Faced with Keynes's questioning, the voice remained calm and unruffled.
"Don't worry, your granddaughter is fine."
He said:
"You answer my questions and I will ensure her safety."
Keynes:???
Ning Feng: "...uh."
As soon as the words came out, not to mention Keynes, even Ning Feng himself, who said these words, couldn't hold back.
These two sentences, under the current circumstances, sound too ambiguous.
Even though he tried his best to restrain himself from thinking about that, Ning Feng still subconsciously thought about it:
Hey, old man!
Your granddaughter is in my hands. If you don’t want her to be ripped off, just answer my questions properly!
Otherwise...hehe, don't blame me for being rude!
Zhennima is a villain!
Ning Feng: "…………"
This kind of development is really too bad, to the point where I can no longer continue to think about it.
By the way, Ning Feng arranged the following lines for Han Ci.
After all, compared to my own, this person's temperament is more suitable, and it is easier to fit into the character.
Cough cough cough cough.
Coughing slightly to cover up, Ning Feng endured the embarrassment and said calmly on the outside:
"Ms. Sophie is fine. I can let you hear her voice."
After saying that, Ning Feng handed the cell phone on which he was talking...no, the bracelet prop to Sophie's mouth.
"...Grandpa, I'm fine, cough, cough, cough."
As soon as she said a few words, Sophie kept coughing because of the blood rushing to her throat.
Judging from the image at this moment, Sophie's appearance was strictly not good. There was a somewhat transparent illusory sword stuck in her chest. The wound was still frozen by the cold air and no blood flowed out.
Ning Feng's hands are filled with ice.
The long sword penetrated the heart and body, allowing Sophie to successfully enter a "near-death state".
However, unlike her miserable appearance, there is still a difference between Sophie's current situation and her real near-death situation.
Her expression didn't look painful at all, and she even blinked leisurely as she looked at Ning Feng in front of her.
Sophie's pain has been transferred by the graft, and she has no other problems except for being a little weak and choking on the blood that surged into her throat just now.
As long as you get timely treatment afterwards, in theory there won't be any problems.
Of course, theory is theory. When all this really happened, although Sophie didn't say it on the surface, she was still very panicked on the inside.
"My lord, he really didn't hesitate at all..."
Recalling the few seconds just now, Sophie felt a chill in her body. She really felt that this legend was going to kill her!
Absolutely true!
When the transparent blade, which was not cold but rather warm, scratched her skin and penetrated through the flesh, the strange feeling made her body tremble involuntarily.
There was only a short moment from when the knife was drawn to the end, but Sophie felt like she had really experienced death.
In the end, it was the cold-looking Archduke Hanthorn who silently supported her body as she fell backwards, and also added the ice magic that sealed the blood flow.
The pure white legend whose name was unknown nodded and then withdrew his gaze indifferently, as if he didn't care at all...
Sophie's feeling was actually not wrong. Ning Feng, who stabbed her, really didn't care.
First of all, he believes that his hands are steady and he is not worried about making mistakes.
Secondly, there is no psychological burden when attacking Sophie. Even if she makes a mistake, it doesn't matter... the worst thing is that she will be cured and come back again!
It's not my granddaughter anyway.
Just poke it!
Keynes calmed down after hearing Sophie's voice and said calmly:
"Everything is really fine."
After a moment of silence, Ning Feng finally added one sentence without destroying his character:
"We are not enemies."
Although Ning Feng's statement was strange, fortunately Keynes was not an ordinary old man. He slowly sat back in his seat.
While waving his hand to dismiss the guards who came after hearing the sound, he said:
"Who are you? What do you want to ask me? Also, before I answer, should you introduce yourself first?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I know that you are related to Watch City, and that's enough."
!!!
Keynes narrowed his eyes, took out a gold coin in his palm, rubbed it gently, nodded and said:
"That's it. It seems that the mission of His Excellency the Grand Duke Hanthorn has been successfully completed. Is he with you now?"
"yes."
"So, when you find me now, do you want to ask me about the spatial beacon of Watch City?"
The conversation with such an old fox is simple. Keynes already understood most of it as soon as Ning Feng mentioned it.
"That's right, we have to find another way to get there."
"That's it..."
Keynes's reaction was calm, but Ning Feng somehow heard something ominous in Keynes' tone.
His reaction was too calm.
Sure enough, Keynes' next words made Ning Feng's uneasiness become a reality.
"Sorry, I can't help you on this matter."
!!!
"……Why?"
He tried not to let his tone become hasty, but Ning Feng's body already exuded an unstable aura.
"Because it's too late."
Frowning his brows, Ning Feng asked:
"What's the meaning?"
Ha ha……
Keynes shook his head and chuckled, then bent his body forward. The old man who always had a straight waist seemed to be a bit stooped at this moment. He lowered his head and looked at the coins on the table.
He said:
"It literally means that if Watch City has entered active blockade, it will be too late."
"Even if I send you the sign, there is no way to enter. You can only watch from the outside."
"In this world, no one can forcefully enter it. They can only wait for the stargazer to take the initiative to unlock the blockade."
"Furthermore, this is part of Stargazer-sama's plan, so... I'm sorry that I can't help you."
After saying this, Keynes let out a long sigh, took off the bracelet from his wrist without hesitation, and took the initiative to cut off the contact.
Then……
He raised his skinny arm and hit the table hard.
winter!
"...I really overestimated your lower limit, and I expected you to really follow the process."
rot.
Everything the nobles were proud of has rotted away.
"In that case... let's proceed with the next plan."
After calming down his anger, he raised his hand and knocked the bell on the table, and said calmly:
"Go and notify all senators that I will convene an emergency meeting immediately for all of them to attend."
"yes."
The messenger waiting at the door bowed to the door and left quickly.
Keynes, on the other hand, sat quietly in his seat, raising his head and staring at the portrait on the wall in front of him.
"Lord Stargazer, I will complete the mission you gave me."
Even if that means destroying everything in the nobility.
If there was really no other way, he wouldn't want to do it.
Is this the only way left? Is there no other way to correct it?
Keynes knew that as long as he didn't give up, there would be a way.
but……
"It's too late, it's too late."
"The arrow has left the string, and no one can turn back."
He raised his hand and lit the lamp on the table, and the dim light shone on Keynes's face, revealing a pair of eyes eroded by madness.
He said:
"Since the train has derailed, don't let it stop."
