Chapter 14 Invitation to the White Tower
Chapter 14 Invitation to the White Tower
During the few days when Luo Ding and Noah were in a hurry to get angry, the beast tide seemed to intensify. The entire Solomon Tower was panicked even by the slaves. Every day, the slaves died under the claws of the beasts, and even herds of strange beasts broke into the town. Harm residents.These strange beasts come and go without a trace, and they are hard to guard against. No one has even found their foothold.
Noah's wounds slowly closed. Although it didn't look as scary as before, it was obvious that he couldn't rest in peace after being exposed to the sun and working.They took advantage of the chaos to explore the underground maze extending in all directions, but due to time constraints, they could not go too far, but this was enough to surprise them. The maze seemed terrifyingly large, except for the area where Martha strictly prohibited them from entering. In addition, what is marked on the map can be said to be just the tip of the iceberg.
Heidi's transaction has never had any special clues. Fortunately, Heidi is not in a hurry. They successfully saved some nutrient solution, and even started to prepare for the escape plan.
There are no lights in the dormitory, and you can’t see your fingers when it gets dark. It’s the signal to go to work at dawn. If you don’t want to be chased away by the supervisor with a whip, you have to consciously get up early.But today was different. Just after dawn, the supervisor Okuda kicked open the door of the dormitory, waking up all the sleepy laborers.
"Rodin, Noah, which one is it?"
As soon as the words fell, the people around him quickly moved around, leaving Luo Ding and Noah alone in the corner.
The supervisor of Okudah barely moved his huge body, and gave them a little bit of poor peripheral vision: "It's you? Come with me, there is no need to start work today. The great priest is going to entertain the distinguished guests of the imperial capital at the White Tower, You have been chosen as representatives of hard labor to attend the dinner."
Fiery gazes fell on their bodies, and both of them could not help but shudder.Not to mention Luo Ting, even Noah is a little confused. What does this representative of hard labor represent?On behalf of the hard labor, complain about the inhumane laws of the empire and the inhumane torture at the Tower of Solomon?
However, the supervisor of Okuda obviously wouldn't give them any chance to communicate in depth, and quickly ordered someone to wash them and put on clean clothes before sending them to the White Tower.He has little curiosity, after all, this is just a political mission.
When they arrived at the White Tower, Qinglin's family had already arrived. The old lady was leading the table and sat upright on the left side of the long table. Martha and Kexi were not there, and beside Qinglin was another little girl with an expressionless face.Her hair, too, was pulled back as tightly as her grandma's, and she looked far more haughty than Cauchy.
The appearance of hard labor seemed to have taken them by surprise, and the little princess sneered: "Why can anyone enter the White Tower now?"
But obviously there is no seat for hard labor here, they can only poke straight behind the family and watch them eat.
"Tiya, pay attention to your manners. This is the White Tower. What do you look like?" The old lady cleared her throat suddenly, and after giving orders to the little princess, she turned her head and aimed the cannon at Noah again, "I can't see that you are quite scheming." Yes, it’s only been a long time, and you’ve walked from the sandy mountains and the rocky seas to the White Tower banquet. It’s really not to be underestimated. But you’d better give up, as long as I’m with you, you won’t be able to get rid of your status as a slave in the Tower of Solomon. Opportunity there to get any convenience!"
"Grandma, my grandson has his own judgment on this matter." Qinglin's face was also a little helpless, "The matter of the alien beast has nothing to do with them, I will find out the reason as soon as possible, please don't attack indiscriminately."
"They are all criminals of the empire, do you sympathize with them?" The old lady's eyes swept over them coldly, "What is the difference between them and those orcs? But they are all low-blooded people! Only worthy of day and night Do coolies to atone for the filthy sins in their veins!"
Noah's scalp exploded from the beginning of "Beastman", and he never heard what the old lady said afterwards.The orcs are a nation unique to the alliance, they are naturally brave and good at fighting, and they are also infinitely powerful. For hundreds of years, the empire has suffered a lot from the orcs several times.However, after the War of the Stars, the orc clan was almost wiped out, and it was reappeared in Solomon Tower at this moment after 11 years. I am afraid that the Alliance's government-in-exile has also arrived in this land.
A small planet has brought together the forces of empires, pirates, and alliances. If it is said that this is just an accident, it is unbelievable for Noah to have his head blown off, but the forces that pull these forces are in a mess. , Teach people can't figure out a little clue.
Luo Ting poked him suddenly and calmly, and Noah realized that the ether had appeared at some time, and the ether was still dressed in white hair and white robes, only his face seemed darker than last time.
Everyone bowed and saluted, and Ether went over the crowd to greet his honored guest from the imperial capital in person.
"Thank you for coming to the banquet, the astrologer—Master Schiller."
"I'm sorry, Priest Ether." Schiller still respectfully bowed and kissed the back of Ether's hand like the first time.
The two entered the arena hand in hand, and when they passed by Noah, they stopped at the same time.Tai Tai chuckled, and Schiller seldom hesitated for a moment in his joking smile, and was preempted by Tai Tai.Ether lifted Noah's right hand and kissed the back of his hand. Noah's eyelids jumped, and before he could react, Schiller took his hand and kissed the back of his hand again.
Luo Ding: ...Ah, this hateful beauty!
The two high-ranking people ran away after kissing, with elegant postures, without a word of explanation.Noah was almost petrified by himself, but he felt a little funny when he saw the dumbfounded look of the Qinglin family.
After taking his seat, Schiller suddenly said, "I don't know how the great priest thinks about the conditions I proposed earlier?"
"Sounds good..." Ether smiled slightly, and changed the subject, "But I disagree."
Schiller was silent for a while, and seemed to have expected this result: "Why? No matter what, the Tower of Solomon is in the hands of you, the great priest. If more resources can be mined, the Tower of Solomon will be richer and will also be awarded in the empire." More voice."
"Solomon Tower is not short of money. We are far away from the imperial capital, and we did not participate in the struggle for power. I hope you can complete the transition of power without affecting Solomon Tower. Otherwise, all cooperation will be out of the question. Solomon Tower It belongs to the Aboriginal people here, and I don't want my interference to affect their lives forever."
The Aobayashi family, who was suddenly named, got up to salute, but Schiller didn't seem to want to talk about this topic very much, and finally he concluded: "In this case, then I think my mission in Solomon Tower is over, and I will return tonight Imperial Star."
Ether toasted and wished: "I wish you a safe journey."
"Hopefully we will have another moment to see each other again."
