Chapter 452 The Wall of Penitents
Memphitos, the pier, and the scars of the war have not been completely wiped away, and the place is still depressed, with a stench that can't be blown away by the wind.
The golden sun was falling, and the breeze was blowing, bringing a little bit of chill. The pier, which was supposed to be deserted, became lively this day which was rare.
The city guards cleared the way and sealed off the surrounding area. Sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed by someone, Asim Bansain, the colonial governor of the New World of the Kingdom of Sutilt, the ruler of Memphitus, the count of the court, and Asim Bansain came here. Today It was the day when he stepped down as the colonial governor, left the New World, and returned to the Old World.
"What a sight."
After waving his hand, he signaled the servant to stop. Looking at the beautiful scenery on the coastline, Asim let out a sigh, which was both praising and lonely.
The high wall is made of pure white ice crystals, spreading along the coastline, and glowing golden in the sun. At first glance, it seems that there is no end in sight, and inside the crystal clear ice wall are fishes with hideous faces and different shapes. people.
The Wall of the Confessors, a miraculous landscape created by Kuzan with the frozen corpses of tens of thousands of murlocs. This wall was engraved with a ritual witch formation by him. The white ice crystals will not melt all year round. This is not only a deterrent to the outside world, but also An internal warning.
"Count, are you really giving up just like that?"
Wearing a neat military uniform, at this moment, Brigadier General Moser, who had been by Asim's side, finally couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Asim showed a smile on his old face.
"Do I still have the qualifications not to give up now? The overall situation is settled, maybe our Baron Sean will change his title soon, such as the Earl of Memphitus?"
Withdrawing his gaze and leaning back in the chair, Asim did not look at Brigadier General Moser beside him.
The sun is shining, the legs are covered with blankets, although the hair is still meticulously groomed, it is hard to hide the grayness, although the pupils are still broken gold, but they are dull and dull, and they have lost their former glory. At this moment, Ah There was an unspeakable loneliness in Sim's body.
Although Asim saved his life from the hands of the six-armed Janariana with the protection talisman presented by Amir, his body still suffered irreversible severe injuries. Now not only his lower body is completely paralyzed, but even his extraordinary rank has also been removed from the body. The fourth level fell, and he became an ordinary person with no power to restrain the chicken.
"Count, although your injury is troublesome, the Church of Storms and even the Church of Dawn may not be helpless, as long as we pay some price..."
"Moser, don't you understand? The relationship between the Kingdom and the Church of Storms has reached a freezing point. Otherwise, the Church of Storms would not be able to hold out against the murlocs attacking the city this time, and has never intervened. As for the Church of Dawn , now they don't have the energy to pay attention to the affairs of the New World, and their strength in the New World is limited, both of which are unreliable."
Before Moser finished speaking, Asim interrupted his words. Although his body was crippled, Asim's eyes were still bright, and he had a clear understanding of the current situation of Memphitos.
Hearing this, Moser opened his mouth to speak several times, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Although he didn't see these things as clearly as Asim, he didn't necessarily understand them in his heart, but he was just a little unwilling.
"Don't worry, Sean is not a narrow-minded person. I have spoken to him before. He is not ready for a major change of blood for Memphitus. As long as you perform your duties with all your heart, you are still a member of the City Guards." Those in charge, of course, if you are really not used to it, you can also go to work and strive to be transferred back to the mainland."
Turning his head and taking a look at Moser, Asim talked about his arrangement for him, which is the only thing he can do for him now.
Upon hearing this, Moser fell silent.
It was at this time that another voice sounded.
"I'm sorry, Count, I'm late."
Striding, wearing a royal navy uniform, combing his hair back, and taking care of it meticulously, Commodore Neo Rommel walked over.
"You can still come and see me off,
I am already very happy. "
Looking at the radiant Neo Rommel, Asim showed a smile on his face. This was not a polite gesture, but his truth. Today is the day when he resigned from office and returned to his homeland, except for Moser who has been following him Besides Er, only Rommel came to see him off.
Neo Rommel was born as a commoner, he was older than him and Moser, and he was approaching fifty years old. He was awarded the title of honorary baron by the Kingdom and the rank of Commodore because of his outstanding military exploits. He was also a member of the Royal Navy. The rising star, unfortunately offended someone later, was transferred from the main fleet of the Kingdom Navy, arranged or sent to the New World.
Since then, Rommel's rules of conduct have changed drastically, and his people have become more slippery. came back.
Hearing this, Rommel looked at Asim who was sitting in a wheelchair, but did not speak, and his expression was a little complicated.
Although he was born in the royal family, Asim's style is different from that of many veteran nobles, and his methods are quite sophisticated. During the time he was in charge of Memphitus, the interior of Memphitus was relatively stable. They can maintain a delicate balance. For Asim, Rommel himself still admires him. At least with him, everyone in Memphitos can live a stable life.
"Okay, I should go."
With a smile on his face, he waved to Moser and Rommel. Pushed by his servants, Asim boarded the ship back to the mainland.
The siren blared, startling a flock of frigate birds, and the ship gradually moved away from the pier.
"Will I come back?"
On the deck, looking at Memphitus in the sun, Asim was a little crazy. He came here with a royal mission and wanted to expand the territory of the kingdom, but now he had to leave sadly, away from this place he originally planned. A place where I have fought my whole life, I have to say it is a kind of sadness.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have accepted this amulet from Amir in the first place."
Spreading out his palm, looking at the dull jade fragments in his palm, Asim's expression was extremely complicated. Without this amulet, he should be dead now, but sometimes death in battle may be a good choice .
Huh, the sea breeze was blowing, and the cloaks on the back were flapping. Rommel and Moser stood side by side, watching the sea ship on which Asim was boarding go away.
During the disaster of the murlocs, those in power in Memphitos suffered heavy losses unexpectedly. Among them, several persons in charge on the administrative side were brutally killed by the murlocs, and none of them survived. Instead, they fought on the front line with the murlocs Although the military officials also suffered heavy losses, the two principals survived.
"It seems that after the betrayal, you have a good life."
The ship went away, leaving only a vague shadow, and Moser spoke, with a trace of undisguised sarcasm in his words.
"Betrayal? I have never been with you all the same way."
Ignoring Moser's sarcasm, he tidied up his military uniform that was blown by the wind, and Rommel turned and left.
On the pier, watching Rommel's leaving back, Moser's expression was a bit complicated. Just now, he felt a powerful aura from Rommel's body, and Moser knew very well what it meant.
As a Brigadier General of the Kingdom, before, Moser and Rommel were both third-order extraordinary, but Moser firmly believed that he would surpass Rommel sooner or later, because he was not only younger than Rommel, but also had family support behind him, but now It seems that the result is reversed.
"Fourth level, is this the price Green Field City offered you?"
As the sun set, Moser stood there and did not leave for a long time. His shadow stretched very, very long on the ground. He knew that Memphitos's innocence had really changed from today on. Although there is no name yet, Green It is an unchangeable fact that the Yecheng side is in power, because the man sitting in Memphitos at this moment has a sixth-level title, and such an existence is no different from a true god in the eyes of ordinary people.
In the extraordinary era, when a person's strength reaches a certain level, all power will wither, fist is power.
