Chapter 762 768 Seizing Power and Interrogation
The expressions of Apollo and Angdaragon changed, and they were all startled by the abnormally strong psionic fluctuation, and turned their heads to look in that direction.
Especially Apollo, his eyes narrowed slightly, from the psychic fluctuations, he smelled a familiar breath.
"That's... the core of the sun?" Apollo tried his best to control his emotions, but there was still a look of shock on his face.
At first he lost the core of the sun and was taken away by the Lord of Light, and he has since disappeared. Later, there were rumors that his core of the sun was secretly placed somewhere in the Kingdom of Asgar.
Apollo scoffed at such rumors. This was obviously a trap. As long as he just left the ground and went to find the core of the sun, he would definitely be caught by the Lord of Light.
But at this moment, the fluctuation of the core of the sun is not fake, he is too familiar with that kind of psychic fluctuation.
As for the trap, it was purely an accident that he and Bai Long came here this time. If this can count him, he can only admit that he is unlucky.
"Wait! Let's go over there and have a look." Apollo said decisively, his tone irrefutable.
Angdaragon also felt the surging and enthusiastic psionic fluctuations, and realized that it might be something, which was of great significance to Apollo, so he didn't say much, just turned the direction and flew over.
One day ago, the misty world, the oasis city-state.
The entire city was on the highest alert. Not long ago, the Great Elder was assassinated. The elder’s younger brother took over the power of the city-state on the grounds of tracking down the assassin, and sent troops to occupy all places, suppressing all opposing voices.
Standing in the large conference hall of the oasis city-state, Link's avatar was dressed in the traditional clothing of the city-state, holding the scepter of the deceased great elder in his hand, and standing on the podium in the center of the conference hall. He denounced the speech and announced that he would temporarily take over the rights of the Great Elder until the murderer was found...
There was a slight commotion throughout the conference hall as Link announced his takeover.
Because the oasis city-state has existed for countless years, even in the most critical times, the city-state chief elder is elected by the parliament, instead of being directly announced by one person as it is now, and even the procedure is exempted.
Link's eyes were like falcons, scanning the people in the hall representing all aspects of the city-state.
They have different expressions, some worried, some anxious, some numb, some welcoming…
But no matter what the mood, for or against, no one came forward.
During this period, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Link, as the younger brother of the first elder, had already mastered most of the military power of the city-state. If he stood up to oppose it at this time, he would definitely be regarded as an early bird.
However, there are people who are not afraid of death. After a while, the voice of the discussion muted, and suddenly a strong bearded man stood up, his voice was like Hong Zhong, and he shouted: "I object!"
In an instant, the discussion in the conference hall stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the bearded body.
The bearded man ignored the others and stared directly at Link, grinning and showing his white teeth, and said sullenly: "The chief elders of the city-state have been elected since ancient times, and I have never heard of anyone who can arbitrarily announce, Self-proclaimed Great Elder, this is against the rules, and I will never agree to it."
Link glanced at the man and immediately recognized his origin.
Beard also came from a prominent family in the city-state. Although he did not enter the highest three-member elder group, their family, as well as Beard himself, had a huge influence in the city-state.
"Are you against it?" Link sneered slightly. He didn't look at the bearded man, as if the other party was just an insignificant person. Instead, he glanced at the others one by one: "Besides him, who else thinks I'm not worthy of this position?"
The scene was silent.
Of course, it's not that there is no objection to Link except for the beard, but everyone wants to see the situation.
It was mainly how Link dealt with the bearded man. If Link backed down this time, they would swarm up and take advantage of the assassination of the chief elder and divide up the many political legacy left by the chief elder.
But if Link survives as a successor this time, they will have to consider their future political attitude more carefully.
In fact, the big beard was also pushed out to test Link's attitude.
"Oh? Don't you speak?" Link sneered. He has been the archbishop for so many years. The entire Holy Light Church spans dozens of void worlds and directly rules billions of people. The level of complexity and danger is far from this one. Comparable city-states with a population of more than one million.
Looking at the important tasks in the hall, what they were thinking and what they wanted to do, Link knew very well.
Immediately, his eyes turned to the beard again, with a half-smile, and said lightly: "You object, don't you?"
In an instant, the bearded heart tightened. He faintly felt that he had underestimated this young man. The current situation is completely different from what they imagined!
There was a slight cold sweat on the forehead of the bearded man, and an ominous foreboding emerged spontaneously, and he opened his mouth to say something else.
Link didn't give him a chance, and suddenly raised his hand, a beam of light flickered, like a laser penetrating the beard's eyebrows.
Beard widened his eyes, but he didn't expect Link to kill him directly, not giving him a chance.
The charred wound was smoking white smoke, but not bleeding.
But the life breath of the beard was extinguished, and a dignified legendary powerhouse was stabbed to death with a single finger.
Everyone present was stunned, followed by silence, looking at Link full of fear and fear.
"How is it? Is there any objection now?" Link asked blankly.
While speaking, two heavily armed soldiers came in from outside the hall and dragged the bearded corpse out like a dog.
"Very good, then it's settled." Archbishop Link said lightly.
Actually, it wasn't that Link acted too rough, it was just that the situation in the main world had developed too fast recently, which was beyond his expectations.
First, it was revealed that Archduke Mora was promoted to the Holy Spirit level, and he killed the king of giants, Hegrid, followed by rumors that the Great Cromway was not dead, and that Prince Simdor was about to hit the Holy Spirit level after he ascended the throne. …
This made Link feel that the time left for him was running out, and he couldn't waste time in this small city-state.
Especially after discovering that the oasis city-state hides the super weapons left by the previous civilization, he can no longer tolerate this place not under his control.
With a bang, the door of the conference hall was closed after the bearded body was dragged out.
That movement made many people tremble, and some people with messy thoughts all became low-brows and pleasing to the eye.
Immediately, under Link's order, the entire oasis city-state carried out a comprehensive mobilization of combat readiness.
Although everyone didn't know what Link wanted to do, they didn't dare to question any more, and they all obeyed orders.
Soon after, the conference hall was vacant again, leaving Link alone sitting on the seat of the Great Elder, which symbolized the highest authority.
He stood up slowly, waved his hand to open a portal in front of him, stepped in, and then suddenly flashed, the portal disappeared.
In an underground secret room, a portal suddenly appeared, and Link came out of it.
"How? Have you made up your mind? My brother?" Link looked at the old man who was tied to the wall with a smile.
The old man was naked with a thin upper body, and looked up listlessly, it was the Great Elder who had been confirmed to have died from the assassination!
The elder 's eyes were cloudy. Looking at Link in front of him, he was not very excited. He just shook his head and said, "Who are you? What is your purpose?"
Link frowned, spread out his hands and said, "You still don't want to say it? It seems that you want to make a toast instead of eating and drinking!"
The elder smiled and said, "Young man, I have lived for all these years, and I am not afraid of death. If you want to threaten me with death, you don't have to."
"Death?" Link said lightly: "For many people, that's a relief. What's really scary is that you can't die!"
The Great Elder's face changed: "You...what do you want to do?"
Link didn't talk nonsense anymore, he just raised his hand, and there was a suction force.
Suddenly, the Great Elder felt dizzy for a while, and the whole person was light and light in a trance.
When he regained his senses, he was already floating in the air. He looked down and looked down, but it was his body, tied to a wooden frame, with his head down and motionless.
The Great Elder was stunned, and immediately understood that it was his soul that had left his body.
Immediately after, he understood, what Link said just now, death is a feeling of relief.
Needle prick, knife cut, fire…
All kinds of pains and pains directly affected his soul. Even if the will of the Great Elder was extremely firm, in this case, he couldn't hold it.
More importantly, his soul was held in Link's hands, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to die.
"No... I beg you! Stop it" the elder wailed and made a painful plea. Although the translucent soul was tortured, Link continued to input psychic nourishment, so that his soul not only remained unchanged. Weak, but stronger.
Link stopped and said with a half-smile, "What? Have you made up your mind? Persistence is pointless."
The Great Elder looked gloomy, stared at Link, and didn't speak for a long time.
Link's eyes became gloomy, and he snorted: "You don't eat or drink for a toast!"
Immediately after, a new round of torture to the soul of the Great Elder began...
Until a few hours later, Link was finally satisfied and got a place to store the super weapon.
And the soul of the Great Elder, because the damage was too severe, could no longer be maintained, and immediately disappeared.
Link looked at the ashes of souls scattered on the ground and the corpse of the Great Elder hanging on the wooden frame, waved his hand expressionlessly, summoned out a portal, and Shi Shiran walked in...
