Chapter 243: The Black Rose Attacks, Feiying Skillfully Uses the Power of Wind and Fire
Above an endless sea of sand, yellow sand filled the sky and the air was filled with a sense of dryness and heat.
The scorching sun is like a huge torch, baking the earth hot.
Somewhere in this desolate land, a group of people in black robes were surrounding a secret entrance.
The leading Black Rose had an indifferent look on her face. She stood quietly at the front of the team.
There was no emotion in those dark eyes, like a bottomless pool of stagnant water.
Under her command, the members of the Apostolic Order blocked the entrance tightly, and everyone remained on high alert.
This posture of being on high alert made the whole scene look quite tense.
Those black-robed men were like a group of predators waiting for their prey, ready to attack at any time.
Zhu Jin stood behind Black Rose, pacing back and forth impatiently.
That anxious look was like a wild beast locked in a cage.
There was obvious dissatisfaction on her face, and she was even a little depressed:
"Master Black Rose, since we are sure that the person is inside, why don't we just rush in and catch him?"
"It's such a waste of time just waiting here!"
"And think about it, we have so many people now."
"Even if there really is a trap inside, we can definitely force our way through it! Why waste time here?"
Before she finished her words, Danxia, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but sneer.
There was obvious disdain in that mocking tone, and even a hint of pity:
"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Don't you understand this most basic truth?"
Her eyes swept over Zhu Jin and she continued speaking in that sarcastic tone.
The tone was like looking at a child who didn't know the immensity of the world:
"Although the Golden Kingdom has fallen, the remaining Golden Survivors are not as powerful as they were when the Golden Kingdom was at its peak."
"But they are the remnants of the Golden Kingdom after all! Who knows what traps are in their lair?"
"What's more, our target is the princess of the Golden Kingdom."
"Is it wrong for Lady Black Rose to be cautious?"
Zhu Jin, however, was dismissive and even laughed exaggeratedly.
That kind of laughter was full of irony, as if hearing some huge joke:
"Cautious? Is it necessary to be so cautious?"
"Are you taking these Golden Survivors too seriously? It seems that you are frightened by their reputation!"
She pointed in the direction of the golden ruins in the distance with a look of contempt on her face:
"When we entered the desert, didn't this group of so-called golden survivors do nothing?"
"We have almost emptied all the treasures in the Golden Ruins, but they still dare not even fart!"
"Local tyrant? I think it's more like a local worm!"
"What else can these losers do except hide in a place like this and linger?"
"You..." Danxia was about to refute, but was interrupted by Zhu Jin. There was a hint of provocation in her voice:
"What? You want to fight me when you can't convince me?"
"Come on! It's a good opportunity to let Lady Black Rose see who is stronger between the two of us!"
The argument between the two became increasingly intense, and was even threatening to turn into a physical fight.
But Black Rose never paid any attention, as if she was already accustomed to this daily farce.
She just stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on the entrance.
That focused look was like a beast waiting for its prey, full of a dangerous aura.
In her opinion, such boring quarrels are not worth paying attention to at all.
Scorching sun.
Only the sound of the two girls' quarrel echoed across the desert.
After an unknown amount of time, Black Rose suddenly raised her hand and stopped the quarrel between her two subordinates.
The action was crisp and clear, leaving no room for doubt:
"Shut up! The person has already come out."
As she finished her words, a group of people slowly walked out of the entrance.
The dust flying in the sunlight added a sense of mystery to the scene.
The leader was a girl named Feiying dressed in black.
There was an indescribable expression on her face, a mixture of anger and worry.
Next to her, there is a woman with noble temperament. Her elegant manners and extraordinary temperament all reveal her identity.
Behind them followed a group of fully armed golden guards.
The armors of the guards gleamed with metallic luster in the sun, looking very majestic.
Holding spears, they lined up in neat rows on both sides, forming an indestructible human wall.
With the appearance of Feiying and her group, Zhu Jin and Danxia, who were originally arguing, instantly shut up.
The tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant, replaced by an eerie silence.
They tacitly stepped aside to give space to their leader.
When Black Rose saw Feiying and Shawan, a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
She walked forward with light steps, her elegant posture as if she was attending a noble banquet.
Every movement reveals an indescribable calmness:
"Ms. Sha Wan and Miss Fei Ying, we meet again."
"Looking at your condition, you should be doing well recently, right?"
Her voice has a special rhythm, as if she is reciting a beautiful poem.
However, this deliberately created elegant atmosphere makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
however.
In response to Black Rose's politeness, Feiying glared at her fiercely.
Her chest heaved violently and her fists clenched.
Those eyes were filled with anger, like an enraged young beast:
"Stop pretending here! Don't think you can hide your true colors by speaking in such a pretentious tone! Where are Violet and the others?!"
"Where did you keep my friends?"
"Now, immediately, release them!"
Her voice rose with every word.
Facing Feiying's questioning, Black Rose seemed extremely calm.
She still had that elegant smile on her face, as if she was listening to a child making a fuss.
That attitude is even more infuriating:
"Don't worry, Miss Feiying."
"You yelling like this is totally unbecoming of your status."
"As for your friends, I have taken good care of them and will never harm a hair on their head."
Her tone became gentler, even with a hint of coaxing:
"After we leave the desert, I will return them to you intact."
"After all, although we are bad guys, we will never do things so extreme. There is no need to kill you all."
"But before that, I hope we can sit down and have a good talk."
"After all, some things need to be made clear. Don't you think so?"
Feiying frowned. She couldn't quite understand Black Rose's thoughts.
This woman's words are always so vague and hard to understand.
He is obviously a robber, but he pretends to be a matter of course.
This hypocritical attitude is disgusting.
At this moment, Sha Wan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly sneered.
There was an expression of contempt that was hard to conceal on her face, and her voice was filled with deep anger.
That kind of anger even made her voice tremble:
"Talk? What's there to talk about with a bunch of bandits like you?"
"Catch me before, let my blood flow, and open the remains of my home."
"They took away everything my mom and grandma left behind!"
"Now, they have surrounded us again. Do you still want to have a good talk with me?"
Her voice grew louder and louder, almost turning into a roar.
There was even a hint of despair in that anger, as if accusing fate of being unfair:
"You are a bunch of robbers! Bandits!"
"They are clearly a bunch of shameless thieves, yet they are trying to act noble! It's absolutely ridiculous!"
"Don't think you can cover up your crimes by speaking in such an elegant tone!"
"In my eyes, you are no different from those robbers who took advantage of others' misfortunes! You are even more despicable than robbers!"
"You are doing the same thing as bandits in the name of saving the world!"
"This kind of hypocritical behavior is the most disgusting!"
Facing Sha Wan's angry rebuke, Black Rose still maintained her calm attitude.
She even shook her head slightly, as if she was looking at an ignorant child.
That kind of condescending attitude makes people even more angry:
"I don't deny the fact that we need the golden treasure."
"After all, the gold treasure is of great importance to our subsequent research."
"We need some technology left over from the Golden Kingdom, as well as a small amount of property, to carry out our research on fairies."
There was no trace of guilt in her tone, but rather a sense of rightness.
That attitude is like stating a very common fact:
"This is for a greater goal, so even if I have to use some less glorious means, I will do it."
“Something has to be done by someone.”
"As an apostle of the Apostolic Order, I am willing to bear this sin as long as it can achieve my goal."
"You may not understand it now."
"But once you understand the truth, you will understand our approach."
"After all, some sacrifices are inevitable for a higher purpose."
Every word she said sounded so righteous, as if what she did was right and natural.
This attitude not only does not contain any sense of guilt, but instead carries with it an inexplicable sense of pride.
After hearing Black Rose's high-sounding words, the anger on Sha Wan's face increased instead of decreasing.
She sneered, a smile full of sarcasm.
At this moment, she could no longer maintain her aristocratic and elegant attitude, and instead took on an indescribable sarcasm:
"Haha, that sounds really nice."
"Fairy research? A noble goal? Saving the world? How long did it take you to come up with such high-sounding reasons?"
"When you made up this kind of rhetoric, did you consider the people you have hurt?"
Her voice became colder and colder, and there was even a hint of contempt in her tone.
Every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely at the other person's hypocritical mask:
"Don't think I don't know anything."
"During this period of time, I have learned a lot about the story of your Apostolic Order."
"To put it bluntly, you are nothing but a bunch of bandits who are seeking personal gain under the guise of saving the world!"
"Those so-called researches are just trying to gain power for themselves!"
