War Lord

Chapter 759: St. Louis City

Even Rì came, because of the video of unknown origin, the whole city of Rome was boiling.レm♠思♥路♣客レThe contradiction caused by Sauron was further developed, and with the support of Mendriza and Joseph, a large-scale demonstration [movement] was set off in the city of Rome. The residents of Rome asked Sauron to surrender the murderer. Even though Sauron's arrangement, the officer who was rumored to be killed frequently appeared in front of the public, but they accused him of being a substitute for the dead.

The people also demanded that Sauron's palace be made public, all of which have violated Sauron's bottom line. He immediately responded with a strong counterattack, and the leader of the movement was arrested and publicly executed. Then the sī army was transferred from the outer island under Sauron's name to suppress it, and all those who dared to gather the crowds to make trouble were arrested, and several lower-level nobles were also suffered. They are basically the system of the Mendriza family. These people were executed by Sauron. To some extent, it was also a meaning that Sauron conveyed to the two families.

Sauron's tough counterattack made many people remember the **** rìzi fifteen years ago, and now they remember Sauron's blood and magnificence. This calmed down the opposition, but like lava on a volcano, the people's dissatisfaction and anger towards Sauron increased unabated, and they were in the stage of erupting at any time.

Sauron was also very busy. In several meetings, Mendriza and Joseph were absent from the meeting, making it clear that they were going against Sauron. Other officials or allies based on the two systems have also frequently impeached Sauron's achievements in recent years. Even the religious court, forced by the pressure of the two giants of Joseph and the people, had to reopen the investigation into the death of the old pope, which greatly damaged Sauron's image.

On this day, Sauron, who had handled his affairs and returned to his sī people's office, did not roar in anger, but a series of loud noises came from the office. When Wither opened the door cautiously, he saw that the supplies and brains in the office had become a pile of tatters, and there were cobweb-like cracks on the walls, he knew that his master was in a bad mood. Through.

He hesitated, wondering if bothering Sauron would be looking for death at this time?

Sauron noticed him, suppressing his anger and said, "What happened again?"

"No, sir. But someone wants to see you." Wither lowered his head.

"Who? Mendriza, or Joseph?" Sauron sneered.

"Neither, my lord. His name is Rex, and he claims to be from the Dark Brotherhood." Withel replied.

"Dark Brotherhood?" Sauron said, suddenly the anger in the group disappeared cleanly. This vocabulary, which had been missing for more than ten years, finally entered his world again. This made Sauron a little stunned, and Wither did not dare to disturb him. After a while, Sauron said, "Let him come to see me."

After a while, Rex walked into Sauron's office with a broken arm. Obviously startled when he saw the mess in the room, Sauron frowned and said, "You better say something useful. Now I am in a bad mood."

Rex hurriedly lowered his head and said, "My lord must be interested, because I know one thing, one thing about the Dark Brotherhood and the zero-sum Pope Paul."

"Oh? It sounds interesting, just say it."

So Rex brought Paul to the City of Rock, and went to the base camp of the Dark Brotherhood together with Zero, and revealed all of the secret meeting with the Committee of Seven. A smile gradually appeared on Sauron's face. When Rex finished speaking, he said solemnly: "Since you are a member of the Dark Brotherhood, why do you want to tell me this?"

"My lord, I'm not anymore. The ruthless woman Isabel fired me. Now, I just want to avenge that woman!" Rex gritted his teeth.

"Very well, if I catch her. She is yours. Tell me now, where is the headquarters of the Dark Brotherhood?"

"Pearl Corridor, my lord. They have an underground base there, and I know how to get there. Of course, I hope I can get a little bit of reward for my efforts." Rex whispered.

Sauron laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "You bring great news, rest assured, I won't treat you badly."

He called Wesel in again, and asked him to ask a silver hand guard to take Rex down to rest first, and then said to Wesel: "Go and inform Adam that we have something to do. This is a good opportunity, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Kill all the leader of the Poseidon regiment, that boy Paul, and the Brotherhood that has always thought to be superior. I want to see, after that, who else would dare to stand up against me!"

"Of course not." Wither flattered beside him.

At the same time that Sauron was about to talk to the Dark Brotherhood against the zero class, a brig was sailing on a special sea. This is a medium-sized ship that can carry about fifty people. Except for a dozen sailors, there are not many people left on the boat. But everyone here has a prominent identity. On this humble sailing ship, there are Isabel, one of the seven members of the Dark Brotherhood, and Zero, the leader of the Poseidon regiment, and the last is Pope Paul of Rome. .

They left the city of Rock secretly three days ago. After a few days of land travel, Yu Jinliming set sail in a secret port belonging to the Brotherhood and sailed towards this sea.

It is winter, and part of the sea near the mainland has long been frozen and it is impossible to sail by boat. But here, there is no ice because of an active volcano in the sea. Under the high temperature and icy water released by the volcano from time to time, a méng hazy mist is formed to envelop this sea area. The captain driving in it must be someone who is familiar with this section of the waterway, otherwise it is easy to hit the reef or floating ice. This led to the sinking of the ship.

Obviously, the captain in charge of this sailing ship now has rich experience and is very familiar with this section of the waterway. The boat didn't drive fast, but it gradually approached the zero-class destination. The place they were going to was called the Pearl Corridor, which was a group of islands strung together by eighteen large and small islands. It looked like a pearl necklace from the sky, so the name Pearl Corridor was given.

The base camp of the Dark Brotherhood was on an island in the Pearl Corridor. When he heard the news, Paul was surprised and closed his mouth from ear to ear. He had thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that the Brotherhood would be set up in that place in the base camp. Because the Pearl Corridor is actually one of the inner islands ruled by the city of Rome, and on one of the islands, the Pope’s Hall also has a military base.

I am afraid that even Sauron would not know that the Dark Brotherhood would set the base under his nose. If it hadn't been for Isabel's own personal statement, Paul would not believe it if he was killed.

With zero dúlì bow, looking at the méng hazy sea area in front of him, which was filled with mist, I felt like I was in a dream. But think about it carefully, how can the experience of these years have a kind of dreamlike feeling. Suddenly, Ling thought, if it hadn’t been for the people from Z7 base that he had discovered the hibernation chamber he was in, would he continue to sleep deeply ignorantly until the energy in the hibernation chamber was exhausted, and then he would be quiet in his sleep. Die.

That would be another ending.

But now, he is facing an unknown future, just like this mist of water. Only méngméng can see the shadows of things ahead, but when the ship approaches, you will find that the gap between imagination and reality is so huge.

Suddenly, there was a movement in Ling's heart, and then footsteps sounded behind him. After the fragrant wind drilled his nose, Isabel leaned against the railing in front of the ship and said: "Every time I pass by, I will stand at the bow of the ship. Isn't this méngméng hazy feeling beautiful? But in fact, these waters The fog is very deadly. The heat of the submarine volcanoes and the ice-water phase generate water mist, but at the same time some radiation mist in the sea water is volatilized, causing them to form some nano-level toxic particles in the mist."

Isabel turned around and leaned against the railing with her powder back and said: "Look at the sailors on this ship. They basically have to change a batch every year. Even if they are far from this sea area, their lifespan will be longer than normal. Cut it by one third."

"But they are still willing to work for you."

"No, no. To be precise, to work for the Brotherhood. Because we paid, they couldn't make it even harder." Isabel said indifferently.

Zero silence, indeed, it is not easy for everyone in this era. If you can earn a huge amount of wealth for your family to have a worry-free life, let alone a one-third reduction in life expectancy, many people will be willing to do it even if you sell your life. Zero turned to another topic and asked: "Actually, I'm curious, what criteria does your brotherhood use to judge that the future you lead is beneficial to everyone on the mainland?"

Isabel shrugged and said: "How can there be any standards? The so-called future in our eyes is just the future that a few people hope for."

Ling Shen glanced at her deeply, and Isabel said calmly and calmly: "In fact, this is the case. We are humans, and we will have such things as **** and ambition. As long as there is such a thing, what we see is destined to be A narrow future. In fact, the current world is nothing more than the world of a few people. The low-level people can only survive by relying on the upper ones. They are more concerned about the present, and how can they care about the future."

"It makes sense, but it sounds uncomfortable."

"Master Zero turned out to be an idealist too." Isabel laughed haha.

"That can't be called, but I'm not used to putting my ambitions on such a high-sounding vocabulary as'guidance'."

"It turns out that Master Zero also has ambitions."

"Who has no ambitions in this era?" Zero smile asked: "Just like Miss Isabel, your ambitions are not small, are you?".

"Don't say that, I just want to live hard, and then live a little better."

At this time, Pope Paul got out of the cabin. He walked on the deck and walked towards the bow, and said hello to the two of them: "The two are in good spirits, is there any beautiful scenery to enjoy with such a big mist?".

After greeted him, Isabel said: "It's windy and foggy here. My body can't stand it, so I won't accompany the two of you."

Watching her leave, Paul laughed and said: "Her body is not as weak as it seems on the surface."

"Of course, for an ordinary person, there is no abnormal organization in this environment for years of violence. Even if you are not capable, your physical fitness will not be bad. Women, weak, etc. It's just for protection." Ling said.

Paul glanced at him and said: "You can see it thoroughly, I just think she should be like me, she has been injected with gene-enhancing drugs, so she can resist the erosion of the surface radiation."

The Pope said: "Now, the two old foxes of Mendrissa should use the video material I gave them to make Sauron angry? It's a pity that I am not in Rome, and I can't see Sauron's jīngcai expression. ."

Ling smiled and said: "It seems that you are not afraid of Sauron, obviously our current situation is far from an advantage."

"Of course I am not afraid of him, because I know what kind of person he is." Paul looked back to zero and said: "In fact, I am more afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" Ling shook his head and said, "Do I look so scary?"

"Because I can't see through you, just like this mist of water. People always feel fear of the unknown, don't they?".

Zero knew what he wanted to say, and he held the boat rail, he said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, you will think that some of my actions are incomprehensible. For example, why I want to bring down Sauron, but in the end I gave you the throne."

"Yes, this is the most invisible part of you."

"That's because, whether it's the Western Continent or you, it's an episode in my life. And I don't have time to stop for these episodes. In my future, there are more important people and things. Waiting for me." Zero looked at the young Pope: "I only hope that this experience of fighting together can make you and me loyal allies. In the future, when I need your strength, His Highness Paul, I hope You can give me a helping hand."

There was an inexplicable flame burning in Paul's mouth. In Zero's eyes, he seemed to see the continuous flames of war that would fill the future. He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand: "Okay, I'll bet once. If you can do everything you promised, then no matter when, I will be your most loyal ally!"

"Then it's settled." Zero smiles, and firmly squeezes Paul's palm.

At this moment, the fog suddenly cleared.

As the boat sailed out of the misty area, its sight suddenly widened. Just before the eyes of the two people, a pearl corridor with a dozen islands strung together into an arc-shaped island group arrived. The ship drove into a concealed harbor, the zero class got off the ship, and two cars were waiting aside early. The car drove out of the dock and drove into a mountain tunnel. When it stopped, Zero almost thought he was back to the old train station.

Except that there is only one platform, and the train on the track has only four short carriages, it is not much different from the old railway station. Isabel invited them into the car and walked into one of the luxuriously decorated cars. The two walls of the carriage are embedded with wooden boards, and a crystal ceiling is hung on the roof. A picture of "Méng Na Lisa's Smile" is hung on the left wall. The ground is covered with a red carpet, and people walk on it comfortably and silently.

This is like a carriage, like a room in a mansion.

After the zero class got on the train, the train made a whistle and sprayed steam from the front of the train. Zero was surprised that this train turned out to be the most primitive steam kinetic energy system. Seeing zero surprise, Isabel explained: “The use of a steam system can prevent large-scale use of energy from being noticed by the outside world. Although it is an ancient kinetic energy system, we have redesigned it so that solid fuel can be used instead of the original The coal. But more because of the strong nostalgia of some committee members."

According to Isabel’s explanation, the train started to move. It followed the rails. It inherited the ancient appearance, and the power provided by the technology of the new era allowed this big guy to move vigorously. In the carriage, Ling could not feel the slightest tremor, but he watched the tunnel platform continuously retreat outside the window, and then the outside lighted up, but it was a virgin forest covered with white snow. The train was running in the forest, and the door of the carriage was opened at this time. Some waiters pushed the dining car in, skillfully arranging wine and food.

Isabel said: "It will take more than an hour or so to reach the base. Let's have something to eat first."

Looking at the silver plate decorated with the huā pattern on the table and the finely crafted silver tableware, everything in it reveals the antiquity of the Dark Brotherhood and the low-key luxury. They are completely a group of hidden nobles, or the highest-level kind. Even if Isabel is just a person who is on the fringe of the core of power, her every move can reveal the unattainable background and temperament of others.

Compared with her, Ling felt that the guard named Rex was really right. He was like a hillbilly.

It's just that few hillbillies can have the power and influence he has now.

The only person who seemed more elegant was Pope Paul, whose elegant actions followed to the Roman nobles made him even look pleasing to the eye when eating. As for the three of Zero, Cinderella and Mr. X, they can only be described as "rude".

The train arrived at its destination in more than an hour, the city of St. Louis where the Dark Brotherhood base camp is located. It's a city, but it's actually a base in the middle of the mountain. After the train arrives at the station, you need to drive along the tunnel ~lightnovelpub.net~ after about one kilometer, you will see the city gate of St. Louis. The steel gate, which is provided with kinetic energy by hydraulic machinery, opens slowly. Behind the gate is a security check passage about 100 meters long. After passing the security check, you will finally enter the city of St. Louis.

The city in the hinterland of the mountain is not as big as imagined. It is about the size of a small town, not to mention the size of Asgart. There is no holographic projection board like Asgart in the mountain city, and you can see the rough and uneven mountainside when you look up. It's just that high-power lighting is installed in the belly of the mountain, and the street lights of the city streets are not extinguished for many years, so the whole city is brightly lit.

As for the style of the city, if Asgart is majestic and magnificent, then St. Louis is elegant and quiet. The buildings here are slender and gorgeous, and various sculptures can be seen as decorations on the walls and eaves. The broken white stone road is like a series of complicated huā patterns, connecting the whole city into an indivisible whole. Among them, there are fountains, Guangchangchang, huā altar and green belt as decoration.

There were hardly any soldiers in the city of St. Louis. The people here were elegant and well-dressed. Even cars are very rare, but from time to time there are several common horse-drawn carriages passing by in the Middle Ages.

The entire city of St. Louis was reflected in Zero's eyes like a paradise. With his rich experience, he couldn't help but see a sign at this moment. ! .
