Chapter 121 Patricia transforms, the Dark Moon Goddess arrives?
The commander of the Royal Guards stood at the prison gate with an expressionless face.
Beside him, there was a team of soldiers from the Kingdom's Imperial Guard following him.
"You guys stay here, and the rest of you follow me in."
"Yes!"
Several soldiers followed the legion commander into the devastated prison that was still burning.
When we walked into the prison, we saw that it was in a state of disrepair, with many mummified bodies lying on the ground with terrified looks on their faces.
The surviving prisoners were huddled in the corner of the cell, trembling as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.
The commander of the Royal Guards stomped a beetle that was crawling towards him and killed it. He looked at the beetle's corpse and said in a cold tone, "Necromancer."
Looking up at the prison, the only good news was that the prisoners did not escape, saving the effort of re-capturing them.
But it seems that most of the prisoners are mentally ill.
"Has it been confirmed that the prison breaker is Deya Cavendish?"
"Yes, sir. The surviving jailer confirmed that the prison breaker was the young master of the Cavendish family."
The legion commander nodded, and without saying anything, he took his soldiers away and ordered people to put out the fire.
The legion commander quickly summoned the guard officers of the city defense army in the city.
The officer said with a cold sweat on his head: "I'm sorry, Commander, we didn't catch Deya Cavendish and the Earl of Cavendish who was rescued by him.
We stopped their carriage, but it was empty. I suspect they escaped underground!"
The legion commander's expression slightly condensed.
He certainly knew that Abrana's underground had an intricate network.
If the Cavendish family found a way to the outside world, it would be almost impossible for the city guards to find them.
"But no matter how you run, you can only leave the city."
The legion commander suddenly burst out with powerful mythical power. A pair of wings of light grew behind him and he quickly flew out of the city.
……
The underground passage is cold, damp and narrow.
Deya and his companions walked at a very fast pace through the complicated road and went out of the city.
Camille carried Earl Cavendish on his back, while Deya looked at the fat man next to him who looked like a nouveau riche.
"Miles, the former president of the Black Seal Brotherhood. I think you should know me, Lord Deya, but we have never met."
Miles dropped the cigar in his mouth and introduced himself: "...The compensation money is what I ordered to be delivered to you, Lord Deya."
Lamia, who was silently following Deya, suddenly looked at Miles and said coldly, "Were you the one who issued the bounty order?"
There was one more thing Lamia didn't say, which was 'You asked me to assassinate Deya'?
Miles waved his hands quickly: "That was done by the people below. I didn't know. As the president, I can't always pay attention to the killers who receive missions. Miss Duke, this is really unfair!"
"you?!"
Lamia's pupils suddenly shrank.
There should be very few people in Susetsani who know her identity as the Duke's daughter. At least, the former president of the Black Seal Brotherhood should not know it.
Deya stopped the excited Lamia and asked, "Who are you?"
Miles smiled helplessly: “As for identity, that’s a lot, Lord Deya, please don’t look at me like that, I’m a little scared.
I don't intend to hide anything, I will tell you everything I know."
After a pause, Miles continued: "First of all, I am actually an intelligence officer of the Narbo Empire Intelligence Bureau, well, you can also understand it as a spy, and I was sent to Susetani.
As for how I knew your identity, Miss Cape, it was actually a coincidence.
When Miss Capet arrived in Abrams, she sold a personal item that had the seal of Grand Duke Capet on it.
As an intelligence agent for the Empire, I am very familiar with that seal.
Thinking of the Duke's missing daughter, I immediately doubted your identity, young lady."
As he finished speaking, Deya glanced at Lamia from the corner of his eye.
Lamia was very embarrassed and ashamed at this time.
She was too naive at that time and didn't expect that her identity would be exposed so easily.
Miles continued, “After discovering Miss Cape’s identity, I was shocked and wanted to stop her from completing the bounty mission, but it was too late.
At that time, Miss Capet had lost contact in your villa, Lord Deya. I thought about it and decided that since Miss Capet and I were not related at all, I would just pretend that I didn't know her.
But fortunately, it seems that Miss Cape and Mr. Deya are now on close terms.”
The fat man looked at the two of them with an ambiguous look, especially at the collar around Lamia's neck.
The collar looked like a lace collar, but the knowledgeable Miles knew that it was actually a slave chain.
Neither Deya nor Lamia were the type to be shy easily, and they ignored his ambiguous look.
Miles shrugged at this and said, “Let me continue. I came to Abrana about 20 years ago and established the underground organization Black Seal Brotherhood with the support of the Empire.
And about ten years ago, people from England found me and wanted me to join them.
Oh, by the way, as an underground organization in Abranah, how could it be possible that there is no official support? I also work for the Susetani Intelligence Agency."
Deya was speechless for a while.
Is this man playing Infernal Affairs?
Oh, it doesn't seem to be Infernal Affairs. Anyway, this middle-aged uncle who looks like a gang leader is quite capable and actually works for the intelligence departments of three countries.
“Of course, whether it’s Susaitani or England, they are both small countries in my eyes, and my main identity is still a member of the Narpo Empire Intelligence Bureau.
While working for Susaitani and Inglo, I also passed their intelligence back to the Empire."
Miles took out another cigar from his arms, lit it, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke: “But the Black Seal Brotherhood is finished, and I was almost killed, so I had to run away.
Lord Deya, I am going to tell you a secret. The one who approached me and wanted me to become an English intelligence agent was Viscount Palin, now the Prime Minister of Sussetani."
His words made Deya's expression change: "The Prime Minister is actually from England?"
Miles chuckled and said, “That’s right, our King probably never thought that the incompetent Prime Minister whom he trusted the most and looked down upon was actually from England.
And our self-proclaimed wise and powerful King, without knowing it, actually did everything in the interests of England.
For example, the biggest beneficiary of the Susaitani nobles' rebellion is England, and the Prime Minister is involved in the king's decisions."
This was something Deya had not expected.
The prime minister, who was seen as just a dog of the king by many Susaitani nobles, was actually hiding so deeply.
It may even be that he is the one holding the rope, and the one being led like the dog is the king!
From this perspective, the slogan of these nobles, "clear the court of corrupt officials", is actually not wrong.
“Our Prime Minister is very smart. He has always pretended to be a staunch supporter of the Second Prince. The reason why many of the policies he proposed were not doubted by the King was because he was starting from the Second Prince’s standpoint.
The current king of Susaytani and the next king were actually influenced by the prime minister. The second prince is not much smarter than the eldest prince, but with the support of the prime minister, he always does the right thing, which makes people think he is very smart. "
Miles' words made Deya suddenly understand: "The reason you produced the evidence that the eldest prince wanted to kill me was because Prime Minister Palin asked you to do so?"
“Yes, Lord Deya, this is all the Prime Minister’s request, because it will cause infighting among the Susaitani royal family.
And judging from the results, he succeeded again. The eldest prince died, and it was almost certain that the second prince would inherit the throne."
Miles said with emotion: “…Although Prime Minister Palin’s own strength is average, he is a qualified conspirator.
Because I knew too much, the Prime Minister wanted to get rid of me, but I was lucky enough to meet Lord Cavendish, who saved me and saved me. "
Only then did Deya understand why this former president of the Black Seal Brotherhood could be in touch with his father.
"Are you planning to go back to the Empire next?"
"I can no longer stay on this continental island, so of course I have to return to the empire.
Lord Deya, if you want to improve your strength in the future, you will definitely go to the Empire. You can contact me then, and I may be able to do something for you. "
Miles had a sincere expression, as if he was returning a favor.
Deya sneered: "My teacher, Master Irfan, has great prestige in the empire. What do you mean I need help and go find you? Actually, you want to cling to this thigh."
Miles chuckled when he heard that, and although he was thick-skinned, he was not embarrassed.
"What a cunning man!"
Deya cursed in his heart.
When Deya learned the truth of the matter, everyone crawled out from underground and came to the outskirts of Abrana.
The exit was right on the bank of the Spey River, where a small boat was docked.
An old man in gentleman's clothes was waiting. When he saw Deya and others, he hurried forward and saluted respectfully: "Master, Master!"
The old man was Celtic, the butler of the Cavendish family.
Deya also learned from his father that the butler was actually an 'Arcane Warrior', one of the seven-ring warrior branches, and could be said to be the strongest person in their Cavendish family.
Before, Deya was going to break into the prison, and Celtic had planned to go with him.
But Deya felt that too many people would cause trouble, so he rejected him.
"Deya, get on board, let's go back to Cavendish Territory together."
Earl Cavendish boarded the ship with the help of his butler and gestured to Deyadao.
Deya was about to follow when Lamia suddenly stopped him.
Deya looked at the witch in confusion.
Lamia shook her head and said firmly: "You must go with me to find the Witch of Wish."
"Wish Witch?"
"Well, the Wish Witch has the ability to fulfill other people's wishes. Specifically, the Wish Witch can allow a person below the fifth ring to get a perfect promotion without going through the World Recollection."
Lamia looked at Deya with her black gemstone eyes and said softly: "...Deya, I know you have always wanted to improve your strength, this is a good opportunity.
If the Wish Witch is captured by the Witch Cult, you will lose this opportunity.
And now you can make a wish to the witch to advance to the fourth ring.
Then you can skip the waiting time and proceed to the next world recollection, thus advancing to the fifth ring. I have prepared everything for you, you just need to work hard to complete it."
Deya just felt his scalp tingling.
Miss Witch, do you know that doing this will put a lot of pressure on others?
It feels like your girlfriend comes home and says to you: I work so hard to make money to improve our lives, isn’t it for you, can you please study hard?
It was stressful just hearing these words coming from my mother's mouth.
If it comes from your girlfriend's mouth, it's not just pressure, it's heavy.
At this time, Earl Cavendish said: "Deya, I think Lamia is right.
With your brother and I here, you don't have to worry about family matters. You should improve your strength as quickly as possible. When you are strong enough, I believe you will bring victory to the family."
Deya was speechless for a while.
Dad, what you said is like saying that your girlfriend is right, you should study hard, don't worry about family affairs, and wait until you pass the civil service exam and get a job.
What else could Deya say? He couldn't say anything.
Besides, Deya also wanted to improve his strength quickly, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then Lamia and I will go together to find the Witch of Wish."
Lamia said 'hmm' with a gentle look in her eyes, a look of joy in her eyes.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly flew over from the distant sky.
Seeing the bright light, everyone's expression changed slightly.
"It's the commander of the Royal Guards. Master, young master, you go first, I'll stop him!"
Celtic said with eyes like an eagle, looking at the legion commander flying in the distance.
Earl Cavendish thought this proposal was fine, and he said, "Celtic, don't fight too long, stop the enemy for a while and then leave quickly.
If there are other Seventh Ring Warriors coming, you might not be able to escape."
Deya felt that something was wrong: "Grandpa Celtic, you should save your mythical power to escort father away."
Abrams was still a long distance away from Cavendish County, and the Earl was now poisoned and had no fighting power, making him a complete burden.
If he is not with his father, then only Celtic can protect him, so Celtic should preserve his strength as much as possible.
Celtic felt that what Deya said was correct. He hesitated for a moment: "But besides me, who else can stop the legion commander?"
Patricia suddenly said, "Just stop the other party? Then leave it to me."
"You? Patricia, you want to use that ability? But after using it, you will fall into a deep sleep. Don't you hate sleeping the most? Are you really going to use it?"
Deya asked in surprise.
"I also need to show my strength. I can control my strength now. If I just want to stop the opponent instead of fighting a big battle, I don't need to fall into a deep sleep."
Patricia had just finished speaking.
Everyone was shocked to see that the clear sky in this area suddenly turned into night, and a dark full moon was rising in the darkness.
Patricia's petite body, which was able to sit on Deya's shoulders, grew taller in the wind, and instantly turned into a tall, dreamy woman.
Deya looked at the woman's face.
It was a face so beautiful that it was impossible to describe in words, as if the moonlight had condensed into her facial features, deep and mysterious.
She just stood there, like the endless night sky, the eternal death.
This is not Patricia's face at all, could this be the 'Dark Moon Goddess'? !
