Chapter 126: Coercion and temptation

Views:

Natasha ignored Verdi, just looked at Sylvia who was walking side by side with Verdi, narrowed her eyes slightly, bit her mouth gloomily, and then asked bitterly and angrily: "Is it really you?" What on earth are you doing? Are you telling me lies? "

Verdi saw that Natasha didn't suffer any injuries except for a little fatigue and depression, and knew that her strength was still intact, and that Natasha's entourage knights still had a few left in the ambush of the sky knights and high-level magicians. One fourth-level great knight, two second-level knights, and two formal knights are a force that should not be underestimated, so they did not rashly order the knights loyal to him to attack. Her power disintegrated and instigated the remaining knights.

As for the more than twenty knight attendants and seventy or eighty soldiers around Natasha, Verdi didn't take it seriously at all. The formal knights might still be a little afraid of the standard magic-breaking longbow in the hands of the attendants, but he and the other five A great knight is not afraid at all, this is the absolute suppression of strength after the rank is promoted.

Sylvia took two deep breaths, and her soft and painful expression gradually became calm: "I am very grateful for your love for me, Natasha. But I love my father even more. He finally came into contact with the people of the Magic Council. I want to get rid of the life of repression and fear, so I have to do something for him. I originally thought that they inquired about you for the secrets of Ratasha Palace or other secrets, but I didn’t expect that their purpose was to assassinate you. But things have changed In this way, my father died under your spear, and I can only forget about everything else and avenge him."

Members of the Magic Council? Droni had already been killed by Natasha? Many questions arose in Lucien's mind, and then he came to his senses: "Could it be that Deroni and Sylvia are also magicians? Have you ever seen them in the magic circle?"

After carefully measuring Sylvia's height and shape, and distinguishing the characteristics of her voice, Lucien finally connected her with the magic apprentice White Honey: "Then Deroni is the master of the black crow Ashley? No wonder I feel a little Familiar! No wonder when I pretended to be a professor, Deroni was the first to test me!"

"It's just that Natasha's mother passed away long ago. Why did the Magic Council cooperate with Verdi to assassinate Natasha?"

"Just grateful for my love? Sylvia, you didn't say that before. Maybe I have been living in a false lie, you are lying to me, and my dear cousin is lying to me." Natasha is keen Paying close attention to Sylvia's words, she asked with a bit of grief and indignation, but she did not regret killing Deroni at the first time, otherwise not only herself, but all the following knights including Camille would have died in the ambush.

Lucien was quite pitiful and sympathetic to Natasha, but he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth after hearing her words: "It seems that I'm lying to her too..."

Sylvia tried her best to keep calm: "Gorgeous and spacious villas, exquisite and delicious food, attentive and professional servants, a promising musician's life, elegant and pleasant noble salons and banquets, these are the life that others dream of. For me, it can't compare to the joy of learning magic, the satisfaction when the experiment is successful, or the wish of my father. Natasha, the road of life is like two crossing lines. We have met before , but it will go farther and farther in the end.”

"This..." Lucien empathized with Sylvia's words, and understood the depression of not being able to learn magic openly, but he was probably one of the targets betrayed by her. The things in the world are really strange. Even if he reveals his identity as a magician now, he might be directly killed by Verdi, because he has nothing to do with the Magic Council.

Before Natasha could speak, Verdi suddenly stretched out his hand, ignoring Sylvia's resistance, and put his arms around her waist: "As for love, dear cousin, although you are strong, determined, brave, free and easy Humorous, but you are still a woman, there is no way to give Sylvia the love she wants."

Natasha closed her eyes, and then smiled brightly and brilliantly, burying all the sadness, softness and grief on her face: "You are really an admirable magician, I have never noticed that you are so persistent, Sylvia. On the one hand, I probably never got into your heart. Hehe, Cousin Verdi, I seem to have never really understood you. For the title of Grand Duke, you dare to collude with the Magic Council and the Silver Horn cult. Do you think the Bishop of Sard will crown you? The Inquisition is where you belong! Don't you understand that you are being tempted by the devil!"

Now that Verdi has come out from behind the scenes, Natasha recalled the incident of the intelligence department being infiltrated by the Silver Horn, and the incident that Longsan Aaron could never find. How could she still not understand what Verdi played in it? effect.

As a resolute and powerful knight, Natasha didn't bother with the issues of love and betrayal, and asked Verdi directly, hoping that the knights who followed him would understand the consequences of everything they did and hesitate.

Making a deal with the devil and a magician are enough crimes to go to the stake.

Verdi laughed loudly: "The temptation of the devil? If I didn't want to, why should it tempt me! Why did the Grand Duke inherit the title, why did my father die for no reason? Is it also the temptation of the devil?"

"And when did I collude with the devil's believers? I am the hero who fought against the Silver Horn! Without my key information, how could Bishop Sard and Earl Hayward destroy the final operation of the Silver Horn in time and kill them? Destroy them all? How could it be too late to rescue you, cousin?"

"And as long as you are killed, Mr. Rogerio of the Magic Council will deal with the scene and point all the clues to the Magic Council. The Magic Council will also announce that it is responsible for this matter. I am only late for rescue!"

"It seems that you, Cousin Verdi, only used the Silver Horn from the beginning, and now you have betrayed them without hesitation." Natasha calmed down completely.

But even after hearing this conversation, the more than 20 knights and hundreds of knight attendants who followed Verdi were all expressionless, without any emotional fluctuations.

Lucien was a little surprised. He looked carefully at the surrounding knights and found Longsan Aaron with a familiar figure.

Verdi sneered: "If it wasn't for Mr. Lucien Evans beside you who betrayed the Silver Horn, I would have succeeded long ago. But that's okay, the momentary victory blinds you and makes you think Not having a spy by your side made you trust Sylvia even more, and walked into my ambush unsuspectingly."

Natasha raised her purple eyebrows: "So during Mr. Victor's concert, you actually fell into the trap of my language on purpose and prompted me to invite Lucien as a music consultant?"

"Dear cousin, I'm glad you realize that you're not that smart." Verdi seemed a little proud that his plans for many years were about to succeed, and if time dragged on for a while, maybe Magician Rogerio and the Knight of Legon would be able to After finishing Camille, he rushed over, so he looked at Lucien again: "Your declaration of uncompromising to the enemy, I appreciate it very much after I heard it from Sylvia, but it's a pity that you betrayed the Silver Horn and destroyed the My plan! Originally, if you hadn't gone to Lake Elsinore to be killed by the Silver Horn, I would have sent someone to hunt you down, but you bumped into Natasha, which saved me a lot of things."

It was only then that Lucien realized what danger Maskileen was referring to, because Sylvia's betrayal, his "Moonlight Bloodline" and the betrayal of the Silver Horn were no secrets, but Verdi and Silver Zhijiao was afraid of getting revenge on himself and Joel's family for disturbing Natasha and the church and making the final plan fail, so he kept holding back and prepared to "reward" himself after the big event was successful: "Fortunately, they don't know my identity as a 'professor' …”

"Thank you, Earl, for letting me know that I am far less safe than I imagined." Lucien smiled calmly in his heart, and Deroni's poems and scattered manuscripts should just be a way to lure himself, after all, the magic relics are very important. It's hard to say how tempting a quasi-knight is. The real danger is Verdi's pursuit after the fact, but now it's just detonating the danger in advance.

At the same time, Lucien sensed the gap between the surrounding necromancer world and the main material world through the corona of the sun. This is the best shortcut to escape the encirclement, but what is sad is that the previous gap has completely disappeared with the collapse of the myth. , there is no one in the sensing range.

"Your calmness is really admirable." Verdi restrained himself and looked at the knights behind Natasha seriously: "Knight Wynn, are you still going to resist with Natasha? Your Excellency from the Northern Fortress, The two Golden Knights of the Dark Mountain Fortress, as well as the Hein family and the Hill family all hinted that they are neutral. As long as I can kill Natasha, they will recognize me as the future Grand Duke."

As soon as this sentence was said, not only the knights, knight attendants and soldiers behind Natasha were all in an uproar, but even Natasha herself couldn't believe it.

Seeing that the effect was good, Verdi continued: "The reason why they made such a choice is because a female knight with a weird personality who likes women makes them disgusted and worried! Natasha insulted the spirit of chivalry, and there is no way to guarantee the bloodline." Continuation of descendants, will you feel honored to follow Natasha?"

The uproar turned into an eerie silence, and everyone seemed lost in thought.

"So everyone betrayed me..." Natasha whispered bitterly to herself.

"I have two fifth-level great knights, one fourth-level great knight, three third-level great knights, eight second-level knights, eleven official knights, and hundreds of knight attendants. Can your strength break through?" After Verdi's temptation, he began to intimidate again.

"If you choose to be loyal to me, you will live to see the sun rise in the morning, and I will bless you all!"

"And if the head is as stubborn as a rock, wait for hell!"

It was extremely quiet for a while, and many soldiers and knight servants began to flee, running towards Verdi's small knights opposite, and even an official knight was in their ranks.

Natasha was very calm at this time, just watching the scene with deep eyes, and the long "enchanted" lance was placed on the horse's back without any movement.

When all those who should escape have fled, Natasha looked at the team of less than ten people and a few empty dragon-scale horses around her, and smiled softly, beautiful and resolute: "Knight Wynn, why don't you past?"

Wynn, a fourth-level knight, has brilliant blond hair and eyes like blue lake water. He replied seriously: "I have chosen the lord I am loyal to, Your Royal Highness, and I will always fight for you! This is my loyal knight's creed!"

Natasha nodded affirmatively, then looked at Lucien again: "What about you? Lucien."

Lucien said calmly: "I will never compromise with the enemy." Compared with other knights, he is a quasi-knight who is worthless at all. In addition, he has betrayed the silver horn and destroyed Verdi's plan. He still has a lot of secrets , Surrender will only die faster, and Verdi may not really let the surrendered person go.

"Lucien, you have the spirit of chivalry that many people don't have. You are a true knight." Natasha's expression softened a little.
