Chapter 258: Rage
Helb came forward.
This news stunned Lan Wu. Then another piece of news revealed by Taylor shocked him. Helb actually denied that he had ever met with himself and others. Doesn't this mean that he has lost the most powerful witness?
"Lies, these are all lies!" Boya was in great pain, his hands deeply inserted into his thick hair. He couldn't believe his ears at all. The respected heir to the title, Lord Helb, actually ignored the truth and denied that he had ever met with himself and others.
Vina was also stunned. She was sure from the beginning that the final winner of this storm would be Lan Wu. After all, it was Lord Helb, one of the only two title heirs in the Demon Fortress, that Izual was chasing after. With such a powerful witness, how could those shameful fraudsters turn over? But the news brought back by Taylor was like a blow to the head, knocking her unconscious.
Lord Helb actually chose to stand on the side of Fade and others?
Seeing the performance of Boya and Vina, Volod quickly pulled Taylor over and asked in a low voice: "Did you see Lord Helbu publicly deny that he had never seen us?"
"I swear on my life." Taylor raised three fingers on his right hand solemnly: "That damn old guy appeared in his blacksmith shop. I rushed over as soon as I got the news, and just happened to catch him claiming that he had never met us. So I hurried back."
Vorod was stunned, his heart was in turmoil. Things have come to this point, Lan Wu may not be able to turn over. Once the crime of swallowing the spoils of everyone's cooperation is confirmed, Lan Wu will no longer have a place to stay in the Demon Fortress.
Subconsciously, he cast his eyes on Lan Wu.
Lan Wu's face was as gloomy as water, but there was an uproar in his heart. He also didn't expect Helbu to ignore the facts and stand on the side of Fade and others against his will. This statement is nothing less than a fatal blow. No matter how he defends himself, no one will believe him.
"Why?" Lan Wu suppressed his anger and thought carefully calmly. Combined with the news he just heard, and combined with the worries he had been having for some time, he soon determined that someone was secretly plotting against him. And this person must be someone of great importance, otherwise Helb, the successor to the title, would not have lied against his will.
Combined with the understanding of the Demon Fortress, the mastermind behind this is self-evident. Apart from the real controller, Archangel Tyrael, who else can make Helb bow his head?
"This birdman!" Lan Wu was furious. At least he had met him once. It was thanks to this birdman that he saved himself and even triggered his awakening, completely controlling the fifteen small amulets. But when he really arrived at the place of this birdman, he was shamelessly framed. The boat of friendship capsized at any time, can we still have fun?
After being furious, he forced himself to calm down. Tyrael's behavior was weird, and what was the reason for this birdman to frame a person with great potential?
"Faith!"
Lan Wu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered this common but real reason. Throughout the ages, there have been countless conspiracies and disputes caused by religious issues. When it comes to political issues, if you can't explain it clearly, you just fight and continue to talk. But when it comes to religious issues, you have to fight to the death.
Since he traveled through time, he has heard countless stories about the gods. He is even a god-given person recognized by Akara himself, the incarnation of the gods walking on the ground. But he has never seen even a little clue.
Before he accidentally entered the God-forsaken Land, he wanted to ask the living legendary heroes such as Bul-Kathos whether the gods really exist. But except for a few words that vaguely prove the existence of the gods, they are very tight-lipped and did not reveal more accurate information.
Although there are only a few words, and no one clearly confirms the existence of the gods, Lan Wu knows that the gods do exist in this world... No, perhaps it should be said that there are three worlds. Putting aside the legendary heroes such as Bul-Kathos, the existence of the gods can also be confirmed in the pure Amazon race led by the Amazon Queen Eko. As the most traditional Amazon tribe, the tradition of believing in the forest goddess has always been the highest tradition among the Amazon tribe.
And angels... Lan Wu does not believe that angels are the gods that most people think. Just from meeting Tyrael once, plus the understanding of the dark historical background, how could he believe that an angel with only light power would transform into a forest goddess to accept the Amazon's faith.
In this way, a common but very reasonable explanation came out.
Gods exist in the world, or gods once existed. But later, with the appearance of angels, the gods disappeared. Why did they disappear? Of course it was war. The war between angels and gods was just to compete for human faith.
Although he was reluctant to admit this speculation, Lan Wu had to accept the reality. After all, this world is not a dark game world. Perhaps most aspects are consistent with each other, but there are also many places that do not match. In this way, the explanation that angels and gods compete for faith and cause the gods to disappear is already reasonable.
The most important thing is to explain why Helb would stand on the side of those people like Fard. I'm afraid that Archangel Tyrael wants to get rid of me, the incarnation of the gods walking on the ground.
After figuring out the key, Lan Wu's face was uncertain. When it comes to the issue of faith, there is nothing to say. It's either you die or I live. Since the two sides are already in opposition, there is even less to say.
Seeing Lan Wu's uncertain face, Volod and others were worried. No one would feel good if they were faced with such a shameless accusation. At this moment, the outside suddenly became noisy.
"Get out!"
Boya and Vina's faces changed. They both recognized that this was Fad's voice. What good results would come from jumping out at this time? So they both looked at Lan Wu.
"It seems I have to leave." Lan Wu suddenly smiled faintly and twisted his neck as if nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry." Boya lowered his head, looking guilty.
"No need to apologize to me." Lan Wu took out the giant war staff, turned around and walked to the second floor, smiling calmly without looking back: "No one can influence my thoughts, except my willingness. Frankly speaking, I don't appreciate you as a captain, but I appreciate your character. Take care of my brother Volod for me... and of course his wife. Take good care of them, and I will come back to thank you in the future."
After the voice fell, Lan Wu raised the giant war staff, teleported away, and disappeared on the stairs. Boya stared blankly at the place where he disappeared, his expression suddenly became firm, and he murmured to himself: "I am indeed not a qualified captain, but I am a competent captain. I swear on my life that I will never let my team members suffer unnecessary harm."
With a bang, the door was knocked open again. Fade and others rushed in, shouting and cursing: "Hand over that shameful guy!"
"Get out of my house!" Boya suddenly exploded, turned around and stared at Fade, the leader, and growled word by word: "Despicable and shameless fraudsters are not welcome here."
Fade was furious. It was not easy to turn the tables in one fell swoop. Although I don't know why Helbu suddenly denied it, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that the reputation is held, the public opinion is reversed, and the final victory still belongs to me. How can I tolerate a loser barking in front of me at this moment. He opened his mouth and was about to curse, but he didn't expect a figure to suddenly appear in front of him and punched his words back.
"This is the demon fortress."
