The Godsfall Chronicles Chapter 39: Buying people’s hearts

Governor Residence, back garden.

Master Arcturus faced the young man in front of him. Although he hadn’t seen any scenes when he was born in humble, he seemed a bit clumsy everywhere, but he was still facing someone who could kill him at any time and wanted to kill him before today. It's really not easy to be neither humble nor overbearing.

"To be honest, I really admire you. You did a good job yesterday." Master Arcturus stood with his hand, gentle and calm, clear and elegant, his voice did not fluctuate at all, and he remained at the same level from beginning to end. "I know the character of Selene. She is more proud than Frost de Winter in her bones, and she has always had a good vision. People who can be seen and trusted by her will not be the general generation."

Cloudhawk said coldly: "So you want to kill me?"

"Yes, killing someone like you is indeed the best choice." Master Arcturus was very calm and didn't feel anything murderous aura: "Because the Selene matter is too involved, in order to ensure the stability of Skycloud City, I I have to do this. The pressure and responsibility on a Governor is something that ordinary people cannot feel. Even in normal times, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make some trade-offs, even some things that go against our intentions, right?"

Cloudhawk raised his brow slightly: "The big picture? What big picture."

"I haven't figured it out yet? Selene went to Wilderness alone to kill the demons. Without a person to follow and help her, the whole thing doesn't feel very strange?"

Cloudhawk has long been confused about this matter.

Selene Cloude was born in such a noble family and so powerful, almost in control of the vast majority of demonhunter strength in Sky Cloud Elysian Realm, how could they not give Selene Cloude a little help and watch Selene Cloude almost die? To deal with that kind of powerful character, adding ten and twenty demonhunters is not an exaggeration.

Cloudhawk is somewhat interested: "Why?"

"This is a long story, because it is related to the reputation of the family. It shouldn't have been revealed. But now, it doesn't matter if I tell you." When the Arcturus master said here, Gujing Wubo looked first. "My younger brother Juechen, who has been extremely talented since he was young, has served as the president of the demonhunter guild, and the civilian demonhunter who has mastered the entire demonhunter guild. He has a transcendent position in Skycloud City. He was originally a man with boundless future. A genius and brilliant daughter, but unfortunately in the later period...he went astray."

Cloudhawk did not understand.

Bauldr Cloude is also a famous Master Demonhunter, how could he go astray?

"You’re right. Juechen is privately related to Demon Race, and even has something to do with the Sky Cloud Elysian Realm massacre. Temple has conclusive evidence. When I wanted to investigate him, Juechen seemed to have noticed and left alone. Sky Cloud Elysian Realm, at that time, there were various signs that I took refuge in Demon Race."

Cloudhawk was taken aback.

A Master Demonhunter colluded with Demon Race and had an incident, and finally fled Elysian Realm and took refuge in Demon Race? If this kind of thing is true, Skycloud City should have spread.

"As for what happened later, it has now become an unsolved puzzle. Maybe he knew too much, which made Demon Race think it was a scourge, or he had other disputes with Demon Race. We only know that in the end he Fighting against Demon Race and being killed, this is the cause of the matter."

Cloudhawk finds it ridiculous.

Wilderness edited by Arcturus is too clumsy.

So the real traitor is the father of Selene? !

Master Arcturus continued to say, "Juechen is my own brother, the pride of Cloude Family, and even a well-known Master Demonhunter. If his collusion with Demon Race spreads, it will cause sensation and consequences. It will be devastating. To maintain the stability of Skycloud City, our external news is that Juechen fell into a trap after Demon Race and was killed."

Cloudhawk is a little unbelievable.

Master Arcturus looked at him: "Please carefully recall some details of your contact with Selene."

Cloudhawk frowned.

He still remembered that every time Selene thought of her father's death, she was not only full of hatred, but also full of great shame. If a demonhunter is really killed in the process of killing demons, there is nothing to be ashamed of. On the contrary, it is the highest honor that warrior deserves. Why is Selene so grief-stricken, even violating the Skycloud Code and even the demonhunter Code, or even giving up How about taking revenge on your own brilliant future?

At the time, Cloudhawk didn't care much. If you think about it, it must be the reason.

This kind of thing is stable, ordinary civilians may not know it, but Selene cannot be unaware, but she does not believe that her father will betray, and she is unwilling to bear the shame, so she is determined to go to Wilderness to investigate and kill by the way. The father’s demons were killed, and the results were announced in Elysian Realm.

The problem now is that the Elysian Realm executives may have conclusive evidence of the collusion between Juechen and Demon Race. This is a certain thing, and it is impossible for Selene to whitewash his father.

So she must never let her bring any news back!

Otherwise it will only make things worse!

Skycloud City has not even announced that Selene violated the demonhunter rules and went to Wilderness, so until now, most Skycloud City people thought that Selene was just practicing in retreat or participating in to gain experience somewhere.

The return of Cloudhawk is undoubtedly full of instability, in order to prevent some bad news from leaking, so kill it! There seems to be some truth to this explanation, but I always feel something is wrong.

"I can see that you are really smart and talented. What you lack is experience, tempering and proper guidance." Master Arcturus showed sincere expression: "Would you like to come to work under me? Skye Polaris If I can give it to you, I can give you Arcturus Cloude, and even more. I am willing to train you with all my strength and make you the best demonhunter in this city."

At this moment, I have to say that Cloudhawk is excited.

Can he not feel his heartbeat?

This elder with a peaceful and wise face standing in front of him is the first demonhunter recognized by Sky Cloud Elysian Realm. He cultivated such a young talent as Frost de Winter. Cloudhawk is also a person, he also desires to have strength, and he also desires to acquire abilities!

However, several people flashed in Cloudhawk's mind, Squall, Selene Cloude, and Lao Jing.

Is this elder who can give people a sense of intimacy and trust, is he really trustworthy?

Cloudhawk is a person who grew up in Wilderness. He has not experienced any intrigue, but he has seen too many naked ugliness and inferiority of human nature.

All appearances cannot be trusted.

Squall ended so miserably. Although it was not the Arcturus master who did it, he also had to pay the main responsibility. In this way, he could kill a group of devout disciples without blinking his eyes. Cloudhawk could never do it.

"I'm tired of all these messy things. The greatest ideal is to be an ordinary person to live a life without any waves. So I take the kindness of Governor. I have an agreement with Polaris Chief Marshal to work for him. After some time, I will be free again."

Master Arcturus nodded slowly, and wrinkles appeared in the corners of his eyes. He sighed and said, "It's not a good thing for young people to pursue ease. Some people are destined to be rough, and you can escape reality. There is no way to escape fate. But I respect your decision, but if one day you are willing to change your mind, the door of Governor Residence will open for you at any time."

Cloudhawk slightly moves the capacitance.

At this moment, I was really moved.

Above Arcturus Governor million people, how honorable great is in the eyes of the city dwellers, is simply the patron saint of Skycloud City. Such a person with strength, wisdom, and power can invite him with such an open mind and patience. This is unimaginable for a small person like Cloudhawk.

But just because Arcturus Governor is too smart to buy people’s hearts, Cloudhawk feels a little scared. This kind of fear is different from the previous fear of strength. The comparison of strength is often very intuitive. Who is strong and who is weak, how much is strong, how much is weak , At a glance. However, the gap in wisdom is always unknown. When Cloudhawk faced the elder, it felt like facing the sea and the ocean. The surface looked calm and calm. No one knew how deep it was and how much it was hiding. Gully.

Cloudhawk is worried that following Arcturus Governor, he will be assimilated and brainwashed by him soon, and eventually become a faithful dog in the hands of Governor.

Master Arcturus seems to think of something again: "I have been honest with you about Selene, and I hope you can keep this secret. After all, everything we do is for the tens of thousands of people of Skycloud City. Although there are occasional sacrifices, it seems to me that it is inevitable and necessary to exchange the smallest sacrifices for the greatest possible prosperity and peace."

Cloudhawk certainly doesn't want to cause trouble for herself: "I won't tell anyone."

Dawn Polaris found Cloudhawk and prepared to take Cloudhawk away. She one side went to one side and asked him: "What did the old fox tell you?"

Cloudhawk is just what the Arcturus master wants him to come and play for Governor Residence. Let’s just say it briefly. Dawn Polaris’s face whiter than paper is gloomy: "This guy is really not a good thing! Don’t forget, you owe it. Polaris family’s debt, I want to leave before paying off!"

Master Arcturus stood alone in the garden.

At this time, a footstep slowly approached~IndoMTL.com~Frost de Winter came to Master Arcturus, he was very humble and bent over and asked: "Master, students have questions."

"You want to ask why you want to let Cloudhawk go and why you try to win him?"

"Yes!"

“Even if Cloudhawk has the protection of the old man Skye Polaris, I can still get around him, but the deterioration of the relationship with the Polaris family for Cloudhawk is not worth it. As for wooing him? You have to remember that when you encounter someone temporarily unable to When dealing with the enemy, the best way is to turn him into a friend."

Frost de Winter is a little unconvinced.

Friends? Is Cloudhawk worthy of the humble inferior person!

Master Arcturus felt the dissatisfaction of his apprentice: "I have told you many times, never underestimate anyone, and never underestimate anyone's potential. In my opinion, Cloudhawk has no more potential than Skycloud City. Anyone who’s bad is just born humble and no one teaches. Starting today, you are not allowed to trouble him anymore."

Frost de Winter frowned tightly and finally whispered: "Yes!"
