Chapter ninety, profiteers(1/2)
The rushing Lancang River water rolled forward, and the splashing waves hit Carlis's face, extinguishing his passion.
Only after experiencing the back of the brink of death can we realize the value of life.
Originally, Carlis thought that as a devout believer, he could face life and death directly for his faith, but it turned out that he could not.
The mission has been screwed up. Not only has the Blood Moon Horn not been found, but it has also caused a huge mess.
Such a big thing is to intercept the king's special envoy. Now not only the Kingdom of Alpha wants his life, but even the Holy See cannot tolerate him.
So far, he didn't know how he was exposed. He was obviously very careful. After killing people and destroying all the clues, he immediately took people away.
In order to hide their identity, even the flying dragon mount was left dozens of miles away, and even the evidence of being absent was prepared. Theoretically, the Alpha Kingdom should not have doubted them.
Even the treatment of the wounded was carried out in a small country town two hundred miles away. Such a remote place is still a secret stronghold hidden by the Holy See, and the security should be high enough.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Kingdom of Alpha discovered something, when they came here, their group should have left long ago.
Unfortunately, just now, a noble coalition army came over the next day, and they didn't even give them the chance to defend themselves. Many soldiers were killed on the spot before they could get on the flying dragon.
Those who stayed on the ground died miserably, and those who went up to the sky did not escape. Although there were no dragon cavalry in the Kingdom of Alpha, it did not mean that they were helpless.
As soon as several flying monsters of the great nobles gathered together, the kingdom's griffin cavalry formed a team and started a pursuit of them.
Without any accidents, the dragon cavalry who entered the Kingdom of Alpha was directly destroyed.
Karlis was lucky enough to escape the disaster because of the rolling Lancang River. The flying dragon died in battle and fell into the river and flowed down the river, allowing him to escape the rounds of pursuit.
It was only now that he woke up from his coma after he calmed down. Callis, who calmed down, found himself doing a series of stupid things he thought he was smart.
Evidence is only needed by the weak. For real big shots, as long as they believe that you do it, it doesn’t matter whether there is evidence or not.
Earl of Frado went to the Southeast Province to deal with the Blood Moon Horn. An accident occurred halfway through, and the Holy See was the first suspect.
From the very beginning, people believed that they did it. When they looked for clues with this view, the evidence found naturally pointed to the Holy See.
Even if the flying dragon is dozens of miles away, even if the evidence of absent is arranged, all of these can be understood as reverse evidence.
No matter how remote and hidden it is, it is still someone else's territory. Maybe the stronghold he thought was secret was exposed to others' sight early.
Things have developed to this point, and it is no point to dig deeper into the cause.
The Holy See can no longer go back. If such a big thing happens, someone must be responsible for it.
The Kingdom of Alpha was even more unbearable. He killed the king's envoy, and a large number of nobles wanted to take credit for his head.
"Carlis, long time no see! I didn't expect you to meet again, you were so embarrassed."
A familiar and unfamiliar voice came, which scared Carllis. His intuition told him that he should know this masked man and that he was still very familiar with him, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
"Who are you? When did we meet? What's the purpose of finding me?"
After the masked man hesitated slightly after three questions from the soul, he burst into laughter.
"Carlis, do you really remember me?
In the training camp, I led you into the door. Thirty years ago, a wandering on the street…”
Before the masked man could finish his words, Carlis hurriedly denied.
"impossible!"
"You can't be him!"
"He is dead! In the battle to clear the heresy for the great Lord of Dawn - he died in battle!"
The tone was bitten very heavily, as if he believed that "he" had died in battle. It was just that he was confused and betrayed Carllis's true thoughts.
Thirty years ago, his family suffered a huge change. At the age of eight, he was forced to live a day of life. Until a night of storms and hunger and cold, a mysterious knight appeared and changed his destiny.
Following the mysterious knight, Carlis entered the Holy See's knight training camp and entered a new world.
However, the rules in the Holy See are very strict. As a newbie, quasi-knight, you can do nothing.
When Carllis was able to inquire about the mysterious knight who changed the fate of others' lives, he was told that the mysterious knight had died in battle.
All the specific information was sealed, even if Carllis became the commander of the Second Dragon Cavalry Regiment, he was not qualified to know.
"It seems that you have remembered something, but these old things are no longer important. The key is what should you do next?
The Holy See must not be able to go back. Those decaying borers are not good at doing things, but their ability to shirk responsibility is first-class.
Although you messed up this mission, it is not your turn to be the one responsible person. You really have to go deeper into it. The idiot who released the Blood Moon Horn is the culprit.
In a sense, you can actually be considered a contributor, at least you did not let the Blood Moon fall into the hands of the Kingdom of Alpha.
Compared with this exact result, it is nothing to lose a flying dragon cavalry. Even if the traces are exposed, it will only make the already bad relationship between the two sides get it from the audience.
But you must take the blame. Who has let them take root in the Holy See for generations? They are the real masters of the Holy See, and you are just foreign grass?
In fact, if someone had not been required to work hard, those guys would have wished to occupy all the positions in the Holy See so that they could enjoy the worship of believers for generations!”
The masked man's words are like a needle that penetrates the chest, and the needle pricks prick the atrium of Carlis.
The dark stories revealed are all facts, and even the real Holy See is ten times darker than this.
The Holy See clergy, who never married for life and claimed to have devoted everything to the Lord of Morning, actually developed the Holy See into a hereditary hard-core crop.
Carllis was not able to become the leader of the Second Cavalry regiment because of his superiors. Although he was outstanding, this was not a reason for promotion. The real reason for obtaining it was that someone needed to do dangerous work.
So he stayed in this position for ten years. During this period, he made countless contributions to the Holy See, but he still did not move forward.
For no other reason, the position of cannon fodder is enough, and you must be your own person when you go up.
"What's the use of saying this now? Everything about the Holy See has nothing to do with me. From now on, I'm a dead person to the Holy See.
No matter what, I still thank you for your kindness. If you hadn't picked me up, Karlis might have died on a rainy night thirty years ago.
I have made a profit if I can live for thirty years. No matter when I die, I will accept my fate.
There are still countless pursuers waiting for me now, so I can only remember your kindness first. If Carlis escapes this disaster by chance, he will find a way to repay your kindness in the future."
Although he said he accepted his fate, his strong desire to survive was expressed in his tone. But this time the matter was too big. It was too difficult to save his life in the face of a kingdom's pursuit.
"Ha ha……"
"Karlis, don't be so pessimistic. The Alpha Kingdom is going to hunt down only Karlis of the Second Dragon Cavalry Regiment of the Holy See, not all Karlis.
If you change your identity, you will find that the world will never be there. Just like that rainy night back then, if you hadn't asked for help, we might have missed it!"
The words of the masked man made Carlis jump. After countless years of social hardship, he was no longer the simple boy he used to be. He knew very well that there was no love and hate in this world for no reason.
No matter what, he killed an earl from the Alpha Kingdom and was carrying such a "crime". It was unsolvable to put it anywhere, and it was impossible to obtain pardon.
"Your Excellency, what do you want me to do?
Frankly speaking, Carlis really doesn't feel that he has any capital to let an Alpha kingdom let me go."
This is a fact. Although the golden knights are rare, they are the same for a kingdom.
Taking the Kingdom of Alpha as an example, there are dozens of golden knights on the light side, and it is impossible to recruit him as his enemy for all his fighting power.
"Carlis, your holy vision is limited by the Holy See and you need to broaden your horizons.
For big men, as long as the benefits are large enough, hatred is nothing.
Besides, you and them do not have unforgettable hatred, and this account is mainly recorded on the Holy See.
The dead envoy of the king seemed to be glamorous on the outside, but he was not a real big man. His glory came from Caesar III. But now he is dead, and dead people are worthless.
Your existence now only makes them look bad in appearance, but as long as what you do next is beneficial to them, they can put aside the previous things first.
At least they can ignore it until you lose your value.
Come on, put on this mask and say goodbye to your past life. Next, we will fight for the Lord of Dawn for the rest of our lives only, and no one can stop our Lord's glory from spreading to every corner of the world!"
After hearing the intriguing words of the masked man, Carlis was confused and kept asking questions about his own soul in his mind.
Fighting for the Lord of Dawn is the exclusive slogan of the Holy See. Although other forces occasionally shout, it is just an active atmosphere and no one will take it seriously.
But the mysterious masked man in front of him was serious. Carlis had only seen this soul recognition from the depths of his heart in a very small number of monks.
A knight with such a firm belief appeared here in this way and also had a strong resentment towards the Holy See. Carlis suddenly realized that he could not understand the world at all.
Despite his doubts, he still took over the mask as he was dispelled by his desire to survive.
Without any magical fluctuations, it is just an ordinary mask.
Without hesitation, under the eager gaze of the masked man, Carlis put the mask on his face, but his inner doubts became even more.
...
The ups and downs of the outside world did not affect Texas. Everyone's life was the same. Those who were short of food were short of food, those who were complained, and those who were watching the fun continued to eat melons.
Perhaps it was because he had no food in his hands and was insecure, or perhaps he didn't want to help his competitors raise people, after reaching the agreement, Kate immediately urged the deal.
Given the complex situation in the county, neither Hudson nor Kate wanted to be the first to come, the deal became particularly weird.
The Maple Leaf Leader kept getting lost, and Kate was so angry that he came to the Baron to curse every day, and even organized a patrol escort, which was not the case.
The mountain tribe was in trouble, and countless big rats flocked to the ground and swallowed a lot of food, which made Baron Hudson so angry that he rode the earth bear to roar in the mountains and forests.
This strange situation continued until the Maple Leaf led to half of the population, and the two places became peaceful.
The truth is not important. Anyway, the two lords explained it to the outside world. The transaction does not exist. Unless evidence can be found, talking nonsense will cost you.
To be continued...
