Chapter 341 It Doesn’t Matter
At the tax collector's home.
After the controlled tax collector was freed from the mind control that Levi had set up in his mind, this young pastor from Green Sun, who inherited the parrot Red's Chosen One and was also called Lord Red, learned everything that happened directly from the tax collector's mind.
Regarding the death of another Red, and the cooperation and planning that Levi made with Sherlock after Levi took control of Green Sun's power in New Orleans, he quickly judged the purpose of Levi's doing all this.
The tax collector did not see the details of Red's killing, but as a biological Chosen One, he could accurately judge Levi's strength from the way the tax collector was controlled.
Not reaching the Chosen One, but being able to kill Red, this is obviously also a special third level. Judging from experience, it is very likely that he was once a Chosen One who had power, but was deprived of his power due to some unknown accident.
From the fact that he later controlled Green Day to cooperate with the kid from the Green family, it can be seen that this person obviously belongs to the alliance recently formed by the Western Region. What they are doing now is most likely to be planning against the Grand Duke Stuart.
As the core of Green Day, the young pastor certainly knows the relationship between the Stuart family and Green Day. Before coming, he also retrieved the key to the identity of the current Grand Duke Stuart.
So, when these clues are combined, a complete chain of events surfaced.
The Western Region Alliance not only sent the person from the Green family to Xinlan, but also the man who claimed to be Wu Wei was sent by them. He came to Xinlan earlier and lurked in the dark, specifically investigating the disappearance of the Grand Duke's parents in private.
At this time, Parrot Red made a test without knowing the other party's character and strength at all. It was because of this test that he exposed himself, and was finally caught by the other party and killed. The few people Green Day had in Xinlan were also controlled.
Then Sherlock arrived and met Wu Wei. It was unknown what kind of discussion and communication they had. They did not choose to force the Grand Duke to take sides during the period when Green Day had been completely squeezed out. Instead, they used the two missing Grand Duke parents as bait to trick him.
The man named Wu Wei did not let the tax officer participate in any core and important things. He was just ordered to do various things and did not understand the reasons behind the things.
But the young pastor did not think that the Grand Duke Stuart would be so easily deceived and killed by two juniors. This matter itself was simply impossible.
Not to mention the dukes of the Western Region, they have an extraordinary sense of the rules of the city they are in. They are almost like the creators of the tower, transforming the space where the city exists into their own domain. The entry of any chosen one will arouse the vigilance of these people.
If there is a battle at the level of the chosen one, there will not be any news in the whole of Xinlan until now.
A dying counterattack of a chosen one is enough to destroy more than half of the city. It is impossible to be so calm.
So Pastor Hong is now more inclined to believe that Wu Wei and Sherlock want to jointly create a false impression, frame Green Day, and completely push the Grand Duke to the opposite side of Green Day, so they made such a fuss together.
Pastor Hong didn't care about this at all.
Because he knew that he couldn't hide it at all, he didn't cover up at all when he came to Xinlan. Grand Duke Stuart must have sensed his arrival as soon as the train arrived in the city.
Now he should have sent someone or come to find him in person.
As long as he meets the Grand Duke, all the plans of the alliance will be in vain. Even if the Grand Duke still wants to be fair and still doesn't want to stand on the same side, he will kill Wu Wei, Sherlock and all the people of the alliance in Xinlan, and ask the Stuart family to give an explanation.
Although he didn't like the parrot with the same name as himself, and even hated it, but the people of Green Day died outside, especially one of the seven colors, so this kind of thing couldn't be settled so peacefully.
Sure enough, Pastor Hong didn't wait for long.
A personal secretary of the Grand Duke Stuart, who was from the Grand Duke's mansion, came to visit him and asked him about his purpose.
Pastor Hong was not polite or hesitant at all. Even if he did not inherit the rule of biological mind control, it would not be a problem for him to crack the third-order mind control, and it was even easier to read the memory of an ordinary person.
He did not find any signs of being controlled from this secretary, and the person who assigned him to come to him was not the Grand Duke himself, but a close confidant who followed the Grand Duke to the edge of the barrier.
Through the decree of that person, the secretary came to the tax collector's house to test whether the Chosen One who suddenly came to Xinlan was an enemy or a friend.
If there was no hostility, they would arrange to meet again near the barrier.
For such a result, Pastor Hong narrowed his eyes slightly.
From this information, it seems that there is nothing to be suspicious or worried about. If one must say one thing, it is that a chosen one entered the city without any prior notice. This behavior is equivalent to provocation. Most of the Grand Dukes will take the initiative to come for the sake of caution to avoid any bad accidents.
But the Grand Duke only sent a secretary
Of course, this situation can also be explained by the fact that he was indeed involved in something planned by Sherlock and Wu Wei and could not get away for the time being.
But Pastor Hong's intuition told him that this kind of thing would not be that simple.
While he was thinking, he still maintained a light smile on his face, which was very sunny and made people subconsciously feel good about him.
The secretary, who didn't realize that his memory had been completely wiped out, looked at him with a panicked expression as he suddenly stood up from his chair.
Coming to question a chosen one who broke into a private city without reporting is obviously an extremely dangerous job. Even if he was prepared to be killed before coming, the secretary still couldn't avoid it after seeing Pastor Hong's actions. He took two steps back.
But on his face, he still gritted his teeth and said seriously.
"Sir! Please think clearly! The Stuart family is never afraid of going to war with any force!"
"Stuart family? Start a war?" Pastor Hong chuckled. His smile was still so gentle, but the secretary inexplicably heard the sarcasm in it, "Instead of threatening me here, why don't you take me to see your Grand Duke? How about it? Didn’t he say that if I didn’t have any hostility, he would let you take me to the barrier?”
Hearing these words that he had not yet said, the secretary's eyes showed surprise, but he quickly calmed down. The other party was the chosen one, and no one should be surprised by his abilities.
He took a deep breath and made an inviting gesture.
"Then please, please come with me."
Pastor Hong got into a car with his secretary and drove towards the barrier.
Towards evening, the car finally stopped by the barrier. Today's capitalists seemed to have shown a rare kindness and gave all the workers in the factory a day off. The factory was not as bright as in the past when it was dark. The atmosphere of the lamps was working, and the entire fortress was very quiet. Except for the close aides of the Stuart family who followed the Grand Duke out of the Grand Duke's Palace, no one else could be seen at all.
And the further they got here, the more intense the mockery in the priest's red eyes became.
He was led to a tunnel entrance on the rampart. Next to the entrance, the ginkgo tree emblem of the Stuart family could be clearly seen.
"The Duke is waiting for you in the secret room of Stuart's house. I'll take you in." The secretary who brought him here lowered his head and said.
However, Hong sat motionless in the car. He smiled and shook his head.
"This method is too crude. In the eyes of your Lord Duke, am I such a brainless person? Even that idiot Lan will not be fooled like this."
The secretary's face showed a look of confusion without any pretense.
"Did you misunderstand something?"
"Your Grand Duke doesn't seem to regard you as his own family. He didn't say anything and doesn't care about your lives."
After Pastor Hong's words fell, a slight tremor suddenly appeared on the originally calm ground!
The next second, countless insects of all kinds burst out of the ground!
None of the surrounding Stuart family members, whether they were ordinary people or scientists, could react and were instantly overwhelmed by the sea of insects!
The desperate wails and screams were like a song that was forced to press the pause button after playing for less than a second. It stopped abruptly before it could even sound from the throat.
The swarms of insects were like dark clouds rising from the ground. After eating away all the flesh and blood, they flew freely in the sky, leaving only the clean bones lying quietly on the ground.
It's like there is only one living person in this land, Priest Hong!
"Bang!"
After getting out of the car and closing the door for someone, Pastor Hong looked towards the deep entrance of the barrier safe house.
"If you want to trick me into taking action, you can definitely plan more carefully and be more prepared. To treat me like a fool, you are a little too insulting, aren't you? Duke Stuart."
As his words fell, a slender figure slowly walked out of the entrance with a slender weapon in his hand.
When he saw that figure's overly young but almost perfect face, the smile on the pastor's red face froze, and his brows subconsciously frowned slightly.
Just like what he said, the method of luring him into a certain place and doing things to him was indeed very crude and very low-level.
However, before, he had just thought that the alliance had really accomplished something, and had promised some unknown benefits to draw the Archduke Stuart over. He had guessed his identity and origin, and wanted to attack him today.
But the young man who walked out in front of him was somewhat familiar, but quite unfamiliar, and he was definitely not one of the chosen ones in the Western Region. The pastor's heart became solemn.
He is very confident in his own strength and is confident that he will not be at a disadvantage against any chosen one, but this is not necessarily true for two people together.
But just because you can't fight doesn't mean you can't run away.
It's not that easy to kill a chosen one. The opponent definitely doesn't have enough manpower, otherwise they wouldn't trick him into entering a strange secret room like the barrier.
At this time, where did the young man in front of him give him a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling? Pastor Hong finally recalled it after quickly retrieving his memory!
More than two years ago, when others in Green Day had not yet fully recovered, he was playing role-playing games in a church in a city in the Eastern Region. When he was a respected, kind and upright bishop, through Twilight Through the channels of the Church of Light, he learned that something big had happened in the city of the sun.
The bishop of Twilight was killed, the parliament was slaughtered, and the whole city was in rebellion. This made Pastor Hong very interested. He specifically found the wanted order for the villains who committed these things that was only circulated in the sun. At that time, the biological man named 626 left an impression on him.
Now, the young man who walked out of the safe room, with a natural and perfect face, was the biological man 626 who was confirmed dead at that time!
After recognizing this face, Pastor Hong's face couldn't help but become a little incredible.
"Why are you here?"
Levi also saw that the man dressed as a Twilight priest recognized him. He was a little surprised about this, but he didn't care much.
It doesn't matter if he recognizes him.
"You built this city? Why do you care where I am?"
Hearing this answer, Pastor Hong smiled again.
"Where is the Grand Duke? How long will he hide?"
"If you want to find his body, you can go inside." Levi just said calmly.
This was the second time, the second time after seeing Levi, the priest couldn't help showing a surprised expression in his red eyes.
"You killed him?"
"How can I kill you if I don't kill him?"
"You killed him and took his Chosen One? But how can you kill him without the Chosen One?"
"You have so many questions."
Although Levi wanted to chat, he was annoyed by his questions.
Especially this beast from Green Day was wearing a priest's clothes, and he had the same one before, which made Levi a little unhappy and felt that he was imitated.
He really wanted to kill this Chosen One from Green Day, and this method of inviting him into the trap was indeed very crude.
But Levi didn't intend to really trick him in. The reason why the Stuart Grand Guild went in was because he was not the Chosen One at that time, and he had no guard at all, but this Green Day Chosen One was different.
Therefore, Levi only took it as an attempt that was better than nothing. If the other party's brain was really not working and was tricked in, it would undoubtedly make it easier for him to do it later.
If he couldn't trick him in, it didn't matter.
He gently raised the black straight knife in his hand.
The next second.
Wind, rain, thunder and lightning, snow, fog, frost and dew, cheered and welcomed their true master!
