Chapter 318 (1/2)
”This is the former Kingdom Code. It records many lost ancient magics and the taboo on how to resurrect the dead...”
Franklin said leisurely, looking at Swinburne's Mo Yang, he knew that he was very moved, and the heat in his eyes was hard to conceal.
”How? Is it something you desperately want?”
Swinburne calmed down a bit, understood a lot of things in an instant, and couldn't help laughing, ”Hahahahahaha...
”Uh!” Franklin was a little flustered and asked in surprise, ”What's the laugh? What's so funny?”
Swinburne put away his smile, his face suddenly hard to look like, ”Who are you?”
”I...” Franklin's pressure suddenly increased, and he said nervously, ”You don't need to know who I am.”
”Let me guess it...” Swinburne leaned on the chair for a while and said seriously, ”Are you from the royal capital? No, you are from the queen's side to be precise, and you can still The kind that has the secrets of the empire, the scope is narrowed a lot...”
”Why do you say that?” Franklin suddenly became nervous, and his clothes wet his back with cold sweat.
”The former Kingdom Code was something the queen seized a while ago, but now it appears in front of me, don't you think this is weird? I don't think that any thief can sneak into the treasure house of the empire, so there is only one possibility, you are Someone with high authority around the Queen...” Swinburne narrowed his eyes and looked at Franklin.
Franklin's eyes widened, feeling that his identity had been guessed by Swinburne, but he still couldn't admit that it would threaten the status of Her Majesty the Queen.
”I am not, you must be mistaken.”
Swinburne did not speak, but put the cigarette in his mouth
Suddenly picked up the wine bottle next to him, and slammed it on Franklin's head fiercely. The crystal shards of glass splashed!
”Ah!” Franklin let out a scream, instantly stunned.
Swinburne grabbed Franklin's hair and violently knocked his head on the table, exuding a huge holy pressure!
The red blood trickled from Franklin's head and spread to the table, his body was suppressed and could not move.
Swinburne took the burning cigarette in his mouth, unhurriedly lifted Franklin's hood, and saw his face clearly.
”Yo~”
”This is not the famous Franklin Knight Commander.”
”What? Are you betraying the old woman Elizabeth now?”
(~_,~)
Chapter 25: Coming
Swinburne was condescending, pressed Franklin's head firmly on the table, and asked in an almost icy tone.
The bright red blood trickled down, slowly spreading from Franklin's forehead to the tabletop, and then dripping to the ground.
Franklin was frightened, sweating constantly, and his eyes were horrified and blank. Even if he wanted to resist, he was suppressed by Swinburne's overwhelming sacred power, making him unable to move.
For a time Franklin thought about a lot of things, and finally chose to stand on the side of loyalty and decided to take all the responsibilities and preserve the honor of Her Majesty the Queen.
”Yes! I...I betrayed Queen Elizabeth...”
”Oh? Why?” Swinburne narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.
”Because...” Franklin thought for a while, and had to make up a seemingly seamless lie, ”Because I want to be a thorn knight, but...but I never get the approval, so...so I want to destroy the empire...”
”This is your purpose?” Swinburne said with a blank face, biting his cigarette holder, ”Want to use us to confront Elizabeth head-on?”
”Yes...Yes! Otherwise I won't give you something as important as the former Kingdom Code...” Franklin looked flustered, and continued to add, ”You have been suppressed by the royal families of various countries for so many years, don't you want revenge? We? If the interests are the same, we can cooperate well!”
Swinburne was expressionless, spit out layers of smoke, and smiled suddenly, ”Haha, I think you are lying to me as a kid? You didn't tell the truth at all.”
”Uh...how?!” Franklin suddenly became nervous, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what he said. Why didn't Swinburne believe him?
”Let us destroy the empire, what good can you do? You can't give us the code of the former kingdom without a huge enough profit drive...” Swinburne paused, and continued to say in a mocking tone, ”And just because If you betray the empire without being a thorn knight, who would believe such a naive reason? Are you in my IQ like ours?”
Franklin's expression was astonished, his eyes widened and speechless. He didn't expect Swinburne to have such a suspicious character, it seemed that no matter what he said, it was difficult to gain trust.
Swinburne didn't have much patience. He stretched out his hand in front of Franklin, and suddenly a blue flame burst out of his palm, slowly burning.
Even though the flame is small, the temperature is very hot. The temperature of the entire coffee shop rises instantly, as if people are in the stove.
That huge holy rank magic power made Franklin frightened, and he didn't dare to release the atmosphere. If the flame burned on him, he would turn into ashes in the blink of an eye.
”Now there is only one chance before your eyes, to tell the truth or die!”
Franklin's expression became fierce, and suddenly there was no sense of calmness, only the enthusiasm for killing.
”I……”
Franklin widened his eyes and looked at the pale blue flame in front of him, looking like a ghost fire.
