Chapter 769 (1/2)
Staring at the already cold bones, the pale dwarf sat down, his absent pupils were in a trance and gasped.
Lucian closed his mouth and curled up in a corner of the mine car; The oath knight, as always, held the ”bright star” in his arms and bowed his head as if he were praying.
No one spoke.
The cold wind roared, and the mine car carrying four people was moving fast on the tracks of the underground tunnel.
The atmosphere of silence has dropped to zero.
Squatting against the guardrail of the carriage, the black haired wizard twitched the corners of his mouth and pressed the beating temples.
The body has not fully recovered from the battle with Brunhild. Using three large-scale Turin fires in a row is still too heavy for yourself.
”Lord Loren, are you all right?” the gray pupil looked at him anxiously and asked tentatively.
”It's all right. I'm still alive.”
Jokingly, the black haired wizard turned his eyes to another corner: ”Your Excellency Boris mikheilo?”
The dejected dwarf barely looked up and didn't seem to have completely recovered from the shock.
But Loren didn't let him go at all. Without waiting for his reaction, he directly asked, ”when you came, you said, 'if you start at No. 43, No. 9 Road, we might go in the direction of...', what?”
Hearing this question, Lucian and the oath Knight couldn't help turning around and staring at the dwarf curled up in the corner.
At the same time, Boris, who was stared at by three people, twitched his cheeks and licked his chapped lips.
”Every mine in Yunling Kingdom has its purpose.” the dwarf said silently:
”The ninth railway track is the first attempt of yinhelmet mountain... We dig the mine down deeply and keep going down. After the efforts of countless generations, we extend the mine to a deep enough level, and take this as the center to develop the underground mine network;”
”Most importantly, we found something different that time.”
”We... Found the secret silver for the first time.”
Accompanied by the roaring tracks and the roaring wind, the dwarf's heavy voice vibrated in their ears like a bell.
”... so.” the steady voice of the oath Knight sounded, ”along this track, we will enter the deepest place at the bottom of the silver helmet mountain... The end of the world?”
”So... Isn't that just the opposite of our destination?” the grey pupil stared in amazement, and his expression was full of surprise: ”when can we capture the silver helmet mountain? The bain army outside can only last for two days at most!”
”On the contrary, this is the quickest way to get inside the fortress.” the dwarf glanced at him, very indifferent:
”After the Mithril mine dried up completely, yinhelmet mountain still sent exploration teams to the pit. Therefore, a special channel was set up to allow us to avoid the surrounding pit area and directly reach the top layer of yinhelmet mountain fortress.”
This answer satisfied Loren, although he still vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the other party.
The simplest and most direct reason - if it is so easy, how can the fascists who have controlled the silver helmet mountain fortress leave it to themselves without setting any traps?
But Boris... Doesn't seem to be lying at all.
Loren's insight and vision, which opened ”beyond perception”, are far beyond the normal category; After life and death again and again, especially after the war with brenhild, he has gradually mastered the skills of observing subtle movements and expression changes, and can even hear the changes of heart pulse and even blood flow.
At least for now, the dwarf did not try to hide or deceive himself.
”The Holy Blood potion, and them...”
The dwarf's face was miserably defeated, as if he had reached the extreme of fear, and his cheeks trembled under his beard: ”the missionary of the Empire, the fascist in your mouth... What is his purpose?”
The solemn oath Knight looked at Loren, and the black haired wizard could only sigh heavily and nod slightly.
”Eboden... That is, the city of wizards, where the nine pointed star wizard tower is located, you may have heard of it.” after seeing Boris's expression, Loren continued:
”There, fascists once did similar things. As a result, most of the city and the whole civilian area became slaughterhouses and altars for sacrificing evil gods!”
The dwarf's complexion was dull and his breathing was disordered. He didn't respond at all.
In the dark, the lonely mine car roared past the track, and the descent speed became faster.
”Why?” Boris clenched his teeth and stared like a brass bell. ”Why did he do this?!”
”Because in eboden, there's something he wants.”
The voice of the oath Knight sounded faintly: ”Francis... He was dressed in the robe of a holy cross servant, but in his bones he was a wild dog chasing power and power; he could do anything to get what he wanted.”
”There is no good, let alone evil; he can join hands with enemies with opposite positions, and he can also seem afraid to kill innocent people blocking his way... Everything is just 'he needs'.”
On one side, Lucian closed his mouth and remembered the figure in a simple black robe who ”helped” himself and Isaac in the Dragon King City.
Did he not kill himself because of ”necessity”?
”I think this time, it should be no different.” Loren said faintly, and his dark pupils looked at the dwarf: ”he took all the trouble, and even used the Holy Blood potion to control the old mining area of silver helmet mountain. It must be for something.”
”So it must be something very special; a paragraph of text, a book, a treasure... Very special enough to make him pay so much, not hesitate to cause a war!”
The voice fell, and the black haired wizard stared at the dwarf's expression, hoping to get a little clue from him to relieve his final confusion.
But the result disappointed him.
The thoughtful dwarf looked more confused than he did, and obviously knew nothing about it.
”Of course, this is just one of many guesses.” aware that the atmosphere has become depressed again, Loren immediately began to change the topic: ”it is also possible that fascism wants to weaken the empire with the help of the power of Yunling kingdom.”
”He is already a wanted criminal of the church. Everyone yells at him in the Empire, so he can only hurt the empire through external forces.”
”In order to weaken the saxophone Empire, it is necessary to set off a civil war in Yunling kingdom?” surprised Boris showed an unbelievable expression: ”this missionary... How arrogant!”
”What does he regard the great Yunling kingdom as? Who does he think he is?!”
”I said, it's just my guess, or even just one of them.” Lauren's eyes were calm and interrupted him faintly. ”Not to mention the current situation... He has succeeded, hasn't he?”
The speechless dwarf blushed, but he was speechless.
No, that's not all.
With a slight sigh, Laurent's pupil reflected the crazy figure of Francis.
”... brenhild is only one part of my plan, not even the most critical; even if you stop me, you just let the truth continue to be concealed, and let this vain Empire and ordinary people continue to live in deception and lies...”
