Destiny Thief

Chapter 126 Deported

Following the voice of the speaker, Mr. Eddie, it was the sights of other people gathered at the meeting.Angus Rosenthal did not make a long speech on this, he just burst out a name from his teeth:
"Spike."

"That guy..." Eddie Gregory seemed hesitant when he heard the name—of course he knew the lich who lived in seclusion in the surface world. "Stuart went to Nuoge to pursue him, but he failed to achieve his goal, and Stuart was even injured because of it.Moreover, he also learned from Stuart that Spike now has strong resistance and deep resentment towards the parliament.

Although Spike has lost contact with the Undead Council, his identity determines that his camp cannot be changed.So, shall we try to find that guy?

He didn't seem to know that the council was conducting this great experiment—Speaker Eddie thought for a while, and he analyzed the character of Spike Calvin in the past: cold, paranoid, and indifferent to everything.But Eddie knew very well that this lich was obsessed with alchemy all day long. Although he was an official member of the Undead Council, it was difficult to make his presence felt in every routine meeting of the Cemetery City.

He has submitted no motions and has not opposed anyone else's motions.He always performed his functions symbolically after the discussion of specific affairs was settled. At that time, the nineteen arms raised by the long table of the parliament indicated that there were still nineteen members of the parliament, not eighteen. Plus a quiet stone statue.Such days continued until the conflict between Spike Calvin and Angus three years ago.

The two argued and quarreled in the hall of the parliament, and then left their seats to rise to personal attacks-in the meeting minutes of Dill's undead, it is not uncommon for them to fight because of disagreements.In Eddie's impression, Spike has always held objections to Angus's flesh growth experiments, believing that these fundamentally violate the basic principles of alchemy.

It's a pity that Angus has never spoken much. Every time he is questioned by Spike, he usually responds with a disdainful look at an idiot-this irritates Spike, who thinks he is knowledgeable, especially for his restrained and dull Personality, the contradictions between the two continue to accumulate, and finally, like a volcano accumulating heat, it erupts completely.

Angus gains the upper hand in a hasty fight, much to Spike Calvin's ire.According to the "Regulations on the Administration of the Daily Behavior of the Undead" and the "Regulations on the Public Security of Cemetery City Public Places", Spike is the party at fault, and Angus does not have to bear any responsibility. , Spike returned directly to his gray territory, and began to recruit the soldiers of the undead army under his command. Dill's civil war was about to break out... However, the undead council strongly intervened.

This act of launching a civil war to weaken Dill's overall strength is undoubtedly a bad act.With fifteen votes in favor, one against, and two abstentions, the Undead Council subsequently passed the expulsion bill for Spike Calvin.

After that, that guy left Cemetery City in a bachelor's way, and it is said that he went to the surface world.

"But is there a way to find that guy?"

Lich Robert asked.Although he and Spike are both the core of Dill's power and members of the Undead Council, their friendship with each other cannot be said to be very deep.Seeing that there was no answer for a while, he was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly figured out the joints involved, and was a little annoyed by his words that blurted out without thinking.

But then, he was relieved, and no one cared what he just said.All the old guys who participated in the meeting fell into silent thinking.

for a long time.

"Crystal Skull" raised his arm, rubbing a bone palm against his smooth head.

"If that guy is willing to help us, maybe it's not a violation of the Karthus agreement."

"Of course not."

Eddie nodded.These dead who have experienced a long time here are a group of clear-thinking, rational, almost cold and emotionless existences. After thinking about it for a while, they found that if they handed over the matter of obtaining flesh and blood to Spike, they would just completely avoid the "Khalsa" bound by the provisions of the Sri Lanka Agreement.

"However, if you do this, Spike is likely to attract the attention of the church, which will be a big trouble for him who is alone."

Said one of the Death Lords who was sympathetic to Spike's plight.

"Oh, this happens to be his atonement. If he completes this task, we can accept him back regardless of the past."

"That's just your wishful thinking!"

The "Broken Sword Knight" Stuart, who is good at martial arts, is not a member of the experiment. After returning from Nogo, he has been staying behind closed doors in the Bloodsong Temple.Therefore, except for the speaker Eddie, the other deceased people who attended the meeting did not understand Spike's current attitude towards the parliament, and they discussed this matter logically - and finally basically formed a common understanding: the shortage of raw materials for the No. 4 reagent , falling on Spike, can be easily resolved.

"We need to convince that guy."

After listening quietly for a while, Angus spoke lightly.He doesn't seem to care about his conflict with Spike.

But Speaker Eddie could only smile wryly—convince Spike?Easier said than done.Not only is the selection of personnel a big problem, but the high-ranking dead in front of them have never been people with high emotional intelligence and good communication skills, and how to negotiate is also a matter that needs to be carefully considered.

Such a candidate?
The old lich, who had lived for thousands of years, was in trouble for a while.

……

Northland, Nogo.

The sunshine at the end of October is soft and warm.The golden light coming directly from the mountains in the distance shines in the forest. Looking up, the vision is full of gorgeous halos. The trees have lost their lushness and lushness in the bleak autumn. The leaves that still remain on the branches are There were lonely patches of yellow that had lost its moisture.The footsteps walked on the thick mud covered with dead leaves, making a slight "sand" sound.

It has been nearly two years since the sixth ETA war ended.

The rebels are still entrenched in the former castles of the nobles, and the number of bandits in the wild has not decreased significantly.But anyway, after the war, the land regained some vitality. The farmers spontaneously returned to the village and planted some vegetables and food.The once devastated and dilapidated town has gradually become full of vitality under the hard work and nourishment of civilians fleeing the chaos and traveling businessmen. Although the scars of the war have not healed yet, at least they are healing.

A small nameless village, inhabited by a dozen or so families.The simple houses built of rammed earth, thatch and tree branches can only be seen from a distance with some vague outlines - the color of the mud and withered grass almost blends with the surrounding environment.And near these thatched houses, there is a two-meter-high wooden waterwheel that keeps turning "squeaky".

A clear stream flows downstream from the other end of the forest.
