"After all, what are you planning?" Lin licked her lips, raised her head and stared at Wei Feng, "If it's interesting enough, maybe we can cooperate?"
"No comment." Wei Feng responded in a deep voice, "Let me take you to your residence here." He looked at Anya aside and paused for a moment, "You are not monsters - including that little girl. So.
, I won’t take action against you.”
Yuffie was secretly amused. The man in front of her obviously had a considerable degree of hatred towards the demon clan, but even Anya, who was the 'demon king', was still treated as a human being by him. It seemed that her judgment was correct.
A man still sticks to his principles and has not lost his mind because of hatred.
She pursed her lips slightly, "Can I ask you a few questions, Wei Feng?"
The man stopped walking out of the door and turned back to look at her.
"'Take courage and endure hardships, serve the country with loyalty'..." She recited the words she had seen before softly, "Is this the creed of "The Pale Hand"?"
Wei Feng swallowed silently and chuckled softly.
"Thank you for noticing those words." He seemed to be whispering to himself, "That was indeed the philosophy when the organization was established. As for now..." The man grinned at himself, "Who knows."
"Okay." Yuffie shrugged, "Then what is your creed, Wei Feng?"
"Kill all the evil spirits." The man replied without hesitation, "It's a pity that I alone don't have enough power to accomplish this." He shook his head and clenched his right fist, "But at least, I will try my best.
, to ensure that the people of the empire will no longer be killed by those monsters."
"But the monster clan...the monsters are not all bad people." Anya bit her lip, but couldn't help but walked forward, "The same goes for Mr. Wei Feng, and the same goes for "Broken Club". Could it be that...in addition to killing each other?
Is there no other way besides this?"
"For me, this is the only choice." Wei Feng said gloomily, "If you have experienced the same thing as me, you shouldn't be surprised." He sneered twice, "Actually, the same thing as me is.
There are hundreds of people in the empire who have suffered the same fate."
"At least you have to choose the right target for revenge." Lin walked to Anya and shook her head at Wei Feng, "Otherwise, what's the difference between what you did and those who did wrong to you?
"
"You two are really nosy." The man glanced at Anya and Lin coldly, "I have never killed innocent people indiscriminately, but I will not let go of those I think deserve to be killed. If you want to persuade me to change my mind,
It’s better to give up your mind before it’s too late.”
Yuffie looked at the three of them from a distance and made an evaluation in his mind. The answer just given by the leader of the "Dobe" was enough to prove that he is not a villain, and in a sense, he is kind of cute. Of course, this
She won't express her thoughts easily.
"There are enough problems." Wei Feng glared at Anya, who seemed to still have something to say, and asked her to swallow the rest of her words, "Now, if you still want to leave by force -" He glanced at her sharply.
The whole hall said, "Then I can only say I'm sorry."
Does this mean that he plans to use force with them? Yuffie shook her head slightly and walked up to the man, "Please lead the way. Also, don't forget that you promised us dinner, Lin is looking forward to it."
Wei Feng nodded, turned his back, and strode back along the original corridor. The oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped the hall suddenly became much more relaxed.
Anya exhaled and leaned softly on Lin's shoulder, "Just now I thought... we were really going to start a fight."
"Even if there's a fight, there's nothing to be afraid of." Lin touched the girl's head, then led her hand and walked quickly to her side, "What are you going to do, Yuffie?"
"There will always be a way, right." She replied easily, "Besides, wouldn't it be nice to stay here for a little longer? At least the food and accommodation are free."
…
Wei Feng indeed did not embarrass them.
Several of them were arranged in the same room. The room, which originally had eight beds, was naturally spacious enough for four people. Three meals and drinking water were delivered regularly every day, and they were all simple but delicious dishes.
And soup, paired with hot rice, or freshly baked scones. For Yuffie and Lin who have never tasted the flavor of Inis, it is also quite interesting to guess what they can eat next meal.
There are two guards stationed outside the door day and night. They have obviously been ordered to do their best to meet any additional requests from Yuffie and others. In fact, the original purpose of these guards is not to prevent them from escaping - to truly do this
The most important thing is the closed fortress itself.
In their free time, they were allowed to walk within a fixed area and chat with the members stationed here. During the chat with each other, Yuffie learned about the origin of this fortress and the objects belonging to the "Pale Hand"
Partial history.
The fortress was not built by Wei Feng, but by the leaders of the first generation of "Tubu", which has a history of nearly three hundred years. It is said that each generation of Tubu leaders will inherit the power of "controlling the earth".
Subsequently, the fortress was renovated and reinforced, so the building they saw is still as strong as ever.
As for whether the so-called "controlling the earth" is alchemy or some kind of special talent, and how to complete the inheritance, the members have different opinions, but they have not given a credible answer.
Like this fortress, "The Pale Hand" also has a history of more than three hundred years - almost the same age as the Empire of Inis she knew. Some say that its true leader has a secret agreement with the imperial royal family, and the organization itself is also
Established for the benefit of the empire. This was consistent with the plaque she saw, but it was obvious that it was doubtful whether an institution that had gone through hundreds of years could still maintain its original goals.
It took a total of five days to understand the things she wanted to know. Then, how to leave here smoothly became their next goal.
Yuffie was not going to wait until Wei Feng let them go - God knew how long it would take. On the other hand, Anya felt quite uneasy that the "Pale Hand" would not hesitate to go to war to keep them here.
"If he plans to do something to the alliance..." Anya twisted her hair worriedly, "I don't want to see everyone in the demon clan die in the battle... Of course, the same goes for the people in the empire."
"Don't worry." Lin comforted her easily, "It's just a stronghold of an underground organization. It's not difficult to leave."
Their original plan was very simple. Similar to the 'Prison Break' in the Oren Empire, Yu Lin controlled the animals to figure out the layout of this underground fortress, and waited for the opportunity to escape when Wei Feng was not here. The members of the Tobe were indeed well-trained
, but Yuffie and Lin were confident enough to quickly make them lose their fighting power without harming each other's lives.
But sometimes, unexpected changes always come earlier than planned.
