Chapter 214 The plan to destroy Fairhaven was formulated by——
Ralph kept moving, not daring to stop for more than half a second.
He could feel a dangerous force trying to lock him down, which would most likely cause serious damage if it succeeded.
Honestly speaking, the current situation makes Ralph regret a little. He regrets becoming the leader of a knight order. He was tricked out of the training ground by his family members, who told him that as the leader of a knight order he would often face danger and fight with others.
That's true, and in fact, Ralph often fights against many powerful people because of his work for the Knights.
But the reasons behind those encounters...
All the battles were caused by helping those nobles deal with their messes. Ralph didn't hate fighting, but he hated being used as a convenient cleaning tool.
Ralph felt like a piece of reusable toilet paper, wiping the nobles' butts over and over again.
Now, facing Shang Mocheng, Viscount Toledo treats people of lower status than her as pariahs. Not only does she have no experience in investigating cases, but she also only conducts cruel interrogations.
Even Ralph himself looked down on this guy, but there was nothing he could do. This guy was one of the nobles who maintained law and order. No matter from which perspective, she could not die here, die at Mo Cheng's hands.
and……
Ralph's free right hand kept grasping, opening and closing, trying to dispel the numbness in his arm. As a person with the ancient bloodline of [Thunder Lion Ape], he actually felt numb.
It's really a black humor that the bloodline that controls the power of lightning was paralyzed by electricity.
But no matter how black humor it was, Ralph didn't dare to stop, nor did he dare to throw Viscount Toredo out. At this moment, he clearly felt what Mo Cheng's eyes expressed.
Those were hollow and empty. They were eyes that judged everything on the same level. In those eyes, killing a person was equivalent to opening the cap of a bottle of drink.
He can open a bottle of drink without a care, and can kill one person or more without a care.
Ralph had only seen this kind of look from the most dangerous people in Fairhaven Prison.
"Ralph, if you want to pursue power, you must give up some things that are too cumbersome. For example, your meaningless persistence, and the burden in your hand."
“Only by discarding the burden can you truly understand how to pursue power.”
Mo Cheng's words made Ralph look a little embarrassed. He had planned to say these words to Mo Cheng, but now it seemed that the other party had said them first to teach him.
"Although it seems useless to say this now, I still want to ask." Ralph kept moving, trying to avoid the position that was following him closely. "Can you stop here? I guarantee that this guy will not leave the Knights' headquarters."
"Sure, as long as you tell me where this guy's family is and where his home address is."
Hearing this answer, Ralph sighed. He had forgotten that although Mo Cheng was wearing a priest's robe, the person hidden under that robe was never a gentle and kind Holy Light priest.
But a killer who is addicted to killing and fighting.
"Nothing to discuss?"
There was nothing to talk about, because at this moment Mo Cheng had already located Ralph, with his palms spread out and raised high above his head, as if to receive something from the sky, and then he clenched his fist and smashed it down.
The blinding lightning fell, and was about to hit Ralph and Viscount Toredo in the next moment.
“Boom!!!”
The earth began to shake wildly with loud bangs. The ground under my feet was no longer thick and stable, but instead felt like a deck shaking in a storm.
At the moment the thunder fell, the shaking of the ground caused Ralph to lose his balance and was thrown out. At the same time, the surrounding roofs could not withstand the shaking and cracked. Countless tiles fell and buried Ralph alive, but also made Mo Cheng's thunder lose its aim.
Not only Ralph , but even Mo Cheng was disturbed by the shaking.
There were shrill screams and cries in the city, and Mo Cheng realized in an instant that this was not a shaking, but an earthquake.
The earthquake lasted for more than a minute. The Central Royal City Fortress and the Mage Tower seemed to want to free up their hands to quell the strange vibration, but the holy light ball in the sky suddenly shone brightly, like a sun, suppressing the Central Royal City Fortress and the Mage Tower so that they could not make any move.
Without caring about Ralph's life or death, Mo Cheng turned around and rushed towards Albert's House, "I'm going back to Albert's House!"
After leaving a message to Mishas and Margaret, his figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this time, Margaret, Misha and others realized that although the fight between Mo Cheng and Ralph seemed long, it only took a temple time to finish. The subsequent earthquake made the whole city panic. Even in a world with magic, earthquakes are still an extremely powerful natural disaster.
Seeing that Fairhaven was in panic and even cracks appeared on many buildings, countless citizens ran out of the houses full of cracks to find a safe area that was spacious enough.
On the other side, Ralph, who was buried alive by tiles, struggled to crawl out. He ignored the Knights who pulled him out from the tiles. After looking around, he found a place to dig down.
After clearing away all the tiles, what they saw was a corpse.
The body of Viscount Toledo, a sharp fragment pierced her temple.
When the earthquake came suddenly, Ralph was caught off guard and threw Viscount Toledo out, and the result was...
"Ah..." Ralph sighed. No one knew what he was thinking. He just squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "I'll quit when I get back!"
He really didn't want to do this kind of thankless job where he just cleaned up other people's messes.
"Damn it, now I have to take the blame for that bastard."
…
On the other side, Mo Cheng rushed back to Albert's House and found that everyone was fine. They were all in the playground. Except for the cracks in the house, there were no casualties.
"It was Sister Lonnie who told us not to go to class today and that we should all stay in the playground."
"Where's Loni?"
Just as Mo Cheng was asking about Luo Ni's whereabouts, a weak voice came from the gate, "I'm here..."
Looking back, he saw Loni walking in through the door with wounds all over her body. Without saying a word, Mo Cheng cast holy light on Loni's body twice to heal the bleeding wounds.
When she saw Mo Cheng, Loni seemed to relax the breath she had been holding, and her legs softened and she sat down.
"Heh... Heh... You've been missing for five days. David and Burton became suspicious because they hadn't seen Hardy for a long time. They have discovered that something happened to Hardy and think I'm a traitor."
As soon as he returned to Fairhaven, Mo Cheng received some news that was definitely not good.
“David and Burton attacked me and I killed them, but Izekiel decided to move [the plan] forward.”
"What's the plan?"
Due to excessive blood loss, Loni's face was very pale, but she still answered word by word: "The plan to destroy Fairhaven and the Central Royal City."
