Chapter 1762 Drawing Lots
“Even if we know about Alonso, this person has always been a mysterious figure. Although he occasionally appears on the mainland, no one knows his whereabouts and background identity.”< br>
Anderson said: "Suppose the murderer of Dawson is Alonso. He suddenly appears at this time. He either has a grudge against the Holy Garden or has a grudge against Dawson."
Hettok said: "I'm afraid It's not just as simple as ordinary hatred, it should be There must be a bigger conspiracy. I think the time and place where these people appeared were carefully selected and targeted."
Eliza raised her eyebrows and said with surprise." You mean those murderers knew that Dawson would go to Tianyue Tianxia? But how did they know that Dawson would go to Tianxia? Specific speculation! But... is this possible? ”
Arthur asserted: "It's not a possibility, it's a fact!"
"This...this is incredible!"
Arthur said: "Since the news of the meteor falling from the sky came out, , we have fallen into the trap of others' calculations. The Holy Garden has been peaceful for too long, and our enemies have grown stronger in these years and are ready to move."
< br>Everyone's face turned cold, knowing that Arthur had something in mind.
"Arthur, you mean the Illuminati?"
Arthur said: "Whether it is directly related to the Illuminati or not, whenever anyone tries to be an enemy of the Holy Garden in history, the Illuminati will take the initiative to get close to them."
"The Illuminati has not made any move for many years. ." Anderson said.
Arthur nodded: "After a long period of confrontation and fighting, the Illuminati has indeed disappeared, but I don't believe that the operation against Sudemit thirty years ago can wipe out the remnants of the Illuminati. It is true that the dispute that has not been resolved for nearly ten thousand years has been completely eradicated. Is there no trace of the Illuminati anymore?”
Mentuhot touched his shiny forehead, and he encountered several troublesome things just after he took over the position of the Great Sage of the Holy Garden. Problem, this was a bit uncomfortable for him who had been focusing on learning before. He thought for a while and said: "Things have to be handled step by step. The security of the Holy Garden has always been the responsibility of the Temple. Regarding this incident and the Illuminati, I leave it to you, Arthur."
Arthur nodded slightly.
Mentuhot continued: "The most important thing now is the natural disaster that will be caused by the meteorite falling from the sky. Dawson's sudden murder has allowed our entire holy garden to ensure that only one hundred percent of the people can control and use the ultimate weapon. Considering the little time left, Keeler and I don’t have time for others to learn and master it, so Keeler and I are the only options to deal with this catastrophe.”
Everyone. Neither of them spoke, but they had something to say in their hearts. In order to fight against this meteor catastrophe, Sahoul Dawson, the great sage who had sacrificed his life in the Holy Garden, also took up two guards from the Water Kingdom. Now, another sage from the Holy Garden has to be sacrificed for this matter. No one can accept this price.
However, even though they are unwilling to accept it, they have to accept it. They cannot ignore this matter. In that case, not only will hundreds of millions of living beings be annihilated overnight, but Dawson's death will also be in vain.
Anderson spoke: "The price of losing two great sages in one month is unacceptable to the Holy Garden."
Everyone looked at Aha Menis Keeler. Keeler had been in this small hall the whole time, and he had never spoken. When the news of Dawson's murder came, he knew what kind of result he would face.
The kind-hearted Elisa couldn't help but said: "The Holy Garden cannot accept the price of losing two great sages within a month, but Keeler should not be the one destined to be sacrificed."
"Choice Always cruel, do you have a better idea, Eliza?" Anderson asked.
Obviously, no one could come up with a better solution. Eliza didn't want to see a scene where a person was forced to sacrifice, but the situation forced people to make a ruthless decision.
“Let’s draw lots.” Mentuhot said this. No one can say at this time that he is the one who should survive, even though both of them are determined to be martyred.
Keeler nodded and accepted: "That's fair."
Two square pieces of white paper, one with a red circular seal. The paper was folded and placed upside down on the table in a porcelain bowl. Hutok removed his hand from the lid of the bowl and said to everyone: "The one who draws the red lot will be sacrificed."
The lid of the bowl was opened, and everyone held their breath and stared at the two pieces of paper. on-chip. Mentuhot saw that Keeler had not taken it yet, so he stretched out his hand and said: "Then I will go first."
He took one of the two pieces of paper in his hand, but Keeler still did not take the other one, because No need to go to another one.
The paper was opened, and a piece of snow-white snow was placed on the table. Some people breathed a sigh of relief, and some people were worried about Keeler.
"Sorry, Keeler." Mentuhot wanted to say something, but Keeler obviously didn't need it.
Everyone came up and hugged him with great regret. Keeler said expressionlessly: "It's fair. There's nothing to regret. I think my sacrifice will be valuable, right?"
"You will be remembered by the world. So will the history books of the Holy Garden. Record your sacrifice.”
Key. Le didn't have much emotion, just said: "I have a request, can you agree to it?"
"Please tell me, as long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy your wish." Yili Sha lowered her head and secretly wiped the tears from her eyes. Keeler said: "I would like to name a person for the next successor to the Sage, is that okay?"
"Kile." Mentuhot said: "As you know, there is a strict set of rules for the selection and appointment of the twelve sages in the Holy Garden. Only those who pass the examination will have the opportunity to obtain the reputation of a sage. . This inspection is not only very strict, but also takes a long time. You are also someone who has gone through the process, so you should know. The principle behind this. "
Killer said: "Yes, I understand. So in the future, you can examine the candidates I propose. I will not force them to be qualified. It is just a quota for selection and does not violate the law of selection of the 'sage'."
Mentuho. Te thought for a while and looked at everyone's attitude. No one raised any objections, and then said: "The selection of the three 'fittest' of the Holy Garden's Sages was decided jointly by everyone. In view of the special nature of this incident , as long as everyone has no objections, we can add a 'fittest' quota for inspection."
Keeler nodded. Then he said: "Also, can you give me the relics of Dawson's death? I want to bury these things with my own hands."
"Keeler, Dawson was your introducer to the Holy Garden. You always like to make fun of Dawson, but we understand that he is your best friend. "
Keeler finally showed a bitter smile.
......
Back to the war-torn land of Midgart, on the peak south of Hoarfrost Upper City, Inaniga, Belluc and Belika stood Watching the battles in the upper city and lower city on the peak. Inaniga asked: "Has it been half a month since this group of people entered Midgard?"
Belica counted the time and replied: "More than half a month."
"This small country can actually last for such a long time. Can't the 'pirates' who are sweeping everything on the west coast survive without the support of the sea?" There was a sense of schadenfreude in Inaniga's words.
Bellica said: "It's because of the fourth black dragon. Without the fourth black dragon, the capital of Midgart would have been captured long ago. It was he who supported the defense line for nearly ten days."
Inaniga smiled and said: "The fourth black dragon alone held back nearly 100,000 troops for ten days. Doesn't this show their incompetence? It is said that Kya Freed has It seems that his talent as a commander has been packaged with praise and fame for too long. Just being a seventh-level master has caused him trouble for so long. View." Belluc looked at the battle outside the upper city with a serious face: "The pirates were able to destroy everything on the west coast because of the country's corruption and armaments. The pirates are indeed good at fighting, but the soldiers who come here are all those who are equipped with weapons. Most of the pirates who can really fight are still on the west coast. Although it is a small country. The German army has been fighting for so long, but it also gave him the opportunity to train his troops. Midgart's army is a group of people who have been through battles and have rich experience, but they are weak. Soldiers with low military level and no outstanding leaders. On the contrary, those regular armies on the west coast have no harsh combat experience, but they have a commander with very perfect military quality. In a short period of time, such a battle between two armies will be like two weak brigades. duel, but once Fried's army wins and eats the Midgart army, this weak army will gain great benefits. Growth, complete the transformation of new soldiers into veterans. A veteran team in the hands of a good commander will be a very scary team, not to mention that he has siege equipment that I have never seen before. Imagine what they are going to do and how ambitious they are.”
It was rare for Inaniga to see him speak so seriously. : "What are you worried about? You think these rookie soldiers are too strong. There is only one direction for them to move eastward, which is Saint Bikoya. Saint Bikoya's army is not comparable to these rookies. Also, no matter What they want to do has nothing to do with us."
Beluke said solemnly: "The matter has nothing to do with the Prisoner's Gate. But I'm thinking that if the shadow behind this army is the person Di Kui said, he can initiate such an action. Di Kui shouldn't underestimate him. You know, I have a friend who is usually very mysterious and low-key. In fact, she is an expert in precision magic and natural medicine. One day she suddenly announced that she would start repairing the "treasure" that had been blind for a long time. The "Brilliant Corner". At that time, no one who was an expert in alchemy or precision magic thought that she, who was not famous at all, could do it. But in the end, she succeeded, and the "Brilliant Corner" regained its glory and disappeared. Recovering his sight shocked everyone. So, you must never underestimate anyone who is determined to do great things.”
Inaniga held her forehead and said speechlessly: "I just thought you could speak normally, and now you are here again. You always brag that you have such and such powerful friends and comrades, and you don't know how many times you have told them about their great deeds. And the characters and events in each story are It’s not the same. Haha, can you stop bragging about yourself? Telling these exaggerated stories doesn’t show how powerful you are, or do you think you have a lot of friends? Or do you guys just like to use bragging to show your abilities? Turn around and walk down the mountain.
Beluke followed behind and said: "Why don't you believe me. Every story I tell is true, and every friend I tell, they are really amazing."< br>
“Oh, come on, I would rather believe those adventure novels written by ugly, fat, greasy middle-aged people than believe every word you say. ." Inaniga swung her plump buttocks and ran down the mountain in large strides: "Di Kui is coming soon, we should go to greet him."
Beluke was very disappointed, extremely disappointed: "I am a human being. Is it such a failure? Why don’t others believe what I say?”
“I believe you,” said Bellica who was following me.
Belluc was very surprised: "Is it true?"
Belika said: "Although the stories you told are all exaggerated, I believe what you said is true." After speaking, she smiled slightly A smile.
Beluke was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw her smile, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and laugh, showing his big white teeth.
......
The frost shield has melted more than half, and the war below is very fierce. The Black Knight Volo's team was trapped by the Magic Guild and the enemy who relaunched the counterattack. Calasias was blocked by the team led by Jean Reaches. Even the flame swordsman Keton, who was rescued by Calasias, suffered a fate. The enemy generals who came to support Reiki were blocked under the inner wall of the frost shield.
Beta has been a little at a loss since he came to White Frost City. He feels that he is a chess piece thrown here and can be sacrificed at any time. Just like the thousands of soldiers he brought, a flood took away the lives of those people, but there were only a few indifferent words from the king, not even a decent comfort and care. Maybe Maybe it's because he once belonged to the rebels, or maybe the king wanted him to die here.
He waved the sword in his hand numbly, and combined with the officers and soldiers of Midgard, he continued to kill the unfamiliar enemy in front of him.
A mouthful of hot blood spurted on his face. It was the blood of an enemy. The enemy general, whose whole body was burning with flames, was seriously injured under the siege of himself and several Midgard officers. The surrounding soldiers and officers were all excited. Perhaps they were happy by killing the enemy generals, or perhaps it was a rare opportunity to capture the enemy generals. The people around him cheered for a while, and more people rushed forward to grab the victory. But these were insignificant things to him. Just killing enemy officers and generals would theoretically be considered a meritorious service, but he just felt that everything here had nothing to do with him. Even if Hoarfrost City is destroyed and the Midgard army is defeated, these pirate armies will threaten the security of their own country, the Rhineland.
