Chapter 86: The Red Ritual (40)
"Aren't you afraid that I won't keep my promise?"
Safasky stood in silence and looked at Qing who was about to leave, and he was helpless in the face of Qing. He admits that he is not Qing's opponent, since they met, he has not accurately grasped Guo Qing's mind, just like the fiasco not long ago, he has been led by Qing by the nose and can't find the direction at all! Although it was a forced alliance that made him feel bad, Safsky could not resist. Although he knew that he was in an alliance state now, Qing probably wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary, so he could still do it if he didn't go too far, at least choking Qing.
"Hehehe~~"
He was greeted by a chuckle from Qing, who was standing by the door, and Qing reached out and pointed to a spot in the inner hall, motioning for Safasky to look.
βοΌβ
Safasky's appearance was a look of surprise in Qing's eyes, maybe he had never noticed that little warmth.
The golden and splendid inner hall looks noble and elegant against the backdrop of various luxury goods, but this expensiveness hides the coldness and loneliness. This is the whole sense, but in this huge empty room there is a 'little flower'. One is like a child's graffiti, or rather, a child's graffiti! There are three people drawn on it, one adult holding the hands of two small people, the adult is like a woman with long hair, she has a big smile, and the little person next to her is a little blurry, as if she has often been touched. The two villains are a man and a woman, respectively, and the man's face is drawn stiffly, like a stone. And the painting of that woman can already be called completely blurred.
"Spend more time with your daughter, I think she will be happy! She needs you. β
γBangγ
Qing walked out of the door and gently closed the door, leaving inside an incompetent father who had been watching the painting.
"Protection----- hehehe~~"
Qing walked down the road to the outer hall and walked towards the prison where the slaves were held. It is completely in the opposite direction to Fuhua's inner hall, and the current prison room should have been liberated, and people who are worse than death can finally leave the cold cage and live bravely towards the rising sun with a smile again!
After a while, Qing walked to the gate of the prison and wanted to reach out to open the door, but Qing hesitated. Qing was afraid that the scene inside would be the same sad as before, but he was thrown out of his mind by Qing! I was afraid! But it doesn't mean that you will always sink in the swamp, you should abandon fear and face all crises without fear!
Now that you've figured it out, there's no need to hesitate! Qing slowly pushed open the door to the prison cell.
γSqueak Quack~~~~γ
The heavy iron door was pushed open, this is the second time Qing has come here, different people who open the door, different attitudes to get along. The true face of the slave ghetto is once again revealed in front of Qing!
Contrary to the dead silence of the past, it is now full of life! The lively and gentle atmosphere permeated the originally mournful space, and the uncomfortable feeling was completely gone!
"Angel!"
Qing swept past the slaves who had come out of the cage, and at a glance Qing saw Angel and the man who were distributing food, and waved her hand happily at them! Some of the other scouts bandaged the wounds of the afflicted, while others were tidying up the blood-stained ground. It is estimated that in a while, people will be officially placed here to rest!
"Mr. Qing! We're here! β
Angel heard Qing's shout, raised his head to look for a moment, and finally locked onto the beautiful arm-waving figure at the door.
And Qing also ran over happily after Angel responded, and Qing was very happy to see the new look here! People can finally have their own lives, and no longer need to live in cages without thoughts!
"What's wrong, Angel? You've got it done here, right? How many people were injured by the scouts?! β
As soon as Qing came to Angel's side, he immediately asked about the situation of the scout troops, and Qing was very worried about whether these people were safe!
"----- brothers ---- 60 people came back--- we also investigated the others, and the remaining 40 people ---- all killed-----
Angel, who was still happily distributing food, was visibly silent after listening to Qing's question.
"Sorry--- Angel I shouldn't have asked this----- I just ---- I just ---"
"It's not your responsibility! It's mine---- you don't have to point fingers at yourself, you did what you had to do, and you sacrificed a lot for it. You have no reason to blame yourself, you should blame me for being an incompetent commander."
Angel saw Qing who blamed himself, although he and Qing had only known each other for about a day since they met, but he finally saw from Qing's words and deeds that Qing was a very conceited person! Although Qing usually seems to be very casual and upright, he can clearly see the slightest conceit in his years of experience as a leader. So he took all the blame on himself and smeared the sludge all over his face!
"Your Excellency Gungnir, please forgive me for my previous waywardness! I shouldn't have been so headstrong, or you wouldn't have been threatened! β
The members of Hill and Qing ran over to apologize after seeing Qing, and the embarrassed Qing took the time to look at Angel on the side, and Angel also smiled and shrugged his shoulders to signal that Qing should do what he wanted.
"You guys--------- hum hum~ I'll accept your apology! But that doesn't mean it's over! We have an even bigger battle to fight, and although I won't be leading the team this time, please live to digest these apologies! β
Qing wanted to deny their apology at first, because what they did didn't need to apologize to Qing at all, and Qing herself was also responsible here, and it wasn't all their fault at all! But Qing saw their sincerity, and Qing swallowed his words back.
[Smack! γ
Angel clapped his hands to ease all the calm atmosphere, and his big smile signaled that everyone should be happy!
"Today is our day of victory! Our friends may be gone, but we shouldn't grieve! We should rejoice in their faith that victory is coming, so that their souls can see in heaven that their efforts are bearing fruit! Let them no longer leave with a sigh! So we should celebrate! Celebrate our victory! β
"Okay! Let's get ready! Your Excellency, when are you going to start the feast? β
Hill answered and prepared the materials for the banquet, but Qing, who was the biggest hero, would ask Qing's opinion to arrange it!
"I'm sorry---- I may not be able to attend the celebration party, the next step is not far off, and I will enter Niedersaxenburg overnight tonight to investigate. So, sorry ----"
"Does Mr. Qing really want to be so fast? Maybe we can take a break -----"
Angel saw that Qing was going to act immediately, and he was a little worried that Qing would not be in a hurry, so he wanted Qing to have some rest.
"No! The plan has begun, and you may have time, but I must be prepared! I can't afford to make a mistake! β
Qing's refusal is very firm! I can't let my momentary laziness bury the victory I've won! There must be no special circumstances in the plan set by the Green Institute! So Qing must enter Niedersaxenburg to investigate all the intel!
"Yes---- En~~ Then the celebration banquet is tonight! Please enter after the dinner, you should have no problem, right? β
"Hmm------"
Qing lowered her head and groaned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
"Alright! Tonight, tonight! I was going to go in at night! β
Qing chuckled and replied, maybe it's a good thing to be able to have a carnival before leaving! But I probably won't stay long, because I'm still taking someone with me.
Qing thought about looking at the man who had been bandaging the injured people on the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. Your dream, I will help you to complete it together, I will wield the blade in my hand to cut through the night, and let the dawn shine on this friend who has been suffering silently! I swear to abide by the knight's treaty to preserve my friend's dreams!
"Do you have anything to say to him?"
Angel asked when she saw the man Qing was looking at. And Qing just smiled and shook his head, the joy of victory always made Qing unable to let go of the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Nope. Let him feel the victory here for a while, after all, hatred has tormented him for so many years. Perhaps this joy will allow him to keep his inner thoughts in the near future-----"
Qing fell silent, looking at these people who were smiling again, the pain also tormented them, and compared to him, they could live with this smile forever.
"Then, I'm also going to distribute food, after all, I can't be lazy alone, I need a piece of my strength here!"
"Then me! ------β
Qing Gang wanted to stand up and distribute the food together, but Qing was pressed down by Angel.
"You can rest here! After all, this battle should consume you a lot, so please rest in peace, wait for the dinner party to start, or go and change into a decent outfit! After all, you are our hero! I'm not going to let our heroes follow us and steal our business! Hahaha"
Angel pointed to Ao's bloodstained leather armor, signaled that Qing should change her clothes, and left laughing. And Qing looked at his clothes, although there were no torn clothes, but the blood stains were extremely oozing! It's no wonder that the little girl didn't feel a step closer to Qing, it turned out that her own appearance scared him!
"Good! Then go get a change of clothes! β
Qing said as she wiped the blood-stained leather armor indiscriminately, making it no longer look like it was wrapped in blood. Leather armor, who looked okay, nodded, and prepared to leave the slave area and go to the grocery area to buy some clothes. It just so happened that the clothes that he and Egger had prepared were almost exhausted!
"That Mr. Qing--- Angel told me to follow you, are you ready to start planning now? -------------β
