Chapter 408 This is probably [Zha Cheng]
This was definitely not just a plot set up by the Andair nobles; the nobles of the Kingdom of Bezek were also involved.
Mo Cheng didn't know what it was for, but it had a lot to do with Napa Port.
There was nothing surprising about the collusion between the nobles of the two countries. After all, in Mo Cheng's history class, there were many records of such things in the textbooks alone.
However, Mo Cheng was not interested in what kind of deal the nobles of the two countries had made. He just wanted to run away with his people before the blame was completely put on his head .
Don't even think about fighting a country to the death without any mission, when the final beneficiaries may be the nobles who put the blame on him.
The thought of those nobles who took the blame for the crime gaining benefits was more painful than Mo Cheng himself losing money.
Even if it was a systematic mission, Mo Cheng had to carefully consider the price he would have to pay to destroy a country.
The Kingdom of Bezek is definitely not a weak country. On the contrary, it is a country that has had considerable historical conflicts with Aundair and has had minor frictions from time to time.
The fact that it still exists today means that they at least have enough power to make Aundair fear them, or even have the same power as Aundair.
Having made up his mind to run away, Mo Cheng looked at Dorothy and asked, "What are your plans?"
"Me?" Dorothy shrugged and answered indifferently, "Probably running away. All the delegation members died, and the death of the mayor of Napa Port was also related to me. These things can be easily predicted by the prophecy wizard. Aundair can't go back, so find a way to go to another country."
Dorothy knew very well what would happen if she returned to Aundair. She could not clear herself of the suspicion of assassinating the Lord of Napa Harbor, and there was no evidence that the death of the delegation had nothing to do with her. If she returned to Aundair, she would only be given titles such as "spy" and "traitor".
Principal Muzel cannot protect her. Winterhold Magical Academy is neutral in Aundair, and has received all the benefits and has the advantage of being on both sides. No matter which side it is on, it needs to put on a smiling face towards Winterhold Magical Academy.
But at the same time, Winterhold Academy of Magic cannot interfere in politics. If Dorothy returns to Aundair and Principal Muzel dares to come forward to protect her, then the long-standing neutral position of Winterhold Academy of Magic will be broken.
By that time, both the Queen's faction and the noble faction would probably target the Winterhold Magic Academy first.
Once you break your own position, it is impossible to return to neutrality.
In fact, Principal Muzel may not have known about it at first. When he realized that something was wrong, he asked Mo Cheng to come and help solve it. Judging from the price paid and the risks taken by the other party, he has done his best.
If Dorothy really did return to Aundair and Principal Muzel really did nothing, no one would blame him for it.
"I will not be traveling with you from now on. I will try to leave through the west gate. If you have any plans, you'd better hurry up."
"You are planning to die."
Mo Cheng mercilessly exposed Dorothy's actions. "The death of the mayor of Napa Harbor was the work of many forces. We are directly related to the mayor's death. Once we are discovered, there is basically no chance of returning alive. If you act alone, let alone run away, I will consider you a part-time master assassin if you can walk two blocks. "
"So what are you going to do?" Dorothy spread her hands, her violet eyes staring at Mo Cheng, "Do you know what kind of trouble we're in? The nobles of the Napa Harbor Lord want us dead, and the guy behind this incident doesn't intend to let me live."
"You are a hereditary earl. They will not do anything to you before the two countries go to war. They will even protect you if you return to Her Majesty the Queen of Aundair."
Dorothy knew clearly that she was facing a dead end. When she was the only one left alive in the delegation, she was destined to become the scapegoat.
Most people don't care what the truth of the matter is, but there must be a "sacrifice" of sufficient status to take responsibility for this incident.
Take responsibility with your life!
Facing the gradually approaching death, Dorothy's reason told her that the best choice was to bear it all by herself and let Mo Cheng and others leave safely.
But her sensibility and fear of death made her body tremble slightly at this moment.
"Listen to me, wait until night time..."
"Shut up, you bitch!"
Mo Cheng rudely interrupted Dorothy's words, without giving her the chance to continue speaking, "Do you want to live or die?"
Is it useful to ask this now?
Dorothy wanted to refute, but Mo Cheng stared at Dorothy's eyes and repeated, "Do you want to die or live? Answer me."
Without giving the other party more time to think, Mo Cheng counted down to three in his mind and spoke again, "I will assume that you want to live, so start listening to me now . I will take you out of this city, and you don't have to worry about Andel."
"You, I'll protect you!"
There is still a task hanging on the task system. Although only one person is left in the delegation, the task reward has been reduced to an extremely low level, but the task is still there, and Mo Cheng will not give up any task at will.
Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency, do you know what price you have to pay for sheltering criminals who destroy the peace between the two countries and assassinate important figures of other countries?"
"At worst, Her Majesty the Queen can reduce my earldom to baron, and take back my inheritance and territory. Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Mo Cheng didn't care at all what price he had to pay to save Dorothy. For him, that was all a matter for the future. Now there were more important things to consider.
"If we hide like this, the Kingdom of Bezeko will probably let the prophecy wizards or the star wizards locate us. Do you have any way to interfere with their location?"
Speaking of her professional expertise, Dorothy thought for a moment and then answered, "Yes, I can disrupt the opponent for 72 hours if he doesn't use the Mage Tower. But according to the worst-case scenario, I may only be able to disrupt the opponent for less than 12 hours."
"That's enough."
Twelve hours is enough time for Mo Cheng to take his men away from Napa Port. If they cannot leave within twelve hours, then there is no need for more time.
"After some repairs, we'll leave Napa Harbor in the evening."
After saying that, Mo Cheng walked out of the room and roughly informed others of his arrangements.
"Wait a moment……"
Just as Mo Cheng was about to leave, he heard a faint, humming voice from behind him. If it weren't for Mo Cheng's strong five senses, he might not even have heard what was being said.
Mo Cheng didn't look back, but waited quietly for the person behind him.
"Why do you want to do this? This should have nothing to do with you..."
Why do you do this? It's a boring question. Because of the mission, because he doesn't like others taking advantage of him.
But Mo Cheng felt that it would be troublesome to explain the reason no matter which one it was, so he pushed his glasses and said, "Yes, why?"
"Maybe it's because I'm [Zha Cheng]."
Well, the scumbag Makoto, the one who beats people into scum.
Abbreviated as [Zha Cheng].
A very reasonable abbreviation, without any ambiguity.
He pushed the door open and left, leaving only Dorothy in the room, who was playing with a recording instrument in her hands with her cheeks flushed.
