Chapter 204: Are You Worthy?
"Come back!" Seeing Macbeth disappear suddenly, Demps was not much surprised, but shouted with a black face.
"Brush!"
Macbeth reappeared on deck as abruptly as he had disappeared before.
"Haha. Macbeth looked at Demps, grinning, unserious, "Is there anything you want me to do?
I saw that Seaver, Louis, and Quinton were gone, and you yourself were badly wounded. This shows that you have provoked a very powerful person, and I still want to live for a few more years, so you still have to deal with your own affairs, and I can't help you. ”
Demps's face darkened a little, and he said loudly: "Regarding my injury, as well as the fact that Seaver, Louis, and Quinton are missing, I have solved it, so you don't have to worry." I'm asking you to help with another thing. ”
"Even, I see. Macbeth nodded, his expression slightly relaxed, but he still didn't answer, "Then you talk about it first, and I'll listen." ”
"It's very simple, I'll ask you to help escort the giant reincarnation back to the White Stone Tower. ”
"Huh?" Macbeth was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, opening his mouth to laugh, "Ha, so that's the case." You were injured, so you couldn't suppress the sea tax collectors of the various small island nations you met along the way, and you were constantly blackmailed, so you couldn't stand it anymore and had to call me to help. ”
"You just understand. Demps said expressionlessly, "You just said you wouldn't help, right?"
"Help, you can help. After all, after I complete the mission, I also have to find a way to go back to the White Stone Tower, and go back with your giant ship without delaying anything. Macbeth raised an eyebrow and said, "I have one condition, though. ”
"Conditions?"
"Well, condition. Macbeth shrugged, "As I said, I won't go back to the Whitestone Tower until I'm done with my mission." In other words, I'm not done yet. If I follow you to escort the giant ship back now, what will I do if the mission fails?
"So wait until you finish the task first?"
"Hey, it's not that simple. Macbeth narrowed his eyes and said, "You'll have to help me with the task." I'm not afraid to tell you that my mission is in Lisburn, less than two days away, which is why I came here so quickly, and I need help now. If you're hurt, you don't have to do anything. But you'll have to lend me a few of your men. ”
"I only have a handful of wizard apprentices under my command right now, and if I lend it to you, order on the ship will not be maintained. Demps spoke up, "So, I can't promise you this." ”
"Oh, don't talk about it like that. Macbeth did not give up.
"Then what do you want to ......" Demps was as he spoke, and the third-level apprentice Potter suddenly ran over with a somewhat serious expression and said a few words close to Demps's ear.
Demps stopped his voice, his face changed slightly, his eyes looked at Macbeth a little sharply, and asked, "Didn't you come by yourself?"
"Huh, what's wrong?"
"You're here with a tail!" said Demps sternly.
"Well, this is ......" Macbeth didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
Demps' face turned gloomy, and when he looked up at the sea in the distance, he saw several black dots rapidly approaching the giant ship.
The people on deck also saw this, and craned their necks to look around, as did Nancy, Richard, and Gro. After half a ring, I saw that they were three black medium-sized warships, chasing after them quickly in the wind and waves.
When they got closer, on the deck of a warship in the middle, stood a majestic old man, in his fifties, wearing a gray uniform and a long sword hanging from his waist. There was a neutral voice: "The giant ship parked in front, listen, I suspect that above you, there is a fugitive we are pursuing, he is accused of murdering the Grand Duke of our country, and I will arrest him back."
Next, we will board the ship and search, and hope that you will cooperate, or we will use strong tactics! I am not afraid to tell you that we have enough power on board to resist the wizards, and I hope you will not do anything stupid. ”
Demps on the deck of the giant ship looked at Macbeth with an ugly face.
Macbeth was still grinning, looking at Demps, as if joking, and threatening, and said slowly: "You say, if I turn around and leave directly now, and then let this warship launch an attack on the giant ship, what will be the consequences?"
Well, the giant ship should not be sunk. However, according to your current state, it should not be very easy to take out the three warships, and it will definitely pay a big price. Maybe, it will end up being a lose-lose situation. ”
When Demps heard this, his expression was a little cold, and he looked at Macbeth and said seriously: "If you really want to do this, then I would rather fight this boat of students than return to the White Stone Tower by yourself, and then tell the people above what you have done." Hmph, you deliberately murdered the students of the academy, see how the academy punishes you!"
"Oh, that's what you said. Macbeth's expression also became a little cold, "I murdered? Do you think I haven't been on a boat like yours? What I experienced when I came to the White Rock Tower, do you really think I don't know?
Trials, trials and trials. Isn't it just to make your admissions face better, try to keep the good students, and then follow the test in the name of eliminating the bad students. That's whether murder is good or not!
If you don't want a bad student, you won't be allowed on the boat in the first place. But you don't, because you need to recycle the crystals. Moreover, you would rather kill the poor student than let him stay and develop on his own, let alone let the rest of the wizarding organization get it.
Ridiculous, talk to me about morality, Demps, are you really worthy? Do you really think that people like you will have less blood on my hands than I do? Do you really think that your heart is cleaner than mine?"
When Demps listened to Macbeth's words, he didn't get angry, but calmed down, but his eyes became as cold as ice, and he looked at Macbeth and said, "I'm not talking to you about morality now, but rules." Testing behavior is the default of the White Rock Tower, and it's not just the White Rock Tower that does this, but the rest of the wizarding organizations do it to a greater or lesser extent. Unless the entire wizarding world becomes chaotic, a certain amount of control is a must. It's really chaotic, and there will be more deaths.
And if the White Stone Tower wants to survive, it needs benefits, and it needs to suppress the rest of the wizarding organizations, and you know this better than me. So some things, even if I don't do them, there are others who do them. I don't think I'm really clean, I don't think I have less blood on my hands, I just want to do what I'm supposed to do.
You are yelling at me now, showing that you are dissatisfied and angry with what happened to you? Hmph, where did your dissatisfaction and anger go when I was not hurt?!
What kind of thing are you, what contribution have you made to the White Rock Tower, and you are here to point fingers at me and the rules of the White Rock Tower!
After speaking, Demps looked directly at Macbeth, and Macbeth also looked at Demps.
The atmosphere at this moment was like a curtain, and suddenly it was tightened.
