Act 58: The King of the Underground (9) (Adjustment)
Act 58: The Underground King (9) (Adjustment)
The underground world is shrouded in boundless darkness, and the long tunnels are silent. There is only the sound of groundwater seeping into the rock formations above after the earthquake, and then dripping to the ground.
This kind of sound only sounded once in a long time in the deep and invisible depths in the distance.
After repelling a large number of uninvited guests from the underground, Medissa also had to stop and rest. Although she is a ghost, it does not mean that she is tireless - the activity of the soul fire restrains the undead creatures to a certain extent.
Ability to move.
But she didn't need light. A faint fluorescent light lurked in her pupils in the darkness, allowing her to see very far in the absence of light.
The silver elf princess did not sit down, but rested against the rock wall with her gun in one hand. Her body was surrounded by fragments of the rock leopard, and these mutilated corpses were scattered far away.
Unlike Brando, she was attacked almost from the moment she entered this layer. She fought her way to get here. After a moment of silence, the silver elf princess asked to the other side in the darkness:
"Is there an elevator here?"
Medissa was not alone in the darkness, the only sound of breathing came from the other side of the mine tunnel.
"kindness."
The voice replied.
But Medisa was not reassured. As soon as she finished speaking, she put her hand on the spear in her hand and looked warily in the direction she came from. But as soon as she turned back, a look of joy appeared on her face and she blurted out:
"grown ups."
It was Brando and Qian who came.
They raised the lighting crystals in their hands to shine the light here. They were not too surprised when they saw Medissa. They had originally followed the mark left by the little silver elf princess.
When he discovered that the so-called 'powerful guy' might be Medisa, Brando was not too surprised. There were only a few of them in this underground place. Either the little silver elf princess, Kuran, or Yuta didn't have this.
strength.
But when they saw another person within the illuminated range, they were stunned.
"Medisha." Brando asked: "This is it?"
When he saw Kuran sitting on the ground without saying a word, he suddenly couldn't think straight. This old man who had been majestic before was now in a miserable state. His forehead, face, and blue-gray military uniform were covered with blood, gray and white.
Her hair is also messy.
"Mr. Kuran is injured." Medisa replied. The elf princess wisely said that, and there were more words buried in her heart that she had not said. But she knew that Brando must understand what she meant.
But the old man snorted: "If you become a prisoner, you will become a prisoner. There is nothing to hide. But this little girl sees that my old bones are still of some use, so she has temporarily signed a non-aggression agreement with me." He
Looking at Brando with squinting eyes, "But she respects you very much. Boy, the final decision is in your hands, my lord. Tell me, do you want to kill or behead?"
He said this verbally, but in his heart he couldn't help scolding the little elf girl for being cunning. When the mine tunnel collapsed, the first reaction of everyone present was to protect themselves first, as if out of a desire to save their lives.
Instincts are the same, even for gold-level beings like them.
But what Kuran didn't expect was that not everyone present was a 'creature'.
When the landslide occurred, the first thing Medisa did was not to retreat to a safe place, but to attack him while the rocks were rolling down. This was a completely desperate move. Even a calm man like Kuran could not bear it at the time.
I couldn't help but be shocked.
However, the outcome of a gold-level fight can only be decided in a split second. Although Kuran's absolute power far exceeds that of Medissa, he had already exhausted his energy by pursuing Brando with all his strength before, and to no avail. Secondly, when the landslide came,
The earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking. He was not mentally prepared at all, and was seriously injured by Medisa's blow.
If this little girl hadn't dragged him out of the rubble in the end, he would have died of suffocation in the mining accident.
However, he was aggrieved, but he had to admire Medisa's courage. In that situation, he would not have dared to make the same choice. Being defeated by the enemy on the battlefield, no matter what the reason was, as
Kuran, an old soldier, had nothing to say.
But if he knew that Medisa was just a ghost, he would probably scream in his heart that he regretted underestimating the enemy.
After listening to his words, the young man nodded slightly and asked: "Promise?"
"The old gentleman promised to take me to find you and leave here to return to the surface. He is very familiar with the terrain here. There are mine tunnels there, where they are connected to the upper level, and where they can be opened without causing a larger collapse. He
We all know," Medissa said carefully, her tone never rushed - although she was using Cruz language, she seemed to be able to sing an elven aria naturally, "Lord, we are not far ahead.
There is an elevator right there, leading to the main mine tunnel on the third level. There are many transport routes leading to the surface in all directions, and they should not all be blocked."
She smiled slightly: "If it weren't for the old gentleman, I wouldn't have been able to find here so quickly."
Brando knew that she was probably talking about the elevator that Ke Wen and the others came down from. He remembered that the mine tunnel that came down was very large, with three wooden rails.
He nodded and glanced at Kuran: "What are his conditions?"
"Let the old gentleman speak for himself."
Kuran glanced at Brando again: "Boy, I know your plan. As a prisoner, I had nothing to say. Now you can naturally take over this place as you wish. It can take as short as one month or as long as three months. Para
Si won’t notice any clues.”
He paused for a moment: "As for my condition, it's very simple. I don't want to end up like Grudin."
Did he know? Brando was slightly shocked.
The incident of the Fir City *** must not be hidden, but not everyone knows Grudin’s life or death afterwards. As we all know, *** in the Eruin territory is not a big deal, but except for a few unlucky individuals
Apart from eggs, I have never heard of any actual powerful lord being killed in a massacre.
Therefore, after the Fir City massacre, most people should have guessed that Grudin had escaped through a secret passage. Only a few high-level executives in the Brando Group truly knew that Grudin was dying.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Kuran deeply. If the outside world had learned about Grudin's death, then the nature of the matter would be completely different. Sir Pallas might not be able to wait and would send troops immediately, and
Count Jean Denel probably won't leave Tonigel any more time to 'solve this trouble on his own'.
If the old fox senses that this territory is in danger of escaping, it is estimated that a large army will invade the territory within two weeks.
Brando hopes to rely on the asymmetry of information to buy time. If Count Denel does not confirm whether Grudin is dead, then he will tend to let his ineffective son solve the troubles in his territory by himself.
.
Because at that time, in the eyes of the opponent, they were just a group of mobs. In the eyes of the nobles, the mobs were nothing to fear. Grudin also had many retainers, didn't he?
But as soon as Grudin died, this little rebel became like a rebellion - although he knew in his heart that he was indeed engaged in rebellion, even if this rebellion was not intended to kill Eruin, but in his mind
In the eyes of the nobles, his behavior is tantamount to the most serious challenge to the rules of the game.
In his plan, when Earl Denel realized this, it should be at least after the defeat of Sir Mintai and Sir Pallas.
He still has at least one to two months before that.
But Kuran seemed to see through his thoughts. The old man smiled mysteriously and said: "You don't have to worry, there are just some rumors outside. But when I see you appearing here, I understand 80% of the time - in Fir City
, not a mob at all!”
After saying that, he shook his head slightly: "But I don't know if you are crazy or I am crazy. Since the Year of Qin, Eruin has not had a rebellion for nearly a hundred years."
Brando nodded.
The year of Qin was the reign of King Hesse I, who was nicknamed the "King of the Great Road". This king can be said to be the most notorious in the history of Eruin, and he was also one of the last rulers of the Sifah Dynasty.
One - this joking name comes from the fact that he even organized a private army to rob all merchants who passed through Eruin - whether domestic or foreign.
He openly declared that all property on the roads within the territory of Eruin belonged to him, and merchants walking on them must pay him two-thirds of the goods. This behavior, which was similar to the king of the mountain, angered everyone except him.
Everyone. As a result, Hesse I was ousted from the throne after only reigning for three years. He was even the only king in the history of Eruin who died at the hands of angry people.
Of course, the performance of His Majesty the King can be seen from the people's livelihood conditions in Eruin at that time. It was the darkest era in Eruin's history except this era. Even if it were not for the rise of Madara, now
It can be said that the level of chaos in Eruin is far less than what it was at that time.
Because that was also the era when uprisings, rebellions, and rebellions were most frequent in Eruin's history. You must know that in Warnd's world, it is difficult to see the word uprising in historical documents.
But maybe this is the so-called national power and destiny. Madara will eventually be founded through Eruin. Therefore, under the same environment, the Corcova dynasty at that time could be revived. However, under better conditions, Grid
Her Royal Highness Princess Fein's reforms failed.
But Brando had no time to sigh, and first shook his head: "This condition is too vague. We can naturally coexist peacefully here, but once we leave the underground and reach the surface, how can we ensure that you will not escape and report?"
It is not unreasonable for him to think so. If he were a caveman, he could make Tajib swear an oath to their gods, but humans are probably the most unbelieving people in the world, even though they often refer to Lord Martha verbally.
On their lips, but even if they swore to Martha - they probably didn't mean it.
Brando himself is a human being, and of course he understands this more clearly.
But Kulan spread his hands and said: "I am seriously injured now, and I can't run away even if I want to."
(***. Adjust and adjust, the speed will speed up.)
