Chapter 2377 The Betrayer
Game time PM19:27
Southwestern Continent, northern border of the Griffin Dynasty, Likud City
“A very rich drink.”< br>
On the tallest tower in the noble district, the chief of staff of the Dreamland Theocracy, wearing a monocle, slender and kindly smiling, Lamorlock breathed a sigh of contentment, and then put the half in his hand. Putting the cup of coffee back on the priceless luxurious long table made of red elm in front of him, he lowered his eyes and looked at the bloody, cruel, absurd, cold, and crazy "magnificent" scenes under the tower, and sighed. Said: "A very efficient massacre."
"..."
Half an hour ago, she was the master of this city. The most favored woman of the younger generation of the Howard family, Merav Howard, has dazzling long golden hair, a delicate face, and a beautiful figure. Silver Teeth chewed lightly, but did not speak harshly to the man in front of him who was about to turn Likud into a dead city. He just took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Then——
“I see.”
Lamorlock seemed to be watching the massacre under the tower, but he was always paying attention to Merav’s condition. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "So, you really didn't have the slightest intention of tricking me into beheading me, but simply... betrayed your family, soldiers and people in order to protect yourself, right?"
Merav opened her eyes again with a pale face. After a long silence, she asked in a terrifyingly quiet voice: "How can you see it?"
"Because you dare not face those tragic deaths, because you don't Dare to listen to those cries before death, my dear, although you appear strong, we must admit one thing, that is, you are in deep fear now."
Lamorlock. She smiled and said leisurely: "In my hometown, there has always been a proverb, 'Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.' And you, respected Ms. Merav, at least in recent years, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to sleep well."
Merav tugged at the corners of her lips and said dryly: "Maybe, but at least I still have the capital to sleep well, and that's enough. ”
“And this is exactly the basic logic that allows us to stand here side by side and watch the ‘scenery’.”
Lamorlock nodded happily and said sincerely: "I am deeply happy that you failed to become 'part of the scenery'."
Merav tried twice, and finally Still failed to squeeze out a decent one With a smile, he could only ask in a flat, dry voice: "So, just because I just closed my eyes, do you think arbitrarily that I may not have planned to kill you here?"
"Haha. …”
Perhaps because of the word 'arbitrary', Lamorlock couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckled, and then explained in a calm tone: "This is enough, my lady, at least in my opinion. , for someone who plans to sacrifice everything for For heroes who die together, remembering this tragic and desperate scene without missing any detail is helpful to strengthen your determination and ensure that you have the courage to be decisive enough when you really take action."
"..."< br>
Merav fell into silence again. After a long time, she clenched her fists and said with a trembling voice: "I could have done this."
"Oh?"
Realized Lamorlock, who seemed to be about to give a wonderful speech, raised his eyebrows and picked up the modal word very wisely.
“Listen, General Staff Lamolock, even now, I am willing to dedicate everything, including my own life, to a rational and wise family, but the premise of all this is that my family must be worthy of me. Give these!"
Merav stared into Lamorlock's eyes and said angrily: "I have seen through it long ago! I have seen through it long ago that the essence of this war is not a chauvinist empire. The crown prince of Rifen died, so that the small country and your Dream Kingdom declared war on us in order to uphold justice! In the final analysis, this war is a drama directed and performed by the Logan family, the Chauvin Empire, and the Dream Kingdom! The only purpose is to exterminate us nobles who have been obstructing the royal family for too many years! Let us be the only victims in this deliberately staged conflict!”
Lamorlock smiled slightly and praised sincerely: "She is indeed the perfect girl whose popularity is second only to those two pearls among the younger generation of Griffin Dynasty. As far as I know, if you are not a descendant of the Howard family, just based on these Judging from his performance in 2016, the title of Grand Duke Howard may not necessarily fall on Fast Howard.”
“I have no desire for the title of Grand Duke Howard, and there is no other way to be loyal to the family. Inheriting it is an option."
Merav responded coldly and said expressionlessly: "What I can't tolerate is that after I clearly told them my worries. The rat-eyed people who had been blinded by the so-called engagement actually thought that I was jealous of Fast getting such a good opportunity, that I was alarmist, and that I just wanted to destroy the fate between that idiot and Gaweier Logan. A possible engagement!"
Lamorlock nodded slightly and said casually: "That's it."
"It's stupid!"
Finally finding an outlet for her complicated emotions, Merav, whose face was flushed, raised her fist angrily and said angrily: "Who doesn't know that Fast Howard wants to get involved with Her Highness Gaweier! And those who attended that dinner Who doesn't know that the latter is infatuated with Arthur Bohe of the Chauvin Empire! With the Blood Lion's love for his two sisters, I'm afraid that even if our Howard family threatens to defect to the Silver Wings Alliance, he will never do it. allow that You stupid toad, look at Gaweier again!"
Lamorlock seemed to have realized something, and continued to provide emotional value to this sincere lady: "In that case, what you just said, Ms. Merav. What happened to the engagement?”
“You don’t need to think about it to know that it was Her Highness Elisa’s idea, but even she would never allow that idiot Fast to really have an affair with Gaweier. Your Highness ordered If you think about it carefully, you will know that the reason why the Logan family is willing to make this promise is just to draw the Howard family over!"
Merav sneered and said with a gloomy look: "And! Our family leader who usually calls himself a far-sighted man, after hearing the word 'marriage', he was like a dog seeing meat and bones. His brain was extremely smooth and he smiled at the sincerity of the Logan family, and his heart I long for my great-grandson to become the next Great Griffin!"
"So, the reason why Ms. Merav secretly contacted me and colluded with our army to hand over Likud City, It’s not that a person who is afraid of death is trying to survive and seek glory as a seller, but because the person in charge of the Howard family ignored your correct warning and was manipulated by the Logan family.”
Lamorlock grinned and smiled: "It's understandable."
"The General Staff does not need to hurt others with secret words."
Merav took a deep breath to calm down her excitement. In his mood, he said coldly: "I I know very well how disgusting what I have done is, and I have no intention of defending myself even half a sentence. The reason why I contacted you secretly is simply because even without me, Likud City is so crazy and unreasonable under your control. It is also doomed under the offensive was broken, and referring to your past actions, I have enough reasons to believe that everyone in Likud City, including me, will be killed to death, and retreating to the south on your own will only bring trouble to the Logan family. An excuse to make trouble, when the time comes I and my Followers are still facing a dead end."
Lamorlock smiled briefly and asked concisely: "So?"
"So the choice I have to make is actually very simple. .”
Merav looked at Ramloch's always smiling eyes and answered word by word: "Be buried with this city, or... not be buried with this city."
"Very Obviously, you made the right judgment."
Lamorlock said casually, and then added: "There is an old saying in my hometown, which is called 'A scholar who knows his friends will die'. Judging from the performance of the Howard family, they are obviously not worthy of letting you give up your life."
"It's not important, General Staff Lamolock."
Merav shook her head and said seriously. : "I just hope you can remember your promise and leave me a place in this army, a place that allows me to sleep better at night. In addition, there is also the matter of Edwin Mihaili... …”
The smile in Lamorlock's eyes grew thicker: "Of course, no problem. It just so happens that I am worried that my energy is not enough during this period. It is of course a blessing to have Ms. Merav, a talented person, to help share trivial matters. As for that Mr. Edwin, oh, to be honest, Tom is my most trusted right-hand man. He has Take action, your friend will naturally not-"
"Edwin Mihaili is dead." The next second, in a burst of twisted dark green ripples, his figure was as thin as Merav's. A young man with blond hair, Tom Lestrange appeared quietly beside Lamorlock, feminine, There was no expression on his handsome and pale face: "I'm sorry, you two, but I couldn't save him."
"Edwin..."
Meravhara She staggered a bit, but did not fall down after all. She just turned her sea-blue eyes to the young man next to Lamorlock. Nian, asked softly: "I'm sorry, can you tell me how he died?"
"He violated your arrangement and rashly entered the place labeled [Eye-17] by Lamorlock. Regional reconnaissance, and ended up being involved in the indiscriminate nightmare storm created by the Shadow of Decay.”
Tom Lestrange lowered his head and played with his wand [Snake Venom] while saying indifferently: "I went a step too late and couldn't drag him out, but the good news is that he died in his sleep. , there is no pain in the process.”
With strong psychological quality. Merav, who quickly returned to normal, smiled and nodded to Tom again: "That's it, thank you, I...I'm glad that he left without pain."
"Yes."< br>
Tom made a faint nasal noise as an answer.
“What a pity~”
But Lamorlock smacked his lips and sighed: "Obviously because of the disparity in status, we have not dared to recognize each other for many years. This time, I finally got rid of the constraints of the Howard family and turned around to join my Dream Kingdom, which has no aristocratic system. But in I overheard the person I liked before I was about to reveal my feelings to him. News of his death, tsk tsk, please accept my most sincere apology, Ms. Merav, after all, the fundamental reason is that I trusted the wrong person and let Tom, a child who is not mature enough, handle this matter, which made the situation turn into This is an irreversible predicament.”
“ Don’t say that, General Staff Lamolock.”
Merav has dealt with the young man as the messenger twice before, and she has completely let go of Edwin’s death in a short period of time. He shook his head vigorously and said seriously: "This is definitely not Mr. [Snake]'s fault. "
Lamorlock frowned and said sternly: "No, no, this is obviously Tom's fault. If it hadn't been for him, your sweetheart wouldn't have died at all!"
"Edwin is just an old friend of mine."
Merav, who had already convinced herself with this reason, emphasized it verbally again and said seriously: "If we really want to pursue the case, I think my responsibility is greater than Mr. [Snake]..."
"Shut up."
At this moment, Tom... Lestrange suddenly interrupted Merav, and said coldly to the general who had been defending himself: "Get out."
Merav's face froze when she heard this: " [Snake] Sir, you..."
"Get out of here, woman"
Tom interrupted Merav again and said in a deep voice: "I plan to appreciate Lamorlock's 'art' here, but you... are an eyesore."
"..."
< br>After a brief silence, Merav showed a weak smile to the boy, whispered "I understand", then turned and walked towards the trap door behind Tom.
However—
“Wait a minute.”
Hearing Lamorlock's voice, Tom and Merav's bodies trembled at the same time. Just when the young man's face cooled down and he was about to speak, the former said the following first: "Since Ms. Merav I have already made it clear that it is not your responsibility. Tom, you might as well tell the whole process of killing Edwin Mihaili. You are still young and it is not good for your health to always hide things in your heart."
Merav, who had already reached the trap door, suddenly turned around: "...Eh!?"
Tom pointed the [Snake Venom] at Lamorlock expressionlessly and said coldly Threatened: "What on earth do you want to do?!"
"I don't want to do anything, Tom."
Lamorlock opened his eyes and used his pair of eyes that seemed to be able to capture people's souls. Her eyes were fixed on the young man's vertical pupils, and she said softly: "I simply believe that Ms. Melas has the right to hear the truth, no matter how sad and heartbreaking the truth is."< br>
"I'm warning you, Ramolo..."
"Look at the look in her eyes, Tom, do you really have the heart to let this innocent lady live in lies for the rest of her life?"
< br>“…”
“Do you really think that the momentary relief can be worth the pain of countless dreams of today when she was insomnia?”
“…”
"Tell her the truth, Tom. If you still hesitate, then in the name of me, Lamorlock, unveil Edwin Mihaili for her!"
" ..."
"...Woman."
"...Mr. Snake?"
"He escaped."
"Yes."
"I killed him."
"Okay."
