Chapter 418: Meeting Ceremony
Adelina's words instantly made the atmosphere of the entire laboratory cold and solidify. The incandescent magic lights embedded in the ceiling seemed to be disturbed by some kind of interference and became light and dark. The spiral blades of the ventilation ducts were still rustling, but they could not expel the tension and depression that surged in the air. £∝
Xia Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes gathered on Donnathushu and Magnison in the corner, and a strong murderous aura radiated from her body. When she let Clara go, he expected that things might not develop smoothly according to her ideal script. The bloody warning was just a layer of insurance shackles. When ordinary people faced this situation, they had only two choices, either because they had no choice, or because they were forced to accept it or were unwilling to struggle to rebel, while Clara chose the latter without hesitation.
He didn't like this result, so he was very angry.
Donnashe stood up slowly, and there was no fear on his firm and cold face. He just put his hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist, but he betrayed his true state of mind. He knew what a terrifying enemy he was facing. Once he could not suppress the anger of the other party, there was no doubt that he would die, and Master Magnison would die, but he could not retreat or escape, otherwise, they would lose the only hope of living.
"You two, please do not misunderstand. Although we have indeed violated your warning, this is our forced self-protection behavior. If you leave here in accordance with your promise, we will never have any conflict with you."
"Misunderstanding? I don't believe we have any misunderstandings with each other." Xia Lan moved her freshman's delicate wrist and glanced at Donnathushu coldly. He came to Adelina and stretched out his hand. He said, "Ring."
Adelina's little hand shook. A silver ring suddenly fell on the palm of his hand. She gently put on his familiar ring, and saw a slight flash, and an ancient long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Two Your Excellencies, are you planning to break your promise?" Donnaxiu stared at Xia Lan's actions, his body tensed all over, and his hands holding the hilt of the sword around his waist were a little tightened.
"If you are willing to leave with us as hostages, otherwise I will not believe you." Xia Lan waved her sword at will, as if she was adapting to the newborn's grasp of the sword with both hands, but unfortunately the result was a bit unsatisfactory. With strength and flexibility alone, I am afraid that it is not even one-tenth of his peak state.
He was not depressed, after all, this was something he had expected.
"Hostage? No problem."
Surprisingly, Donnashu easily agreed to Xia Lan's coercion because he clearly realized that the negotiations between the two were unequal from the beginning, and they were at a disadvantage and had no right to bargain. Even though they invited the bigwigs of the Holy Hui Cathedral to help, as long as they were still in this laboratory, their life and death would be unruly themselves.
Putting himself in his shoes, how would he view them if he stood from Xia Lan's perspective? It's very simple. No one would be willing to place his safety on others.
Trust is two-sided, and they are willing to take the lead in getting each other's trust.
"Adelina. Keep a close eye on them. If you find that they have any abnormal movements, you can kill them without asking for instructions."
Xia Lan slowly walked towards the desk, bent over and picked up the unconscious Winnie on the ground. He turned his head and glanced at Donnashe, threw down this sentence and walked towards the door of the laboratory.
"My friend, don't forget your promise."
After all, things went in the direction he least wanted to see. The old man sighed and reminded Xia Lan helplessly and sadly.
"I have spared him once because of your kindness to help me reshape my hands, but there is a bottom line for promises. If they dare to violate my bottom line again, then don't blame me for not keeping my promise." Xia Lan paused, and then disappeared into the laboratory without looking back.
"Magnison, in the future, please take care of yourself."
The old man looked at Magnison who was about to leave the laboratory under the escort of Adrina, and his figure gradually began to blur and dim. This was his farewell, his last farewell.
"teacher……"
Magnison looked at the old man with a complicated expression, grateful, resentment, sadness? He didn't know, really didn't know.
As his enlightenment mentor on the road of alchemy, he will never forget his meticulous teachings over the years. It can even be said that without the teacher, he would not have achieved the brilliant achievements he has today.
In that experimental accident many years ago, why did the teacher who should have died come to him for asylum? It’s very simple, because the teacher believes in him, and he also adheres to the great risk of taking in the teacher.
High risks are accompanied by high returns, and Magnison gradually reached the peak of the alchemy path with the help of his teacher. However, in this process, he began to be greedy for vanity, arrogant, hypocritical and snobbish. When a person's thoughts change, his behavior will also change.
But is he wrong? Aren’t people in this world like this? People pursue power, money, fame and fortune in life. They are not ancient sages, and they are perfect in morality. They are just loyal to their own lords.
However, the teacher thought he was wrong, so the teacher "betrayed" him severely.
Pain, sadness, sorrow, and mixed feelings.
Perhaps, he vaguely guessed what the teacher wanted to convey, but he did not accept it! Because he always thought he was right!
...
"Captain, they are coming up."
Auston leaned against the wall of the corridor with his hands in his arms, looked up at the clear and bright sky outside the window, with a calm and calm face. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he stretched out his waist and arms, picked up a cross sword beside him, and a sneer curled up the corner of his mouth and murmured: "It's really a disgusting and nauseating smell. Is it really a remnant that subverts the fangs?"
"Captain Knight, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the enemy's strength should not be underestimated. Besides, Master Magnison is still in their hands. Please be careful." The subordinate Knight of the Holy Tribe said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility." Auston walked towards the laboratory room with the cross sword, "How is the deployment?"
"Report to the Knight Captain, Fenechi, Caruana, and Glendo, all have completed the alert arrangement, and it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to escape from our siege." said the subordinate.
"Absolutely? Evron, it seems that it is not me who despises them, but you." Auston said with a blank expression: "The evil power radiates from inside is a faint palpitation. If the other party wants to kill you, I can guarantee that it will not take three minutes, and you who sacrificed your faith."
"Captain Knight, is the heresy inside really as powerful as you said?" The subordinate said in disbelief.
"It's not that the other party is strong, but that you are too weak."
Auston snorted coldly, and the cross sword in his hand suddenly swung toward the room in front of him. A strong shock wave with golden light penetrated through the front in an instant, and a huge and terrifying passage appeared as the bricks and gravels scattered.
"So, you just need to be at ease against another vulnerable guy, and this heresy is left to me to deal with."
Auston's great sword pointed at a vague figure in the smoke and dust ahead, and said with a cold look.
"Sir Auston Knight!! Please don't do it!"
At this time, Donnathue's anxious shout came from the room that was almost flat.
When Xia Lan was carefully sensing and guarding against the enemies around her, who knew that he had just stepped out of the hole and encountered a sudden terrifying attack from the enemy. If Edelina had not broken through the surface and resisted him at the critical moment, he would have died completely in this attack.
So you can imagine how angry and scared Xia Lan was, who survived from death!
Donnashe, walking in the ladder passage, naturally felt the violent movement above. He did not expect that the people of the Holy Ray Cathedral would launch an attack directly, which completely violated their plan that they had agreed in advance! Do they not care about the safety of Master Magnison's life?
In desperation, Donnashe could no longer suppress the panic in his heart and rushed to the surface and shouted loudly.
"Adelina, hold this man!"
Xia Lan quickly calmed down and ordered Adelina to control Donnathus's life. He immediately dragged Magnison down the stairs and pressed him to the ground.
"Captain Auston!! What are you doing?! Don't you know that Master Magnison's life is still in their hands? Why are you going against our plan?!" Donnathusch ignored the threat of Adrina's sword edge, but shouted directly at a majestic figure emerging in front of him.
"Sorry, this is just a small meeting gift I gave them." Auston didn't look at Donnathue at all, because his eyes were always on Adrina.
"Meeting gift? Maybe I need to give you a meeting gift, too."
Xia Lan's expression turned cold, and the long sword in her hand instantly stabbed into Magnison under her feet.
ah--
A painful scream immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the field.
"Your Excellency! Please calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
When Donnathusu saw the sword stabbed into Magnison's back, he stood up with a cold hair.
"I'm not the one who needs calmness."
Xia Lan's long sword was drawn out, and then stabbed Magnison's body again!
"No!" Donnathus cried in horror.
"A pretty simple and clean sword technique."
Auston seemed to care about Magnison's injury, but instead turned his attention to Xia Lan meaningfully.
The Holy Hall of Glory
Xia Lan stared at Auston, who was in a majestic shape in front of her, and observed the faint figure floating around her eyes without any trace. The aura she showed on the other party could easily determine their identity. Unexpectedly, the person Clara invited was them!!
