Chapter 2279 Discredit
Simmons Locke's chest heaved violently, and he was as excited as an angry lion.
I hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Calm down your anger and don't get excited. You are quite old, why are you still so impulsive?"
After taking several deep breaths, Simmons Locke's face finally turned from white to red, and gradually returned to normal. After a long time, a cold snort came from his nostrils: "I just can't stand that kind of hard power, all based on conspiracy and conspiracy." Shameless person in high position!”
It's rare that he doesn't classify people like Carter Horton as trash, but treats him as a shameless person. Presumably, he is also a little afraid of tricks.
"Right now, Airui City is also in dire straits. We might as well watch from the sidelines to verify whether a regime that relies solely on conspiracy and power rather than hard power can survive this crisis? And whether it is qualified to stand side by side with other monarchs. OK."
"This does not need to be confirmed." Simmons Locke waved his hand: "Carter Horton has little hard power, but is very good at using power. He has done a lot of things like solving problems with the help of public opinion. This time due to the disaster, The mutiny must be easily resolved.”
"Well, since Carter Horton won't fall for the time being, we might as well take our eyes back and focus on the matter in front of us. What do you think?"
Simmons Locke nodded slightly and made a heavy nasal sound.
I took the teapot from the table and poured a cup of tea for Simmons Locke, Kailan and me.
Holding the teacup, looking at a piece of light green tea leaf floating on the water, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a while, I suddenly woke up and realized that Simmons Locke and Kailan were staring at me without blinking. After laughing twice awkwardly, I said, "Sorry, I just lost my number."
"It doesn't matter." Simmons Locke didn't mind. He took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pretended to be asleep. He was silent for a few seconds, and then said leisurely: "Did the meditation just now bring you any inspiration?"
"Yes, but not much."
His eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light burst out. The light was so sharp that it was difficult to look at him: "Tell me and listen."
"I wonder how much your Majesty knows about bloody purification?"
"It is an organization inherited from the period of goblin rule. It once planned to assassinate the goblin emperor, but failed and was massacred instead. Finally, it had to hide among the people and disappeared for a long time. Until disaster struck, its members volunteered to eliminate the disaster. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can make up for our mistakes so that we can continue.”
After swallowing and gathering his thoughts, he continued: "The organization's most glorious period was probably in the middle and late stages of the melee period. It once supported six small countries and two medium-sized countries, and quickly climbed to the top among many civil organizations. giant."
"When the period of melee ended and the era of legendary heroes came, Bloody Purification once wanted to dominate one side with the financial, material and manpower accumulated over the years and continue to maintain its hegemonic rule during the period of melee. However, it was defeated by Carter Adams and dozens of other outstanding figures. Legend has it that a hero led thousands of troops and defeated them after several years.”
"The bloody purification after the defeat had to hide the people again. This is all I know about the bloody purification."
"But it seems that it didn't learn well."
"Liberating in secret, accumulating strength, assassinating unruly people, and deliberately delaying the process of making the country stronger by reducing its talents. Hmm, it hasn't learned its lesson. It's simply intensifying its efforts and acting ungratefully!"
Simmons Locke's eyes widened, as if he was just a little bit out of the frame.
"Actually, it's not just your country. As far as I know, similar experiences have happened in Dashai City and Moonlight City. Even my fiancée and I were almost killed."
Simmons Locke glanced at Kellan: "Is it her?"
"No, it's Jin Siqi, my fiancée in Dashai City and the current president of the new Brave Guild."
"New Valiant Guild, well, I have heard of this name. It is said that it has become the first among the new guilds. Its scale and foundation are comparable to the Rose Legion of Dashai City."
At this point, Simmons Locke frowned: "The president of a guild of this level will also be assassinated? Could it be that she didn't bring a bodyguard?"
"I did bring guards, but the situation at that time... You know, when faced with disasters, everyone will be negligent sometimes."
"Oh, I understand. He was assassinated during the fight against Calamity." Simmons Locke breathed softly: "These silverfish really know how to pick opportunities."
"Isn't that right? Fortunately, my personal bodyguard reacted in time and captured the assassin. Through torture, I learned that the person behind the scenes was none other than Bloody Purification."
"Not long after that, the people from Bloody Purification came to Moonlight City disguised as special envoys from Dashai City and forced me to apologize! Fortunately, I was still smart and there were a lot of big guys helping me, and I finally drove this guy out. However, when I returned home that night, I met a group of them again at the gate. The fake envoy also sincerely gave me a box of gold and silver jewelry coated with poison. Fortunately, I saw through it in time and took them away. Behead him in front of the door."
Sighing, I added: "It was relatively calm for a while, but just a few days ago, I was attacked by an assassin again. The assassin who came this time is said to be among the top ten in the assassin group in terms of assassination methods."
"That battle was thrilling. Fortunately, one of my own helped and took care of him, saving my life."
"Bloody purification is indeed a crime worthy of death," Simmons Locke said gloomily. Then, he chuckled again and said, "I'm curious, how did they force you to apologize?"
"What else can I do?" I curled my lips and said helplessly: "In the battle to expel the disaster, I narrowly escaped death many times, but the old Duke who led the army always turned a blind eye and didn't even have the intention to help. This made me very sad and disappointed, so I led a group of people and left the battlefield early. However, before I left, I had blinded the last giant's eyes and beaten his body to half a disability. As long as I pay more attention, If you delay a little longer, you will be able to get out of the way."
"But I heard that in order to drive away the disaster, Dashai City suffered heavy casualties. Nearly half of the adventurers were thrown into the wilderness. This is somewhat different from the conclusion you gave."
"Do you believe me or the rumors?"
Simmons Locke said seriously: "Of course I believe you."
"Then it's over." I spread my hands and said, "That's how public opinion is. It can be stimulated or smeared. If I'm not wrong, now, in the eyes of the people of Dashai City, I am The image is no different from that of a deserter."
"Not only in Dasay City, there are also some discordant voices in the country talking about this matter."
"As you can see, many people have never even seen me or even know who I am. Just because they are interesting, they smear me all together. They keep smearing on me and it becomes dark. Even if they want to wash it off, they can't wash it off. "
