Chapter 766 (2/2)
”He could not have been here before, because he was still in the red blood castle and secretly instigated governor Bain to prepare for the heretical rebellion; he could not have been after, because the Centaur had been armed from the silver helmet mountain and defeated Archduke Varna.”
”In this short time difference of 20 days, Francis... How did he complete all this layout?”
The dark haired wizard was silent immediately.
”Maybe... They're lying. Supporting the Centaur was their own plan, but it was used by the fascists.” in the dark, Loren twitched his throat and said a speculation that he didn't even believe:
”Now they are aware of the problem, so they want to put all the responsibility on fascism?”
”This seems to make sense... But there is still a question.” the oath Knight continued: ”how did the Centaur and the dwarves of silver helmet mountain reach an alliance?”
”The two sides are far apart, and there is the Principality of Boyi in the middle. Even if they can avoid the eyes and ears of the Grand Duke of Boyi and the night watchman, what way will the dwarves win the trust of the Centaur?”
Loren did not answer, and the knight of the oath did not continue to ask.
The atmosphere in the dark is becoming more and more heavy and depressing.
”I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure it out.” the knight of the oath said to himself, ”so I thought of the power gained by Francis after he became an apostle of evil gods.”
”In eboden, I saw him escape the attack of imperial soldiers; in the glacier wasteland, he found the way to niederhogg alone... And then he came back from death again and again.”
”I wonder if the power of fascism... Has something to do with time?”
The dark haired wizard's eyes widened sharply.
Looking at the contemplative expression of the oath knight, he suddenly recalled Asriel's warning... ”The more you understand the power of the black cross, the more impossible it is to defeat him”.
While Loren was thinking about how to remind the oath knight, a dull crash suddenly sounded!
”Dong! Dong! Dong!”
It's like some kind of footsteps coming from the dark.
The four alert men stopped at the same time and stared at the darkness in front of them.
”Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The sound is getting louder and closer!
Four people gathered almost at the same time; The dwarf Boris who walked in front took out the short handled halberd, while Lucian threw the torch directly to the ground and the double swords came out of their scabbard!
”What the hell is that?!”
The murmuring gray pupil licked his chapped lips, vigilantly maintained the posture of sprinting at any time, and the green tendons of his hands holding the sword were exposed.
He raised his head and just wanted to ask the dwarf, but he saw that the black haired wizard behind him had widened his eyes, completely absorbed and alert.
”Mr. Boris mihalo, I have a little question for you.” Loren, who clenched his teeth and opened the ”beyond perception”, forced his calm face to be slightly ferocious:
”You said... Those wandering in the mines are generally the poor people who owe and commit crimes in the fortress and are called 'Vagrants', right?”
The dwarf looked surprised and clenched his teeth: ”that's right.”
”I remember you said that as long as we don't provoke them, they won't provoke us?”
”It should be... That's right.” his frightened and nervous expression made his words very unconvincing.
”Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The voice was getting closer and closer. It was obviously aimed at four people.
”Really...” Lauren held the bright silver in his hand and put it in front of him:
”Well, I suggest you forget it as soon as possible.”
