For a moment, Rhodes' anger reached the point of losing his mind, and he wished he could punch the greasy man and the justice on the spot.
But his cold reason reminded him that the only consequence of his doing so would be to deepen his doubts or be completely destroyed.
But if he just swallowed this breath, it was really hard for Rhodes to accept it. What he hated most in his life was this kind of guy who would dig himself out in times of crisis, and this justice was the most wretched and meanest person he had ever seen.
Disgusting slugs.
It is really difficult to calm down the anger in my heart without crushing him.
Fortunately, Rhodes soon found an opportunity.
Before he and Gregor were escorted back to the capital as the main suspects, the leaders of both camps had a private conversation with them.
To Rhode's surprise, Miss Qingyu's first words when she saw him were:
"I'm glad we met so soon."
The second sentence is:
"I'm sorry."
Rhodes was surprised and said: "What are you sorry for?"
Qingyu looked at him with clear water-like eyes and said softly: "I'm sorry for involving you in my camp, but I failed to give you enough protection, which caused you to get into a lot of trouble."
Rhode's brows raised slightly, and he asked the question he had been holding in his mind for a long time:
"Why? Why can't everyone in such a harsh and harsh environment unite and work together to get out of the predicament and create better living conditions? Why do we still have to fight against each other, flatter each other, and conspire against each other? What's even stranger is that
, why do you do this and still survive for so long?"
Rhodes' words were merciless, but Qingyu was not angry and said softly:
"We were not like this before. The environment at that time was much harsher than now. It seemed that we could be swallowed up by the darkness at any time. We didn't have many ideas, as long as we could survive."
"Later, under the leadership of the new king, we got better and better, expanded faster and faster, and had more and more resources. Many things that we didn't dare to think about before were easily accomplished later. The king was also very tolerant and gave us more
We have a lot of freedom. Many of the previous strict regulations have been revised one after another, but our combat effectiveness has not declined, but has increased exponentially. Everyone seems to have enlightened themselves. Various schools and inheritances have been revived, and various ideas have been revived.
and ideas emerged one after another. Everyone felt very happy and excited about our achievements. Everyone was full of confidence, thinking that we would soon be able to illuminate the entire Ashland Continent and even the entire world."
"But soon, we suffered a series of serious setbacks. The large number of defeats and the deaths of our compatriots seriously shook everyone's faith. Everyone became confused and confused. No one was willing to accept such a thing. Everyone was eager to think
To find a new path to victory."
"As a result, our differences, hidden under the threat of death or the glow of victory, gradually became apparent and grew larger."
Qingyu's tone became deeper.
"Jon is like this. Since the death of his fiancée, he has become extremely extreme. He believes that in order to defeat monsters, people must be stronger and more cold-blooded than monsters. Survival must be done by any means, and victory is the measure of everything.
Standard. His ideas are recognized by many people and he has gathered a large number of followers."
"Although our goals are all for Trorian, for the Holy Fire, for the future of mankind, and for the continuation of civilization, there are always a few people with other purposes who sow discord, take advantage of the opportunity, and change ideas and paths.
The disputes have become more acute and have no bottom line."
"Especially among our three king candidates."
"Although I tried to bridge the gap many times, with little success. Jon regarded everything as a conspiracy and frequently used the conspiracy against me and another candidate, Starsong. He desperately hoped that everyone would accept his plan.
With this concept, everyone becomes ruthless, cruel and unscrupulous, as if this can instantly overwhelm the monster and restore the previous glory of victory."
Rhodes raised his eyebrows. From Qingyu's words, he could feel the strong emotions, such joy and loss, such expectation and pain.
He feels the same way.
So it becomes even more unacceptable.
"Where is the king? What is he doing?"
Qingyu said softly: "In recent years, Wang has been reclusive. Except for important meetings, he almost never shows up. There are also rumors that he is about to return to the Holy Fire. This is one of the reasons why we are like this. But recently,
For a while, Wang seemed to have noticed this phenomenon and was working to stop it. You don’t have to worry too much."
Rhodes was silent for a long time, reluctantly accepting her explanation. He sighed and asked, "How do you explain those doomsday cults? Why do I feel like there are their people everywhere?"
Hearing this question, Qingyu showed a smile on his face.
"The doomsday cult is only a very small number of people. Most of them are people full of endless greed, hoping to use the crisis of the kingdom to help themselves achieve success."
"There are mainly four types of doomsday cults. There are very few doomsday cults that aim to destroy everyone. Most of them are lunatics and enemies of everyone."
"Those who use pollution fire to gain protection from evil gods such as the Lord of Darkness or the Great Sky God, and are able to coexist with the black mist, are the Polluter Sect. They are the most populous doomsday sect, with approximately 1,500 to 3,000 people."<
/p>
"The Advent sect is the one who summons the Lord of the Old Age to come, destroy all darkness, and save mankind. They are an elite group with a number of about one hundred to two hundred people."
"Those who believe that fire is too strong leads to monster attacks and black mist erosion, and believe that we should actively reduce the scope, reduce the population, give up force, and show sincerity to the indescribable existence in the darkness, so as to gain a place to breathe, are the survivor sects
, they have developed rapidly in recent years, and their number may have exceeded one thousand."
"In addition, there are some individuals or sects who attempt to pray to evil gods to grant power or knowledge, or to realize certain wishes. The number of people ranges from single to ten figures."
"Their total number will not exceed 5,000. Those with real combat effectiveness are probably less than 1,000. However, your arrival alone has cost them more than 300. This is probably because you are the weakest around me.
People, they can only choose to use you as a breakthrough to provoke a fight among the king candidates."
Rhodes wisely did not continue to discuss this issue, otherwise he would accidentally expose his identity as a traitor. Wouldn't that be asking for death?
However, Rhodes does not think that this giant justice is related to the Polluter Sect.
According to the Black Priest, he seems to have become famous among the Polluter Sect and has gained some kind of power from the god of shit-eating. They mistakenly believe that his current powers were obtained by eating shit in the sewers. The Black Priest
I even believed that there was divine power in his feces, and I eagerly wanted to eat it, but Rhodes was stingy and unwilling to give it to her.
These people are really not very smart.
And that chief judge is cheap and cunning, and he is not like a member of the Polluter sect. He doesn't even know himself, so it is unlikely that he came here to kill traitors.
But no matter what, these pests should be killed as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Rhodes asked: "What should I do now?"
Qingyu looked at him quietly, the light in his eyes was restrained, as if there was an indescribable meaning.
She took out a pendant from her body. It had a silver hinge and a blue gemstone inlaid in the golden rectangular pendant.
"This is the mist pendant. It can cover up your aura and your psychic energy fluctuations."
Qingyu put the pendant in Rhodes' hand and said softly.
"You should know how to use it, please don't worry, I will take care of the rest."
Rhode understood in an instant, and his heart was filled with gratitude, and his slight resentment towards her disappeared. He immediately accepted the pendant and said in a deep voice: "I understand, don't worry, leave it to me."
Qingyu smiled and said: "That's great."
Her smile was so beautiful, like clear sunshine, that it made Rhodes feel like he was being healed, and two words suddenly appeared in his heart.
After.
They chatted about random topics, mainly to relieve their sadness and pain.
For example, "Why did you suddenly appear here?"
Qingyu told him that she received information from Linfeng City's relocation team that there were an unusually large number of monsters, and she also saw traces of a powerful psychic cannon streaking across the sky at a suspicious location, so she came to check.
Jon is probably the same.
"Suspicious location?"
"There are no powerful monsters inside the middle section of the Death Mountain Mountain Range. Logically speaking, there would be no such strong psychic attacks."
"Oh."
Rhodes understood instantly. The Giant Justice was standing on a higher ground than him and was much taller than him. The [Psychic Quintet] had an upward angle and hit the air.
No wonder they both arrived one after another, their defense areas must be next to each other.
No wonder Jon is so suspicious, what he worries about must be something he often does.
Rhodes asked casually: "How is my giant cannon? Is it strong?"
A smile appeared on Qingyu's beautiful cheeks.
"Little Rod, I've heard about you. Your 'second shot' is very powerful, but I think you haven't fully used its power. Next time you can show me the complete process of its shot. I'll
Can give you a better way to use it."
Rhodes's face darkened, "Forget it, if I really use it with you, it won't be a "second shot".
He coughed, changed the subject, and asked without leaving any trace what the phrase "one of the king's wives" meant?
Qingyu's delicate brows wrinkled slightly.
This little move of hers makes her look more like a little girl than a high-ranking candidate who can inherit the throne.
Maybe her identity can be understood as a princess, Rhodes thought.
"It's Jon who said it nonsense. All he can think about is victory and conquest. Even if I win, I won't ask him to be the king's husband. It's too greasy."
The key point is "one".
Rhodes looked at her, hoping she could explain herself.
Qingyu blinked her big eyes and asked tentatively: "Do you also want to be my royal husband? But there are already one hundred and thirty people who have reserved this position. If you don't mind, I can add you to them.
."
Although he couldn't see it, Rhodes guessed that his expression must be very exciting.
"Ahem, what if I don't become the king?"
"Then I didn't get it."
"What about these one hundred and thirty people?"
"Those are the husbands of the guardians."
Husbands?
Rhodes didn't know what to say. The customs here are really incomprehensible.
He simply asked directly: "Then I just want to marry you, okay?"
Hearing this question, Qingyu was neither angry nor blushing. He just patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then come on, little Rhodes, I'll wait for you that day."
Rhodes snorted in his heart, sooner or later he will let you call him Big Brother.
The conversation is basically over here.
Before leaving, Rhodes casually asked another question about the name.
"Why do some of you have such weird names? Black bears and stuff like that."
Qingyu said seriously: "You can't call him by his name. Mr. Alighili Dan Black Bear is my father."
"Oh, it turns out to be my father-in-law."
Qingyu smiled and continued: "Trolian has received many refugees in its long history. They have their own customs, some are named after tribes, some are named after weapons, and some are named after wine.
, ores, forging and smelting tools or finished products, some are named after honorary titles, and some are named after some legendary natural phenomenon, geography, weather or animals, such as me, my father, a member of the Alighieri family
, are all like this."
"If you marry me, do you want to change your name?"
"Hmm? Qingyu from Hongshi Village? It seems unlikely."
She smiled softly.
"Unless it's Trorian's Blue Feather."
——
After leaving Qingyu's side, Rhodes's face quickly darkened. He saw that the scene was taken over and many corpses were carried out. They were all companions who laughed and fought together, but now only one cold corpse was left. There were less than a quarter of the survivors at the scene. They were crying and whimpering while helping to clean up the scene.
Rhodes clenched his fists.
This is all caused by that maggot.
You're dead.
After.
Rhodes and Gregor were taken to the Royal City as the main suspects.
All survivors at the scene were taken away as secondary suspects and investigated.
Before leaving.
Bai Lang told him coldly that the elite battle group was cleaning up the overflowing monsters and preparing to return to Jianguan, so he didn't have to worry.
A Luo encouraged him in a low voice that everything would be fine. She believed that the light of justice would eventually shine on them.
Are everyone around Qingyu so cute?
Even the cold-faced white wolf turns out to be a tsundere.
Rhodes' heart was once again filled with warmth, and a high morale rose in his heart. As long as these disgusting scum are cleared away, the world will still be beautiful.
They were escorted by judges and church knights in golden armor. They were so fast that they felt like they were flying when they walked on land.
It took two days to come here and only a few hours to get back.
When he saw the extremely tall walls of the royal city, Rhodes' mood was indescribable.
And walking through the long corridor, seeing the radiance of the holy fire lighting up the entire royal city, and the lights in front of countless residents' houses shrouded in it, an even more indescribable feeling came to my heart.
Maybe this is home.
It's a pity that the house has not been cleaned and there are some reptiles breeding there.
Although it's not much, it's really disgusting.
Of course, there are also some special reasons why he frequently encounters these guys.
Humph, no matter what the reason, you all have to die.
Rhode's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Due to the complexity and twists of the situation, he was directly imprisoned in the underground cell of the Royal City Tribunal.
The judge took away all the items on his body and put black stone shackles and a collar on him, which can suppress psychic energy and suppress it below the third level.
Haha.
How childish.
Rhodes sneered.
My spiritual power is only at the second level. I didn’t expect that your pressure was in vain.
As for the items, they had naturally been put back into the dreamland a long time ago, and he had dismantled the spirit guns and sent them in - he was already very familiar with this business.
Therefore, they only accepted Loneliness.
Not long after, the giant Justice Gregor was escorted in with a gloomy look on his face. He didn't know when he returned to his original appearance, but judging from his face, it seemed that it was far from what he wanted. p>
He was locked up deeper in the dungeon, and he had several times more black stone shackles than Rhodes.
After that, it’s a long wait.
From the few words passed in, Rhodes knew that the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office, the Tribunal and the Holy Church jointly conducted an investigation and conducted a detailed examination of the secondary suspects.
Most people have been cleared of suspicion and proven to be unlikely to be doomsday believers.
But things were not clear. Everyone witnessed Rhodes' immortality, and no one could give an explanation.
In the confession provided by Jon, Gregor had a great record in the Dawn Fortress, and the fact that he lured the mother insect away from Sword Pass was confirmed.
The most important thing is that in the confession provided by Gregor, he believed that Rhodes would use some kind of psychedelic magic to distort and blind everyone's perception, and that he was a true evil cultist.
This confession has gained a lot of trust because it can explain Rhodes' immortality——
This is something they have never seen before, and even in the entire history of Trolian, there has never been any record of such a magical characteristic ability. Of course there is resurrection from the dead, but it is far from reaching the level of Rhodes.
So, five days later, their trial began.
The main hall of the trial court is a very large semicircular hall. In the center is the seat of the person on trial, and on the opposite side are the seats arranged in a staircase.
Due to the dispute involving the king's candidate Qingyu and Jon, there were many high-ranking figures in the royal city at the table. The Grand Inquisitor was sitting aside, and the king's envoy occupied the central seat.
On the day of the trial, Gregor had the opportunity to dress up carefully. When he walked into the hall, his robes were clean and tidy, his hair was smooth and shiny, his face was free of dirt, he was high-spirited and full of strength.
Rhode's clothes were wrinkled and covered with dust, he had a chicken coop on his head, his face looked like it hadn't been washed for five days, and his expression was gloomy, as if he was full of negative energy.
Many people in the jury box frowned. From the appearance alone, Rhodes has lost.
In the ensuing statement and defense environment, Rhodes was far behind. Gregor was born as a justice, his words were logically logical, his words were mellow and sophisticated, he was well aware of the laws of the royal city, and he was familiar with the way of trial.
Rhodes didn't talk much, and his words were sharp and extreme, which made people feel disgusted.
I'm sure to win!
Gregor finally showed a long-lost smile.
He is eloquent and full of wit, bringing his speaking ability to its peak. He is extremely vitriolic, hypocritical and cunning. This ability has reached an unprecedented peak. Many prominent and high-status people in the royal city are interested in it. Listening to his speech with rapt attention, he has never had such a large audience before or since.
When talking about how Rhodes deceived everyone insidiously and cunningly, and how he begged for mercy like a clown when the truth was exposed, Gregor's eloquence reached its peak. When he laughed and cursed, he made fun of Rhodes almost endlessly. When the lies and absurdity were revealed, bursts of laughter erupted in the courtroom.
No one noticed that Rhodes had arrived behind him.
The pendant given to him by Qingyu has been hung around his neck. It exudes a slight fragrance and the residual warmth that seems to come from its owner.
Rhodes wrapped his hands in his sleeves and silently went to the dreamland, took out the parts of the spirit gun, quietly assembled it, and loaded the spirit-sealing bullets.
He pointed the gun in his sleeve at Gregor's back.
Humans are different from monsters. When humans are defenseless, their souls are exposed and have no spiritual protection.
The same goes for the justices.
Bang!
Huge gunshots resounded throughout the trial court.
Gregor was frothing at the mouth. When he was talking about the climax, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his soul. His spirit felt as if it had been hit by a giant hammer or torn apart by a long saw.
His vision went dark, and he knelt down on the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he just saw Rhodes' raised right hand.
The hand is translucent, and a sickle pattern on the back of the hand is emitting a dazzling red light.
"You..."
Gregor couldn't believe it and only said this one word.
Peng!
The right hand penetrated his body and held his soul.
In the dim environment, Rhodes' eyes were full of cold light.
"Justice, execution!"
