There was an uproar in the audience at the sight of Richard's bloody kneeling. All the members of the blood blade stood up and rushed to the challenge arena like a tide. They all looked bad. But when he didn't get to the challenge arena, he suddenly saw Richard raise his hand and then yelled, "what are you going to do? Do you want others to see Laozi's jokes? "
With that, Richard looked at zero with a smile, but he was reluctant to smile.
Drop by drop——
Something dropped on the challenge arena and made a slight sound. At this time, someone noticed that there was a blood line spreading down on zero's right hand and a blood puddle dripping at his feet. It turned out that he was also injured. Seeing this, the members of blood blade were relieved. I don't know who called "draw" and followed the call of draw.
It seemed that Richard was tied and didn't lose, and there was light on their faces. But they forgot that in the past ten years, no one had been able to force Richard to draw. In fact, for Richard, there is no difference between a draw and a loss.
But for zero, that's what he needs. If Richard wins, he will be in the limelight and will be doubted. But if he lost, Richard would not recognize his strength and would not be interested in the deal he just proposed. So a draw is the best result at the moment. Of course, he created this situation on purpose.
Richard was not qualified to hurt him, or let him be so obviously hurt. At least Richard can't hurt him until he has the ability to kill madly. The injury of the right hand is self-made. The method is not troublesome, just deliberately let the Qi strength of the previous attack hurt the surface of the arm. It seems serious, but in fact it's just a slight wound.
At the end of the battle, a few families were happy and a few worried. Few people who bet on zero naturally get huge returns, while those who bet on Raymond don't make any money. However, the fight in the arena is broadcast in real time in the bars of the free zone, so that the gamblers can see the results at the first time. So we saw a wonderful battle, and people have nothing to say.
What's more, Richard came down in person to see the madman's fight, and those who bet on Raymond didn't feel shocked.
Richard looked at the scar on his chest. It was about ten centimeters long, and the skin and flesh were rolling out. It was still bleeding. But the wound was not deep, at least not visceral. If the wound went down and deeper, Richard might explain it tonight. When he looked at zero, he wondered whether the man had deliberately let the wound drift, otherwise how could such a serious injury appear.
There was no time for him to deliberate. Now that the battle was over, the soldiers in charge of law enforcement came forward naturally. But for the zero who can draw with Richard, they give enough respect. First of all, the zero's arm was bandaged, and then he was asked to leave. The zero heel soldier gave Richard a wink before he left the fighting field. As for what this wink means, nature can only make a clear understanding.
Out of the fighting field, heard the news of the city residents have flocked to the fighting field nearby, surrounded by a watertight. Seeing the zero coming out, these people even cheered at his market. Suddenly, the sound wave was higher than the wave, and some people even chanted his name excitedly.
Of course, the only thing they scream about is "Rafael.".
In this incomprehensible frenzy, zero was taken to an armored car. There were four armed soldiers in the car, but even so, when they looked at zero, their faces were still very nervous. Zero is relaxed, and then will be taken to Thebes prison, all in accordance with his plan. He closed his eyes and waited quietly for his reunion with Cinderella.
To his surprise, the armored car did not arrive at the prison or even the ground military base, but drove into the city defense department. The car stopped in a small square, and the soldiers on the car politely asked to come down. Nominally, zero is already a prisoner, but he has not been shackled, which gives him enough face. Led by several soldiers, zero came to an office.
One of the soldiers said to him, "Mr. Rafael, please wait here. We've just been informed that Colonel krauber will come to see you in person. Oh, by the way, he's warden shearer's adjutant
Zero slightly frowned and said, "I thought I was going straight to Thebes."
"It was supposed to be like this according to the procedure, but tonight seems to be special." The soldier shrugged and said, "sorry, I don't know much. I'll talk to you in person when Colonel clouber comes
There are some deviations in the plan. If someone was killed in the battle, they should be sent directly to Thebes prison. Now the soldiers have taken him to the city defense department, and there's a captain who wants to see him. No matter how you look at it, it's not like a normal procedure. If so, there are only two possibilities. One is what happened to Thebes prison itself; Second, his identity may have been revealed.
But the second one is unlikely. After all, Rafael's identity was provided by the dark brotherhood. At this juncture, the brotherhood, which has been in hot water with Solon, has no reason to hold him back.When he closed his eyes and deliberated on the cause of love, zero finally heard the sound of footsteps outside. The sound of footsteps showed that there were several people. One of them had a steady pace and a small voice. He was obviously a good player. Then the door of the office opened and eight soldiers rushed in, standing in two lines and saluting. Then a 30-year-old male officer came in. As soon as he came in, he met zero with a rather warm attitude.
He opened his hand and said in a loud voice, "this must be Mr. Raphael. Mr. Raphael is a celebrity now. It's just that on the first day I came, I was tied with crazy Richard. What a surprise
Zero perfunctory way: "just fluke."
Colonel clouber patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "indeed, you don't know Richard. On the whole, you are very lucky, Mr. Lafayette. It's hard to say whether you can stand in front of me now, if you don't end this fight before Richard is really mad. "
"But anyway, luck is also a kind of strength. And I like people with good luck. I hope you can bring me good luck, too. " Krauber said with a smile: "according to the normal procedure, we have to invite Mr. Raphael to visit our Thebes prison. But with Mr. Lafayette's performance today, I will make a decision on behalf of the warden. Mr. Rafael can leave here after paying the ransom. He doesn't have to go to our big prison for another round. What do you think? "
People have said that, can zero still persist? But he didn't know what prompted the prison to change its procedures. Was it just because of the war between him and Richard?
The next procedure was much simpler. Under the instruction of krauber, the soldier used his brain to transfer Raymond's credit point to zero's account, and deducted 10000 credit points from zero's account as a ransom. After deducting the ransom, zero still has 290000 credit points, which is a huge sum of money.
When he went through the formalities at zero, clauber left first with important matters. Then don't leave and concentrate on him. I was surprised to hear krauber leave the office and seem to be talking with someone outside.
The man who talked with the Colonel seemed to be very surprised by the arrival of clauber. Although they lowered their voice, they couldn't hide it from zero.
Only a strange voice said, "Colonel, why are you here in person?"
"No way. The news just came from the city of Rome that Lord Solon was going to postpone the execution of the important prisoner at the bottom for a few days, so many arrangements had to be reconsidered. "
"Postponement of execution? Why? "
"Little people like us don't know, and it's not our turn to care about these things. Just do our own business well. In a word, the next few days will be very busy, and the city will be handed over to you. You have to keep an eye on those guys. Don't let them make any trouble at this critical moment. And tell Wallace to keep a low profile during this time, and don't provoke that madman or black wing. In a word, let him do what he wants after the execution. "
"I understand. Oh, the Colonel should have seen that Raphael. "
"Just met. What's the matter?"
"He can draw with Richard. Should we consider absorbing him, just like Wallace?"
Krauber seemed to think for a while, then said: "this can be considered. After all, it is not a good trend to let Wallace dominate. But let's wait for this time. "
"Yes, I know what to do."
Then there was the sound of footsteps, and Colonel krauber and his guards left. But the next moment, someone pushed the door in. The soldier who was going through the formalities for zero immediately saluted the man and said, "good evening, defense chief!"
This is a man in his forties. He is out of shape, with loose abdominal muscles and dark blue under his eyes. The energy breath of the body is very light, obviously a person who has been immersed in wine for many years and has been hollowed out by those things.
VICH, the defense chief of sin city, is also the largest official in the city. He squeezed out a smile on his face, exchanged greetings with zero, and then led the soldiers to send him back. After sending away zero, VICH sighed: "there are more and more difficult people like this. Before Richard, Wallace and black wing, now there is another Rafael. In a few days' time, the important criminal will be executed again. How can I feel that the position of defense chief is going to be incarcerated? "
Zero did not hear Vicki's sigh, but like Vicki, he was also slightly lost. From what clauber said, it seems that something happened in Rome, which made soron postpone his execution. In this way, Thebes prison will have to be rearranged. During the important period of defense deployment, outsiders will not be allowed to enter at will, so zero night's wishful thinking is lost.
Missing tonight, he had to find a way to get into Thebes again. But what should we do? Thinking about it, it finally fell on Richard and Gordon.From today's contact, the seemingly useless old man Gordon is obviously not as simple as the surface, and crazy Richard is not lonely in his heart. More importantly, they are the local leaders of the city of sin. If you want to succeed, I'm afraid you have to cooperate with them.
Back in the city, as soon as I got out of the car, zero noticed that the people wandering around in twos and threes were all members of blood blade. After the armored car left, several big men gathered around and said respectfully to zero, "Mr. Rafael, our boss wants to see you. He's in the vaulting horse bar now."
Seeing the puzzled expression on zero's face, the chatting up man said, "well, after you leave. Our boss saw that the military vehicles were not going to Thebes prison, but to the city defense department. So the boss guessed that you will be back soon. He said, "it's the first time in recent years that I've been playing so hard. I'll treat you to a drink when you come back."
"I see. Let's go." Let's talk about the cooperation tonight.
Yuema bar is full of lights. Although it's late at night, there is such a sensation in the evening that the drinkers are sleepless. Besides, usually, these guys will not leave until the next day's limited time. Therefore, every night, the free zone is always very busy.
However, the difference is that the bar is full of people with blood blade, and no one else can enter. The bar is basically reserved for the blade of blood. Now there is only one outsider who can sit in the bar.
In the box where he chatted with zero, Richard drank in silence, while Gordon sat silent. The dull atmosphere in the box and the outside are just like two worlds. After a while, Richard said, "who is he?"
"It's not clear who he is, but I'm sure he's not Raphael." Gordon yawned.
"Of course, it won't be a soft guy like Rafael. If he was Rafael, Raymond wouldn't lose so quickly and miserably!" Richard sneered.
Gordon said, "what do you decide to do? To the military? "
"I'm not Wallace's loyal dog. Why should I please the military?" Richard scoffed: "it doesn't matter to me who he is. The important thing is that he can make my dull life wonderful, that's enough. "
"Lunatic." Gordon sighed.
Richard glared at him and said, "what about you, you're not going to reveal something to black wing?"
"You're his father. Maybe this intelligence can make the military look at Black Wing differently."
Gordon raised his head, sneered and said: "if black wing wants to join the military, how can he get Wallace? Save it. He's not interested in these things at all
"Of course, he is most interested in Sauron, isn't he?"
Gordon's face changed slightly and did not answer.
"I heard that an important criminal will be executed here in a few days. At that time, maybe Solon will show up. Maybe your precious son will set a fire in the city first. "
"No matter what he wants to do, I support him." Gordon murmured.
Richard seemed to be bored and yawned: "why is it so slow? Doesn't it mean that the military vehicles have gone to the city defense department? In this way, our dear Mr. Raphael should be put back. You know, old man, he wants me to rebel. What an interesting guy. "
"In my opinion, crazy Richard doesn't look like a submissive person, so rebellion is not a fuss, is it?" Zero push the door, and then Richard's last sentence.
Richard's eyes lit up and said, "you're the first one to call me crazy face to face, and I don't want to beat you up for a while."
"Isn't that something to celebrate?" Zero was not polite. He picked up a bottle of beer and opened it. Then the bottle collided with Richard and had a good drink.
After swallowing the froth, Richard wiped his mouth and grinned, "now is the time to tell us something? Mr. Rafael, this is the cornerstone of cooperation. If you don't want to say it, let's break up. "
When she came to the bar, she was worried. He knew that it would be counterproductive to try to impress a madman to understand such a person, so he simply said, "as I told you in the arena before, I'm here to save people. That's right. The friend I'm going to save is the prisoner soron is going to be publicly executed! "
As soon as Gordon loosened his hand, the bottle almost fell to the ground. Richard next to him caught it and glared at him. "You're so old. It's worth making a fuss about that."
Gordon gave him a look back, followed by a wry smile and said, "is that all? It doesn't look like a small thing. "He looked at zero again and said, "now we are more and more curious about your identity. Who on earth are you, who dares to sneak in alone and rescue the person who was executed by Solon?"
"I'm zero, and if you've heard of the recent retreat of the papal hall by invaders from the south, you should know me. Because I'm the leader of the invaders. Now, can I trust you? " Zero lightly looking at two people.
Richard didn't seem to know what was going on outside. He looked at Gordon. Gordon widened his eyes and mouth. After a while, he suddenly snatched the wine bottle from Richard's hand, and then poured the remaining half bottle into his stomach. Seeing that, Richard next to him was stunned and said, "don't you die, old man?"
Gordon wiped the bar, shook his head and said with a smile, "if you know who he is, you should know. After hearing what he said, we are in fact on the brink of death. If we don't want to cooperate with you, I'm afraid you will kill us on the spot now, right? The leader of the sea god group, Lord zero? "
"Cinderella is very important to me and I don't want Sauron to know what's going on. So if necessary, I will! " Zero point first.
Richard said, "don't you explain to me what's going on, old man Gordon, believe it or not, I'll tear down your old bones!"
Gao Dengheng glanced at him and said, "who makes you only know how to fight and drink, and don't care about what happens in the outside world. Now I regret it. I don't even know who is sitting in front of me. "
Seeing that Richard's forehead was full of veins, Gordon gave up the idea of continuing to entertain him. He beat the Poseidon group all the way from roar bay to Kanon fortress, and then pushed northward from the bloody road, giving a general account of the papal hall. Only at this time did Richard know who he lost.
