Magus Tech Chapter 28: Betrayal and…death

The long sword was pulled out little by little without making a sound, one centimeter, two centimeters... ten centimeters.

Suddenly, the drawn long sword was withdrawn suddenly.

After packing up the things on the bookshelf, Li Cha turned around and looked at Edward.

Edward showed a puzzled expression.

Li Cha didn't speak, but just looked at it meaningfully.

Edward couldn't hold back anymore, and said slowly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you... What are you?"

"You know what, Edward?" Richard asked.

"What?"

"In my eyes, you are a typical medieval nobleman."

"Ah?" Edward was stunned for a while, then he lowered his head and said, "No, I... I'm just His Royal Highness's loyal captain of the guard."

"Whatever you say, but no matter what your status is, you will always put your own family's interests first."

"I..." Edward hesitated to speak.

Li Cha waved his hand and said: "There is nothing wrong with this. Only with the existence of a nobleman like you, who constantly struggles, works hard, and even sacrifices for a family, can a family successfully rise. Hmm... this is a kind of It can be called a great feeling, but...the problem is, you are not smart enough."

"This..." Edward opened and closed his lips, his expression slightly flustered.

"More than a month ago, you asked for a hypothesis to return to the family, and I agreed. But I know that you did not leave the palace, but lost William's palace."

"I..." Edward's eyelids twitched suddenly, really panicking.

"During William's dinner, you agreed to William's request - find a chance to kill me, and William also promised you to ensure that your family's interests will not be lost." Li Cha asked, "No matter how you look at it, It's all a win-win deal, but the question is, do you think William will keep his word, especially after you actually kill me?"

"This..."

"What do you think, why are the crown princes fighting and nobles big and small standing in line? It's because they all know that the winners can share the flesh and blood of the losers and strengthen themselves. Your family is always on my side, When you kill me, you will be charged with treason again. Do you think William will choose to help your family from attack with all his strength, or give your family a gentle push and push your family into the group standing behind him? At the dinner table of the greedy nobles?

Taking a step back, William really kept his promise and vowed to protect your family to the death. But do you think that a new king can really do whatever he wants, can he really do whatever he wants? He really has only a few hundred soldiers in his hands, and the number of private soldiers of nobles and nobles in the entire Blue Lion City is dozens of times this number. When those greedy nobles are about to enjoy the fruits of victory, can he stop it? "

Edward was completely flustered, his hands were shaking: "Your Highness...I...was wrong, I...I shouldn't have listened to William's words, I shouldn't have tried to attack you, I..."

"You are indeed wrong." Li Cha shook his head, "But it's not because you killed me, but because your family was on the wrong team from the very beginning, so no matter how hard you try, it won't change. .Strategic mistakes cannot be made up for by tactical efforts. Since your family chose to support me as the crown prince and sent you to me as the captain of the personal guard, it has already decided the current fate.

Of course, there is some responsibility on my part. But I can only say sorry. After all, things like vision and wisdom are really hard to come by.

Well, I'm leaving, of course not going to the territory, I never thought about the territory from the very beginning. I will leave the Blue Lion City, leave the Blue Lion Kingdom, and then go to see what is going on in this world, research and figure out the principles. As for you and your family, work hard...struggle, maybe there will be a glimmer of life. "

After Li Cha finished speaking, he picked up the heavy suitcase and walked out without any effort.

Edward stood absent-mindedly in the bedroom, his body getting shorter and shorter, and finally sat down on the ground, covering his face with his hands, shaking all over his body.

Suddenly, Edward raised his head again, with a desperate and crazy expression in his eyes, and said to himself: "What if what William said is true, what if..."

With a "swipe", the long sword was pulled out, and Edward stood up and was about to go out.

But suddenly, back again.

With a "squeak", the bedroom door opened, and Li Cha, who had left, returned.

With a sound of "boom", Li Cha put the heavy wooden box on the ground, looked at Edward and said slowly: "Well, I thought I would leave calmly. But when I walked downstairs, I still found that, I still can't let go of one thing, and that is...betrayal."

Edward's eyes shrank suddenly, and the next moment he seemed to be stimulated, he roared: "I don't want to! But my whole family has put their fate on you, what can I do?

How many times have I persuaded you, but when have you ever listened to me? ! Do you always study weird things and wizards, except for the torture you experienced three years ago, have you gained anything? !

Even if I don't kill you, so what, can you really leave? ! what! "

Li Cha smiled, a dangerous smile.

"I'm really sorry, my dear Captain of the Guard - Lord Edward! Sometimes, the reality is so cruel, if you make a wrong step, then nothing can be redeemed. I hope you and your family have a next time If you have the opportunity, you must not choose me again. Because... I am not on my side."

While talking, Li Cha stepped up quickly, opening and closing his lips quickly, as if he was meditating. Edward looked at the unarmed Li Cha, breathing heavily, and the next moment he gritted his teeth and was about to chop off with his sword, "It's all your fault, you forced me!"

But then, Edward saw Li Cha's hand waved towards him, and a strong air current appeared ~IndoMTL.com~ like a sudden gust of wind in the room, and slammed into him. Even though he was wearing iron armor, he couldn't help but staggered backwards under the powerful force, almost falling down.

Spell · Wind Knockback!

This!

Edward was surprised, but Li Cha approached again, his lips still opening and closing rapidly.

Edward grasped the long sword with all his strength, and was about to stab Li Cha's lower abdomen, but then his eyes widened, and he felt the long sword passing through the air, as if entering a mass of extremely viscous liquid. Li Cha was right in front of him, but he couldn't stab it no matter how hard he tried, and it was extremely difficult to even pull out the long sword - the weapon was stuck by some mysterious force.

Spell Wind Barrier!

This!

Edward's world view was a bit broken, but Li Cha had already reached his side, pressed his shoulders slightly with both hands, and then clamped his head.

"You know, Edward, the reason why I don't want to fight for the crown prince is because I really have important things to do. And this thing is also very interesting, just like what you can see now. That's why I say sorry to you, not regret - I chose my own way and will never regret it. Hope, you can too."

"I..."

"Goodbye, my captain of the bodyguard—Lord Edward."

"Crack!" Edward felt an irresistible force in his neck, and his entire head suddenly turned 180° and twisted to the back.

Spell Brute Force of Wind!

"Is this what my back looks like?" Edward thought, and then his vision quickly went dark, and he fell to the ground with a "plop", completely out of breath.

Looking at Edward's body, Li Cha's eyes flickered, then he let out a breath, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
