Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)
Chapter 28 Betrayal and... Death
The long sword was pulled out little by little, one centimeter, two centimeters... ten centimeters.
Suddenly, the drawn long sword suddenly retracted.
After finishing packing up the things on the bookshelf, Richard turned around and looked at Edward.
Edward looked puzzled.
Li Cha didn't say anything, just looked at it meaningfully.
Edward couldn't hold back, and said slowly, "Wang... Your Royal Highness, you... are you?"
"You know what, Edward?" Li Cha asked.
"what?"
"In my eyes, you are a typical medieval nobleman."
"Ah?" Edward was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and said, "No, I... I'm just His Royal Highness's loyal captain of the guard."
"Whatever you say, but no matter what status you are, you will always put the interests of your family first."
"I..." Edward hesitated.
Li Cha waved his hand and said, "There's nothing wrong with this. Only with the existence of a noble like you, who constantly strive, work hard, and even sacrifice for a family, can a family succeed in its rise. Well... this is a kind of Great feelings, but... the problem is, you're not smart enough."
"This..." Edward's lips opened and closed, his expression slightly flustered.
"More than a month ago, you asked for a leave of absence and wanted to return to the family, and I did. But I know that you did not leave the palace, but lost William's palace."
"I..." Edward's eyelids jumped, really panicking.
"At William's dinner party, you agreed to William's request - find an opportunity to kill me, and William also promised you to ensure that your family's interests will not be lost." Li Cha asked, "No matter how you look at it, this is a A win-win deal, but the question is, do you think William will deliver on his promise, especially after you actually kill me?"
"this……"
"What do you think, when the crown prince fights and the big and small nobles stand in line, why are they so active? It's because they all know that the winners can eat the flesh and blood of the losers and grow themselves. Your family is always on my side, when you kill After he kills me, he will be charged with treason again. Do you think William chooses to do his best to help your family from being attacked, or to push your family into the group of greedy nobles who are standing behind him with a slight push. On the table?
Taking a step back, William really keeps his promise and swears to protect your family to the death. But do you think a new king can really do whatever he wants and can do whatever he wants? He really has only a few hundred soldiers in his hands, and the private soldiers of the big and small nobles in the entire Blue Lion City are dozens of times that number. When those greedy nobles are ready to enjoy the fruits of victory, can he stop it? "
Edward was completely flustered, and his hands were shaking: "His Royal Highness...I...wrong, I...things shouldn't listen to William's words, shouldn't want to attack you, I..."
"You are indeed wrong." Richard shook his head, "but not because of killing me, but because your family was on the wrong side from the beginning, so no matter how hard you try, it will not change. Strategically Your mistakes cannot be made up for with tactical efforts. From the time your family chose to support me as the crown prince and sent you to me as the captain of the guard, the current fate has been decided.
Of course, there are some responsibilities on my part. But I can only say sorry, after all, vision and wisdom are really hard to come by.
Well, I'm leaving, of course not to the territory, I didn't think about the territory from the beginning. I will leave the Blue Lion City, leave the Blue Lion Kingdom, and then go to see what is going on in this world, study and understand the principles. As for you and your family, work hard...struggle, there may be a chance of survival. "
After Li Cha finished speaking, he lifted the heavy box and walked out directly, as if it was not difficult at all.
Edward stood absentmindedly in the bedroom,
The body became shorter and shorter, and finally sat directly on the ground, covering his face with his hands, shaking his whole body.
Suddenly, Edward raised his head again, with a desperate and crazy expression in his eyes, and said to himself: "What if what William said is true, in case..."
With a "swipe" sound, the long sword was drawn, and Edward stood up and was about to go out.
But suddenly, it came back.
With a "squeak", the bedroom door opened, and Richard, who had left, returned.
With a "boom", he put the heavy wooden box on the ground, and Li Cha looked at Edward and said slowly: "Well, I thought I would leave calmly. But when I went downstairs, I still found that for a piece of The thing still can't be relieved, that is... betrayal."
Edward's eyes shrank suddenly, and the next moment he seemed to be stimulated, and roared: "I don't want to! But my entire family has put fate on you, what can I do?
How many times have I persuaded you, but when have you heard me? ! You always study strange things, study wizards, do you gain anything other than the torture you suffered three years ago? !
What if I don't kill you, can you really leave? ! what! "
Richard smiled, a dangerous smile.
"I'm really sorry, my dear Captain of the Guard - Lord Edward! Sometimes the reality is so cruel, one wrong step and nothing can be undone. I hope you and your family have the next chance, Be sure not to choose me again. Because...I myself am not on my side."
As he spoke, Li Cha quickly went up, his lips quickly opened and closed, as if he was thinking something. Edward looked at the unarmed Richard, breathing heavily, the next moment he gritted his teeth, he was about to slash his sword, "It's all your fault, you forced me!"
But then, Edward saw Richard's hand waving at him, and a strong airflow appeared, like a gust of wind suddenly generated in the room, and slammed into him. Even though he was wearing iron armor, under the effect of strong force, he couldn't help but stagger backwards and almost fell.
Spell·Wind's Knockback!
This!
Edward was surprised, but Richard was approaching again, his lips still opening and closing quickly.
Edward grasped the long sword with all his strength, and was about to stab Richard in the lower abdomen, but then his eyes widened, and he felt the long sword moving through the air, as if it had entered a mass of extremely viscous liquid. In front of him, no matter how hard he stabbed it, it was extremely difficult to even pull out his long sword—the weapon was stuck by some mysterious force.
Spell · Wind Barrier!
This!
Edward's worldview collapsed a little, but Richard had already come to his side, pressed his shoulders slightly with both hands, and then clamped his head.
"You know, Edward, the reason why I don't want to fight the crown prince is because I have really important things to do. And this thing, it's also interesting, as interesting as you can see now. That's why I I will say sorry to you, not regret - I chose my own way and will never regret it. Hopefully, you can too."
"I……"
"Goodbye, Captain of the Guard - Lord Edward."
"Crack!" Edward felt an irresistible force in his neck, his entire head suddenly rotated 180° and twisted behind his back.
Spell · The brute force of the wind!
"Does my back look like this?" Edward thought, then his vision quickly darkened, and he fell to the ground with a "pop", without breath.
Richard looked at Edward's body, his eyes flickered, then he let out a sigh of relief, turned and walked out of the bedroom.
