Bolt escaped and did not dare to take the main road or stay in Kasha City, because the person who assassinated him was Kunt, the chief of guard of the lord of Kasha City. Although the reason is not yet known, this place is no longer suitable for him. Safety.
As an old mercenary who has survived to this day, Bolt has a very good ability to escape.
He simply treated the wounds, disguised himself, and then fled out of the city and hid in a secret cave. He needed some time to recover from his physical injuries.
When he rested against the wall of the crypt, a tug came to his mind, and he came to the boundless sea again.
At this time, Quint was being interrogated by a group of people.
Quint remained silent. When he first came to the sea, he thought he had fallen into some strange ritual of Bolt.
He firmly believed that with Bolt's strength, even because of the special nature of the ceremony, it would only affect him for a moment.
But as time went by, he discovered a lot of doubts.
He could not escape the influence of this strange ritual.
Moreover, whether it is nightmares, illusions, or any other rituals he knows, they are different from the current situation.
Until he heard the information revealed by the people around him clearly, his heart began to feel uneasy.
Unknown... This is the palace where unknown beings live.
sky.
But as a determined captain of the guard, Quint can continue to remain silent.
This has something to do with the fact that the people who held him down interrogated him but did not torture him.
Why? Because everyone felt that the person who was summoned by that Excellency was the favored person of that Excellency, they were still a little worried and did not dare to take heavy action.
Shen Yan said from the side: "Look, he doesn't even have his own boat. I don't think he is the one favored by His Majesty the Great."
Mercenaries, use your methods to interrogate him.
Only then did everyone realize that this man was indeed something special. Everyone stood on their own boats. Even if they jumped into the sea, the boats would be waiting beside them, but this man did not.
Everyone hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to make a fatal move. After all, they could not judge whether it was the favored one of Your Excellency by whether there was a boat or not.
Shen Yan sighed in his heart. The man remained silent and could not get any news, so he had to wait until Bolt had treated the wound and was safe before pulling him in again.
As soon as Bolt arrived, it was convenient, and everyone started asking directly about this hero who accidentally exposed Abraham's conspiracy.
Bolt glanced at the suppressed Quint and said, "His name is Quint, the captain of the bodyguard of the Lord of Kasha City."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. If they remembered correctly, Bolt said last time that he was temporarily living in Kasha City, and he went to Kasha City immediately after discovering the undead.
In other words, Kasha City, which is very close to the cursed land, should be very grateful to this old mercenary. With this news, at least Kasha City can prepare for the undead attack in advance.
"But why would the captain of the bodyguard of the lord of Kasha City assassinate you?"
Bolt shook his head and looked at Quint: "I also want to know, don't you think so, Lord Guard Quint?"
"I am not from Kasha City. I also met Captain Quint once at the last banquet. We should communicate with each other.
There shouldn't be any grudges. "
Bolt begins to describe his relationship with Quint and how he was assassinated.
There was no grievance or enmity, but he was assassinated despite not knowing him before. This person was also the captain of the city lord’s bodyguard. To say the least, through the report of “World Peace”, Bolt had been assassinated by people in many cities. Know his "accomplishments"
.
By assassinating him at this time, wouldn't he be afraid of being suspected of colluding with Abraham? Because only the gang whose conspiracy is exposed can become angry and kill.
Bolt: "Captain Quint, don't you have anything to say?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Quint. At first, no one knew his identity, but now that his identity was revealed, things became complicated.
The captain of the guard used the city lord's order to invite, but carried out an assassination halfway?
Quint still said nothing.
He has seen too many interrogations and tortures. Even if the current situation is weird beyond imagination, he can at least remain silent.
Shen Yan thought for a while. If he used an unknown identity high on the mountain to threaten him, he might be able to ask something, but this was not appropriate.
Because no matter what Quint is doing, it is just the thought of an ant. An indescribable unknown cannot have the motivation to understand what the ant is thinking about every day.
Shen Yan sighed inwardly and continued to watch the interrogation, but the result was the same, nothing was found.
It’s not necessarily true that nothing was gained.
Darkmoon Archbishop Geras looked at the silent Quint and said: "The captain of the guard is the sword in the hands of the city lord and the executor of the city lord's will."
"If you didn't assassinate him privately, then... you were under the orders of the city lord."
"You are not pretending to be the city lord's order, but you are executing his will."
Quint's eyes glanced at Geras, and then he continued to remain silent with a mocking look on his lips.
Everyone: "..."
At least there are expressions, but this speculation...
Geras said: "The darkness of human nature is more complicated than imagined. Don't forget what happened in Kakul City."
In the city of Kakul, the whole city took refuge with Abraham and voluntarily became Abraham's minions and a member of the dark creatures.
hiss!
This guess made everyone take a breath of cold air.
Death is a blessing that this world gives to human beings. Only the unfortunate will be bound to this world forever and full of sorrow.
Although this result is unbelievable for Kakul City to betray humans and become a member of the dark creatures, it is a fact.
The city of Kakul will choose to surrender to Abraham, but what about the city of Kasha? What about other cities?
How else to explain the behavior of the captain of the guard of Kasha City assassinating a man who was supposed to be their hero?
The matter was so important that Shen Yan couldn't help but look at Charles Wilder, the publisher of "World Peace News" in Kasha City.
The Wilder family is the manager of Kasha City.
Charles was also so surprised by this guess that his pupils dilated: "I am just a very distant branch of the Wilder family. If it weren't for the recent publication of "World Peace", the city lord would never have summoned me."
In other words, if the Wilder family really had any major secret plans, it would be impossible for him to be informed of them.
After finishing speaking, Charles added: "But in the past few days, every time the city lord summons me, he always asks me about it intentionally or unintentionally.
"World Peace News" can report the truth of news from all over the world in real time. "
He didn't take it seriously at first, because there were many people who wanted to know why "World Peace News" was so magical.
But now, the city lord's concern may have another purpose.
Ciel's answer didn't know whether to make people feel relieved or more worried.
Shen Yan thought for a while and asked, "I would like to ask, do the people in Kasha City live a happy life?"
It was a very abrupt question, but Shen Yan was one of the people who knew Abraham best.
Abraham is the hope of all the desperate people in this world. Only the desperate will give up everything, even giving up their identity as a human being and turning into a dead spirit to seek refuge with Abraham.
Charles: "..."
>
"The Cursed Land is a devil's land. If it is not impossible to survive, no city will choose to build a city nearby."
"Our Kasha City is a small city, and our ancestors are called outcasts..."
The origin of the city of Kasha is a city built by a group of exiles after defeat during the Mauryan Dynasty.
There is no right or wrong for the exiles, but because they were defeated and not tolerated by the victors, they had to leave their homes and continue to survive in the desolate land beyond their reach.
"The most popular people in the city are gamblers, prostitutes, prostitutes..."
"Carrion, manure, and urine are everywhere in the city."
"The cities around the Cursed Land are almost like this."
Where is the happiness to speak of?
Shen Yan: "..."
It turns out that the most impoverished and disorderly place in this world is not just the mercenary city.
The reason why Mercenary City is said to be the poorest and most chaotic city is because a small city like Kasha City is too small and nestled in such a special place on the edge of the cursed land. It is not included in human statistics and discussions. Within the scope, he is not even qualified to be mentioned.
Shen Yan sighed in his heart, desperate!
Perhaps Geras's speculation is very possible.
The captain of the guard of Kasha City may really represent the will of the city lord, assassinating the old mercenary Bolt who exposed Abraham's conspiracy.
Bolt's choice to abscond from Kasha City was a very wise choice. Otherwise, once it was discovered that Quint's assassination failed, Bolt would even face an open interception.
Xia Er seemed to understand the reason for Shen Yan's question. He opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
Shen Yan thought in his heart that maybe Kasha City had a reason to seek refuge with Abraham, but judging from Charles's expression, there were also many unaware people.
These uninformed people have no choice at all. They will be sacrificed directly to Abraham by their city lord, and they will say goodbye to their human identity and live as undead, whether they want it or not.
It's the equivalent of forced conscription.
Shen Yan said: "Once the news of Bolt's failed assassination reaches the city lord, perhaps Kasha City's surrender will be advanced."
Shen Yan looked at Bolt, and Bolt's expression also changed: "When I left the city, I didn't hit Quint with a last blow, nor did I hide him. In other words, it is very likely that the city lord's people have already Quint’s body was found in an alley.”
In other words, in order to prevent uproar and the escape of the people in the city who are unwilling to become undead, Kasha City... will complete its surrender to Abraham as soon as possible.
There was a lively discussion.
no matter what the result is,
They are all over the world,
Although I can communicate, I can't directly help.
Shen Yan said: "Perhaps this issue of World Peace News will have to be published earlier."
Shen Yan is also far away in Corpse Face Swamp and can't help much. What he can do is let those who are unwilling to transform into undead have their own choices.
This meeting in Damon's Sea ended, and everyone's boats were sent back to their original point, leaving only Quint, the captain of the guard, wandering in the sea.
There is no sound in the boundless sea, only the flying stars in the sky flashing from time to time.
Shen Yan's boat rowed next to Quint, who was swimming in the sea.
"There is no point in you continuing to remain silent or answering."
"You also heard the discussion just now."
"But... I still want to ask you, has Kasha City really decided to be loyal to Abraham?"
Quint's expression was also very complicated. He did not answer directly, but said: "It turns out that the so-called network, the secret of World Peace's ability to publish simultaneously across time and geography is this."
"It's really...beyond anyone's imagination."
"An unknown person is actually interfering with the operation of this world."
"These people seem to have forgotten what the unknown represents and that it will bring destruction and disaster to the world."
After muttering, he looked at Shen Yan: "What choice do we have?"
"Even the most benevolent Holy See does not look at us and treats us as the lowest existence."
"You, you... have never been to Kasha City, how can you understand the dirty life we live."
"This world needs to change, even if it becomes undead and no longer human."
"Even newborn babies are predicting what we should do, right? This news was reported by your World Peace Newspaper."
At the end of the sentence, Quint's eyes were a little red.
Shen Yan: "..."
Shen Yan left Damon's Sea, but did not let go of Quint, at least until the matter was over.
Shen Yan tried to enter and exit Damon's Gate. Even if he left, Quint's soul was still trapped on the sea, like a tiny duckweed, enduring loneliness and floating.
As Shen Yan understood before, only the immortals have the power to take charge here, and even Dudu is not a complete immortal in this world.
The city of Kasha is brightly lit.
Quint's body was found and his vitality was normal, but no matter what methods they used, they could not revive Quint.
There was silence in the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion. There were only two people, City Lord Maian Wilder, and a figure shrouded in darkness.
"Bolt escaped."
"On his own, it would be impossible for him to escape from Quint and turn Quint into what he is now."
"Bolt is not an ordinary mercenary now. His name is circulated in various cities. Once he publicizes the assassination of him by Quint, it will affect the plans of Kasha City."
The figure in the darkness made a hoarse voice: "Begin and show your loyalty to my lord Abraham."
That night, the gates of Kasha City were closed tightly, and the flames ignited the entire city. Until dawn, charred skeletons walked out of the city.
On the hillside outside the city of Kasha filled with thick smoke, streams of blood flowed from Bolt's burned arm. This was the result of using a large number of evil weapons.
He held Ciel in his other arm, the only one he could save from the city of betrayers while taking advantage of the chaos.
Charles' eyes were full of sadness. He had people print newspapers and magazines overnight last night. He originally only waited for daybreak to sell them, but it was still too late.
No more. The city where he had lived since childhood, even though it was full of unpleasant smells and filth, was now completely lost in the flames.
Even the people I once liked and didn't like have turned into charred skeletons and thrown themselves into the embrace of darkness.
Daybreak.
Because Shen Yan was concerned about the situation in Kasha City, he entered the Sea of Damon again and summoned everyone.
Quint's soul has disappeared above the sea, and because of the death of his body, his soul has also disappeared.
The scene was silent, Shen Yan said: "..."
"The truth about Kasha City in this printed issue of World Peace News."
"Print another piece of paper and stick it on it to explain."
Every city.
The newsboys on the street were still shouting loudly, but people who bought newspapers found that today's newspapers were a little different from the past ones, and there was a note on them.
It's like there was something that didn't have time to be published and was hastily added afterwards. !
