Chapter 140 Deliberate Seizure of Power
"Can a mere fruit knife kill me?"
Petty's words were clearly a playful provocation, and his words revealed confidence.
"Really? What about this?" Qin Weijie took out a revolver with his left hand and pressed it against the back of Petty's head.
The cold touch of the gun barrel made Petty panic a little. It was indeed difficult for a fruit knife to break through the defense, but Petty did not dare to lift the revolver to attack the head at such a close range.
"Hey, bratty brother, you really can't afford it!" Petty said and curled her lips: "Okay, don't test me. I have no ill intentions towards you. I'm just here to inform you. Tom's secret is not there yet." People know.”
After listening to Petty's words, Qin Weijie grinned, put away the fruit knife and revolver, and said with a smile: "Hey, young lady is really smart. I'll just test it out. Who knows what your attitude is. You continue. …”
Petty rolled her eyes at Qin Weijie and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but did not take off his armor. Petty knew that Qin Weijie was moody, and the possibility of his grandson killing someone before he explained clearly was as high as 100%. Ninety percent, so for safety reasons Petty did not take off his armor.
"The Magic Strategic Deployment Department has been investigating orphanages in London recently. This is because fourteen years ago, an original sin host broke away from the control of King Arthur's Court, fled to London, and left behind a baby. Now the top brass of the Royal Court are looking for it. This baby, because the other party is likely to inherit one of the seven deadly sins.
The royal court didn't know much about the baby, but it was expected that the baby would be born at the end of 1926 or the beginning of 1927. Therefore, the Magic Strategic Deployment Department has recently been investigating children in various orphanages in London that match the birth time.
However, just yesterday, the direction of the investigation changed. They began to investigate all the children with magical talents born in the orphanage from 1926 to the first half of 1927. Therefore, the fact that some people think they are smart enough to adjust their date of birth is self-defeating..."
"Let me ask again, why are you pointing at Tom? What does the person they are looking for have to do with Tom!?" Qin Weijie pretended to be stupid.
Petty smiled charmingly, pointed at Qin Weijie's forehead, and continued: "Hey, if I was just a little skeptical before entering the door just now, seeing your expression now, I can 100% confirm that Tom is the magic strategy The original sin host that the Deployment Office is looking for is, little brother, every time I see you getting serious, I know you are going to start lying again..."
"You really understand me!" Qin Weijie said through gritted teeth.
This girl Petty is a fairy. Sometimes she is wild, and sometimes she is charming. She is an everyday man, but she still has the charm of femininity. Such a contradictory individual, Qin Weijie doesn't know how Petty manages to combine all kinds of charms into one body. .
"Tom's identity can't be hidden for long, and your identity can't be hidden either. You should know that you are also one of the original sin hosts, right?"
Qin Weijie's heart was crossed by a mud horse galloping past. What's going on with this guy? How come you know everything?
"Smelly brother, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. I'm just here to be a lobbyist. I can help you cover up the aura of original sin in your body, but I need you to do me a little favor." Petty's attitude changed, and his previous words changed. This is to show that he has the capital to negotiate terms with Qin Weijie and the others. Now that the preliminary preparations have been done, it is time to talk about business.
"Help us? Aren't you a Templar from King Arthur's Court? Why are you helping us? The Seven Deadly Sins Plan no longer needs to be implemented?" Qin Weijie asked the doubts in his heart.
Petty shook his head: "The Seven Deadly Sins plan itself is immature. The resurrection of original sin can indeed resist the invasion of the dark side, but there is another possibility that the original sin invades the real world. Such a result would be worse than letting the madness and distortion of the dark side invade. "
"Which side are you on?"
"Well... let's put it this way, King Arthur's court is also full of factions. The power of the court now is basically in the hands of the sage Merlin and the Honorable Council. And the contemporary King Arthur is a bit like me, he is a mascot with emptied rights. .
I am on the side of King Arthur. The secrets I just told you were also instructed by King Arthur. The purpose is...how to say, King Arthur wants to form an alliance with you. "
"King Arthur? Contemporary King Arthur? I have never heard of King Arthur abdicating the throne. Where does the contemporary King Arthur come from?"
Petty explained: "This involves the mystery of 15 years ago. I don't know the details. I was only over a year old at the time. I only heard from contemporary King Arthur that there was civil strife in the royal court 15 years ago, and the previous king was severely wounded by the rebels. He fell soon after. In order to stabilize the situation in the royal court, the Honor Council did not announce the death of King Arthur, but let the contemporary King Arthur take the throne. For fifteen years, the Honor Council has ignored the contemporary King Arthur, and King Arthur has finally become a puppet. "
"A puppet is allying with us? It's a loss no matter what!" Qin Weijie scratched his head. He had almost guessed what Petty and King Arthur were thinking.
The contemporary King Arthur is accumulating strength and planning to seize power. It's an old-fashioned script. The puppet is restored, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and secretly accumulating strength to overthrow the elders of the Council. It's a bit interesting.
"Do you have any choice? The Honor Council wants to extract the power of original sin from your body. I think you also know what the outcome will be. This is already an endless conflict, but King Arthur does not agree with the Seven Deadly Sins plan and is willing to block it. implementation of the plan.
This is the opportunity for our alliance. Although King Arthur has been stripped of his power, he has a certain amount of capital, otherwise he would not have deliberately seized power. As long as we join forces to help King Arthur seize power successfully, the threat of the seven deadly sins will disappear, and you, Tom and your other friends will be safe. "
"Then let's talk about it. What do you want us to do? Let's make it clear first. I know what you are planning to do. You want me to join the group so that the Fuli family will stand on King Arthur's side. It's a pity that I can't represent the Fuli family, so it should be impossible to get the Fuli family's funding. "Qin Weijie said and sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs and started to negotiate.
"Who said that the Fuli family's funding is needed? King Arthur is interested in you and your friends. I heard that a secret organization called the Death Spirit Cult is very active recently. According to investigation, the leader should be Minsk Anubis, the vice president of your club.
I have to say that your club is full of talents, including Anne, who has the ability of clairvoyance, Ques, the puppeteer, Altan, the god of war, and Tom, a rising diviner. Such a configuration is enough to make King Arthur jealous.
Of course, the old guys in King Arthur's court don't know the above information. After all, in their opinion, a newly emerged secret organization will not pose a threat to them, but King Arthur values your potential very much. "
