Chapter Seventy-Eight: Betrayal
"It's better for outsiders not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Shadow Hand. Grace said, "However, Lord Cruel, don't forget the instructions of the Elder Adult, the captain of the Shadow Hand must be maintained at least four people. ā
"Of course, of course. With a cruel and innocent smile, he glanced at the wound of enthusiasm, and then looked at the indulgence of his fingers tapping on the arm of the chair despite his calm expression, and said very shyly: "Actually, you don't need to be in a hurry at all, what can't you sit down and talk about slowly?"
The cyan veins on the back of her indulgent hand jerked, and she pressed the armrest of the chair tightly, but before she could make a move, a blood-stained hand pressed against her leg. Enthusiasm shook his head slightly, stopping her slightly impulsive attack preparations. The corners of his indulgent eyes twitched, and his whole body tightened.
Cruel's face was full of smiles, and he pointed to the food on the table and said: "This is the food that Joseph specially invited our top chef in the city, Mr. Camiller, to prepare for seven days, if you don't taste it, I'm really sorry for Mr. Camiller's heart." ā
Before, because there was a constant state of fighting, no one went back to care about the food on the table, and it was only after the pace slowed down that it was discovered that the table was indeed full of food, and even after nearly an hour of sitting, it still maintained its attractive color and ā, wā”ww. smell, enough to make any hungry person crazy. Although the previous two instantaneous battles were fierce, the unique combat characteristics of the thief profession made the items on the table not damaged at all, and even the blood gushing around them did not splash on the table.
Cruel like a diligent master, he pointed to the food on the table and introduced to several people whose faces were stiff: "This is from the deep sea of the Sea of Mist, only the deep sea tribe can catch the five pieces of fat from the belly of the light dolphin, carefully pickled with special ingredients, spread on the permafrost stone collected from the permafrost ice field. For this dish, at least ten light dolphins will be used. I can't think of any other place where you can enjoy such a delicacy except for our sinless city. Enthusiastic adults, indulgent adults, the light dolphin is not only delicious, but also very helpful for wound healing, do you want to try it?"
"Thank you for your kindness. At this time, his expression had regained his usual composure, and a coquettish smile bloomed, and his watery gaze swept over his cruel face: "However, there is no need for the time being. What a pity. It would be a shame to know that there were so many delicacies today, and I didn't eat before I went out. ā
"Hmph. Enthusiastic face turned pale, large drops of sweat converged along the beautiful curve of the cheeks to the delicate chin, strands of sweat-soaked hair stuck to the white face, and the originally cold and resolute face became particularly pitiful under the serious injury. But even so, even though every breath would cause the wound to produce a sharp pain like tearing, the enthusiastic eyes were still cold and full of mockery, and snorted disdainfully: "Stupid." ā
Cruel and generous smile. Tolerant of the attitude of the two like victors, he continued to point to the food on the table and said, "And this, the mountain rats in the cave of the mountain country will be exceptionally powerful for every ten thousand. Of course, being strong is only in the case of mountain rats. The flesh of this mountain rat is very tough, and with the wing meat of the lightning falcon, which is a specialty of the Warcraft jungle, it can give off a very rich aroma. But these two types of meat are too tough due to their toughness. It is difficult for humans to eat, so it must be mixed with narrow feather grass that can only be seen in the depths of the forest to be counted as a rare delicacy in the world. What do you think. Suspicious adults, crazy adults, are you interested in tasting it?"
"Of course. Suspiciously leaned over and moved the plate on the table, but it obviously affected the wound, the muscles on his face trembled, and he leaned back in his chair and gasped: "It seems that you need to trouble the cruel lord, you can help divide the meal." ā
"My pleasure. "The cutlery used to divide the meal in the cruel hand moves very slowly, slowly reaching into the plate, slowly picking up the food, and slowly delivering it to the suspicious plate. Such a simple action took nearly three minutes to complete. During this period, the suspicious gaze has been staring directly at the cruel hand, and the cruel himself has been drooping his eyelids all the time, as if no one is looking. Until the action of dividing the meal was over, Duozhi suddenly coughed violently, and the muscles of his arms involuntarily trembled due to excessive exertion, and his face became even more ugly. And the cruel smile seemed to be a little reluctant, but he still insisted and said, "What about the crazy adult?"
"I'm exempt. Crazy eyes looked at the ceiling, fingers writhed unconsciously, and said in a wooden tone: "You eat, when I don't save zĆ i, it's okay." ā
"Well, if that's your choice, my lord. Cruel finally turned his gaze to gentlemanly elegance: "What about Graceful Lord, are you interested in having a little bit?"
"You should know. Grace looked a little dissatisfied, but still maintained an elegant demeanor: "I never eat these, I only eat the food I brought, why do you still ask me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Cruel smiled faintly: "I forgot about it for a while." ā
"You people, you are so cruel. Grace sighed, the expression on her face became a little melancholy, and she said with a straight face: "Birds, beasts, insects, aquatic products, plants, fungi, these are all gifts from Lord Yara to this world, they are all miracles of life, and they are all the greatest miracles. But look at you, in order to kill and destroy them endlessly? As a human being, although I cannot prevent intelligent beings from desecrating and destroying the world and life, I can at least start from doing something to myself and not harm these fragile beings. ā
As he spoke, he elegantly opened the leather handbag he carried with him and took out a flat lunch box, which faintly exuded magic fluctuations, which should be engraved with a magic circle for freshness and heat preservation. When he opened the lunch box, there were four pieces of boiled meat in the box, and he elegantly poured the meat pieces into the dinner plate, twisted the knife and fork gracefully, and persuaded everyone around him: "Seriously, I hope that each of you can be like me, cherish the animals and plants around you, cherish every life, and stop being the enemy of the world." ā
"But. Madness pointed to the black mandala flower on the elegant chest: "Elegant lord, the flower on your chest ......"
"This kid. "Put down the knife and fork gracefully. Gently stroking the mandala petals on his chest, gently like caressing a lover's cheek: "This child has exhausted its life three months ago, but I can't bear it to leave me like this, so I try my best to continue its life, but now it has reached its limit, before it leaves, I want to witness the glory one last time, so I brought it and asked him to accompany me as a witness." ā
Obviously very gentle, obviously very elegant. But everyone present felt an inexplicable chill rise in their hearts for no reason, and their faces were a little stiff. Grace ignored the awkward atmosphere, calmly picked up the cutlery again, cut off a piece of meat that looked very tender with the most standard etiquette, put it in his mouth and closed his eyes intoxicated to taste it. After a long time, he reopened his eyes and said: "Every time I eat, I think that I have destroyed another enemy of life, and I have saved countless fragile lives, and this sense of accomplishment and glory is simply irresistible. ā
Dead. No one spoke, and everyone looked strangely away from the elegance of the meal, not even wanting to look at it.
Nearly ten minutes had passed since the lights had come back on, and Catherine had watched from afar as her enthusiasm grew weaker and weaker. I tried to grit my teeth and walk over several times, but each time I was stopped by Pannis's shoulder. When she was stopped for the last time, Pannis whispered, "Leave it to me, you don't know the rules of the game between thieves." ā
"I'm sorry. Catherine looked down in embarrassment. She could also see that Pannis didn't want to get too involved in the battle in front of her.
"No, it's almost now. Pannis patted Catherine on the shoulder: "I will take the debt for you." ā
Catherine looked up. Bright smile: "Thank you, Pannis." ā
Pannis winked at Moore, who gave him a thumbs up and took out a gleaming arrow and placed it on the string. Pannis nodded, and walked towards the captain's seat with his hands behind his back.
"What are you secretly eating?" Pannis grinned and walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down directly opposite the elegant, and unceremoniously added a spoonful of the cruel braised lightning falcon wings from the mountain rat leg that he had just kindly recommended, forked a large piece of falcon wing meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and exclaimed vaguely: "It tastes so good, it's really good." ā
The rest of the captains had some weirdness in their eyes, glancing at Moore with arrows in the distance, and then at Pannis, no one could guess their thoughts. Only Cruel stared at Pannis's face with an indifferent gaze, and said in a cold voice: "I just said it, the affairs of the Shadow Hand, outsiders had better stay away." ā
"Who cares about the affairs of your shadow hand. Pannis stuffed another piece of rat leg meat, and said disdainfully: "I'm here to ask for a debt, it's your people who attract the puppets to attack us, hehe, the debt should be repaid." ā
As he spoke, Pannis's murderous intent was revealed, pointing directly at cruelty, and the cruel subconscious body shrank back. At this moment when he was distracted, a dagger silently plunged into the cruel waist and abdomen from the side, fortunately the cruel had already taken precautions, and pulled out the weapon in time to block, so that he was not seriously injured, but still left a deep blood groove on his waist. Cruel was about to launch a counterattack against the attacker, but the attacker turned around the table and flashed behind the indulgence, only to see that the attacker was crazy with a calm smile.
"I'm sorry, Lord Cruel. He smiled madly and said, "I think their accusations are more credible than your claims." ā
Cruel raised his eyebrows, and slowly put away the dagger in his hand: "It seems that you have finally made a choice, but what about Lord Grace." ā
"As I said, I'm just here to be a witness. Grace said gently and elegantly: "It's just a testimony." ā
"Huh. With an indulgent smile, he pulled out his chair and slowly stood up, leaning over to look directly at the cruelty across the table: "The form seems to have been reversed, Lord Cruel." ā
The expression on the cruel face changed, and after a long silence, he sighed, sat down, stared at the dagger in his hand with blank eyes, and said nothing, this indulgence finally revealed the smile of the victor.
Then she fell down and threw herself on the dining table, a dagger plunged into her waist from behind, cutting off her lumbar vertebrae.
"You've been fooled, indulgence. The crazy figure flashed again, reappeared beside the cruel man, and said with a foolish smile: "How can I betray the covenant with the cruel adult, after all, the cruel adult can bring me so much happiness." ā
