Chapter 140: The Viscount's Choice
On the stage, the actress used high notes to bring the whole play to a climax. Amidst the thunder and rain, the gods were punishing the ignorant mortals with heavenly punishment.
In Room 216, the turbulent airflow showed the complicated inner struggle of Viscount Iskolan at this time.
He didn't want to believe what Inspector Meteor said, but he couldn't explain some of the unusual things happening within the Brotherhood recently. There was also the sudden visit of Erguya, the special envoy of the Duke of Celtic, and the order.
Capturing Clear Sky, Book of Disaster, Temple of the Abyss... seem to be connected in a logical circle.
So what choice should I make at this time?
Ignore the evil deeds of the Abyss Mage in order to maintain the support of the Brotherhood?
Or attack the Abyss Mage... If there is no support from the Brotherhood, how will the Emperor and the City of Raging Waves deal with the Isklan family?
The situation of the Imperial agents raiding Vergil's house is still fresh in my mind. Is this scene going to happen here soon?
"Inspector Meteor, I think our interests are mostly the same."
Regarding Iskran's probing of himself, Luke said: "This is what you think...what do the interests here have to do with me? The interests you are pursuing now are like a rein that ties you up and makes you weak.
Making you surrender...pulling you down a path you don't want to take.
Since you don’t know what will happen in the future, why not follow your own heart? Leave everything to history and leave it to future generations to evaluate!”
The chaotic atmosphere around Viscount Escolan calmed down instantly. He looked at Luke and asked after a while: "Are you really an imperial spy?"
"You think I'm not an imperial agent, who am I?"
A smile appeared on Viscount Escolan's face: "Her Royal Highness, Princess, has your help, so I should consider my position.
However, the most important thing now is to get rid of these abyss mages first. I just met the special envoy of the Celtic Duke, and he asked me to find a way to meet with Elf Clear Sky..."
Viscount Isklan, who had made the decision, told Luke what he had discussed with Erguya.
Luke did not have too many doubts about Viscount Isklan turning to him. During the normal course of the game, he broke with the Brotherhood because he was dissatisfied with the tragedy caused by the Abyss Mage in Raging Waves City.
But his actions did not make him accepted by the new nobles.
After Raging Waves City became autonomous, the first thing the new nobles did was to confiscate all the properties of the Iskran family in Raging Waves City and expel Viscount Iskran from the country.
well……
Mrs. Michel was defeated and died in the political struggle, and Viscount Iscolan ended up leaving home.
Ibur's ending was a little better, but he was also squeezed out of the parliament, his assets shrank significantly, and he finally became an ordinary businessman.
Can you lead this kind of teammate?
You have to wear it even if you bite the bullet.
"You are responsible for finding the hiding place of the Abyss Mage... I remind you that all the people in the Raging Wave City branch of the Blade Bearing Brotherhood cannot be trusted. You'd better know who can and who can't be used."
Viscount Iskran nodded with deep understanding, quickly filtering out the people who could be used in his mind, and then replied to Luke: "Don't worry, I know who is truly loyal to me.
What should we do to find their hiding place?"
Luke said: "I'm going to find Mrs. Mihir and ask Elf Clear Sky to play a play with us.
I think if Elf Qingkong agrees to meet you, her strength will definitely allow the Abyss Mages to concentrate all their forces in Raging Wave City to deal with it. As long as we know where they are gathering, Oulu College, the Secret Intelligence Bureau, the Public Security Department and you... we
Join forces to surround and eliminate them.
How to do it specifically will be discussed in detail after I contact someone."
"Okay..." Viscount Iscolan knew such a big thing. It was impossible for two people to make a detailed plan here. He first found the hiding place of the Abyss Mage. Then Iscolan thought of something,
Said to Luke: "The chief minister of the cabinet, Walter Gabriel, sent a group of people to Raging Waves City. The leader was Vogt Yomington, who was the staff of the chief minister of Gabriel.
He's here for Virgil's case."
When Luke heard the name Vogt Jomington, his first concern was sandpaper.
The plot has been changed too much by myself.
The city of Raging Waves is still full of demons dancing wildly!
After Sandpaper was kicked out of the private room by Luke, he wandered around the Cixi Palace. Following the instructions of the detective when he arrived, he looked around to see if there was anyone suspicious.
She was wearing machinist overalls, carrying a tool bag, and looked like a harmless girl, so she did not alert anyone she met.
They all regarded her as a mechanical apprentice repairing equipment.
“The detective only asked me to look for suspicious people, so what exactly is a suspicious person?
Is it suspicious if a man and a woman get into a room hugging each other?
Do you want to go and have a look..."
And just as the sandpaper was walking aimlessly, a voice suddenly sounded in her head.
You can't escape!
here we go again.
Sandpaper saw the man standing in front, and fear made her instinctively avoid her eyes, trying to do something to divert her attention.
She knew that the man was an illusion created by her own spirit, but the illusion was so real that she couldn't help but think of those terrible memories.
Not just my own memories.
She didn't know how many memories of girls were mixed into her mind, and each one was filled with fear.
The detective said: The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!
Sandpaper knows that this is right.
But I can't do it myself.
She didn't dare to look into the man's eyes.
Sandpaper took out the drink bottle from the tool bag and took a deep sip of the special engine oil.
"Alice... come, it's your turn... complete this secret technique, and you will have the most beautiful voice in the world..."
Sandpaper couldn't help but replied: "No, I'm not Alice! My name is Sandpaper, and I am Sandpaper from Diagonal Street!"
"Whether you are called Sandpaper, Cronin, or Tessie, you are still my Alice. Among your sisters, you are the best..."
But you abandoned them!
You escaped..."
"I will find them... No matter where they are, I will find them..."
Sandpaper roared, the sound echoing in the empty corridor.
The man disappeared.
But in the aftermath of fear, she felt an inexplicable throb rising in her heart.
The ends of her long hair swayed towards the window next to her.
Sandpaper looked out the window. Outside was a small square opposite the main entrance of Xixisai Palace. Three luxury carriages drove up and stopped in the small square, and then a group of people got out of the cars.
One of the familiar figures appeared in Sandpaper's sight.
The sudden excitement made Sandpaper jump out of the window. Three stories high, he landed firmly on the ground and rushed forward without any pause.
The group of people who had just arrived and got off the bus found sandpaper rushing towards them.
A "Sir Protector" sounded.
A petite figure rushed out from the crowd.
She was about the same age as Sandpaper, with a cold murderous look on her slightly immature face. She held a thin sword and stabbed at the Sandpaper.
