I, Emperor Ursus!

So, entering the living room of the accommodation, Nicholas sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. Seeing Nicholas sitting down, the two imperial guards understood Nicholas' intentions and decisively opened the sack, and put the What was contained unfolded before Nikolai's eyes.

No, to be precise, one is a thing and the other is a person, both of which are firmly bound by ropes and cannot move.

The thing in it is Mephisto, the bandage on his mouth was torn off by the imperial guards, and he was breathing the fresh air crazily with his face dripping with sweat and hypoxia, and the person in it was Faust, whose expression was very Indifferently, he glanced at Wuyang next to Mephisto and then looked at Nicholas, the eyes looming in the emerald green eyes were full of innocence, not the slightest bit of fear.

The bandage on the mouth was not torn off by the imperial guards, it was a special instruction from Nicholas, the meaning is unknown.

"...You, why are you still alive?"

Immediately after recovering, Mephisto saw Nicholas sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes widened in disbelief, with a horrified expression of seeing a ghost.

"Hey, you dog emperor, why don't you die!"

Then he shouted with ferocious anger, in a certain way Mephisto's performance is quite brave, he is not really scared like a kid, most people who really want to switch to the integration movement are afraid of being scared Don't dare to say a word, the courage is commendable.

Therefore, Nicholas felt that it was necessary to praise him.

Afterwards, he moved the wheelchair to Mephisto, and Nicholas raised his palm expressionlessly.

"Every time I say a word, I will slap you in the face."

Accompanied by the violent wind, it slapped Mephisto's face with a 'swish', and the majestic force it slapped off two of Mephisto's front teeth with a single click, instantly crushing Mephisto. The red envelope of the extra-small face fan is bulging, and the palm marks are deeply sunken.

"How dare you slap..."

'Slap', a slap down.

"Remember, I will definitely..."

'Slap', another slap.

"What are you..."

'Slap', another slap.

"... Woo."

And when Nicholas was about to slap for the fourth time, Mephisto's face was already slapped in a disfigured way, with bloodstains all over his face, blue and red, just looking at it was shocking, his body was trembling, and he was really afraid to keep Silence still shed disappointing tears, looking at Nicholas with fear in his eyes, even Boris and the imperial guards present felt really miserable, they had never seen someone slap him so hard.

With just a 'snap', Nicholas still slapped the silent Mephisto, almost concussing Mephisto, whose face was bleeding, and his head was dizzy.

"Why did you slap me when I didn't speak!!!!" Mephisto yelled in confusion and annoyance with his face covered in bruises, not knowing why Nicholas slapped him even if he didn't speak.

"Who told you not to speak?"

It's a pity that Nicholas didn't take it seriously, and slapped Mephisto faintly on the ground with the last slap, and there was no extra warmth in the eyes of the fainted Mephisto.

At the end, he shook his head to the imperial army, told the imperial army to tear off the bandage on Faust's mouth, took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped the blood on his hands casually, he was satisfied.

"You are very smart and sensible. Watching your companion being beaten, knowing that pleading for mercy may cause your companion to experience more pain, you simply didn't say anything. Let's see how I react to you."

After wiping, they commented on Faust's behavior without saying a word. Looking into Faust's eyes, Nicholas and Faust's current expressions were as cold as ice. The only difference was that one was looking down. , one side is looking up, it is self-evident who occupies the dominant power.

"Do you know who I am?" Looking at Faust with cold eyes, Nicholas asked this question.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Ursus, Nicholas."

Greeted Faust's low-pitched reply, which was very decisive without any hesitation.

"So, why do you want to see me, His Majesty the Emperor of Ursus?"

And recalling the information that the masked man confided to him before he fainted, Faust asked blankly, with no dislike for Nicholas in his tone.

I have never hated Ursus, and the motivation to join the integration movement is nothing more than Mephisto. Wherever Mephisto is, he will follow.

Even in death, he will accompany Mephisto.

That is Mephisto is his only family in this world, without Mephisto, he can no longer find the desire to live.

"Because I want you to be my subordinate."

As a result, this reply from Nicholas immediately caught Faust, who heard it, stunned. He looked at the eyes of Nicholas who didn't change his face in astonishment, and Faust didn't react for a moment.

The emperor of a dignified empire personally said that he wanted him to be his subordinate.

This is unimaginable in Faust's cognition.

"Why did you choose me? I don't think I have any special abilities." Faust asked more and more confused, and Faust wondered if he had auditory hallucinations.

Then, Nicholas gave his answer in a cold voice.

"Your skills are not special, but your raw stone skills are special, that's why I like you."

Just a single sentence clearly stated that what I was looking for was Faust's raw stone skills, and it had nothing to do with Faust's ability.

In the world of Terra, the attributes of raw stone skills completely lay the foundation for a person's rough stone skills. Why are Tallulah, Amiya, and Kelsey so strong and have great potential? The attributes of Da Ma's rough stone skills are different from ordinary people, but in Nicholas' eyes, Faust's rough stone skills can be said to be quite outstanding, and he attaches great importance to it.

What is outstanding is not how powerful its combat ability is, but its auxiliary ability can be called miraculous.Different from Ethan's way of changing color, the technique of Faust's original stone is to allow some specific unit space to refract, and it can achieve the effect of invisibility as a whole, which can be said to be an absolute invisibility cloak for a whole.

Therefore, unless the information is known in advance and restrained by Huang like in the plot, it is impossible for anyone to crack it. A typical perfect special forces, he naturally attaches great importance to it, since Faust and Phantom Crossbowman have a chance You can see it if you can assassinate him.

In addition, Faust's character is not bad, this is the reason he thinks he can win over, and also has his own purpose of infiltrating the integration movement more, so it can be said that he is an indispensable member of his plan.

As for how to ensure Faust's loyalty, Nicholas already has an answer in his mind.

"…and."

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Faust to answer, Nicholas took the lead in preaching.

"If you want the man next to you to live, you know you have to listen to me, don't you?"

It poked at the weakest spot in Faust's heart, causing Faust to slightly open his eyes.

"If you want the person next to you to survive Tallulah's grasp."

It's not that the last sentence hit Faust's weakness, but this sentence hits Faust's weakness. Maybe Mephisto is stupid and doesn't understand, but Nicholas knows that Faust definitely knows Tallulah He has been using Mephisto, and secretly threatened Faust once, saying that if Faust does not obey the order, Mephisto may be used to death.

Especially the idiot Mephistopheles still didn't listen to Faust's advice, the non-single-cell trust Tallulah didn't leave the integration movement, no matter how much Faust tried to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him until the Longmen Incident in the plot was defeated Tallulah made full use of it, and watched Faust die before realizing it.

But what's the use?The dead have no hope of being resurrected, and finally choose to die like Faust, becoming a cold dead body.

Ridiculous, but also inexplicably sad.

Poor people must have something to hate.

This proverb applies everywhere.

"..."

And slightly bowed his head, without replying to Nicholas at the first moment, Faust frowned slightly as if he was thinking about something, presumably it was a bargaining chip for negotiating with Nicholas, at least let Mephisto go, first Make sure Mephisto is safe.

His words don't matter.

As long as Mephisto lives.

"...In addition, as long as you agree, I will ask someone to send you and Mephisto out of the city now, and you can go back to the integration movement. I will definitely not send someone to intervene."

But as if he had expected what Faust would think, Nicholas continued, ignoring Faust's shocked expression.

"And don't worry about your subordinates, they are in the embassy of Longmen Usas. As long as these people don't die, I can keep them safe until I think it's appropriate to release them."

Not forgetting to mention this, Nicholas' voice was flat and natural, as if he was talking about a very common thing.

A thing that protects everyone who 'assassins' his own team and doesn't hold grudges.

To Faust's ears it simply does not make sense.

"…you."

Faust who heard Faust murmured involuntarily was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He thought that Nicholas would threaten him with Mephisto as a hostage, but he never let him and Mephis go. What is he trying to predict with the prediction that Tet will leave together and save the lives of all his subordinates.

Just to...to show his loyalty?

At this level, aren't you afraid that he and Mephisto will betray after returning to the Integration Movement?

"What do you want me to do?" Then, Faust narrowed his eyes cautiously.

"After all this, what the hell do you want me to do back in the integration movement?"

Questioning the reason why Nicholas did this, the so-called pay and reward are equal, Faust undoubtedly understands this truth, not to mention that Nicholas is the emperor of Ursus, Faust is even more vigilant.

"do nothing."

And Nicholas's subsequent response made Faust dumbfounded.

"What you did before, what you continue to do when you return to the integration movement, this is exactly the task I gave you."

Rarely dumbfounded, he was shocked by what Nicholas said.

"I protect your subordinates, but I just ask you to return to the fact that you met me after the integration movement, and after that, I will not interfere with your behavior."

I never expected that this kind of task was bestowed by Nicholas. If you don't do anything, it can't be called a task at all.

"And when you think it's appropriate, you can sneak to Azazel, where someone will tell you what to do next."

It is not an exaggeration to say that he and Mephisto were let go, and he was told the location of the secret sentry, and he was not worried at all that he would abandon the lives of the Phantom Crossbowmen members to inform Tallulah.

It was as if she had [-]% confidence in him.

Faust sensed this.

"Why do you have to do this?"

Following that, Faust couldn't help asking with deep doubts.

"Aren't you afraid that I will inform you and tell Tallulah when you return to the integration movement?"

Maybe this question sounds inappropriate, but it is a question that must be answered in Faust's mind. No one is a fool, especially Nicholas in front of him. Faust is very self-aware and realizes that he is definitely better than him. Smart, what he could think of, how could Nicholas not think of it, Nicholas concluded that he had his own abacus.

"You will not."

It's a pity that Nikolai didn't care.

"You don't trust Tallulah at all, and you never trusted that Tallulah created the integration movement for the sake of the infected."

Frankly stated the most scruples of Faust, and shocked the wide-eyed Faust's gradually shaking heart.

"And you are a smart person, you are brought here by my imperial guards, you must have already guessed something, did Tallulah really care about the infected, did she really care about Mephisto? You should compare Everyone understands, Faust."

So much so that Faust couldn’t help thinking back to why the people sent by Red Knife would betray them, and why Tallulah’s reply to him in the note after Red Knife and Mephisto discussed the plan was to acquiesce to Mephisto It turned out that all of this was premeditated and planned.

"It's not whether I want to trust you or not, it's because you have no choice, Faust."

Yes, his sense of disobedience is correct, all of this is a conspiracy, a trick, a conspiracy of Ursus, a trick of Emperor Ursas.

"I know everything about you, your past, and how much you value Mephisto. You want Mephisto to live, but you understand that the current integration movement led by Tallulah will only push the infected On the stage of hostility to all governments in the Terra world, and with Mephisto’s heart and ability, he will definitely not be able to stand on the table, and can only be used by others until the value is squeezed out.”

That's right, he and Mephisto are chess pieces on the chessboard from beginning to end. Faust doesn't know if Tallulah is in it, but Red Knife must be in it. As a cadre, he has colluded with Ursus Together, it is the people of Ursus. In the end, the integration movement is simply in the pocket of Ursas, and they have always been self-righteous.
