Dust of History Chapter 111: Variable (15)

Asa sighed and said: "It's not you who arrested me, so there is no way to talk about it. And even if we all know the truth now, it's not the time to get to the bottom of it. Whether you want to go to Inham Or the problems between me and Oufu are all for the future. Let's talk about the present now. You let her go first."

Lancelot hesitated for a while, and let Aimei go. "I can let you two go. What do you want me to do with the orcs here? Do you want to use griffins to carry them back to Oufu one by one?"

"As long as you don't move, let these orc warriors safely withdraw from Celeste. Of course, the hostage in my hand will follow us until we reach the wild highland safely."

"Impossible." Lancelot shook his head. "No matter how fast these orcs march, it will take at least two or three months to reach the wild highlands from here. I will never agree with your majesty to stay among these orcs who have lost their sense for so long."

Asa said lightly: "But do you have a better way besides the danger?"

"You release the people first, I promise to let these orcs leave safely."

"Guarantee? I'm sorry, Lord Lancelot, I don't really believe in these things." Asa smiled lightly and shook his head.

"You don't believe my promise?" Lancelot's expression was not very good. The anger on the faces of Talis and the high priest beside him also became heavier.

"I think we might as well think about the problem from a different angle. It's not good for either of us to keep stalemate." Adela said suddenly.

"What do you mean? Tell me." Asa nodded. "I don't want to be stalemate, it's not easy to hold a guy like you."

"Now that I know that Sedros is really dead, I can tell you clearly that I don't care too much about the lives and deaths of these hundreds of orcs. If you really want to insist, you can let them go."

"Oh? Isn't that just right?"

"So what I mean is, since Sedros and Gru are gone, these hundreds of orcs are not worth our promise, so you can rest assured."

"It's worth it? I don't think Lord Lancelot's breaking his promise will cause any substantial loss to him. I would believe a **** robber with nothing. I have seen too many examples of inconsistency between words and deeds of high-ranking and powerful people. It's normal to be yourself."

"I have to admit that what you said is also reasonable. Only interests are the most trustworthy." Adela nodded, and suddenly lowered her voice to the point where only Asa could hear. "Then what if I come to promise you? I promise in the name of God in front of all these people. Then you should see the loss if I break the promise, it will definitely not be worse than killing hundreds of orcs." value."

"Maybe." Asa thought for a while and nodded. His identity is still the acting pope, even if it is only acting. After all, he is also the pope, and in this capacity, it is impossible to contradict his promise. Unless he doesn't even want to act as the pope.

"Just let go of these hundreds of orcs. This leaf of the tree of the world cannot be given to you."

Asa immediately shook his head: "It seems to me that you don't have any need for the leaves of the World Tree. But I do."

"There is indeed something that is needed, but I can't tell you about it. I can't let you take this World Tree leaf away anyway." Adela's tone was firm.

"Then I'm sorry, I also need this World Tree leaf. Since you have already told me your hole card, I might as well tell you. As long as you return this World Tree leaf to the elves, I will not only It can resolve the grudge between them and Agrinel, and it also adds the most reliable ally, and a reliable place to go. You know, if people like me can have a safe haven like the Forest of Whispers Then you can even sleep more peacefully. Although the elves are a bit stupid and inflexible, they also have the advantage of being inflexible. Things like morality and trust are much more important than interests in their eyes. As long as I can take them back De Saint, they are my most loyal allies in my life.”

"So, the leaf of the world tree is the last thing I can let go of. It is more important to me than these orcs. As you know, Gru and Sedros are gone, I have to It’s not negotiable to find a safer place for this thing.” Asa then sighed deeply. "I'm very tired, really tired. You know it's not easy to hold someone under the watchful eyes of Lord Lancelot. I must always ensure that I can turn you into a rotten corpse before he unleashes his sword. It is really difficult to keep this kind of concentration for a long time to guard against the paralysis that may be suddenly shot by some cardinal. For your safety, please stop haggling with me. The control won't last long. This is no longer a question of whether I want to."

Adela's face was ugly. He could clearly feel the hand on his neck tightened, and the faint but extremely ferocious breath of necromantic magic surged in this hand, as if a huge poisonous snake couldn't help stretching out its letter to lick it. After licking it, he felt that the skin and muscle cells there were dead and wounded.

Lancelot's face also didn't seem to change, but he still insisted on not making a move. He believed that this person was absolutely capable of crushing Adela's neck when he shot, and at the same time filled his brain with necromantic magic like a sausage. The power and magic had already gathered in his hands, like pulling a full At this time, he himself was pulling the bowstring hard to prevent the force from being released.

There was cold sweat on Adela's forehead, but he didn't seem too flustered, but narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking carefully at the fastest speed, weighed it, and finally sighed , nodded and said: "Okay, then I will give you the leaves of the world tree. Then we have reached an agreement like this? What do you think?"

Asa finally nodded, and his expression was also relaxed, but he didn't let go of his hands, and said, "That's fine. It's not a way to go on like this..."

Adela raised her voice, raised one hand to the sky, and said loudly in the standard swearing posture of a believer: "Okay. I only swear in the name of the acting Pope and the Lord of heaven. As long as you put Pass me. I promise that I will never send anyone to kill hundreds of orcs before they set foot on the wild highlands, of course you and this little girl are among them."

His voice was very loud, not only the great priest and others around him, but also many people around the square heard it.

"Okay. Since His Majesty the Pope has spoken, I'm relieved." Asa's eyes swept over the faces of the surrounding priests and others, and then he suddenly felt relieved. He grabbed Aimei who was beside him and walked towards the beast crowd. Zhongfei retreated.

Even so, he still didn't relax his vigilance completely, and kept squinting at the movements of Lanswood and Adela. As long as there was any change in them, he could react in the first step.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Lancelot stepped forward to support Adela. It's just that the great priests around, the cardinal and Talis looked at the acting pope with eyes that were not quite right. Talis seemed to want to say something to Lancelot, but she didn't speak in the end.

"I'm fine." Adela rubbed her neck, watching Asa and Aimei retreat into the crowd of beasts with cold eyes. "I didn't expect this guy to be so difficult to deal with. I'm sorry. He took away the leaf of the world tree because of me. Now I can only hope that he is really used to form an alliance with the elves."

"Why do you say that, Your Majesty?" Lancelot's face was sullen for a while. "It's just... the only way to let them go now is to really let them go. If Sedros and Gru are really dead, these hundreds of orcs really won't make a difference..."

Adela looked at the orcs surrounded in the center, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out. After a while, he finally shook his head and said: "We can't let them go. This is a rare opportunity, let alone the orcs. Once you miss this time, it will be almost impossible to catch that kid and get back the leaf of the world tree again." It's possible."

"But Your Majesty, you have..."

"It's okay~IndoMTL.com~I'm still acting as pope, so my words are still valid. I ordered to kill these orcs immediately, capture that kid named Asa alive, and take back the leaf of the world tree." Adela He said coldly that he didn't need to look around to feel that everyone around him was looking at him. Except for Lancelot, everyone's eyes were full of doubts, guards and puzzles. Celeste's reputation is not high, and the impact of what Ai Yimei said just now on these people is self-evident. When these words were uttered just now, the surprise in their eyes became even more contemptuous.

"Don't be surprised, pass on my last order quickly." Adela ignored the eyes of others and continued to say coldly: "Now I will resign as the acting pope. I have violated God's The oath made in the name is no longer qualified to take on the important task entrusted by His Majesty. I suggest that Lord Lancelot should be appointed as the acting pope. Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone who could hear these words looked at each other in amazement, but the one who was most surprised was Lancelot, who argued to Adela, "Your Majesty, how could this be?"

Adela, it should be said that Magnus who occupied this young body breathed a sigh of relief, with no joy or worry on his face, and said softly: "This is the best way now. Since that kid dares to take himself I bet my life, why can't I use this useless name to gamble now? Now is not the time to hesitate, let's make a move."
