Tyrant Code

Aldrich Finn volunteered to go across the river to quell the dreaded "disease."

"Yes, you said before that you would use the gospel to influence them." At first, Casal Moran rejected his proposal with a cold face, "However, your influence obviously did not have the slightest effect. The other side of the river is too It's dangerous. Not only is there an unknown disease there, but also a group of rebels. If you go, you will probably be torn apart by them like sheep to wolves."

"But I'm here to help them, and they should know that this lifeline lies in me." Aldridge said earnestly, "They are rebels, but they are also lost souls. They can be guided by swords and fire, It can also be good words and good news—this is what I always hope to convey to everyone."

"I want to try again." Aldrich silently crossed himself on his chest, with a high-spirited look of "hell if I don't go to hell", if someone else is standing in front of him , I guess I was taken aback for a while.

Casar: "...well, if you insist."

——If you insist on courting death.

Aldrich was well aware of Casal's unfinished words.

From the standpoint of Casal Moran, he certainly hoped that Aldrich would never come back after going to the other side of the river, so that the newly promoted subordinates of the Pope would be here.

Aldrich thought to himself that he just took advantage of this mentality and let the people of the Moran Legion escort him to the other side of the river.

"You must go, but we don't have much time to waste." Casal Moran frowned and reluctantly agreed, "I will give you three days at most—if nothing changes within three days , then we will blow up the castle according to the plan. By the way, the legion will help negotiate, but you should take your own followers to cross the river and land. I don’t want to send my own soldiers to die.”

Aldridge twitched his lips. He didn't expect that Casal would be so stingy that he didn't even assign a few soldiers to him. It seemed that he was sure that he would never come back after this trip.

……Ah.

Aldrich nodded with a smile, and his large black robe swayed slightly as he turned and left.His back looks so slender, but with an indomitable momentum.

Some soldiers who didn't know the truth were faintly moved.

Of course, the emotion is the emotion, no one is willing to follow Aldridge to take risks across the river—let alone to rescue their enemies.

After the Legion and the people on Dao Lun's side pretended to negotiate a few back and forth, Earl Dao Lun was "overjoyed" at the bishop's arrival, and even had "hot tears in his eyes", eagerly hoping that the bishop could end this nightmare, and promised Never resist and surrender obediently.

Aldridge felt that Earl Doron was very good, so he stepped on the wooden boat with satisfaction, crossed the narrow river, and entered the core territory of the rebel army.

Aldridge was also quite afraid of this group of rebels, after all, he was just a "weak" clergyman.But when he came into contact with the rebels, he found that these people didn't seem to have obvious hostility towards him, and even had a hint of piety and awe. Aldrich understood that although they rebelled, they still feared the might of the Holy See in their hearts.

Aldridge sneered to himself: If I knew this before, why did I do it in the first place?

Soon, he saw Earl Doran himself.The count received him very politely, and invited him to drink the fine wine from his collection in the most spacious and luxurious drawing room of the castle, and then invited him to go to the basement of the castle together to see the people who were being tortured.

On the way, Aldridge was thinking about how he could control the end of this "disease".He summoned the source of the curse with a wave of his hand?Surely not.First, the curse is broken too easily, which is not conducive to his performance, and second, the vitality sacrificed to His Excellency the Pope is not enough...

Didn't Casal Moran give a three-day deadline?

Then let the source of the curse temporarily stop after three days... and then let the illness repeat several times, he can also exorcise the demon a few more times, it is best for him to pass out again halfway, or "be stunned by a crazy person" or something, after twists and turns, Finally, "successfully exorcise the devil"-increasing the credibility of the whole story while selling a wave of misery.

Simply perfect.

Aldrich is gearing up, his acting cells are ready to move.

Although he was very excited, he approached the mad man in the basement with a solemn face.

In the dark cell, the chains rubbed against the ground, making crackling sounds.The person tied to the wooden post rolled his eyes white, spit out faint blood foam, and roared like a wild beast, as if trying to bite the throat of everyone present.

Aldridge sighed softly: "O lost soul."

There was regret in his tone.But his acting skills were so exaggerated that Earl Doran could even hear a hint of excitement in his trembling voice.

Earl Doran's cold eyes fell on Aldrich's back.

That's right, the suffering young man in front of him, his vitality was continuously pumped into Aldrich's old body——

While devouring the vigorous vitality, while admiring the struggling and painful appearance of the vitality provider... How proud is Aldrich Finn now?

Earl Doron closed his eyes tiredly, his eye sockets were a little sour, and when he thought of his young daughter's face, an irrepressible anger burned in his heart.

The gray-haired bishop in black slowly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the face of the suffering madman.

His fingertips failed to touch the outline of the madman, and with a "Puff", the sharp long sword stained with blood had already passed through his chest.

Aldrich Finn's eyes widened in disbelief, and a cloud of blood filled his chest.He opened his mouth, but there was only a trickle of blood dripping from his lips.

"...you are not qualified to touch him." Earl Doran spit out a few words through his teeth.

The entourage who came with Aldrich were caught off guard by this sudden change, and they were so shocked that they couldn't even take up their weapons at the first moment.

So the rebels who had been lurking in the dark for a long time showed their knives, and cut their necks in just a moment.So they collapsed limply.There was a strong bloody smell all around.

Aldrich's eyes were about to burst, he took a deep breath, pulled his body from the blade with all his strength, and then recited a spell, white light flashed - he took two steps back with a pale face, Although the wounds in the body were too late to heal, the wounds had stopped bleeding.

This is the bishop level priest.On the premise of not breaking off the limbs, it can even create a miracle of bringing the dead back to life.

"What do you mean—" Aldridge snarled and covered his neck, as if he could keep his head.

With a "snap", someone snapped their fingers, and the candle for lighting jumped bravely, and the surrounding area was instantly plunged into darkness.A second later, when Aldrich saw everything in front of him clearly again, he was already floating in mid-air.

An invisible rope strangled him around his neck.There is a faint light flickering in his palm, but no matter how he breaks the curse and struggles, it will be of no avail.

Aldrich opened his eyes wide, and the fear in his heart was mixed with a sense of absurdity:

who is it?Who did he meet?Such magic power, such a threat...he had never met before!Even His Excellency the Pope—

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in a cloak.

The man was wearing a pair of leather boots, with a slender and tall figure, and he took two steps towards Aldrich without saying a word.It was only two steps, but Aldridge was terrified.

The man in the cloak looked at him and raised his head slightly—although part of his face was covered by the cloak, Aldrich still recognized his overly delicate side profile and those deep black eyes.

"You...you are..."

As soon as Aldrich uttered three words, the invisible rope around his neck tightened even more, even making his bones creak.

"Mr. Merlin, as long as you kill him, this curse will be over, right?" Earl Doran asked the cloaked mage who suddenly appeared in the basement, as if he was relieved, but also as if he was ready for battle.

"Of course." "Merlin" said, "Do you want to end all this yourself?"

Earl Doron pursed his lips: "Of course."

"Merlin": "Unfortunately, you also have to be buried here."

Earl Doran: "It doesn't matter. I have already set off a rebellion and I have no way out. I would rather die in my hometown..."

Having said that, Earl Dauron smiled palely, "Just in time to see my little daughter."

Aldridge was shocked when he heard their conversation.

It's a conspiracy.This is a conspiracy from beginning to end!The Moran Legion actually cooperated with the rebels, just to let him die here justifiably...!

Just as Aldrich was trying to think with his oxygen-deprived brain, Earl Doran raised his hand, aimed at Aldrich's heart, and stabbed down with his sword again.

"Merlin" withdrew the magic.Bodies fell to the ground like garbage.

At the same time, the bound maniac not far away tilted his head and became silent.

After a long time, Earl Daolun dismissed his men: "Go out and tell everyone that the curse is over."

*

"...It's unbelievable." Earl Doron dropped his sword and slumped on the ground, "We actually murdered a bishop just like that."

"Merlin", that is, Gordo, he said indifferently: "Aldrich Finn was temporarily put on the position of bishop. His magical talent is barely there, but other indicators are completely failing." For example Family background, such as political achievements, and IQ.

In the past, Lu Bo was sentenced to death so simply because of improper management and the end of the world.This Aldrich is good, he has not officially stepped on the stage yet, and he has killed himself.

…In fact, the Pope sent him here, and he didn't want to let him go back alive, but the Pope didn't want him to die in the lair of the rebels.

Earl Daolun heard Goldo's unflattering evaluation of Aldrich Finn, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that your strength is far superior to his - Your Excellency Goldo Moran. "

"Have you guessed who I am?" Gordon was a little surprised.

"Aldrich Finn's expression just now tells me that he knows you. In addition, you are from the Moran Legion and you are so young. After thinking about it, it should be you." Earl Doran said, "...otherwise The power of the Moran family is too terrifying."

"That's right." Goldo Moran gave a noble salute, which is the courtesy he should do when he sees an earl who also holds a title under normal circumstances, "You are more sensitive than I imagined."

"...Do you think it's unbelievable? Why am I obviously not an idiot, but I started a rebellion anyway?" Earl Doron covered his face with one hand, brushed away the blood mist on his face, and said.

"I don't think so." Gordon said after a moment of silence, "I also have people who care."

"Chelsea... my younger brother. It is indeed the fuse that made me lose my mind, but his death is not the only reason for my rebellion." Earl Doran looked up at Goldo, "Anyway, I have to die soon , you allow me to say a few more words, how about it?"

Lord Doran killed Bishop Aldrich Finn as a rebel, which is "unshakable script".As evidence, Earl Doran must die here together with Aldrich—otherwise, the Moran family will also worry about whether the Pope will try to use Earl Doran as a witness against the Moran family when he arrives in the capital.

Of course, the Pope and Aldrich are Doron's enemies.But - only the dead can guarantee 100% that the secret will not be leaked, this is a well-known truth.

...Anyway, Earl Daolun has committed treason, and if he is captured and returned to the capital, he will only die.He ran to the other side of the river alive, and there was Moran's army waiting for him, but it was still a dead end.

Gordon had at least let him choose how he died.

Aldrich died, and Earl Doran had to commit suicide.This is the content of the transaction that Goldo and he had discussed earlier in the morning.

How should I put it, Goldo claims to be a kind person - he will personally confirm whether Earl Doron is dying, but he is not stingy with the time for the other party to tell his last words.

So, Gordon nodded lightly: "Go ahead."

Earl Doran smiled: "I have always felt that there is a big gap between this world and my ideal. Of course, I am not referring to my living conditions, but what I have seen as a lord..."

"There is a swarm of locusts in the Holy See. Among the nobles and officials, there are also people who are as stupid as pigs. In comparison, locusts are more terrifying. But what is more terrifying is the human heart. People who cannot see a bright future or life Value. This is what I find most terrifying." Earl Doran said, "Then I was attracted to Jacques... We have known each other since childhood, he used to be my best friend, and he still is now. He went around to participate in the priest's uprising , The beautiful and fair world they talk about is also deeply attracted to me-to be honest, I'm not sure if their idea will work, maybe if it goes on like this according to their plan, the situation will not necessarily be worse, But what attracted me from the beginning was the 'unknown' in them."

Gordon: "Where is this Mr. Jacques now?"

Earl Doran: "Could you stop interrupting, I'm very sad now, haven't you seen my tears - Jacques is dead! After being attacked by the first 'crazy man', he also went mad and finally died! He also Adao Li killed me. I know I shouldn't blame him, he just kindly went to check on the poor priest who was brought back alive..."

understood.That is to say, after the poor priest that Aldrich deliberately let go went ashore, he took away Earl Doran's best friend and beloved daughter in a wave in the first two days.

Gordon: "...Oh, I'm so sorry."

"It doesn't matter, I went on to say-damn, where did I say? Oh... yes, after receiving the news of my brother's death." Earl Doran said in a self-deprecating tone, "I can't contain my anger. At the same time I feel like I'm at my limit. I should have left Chelsea at home...but he just wants to live out his dream. It's not like he can't do it, why can't he do it? So I didn't stop him, I even encouraged He. Chelsea is not wrong per se. If he had lived in a reasonable and just environment, he would not have died..."

"But such a world does not exist." Goldo recalled his origin, that distant modern age, "Even if hundreds of thousands of years pass, it is impossible to exist."

"But I am the lord." Earl Doran insisted, "...I should let the people living around me live better than other places."

Goldo: "..."

Earl Doran: "I know that you will take over this territory next - you must treat this land well. Otherwise, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."

Goldo: "..." That doesn't have to be the case.

"Okay. I'm done." Earl Doran took a deep breath, "Goodbye."
