Leonard suddenly roared, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Important! In order to appease the anger of other countries, I had to fucking push my brother, the hero who saved the world, to beheaded in front of everyone!!"
Luke's hand trembled slightly...
But soon enough, he laughed.
"Can you quell the flames of war?"
"I mean, can my death quell the flames of war?"
Leonard didn't speak, only Luke's voice slowly rang out in the brightly lit cell.
"Can and can't."
"My death can only solve part of the problem, and the rest needs to be revived and paid for by the emperor..."
"But even so, I really should pull it out and behead it."
"After all, I did fall for Velen's tricks."
"I and the First Army did make an unforgivable mistake."
As Luke talked, he slowly stopped talking.
Because when he raised his head again, he suddenly found that the light in the room was dim, and it dimmed a lot unconsciously.
Leonard on the opposite side of the dining table, as well as the queen and prince on the side, remained motionless in their postures of pouring wine or serving dishes, and the entire space seemed to be frozen.
The only one who could move was Luke... But Luke didn't panic, he just drank the wine in his glass slowly, and smiled as if talking to himself: "So, you heard the news?"
A voice came from the side.
"Yes, after all, the fact that you are going to be executed is quite a big mess."
Lu Ming's figure quietly appeared beside Luke.
Lowering his head, he glanced at the man beside him, and then at Leonard who was sitting in the main seat. After a while, Lu Ming spoke.
"I thought your emperor had a serious illness, but after hearing your conversation just now, it seems to be different from what I imagined."
Luke shrugged slightly.
"Whether the intention is good or bad, it is an indisputable fact that the army slaughtered civilians. This crime can only be paid for with blood, so, no matter from any angle, I must die."
After speaking, Luke handed the bottle to Lu Ming.
"You came this time...can't be to save me?"
Lu Ming thought about it, put it down and sat aside, and nodded calmly.
"I did want to save you."
"why?"
"Because you're a fool..."
Yes.
Because he was a cute fool, and it happened that Lu Ming was capable enough to save this fool's life... Then why didn't he do it?
But from Luke's tone, Lu Ming found a problem.
"I said, if you're in trouble, you can come to me. But you didn't this time."
"So, I seem to be a little sentimental."
Luke smiled: "Although it is true, I still want to say thank you to you."
"Save me, it will save me. If I can end the war with my life, I think it will be a good deal."
Luke, there's a bit of a deal done.
However, he is just an ordinary person after all.
Extraordinary people, especially those who have mastered a combat power that is stronger than high-level natural disasters, and may even approach the level of evil gods, always look at problems from a different angle from ordinary people.
Lu Ming thought for a while, and then said: "If I say, I have a way to let you die, but I can also let you live with another identity...Will you choose this way?"
Luke opened his mouth slightly, and smiled after a while: "If you mean being a ghost...then I won't do it."
Lu Ming spread his hands: "This is indeed one of the backup methods, but it is not the best way to solve this problem."
Luke fell into a long silence.
Until he laughed at himself: "If you can live, who wants to die?"
……
After 10 minutes, the time in the room started to flow again.
Leonard and the others had no idea that they lost 10 minutes of time inexplicably.
At this moment, Luke was still sitting on the chair opposite Leonard, no matter his demeanor, movements, micro-expressions, or personality, everything was exactly the same as Luke just now.
Ordinary people like Leonard naturally didn't realize that Luke was no longer the Luke he used to be.
Only the invisible Lu Ming and the real Luke at the door understood what happened here...
"Very powerful ability."
Standing at the door, looking at the "stand-in" in front of him that was exactly the same as himself, Luke couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Lu Ming said, "It's not a powerful ability. It's just a low-level ghost that I control."
Mirror ghost, one of Lu Ming's achievements in the heroic front.Ability: Ghost Domain, perfect mirror image.
The ability of perfect mirror image can make the mirror ghost transform into any humanoid creature without revealing any flaws!Its deceptiveness can even fool high-level natural disasters!Only the high-level fierce gods can detect the doubles created by the perfect mirror image—and almost all the high-level fierce gods in this dungeon were acquired by Lu Ming.
This means that Luke who was replaced by the mirror ghost is the real Luke!It can be said that it is easy to pass blood tests and the like, and outsiders have no way to detect that Luke, who is about to be beheaded, is just a fake.
"In this way, the Resuscitating Empire will have an explanation to the outside world. And you can continue to live. After you are beheaded, the mirror ghost will come back to find me quietly. God knows this matter. You know me. , there will be no omissions."
"There will be no price... neither for you nor for me."
This is indeed the perfect solution.
Luke pondered for a long time before he had to say, "Thank you."
"no need to thank me."
"Because I didn't save you for nothing."
Lu Ming was really rude, Luke nodded and said, "I feel much better in this way."
"So, what price do I have to pay?"
Lu Ming didn't give an answer right away, he just walked with Luke while talking.
"You'll know in a while."
"Also, that guy Velen..."
"Let him stay here, I think Leonard will help me take good care of him."
"I remember that the two of them are related by blood."
"I don't know how many generations of blood relationship... What's more, Leonard is a good emperor."
"Good emperor?"
"Well, good emperor. This means that blood relationship will not be Leonard's primary consideration."
"A good emperor doesn't care about brotherhood."
"You are right. So, I guess Leonard will keep Velen... After all, a former leader of the tower has enough things in his mind to reap a lot of benefits for the revived empire."
Looking deeply at the dark prison behind him, and listening to the occasional screams at the end of the passage, Luke nodded slightly: "This is the last bit of help I leave for my country."
……
After five days.
General Luke, the former commander of the First Army of the Resurgent Empire, was executed in public under the witness of the leaders of the five major powers.
At the same time, the revived empire issued an unconditional surrender declaration to the outside world, and various compensation subsidies almost emptied half of the empire's treasury.
The short, but extremely intense war subsided.
Most people would only cheer for the end of the war and rejoice for the arrival of peace. Few people could notice that the former supreme leader of the tower—Master Velen disappeared for no reason.
Of course, for the tower, this is a matter of changing the leader—Velen, an old fellow, has lived too long and been the leader for too long. For the high-level forces of the tower, Velen's unexplained disappearance may have more advantages than disadvantages.
And they no longer pursue Velen's traces, which means that Velen's disappearance has been confirmed. In the future, future generations may only be able to admire Velen's great achievements in the history books.
It is a pity that Velen's evil conspiracy has not been made public, so naturally he will not end up with a long-lasting infamy.
And Luke should be doomed to be infamous forever...
As the initiator and main executor of this war, even if Luke was beheaded in public, his body would travel through the five countries to vent the resentment of the citizens of other countries for the war and their anger towards the revived empire.
But the strange thing is that on the third day after Luke was beheaded, his body disappeared for no reason.
And this matter, in the end, can only be classified as an unsolved mystery.
The matter needs no elaboration.
On the day Luke was beheaded, Lu Ming, Hope, Luke, and Wang Daxia had already appeared near the entrance of Jiyuan.
"So, our destination is Jiyuan?"
Luke, who was wearing a black robe to hide his identity, asked Lu Ming like this. When he saw Lu Ming nod, Luke couldn't help but sighed: "My sense of there is very bad..."
"Then you need to get used to it... because if everything goes well, you may spend your whole life in the Abyss in the future."
Luke, who was feigning death, had a kind of freedom and ease. The "poor senses" just now was just a joke. Hearing Lu Ming's words, Luke shrugged slightly and looked at Hero Wang beside him.
"So... what about him?"
"Opportunity."
Daxia Wang is concise and to the point.
Lowering his head, he quietly glanced at the long sword in his hand. Daxia Wang caressed the edge of the sword, and said calmly, "I owe Mr. Lu Ming three lives. But this time, I really didn't come to repay the debt."
"Only the day before yesterday, I formally broke up with my teacher, and I found Mr. Lu Ming in a deep sense of confusion."
"Mr. Lu Ming gave me two choices."
"One is to roam the rivers and lakes. Or travel to the five major countries to seek the true meaning of swordsmanship. Or go to the border of the Wulin League and open a wine shop for pedestrians to rest their feet."
Luke smiled slightly: "It sounds good."
Perhaps thinking of the scene when he opened a wine shop, Wang Daxia thought about it and shook his head: "It's actually quite boring."
"So I chose number two."
Just as the teleportation array leading to the abyss was shining slightly, the light swept across Lu Ming and the others, pulling everyone into the abyss.
Opening his eyes again, in addition to the monster corpse mountain, there is also a strong red-skinned devil about 1.8 meters tall.
The moment the red-skinned devil looked at him, even Lu Ming felt his scalp explode, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead uncontrollably.
This is an evil god!
An evil god stronger than degeneration!
Only hope unconsciously leaned forward, smelling the smell of the demon, the dog's face wrinkled in disgust.
"It smells like a stinking sewer."
The demon was not angry, but just grinned and grinned ferociously.
"The abyss is indeed a stinking ditch. You are right."
After finishing speaking, the demon looked at Lu Ming again: "Recognize again, the one standing in front of you is the master of the endless abyss, the great supreme demon, the spokesperson of war, the king of destruction and destruction, the great evil god of the abyss, Hal Mute!"
After finishing speaking, Abyss, who had recovered the strength of the low-level evil god, spoke slowly in a deep voice.
"With hope as a witness, I, the evil god of the abyss, wish to form an alliance with you, the companion of death!"
This scene was not beyond Lu Ming's expectations.
Because before, Hope disappeared for a few days, and when he came back, he brought Lu Ming the news that Abyss wanted to form an alliance with him.
I don't know if it was because he wanted to take the initiative to talk to Abyss, or if Abyss wanted to make an alliance with Lu Ming... no, it should be said to form an alliance with death.
In short, Lu Ming agreed to the matter in a daze.
