Chapter 409 408. This Is Probably [Zha Cheng]
This is definitely not just a trap set by the nobles of Aundair, the nobles of the Kingdom of Bozeco are also involved.
Mo Cheng didn't know why, but it had a lot to do with Napa Port.
There is nothing surprising about the collusion between the nobles of the two countries. After all, Mo Cheng's history class has many records of this kind of thing in the textbooks alone.
But what kind of deal the two nobles were involved in, Mo Cheng was not interested at the moment. He just wanted to run away with the people before the blame was placed on him.
Don't even think about it. If you have a deadly fight with a country without a mission, the one who will benefit in the end may be the group of nobles who blame him.
Thinking of the benefits gained by those nobles who took the blame was even more uncomfortable than Mo Cheng's own losses.
Even if it was a systematic mission, Mo Cheng had to carefully consider the price to pay for destroying a country.
The Kingdom of Bozeko is definitely not a weak country. On the contrary, it is a country that has a considerable degree of historical conflict with Aundair and has minor frictions from time to time.
It still exists to this day, which means that they at least have power that makes Aundair fearful, or even equal to Aundair.
After making up his mind to run away with the bucket, Mo Cheng looked at Dorothy and asked, "What are your plans?"
"Me?" Dorothy shrugged and answered indifferently, "Probably ran away. All the delegation was dead, and the death of the city lord of Napa Port was also related to me. These things can easily be revealed by prophecy mages. The prophecy came out. Aundair can’t go back, so she should find a way to go to another country.”
Dorothy knew very well what would happen if she returned to Aundair. She could not clear herself of the suspicion of assassinating the Lord of Napa Port, and there was no evidence that the death of the delegation had nothing to do with her. She would only get [ Spy] [Traitor] and other titles.
Principal Muzer could not protect her. Winterhold Academy of Magic was neutral among Aundair, and was receiving benefits from both sides. No matter which side they were on, they had to put a smile on Winterhold Academy of Magic.
But similarly, Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy cannot interfere in politics. If Dorothy returns to Aundair, and Principal Muzer dares to step in to protect her, then Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy's long-standing neutral stance will be broken.
By that time, whether it is the queen's faction or the noble faction, I am afraid they will first target the Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy.
Once you break your position, it is simply impossible to return to neutrality.
In fact, Principal Muzer may not have known about it at first. When he realized that something was wrong, he asked Mo Cheng to come and help solve it. Judging from the price paid and the risk taken by the other party, it has already done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous.
If Dorothy really returns to Aundair and Principal Muzer really does nothing, no one will blame him for this.
"I won't act with you anymore. I will try to leave at the west gate. If you have any plans, hurry up."
"You are planning to die."
Mo Cheng mercilessly exposed Dorothy's approach, "The death of the city lord of Napa Port was planned by many forces. We, who are directly related to the case of the city lord's death, have basically no chance of returning alive once we are noticed. Act alone. Don't talk about running away, if you can walk out two streets, I will consider you a part-time assassin master."
"Then what are you going to do?" Dorothy spread her hands and looked at Mo Cheng with her violet eyes, "Do you know what kind of trouble we are involved in? The nobles of the Napa Port City Lord's line want us Even if I die, the guy behind this incident doesn’t intend to let me live.”
"You are a hereditary earl. They will not do anything to you until there is a war between the two countries. Even if you return to Aundair, Her Majesty Queen will protect you."
Dorothy clearly knew that she was facing a dead end. When she was the only one left alive in the delegation, she was destined to become the scapegoat.
Most people won't care about the truth of the matter, but there must be a [sacrifice] with sufficient identity to take responsibility for this incident.
Take responsibility with your life!
Facing the approaching death, Dorothy's rationality told her that the best choice was to resist everything by herself and let Mo Cheng and others leave safely.
But her sensibility and fear of death made her body tremble slightly at this time.
"Listen to me, wait until night when I..."
"Shut up, you bitch!"
After rudely interrupting Dorothy, Mo Cheng gave the other party no idea to continue talking, "Do you want to die or live?"
Is it useful to ask this now?
Dorothy wanted to retort, but Mo Cheng stared into Dorothy's eyes and asked again, "Do you want to die or live? Answer me."
Without giving the other party more time to think about it, Mo Cheng counted down three counts in his mind and spoke again, "I think you want to live, so now start listening to me. I'll take you out of this city, Aundair There’s no need to worry over there.”
"You, I'll protect you!"
There is still a task hanging on the mission system. Although only one person in the delegation is dead and the task reward is definitely reduced to a very low level, the task is still on it, and Mo Cheng will not give up any task at will.
Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency, Earl, do you know what price you need to pay for sheltering criminals who undermine the peace between the two countries and assassinate important officials of other countries?"
"The worst case scenario is that Her Majesty the Queen will reduce my earl to a baron, and then take back the hereditary status and territory. Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Mo Cheng didn't care at all what price he had to pay to keep Dorothy. For him, that was all a matter for later, and now he had more important things to consider.
"If we hide like this, the Bozeko Kingdom will probably let prophecy mages or starry sky mages locate us. Is there anything you can do to interfere with their positioning?"
Talking about her professional question, Dorothy thought for a while and then replied: "Yes, I can interfere for seventy-two hours as long as the other party does not use the mage tower, but according to the worst-case scenario, I may only be able to interfere with the other party." Less than twelve hours.”
"enough."
Twelve hours were enough for Mo Cheng to take the people out of Napa Port. If they couldn't leave within twelve hours, then there was no need for more time.
"Take some repairs and we'll leave Napa Harbor in the evening."
After speaking, Mo Cheng walked out of the room and probably informed others of his arrangements.
"Wait a moment……"
Just as Mo Cheng was about to leave, a faint whisper came from behind him. If Mo Cheng hadn't had strong senses, he might not have even been able to hear what was being said.
Mo Cheng didn't look back and waited quietly for the person behind him.
"Why do you do this? This should have nothing to do with you..."
Why do this? It's a boring question, because of the mission, and because he doesn't like others taking advantage of him.
However, Mo Cheng felt that it would be troublesome to tell the reason no matter which one it was, so he pushed up his glasses and said, "Yeah, why?"
"Probably because I am [Zha Cheng]."
Well, scumbag Cheng, Seitaro who beats people into scumbags.
Referred to as [Zha Cheng].
A very reasonable abbreviation, without any ambiguity.
Pushing the door open and leaving, only Dorothy was left in the room, playing with the recording instrument in her hand and looking at Xia Fei's cheeks.
Thanks to [Youluo Duanhun] for the reward
