Two hundred and twentieth chapter original intention
Chapter 222 The original meaning
A man's face popped in from outside the door.
"Sister Rotia, I have something to ask..." the man said, but after he saw the specific situation in the room, he was stunned, showing a look of embarrassment and apologies. "Sorry, sister, I didn't mean it. I don't know that you will come to entertain guests today... Sorry..."
The inconvenient face disappeared from the door immediately, and then the door was quickly brought with it with a slam. Only two people in the room were left with a slightly awkward feeling.
Rotia sat back on the stool, and Berel sat upright again. For many years, Berel thought he was not tempted by this, but it turned out that this was just that he was not tempted enough. Because at this moment, he clearly felt his heart beating wildly.
And this is even just a joke from this woman.
Having said that, not only Berel felt embarrassed, but also Rotia. In fact, from an objective perspective, this was nothing to her. However, being knocked out by her subordinates so head-on would still make her feel a kind of natural embarrassment that a woman was born with.
"Cough! Cough!" Berel coughed twice, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere. "Ms. Rotia, may I ask you...I want to ask, how did I come here?"
"It's very simple. Last night, you staggered and ran alone in the middle of the street and hit me head-on." Rotia also recovered. "Looking at you being unconscious, and I happened to recognize you, so I took you to my store. It's that simple." She looked around. "Although this room is also a guest room, I actually kept it myself as my temporary lounge."
While speaking, she had poured a glass of wine and handed it to Belle. Although Belle didn't feel anything special, when he saw this drink, he realized that he was indeed thirsty and his throat was dry. This should be the sequelae of the strange drug. He drank the glass of wine in one go. But when he put down the glass, he realized that the thirst was not just in his throat.
"Last night... someone assassinated me." Berel calmed down and said. Although Rotia just said something like "passing by by chance" or something, as long as she had a little brain, she would not believe such a statement.
"I know, this has spread this morning."
"Oh?" Beller was a little surprised. "May I ask, there are my guards and subordinates there..."
"They are all fine. They are the only one you who want to kill. Well, because you ran away in time, they are in a hurry to come out to chase you." Rotia said. "It seems that you knocked down one with a sword... According to the corpse, the church confirmed that it was a believer of evil gods. The city of Eagle is very lively now. Last night, Prime Minister Ailin scolded several officials in charge of the security of Eagle Eagle City to the death. Now the whole city is urgently searching for those bold Chaos believers, and of course, there are also those who are missing."
"Ah..." Berel didn't expect things to develop so quickly. But this is normal.
"If you die," Rotia was very knowledgeable. "The coalition's affairs may have broken down, and even the two countries will turn against each other directly. No wonder the cultists do this desperately."
"Evil God Believers..." Beller nodded. This time he did miscalculate. From this point of view, things are likely... no, they should be just as Ash Rufate said. This time the invasion of the barbarians was not an invasion of the degree that had happened countless times in the past, but a final battle. In the place where the church power is extremely powerful, it is undoubtedly very difficult for the evil god believers to ambush down. Every evil god believer is very precious. But in order to assassinate him, those evil god believers undoubtedly invested a lot of money because they were going to risk being uprooted.
This war is probably really hard to fight.
"By the way, Miss Rotia, you said just now... you have to pay the rent?" Berel suddenly thought of this. He actually wanted to leave here with this excuse. Anyway, he was sure that no matter what debt the little queen of Eagle City would pay for him.
"Well, this is my boudoir, and the price is not cheap." Rotia smiled. Although Berel is a very bold person, at this moment, he felt like a lamb targeted by a hungry wolf. No woman could give him this feeling. In fact, even if a woman had given him this feeling, he would definitely avoid it.
"Hey, Ms. Rotia." Berel tried his best to restore things to a scene he could control. "Since you know me, you must know that I am not a poor person. My credit should be trusted, isn't it? Besides, although I didn't bring any money to come to Eagle City this time, I'm sure someone can pay the bill for me."
"No...I want cash." Rotia replied uninterestedly. "Men's promises are lies, and I have seen too much in this regard."
"But... I swear, I'm willing to take you to withdraw money."
Rotia smiled and poured another glass of wine for Berel. "Do you want to have something to eat?" she asked.
Berel was very sure that Rottiya was not for money, so he felt he could show off directly. He coughed hard and then plucked up the courage - if someone told Berel yesterday that he had to pluck up the courage to speak, then Berel would definitely think the other party was crazy - said: "Ms. Rorel, now the Falcon City is probably making a fuss for me... You said just now, our Prime Minister Alinn is in a state of anxiety. He is so old, this emotion is very deadly... Why do you want to leave me here?"
"I just want to make that old man feel anxious for a while." Rotia smiled contemptuously. "I wish he had a cerebral hemorrhage. As for the people in the church, it is thanks to their incompetence that the evil god believers lurked in Eagle Falcon City for so long. I hope they can spend more time and effort to pull out the nails in Eagle Falcon City."
...
"Master," a subordinate stood respectfully in front of Marvin. "Plan No. 4 failed."
"Oh." If Marvin was angry because of his subordinates' failure, at least he could not see it at all. He just nodded and even had the time to ask a question. "What's the final result?"
"The losses are heavy... The priests of the gods in the Star Realm searched the whole city like mad dogs and captured many people... Of course, most of them were wrong, but some of us were arrested. The arrested people accounted for about half of the total number of spies... and the target was safe and sound..."
"Why did the plan fail? Was it broken halfway?"
"No, it's because the underground forces in Eagle City actually colluded with the official... appeared at a critical moment. We had to choose to retreat."
"Those idiots, they should rush up and fight to the death." Marvin made this decision with a casual attitude. "If this plan succeeded, we would have put enough pressure on them... It seems that we can only look at Plan No. 6."
"Master." A Chaos Wizard next to him made a comment. "It might be more appropriate to make a request first and then apply pressure."
"Well, maybe." Marvin thought for a moment. "But... there must be means to shake the other party's will..."
"Master, don't we have two people in our hands?" the subordinate reminded. "Fonoros City is gone, and they are completely useless now. It's just right to take this opportunity to make use of their remaining energy."
"Well...this method is good. But there are two..."
"One goal can be set as the little queen," the subordinate continued to suggest. "The other goal can be set as the Earl of Ashurufat."
"Why is it him?"
"Master, I think that a person who is cruel and ruthless and who uses any means to do anything for his purpose is the candidate suitable for the Lord of Deceit. As long as any of the two successful people reaches an agreement, our goal will be successful this time."
Ma Wen gently touched his beard and made a burst of laughter of unknown significance. The Chaos wizard who made the opinion also laughed with joy for his ability to please his master, but he did not expect that Ma Wen would be more alert when he looked at him.
Chaos also have the law of chaos. Those who truly climb to a high position must understand that they should not only look forward, but also look back and watch themselves behind them at any time.
...
The assassination of Belle at her residence has spread throughout the city of Eagle Falcon. At least, in the temporary palace, there are panic everywhere.
This fact is important, because if Berel unfortunately dies, then no matter what, the Hawk City will bear all the responsibility. Everyone knows Berel's fame and status. If he dies, the Tiberius will probably turn against Groney directly. In other words, no matter what, someone must come out to take responsibility for this matter.
I'm afraid this person in charge must be Prime Minister Ailin.
It is precisely because of this that since the news came from last night, Alinen has been staying in the palace and urged his subordinates to strictly order. According to an unwritten rule, the little queen quickly granted the matter full authority to the Prime Minister to deal with it. Now Alinen is in a state of turmoil and has no control over anything else. Under his command, with the cooperation of the priests of the church, the soldiers closed the noble area and conducted a large-scale search from house to house. Both nobles and civilians could not escape. The body left at the scene was also found out - it was a servant of a nobleman in the noble area of the Eagle City. He was usually uncharacteristic and unknown, but he was a Tsengchi believer.
This rigorous, urgent and clue-related search was awesome. At least by noon, the church confirmed that at least five evil gods among the arrested people. Ailin also unceremoniously allowed the church to "use all measures" to dig out other people's intelligence from these people, especially to find out where Beller was kidnapped.
