Chapter 1617 The Eighth Man
Boom...
The echo of the empty sky is the sound of thunder and lightning flashing. There is no rain, only thunder. On this lonely mountain peak, there is a lonely and old castle.
The castle is very tall, with a spire, towering, and gloomy, as if it has been stained by this damn weather, but it also seems like it is originally like this.
People entered here one by one, and more than half of the more than twenty people stayed on the first floor of the castle. Only seven people wearing red clothes with different patterns embroidered on their chests could go upstairs.
Boom~! ! Boom~! !
There were two more thunders, and the seven men in red climbed to the top of the castle. There is only one room here, not too big or too small. There is a stove in the room, and the fire in the stove has been burning for some time.
"Why did you choose to gather here for the meeting? Can't you find a place closer?"
The man in red had his face covered, even though there were only seven of them.
“It’s not easy to find a place to hold a meeting. The pirates seem to have noticed us.”
There was a circular red carpet on the ground, with eight chairs on it, forming a large circle. There was a blackboard in the gap, with a formula graphic drawn on it and some numbers written on it.
Seven people sat on seven chairs of seven different patterns, and one was empty. The empty ones belong to the one who brought them together.
The man with the blue whale embroidered on his chest said: "Why don't you take off the masks on your faces? Can't you trust each other?"
The man with the herring embroidered on his chest said: "We There is too much entanglement and hatred among the seven countries, and they are all worried that their appearance will be betrayed."
The people in Baiying shook their heads: "It's like this, and there is no trust at all."
The man from Yellow Crab said: "We all take off our masks together. We all know each other and have a restraint on each other. If we don't speak, we agree. Then I will count to three and we will take off our masks together." He scanned the crowd with his eyes. He spat out: "Three, two, one..."
No one moved, not even himself.
The man embroidering the black wolf smiled: "Humph, interesting, interesting, interesting."
After a long time, the man embroidering the herring said: "Actually, we don't need to know each other, everyone. As long as it’s a goal. After waiting for so long, why hasn’t the eighth person come yet?”
It started to rain outside. The rain came suddenly and heavily, hitting the windows with a pitter-patter sound. A man in red got up, opened the red curtains, and looked at the rain and fog outside. There was silence in the room for a while. However, just outside, separated by this window, Pidge was pressing against the wall. Just now he was eavesdropping on the conversation inside, but now he had nothing to say.
"Why aren't you here yet?" The man in red wanted to smoke, but didn't want to take off his mask. He felt uncomfortable when the urge to smoke came, and then the eighth man came.
When the eighth person came, the other seven people became energetic. It was not because of anything else, but because they didn't know who the eighth person was. Although the seven of them didn't know each other's true identities, they could guess that they were the surviving royal families of the Seven Kingdoms, but they had no clue about the eighth person.
The eighth person is wearing red clothes, like a monk in a monastery. The color of his clothes is also redder and brighter than those here. His whole body was wrapped in a long and wide robe, and neither his body nor his face could be seen. This is the same as when everyone first met this person. They could only tell that he was a little tall and nothing else.
"Why are you here so late? My time is very precious." Some people are dissatisfied because only others are waiting for him. When has he ever waited for others?
The eighth person is not angry, because you can't tell whether he is angry or not. His feeling and mood have not changed at all. You can only think that he is not angry, but he spoke in a very The strange voice said: "Time is precious, but it is only for the living and has no value for the dead."
This was not the first time that the seven of them heard the eighth person speak. Every time they heard this voice, they felt unbearable and wanted to hit him or break all the bones in his body.
Everyone frowned, and the man with the yellow crab on his chest said: "Okay, stop talking, hurry up and say everything you need to say, I have to go back and take a shower. Yuzhen It's unbearable."
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh..." The eighth person laughed in a weird way, and his voice was also weird: "Revenge? This is the restoration of the country? Your determination? Ridiculous. Hehe, hehe, hehe..."
The yellow crab said unhappily: "What do you want to say, please hurry up?"
The eighth person said: "You need to be safe when talking. I hope you didn't say anything more before I came, otherwise everyone outside the window will hear it."
The seven people were shocked, and the people outside the window were also shocked, and they immediately jumped off the building and fled.
“Hurry up!”
“Get down quickly, don’t let him run away!”
Seven people shouted to run downstairs, but there were already people downstairs. I went to chase him, but the eighth man didn't move. When the seven people saw that the eighth person was not moving, they all stopped and asked, "Why don't you chase him?" "Hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe..." The eighth person said, "Stupid, stupid person. I always forget the purpose of today because of the things in front of me. I am not here to chase him.”
Everyone was stunned and remembered that they were here for a meeting today to decide on the next step.
The eighth person said with a smile: "A small person can make you forget the big things in your heart. He is worthy of the so-called royal family. His IQ is turned into shit."
< br>"You...who the hell are you talking to?"
A few of the seven people were hot-tempered and about to get angry on the spot, but the eighth person didn't care at all, as if he didn't care at all. Don't know the same.
The anger was suppressed by others. Bai Ying said: "Don't waste time, we should talk now..."
Pige ran quickly, but the pursuers were still behind him. He was injured. He jumped from such a high place and was surrounded by these people. It was difficult not to get injured. These dozen people were not weak, and they could not defeat him one on one, two on one, or three on one. But so When multiple people join forces, as well as those monsters, even though Pige is known for his speed of attack, there are times when he can't parry them.
"Magic!"
"Fire the arrow and chase!"
Pige heard the sound behind him and received a fireball on his shoulder. If he really fought with all his life, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, but he didn't come here just to fight. At this time, a river appeared in front of him. Pidge's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped into the water. When he came out, he was already far downstream...
In the castle room, the charcoal in the stove was burning. There was a popping sound, the fire was very strong, much hotter than before.
Embroidered Blue Whale said: "So our next step is to act in a secretive way, continue to destroy, build momentum, and then wait, wait for the world army, wait for other forces in the world to take action before we cooperate?"
< br>The eighth person nodded: "Yes, no matter what, when we take the initiative to attack head-on, we will attack the stone with an egg. There is no chance of victory. Only by cooperating with the foreign army can we be sure of victory."
Some people were dissatisfied and said: "I don't believe it. We are so fragile and have no chance at all? Or you talked about those pirates too much!"
"Heh, heh, heh, Ha, ha..." The eighth person said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, just bring your troops to fight, I won't object."
With that said, the seven people have nothing to say. . But some people are worried: "Will the world army and people from other forces you mentioned definitely come?"
The eighth person said: "It will come, for sure. Because... it must."
Although the eighth person has been unwilling to reveal his identity, he was the one who called them to join forces in the resistance, and now he is They said it with such certainty, as if they knew a lot of inside information, so they no longer had any objections. They themselves also felt that it would be better if outside troops intervened.
“Now there are two questions I want to understand.” The person embroidering the herring asked: “Why are our seven countries divided into eight Red Guards?”
Embroidering the Black Wolf The person looked at the eighth person coldly and replied: "Does this need to be said? Because there are eight of us here. Eight of us, of course there will be eight Red Guards.”
The eighth man shook his head: “No, no, no, when the time comes, whether you want revenge or restoration, I will. I won’t give you a share.”
The one who embroidered the purple deer was surprised: "Oh, then why are you helping us?"
The eighth person said slowly: "This... you don't need to know, you just need to know that I am helping you. That’s enough. I have my own use for this eighth army.”
"Hmph~!"
The herring embroiderer said again: "There is another question. I don't understand why we have to spend so much effort to find a boring princess? Don't any of us not want to be the king ourselves?" said As he stood, his eyes were fixed on the man embroidered with a white eagle.
The man embroidering the white eagle said: "Yes, that's what I think."
Before Xiu Qingyu could speak, others laughed: "Why are your words so unbelievable? For people from the royal family, family ties are a joke. There must be some secret hidden in this little princess, otherwise you wouldn't bother so much."< br>
