Chapter 124: Moving forward with a heavy load
Just as Helot was looking at the information he had given to start the plot, a series of explosions suddenly came from outside. The already weak hut shook violently, and large amounts of dust and gravel fell down.
Breshni, who was guarding the door, opened it... pulled the broken door down and shouted: "Master!"
The light from outside the door came in, Herot Run out.
Looking back, the house collapsed.
Mondorali and Frank both ran out, and they looked towards the direction of the explosion, where the light was so strong that the sky was brighter than during the day.
"Holy energy!" Mondorali judged its energy properties just by the color of the light: "Why did the people from the Holy Continent suddenly come to Scorched Earth City?"
Frank was even more powerful Shocked: "That's, that's where the elders of the headquarters are hiding. They are being besieged by people from the Holy Continent, let's go to support them quickly!"
Frank turned around, and neither Helot nor Mondor Lali was there. move.
Mondorali said: "This is obviously an ambush. How was the whereabouts of the elders of the headquarters exposed?"
Helot said: "If the traitor is not in the Scorched Earth City branch, he must be in the headquarters. Master Laem was arrested in Scorched Earth City, and now another elder of the headquarters is ambushed in Scorched Earth City..."
Mondorali: "It seems that even if the Scorched Earth City branch is not independent, the headquarters must liquidate us?"
Frank asked in confusion: "How did the whereabouts of the elders of the headquarters come to light? "
Mondorali said with a sneer: "They are here to save Master Laem, but there must be at least one of them whose mission is not to save, but to kill."
Helot: You said what I said, what do you want me to say? I just asked...
"But why are people from the Holy Continent coming?"
Mondorali explained: "Scorched Earth City is the territory of Dorothea after all. The Sorrowful King has not yet decayed, and the undead lord crossed the border to provoke the Sorrowful King. With authority, he offered the heads of the elders of the Blue Society to the King of Sorrow. Not only would he not be rewarded, but he would also be punished.
But it is different for people in other planes. I heard that the land of death is coming. He has attracted many adventurers from other dimensions.”
Helot: “I think the branch director is right!”
Frank also agrees with Mondorali’s analysis: “Why don’t we save him. ?”
Mondorali replied: "It's not that we won't save, it's that we can't save. The people in the headquarters will think that they were betrayed by us, and the people in the Holy Continent will think that we are the ones who came to the door. If we go there, we will be attacked from both sides."< br>
Frank looked towards the direction of the battle, with an anxious look on his face.
Helot said on the side: "We will encounter more situations like this in the future, and even have to fight with people from the headquarters. It's not because we are enemies, it's because we have chosen different You must fight for the direction you insist on."
Frank understands the truth, but it is still difficult to make a decision.
He took one look and couldn't bear to look again. He turned his head and slowly drifted towards the library, as if he had lost his soul.
Mondorali looked at Frank who was leaving: "He needs some time."
Helot: "Everyone needs some time, will you continue to watch here?"
"No See, I need to find a new hiding place, then lock myself up and let my body and mind accept the changes."
"I will stop the vampires from coming if there is a defense hole inside the vampire castle. , Master Laem is in danger. Although I wanted to lift the restriction on him, I was rejected."
"Being imprisoned means being imprisoned. He wants to save Scorched Earth City in the end. The branch must convince the head office that he did not compromise with Dorotea. It was me who misinterpreted the message he sent. It was me who threatened you with Master Laem's life, forcing you to live in poverty. Lotia work
Let everyone in the Scorched Earth City branch think that all this is Master Laem's order.
When I die, you will all be deceived by me and you will all be innocent. "The more Mondorali spoke, the more regretful his tone became, and finally he turned and walked away.
His shoulders slumped, as if he was carrying a burden that was beyond his ability to bear.
A new road must be difficult and dangerous, and someone must bear the burden to make a smooth road
It seems that in Master Laem's plan... If it fails, Mondor will die; if it succeeds, he will die too!
For the blood shed by the branches and the head office, someone must bear all the sins.
"Broken, Lord Broken Bones." A timid voice came out from the shadows, so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Breshini stood in front of Herot with a sword: "Who is there?"
"I am Xuebian, the disciple of the branch president."
Mondorali's disciple?
Helot shouted: "Come out!"
"Yes, Lord Boneshatter." A ghost floated out from the ruins of the collapsed house.
At this time, a wave of attacks started in the direction of the battle, and bright lights shot into the sky.
The ghost was frightened and immediately got into a shadow, and then moved along the shadow towards Helot. The shadows of those houses swayed with the light, and the ghost also moved quickly to prevent itself from being exposed to the light. .
Helot looked on.
This ghost is very agile and reacts quickly, but why is it so timid?
Are you sure you are a disciple of Mondorali? That guy is an assassin who kills without blinking an eye. If I give you a chicken now, would you dare to kill it?
Because the place where Herot stood was an open space, the ghost moved to the edge of the shadow and stopped moving. It tried to use its body to test out, but in the end it shrank back.
This is the first time I have seen such a timid ghost.
Herot asked: "Mondorali has left. If you don't follow your teacher, what are you doing here?"
The ghost's next answer shocked Herot.
"The teacher asked me to follow you and protect you. He said that your strength is too weak, and he is worried that you will not survive until he gives you the branch of Scorched Earth City."
Get Meng Hailot thought it was acceptable for Dorali to have such a low evaluation. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was there. But this guy actually sent such a thing to protect me. Are you sure he's not humiliating me?
But Helot figured it out quickly.
It must have been that after Mondo Lali accepted this disciple, he realized that it was a rotten tree that cannot be carved out and regretted it.
This is not the material for an assassin!
I thought it was a drag, so I tried to get rid of it.
It’s just that you can’t dump it to anyone, why do you have to dump it to me?
You also said you would protect me!
Who protects whom?
Helot observed the trembling ghost hiding in the shadows. Whenever there was a big explosion in the direction of the battlefield, it trembled even more.
This is not an ordinary ghost. It has no obvious appearance, only a recognizable outline, which is a very scrawled humanoid form. The size is also half smaller than that of ordinary ghosts, and the sense of presence is very low...
The sense of presence!
If it had been in Mondolali's room just now, it would be normal for him not to notice it, but Bresini didn't notice it either.
Even Frank, who is also a ghost, did not notice it.
Mondorali’s disciples still have something!
