Chapter 822 (2/2)
Looking back on the previous Centaur war, he seems to be the least prominent and the least eye-catching guy - a veteran who climbed out of the line of life and death, but it's hard to remember how he did it.
”Although it's late, call him out.”
After thinking for a moment, Dalton said coldly, ”I hope your previous words can awaken something that no longer exists in his heart.”
…………………………………………
Fill a glass of wine and gently put it in the young man's hand; The expressionless Lauren sat quietly opposite him and looked at the ”ordinary and extreme” night watchman.
A quarter of an hour ago, he was ”escorted” by Dalton to the wizard tower in red blood castle, and asked little Yod to find himself by himself.
”This man hides most of the intelligence network in the Principality of Byrne.”
A word is enough to illustrate his importance.
With a slight sigh, Loren was ready to speak first.
”Drink some. This is this year's red blood wine. It's the same variety as the tribute to the sky palace.” Loren said faintly: ”there should be no Byrne people who don't drink in the world.”
In silence, a young man named Carl Colin twitched his throat.
”I have been in ambush in Bain since six years ago. I was originally the deputy of the head of red blood castle and took over when he left.” the young man, who did not change his face, said softly:
”That night, when you destroyed the heretic church and raided the cathedral... I was there.”
”On that day, I was there when you planned to sing an oboe without telling Byrne and the two sides of the sky palace;”
”In the round table hall, I was there when you mediated among the thirteen earls and tried your best to promote Countess Charlotte to the throne of Duke;”
”In Qianzhang City, I was there when you discussed the decisive battle with salika and Varna, and outside the silver helmet mountain fortress...”
”I didn't ask you that.”
Loren interrupted him.
”But apart from these, I'm of no value to you.” Colin smiled sadly. ”You've been a night watchman, even temporarily - you should know that once I haven't heard back for more than two months, I'll be acquiesced to be dead, and the whole intelligence network will reshuffle.”
”I can tell you some important strongholds. If your men are efficient enough, they should be able to pull out most before they notice.”
”In this way, the influence of the night watchman in Bain will be reduced to the minimum within at least half a year, and it can't have any impact on you.”
Lauren stared at each other. He could feel each other's heartbeat was very calm. It didn't look like a caught spy or the performance of a dying man.
”Why?”
”Why, why should I tell you this?” Colin's mouth curved more and slowly raised his head. ”Anyway, even if I don't say it, you'll force me to say it by all kinds of means, won't you?”
”Although I'm a night watchman, I'm actually afraid of pain... Just because I'm afraid of pain, I survived the last war between you and chakar, because I really didn't have the courage to stab myself.”
He laughed at himself, but saw the black haired wizard wave his hand at him.
”That's not what I'm asking.”
”What I want to ask is why... You deliberately want to die?”
Colin gave a sudden shock and his chest heaved violently.
”I let Lucian give you a chance... As long as you can persuade several people to leave silently, no one can find your identity as a night watchman, you can still spy on me in the dark.”
Loren bowed his head and said faintly, ”you should understand that once you enter the laboratory, your void reaction will reveal your identity as a night watchman - you are looking for death.”
Colin froze completely.
In the dark room, two people looked at each other.
”Because I have no choice.” the young man said slowly:
”There is a message from the rear. LUT infinite has realized that your so-called 'floating city' is just a tool to confuse your sight. They asked me to search the truth hidden in your accounts.”
”Yes, you are very smart, and the people around you are also very smart. They can do everything perfectly, except that they can't make things out of nothing - the resources you spend, the manpower you mobilize, the expenses of the Duke's court and the loss of various materials... Can't be fake.”
Lauren raised his eyebrows without interrupting him.
”If it goes on like this, it's only a matter of time before they find out that this' demon hunter army '.” he bowed his head and continued, ”so I think if I'm found, maybe I can buy you some time.”
”Even if it's only half a year, even if... Just a few months.”
He gritted his teeth and his expression was extremely low.
Lauren was stunned.
”Why?”
This is the second time he said this today.
”Because... Because you are the Duke of Byrne.” his face showed that self mocking smile again: ”and I am a Byrne, how can a Byrne...”
”You are a saxophone... A genuine East saxophone.” Lauren raised his head and looked straight into his eyes: ”my people told me that you have no friends in red blood castle for more than three years.”
The young man froze again.
He was silent for a moment.
”I... Originally wanted to escape, more than once.” his expression was confused and sober - it was such a contradictory expression intertwined on his face:
”But after captain Lucian said those words, I understood that I couldn't run - because he was right. How could the night watchman and the sky palace not know about those monsters, evil gods and demons?”
”They all know, but they don't know... Now you tell them loudly, so they want to kill you at any cost and desperately collect all the information that will be bad for you!”
”You know very well what will happen if you do this; you can't do it without knowing that the Holy Cross will not let you go.”
”But Lord Loren... You did it; because you know very well that you are right and they are wrong.”
”Even if it's only this time, I want to try... Do the right thing once!”
The voice fell, and he resolutely raised his glass.
Drink it up!
