Chapter 548: The Dangerous Shadow Waiting for an Opportunity
The sky gradually darkened.
The entire Holy City was ablaze with lights. Brand hid in the shadows and stared at the palace in front of him. He could see the Paladins in armor patrolling back and forth, wearing gorgeous clothes and waiting for the nobles to get off the carriage, talking and laughing loudly.
Walk to the red carpet as the band plays and then enter the open door.
This scene is so familiar to Brand. Once upon a time, he was one of them, but now, he can only hide in the shadows like a mouse, unable to show his face at all. Those who once cast a shadow on him
The nobles who looked at him with admiration, those who once trusted their subordinates, now see him as if they are seeing a walking plague, and they are afraid to avoid him.
But what did he do wrong?
Thinking of this, Brand clenched his fists hard.
Yes, what did he do wrong? Why must he be punished so severely? He has already lost his daughter. Isn't that enough?
That's it………
Brand raised his head again and stared coldly at everything in front of him. This time, his eyes no longer showed any confusion or hesitation, but were filled with unwavering madness.
Since the goddess has abandoned me, then... let me indulge myself for once!
Although the Holy City is very tightly defended, almost no mouse can get in. But this does not trouble Brand. As a former knight commander, he knows that there are many criss-crossing tunnels inside the Holy City. Some of these tunnels are
They are used to lead to the underground cemetery under the church, some are used to transport resources and tools, and some are used for emergency transfers. Brand is naturally very familiar with all of these, and he also knows what to do.
After all, for Brand, this couldn't be more familiar.
At the same time, in the hall, Fang Zheng stood quietly in the corner with a glass of red wine, carefully looking at the people coming in and out. Beside him, there were Hecate, Iona and Rodney. From time to time
There will be people coming to say hello to Fang Zheng, including nobles and some knights. After all, based on the power that Fang Zheng has shown so far, he can almost be regarded as the most dazzling new star on this continent. No matter what the reason, and
This young man is a good choice for establishing good relationships.
Especially some nobles who have daughters at home are extremely enthusiastic. After all, if they can get on the line with this adult, then there will be no problem at all with one or two daughters!
But unfortunately, they almost all returned without success.
This is not because of Fang Zheng himself, nor is it because of Iona and Rodney. As the leader of Tiandao Palace, Fang Zheng also knows what to say on any occasion. He is the one who is praised for his merits at this banquet. If he pulls
Wearing one face will naturally not be conducive to unity and cooperation.
And Rodney himself has a gentle personality. As long as he doesn't fight, you will never know that this cute girl is a murderer.
Even Iona just stood in front of the window in a daze, showing no intention of hindering her.
But even so, those people came and went, staying in front of Fang Zheng for no more than ten minutes at most. Even some people who originally planned to introduce their daughter shut up and retreated in the end. There was only one reason - Hecate.
The Great Imperial Witch also stood motionless next to Fang Zheng, without saying a word. He looked like a doll. However, an icy air pressure emanated from Hecate's body, so that
Those people didn't dare to stay around Fang Zheng, especially those gorgeously dressed noble ladies. They originally wanted to come up and chat with Fang Zheng, but were so frightened by Hecate's cold gaze that they couldn't say a few words and turned around.
Ran.
This girl is really...
Looking at Hecate beside him, Fang Zheng was also speechless. Ever since he finished chatting with the golden dragon girl, Hecate has been like this. He didn't say a word, just followed him and exuded a cold and low pressure. Even Yi
Oona and Rodney were both a little scared. Although Fang Zheng did reject the Golden Dragon girl's "proposal" in the end, judging from Hecate's appearance, it was completely because he wanted to launch a seal to completely remove the Golden Dragon girl from this world.
The expression of obliteration!
Fortunately, Fang Zheng stopped Hecate's further actions in time, otherwise, there would be no banquet at this moment.
But by doing this, Hecate did Fang Zheng a favor. After all, he was not in the mood to chat with others right now. Although on the surface, Fang Zheng seemed to be just leisurely and comfortable around him, but only Fang Zheng himself knew that right now
He was already in a state of complete alert. The reason was simple, because just now, when he entered the banquet hall, Fang Zheng once again felt that sudden feeling, as if his life was in danger.
Although the time was still short this time, the feeling became more vivid, as if there was a knife pressed against my back, and it was about to pierce into my body.
Because of this, Fang Zheng has almost raised his alertness to the highest level at this moment. Not only did he sit in the closest position below the Pope, but Fang Zheng also secretly applied everything from "psychic barrier" to "anti-magic aura" to himself.
Almost all of them are protective spells. Not only that, he also holds a soul stone in his hand, and Invincible is on standby at any time. In addition, Fang Zheng's right eye has also activated "future vision".
Advance in units of three seconds. In this way, Fang Zheng can see the future three seconds after every three seconds. If someone really launches a sneak attack on him, he will be able to detect it in advance and respond...
Of course, this kind of behavior is very energy-consuming. If Fang Zheng had not grown into a Time Dragon in his prime, he would not dare to play like this. Just the continuous inflow and replacement of this kind of future consciousness is enough to make an ordinary person completely crazy.
. That is to say, Fang Zheng, as a time dragon, can ignore the characteristics of time and can support it.
But even so, processing such a large amount of data is indeed a bit of a headache for Fang Zheng. If possible, he does not want to waste time in meaningless chats with those nobles.
From this point of view, Hecate did a great favor to Fang Zheng.
Time passes minute by minute.
The banquet began. According to the procedure, the Pope first gave a speech, appreciating the recovery of the Northland and commending everyone who performed outstandingly in the process of recovering the Northland. To be honest, if he didn't know the true identity of the "Pope", then maybe Fang Zheng
He didn't feel anything yet. But after learning that the "Pope" was a girl pretending to be a golden dragon, he felt awkward no matter how he heard it.
However, the Golden Dragon girl is obviously already accustomed to playing this role. She spent a lot of space praising Founder and his men for their important role in recovering the North. At the same time, she also announced a news - that is, the re-awarding of
Fang Zheng is the honorary title of Knight of the Holy Spirit, and starting from today, Fang Zheng's position will be upgraded from Grand Knight to Knight Commander, and he will be awarded the Order Spark Medal at the same time.
After receiving the medal from the priest, Fang Zheng also said some words. This was the real purpose of risking his life to come to the Holy City this time. If Fang Zheng only came to eat and drink, then of course he would not lose his life.
No. But the main goal of this banquet is to formally show the outside world the cooperative relationship between Tiandao Palace and the Kingdom of Holy Religion. In this case, it is impossible for Fang Zheng to let others come on his behalf.
Naturally, various celebrations followed, and then the dance time began. The nobles danced gracefully, while the knights raised their wine glasses and talked and laughed loudly. The melodious music echoed in the hall. No matter how you look at it, this is a scene.
Calm and peaceful look.
Is it really because I am mentally allergic?
Looking at the lively dance floor in front of him, Fang Zheng also felt a little confused, but even so, he still had no intention of relaxing his vigilance. Fang Zheng knew very well that many times, danger often comes from the moment you relax your vigilance, so he has decided
, he will remain in this state until he returns to his room in Tiandao Palace - after all, life is the most important thing.
However... I don't know if it was a malicious joke played by fate on Fang Zheng, but until the end of the banquet, he was not attacked in any way.
But even so, Fang Zheng did not let down his guard. After saying goodbye to Sister Jinlong, he and Bishop Karl walked towards the airport.
"Everything is normal inside the Holy City and there are no problems."
Bishop Karl also shook his head.
"We have not found any external intruders, and there are no signs of the barrier being breached."
"Sorry, maybe I'm neurotic. Maybe I should find time to see a doctor."
Fang Zheng also felt a little sorry that he had made Bishop Carl tired for so long. After all, the old bishop should have been fooling around leisurely in the banquet hall, but because of his warning, he personally took charge of the security of the banquet. This made Fang Zheng feel a little sorry.
Fang Zheng also had to apologize to the other party.
"It's nothing. After all, it would be better if nothing happens... Then, be careful along the way, Mr. Fangzheng."
"OK."
Arriving at the airport terminal, Fang Zheng nodded to Bishop Karl, and then walked towards the platform at the end of the airport. Seeing the arrival of everyone, the paladin who was standing there in charge of guard also lowered his head and bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng and others.
But at this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly felt a pain in his right eye, and then the future he observed in three seconds with his right eye became fragmented at this moment!
not good!
Although he didn't know what was going on, Fang Zheng, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately jumped back!
At this moment, a paladin on the left side in front of Fang Zheng suddenly raised his head. Then he looked at Fang Zheng and showed a ferocious smile. Then, Fang Zheng saw the paladin take out a weapon from his waist.
He picked up the dagger and then suddenly pulled it out of its sheath!
And the moment he saw the dagger unsheathed, the world around Fang Zheng suddenly changed!
