war that is about to be released, and if this war breaks out in full force, it will be a disaster for any country."

Now it seems that it is. Count Falgila nodded, "Looks like I'm going to have something to do too......"

"Hey, don't you think the atmosphere is weird right now?"

Dante suddenly said something inexplicable, Feng Kan was stunned, turned his head to look at the others, Sephiroth had already closed the book and sneered out the window, Vincent had already assembled the "Cerberus" and came to the door to stand still......

Suddenly, Feng Kan really felt that the atmosphere was very strange, and after calming down and feeling it for a while, he suddenly realized that he was just talking to Count Falgilla, and he didn't notice that the street outside the tavern didn't know when it became quiet, and the afternoon time should have been the busiest time for people, but now it was very quiet, and the silence seemed so weird......

"The people on the street are gone," Sephiroth said with a sneer.

Indeed, there is not even a single figure to be seen on the street now

"Tsk" Feng Kan rubbed his teeth in annoyance, the current situation is very obvious, someone has cleared this street and only the Wild Rose Tavern has not been notified of the entire street, then the other party's goal is self-evident.

"Oo......oo

Merigerine rushed down the stairs, "The army appeared in the streets and at the end of the street, a large number of troops looked at the flags, and those were the knights of the conviction"

"The Knight of Judgment?...... Sure enough," Count Falgillah straightened up, "and they were coming at me."

The Knight of Judgment is the direct force of the Supreme God Cult, and it is not at the same level as the Black Iron Knight Order that Feng Kan cleaned up before, those are carefully selected knights, in addition to their strong combat power, they also have unwavering faith, and they will faithfully carry out the orders of the Supreme God Cult without dying.

"I didn't expect them to use the Knight of Judgment in order to deal with me a bad old man, what a great honor. ”

In the self-deprecation of Count Falgilla, the girls in the tavern had gathered in the hall, but these girls did not panic, just waited for Merijielin to remove a cupboard in an orderly manner, and took out a set of equipment from the hidden secret room behind the cupboard, the girls' equipment was all simple leather light armor, the head protection was only a forehead guard, a one-piece high-necked shoulder pads, a pair of cuirasses, leather armor skirts, wrist pads, knee pads and double leather boots, and the weapons were two sharp short swords inserted in the back waist and a small short bow made of unknown materials, and the waist of the light armor hung a small quiver on the left and right。

The barkeeper, who was even more burly than the governor of California, was not idle, he directly pulled out a long large iron box from under the bar, and inside the iron box was also a simple set of armor, but a double-headed giant sword more than two meters long took up more than half of the space.

"Old friend, it seems that I have caused you trouble. Count Falgila turned to Blackbeard.

"It's okay," Blackbeard looked disapproving, "Anyway, I was like opening a tavern in a different place a long time ago." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, when I don't save zài?"

Blackbeard and Faljira's appearance made Feng Kan very dissatisfied, "If you want to fight, why don't you count me as one?"

Blackbeard smiled, "You're willing to fight for Fargila?"

"Why don't you want to?" Feng Kan said with a grin, "Although the Earl still hasn't given up attacking St. Austin, aren't we on the same front for the time being?"

"So what are your plans?"

"Plans, there's a fart plan," Feng Kan smiled bitterly, "They have cleared the streets, which means that they are determined to win, since their target is Count Faljira, then to protect his safety must be put in a key position, isn't there a secret passage to the outside of the city? You asked your people to cover the Earl's retreat from there first, and the matter here will be left to us."

"Just the four of you?"

"It's not just me, Dante and Vincent, the three of us," Feng Kan said, holding out three fingers, and then he turned his head to look at the thoughtful Sephiroth.
