Chapter 971: Ghost Talent?
"Why stay?" Brando asked, looking at Sid.
Sid looked up at Brando and said, "It's simple, someone needs to protect the wounded." ”
"Then why the two of us?" Brando continued.
He wasn't stupid, and he knew very well that it would be safer to follow along than to stay. After all, once you stay and encounter your pursuers, you will be dead.
Richard was also puzzled, he and Brando, as wizard apprentices, could play a greater role in following the action, and if they stayed, it would only be a waste of combat power, and West Germany should not understand this. And if the other party understands why he is doing this, does the other party realize that he has another purpose? However, he has not exposed any flaws......
Richard pondered in his heart, and Brando spoke again, continuing towards Sid: "I think it is necessary to leave people to protect the wounded, but obviously there is a better choice than the two of us, right?
Besides, the two of us were supposed to protect Miss Anne, which was one of the conditions for us to serve the Pombo family. You're keeping the two of us here now, and I feel like I have the right to refuse. ”
"So, you're going to follow along, to find backup?" asked Sid in a deep voice, looking at Brando.
"Of course. "Unless you can give me a reason not to refuse." ”
"Well, since you want it, I'll give it to you. Sid took a few steps closer and stared straight at Brando, "I suspect you might be a spy, so I don't want to take you to find support and reveal your last hole cards, so I want to keep you here." ”
"I, ...... Spy?" Brando's eyes widened for a moment, barely catching his breath.
Richard next to him couldn't help but be stunned, a little stunned, he didn't expect that the reason why he was left behind was because West Germany would suspect that Brando was a spy, and he was victimized by the pond fish.
"Why do you say I'm a spy!" After being stunned, Brando, who reacted, became angry and shouted, "What reason do you have to say that I am a spy!
"I'll tell you why. Sid said coldly, "First, the root cause of this rebellion is the wizard apprentice who was recruited with you, and one of them named Fordin assassinated the head of the family, Mr. Donus. Therefore, I have every reason to suspect that there may be other people with ulterior motives hidden in your group of wizard apprentices, so I have to guard against it.
Second, when you said that there was support, your reaction was too excited, more than the rest of the people. I suspect that you may have been waiting for this to happen so that you could go to Manor Six and do something you had planned.
Thirdly, and most importantly, from the previous battle, to the breakout, to the present, there are two people in our entire team who have not been harmed. One is Miss Anne, and the other is you.
Miss Anne was not injured because everyone was protecting her. Even though I have been taught a lesson by Miss Anne, I am still loyal to the Pombo family in my heart, and I am still willing to use my body to help Miss Anne resist attacks.
And you, who would do this for you? If no one wants to do this for you, why are you a wizard apprentice who is not hurt at all? You turn your head to look at the boy next to you, who is also a wizard apprentice, half of his body is covered in blood, and his face is white. And you, except for panting a little, your face looks better than anyone else, and you don't even have a single blood spot on your body, how can you explain it?
So, I very much suspect that you are a spy, hiding your strength, hiding in the team and planning something. That's why I let you stay, and let another wizard apprentice stay with you to guard against you. ”
After listening to a long passage from West Germany, Brando opened his mouth and was speechless.
In any case, it is an ironclad fact that he did not suffer any injuries. But this is obviously a proof of his outstanding strength, quick reaction, and excellent ability, how did he become a suspicion of a spy?
He stared at West Germany, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Richard on the side looked at it and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, feeling a little weird.
To be honest, the logic of West Germany's speculation is not rigorous, but in this wrong way, the correct result is speculated.
In addition, although West Germany suspected the wrong target and thought that Brando was a spy, he succeeded in involving the correct target, and made him stop the plan.
What the hell is this?
The corners of Richard's mouth twitched slightly.
After a few seconds, Brando couldn't swallow the suspicion, so he simply broke the jar, looked at Sid and said, "You said I was a spy, right? But what you said before was just speculation, speculation, no evidence." If you have evidence, I'll admit it, and you can kill me. But if you can't get it, you have to apologize to me and stop slandering me!"
"Evidence, hum!" Sid said in a nasal voice of disdain, looking at Brando like a fool, "You think this is a noble court, and you still want evidence? If I had evidence, I would have disposed of you a long time ago, and I still talked nonsense with you?" It is precisely because there is no evidence, that I can't confirm it, I just keep my guard against you and let you stay here with another wizard apprentice. ”
"But......" Brando was anxious.
Sid didn't want to waste any more time, so he waved his hand to interrupt Brando's words, and said solemnly to Brando: "Okay! That's it, obey the order, you and another wizard apprentice will stay here to protect the wounded, and the rest of us will leave to find support."
If you are not a spy, you will be cleared after this incident. If you're a spy and want to make a small move and want to sneak up on you, then don't blame me for being rude. As a knight in the Seven Patterns Demon Suit, although I am injured and have some difficulty dealing with official wizards, I have no problem dealing with you as a wizard apprentice. ”
After speaking, Sid turned around and led a group of men who were still fighting to protect the eldest lady Anne and walked out of the woods.
Looking at the West German group going away, Brando's expression was distorted, as if he had been castrated. Keep pacing in place, thinking about ways to prove your innocence.
Richard glanced at Brando, and thought to himself, if there was any way to cleverly remedy the interrupted plan. Or simply stop pretending and act with your identity completely exposed?
Seriously, now that it has been determined that the knights in costume near Manor Six are no longer loyal to the Pombo family, he can go directly to Manor Six to meet Aaron Pombo without worrying about being dragged into a protracted war.
The only thing to consider is the way to get into the underground chamber to meet Alan Pombal.
If it is a little rougher, you can directly dig a hole from the ground down and enter vertically, but it will not take too little time, after all, the soil above the secret room is dozens of meters.
If you are clever and enter through the Demon Gate, then you must have a key to enter, that is, someone who can pass the Demon Gate verification. According to the previous out-of-body observations, the old servants in the manor are okay, and Anne Pombo should be okay too. But I don't know if the two can cooperate under duress. Maybe it's safer to control two people together......
Richard pondered, and suddenly saw Brando on the side move, as if he had come up with a way to prove his innocence. The other party's eyes lit up, and he quickly chased after the West German group, and said loudly while chasing:
"Wait a minute, I have a way to prove that I'm not a spy, I have a way to ......"
At this time, Sid, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, shook his hand violently behind his back, and threw out the broken demonic long sword. The broken sword flew out like lightning and shot straight at Brando, who was startled and tried to dodge, but was a beat too slow.
"Poof!"
With a bang, blood rushed out, and the broken sword plunged straight into Brando's body.
Brando's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened, and he looked at West Germany in disbelief.
At this time, West Germany slowly turned his head, and also looked at Brando, his expression indifferent.
