Chapter 400 Darkness of Darkness
"Winnie, why have you been feeling restless these days? Are you still worried about my affairs?"
After taking the diluted and adjusted life essence potion, Herbert's physical injury suddenly improved significantly. He could get out of bed like a normal person the next day. Of course, if he wanted to recover to the best physical condition, it would probably take at least one week to recuperate.7⊙x.c
Before organizing the new task instructions, Herbert had a rare leisure time, which was originally a happy thing, but in the face of the uncertain task of life and death soon and Winnie's worried appearance all day long, Herbert's mood can be imagined.
On this day, looking at Winnie, who was carrying a kettle in the garden, was absent-mindedly watering the flowers, Herbert decided to relieve her and comfort her.
However, Herbert misunderstood Winnie's thoughts. In fact, what Winnie is most worried about these days is not his business, but Xia Lan did not come to find her as agreed time.
Based on her understanding of Xia Lan, he has always kept his promises very much, and he can basically comply with and complete what he said and what he promised.
But what exactly made him repent? Could it be that something unexpected happened to him?
She wanted to tell him that the plan to subvert Fang's upcoming action is now ready to be done, she wanted to tell him that Herbert was unfortunately forced to participate, and she wanted to tell him that he must not hurt Herbert's life in the conflict, but Xia Lan did not show up, and her words were nowhere to be said.
"Herbert, is your physical injury OK?"
Faced with her fiancé's concern, Winnie hid her distress well, and said with a hint of worry on her face.
"Don't worry. My body is nothing serious." Herbert said softly and gently, holding her from behind Winnie.
"I have made a lot of potions these days. I hope it will come in handy for you then." Winnie whispered in the arms of Herbert's chest.
"You haven't reported to the Alchemy Association for a long time. Couldn't Mentor Connord say anything?" Herbert said.
"A few days ago, I sent someone to inform my supervisor that he was busy with an experimental study and he might not have much time to go to the Alchemy Association. The supervisor understood this very well, so he didn't care too much," explained Winnie.
"Winnie, don't relax your favorite drug research because I'm going to do it. After all, this is your lifelong pursuit." Herbert sighed.
"As long as you can stay with me alive, I would rather give up my pursuit." Winnie said.
"Stop talking stupid things." Herbert gently stroked Winnie's head and said, "I will definitely not die."
"I'm sorry for disturbing your warmth."
At this time, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the garden mysteriously.
"Yalman! Why are you here? Could it be..."
Herbert looked at the man wearing a black cloak not far away. His eyes were full of astonishment, and his arms, holding Winnie, unconsciously tightened.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right. The Lord has issued the order to assemble, so follow me." The man named Yarman nodded expressionlessly.
Herbert's face showed a bitterness and nodded, "Yalman, can you give me some time?"
"Don't delay too long, I'll wait for you outside."
Yarman turned around and left knowingly.
"Winnie, I'm leaving."
When Yarman disappeared from sight, Herbert hugged Winnie and said nostalgic.
Winnie had known that there would be such a day, even if she was prepared, but she could not suppress the sadness of parting. She broke out from Herbert's arms, held the hem of her skirt and ran towards the house. Herbert stood there motionless, just quietly watching her leaving back.
After a long time, Winnie reappeared in front of him with a small suitcase in her hand panting. It turned out that she was going to get the potion she made for him.
"Herbert, don't forget our promise, you must come back alive."
Winnie handed the small suitcase in her hand to the other party, and her eyes were sobbing red.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Herbert solemnly carried the small suitcase in his hand, trying to keep a peaceful smile on his face.
After Winnie put her hands on his shoulders, raised her head and kissed Herbert deeply, she finally looked at Herbert and gradually disappeared into the garden with one step or three turns.
When Winnie turned around and was about to return to the room, she saw a familiar man leaning on the stone pillars in the corridor looking up at the clear blue sky.
"His Excellency Xia Lan!"
Winnie looked at the person in front of her incredible way, and walked towards the other person in a daze.
"I'm very strange if I'm here?" Xia Lan turned her head and looked at her.
"Have you encountered anything these days? Why didn't you come at the agreed time?" Winnie asked hurriedly.
"Something happened," Xia Lan nodded and said, "Because I no longer need the information you give me."
"What's going on?" Winnie said in shock.
"Because, I have taken the initiative to put myself out of the matter." Xia Lan said calmly.
"What does it mean?" Winnie said in confusion.
"Do you know why he left?" Xia Lan did not answer, but glanced at the direction where Herbert left.
"Follow the assembly orders above the organization." Winnie said.
"Then do you know why the subvert Fangs have to issue an assembly order?" Xia Lan asked again.
Winnie shook her head.
"Because, the relics are ready to be unearthed." Xia Lan raised her head again and looked at the sky with a calm face.
"The relics are unearthed! But why are you..." Winnie stared at her eyes wide and said in a daze.
"Do you wonder why I didn't go to the site where the relics were unearthed? It's very simple, because there is no longer a place where a small character like me can get involved." Xia Lan shook her head and said.
"With your strength..." Winnie said in disbelief. Suddenly, she suddenly thought of Herbert's safety. Even a powerful man like Xia Lan did not go to the place where the relics were unearthed. It can be seen how dangerous the situation there would be!
"I have reported to the Holy Holy Temple of Light. Soon, it will completely become a battlefield that subverts the two forces of Fang and the Holy Temple of Light." Xia Lan said calmly.
"Why do you do this?!" Winnie said in shock.
"Since the plan to seize the remains myself failed, I can only rely on other forces to help me regain the relics. I have heard of the story of the snipe and clam fighting and the fisherman gaining profits? I think you won't know." Xia Lan said as if she was talking to herself.
"That Herbert..." Winnie thought of her first thought of her fiancé's safety in this big change.
"If there is more luck, maybe he can survive, but I am sure that the person who subverts Fang this time will lose at least 70% of his members." Xia Lan said.
"No! I must stop him!"
When Winnie heard this, she immediately ran into the house anxiously, as if she was about to go directly to the site of the relics.
Xia Lan looked at her passing by her coldly, and suddenly waved her to knock her out!
These days, except for the secrets, I have been telling Christopher that he had overturned Fangs in Port Louis, and he has been observing the changes in Port Louis like an outsider. It is indeed extremely difficult for ordinary people to see Christopher, but what if there is a warrant from Sir Holebas? And he used the warrant from Sir Holebas to him to make people see Christopher.
He did not show up, but spent some money to find a brave mercenary to send a letter to Christopher. In the letter, he had already made it clear that Fang's intention to subvert Fang's in Port Louis, especially exaggerating what consequences would be caused after the relics were unearthed.
He believed that Christopher would never turn a blind eye to this letter, because he would never dare to bet on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Port Louis!
Finally, he left a meaningful sentence in the letter.
The child he abandoned back then did not die.
Although it is concise, anyone can smell the strong threat scent revealed.
Not everyone can do this to threaten a strong ruler!
But Xia Lan is already crazy, and he no longer cares about any consequences!
Relics! Relics!
He only has the remains!
He also did not follow the agreement to go to the Governor's Office to meet Sir Holebas, but he sensed a heart-pounding breath in the Governor's Office one day.
This is the aura that only those who are strong in the law will have!
Unexpectedly, Sir Holebas was able to invite such a helping hand, which was indeed beyond Xia Lan's expectations, but it didn't matter. He would not participate in the head-on conflict facing the subversion of Fangs anyway.
His new plan is very simple. When the relics are unearthed, it will inevitably cause a war between the three forces. If Sir Holebas and the Templar Temple obtain the relics, will they sit and watch the relics be taken away by subverting the Fangs? Impossible! The original history has told him everything! Don’t think that Christopher and the law strongman invited by Holebas can crush the law strongly, because is there no law strongman in the law strongman in the subverting the Fangs? Even if the subverting the Fangs fail, he can still get the relics by threatening Christopher.
If the Fangs are subverted to obtain the relics, they will immediately transfer the relics and leave immediately. At that time, they will inevitably leave a large amount of combat power to stop the pursuit of the Light Temple. At this time, his opportunity to compete for the relics is here!
As for why he appeared in Lawlands' mansion and finally knocked Winnie out.
The reason is simple. If he accidentally loses in the process of fighting for the relics with Subvert Fang, then Winnie will serve as his hostage to threaten Herbert to help him obtain the relics!
Despicable?
Since subverting Fangs can kidnap Adelina, don't blame him for using the same method to deal with their people!
After taking out a sack from the virtual ring and putting Winnie in, Xia Lan looked at the direction of Baifan District.
At this moment.
