Chapter 502: The Absurd Truth of Rosna

The Absurd Truth of Rosna

(6000 words, no chapter split)

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow.

When people are unable to resist and their desire for survival is at its strongest, they will always unconsciously display their greatest value to exchange for living space, and Cheng Shi's silence was waiting for Gong Yangjiao to show his value.

But he still didn't make a sound, just signaled Gong to continue with his eyes.

Seeing that the other party hadn't denied him, Gong Yangjiao seemed to have grasped the only straw to save his life, and tried his best to perform:

"I can be driven by you, helping you find your mask fragments.

You know, I am a warrior with extraordinary perseverance and persistence. This is not boasting; in order to match with Poison, I didn't sleep or rest for a whole month, not knowing how many trials I matched.

With my high trial frequency, your mask fragments should have news soon, Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!"

Oh, you're quite persistent, brother. It seems you really hate Poison.

Could what Hu Wei said be true? You, a 【Filthy Corruption】 believer, actually have real feelings?

Cheng Shi found it funny in his heart, but his expression remained cold. He glanced down at Gong Yangjiao and sneered:

"Too far away. Before witnessing your loyalty, all promises are just lies woven by fear.

Want to lie in front of me, you...

Are you sure?"

Gong Yangjiao wasn't lying, at least not now, but Cheng Shi still had to use this intimidation tactic to stimulate him and make the other party more obedient.

Sure enough, hearing this, Gong Yangjiao trembled all over. He keenly sensed "Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi"'s obsession with playing Cheng Shi, so he quickly reviewed Cheng Shi's attitude and performance throughout the trial, displayed his most useful side from this angle, and immediately added:

"I can prove my loyalty, my lord!

I can make that chameleon also obey you. He dreams of seeing a god; I just promised him a chance to see a god, and that's why he agreed to cooperate with me to hunt Poison.

Believe me, my lord, I can pull him into your camp.

I know you don't need us, but the Cheng Shi you are playing needs us. Whether it's winning this trial or getting the 【Scourge's Gift】 that Poison... that bitch craves, Cheng Shi always needs hands, doesn't he?

Those teammates of yours have all abandoned you. They are blind; I can kill them for you.

These small matters are not worth your personal action.

Besides, doesn't the ring in your hand... also crave more fear?"

As he spoke, Gong Yangjiao raised his head, his eyes burning as he glanced at the fun ring on Cheng Shi's hand.

His covetousness was undisguised, making Cheng Shi frown slightly.

What a 【Filthy Corruption】 believer!

Your desires are really big enough!

Even for things in the messenger's hands, the greedy desire is not hidden at all.

Should I say you are bold, or should I praise your faith for being pure?

Thinking this, Cheng Shi smiled.

He thought Gong Yangjiao's suggestion was good. At least now that he had lost several teammates, he really needed a few more.

So Cheng Shi agreed to Gong Yangjiao's plan to show loyalty and let him bring back the chameleon.

He didn't know what the other party explained to that 【Silent】 believer, but in short, when he saw that chameleon again, there was clear fear in the other party's eyes.

But besides fear, the inexplicable heat in the chameleon's eyes was even stronger.

Cheng Shi looked at Gong Yangjiao in confusion, only to see Gong Yangjiao step forward and whisper:

"My lord, I didn't reveal your true identity to him, but in order to make him believe that my way of resurrection wasn't becoming a puppet of desire at someone's mercy, nor was it to come back and harm him, I hinted at some information to him.

This information is all about you, but it's half-true and half-false. As for what he imagined...

I guess he mostly believed it."

Cheng Shi looked at Gong Yangjiao in surprise, thinking: I didn't expect you, a thick-browed and big-eyed guy, to have some talent for 【Deception】!

Cheng Shi didn't know and didn't want to know about the chameleon before him. He never thought about accepting so many little brothers at once. He wanted forced labor he could control, not all the high-end combat power.

That wasn't realistic, and it was tiring.

Even if he really had one "little brother" spot left in this trial, that spot wasn't prepared for this 【Silent】 believer before him.

So for the chameleon's attitude, Cheng Shi didn't care. They were just using each other for this round. After this trial, if there was fate, it wasn't impossible to consider.

So Cheng Shi told the two his plan to snatch the 【Scourge's Gift】, and it was while the three were communicating that Gong Yangjiao provided Cheng Shi with an explosive piece of intelligence.

"【Scourge's Gift】 is gone, my lord."

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "How do you know?"

Gong Yangjiao lowered his eyes and bowed respectfully:

"The chameleon heard the thunder you unleashed near the square..."

When mentioning the thunder, the Scream Earl couldn't help but look at Cheng Shi's ring again, but soon he lowered his head again.

"We followed the sound and found the civilians you left behind.

Of course, before the interrogation, I didn't know they weren't civilians."

Hearing this, the question in Cheng Shi's heart was finally solved.

No wonder Gong Yangjiao would parasitize in his ring in that way; it turned out that he had already sensed the aura similar to his own in this ring back in that residential house!

So, his death was premeditated!

He wasn't purely hunting the priest from the beginning, but had long coveted the ring!

What a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Who said warriors are reckless? These peak warriors, no matter how crazy or insane, are all shrewd.

But this is already in the past. The current Scream Earl has become a forced laborer under Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

"Who are they?"

"The First Prince and his family." Gong Yangjiao raised an eyebrow, his face slightly reminiscent, "The fear of the Rosna royal family is indeed delicious... oh, sorry, my lord, I lost my composure.

At that time, we didn't know the Rosna royal family had disappeared, so I asked him if there was anything similar to 【Scourge's Gift】 here.

You have to believe me, I have no covetousness for that dagger, I just wanted to know its location and then ambush and kill Poison, but I didn't expect to really ask about it.

That First Prince couldn't bear the torture and said he had bought a dagger from a wandering merchant that would absorb decaying flesh and blood and spit out 【Decay】 power. He regarded it as a treasure and even prepared to offer it to his father, wanting this dagger with divine power to replace the useless Scepter of Sin-Cleansing as the symbol of the Rosna Empire.

But that night, when he asked to see him, he heard his father, the Rosna Emperor, discussing fleeing early with the Chief Minister of War.

He suddenly realized that his father's faith was not pious, and that even the faith of the entire Imperial Court had developed problems.

So he hurriedly gave up the idea of offering the dagger and sealed it in his secret room.

He not only dared not use the dagger but was also afraid it would be left outside and picked up by others to be offered.

The First Prince wasn't worried that others would see through the Rosna royal family's lack of piety; he was worried that this dagger was a true divine gift, and the sin of blasphemy would only bring destruction to Rosna!

But he dared not speak directly to his father about this. He knew his father was too stubborn, and even if he knew about this, his first reaction wouldn't be to atone for his sins, but to destroy the divine gift.

So he hid the divine gift.

But..."

Cheng Shi shook his head and sighed: "【Scourge's Gift】 is lost."

"Yes," Gong Yangjiao nodded heavily, "The dagger is lost. The First Prince never discovered this. It was a minister's child who accidentally bumped into the secret room where he sealed the dagger. When he went to scold him, he discovered that the dagger had already been replaced.

He was afraid that this was also an act of blasphemy, so he never dared to speak out, but he was also afraid that divine punishment would descend on the Rosna royal family, so he was anxious to distance himself from his father and the royal family, attempting to save himself.

My lord, this might sound a bit silly, but this First Prince wasn't very smart to begin with...

These are all his original words; I didn't do any artistic processing.

Ignorant thoughts and stupid actions gave him an excuse to stay away from the palace, and he also said that the Rosna royal family was ready to flee.

At that time, after we caught up with you... we also verified this matter. The Rosna royal family really had run away."

"..."

Cheng Shi never dreamed that the reason the First Prince was expelled from the palace was because of such an absurd reason.

This First Prince is really a talent. He committed blasphemy himself and could still shift the blame to the royal family. Are you in such a hurry to split from your father to save yourself or to save him!?

If your father, the Rosna Emperor, knew about this, he would probably set up a monument for you.

Thank you, my son, for not killing me!

Cheng Shi felt his brain buzzing. Looking back at the whole story, he suddenly discovered that 【Decay】 didn't bring a trace of grace to this country, but it rotted the brains of this country seven or eight out of ten.

But what he didn't know was that these truths were another way in the mouths of the historians of this country. If he knew that this First Prince with a pit in his brain was a tough war-fighting faction in the eyes of the people, Cheng Shi might have laughed out loud.

War-fighting faction? The whole country fighting together?

Laugh to death, is the historian unprofessional, or is history too absurd?

Amazing, the Rosna Empire could rot into slag, and everyone present has made great contributions!

Although he heard a joke, Cheng Shi couldn't laugh at all right now.

Because he discovered that the clues to 【Scourge's Gift】 seemed to be broken.

The only person who knew the truth was tortured to death by Gong Yangjiao, and the people related to the person who knew the truth had all left this place. After untangling the yarn for a long time, he found that the end of the thread was tied in a dead knot on several lines. This situation was no different from eating a fly.

Cheng Shi cursed in his heart, but he also faintly held hope for fate.

He hoped this wasn't a dead end, hoped his benefactor could still produce some changes for this road that couldn't be walked.

But at least at that moment, he had no choice.

Since the target disappeared, all he could do was express his feelings first and not leave some hatred overnight.

That was why there was the scene where Cheng Shi and the three attacked Da Yi and the three. ===== CHAPTER 503 =====
