Chapter 405 A big departure
Neither the two elders nor Alec were at all surprised at the sudden appearance of Huabedo and Charles in the Lawrence family's secret place.
The third elder was mentally prepared because of Malki's words, while Alec was naturally emotionally stable and more introverted.
"Long time no see." The first thing Alec noticed when he looked at Hua Beiduo was the divine weapon hanging around his waist, and he sighed inwardly.
"Long time no see!" Hua Beiduo nodded calmly, not at all like the funny look she had in front of Charles before.
"Here I come..." Malky also stood up from his chair and stretched his muscles a little.
The third elder did not say anything, but just put on a few rings silently.
These rings sparkled with a strange light, were engraved with runes, and contained several special spells.
These rings can also serve as effective spellcasting media, capable of acting as a kind of elemental resonator.
In short, it is a magical tool.
"Do you have anything to say?" Looking at the two elders of the Lawrence family, Hua Beiduo's expression did not change at all.
"Or do you intend to surrender directly?"
"Or try to resist?"
"Resist?" Marky seemed to be asking Huabedo, and also seemed to be asking himself, and then he shook his head gently.
"Nothing that makes the slightest sense."
"If you really do that, no matter how merciful your majesty is, you will not forgive the sins of the Lawrence family."
"What do you mean?" Hua Beiduo frowned slightly and thought of many things in an instant.
"What do you think the Lawrence family's base is?" Marki did not answer Hua Beiduo's question, but asked back.
However, before Hua Beiduo could respond, he continued speaking as if talking to himself.
"It's just a special space node."
"Decades ago I happened to meet a woman codenamed 'Gold'."
"That woman is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of information."
"She glanced at Mondstadt from a distance, said a few words to me, and then left."
"Do you know what those words are?"
"..." Hua Beiduo's eyes were somewhat complicated.
"Haha..." Malky chuckled and slowly told him what he learned from his meeting with "Gold".
"[Interesting formation, interesting nodes]"
“[They fit together like millions of precision gears, and each house is a perfect node]”
“[The existence of some of these houses is the key to the node]”
"[It seems that there is something extraordinary under the city of Mondstadt]"
"[It is said that the God of Wind killed all the gods to establish his throne. The death of each god will leave behind filth that cannot be completely removed.]"
"[Perhaps the gods of the past are suppressed beneath this Mondstadt]"
"But everything has an end, even time."
"She... is right." Hua Beiduo's eyes darkened and she answered.
"I know she's right." Malky put his hands behind his back and looked at the tallest tower in Mondstadt.
That is the shrine of Diocletian, the god of wind, a shrine that is inaccessible to mortals.
"But what does this have to do with what you did?" Hua Beiduo pointed out the core of the topic.
They came this time to confirm whether the Lawrence family had done those bad things.
"After learning this information from Gold, I was driven by curiosity and went to learn more about the specific information about the ancient war between demons and gods."
Malki's eyes looked slightly deeper.
"After the demon dies, its power will dissipate and return to the earth veins."
"But that nearly immortal hatred will entangle the earth veins, gradually affecting them and turning into pollution, making the land no longer suitable for mortals to survive."
"If affected by those pollutants, mortals will gradually become extreme and violent, and do many things that are not in their original intentions."
"You want to say that your Lawrence family is actually innocent, and it is only because of the influence of those leaked pollution that you have done these dirty things?"
Hua Bedo's expression darkened slightly, and his eyes turned towards Marki with a somewhat unfriendly look.
"...Why do you think so?" Upon hearing this, Marky's body stiffened slightly. He turned around and looked at Huabedo with a puzzled look.
"Isn't it?" Hua Beiduo asked back: "You said so much just to exonerate the Lawrence family?"
"Why should I absolve the Lawrence family of guilt?" Malky looked puzzled. "The mistake has already been made. No matter how much you argue, you can't change the fact that you made a mistake."
"A mistake is a mistake. No matter how much you argue or debate, the mistake will never go away."
"Mistakes that have been made need to be punished, and mistakes that have not been made need to be guarded against."
"I never said I was going to exonerate the Lawrence family."
"...Then why are you talking so much?" Hua Beiduo's breathing paused slightly, and then he continued to ask.
To be honest, he really couldn't understand what the elder of the Lawrence family was trying to do.
The other party's stretching movements just now and the Third Elder's wearing of the magic ring made Hua Beiduo think that the other party wanted to fight and prove everything with his strength.
Even Charles, who was silent beside him, grasped the sacrificial bow, and the power of the wind element lingered around him.
Get ready for some serious action!
However, Malki told him that they didn't have to fight at all?
Outrageous!
Nine out of ten points outrageous!
Even Charles standing by was a little confused. He had no idea what was going to happen next.
After all, as a member of the Katzlein family and the center of the public opinion storm during this Wind God Celebration, he initially thought that the Lawrence family were real dogs and that he had to rush into the other family and kill them indiscriminately to avenge himself.
However, the appearance of Huabedo and the words the other party said made him feel conflicted.
Then the current head of the Lawrence family said that he did not want to exonerate the Lawrence family...
This inexplicable development process made him feel extremely confused.
So much so that I still can't sort out my thoughts.
"Um... Hua Beiduo, what do you think we should do?"
Slowly approaching Hanabedo, Charles used the power of wind to perform the secret sound transmission technique.
"Why is the development of this incident different from what we guessed when we came here before?"
"According to our previous idea, as long as we use our authority to force these Lawrence family members into the secret realm for a fight, the problem will be completely solved."
"But now...what to do?"
Hua Beiduo was silent for a moment after hearing this.
you ask me?
I still want to ask you!
