Chapter 632: Friends
Chapter 632: Friends
Saul and Kismet, the two second-rankers, could only say that they were “envious”, but for Pei Er, who was also a third-ranker, she was deeply jealous.
“He can’t advance in rank now, what are you still protecting him for?”
“Being able to advance can’t be defined by you or me, it has to be given up by Alik himself.” Ophelia said with a smile.
Seeing that Pelle was still unwilling and wanted to kill Clark here, Saul pulled her hand.
“This matter does require the Stargate Council to determine that Clark no longer has the possibility of advancing in rank before it can be done.”
“If Clark dies just like that, the Stargate Council might determine that it was Lord Ophelia’s hand that prevented them from promoting a new Fourth Order wizard.”
Pelle glared at Sol, “Are you stupid? Is it possible to leave a survivor and let them know that it was you who did this to Clark?”
Understanding that Pelle was concerned about herself, Saul smiled, “There are only four of us who know about this now. You and I won’t say anything, and if Her Excellency Ophelia says anything, the Stargate Council will know that she once saw her death and I’m afraid that they will suspect her as well, and that’s no different than killing Clark now.”
Thor turned his head to look at Kismet, “Now there’s just this one outsider left ……”
The corner of Kismet’s mouth twitched, bowed slightly and said with meaning, “I am my master’s most most loyal servant, and will never reveal my master’s secrets.”
Pei’er gritted her teeth, sort of recognizing the decision of several people.
Saul stepped forward to check on Clark, and when he took down his hands, he was shocked to find that his eyes were gone.
It wasn’t that the eyes had disappeared from their sockets, but the part of his face that had belonged to them was now empty.
It was as if Clark had never had such an organ as two eyes.
“He really has lost his vision this time. It can’t be restored even with the use of healing sorcery.”
Saul remembered the blindfolded giants he had seen in his dreams.
Now it seemed that the reference was to Clark.
The big bird that flew up to the stars ……
Saul turned back, looking at Pelle, just in time to find Ophelia staring thoughtfully at Pelle as well.
“On the day I had my precognitive dream, several Third Order in the Land of the Lordless had the same dream at the same time. It’s just that they didn’t seem to have me in their dreams.”
The fake wind demon that had also had a precognitive dream was still in Sol’s diary, and because of its strength, it hadn’t disappeared for a while.
“By the way, where’s the Firefly Master Herbert?” Sol suddenly remembered that there should have been another Third Order here.
Pelle hated dream makers, and had no good feelings towards the Fluorescent Lord as well.
“He’s up there, rescuing that red-bearded guy from the Court of Judgment.”
Saul remembered the chaotic aura and radiation that had just come from overhead, and only then did he notice that somehow the depressing influences had disappeared.
“I think you all went up there when you came in just now, what happened there, did you find the eye of the wind?”
Ophelia seemed to be feeling bored and had retracted back into Pelle’s palm.
Pelle stepped forward and kicked Clark, then pulled Thor outside.
“Our intel was wrong.” Pelle whispered to Saul, “As much as it looks like it, the mutation inside the manor is not the eye of the storm.”
Saul was surprised. “Don’t you have an eye of the wind that you can test?”
“The testing instruments can detect fluctuations similar to the eye of the storm, but manual confirmation is still needed. Clark and Herbert originally planned to wait outside for your initial confirmation before entering the manor to seal the eye of the wind, but just now the inside of the manor suddenly appeared ……”
Pelle lowered her voice even further.
“The aura of the Abyss appeared, and we were afraid that you had touched the eye of the wind by mistake, causing it to enter the critical point prematurely, so we rushed in.”
“But who would have guessed that there was no breakthrough or eye of the wind that appeared there at all, the change there seems to be man-made pollution, and I suspect that it was someone who deliberately created the abyssal pollution to lure us into the old manor.”
“Fake?” Saul’s brows furrowed deeply, “Who would know that you were looking for the eye of the wind and still have access to contaminants with the scent of the Abyss?” “Has that contaminant been dealt with by you guys?” Sol wanted to go over and take a look.
This person had almost simultaneously counted the three major third-order wizards in the Lordless Lands, and had also caused both the Court of Judgment and the Stargate Council to perish.
That was quite a big hand to play.
If it was discovered in the future, wouldn’t it be tantamount to being an enemy of the entire world?
By now they had already walked out of the basement, and Saul looked back inside.
Kismet did not immediately follow them out, but ……
He actually picked up Lucy’s head that had rolled on the floor and was trying to give a new press back?
A strange scene happened, as Kismet held Lucy’s head close to her torso, the breaks of the upper and lower necks unexpectedly grew dense silver metal wires.
Those metal wires entangled with each other, fused, and then generated a strong suction force “bang” to connect Lucy’s upper and lower neck.
Afterwards, Lucy opened her eyes with a cry.
“I fainted?” Lucy opened her eyes in a daze, and what she saw was Kismet’s big face with a smile on it.
“Ah!” Lucy mischievously broke free from Kismet’s embrace and looked at Kismet with horror in her eyes, “You, you?”
Kismet smiled like a gentleman, “There is no need to be afraid Miss Lucy, just now the three third-ranked wizards from the Lordless Land came in and have dealt with the radiation fluctuation that makes people go crazy, currently I have regained my senses and won’t hurt you anymore.”
Unfortunately Lucy originally had a bad opinion of Kismet, and now she didn’t believe his words at all.
“Hmph!” She snorted coldly, but this time she didn’t speak out sarcastically, because after experiencing the chase and escape just now, she had already recognized the gap between herself and Kismet.
She looked around, hoping to find something to rely on, and with that she saw the collapsed on the ground, with only smooth skin left where her eyes used to be.
“Ah!” Even as Lucy tried to calm herself down, she screamed out in horror at the sight of the just-unbeatable Clark in this state.
“Clark, Clark what happened to him? How come his eyes are gone?”
Kismet immediately wore an expression of regret, “I’m sorry, he was already like this when I came to my senses and looked for him. It seems that he was severely injured in the battle with the wind demon.”
Clark had, after all, taken the initiative to attack the Wind Demon, and to be injured by the other party in a counterattack, even the Stargate Council behind him couldn’t say anything.
And the wind demon had the identity of Ophelia’s sister, so nothing would happen under normal circumstances.
Kismet’s brow was affectionate, softly comforting Lucy.
“Miss Lucy, don’t worry, although the Wind Demon seriously injured Lord Clark, but the other party is after all your Stargate Council, she won’t drive us to extinction, she’ll just leave us here to fend for ourselves. Lord Clark’s condition is still unstable, we’d better go out first.”
It was the first time Lucy had had this much contact with Kismet.
She had always held a grudge against Kismet before, after learning that her best friends had died in Kismet’s plot.
However the current Kismet didn’t seem as bad as she thought he was.
“Well, Ms. Lucy, can I ask why you hated me so much before?”
Kismet helped Lucy up, still taking care to keep his distance, like a true gentleman.
Lucy bit her lip, and after a moment whispered, “You once got two of my friends killed.”
“Yeah? Then I’m really sorry.”
At an angle Lucy couldn’t see, Kismet’s smile slowly swung open.
See what this is? Plus! More!
