On the Seven Towers

"Whose descendants are you?" Rick looked at Adan with a look that penetrated his bones.

The atmosphere in the room was so dull that Adan didn't know when Emperor Rick woke up, how many of his "rebellious" remarks he had heard, and how much strength the other party had recovered. After weighing it several times, he still answered Rick. question.

"My grandfather's grandfather is Azul, and Aura is my sister." Adan said with lowered eyes.

"Ah, little Azul, when I left the Imperial Capital to fight against the Sea Tribe and the rebels, he was still a teenager. I didn't expect that he could escape from the Imperial Capital alive, grow up, and have descendants." Rick sighed. , "Then you are my direct descendants. As my descendants, do you really want to hold a sword against your ancestors and a saint?"

Under the pressure of the other party, Adan finally gave up the confrontation. He put the long sword on the ground, knelt down on one knee, and performed the courtesy of an audience with the emperor as a descendant of the royal family. When Aura saw her brother surrender, she also walked over tremblingly and did the same thing. Then he lowered his head and remained silent.

"Well, tell me, how did little Azul escape?" The emperor was still sitting on the bed, but everyone felt that the pressure around them began to lessen.

"It is said that the guards paid a heavy price and escaped through the secret passage before the city was breached. Shortly after they escaped from the city, the magicians from the Royal Mage Tower cooperated with the rebels besieging the city and opened the city gate. In the palace Most of the remaining people were killed. The guards finally escorted Azul to the border of the empire and hid in the mountains near the southern city-state. Later, my ancestors were there. There have been many places in the mountains, but we still make our home in that area, and the descendants of those loyal guards have always followed us. "

"The Royal Mage Tower actually betrayed? It seems that the rumors about the mysterious magicians in the rebels coming from the Royal Mage Tower are true. These shameless people, eating the tribute of the empire, treat me and my descendants like this. Emperor Rick thought gloomily for a while, then asked, "Then how did you know I'm here?"

"Your captain of the bodyguard, Baron Avaroa, finally found Azul and told them the news. However, he was attacked on the way, seriously injured, and died not long after."

"Oh, loyal Avaroa, he is the last person around me. After I asked him to bring the news out, I fell asleep."

"But at that time we were being hunted all the time and we really didn't dare to lead the rebels in this direction, so this secret was only spread among generations of clan leaders. By my grandfather's generation, the situation outside began to get better, and by my time Generation, we finally have the power to explore this ruins and wake you up.”

Adan then introduced some information about their camp.

————————————

At this time, Ji Yijun opened his mouth to speak to Luo Ling, but saw Luo Ling glance at Rick and then shake her head.

"He's bluffing. (He's bluffing.)" Ji Yijun suddenly said in English.

"What?" Luo Ling was stunned.

"Didn't you see? He is stalling for time. He can't even move a finger now. What's the difference between him and the patient who just woke up from the hospital bed? I think all he can do is release his spirit. It scared us." Ji Yijun continued to say in English.

"What do you want to do?" Luo Ling also asked in English.

"I think we have a chance to make a surprise attack, and I want to hit him with a pistol. If he can move, we will run away. If he can't, we will kill him."

"Calm down. Didn't you hear? What Adan said is not the truth."

"Ah, yes, their base is obviously in the north."

"Keep listening to them, and remember, no matter what Adan says for a while, you have to stay calm."

The conversation between the two of them attracted Emperor Rick's attention. He asked Adan: "What is the relationship between these people and you? Why do they speak in words we can't understand?"

"These people are mercenaries and mages who wandered over from the Western Continent. I can't believe the local magicians. They have all betrayed us, so we let them open the seal at the door." Adan said, "Look, they Some people’s hair color and eye color are completely different from ours, and they are used to speaking to each other in the dialect of the Western Continent.”

Emperor Rick nodded slightly and said: "Western Continent, that distant continent actually got in touch with us?"

"Just a hundred years ago, the people of the Sea Tribe discovered a route connecting the Eastern Continent, the Southern Islands and the Western Continent. Although these people of the Sea Tribe are despicable and shameless, they still have a certain skill in navigation."

"That's right. It seems that a lot of things happened while I was away." Emperor Kerry smiled, his old face full of wrinkles, "It feels really bad to be absent from these big events. But luckily I I’m back and my injuries have recovered a lot.”

"However, these are things far away, but what happened to the rebels later in the empire's territory is more important." Adan did not dare to say anything more about the story of the Western Continent, and quietly brought the topic back. .

As expected, Emperor Rick paid more attention to those who fought with him, making the people lying here more concerned. He looked a little angry and asked: "What happened to those shameless traitors?"

"You know, those rebels have three leaders."

"Of course I know, a knight Alan Dias, a berserker Melo Arias and a mysterious mage."

"That mage is actually Matthew Doria."

"It's actually him! At that time, Matthew Doria of the God Refining Tower and Sasso Lerena of the Sky-Splitting Tower were known as the twin jewels of the Royal Magic Tower. They were the two young people with the greatest hope of entering the Holy Realm. Empire. I have invested countless resources on these two people. I have even met with him several times, given him a lot of guidance, and supported him in many experiments and experiences. This is how he repaid me!"

"It is said that he met two other rebels in an ancient ruins when he was out training. They seemed to have received some inheritance and became very powerful. Finally, I saw your opportunity to fight against the Sea Tribe for the mainland. From you He was stabbed in the back. And Sasso didn't fare much better. You should know that he was a good friend of Matthew Doria, and he was the key person who persuaded the entire Royal Magic Tower to rebel! They have indeed become saints," Adan said, observing Rick's reaction secretly.

Rick's breathing became obviously heavier, his lips pursed, and he seemed really angry. He sat in silence for a while with a sullen face, and then said: "Tell me, what happened to the situation on the mainland later? What will be the end of these two treacherous guys?"

Some book friends reported that sometimes English words are wrong and cannot be read clearly. This is a problem with the starting point itself.

Anyway, we just set off the atmosphere.

Ji Yijun is talking about He's bluffing.
