Volume 9, Xenos Classroom, Chapter 85: The Moment of Life and Death of the Marquis
Heine is facing a moment of survival and death at this moment.
The life of aristocrats is not as bright as ordinary people think. Heine has many brothers and sisters, and is by no means the only son. The marquis has an extraordinary position among Western titles, but is the second rank among nobles, second only to the duke. The Ophelius family is even more extraordinary. Although their ancestors were Easterners, they have accumulated huge wealth in Europe over the years and have a great status in the EU. They are closely related to the politicians and even members of the royal family in some countries. How terrible the struggle between brothers and sisters in a family will be between them, which is completely imaginable.
It is precisely because of growing up in such extreme environment that Heine has such deep scheming and wisdom that is hard to reach for ordinary people. Heine quickly won over and established connections since he was a teenager and spared no effort to attack those brothers. Many of these people were half-brothers of him. In this position, you cannot be tolerated. If you fail to fight for the throne in the end, Heine knows better than anyone else. As a result, he only took three years to gather at least three brothers to become his aides, but he hid his ambitions and did not show any of them to compete for the title. In the end, after he dyed many brothers' blood from his hands, he was able to inherit the title.
The life of aristocrats is full of cruelty, blood, **, and **. Huge interests always cause disputes, and people will think about themselves selfishly. Heine began to get tired of fighting, so he stayed in his winery for most of the year, or traveled around to find antiques and music that suited his wishes.
And his confidant always persuaded him to marry this morning. Otherwise, if his successor's identity is not determined, those brothers will still be eyeing him. However, the Marquis is astonishingly clean on the issue of women, which is also a marquis' insistence on being a human being. His mother was depressed all her life because after marrying into a noble, she endured her father to flirt with her, and she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, otherwise she would be regarded as ignorant. The romantic affair of men can be regarded as a manifestation of ability. If a woman is not loyal to marriage, she will only be regarded as lewd and despicable. The Marquis has always believed that men who disrespect women are not qualified to talk about love at all. The marriage of a noble is almost a bare-nude equivalent exchange, which is even worse than commodity trading. For the Marquis, if she holds to women as the object of sexual venting, it is better not to provoke the other party. He always believes that respect for women is respect for himself.
It is hard for anyone to believe that the ruthless and cold-blooded Marquis Heine is actually a feminist.
In his life, he had done everything he could make for the overall situation and could dye his hands blood. Countless people were afraid of him, even if he was his true confidant, it was difficult to truly understand him. No one had ever had an equal conversation with him, so it was difficult for anyone to imagine what kind of women would be favored by the Marquis.
But at this moment, the Marquis resolutely made a choice.
For the first time in his life, he gave a promise to a woman. This is actually not a rational choice at all, and it does not match Heine's previous style at all. Because this is risky. If he is willing to promise Long Aotian, release him, and surrender Saro and take him away, then even if it is impossible to completely erase the grudges of the two, Long Aotian is likely to temporarily save his life, at least in this horror movie, there is hope of survival. Doing that cannot be said to be without risks, but it is definitely much smaller than the current tiger's mouth snatching food.
However, this touched his bottom line! The Marquis asked himself that he was not a good person. In order to seize the title, he had long been stained with blood and tried his best to do things, but he always had his own bottom line in his work. It was not that he would use any means to achieve his goal. This was his persistence in dealing with people and things. If a person is alive, if he acts only for profit and acts entirely by calculation, he will determine gains and losses. Then wouldn’t it be too ruthless? For the Marquis, it is okay to sacrifice some people to take into account the overall situation, but it does not include giving away the woman he loves!
All this is not difficult for the Marquis to measure. People always have to do some seemingly irrational behavior in their lives, but this is why people are humans!
The sixth level of nightmares world can be said to be silent at this time.
After walking in the town for a long time, it was already dark.
This is already close to the depths of the seventh floor of nightmare, and it is also the place agreed upon by Long Aotian and Heine.
Along the way, Saluo had explained to the Marquis in detail the possible situations she had considered, and repeatedly told the Marquis to be extremely careful. Of course, she did not take the initiative to ask the Marquis to hand her over for Long Aotian's help like a bloody TV series. This is the extraordinary thing about Saluo's character. She would rather be a jade than a treacherous one, and would never tolerate such humiliating methods in exchange for the opportunity to survive. In life, one should try his best to strive for the opportunity to survive. By lowering his attitude, he can only become a slave, just like Mu Lan! If she chose to surrender, how could she break with Long Aotian back then! For Saluo, there is only one form of leaving the Marquis, that is, becoming a corpse!
"You don't have to be stressed, Heine." The message of Saro's script was sent to the Marquis' script: "I would rather live a free life according to my own ideas than live a life of utmost care!"
For the Marquis, Ashiro's words could have been done without hesitation.
finally……
They arrived.
In front of you is a well. There are no buildings around you, but deserted fields everywhere. The dark sky and abandoned dry well are definitely an excellent place to shoot horror movies. And that well is the place to the seventh floor of nightmare.
Long Aotian can have the aura of absolute protagonists, and his methods are naturally extraordinary, and he is definitely not a brainless person. The Marquis is very clear that he knows himself and believes at most 30% of his trading words. As for whether he will calculate that he dares to seize food from a tiger's mouth, he is very afraid to say it. Therefore, the Marquis brought Saro to reduce his suspicion, even if it increases the success rate by 10%, it is still good.
The Marquis came to the wellhead. At this moment, a moonlight shone down, illuminating the wellhead. The well was at least a hundred meters deep when it looked down.
Obviously, Long Aotian will come up from here.
Since he wanted to bring Sara back, I think he would not appear on the basis of a rotten corpse, but his true body should appear.
What is the Marquis’ biggest reliance at present?
The answer is the hell bug!
And it is the hellworm that evolved once!
If there was no such thing, the Marquis would definitely not dare to do this thing to seize food from the tiger's mouth. He knew better than anyone else how big the gap between him and Long Aotian was. From Saluo, he already knew that Long Aotian's strength was definitely the strongest among the protagonists of all dynasties, and the movie emperor was no longer enough to describe him as terrible. However, the other party is now in a pingyang and trapped in a nightmare, which is definitely not the same as before, but even so, it is definitely not something that the Marquis can deal with. However, if there is a hell bug and he is still sure that he can succeed with the Marquis' identity as a top psychic medium.
The Hell Worm is the strongest trump card of the Marquis, even before the evolution of the Hell Worm! Not to mention the terrifying Hell Worm mother, even the Hell Worm itself has extremely terrifying potential. The ancestors of the Northfield family once left a message that if the Hell Worm is cultivated to the final stage, it will be possible to truly compete with the high-level demons! And now this first-ever evolution of the Hell Worm can not break the time curse, but it also has miraculous effects in this world of nightmare cursed! Although Long Aotian can still sense the real world in the Nightmare World, he may not know that the Hell Worm has evolved! Even though he knows that he is not a member of the Fallen Star Clan after all, his understanding of the Hell Worm is bound to be limited.
This is the biggest opportunity for the Marquis!
Finally, the Marquis saw that in the deepest part of the well, a black figure slowly floated up from the bottom of the well!
Here comes!
However, the Marquis did not show any expression on the surface, and his acting skills were definitely far above Zhuge Kongming, who had played the piano with an empty city plan.
