in the name of the queen

Chapter 156 Most people who believe in the goddess have clear eyes
Sif didn't know that someone was talking about her behind her back.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

She was only worried about being discovered by people in the valley. Others just knew it and she didn't care.

When she entered the valley and saw Roland and Robert talking from a distance, she was stunned.

If it's bad, you won't kill the wrong person, right?

Roland hurriedly shakes people off as soon as he negotiates with them. What's going on?

Although Sif was a little flustered, her hidden movements did not change.

She saw Alina standing not far from Roland, and with an idea, she found the most suitable place for an ambush at the entrance of the valley to hide.

The elves' racial passive can fade into darkness at night.

As long as you don't take the initiative, it is difficult to be discovered.

He pretends to avenge his father and other victims, but in reality he is just pretending.

Robert didn't want to continue talking nonsense and said coldly:
"Teacher Carlo is a man of great wisdom and full of love for the world, but his romantic temperament as a scholar has harmed him. If he listened to me and killed all those dangerous political opponents, how could anything happen next?"

"Maybe you are right. We can postpone the establishment of a government-in-exile, although this will temporarily make us lose our appeal." Robert thought for a moment and accepted Roland's suggestion.

If he has the ability to talk all night, he has plenty of patience.

In the face of Robert's high-profile statement, Roland also made an impassioned speech.

Robert would dare to sell to anyone as long as he was given enough benefits.

Roland guessed half of it right.

"Do you think we and Jin Yuan's current puppet government can still coexist? I must avenge the blood feud between Mr. Carlo and tens of thousands of victims!"

"Mr. Robert, since you mentioned appeal, why don't you recognize Alina's appeal? She is Mr. Carlo's only surviving child, and her appeal must be stronger than others."

She was waiting for the outcome of Roland and Robert's negotiations.

The person has already been killed, and there is nothing that can be done about the wrong person.

Alina, who was on guard at the perimeter, couldn't help but angrily yelled in her heart.

Besides, what can I do if I find out?

"I have heard Alina mention the deeds of his father Mr. Carlo many times, and I admire him very much. Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable and I will never have the opportunity to talk to him."

"We are united on this point. But I am opposed to the immediate formation of a government-in-exile, which would put you at the center of the storm."

It is true that Sif does not wear pendants to sleep, with one exception.

"Mr. Roland, Teacher Carlo and I are completely different. There is no need to compare us."

As long as Roland reached an agreement with the stranger, the deaths of a few guards would not change anything. At most, they would just make more concessions.

Seeing that Robert gave in slightly, Roland continued to take a step closer.

Robert was stunned for a moment, showing a trace of mockery.

She was very disappointed in Robert.

Their future? It’s your future!

He was patient, but Roland didn't have much patience.

Did Sif sleep too much?
Or did you take off the sensor pendant and put it on the bedside?

Besides, there is no proof of death. As long as she doesn't admit it, she was bitten to death by a passing tiger or pecked to death by a flying eagle. It was always not her fault.

Robert knew this was nonsense, but the warm-up and testing before negotiations were normal, so he didn't think much about it.

He is still using these wanderers as resources to negotiate deals with Roland.

Thinking about it, who knew he would come out and play rough tricks with others at night? He didn't explain it in advance before setting off. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to sleep with a pendant on if he had nothing to do?

If Roland breaks up with him, he will be silenced too!
After thinking about it, Sif's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she no longer had any mood swings.

Roland greeted the refugees and expressed his concern.

"Mr. Roland, we have different styles of doing things. I am very realistic. There are a total of 37,550 people in the homeless camp, and I am responsible for their future."

She silenced her very cleanly, and it can only be said that it was a trick of fate that she was discovered.

"But I cannot accept the way you resettle us. Why don't you support us in forming a government-in-exile in Hanse?"

"It is true that the governorate under your jurisdiction is very close to here, and shipping is also very convenient. You have also prepared a ready-made camp for us. I am very grateful."

Since Sif isn't coming, there's no need to wait, let's show off!
Roland made a decision silently, looked at Robert and said with a sigh:

"Fortunately, I met his most valued disciple today. I'm really lucky to see a bit of the old gentleman's style in you."

It's impossible to be completely invisible in the dark, but if you hide it well, you'll be almost undetectable.

He waited quietly for Roland to talk nonsense.

This is not a simple negotiation.

That is not a pendant, but a receiver for Roland to shout for help. This cannot be taken off.

Sif is not an elf, but her extraordinary profession gives her some elf characteristics.

"Mr. Roland, this is the thinking of you Sussex people. In the Kingdom of Jinyuan, bloodline is not important. I am the teacher's most valued disciple, and only I can represent him."

"To be blunt, Miss Alina has not inherited any of the teacher's outstanding qualities except for her bloodline. Who would accept her as the leader?"

Robert didn't care about Alina's mood and continued to strike, "If Miss Alina really wants to avenge her father, she should support me instead of seeking fame and power."

"Where was Miss Alina when I went through so many hardships in the country to bring these people out?"

Alina's face was very ugly, but she didn't speak.

She knew that the negotiations would inevitably break down, she just didn't know what Roland was waiting for.

Are you waiting for dawn?
At dawn, there is no way to frame the werewolf raised by Jin Yuan Kingdom.

Although confused, Alina still didn't speak. She chose to believe Roland.

Just when Robert was getting impatient, Roland finally gave in.

"Okay, Mr. Robert, what you said makes sense. I have another question. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I accept all your conditions."

"All conditions?"

Robert was a little surprised.

His conditions are quite harsh, can Roland even accept this?
The first condition is to set aside suitable land for them to live in and establish a residential area without being disturbed by outsiders.

This condition is a basic condition and can be accepted by all forces that are willing to accept it.

It's not surprising that Roland agreed to this.

The second condition is that the wanderers govern themselves, abide by the laws of Sussex, and do not accept transfers from officials, but they can provide technical services to Roland and receive compensation through work.

The third condition is to establish a government-in-exile when conditions are suitable. In return, the administrators among the wanderers can first serve Roland.

The fourth condition is that the exiled government can leave on its own at the right time and form an alliance with Roland after they regain power.

If Roland agrees to these four points, this team of wanderers will become Robert's subordinates instead of Roland's resources.

Although Roland can get a lot of talents, Robert still feels strange.

In short, this is a condition that is very beneficial to him but not very beneficial to Roland.

He was a little curious. What did Roland want to know?
Is it the secret of the coup?
Roland stared into Robert's eyes and calmly asked the explosive question, "How much benefit did you get from betraying Mr. Carlo?"

Robert's unruffled pupils suddenly narrowed.

He panicked.

Roland shouted sharply: "Do it!"

He pulled out his pistol, held both guns in his hands, and fired directly.

Caught off guard, Robert subconsciously dodged and luckily dodged one bullet, but another one accurately hit his neck.

Alchemy bombs and smoke bombs exploded instantly, turning the battlefield into chaos.

Alina appeared behind Robert like lightning, and her scimitar was like the moon, heading straight for the vital point.

Her eyes were red, as scarlet as blood.

Roland's question deceived the truth, it was Robert who betrayed his father.

She finally understood why her father, who had great control over the political arena, was killed by political opponents, and even the family was brought to ruin. She also suspected that there was a mole at the time, and even suspected Robert, who was cold and inhuman.

However, Robert and Jin Yuan had many violent conflicts with the current government, and many people on both sides were killed and injured. She really couldn't doubt it.

In her mind, Robert is her father's most valued disciple. Her father knows him well and should not be wrong about him.

At most, he just didn't see Robert's selfishness and indifference clearly, and he would never let the mole around him.

Now it seems that my father was really wrong.

Alina suddenly trembled, remembering the letter her father wrote to her before the glorious day.

Her father tactfully mentioned that he wanted her to find a marriage partner who was willing to marry into the family and had no family background.

He also mentioned in the letter that there was already a suitable candidate she was familiar with.

At that time, Alina was still curious about who her father was interested in, but now she completely understands.

His father was deceived by Robert's superb acting skills and decided not to let his wealth go to outsiders, so he made his most valued disciple his son-in-law.

My father has always been in control, and his long-term success has gradually developed a subtle arrogance in him.

If you marry into a family, you can become one of the top families in the country and marry a beautiful bride. Normally, this can make a poor boy with no family background burst into tears of gratitude.

But Robert was not a simple person, and his father was really wrong.

Alina understands her father. He is committed to integrating the advantages of higher intelligent life and evolving the best new human beings through long-term intermarriage.

And Robert is the outstanding foreign race he likes.

In order to promote evolution, he even did not hesitate to let his daughter marry a foreign race.

He is really too idealistic.

Although the association was complex, it only flashed through Alina's mind for a moment.

Alina struck harder.

She had never thought about getting married, and she didn't think there was any harbor that could accommodate her wandering heart.

She even wants to be single for the rest of her life.

Rather than a political marriage, she hopes to make a breakthrough on the road to becoming stronger.

Even if she does get married, she will make the marriage a resting place for love instead of a hotbed of stinky exchange of interests.

Father was wrong, so wrong!
She wanted to make up for this mistake herself.

She fired.

Her marksmanship is better than Roland's, and although her pistol is a single shot, it is more powerful.

Robert was hit hard on the back and fell hard.

Just when Alina was holding a long knife in her hand and preparing to give Robert a fatal blow, Robert, who was lying on the ground, suddenly let out a horrifying laugh.

Robert, who was shot twice, rolled continuously and stood up again.

"Stupid humans, this kind of thing is only suitable as a toy, do you want to use it to kill people?"

Robert's black pupils turned bloody red, the fingertips of his hands became extremely sharp, his fangs slowly stretched out from his lips, and the wound that had just been hit by the bullet stopped bleeding and recovered as before.

He stuck out the tip of his tongue, licked his lips, and looked at Alina with a sneer, "Alina, your father has agreed to let you be my wife at the cost of me inheriting his surname."

"I agree, but only after taming you."

"As for this troublesome fool, his body will be the bed where we will enjoy our bliss on our wedding night!"

With the shouting, Robert rushed towards Roland like lightning.

vampire? !

Roland looked solemn.

As the day of return approaches, the mysterious power hidden in the darkness gradually emerges.

Vampires are legendary creatures that look exactly like humans, but have a lower body temperature.

But humans also have subspecies with lower body temperatures, and people don't suspect them.

Vampires are divided into two main schools: vegetarian and blood-eating.

Vegetarian vampires are not really vegetarians, but rather drink animal blood. The blood-eating school is a vampire that directly sucks human blood.

It is said that the blood of intelligent life is sweeter, so blood food is the final form of vampires.

Vegetarian vampires just don't have the conditions.

They will also eat blood if given the chance.

Robert was basically immune to damage from pistols and swords. Facing Roland and Alina, he did not panic at all even though they were one against two.

Until Roland opened his clothes and took out the icon of the goddess of fertility.

Robert's face changed drastically, and he screamed repeatedly: "You are a devout believer, how is this possible?!"

Roland smiled and said nothing.

Most people with devout beliefs have clear eyes and are extremely confident. Their faith gradually increases, and finally they become people recognized by the goddess. Belief in gods will change a person's temperament and even his destiny.
Although devout believers carry holy icons with them, they do not need these things to prove themselves.

Roland has no faith, so he needs this thing to help him prove his position.

There are indeed benefits to believing in the goddess, so I put it to use.

Vampires hate icons and are afraid of holy light.

The light of the goddess of fertility almost blinded his eyes.

Robert was a little panicked. The holy elephant in Roland's hand was definitely a genuine one filled with holy water. This kind of holy elephant sold for a very high price.

Who the hell would spend a lot of money on this thing if they weren’t a believer?
Although he was furious in his heart, Robert knew that he could not hurt Roland who was wearing the sacred elephant. He was firmly in an invincible position, so he began to think about retreating.

Gunshots rang out, but the guards outside the valley did not make any movement. It was obviously an accident.

People who like to be in control hate surprises.

So does Robert.

He stepped hard and his body turned into a ball of blood mist, appearing directly at the mouth of the valley.

"Roland, Alina, goodbye! I will take these people back to my hometown, the Kingdom of Wallachia, and you won't get a single one of them, MUHAHAHA!"

Although he was embarrassed, Robert was not fatally injured and was naturally very arrogant.

Of course Roland would not let him leave.

He grabbed the holy elephant in his hand and threw it hard, hitting the blood mist accurately.

Robert screamed and revealed his true form.

His face was covered in blood and his eyes were full of panic.

He never dreamed that someone would dare to throw the goddess's icon as a weapon.

Except for Roland, an infidel who has no faith.

Robert was seriously injured, but he still had a backup plan.

He bit his tongue violently and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. His speed suddenly increased and he had already rushed to the mouth of the valley.

Just as he was about to leave, a dazzling light appeared in the dark night.

"In the name of the goddess, purify the filth in front of you!"

Sif opened her arms, and her whole body was enveloped in soft divine light.

Roland is Roland, she is her.

Just because Roland has no faith does not mean that she is not pious.

She is a pure believer who has received the blessing of holy water at the age of twelve.

Her clear eyes were a testament to her piety.

Damn vampire, go to hell!
The holy light descended and screams rang out.

Robert turned into a pool of blood in endless fear and was completely purified.
