Low Dimensional Game

Edward knew Adenos's name, but he had never heard him mention his surname, including everyone in the tower, who did not know that Adenos turned out to be the prince of the Kingdom of Mara, the royal family that truly had the right to inherit the throne.

When he left the City Defense Office, Edward had already reached a cooperation agreement with Hans. The goal behind the conspiracy should be the coronation ceremony of the new king seven days later. The impressions related to this incident have been branded into Hans' mind.

According to what Hans said, the entire palace has been tightly sealed by the king's guards. Except for reading the king's will and deciding the succession yesterday, Hans entered the kingdom with some big nobles and royal families, and no one entered the kingdom after that. pass.

And Hans also felt that the changes in the kingdom were too weird. First of all, the king's death was too sudden. All the owners of the succession rights to the throne gave up their succession rights, and the original sixth prince Adenos suddenly became the new king. It also caused an uproar among all noble groups.

In addition, the entire king's guards swore allegiance to Adenos, allowing Adenos to instantly grasp the most powerful military force in Babs. You must know that this is the king's personal guard, and the new king has not yet inherited the throne. Sometimes, it is impossible to get their approval.

Hans, who was born in the King's Guard, knew this very well, and he found that he, who was born in the King's Guard and was inextricably linked with the owner of the King's Guard, had completely lost touch with the King's Guard. After getting in touch, Hans knew that there must have been unexpected changes in the King's Guards.

The connection of this series of sudden changes and abnormal events is enough to infer some creepy plots. The entire city of Babs has been completely plunged into a shocking crisis. If they don't act again, Let the other party's conspiracy be completely successful, and the ruling class of the entire Mara Kingdom will be overwhelmed at the king's coronation ceremony, and the entire Mara Kingdom will be completely finished.

This made Hans feel his hairs stand on end when he thinks about it. Who on earth can do such a thing, and how dare he do such a devil-like act? His purpose is not rule, not the desire for power and revenge, but It is naked killing and death, which will pull the entire Mara kingdom into the devil's kingdom.

"Why? Why did you do this?" When Hans spoke, his face was flushed and his breath was short of breath.

"There is no reason, maybe it is because of a strange ideal, maybe this is just an experiment to explore the meaning of life, maybe... There are many possibilities, the real reason is only known by the mastermind behind it, and what we need to know is that he It has already been done, and what we need to do is how to stop him." Edward said.

The cooperation agreement between Edward and Hans is that Edward will find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and know whether the other party's entire plan is different from what they expected. Edward can mobilize the strength of the city defense army, and Hans will In the past few days, check the interior of the entire city defense army to find out if any high-level ghouls have been mixed in. Hans can be sure that the interior of the city defense army must also be planted with the seeds of conspiracy. He must find out immediately Clear out.

Then he will use the city defense army to investigate and block the underground waterway according to the original Babs city construction drawings. These underground monsters must be completely sealed in the underground waterway, and they must not be allowed to crawl out. .

In addition, Babs needs to contact some trustworthy high-level nobles in the entire Babs city to expose and fight against this conspiracy. If, as Edward said, the other party has already mastered the king's guards, a thousand The human knight legion has been transformed into a more powerful undead monster legion. It is simply a dream to fight against the city defense army with two or three thousand soldiers who have not really experienced war and have some lazy training.

More importantly, he informed Cardinal Pitt of the Diocese of Guangming that Hans trusted Cardinal Pitt more than those lords who had long been eyeing the throne of the Monar family king, and wanted to deal with this This devil-like power, the power of the pastors of the Church of Light, is more trustworthy. Although Edward doesn't like people in the church, at this time, any power is worth fighting for.

At dusk, the city of Babs was stained with the blood red of the setting sun, and the wide Nami River outside the city was rippling, so beautiful that it was amazing and intoxicating. The returning ship was carrying goods accompanied by the melodious evening bell , The young boatman standing on the bow waved to his wife who was waiting on the pier with the child in his arms, then jumped up and hugged him in his arms.

The old fisherman and his young son, who were carrying the fish, carried the boxes full of fresh fish together, and walked home in the shadow of the setting sun. The boats coming and going passed under the bridge. , Edward squatted on the pier under the setting sun and watched the lives of these people until the darkness fell completely, and then walked along the street towards the way home, but along the way back, his expression became more and more serious .

Seven days later was the king's coronation ceremony. Although the people in Babs City still lived peacefully, Edward felt an unusual sense of nervousness and urgency. The atmosphere of the coming war made him feel involuntary all over his body. trembling.

As he approached his home, Edward found that the small building along the street where he lived was full of people, pointing and pointing inside, as if they were discussing something, and the city guards were also standing in the courtyard, the entire small courtyard It looked lively, but the atmosphere seemed extremely weird.

The doors of the room were all destroyed. Seeing this scene, Edward was taken aback for a moment, suddenly understood something, and quickly ran into the room at a trot.

"What are you doing? No one is allowed inside, stand for me..."

Immediately, someone from the city guard wanted to block Edward, but immediately recognized Edward's appearance, knowing that this person was an acquaintance in front of his boss Tucker, and immediately let Edward rush into the small building.

Edward entered the door, stopped suddenly, and his footsteps suddenly became sluggish, as if his whole body was a little weak, and he seemed to be afraid that if he walked forward, he would see something that frightened him.

Edward walked the short corridor for a long time before he came to the living room, turned his head slightly, and immediately saw a young girl lying in the hall, with a joyful and shy smile that Edward was familiar with.

At this moment, she fell into a pool of blood like a delicate flower, and the bright red blood spread on the ground, staining the somewhat whitish gray dress she washed red.

When she died, she was painless, and the curse of witchcraft killed her in an instant. When she died, she was still looking forward to Edward's return, immersed in her little love and shyness, and there was no smile on her face. Change, the overturned silver plate was the dinner she was preparing for him.

Edward was only the young wizard who left the tower for the first time. He grew up in the tower, and this was the first time he saw such a person whom he liked very much and was familiar with and valued, die in front of him.

Seeing Hathaway dying with a smile on her face, like a delicate flower suddenly withering, Edward suddenly felt a sour taste along his chest and straight to his nose and eyes, and he was a little at a loss.

Edward wanted to move forward, but he couldn't stop all of a sudden. He fell to the ground and stood up. As if he had lost his soul, he walked crookedly in front of Hathaway, and knelt down on Hathaway's side. before.

For more than half a month, Hathaway has been taking care of her. Edward is very fond of this humble but hardworking and kind-hearted girl. After her father disappeared, she relied on her own work to support her two younger brothers.

Like Hathaway's young Mu Ai, Edward is just an ignorant boy, he pursues Adenos desperately, just for the friendship and brotherhood that he couldn't let go of.

Edward held Hathaway's face, and finally lowered his head and couldn't help sobbing, crying like a child. At this time, Tucker, who was standing aside earlier than Edward, patted Edward's shoulder and could only sigh Said in a tone: "Congratulations!"

Edward noticed that there was a line of words on the table next to him, which was formed by the traces of a fire: "Leave immediately!"

That was Adenos warning Edward, even killing Hathaway in order to express his determination, warning Edward in such a decisive and broken form, let him leave immediately, he will not pay attention to any feelings.

Edward hugged Hathaway's body tightly, even if it was stained with blood, he didn't care at all. He gently stroked Hathaway's eyes, looked at Hathaway's eyes, watched her close his eyes a little bit, and finally crooked fell into Edward's arms.

At the same time, Edward lowered his head deeply, all the muscles in his body stiffened, his mouth muscles trembled, and he spit out a few words tremblingly.

"Ya~de~no~si!"
