Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit - Chapter 92
Chapter 92 Showdown with the Governor
The morning sun shone on the splendid and majestic Storm’s End.
Storm’s End is built of huge beige stones.
On its outer layer, there is a thick and towering city wall surrounding it.
Li Feng looked towards the high city wall, where there were countless bunkers and battlements.
Behind the battlements, a row of armored soldiers stood guard.
At the main entrance of the city wall, there is a huge bronze door as high as three people, with an iron portcullis outside the door.
At this moment, the iron portcullis was closed, and the huge bronze door was closed tightly.
Led by Lannis, Li Feng and Kestrel entered through the narrow side door.
After entering the city wall, the wide square in front of the fort greets you.
They walked through the square, passed the resplendent covered bridge, the arched hall, and finally climbed the steps with soldiers standing guard on both sides.
Finally came to the meeting hall of Storm’s End – the Eye of the Storm.
Here, Li Feng met Governor Penrose Fell again.
At this moment, the governor is casually sitting on a tall chair with dragon reliefs at his feet and dozing off.
Below him, in the hall of the Eye of the Storm, there were a group of noble retainers dressed in brocade clothes standing on both sides.
When Li Feng and Kestrel entered the eye of the storm, their attendants reported to the Governor in a low voice.
The governor who heard the report did not move. He was still asleep with his eyes downcast, and the entire hall was silent.
After a long while in silence, the governor raised his slightly drooping eyelids and looked towards the center of the hall.
“Ha, it’s the Kestrel, long time no see.”
As if he didn’t see Li Feng, Penrose Fell opened his eyes and only exchanged greetings with Kestrel.
Kestrel twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded slightly and saluted:
“Your Excellency, the nobleman is so forgetful, didn’t we fight against demons together a few days ago.
It’s a pity that the demon didn’t die in our hands. It’s a pity in life. “
Kestrel responded with a very relaxed smile, and he politely pointed out the Governor’s failure.
Hearing this, the governor’s eyes shrank slightly, and after only a few words, he took a soft nail.
“Hahaha-“
The governor waved his long arm, and immediately changed into an open-minded and heroic expression.
He ignored the Kestrel and turned to Li Feng.
With an open-minded smile, he took a deep look at Li Feng standing in the middle of the hall, and said:
“It seems that this is the great hero who saved our Wind’s Rest—Mr. Rhine, he is truly a talented young man.”
Governor Fell said this, and suddenly paused, the smile on his face became a little unclear:
“However, I have always had a question, and I wonder if Mr. Rhine can answer it for me today.
That is, as a hunter, but also as a priest of wisdom and life, which **** does Mr. Rhine believe in? “
When Li Feng heard Penrose Fell’s question, he knew it clearly.
‘Sure enough, the second official is waiting here, and the governor is questioning my impure faith. ‘
After understanding the Governor’s intention, Li Feng smiled slightly:
“I believe in the Seven Gods.”
The Governor raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
At this time.
Standing at the first place on the left side of the hall, a middle-aged man in a black formal suit came out doubtfully.
He first saluted the governor respectfully, then turned around and asked Li Feng:
“Mr. Rhine believes in the Seven Gods? This is the first time I’ve heard such a statement.”
With an exaggeratedly confused expression on his face, he walked five steps in front of Li Feng and continued:
“I only heard that hunters believe in the goddess of hunting, and praying people believe in the goddess of wisdom and life.
It has never been heard that any extraordinary person would believe in the Seven Gods at the same time. “
The middle-aged man in black formal attire spoke while looking around, intending to attract the support of other nobles.
And those nobles did immediately agree.
One time.
Words like “Yes”, “That’s right”, “Master Moros’s words are very reasonable” can be heard endlessly in the eye of the storm.
After getting the response, the man named Moros smiled even wider.
He took advantage of the victory and continued to ask Li Feng, saying:
”The seven gods each have their own specialties, and they use different paths to teach believers to maintain the peace of the world.
Then Mr. Rhine, which one is your path? “
Moros spread his exaggerated hands slightly, and looked at Li Feng with a confused smile.
Moros, Li Feng once heard about this man from Captain John.
He is Governor Fell’s chief political adviser, and the real boss of Dothan Shipping Company—Wilson Moros.
Li Feng still remembered that Moros was not a supernatural being, and it was he who gave Jory Fair an idea.
Let Jory Fair use the steam warship on the technology side to fight against the pirate ship Misty on the mysterious side.
This eventually led to the tragic death of 100 Storm’s End soldiers.
Li Feng raised his head slightly, and glanced around with his peripheral vision.
Now not only Moros is looking at him, but everyone in the Eye of the Storm hall is also looking at him, naturally including Governor Penrose Fell.
Different from the kestrel who was frowning slightly and worried, these people all looked relaxed and had a slightly sarcastic smile.
They are waiting to see their own show.
At this time.
Li Feng, who was being watched by everyone, actually smiled slightly, and he replied in a calm voice:
“Mr. Shenzheng is right.”
Li Feng’s tone was relaxed, without any embarrassment at all:
“As Mr. Canzheng said, there are seven true gods, and they all teach believers and maintain peace in the world.
Although the methods of teaching are different, the starting point is exactly the same.
The seven gods have the same goal for us mortals, but how dare we treat the seven gods favorably and selfishly, and worship the **** who responds to us devoutly? “
When Li Feng spoke, his tone was steady and his expression was natural.
Like Moros, he also spoke to everyone present.
The nobles who were waiting to see the joke just now are silent now.
The smiles on their faces all disappeared, some looked at Moros, and some secretly looked at Governor Fell.
Li Feng’s remarks and Moros, who was overwhelmed by his demeanor, were taken aback. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.
The Eye of the Storm hall was quiet for a second.
Kestrel was very happy to see that Li Feng was able to resolve the crisis by himself.
But at the same time, he was also shocked by what Li Feng said.
Thinking of Li Feng’s words in his heart, Kestrel began to be a little uncertain, whether Li Feng said this to retaliate against Moros, or he really thought so.
But now is not the time to think about it.
Seeing that the scene was a bit cold, Kestrel planned to stand up and smooth things over.
But at this moment, applause suddenly came from the governor’s throne in the Eye of the Storm Hall.
“Good! Well said!”
Governor Fell clapped his hands and laughed and praised Li Feng, but under the smile, he narrowed his eyes imperceptibly.
Governor Fair was very clear at this time, he didn’t like this young man.
This has nothing to do with what Li Feng said, or even how close he is to the Kestrel and the Ring of the Earth.
Those are just words, and there are disputes over positions.
What really caught Governor Fair’s attention was Li Feng’s expression and attitude.
This young commoner, in the majestic and magnificent Hall of the Eye of the Storm, which is extremely oppressive to the nobles, faced so many nobles whose status was much higher than his own, yet he was able to speak calmly and eloquently.
Governor Fair believes that there are only two reasons why a person can do this.
Or, he is a member of the royal family and has been noble since birth, so it is normal to have such conversations.
Or, this person has great ambitions and doesn’t take Storm’s End seriously.
In the past few days, Governor Fell has investigated Li Feng.
But there are indications that he cannot be a member of the royal family.
Then, the only explanation for his behavior is the second reason.
It’s just that this person has great ambitions, and he doesn’t care about himself, Storm’s End at all.
This is exactly what Governor Fair cannot tolerate the most.
As for Li Feng, he also considered these before answering Moros’s question.
The nobles of the feudal dynasty demanded nothing more than timidity, respect, and obedience to the common people.
Li Feng also considered whether it was necessary to pretend, but then he thought about it, what is this?
I have been a human being for three generations, and I have done it openly and aboveboard, and I can also do sneak attacks and plots. I can exchange benefits, but he can’t do servile things, and he is even more ashamed to do them.
Life is short for a few decades, I would rather be a beggar than a slave.
“After all, the younger generation is awesome—”
In the Hall of the Eye of the Storm, the voice of Governor Fell sounded again:
“Better than when we were young!”
The governor was chatting with Kestrel and his retainers with a smile at this time.
Because of the governor’s statement, the embarrassing scene just now was swept away.
Kestrel heaved a sigh of relief, while the nobles tried their best to agree with the governor.
Even Moros, the chief political adviser who had lost face just now, immediately changed his attitude and complimented Li Feng along with the governor.
The entire Eye of the Storm hall looked peaceful.
Suddenly, at this moment, the amiable Governor waved his hand lightly, and said to Knight Commander Lannis:
“Bring it up.”
Lannis immediately returned the salute, his movements were crisp and neat, and did not cause any waves in the relaxed and happy hall.
But after a while, Lannis returned to the hall.
Behind him were two Storm’s End soldiers, and these two soldiers were carrying a stretcher on which lay a rotting corpse.
The three dead bodies attracted everyone’s attention as soon as they entered the Eye of the Storm Hall.
The nobles on both sides of the separation hall were startled when they first saw the corrupted corpse.
They immediately covered their mouths and noses, looked at each other, and then talked in low voices.
The corpse was placed in the center of the Eye of the Storm hall, next to Kestrel and Li Feng.
The two of them also looked at the corpse at the same time, Kestrel frowned slightly, so he didn’t know what the governor was trying to do.
As for Li Feng, he knew in his heart after just one glance, isn’t this an old acquaintance?
Governor Fell actually found the Abyss Blessed Hunter killed by him in the underwater cave of Moonlight Island.
Li Feng looked at the corpse carefully, and there was no change from when he just killed it, except for corruption.
Even the short fishbone knife that he pierced into the hunter’s chest and broke was still there.
’It seems that the governor is going to use this to make trouble. ‘
Li Feng was figuring out various details in his mind, when he heard the governor sitting above him ask with a smile:
“Mr. Rhine, do you know this person?”
There was no question in his tone, just like chatting about family affairs, but the meaning behind it, anyone could understand it.
Hearing the question, Li Feng looked at the hunter’s corpse.
Actually, he didn’t know how many times he had lied about this matter.
This lie is the same no matter where it is told or to whom it is told.
Now, Li Feng told the lie to the governor and everyone again.
But this time, he added how he fell into the Moonlight Island pond in search of fresh water.
Then unfortunately sank to the bottom of the water, discovered the underwater cave, and then encountered this corpse.
After Governor Fell finished listening, he glanced at Knight Commander Lannis.
Lannis nodded slightly, indicating that there is no problem with what Li Feng said.
Governor Fell had a look of disappointment on his face.
And the next moment.
The Moros who troubled Li Feng just now appeared again.
He walked into the corpse to have a look, then turned to Li Feng, and asked:
“So Mr. Rhine, as you said, after you discovered the dead hunter, you stole his secret treasure flint?”
Moros said the word “steal” very strongly, and it seems that he wants to add the name of thief to Li Feng.
Li Feng naturally heard his intentions.
‘This person doesn’t seem to be able to catch me, but he still wants to disgust me. ‘
Different from the relaxed and indifferent just now, Li Feng took a step forward with a serious expression.
He said to the people present and the governor:
“Although I hadn’t been promoted to Transcendent at that time, I was just a mortal, but I was not without common sense in the Transcendent field.
This person has a gray complexion and protruding eyeballs. At first glance, he looks like an abyss favored person who has used dirty power for a long time, and a devil’s minion.
He was slain when I met him then, but even if he hadn’t, I would have fought him as a mortal.
Not because of anything else, but because he is a self-willed and degenerate abyss-loving person who makes a living by killing his compatriots. He is the common enemy of our generation of law-abiding people. “
Li Feng’s words were just and right, and he was right.
As for common sense, it was naturally learned later in the church library.
But this is the highest point of morality, but Moros was speechless for a while.
But Moros immediately turned a few thoughts in his heart.
After all, he has discussed politics for many years, and climbed to the position of chief political participant step by step. How could he not understand the general speaking skills.
What Li Feng said just now seems to be just words, but what has it to do with him stealing this person’s secret treasure?
At this moment, Moros secretly smiled in his heart:
‘This young man is young and inexperienced. The more he says that, the more hypocritical he will appear. ‘
Realizing this, Moros immediately countered:
“Can…”
But Li Feng interrupted him just in time.
He said loudly to everyone present:
“I first met this man in the underwater cave, and I thought he was also a poor man, and I wanted to try to bury him.”
Li Feng glanced at the dead body on the ground, and continued:
“But when I got closer, I saw that he turned out to be the Blessed One. In my heart, I hated the human beings who turned to the devil.
It’s just that he was dead at the time, and I couldn’t do anything about it.
Although the dead are the most important, I will definitely not bury those who turn to the devil.
But just when I wanted to leave, I suddenly felt a sense.
In a trance, I felt that the exhaustion and pain of my shipwreck disappeared suddenly.
Based on the extraordinary common sense I read in books, I found that I had awakened extraordinary abilities.
At the same time, I also heard a sound of the wind, and it was this sound of the wind that led me to find the flint under the man’s robe. “
A group of nobles in the opposite hall, Li Feng told lies with full confidence.
Players naturally don’t have the induction when awakening to the extraordinary, these are what Li Feng learned later in the church library.
I learned it at the time, just to prepare for unexpected needs in the future.
I just didn’t expect it to be used so soon.
“Wind sound?”
Governor Fell, who was sitting in a high position, suddenly asked a question. He read these two words slowly, and then looked at Li Feng.
