Chapter 498 Destiny will be controlled by humans.
While Mo Cheng was finding a quiet place to draw the lottery.
On the other side, at Administrator Bob's home.
“Bang!”
A heavy slap landed on the face of Ephialtis, the current guardian of order in Rothal City and the uncrowned king.
Surprise, grievance, and disbelief appeared on Ephialtes' face one after another. He looked at the man in front of him, tall and majestic. He was his father, the administrator of this city.
"Didn't I tell you to follow the team I left for you within five hours after I left the city?"
Executive Officer Bob was like an angry lion, his eyes wide open, ready to burst out with anger. "Why didn't you do as I said?!"
Ephialtes' lips moved slightly, wanting to explain, but in the end he lowered his head and said nothing.
He lowered his head and did not see the flash of disappointment in his father's eyes. Then Bob shouted, "Speak!"
He didn't want to say it, but his father's long-standing prestige had already penetrated his heart. Ephialtis could only answer, "A lot of things happened in the city at that time. I wanted to leave with Cinilla, but when I went to find him, I was stopped by some people, which delayed me. When I returned, the team had already left."
After hearing that Ephirtis was intercepted, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Executive Officer Bob's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said, "Tell me what happened during this period of time ."
“…”
Fearing his father's accumulated power, Ephialtes could only tell him everything that had happened recently.
When he went to look for Xinrila, he was blocked and rescued. Then he found Mo Cheng and cooperated with him.
In the end, the two of them used various means to even gain control of the city of Rothal, and then the Dragon Tomb was opened...
When talking about the opening of the Dragon Tomb, Eifeltis was vague. He knew that the identities of Mo Cheng and Taisai were a secret, so when he was telling the story, he simply skipped all the content related to Mo Cheng and Taisai.
He knew that his father would ask him in detail about his experiences in the Dragon Tomb, and he also knew that the words he made up would never be able to deceive, but what he knew even more was that he could not betray his friends.
Even if it was his father who asked him.
Perhaps Administrator Bob did not hear Ephialtis's concealment, or perhaps he heard it but did not point it out.
After listening to his youngest son's story, this lion-like man pressed his temple helplessly.
As the administrator of this city, he felt for the first time how difficult things were, especially when his youngest son was involved in the matter.
Things are getting troublesome.
Previously, the powerful nobles in the city of Rothal had received some news that His Majesty was planning to cooperate with the Dragon Cult to create a legion composed mainly of the [New Dragonborn].
[New Dragonborn] Compared to the Dragonborn, they have less self-awareness, obey orders, and have no fear of death.
The most important thing is that you don't pick people. As long as you let go, you can convert people into [New Dragonborn] city by city.
Administrator Bob felt that even if that thing was called the [New Dragonborn], it was essentially no different from the [Skeleton Soldiers] controlled by the Necromancer.
But His Majesty's order was absolute. Even in the country, one could faintly smell the scent of war. In addition, Administrator Bob had been secretly cooperating with the Dragon Cult in Rotal City for many years. So, at the instruction of the Governor, a group of city leaders simply gave up the city.
At the same time, before leaving, Executive Bob also left a way out for his worrying little son.
It was not that they did not want to take him with them, but in order to prevent the news from leaking out, a group of nobles were forcibly gathered together and left. As for the remaining nobles' subordinates and families, they were allowed to leave only after that.
According to the plan, the noble officials only need to take their families away temporarily for a period of time, and they don't need to worry about anything afterwards. The Kingdom of Bezeko will also have an extra legion that is not afraid of death and obeys all orders.
Even the losses of these nobles and officials would be compensated.
Something that seemed to satisfy everyone has now been destroyed.
Even his own foolish son became the actual controller when the noble officials of this city left.
You can't sit in this position at all.
Now that the leader of the Dragon Cult is dead, the plan has obviously failed. It would be fine if the city of Rothal fell into chaos directly, as all the blame could be put on the dead leader.
But now that someone is maintaining order, things are different. There will definitely be people who will blame the failure of the cult leader on the fact that someone maintained order.
As for whether the matter is true or false, they only need one person to be responsible and take the blame.
Damn, if there weren't still people left in Rothal City, he wouldn't have known that things had suddenly become so difficult.
Administrator Bob looked at Efiltis seriously and said, "Immediately disband your so-called organization that is used to maintain the order of the city. Don't worry about what happened. Leave with me tomorrow morning."
"Why?!" Having tasted power, even for just a short period of time, Ephialtes was the undisputed uncrowned king of the entire city at that time.
At this moment, he was asked to give up all the power in his hands . Even if he was facing his father, he couldn't help but ask and refute, "I have maintained the order of the city very well..."
“Bang!”
There is no answer, or rather, Administrator Bob has already given the answer.
A fierce slap in the face interrupted all questions, "No reason, pack your things and leave with me tomorrow. The [Flame Legion] will [cleanse] the city of Rothal tomorrow night and make sure all clues end here."
"Now, go back to your room until I call you out."
The people brought back by Administrator Bob were escorted to the room. Although Ephialtis' body had been reshaped and refined, he had no systematic training and combat experience, so it was impossible for him to fight against his father's guards.
But he had to find a way, a way to stop the [Purge] tomorrow night.
For the right to taste it for the first time, and also for Cinnamon.
"It seems that you are in some trouble."
Suddenly, a second person's voice was heard in the room.
"It's you?!"
The one who spoke was actually the deceased leader of the cult.
In front of five pitch-black stars, two cult leaders who looked exactly the same, with only the difference in pupil color, were standing in front of him.
A smiling, friendly person.
The other is arrogant and seems to treat everything as a stepping stone.
The kind head of the cult smiled and said, "I guess you are in distress now. Do you need help? For the woman you love."
…
On the other side, the prophet's real body stood on a high place, looking far away in the direction of the city of Rothal.
"It has finally begun. The prologue of the [Poem of Destiny] has already sounded. The Dragonborn King will completely wipe out the dragons from this world."
He stretched out his palm and clenched his fist towards the stars in the sky.
"Destiny will be controlled by people."
