Chapter 654 Jacob Ingold
Not far from them, Paimon witnessed it all. Her face turned red with anger. How could someone dare to bully Milushin like this!
In anger, she took out the gift Shao Yun gave her, "Algernon's Revolver"!
"It's so abominable! How could these crazy people treat such a lovely Meilushin like this? This is a heinous crime that is unforgivable!"
At the same time, when Clorinde saw that the Gilded Brigade dared to attack Melusin, she said nothing and flashed behind the three men as fast as lightning.
Then, she exuded a powerful and majestic aura that made people shudder.
"Attacking Meilushin? Do you think the Cangjing District's security forces are weak?"
Seeing Clorinde appear in such a heroic manner, Mamehe shouted for help at the top of her voice as if she had seen a savior.
"Help! These bad guys are bullying me!"
……
When Ilos heard Clorinde's voice behind her, her heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself that something was wrong.
She never expected that she would run into people from the Fontaine Guard in such a remote place.
You know, they are now in the wilderness, far away from the city and crowds!
Although Clorinde was not actually a formal member of the guard team, the majestic aura she exuded still made Ilos feel a little uneasy.
When Ilos heard Mamehe shouting for help, she was completely terrified.
She stared with wide eyes in disbelief at Mamehe who was desperately begging for help, and stammered.
"Hey... Hey, hey, hey! Little guy, didn't we agree before that we want to buy your painting, and we've already given you the money! Why are you suddenly shouting for help?"
However, Mamehe ignored Ilos' explanation, stood up from the ground, and took back the drawing board that was forcibly taken away by Kaikubad.
"When did I sell the painting to you bad guys? It was you who were unreasonable and took my drawing board away!"
Clorinde heard Mamehe's words clearly, and her face became more gloomy and solemn.
At this moment, she was completely certain that the three guys from the Gilded Brigade were bullying others by taking advantage of their power and murdering the innocent Meilushin.
"Hmph, all right! You lawless guys, are you going to follow me to the security team, or..."
Before she finished her words, Clorinde shook her wrist, and with a "swish", her one-handed sword "Absolution" was unsheathed.
Ilos looked at Clorinde in horror, with a ferocious look as if she was about to attack her. She panicked and shouted loudly in panic.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be impulsive! We are all good people, not robbers!"
However, Clorinde simply refused to listen. She raised the one-handed sword in her hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Ilos and the others.
"If you have anything to say, wait until we get to the security team!"
……
Clorinde quickly subdued the three Gilded Brigades and knocked them to the ground.
Kaikubad, who was beaten badly and bruised by Clorinde's "six sticks in one second", struggled to get up from the ground and shouted desperately in all directions.
"Boss! Help us! Come and help us explain to this lady!"
Kaika, who was also beaten badly, was even more miserable. Not only were his front teeth missing, but even his speech was unclear because of air leaking from his mouth.
"Oh my god! I really regret it. I shouldn't have taken this unfortunate job in the first place! Oh my teeth!"
Ilos was not seriously injured, but was hit in the stomach by Clorinde's sword handle and fell to her knees.
At this moment, Ilos discovered that the "boss" who had been standing on the hillside not far away and watching her had disappeared without a trace at some point.
She was so angry and anxious that she couldn't help but burst into cursing.
"Damn it, we got stood up!"
Then she begged Clorinde for mercy again.
"Oh, Miss Officer, we are innocent! We are really just here to buy paintings!"
Then, Kaika and Kaikubad ignored the pain in their bodies and kowtowed to Clorinde and begged for mercy, hoping to escape.
"We are not bad people! Sister Heroine! I really didn't do anything bad!"
"Yes, we really are just here to buy paintings!"
Clorinde looked at the three people begging for mercy with a cold face, and was not moved at all.
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun helped Clorinde tie up the three members of the Gilded Brigade with ropes, allowing them to move only in small steps to facilitate their escort to the security headquarters.
"If you have anything to say, save it for later explanation to the guards!" Clorinde said coldly to the three ignorant members of the Gilded Brigade with a frosty face.
Then, Clorinde said apologetically to Shao Yun and his group behind her: "Sorry, everyone, I need to take these people to the security team..."
At this time, the "Ilos", who was called the eldest sister, had a face full of grievance, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried out loudly about her injustice.
"It's unfair! Lord Akhmar, we are just here to buy paintings on someone's behalf!"
However, Clorinde turned a deaf ear to the cries and just escorted the three members of the Gilded Brigade away.
Looking at Clorinde's receding figure, Paimon started to complain.
"I really don't understand what these Gilded Brigade are thinking. They actually dared to threaten Melusin. They are so bold! Am I right? Then Villette..."
Halfway through his words, Paimon noticed that Violet had disappeared.
She blinked her eyes, looked around, and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey? Where's Violet? She was here just now, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
After Paimeng's reminder, Ying, Funina and Shao Yun all looked around at the same time, only to find that Villette had evaporated out of thin air at some point?
Ying concentrated and looked around.
Suddenly, her eyes were fixed on the exquisite blue crown hat on Furninna's head. She didn't know when a white piece of paper was clipped on the hat.
"Funina, there seems to be a note on your hat!" Ying pointed at the note that suddenly appeared on Funina's hat.
After Jing Ying pointed it out, Funina quickly reached out and took the note off the hat.
"Ah? A note?" Funina looked at the note in her hand with a confused look on her face, obviously having no idea how it appeared.
She unfolded the note and read out what was written on it word for word.
"'I have something urgent to do, so I need to leave for a while. Please help me take care of Mamehe.' - That Villette."
After reading the words on the note, Funina clutched the note tightly and complained through gritted teeth: "What? Violet, what on earth are you doing!"
"He ran away without saying a word and left us such a weird note! It really pissed me off!"
……
On the other side, on the eastern side of Erinath, the sun shone on the golden beach, and the sparkling waves gently lapped against the shore.
However, at this moment this beautiful beach is filled with an atmosphere of tension and danger.
A person who had been baptized in deep sins fell on the beach in a miserable state, holding his chest tightly, his breath was extremely weak.
"Ahem... I didn't expect to miscalculate to this extent..." It gasped with difficulty, its voice hoarse and weak.
That Villette floated in front of it, emitting a powerful aura.
Then, Villette slowly stretched out his right hand, and strands of crystal clear water elemental energy gradually emerged in his palm, and these energy flows quickly wrapped around the body of the Deep Sin Baptist.
In an instant, the person who was baptized in deep sin was lifted up from the ground by Villette.
It hung in the air, struggling constantly, but unable to break free from the powerful binding force.
With a gloomy expression, Villette looked at the evil creature from the abyss in front of him and asked, "Minions of the abyss, what are you doing sneaking around in Haimo Village?"
Facing the question from Villette, the Deep Sin Baptist did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Villette with a strange look, and then commented softly: "Is this the power of the new generation of Water Dragon King? As expected...ah..."
Before it could finish its words, it suddenly felt a huge force tightly gripping its neck area.
I saw that Villette increased the output of energy, and the water elemental force that was originally entangled with the Deep Sin Baptist became more violent and turbulent.
The person who was baptized in deep sin suddenly felt unspeakable pain and an indistinct whimper came from his throat.
But Villette showed no mercy and asked again in a harsh voice: "Tell me! What's your name?"
The person baptized in deep sin said weakly, "My name? Alas, no one has asked my name for a long, long time..."
Villette increased the strength of his hand again and threatened coldly: "Answer me, this is the second time, I will never say it a third time!"
Then the strong pressure caused the air to solidify.
The man who was baptized in deep sin felt the fierce murderous intent emanating from Villette and knew that the other party was not joking.
He didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly said his name and surname like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
"Jacob Ingold, or you can call me Jacob Baker, you may have heard of this name..."
When Villette heard the words "Jacob Ingold," her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Jacob Ingold? You are a member of the Narcissus Cross Society, a figure from four or five hundred years ago. I never thought that you could survive until now. Do you rely on the power of the abyss?"
Jacob sighed helplessly when he saw how well Villette knew him.
"Haha, yes, Mr. Water Dragon King. Since you know my origins, could you please let go of your hand first? It's really uncomfortable to be imprisoned like this."
However, Villette did not relax at all because of his pleading. Instead, he tightened the force that trapped him a little bit, and the vigilance in his eyes became more intense.
"I don't care how you managed to survive for so long. Tell me, why did you sneak around Haimo Village where Meilushin lives? What's your ulterior motive?"
Jacob did not directly respond to the question about his own plans, but instead spoke with a serious expression.
"I'm trying my best to save Fontaine! You and I should all know that once the second flood season comes, the entire Fontaine will face a catastrophe! There is no doubt about that!"
He paused, then shouted passionately: "The people of Fontaine are all sinners. If we want to completely cleanse their sins, the only way is to rely on the power of the abyss! Only in this way can we be reborn!"
Listening to the other party's twisted logic, Villette frowned.
"What nonsense! How dare you say such a ridiculous thing!"
However, in the face of Villette's angry accusations, Jacob just smiled coldly and said, "Obviously, you know very little..."
Before Jacob could finish his words, Villette suddenly swung his arm and threw Jacob into the air.
At the same time, a surging stream of water containing the majestic power of the water element pierced Jacob's body like a sharp arrow.
After a few seconds, Jacob fell heavily back to the ground.
At this moment, he was not far from returning to the earth vein, but he still forced himself to raise his head and muttered weakly.
"Humph... You can't kill me at all... I have already merged with the power of the abyss... As long as the crisis of Fontaine has not been resolved... I will persist... and complete our great cause..."
"However, Mr. Water Dragon King... I sincerely hope that you really know how to save our beautiful Fontaine." As soon as he finished speaking, Jacob's body disappeared.
Villette watched quietly as Jacob's body completely dissipated into the air.
Then he raised his head, looked at the jewel-blue sky, and took a deep breath.
"Fontaine's prophecy... Even the 'Abyss' is trying to save Fontaine. Fukaros, what exactly is your plan?"
