Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 140: The Viscount's Choice
On the stage, the actress brought the whole play to a climax with her high notes. Amidst the thunder and heavy rain, the gods were punishing the ignorant mortals with divine punishment.
In room 216, the turbulent air currents reflected Viscount Iscolan's complex inner struggle at this moment.
He didn't want to believe what Inspector Meteor said, but he couldn't explain some abnormal things happening in the Brotherhood recently, as well as the sudden visit of Er Guya, the special envoy of the Duke of Celtic, and the order.
Capturing Qingkong, the Book of Disaster, the Temple of Abyss...it seems that they can be connected into a logical loop.
So what choice should I make at this moment?
Ignore the evil deeds of the Abyss Mage in order to maintain the support of the Brotherhood?
Or strike against the Abyss Mages... Without the support of the Brotherhood, how would the Emperor of the Empire and the City of Rage treat the Iscolan Family?
The scene of the imperial spies raiding Virgil's house is still vivid in my mind. Is this scene going to happen here soon?
"Inspector Meteorite, I think our interests are mostly the same."
Regarding Iscolan's probing of his bottom line, Luke said: "This is what you think... What does the interest here have to do with me? The interest you are pursuing now is like a bridle that has tied you up, making you weak and submissive... pulling you onto a path you don't like to take.
Since we don’t know what will happen in the future, why not follow our heart? Leave everything to history and let future generations judge! ”
The chaotic atmosphere around Viscount Iscolan calmed down instantly. He looked at Luke and asked after a while: "Are you really an imperial spy?"
"If I'm not an Imperial spy, then who am I?"
Viscount Iscolan smiled and said, “Her Royal Highness the Princess has your assistance, so I should consider my position.
However, the most important thing now is to get rid of these Abyss Mages first. I just met the Duke of Celtic's envoy, and he asked me to find a way to meet with the elf Qingkong..."
Viscount Iscolan, who had made the decision, told Luke what he had talked about with Erguya.
Luke did not have too many doubts about Viscount Isklan's side with him. During the normal course of the game, he broke with the Brotherhood because he was dissatisfied with the tragedy caused by the Abyss Mage in the City of Fury.
But his actions did not make him accepted by the new nobles.
After the city of Raging Waves became autonomous, the first thing the new nobles did was to confiscate all of the Iscolan family's property in the city of Raging Waves and expel Viscount Iscolan from the country.
well……
Madame Michel failed in the political struggle and died, and Viscount Iscolan ended up being left with nothing.
Ibul's ending was better, but he was also squeezed out of parliament, his assets shrank significantly, and he finally became an ordinary businessman.
Can you lead teammates like this?
I have to bring it even if I have to bite the bullet.
"You are responsible for finding the hiding place of the Abyss Mage... I remind you that not all the people in the Blade Brotherhood's Wrathful City branch can be trusted. You'd better know who can be used and who cannot be used."
Viscount Iscolan nodded in agreement, quickly filtering the people he could use in his mind, and then replied to Luke: "Don't worry, I know who is truly loyal to me.
Find their hiding place, what should we do? "
Luke said, “I’ll go find Madam Michelle and ask the elf Clear Sky to act out a play with us.
I think if the elf Qingkong agrees to meet you, her strength will definitely allow the Abyss Mage to concentrate all their forces in Fury City to deal with it. As long as we know where they are gathering, Oulu College, the Secret Intelligence Bureau, the Public Security Bureau and you... we will join forces to surround and eliminate them.
I will discuss the specifics of how to do it once I get in touch with someone."
"Okay..." Viscount Iscolan knew that it was impossible for two people to work out a detailed plan for such a big thing. They should find the hiding place of the Abyss Mage first. Then Iscolan remembered something and said to Luke, "The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Watt Gabriel, sent a group of people to Raging Waves City. The leader is Vogt Yomington, who is the staff of Prime Minister Gabriel.
He's here on Virgil's case."
When Luke heard the name Vogt Yeomington, the first thing he worried about was the sandpaper.
The plot was changed too much by myself.
The city of raging demons is still in chaos!
After being driven out of the private room by Luke, Sandpaper wandered around the Xixi Palace. According to the instructions of the inspector when he came, he looked around to see if there were any suspicious people.
She was wearing mechanic's overalls, carrying a tool bag, and looked like a harmless girl, which did not arouse the vigilance of people she met.
Everyone treated her as a mechanical apprentice, repairing equipment.
"The inspector only asked me to find suspicious people, but what exactly is a suspicious person?
Is it suspicious for a man and a woman to go into a room hugging each other?
Do you want to go and have a look…"
And just as Sandpaper was walking around aimlessly, a voice suddenly sounded in her head.
You can't escape!
here we go again.
Sandpaper saw the man standing in front of her, and fear made her instinctively avoid his gaze, wanting to do something to divert her attention.
She knew that the man was an illusion created by her mind, but the illusion was too real, and she couldn't help but recall the terrible memories.
Not just my own memories.
She didn't know how many memories of young girls were mixed in her mind, and each one was filled with fear.
The inspector said: The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!
Sandpaper knows, and that's right.
But I can't do it.
She didn't dare look the man in the eye.
Sandpaper pulled a drink bottle out of his tool kit and took a deep sip of the special motor oil.
"Alice... come on, it's your turn... complete this secret technique, and you will have the most beautiful voice in the world..."
Sandpaper couldn't help but reply, "No, I'm not Alice! My name is Sandpaper, and I'm Sandpaper from Diagon Street!"
"Whether you're called Sandpaper, Cronin, or Tessie, you're still my Alice. You're the best among your sisters...
But you abandoned them!
You escaped..."
"I will find them... I will find them wherever they are..."
Sandpaper yelled, his voice echoing in the empty hallway.
The man disappeared.
But in the aftermath of fear, she felt an inexplicable throbbing rising in her heart.
The ends of her long hair swayed towards the window beside her.
Sandpaper looked out the window and saw a small square facing the main entrance of the Sissai Palace. Three luxurious carriages drove up and stopped in the small square, and then a group of people got out of the carriages .
One of the familiar figures appeared in Sandpaper's sight.
The sudden excitement made Sandpaper jump out of the window. He landed steadily from three floors high, and rushed forward without any pause.
The group of people who had just arrived and got off the bus noticed sandpaper running towards them.
A voice of "Protect the adults" rang out.
A petite figure rushed out from the crowd.
She was about the same age as sandpaper, with a cold murderous look on her slightly immature face. She held a rapier in her hand and stabbed at the sandpaper.
