Chapter 571 The Last Supper!
Chapter 571 The Last Supper!
at the same time,
"elder sister!"
In a pink bedroom, Peggy Wan looked at Ulti, who was still sleeping, and felt inexplicable cramps in his heart.
My sister is always so nervous and carefree, even though today is such an important day!
"Damn it, why, why does this kind of sacrifice exist?" Peggy Wan clenched his fists tightly, tears dripping down uncontrollably.
He is not afraid of death, as long as his parents and sister are safe and sound, he can face everything calmly, even at the expense of his own life.
He even thought that if Urti was chosen unfortunately, he would be a sacrifice instead of his sister!
but now…
Peggy Wan was very conflicted.
He really wanted to take Urti away like this, and escape from this blood-shrouded country, but he was worried that his parents would be implicated!
"Xiao Pei?"
When Peggy Wan was in a dilemma, Urti rubbed his eyes lightly and woke up.
At this time, Urti looked blank. She remembered that she didn't seem to be bullying her younger brother today. Why did the other party come to her room and cry so sadly?
"Did you get bullied outside? Hahahaha, Xiaopei, you finally know how to complain to my sister."
"Don't worry, I'm the only one who can bully you in this world, and I'll avenge you right away!"
Urti stood up abruptly, full of fighting spirit and drive, and at the same time patted her non-existent biceps with a proud face, indicating that she was very strong, and it would be no problem to leave it to her.
Standing up for a younger brother who was beaten and cried is really too majestic!
With that said, Ulti jumped out of the bed quickly, and was about to go out with Peggy Wan. It seemed that she couldn't wait.
"Sister, today is the day of the blood sacrifice!"
"Blood Sacrifice! Is there any problem? Isn't it held every year?"
"This year is different...we're all on the list!"
"...Xiao Pei is here?"
"Ok!"
Hearing Peggy Wan's affirmative answer, Urti suddenly became dejected like a beaten eggplant.
"It's too much, Xiaopei, you are still so young, although mother said that there is everything in heaven, but it shouldn't be better than home, right?"
"Damn~ Does that mean we won't be able to eat meals made by mom in the future!"
"It's decided... Today I want to have a meal for ten people, no, at least 20 people, and my favorite rotating potato tart!"
Ulti's eyes were shining brightly, and she was talking to herself, with a smear of saliva left on the corner of her mouth as she spoke.
On the other hand, Peggy Wan was trembling with anger, and then roared loudly at Urti:
"Is it time to think about this kind of thing? There is no heaven in this world. When people die, there is nothing left. In the end, only a pile of bones will be left."
"We are all on the list, do you understand?"
This was the first time Peggy Wan had yelled at Ulti.
Although he would get angry in the past, he has always been accommodating to his family in every possible way, as docile as a little sheep!
"Huh, are you scared?" Ulti looked at Peggy Wan curiously, but this time, she didn't pull her brother's ears because of Peggy Wan's 'speaking badly'.
"Little Pei, fear is useless. For more than 600 years, there has never been a precedent for a sacrifice to escape."
"At this time, Mom and Dad must be more sad and sad than us!"
"I know you're scared, but my sister will be with you, forever and ever, we are a family, aren't we?"
Ulti smiled sweetly.
Although she is very nervous, she is also very clear that once she is on that list, then everything is a foregone conclusion.
There is nowhere for them to escape!
At this time, all the ships leaving this country must have been strictly controlled by the king's army, and there would not even be a piece of wood on the beach!
Not only that, running away is not only futile, but also hurts my parents.
She doesn't want this.
She wants Peggy Wan to live, which is her greatest wish now, but the reality is cruel, and there is nothing she can do.
Therefore,
So happy to have your last dinner with your family!
"I don't want to, I don't want my sister to die as a sacrifice."
"So, run away! No matter how slim the hope is, I will risk my life to send you out of here..."
Snapped!
Before Peggy Wan finished speaking, a slap suddenly hit him in the face.
"Dad... Dad!"
When he raised his head, he realized that his father, Hector, had arrived beside him at some point.
Simultaneously,
Mom was also leaning against the door, looking at him and Ulti sadly!
"Stupid brazen son, where can you escape on your own? You're already too busy to take care of yourself, but you still want to protect others. You're beyond your control."
"Speaking of strength, Dad, I am also the general of the Kingdom of Morris!"
Hector cursed bitterly.
"But..." Peggy Wan blinked innocently, and at the same time stood in front of Ulti calmly.
Of course he knew that there was little hope, and he also knew that Hector was the general of the Kingdom of Morris, because of this, he dared not discuss it with his parents!
After all, their father was notorious for having caught too many 'sacrifices' who wanted to escape.
And their family has long had the consciousness to sacrifice one of them to save the family when necessary.
I just didn't expect,
This time both he and Ulti appeared on the list!
"Protecting you is of course my father's responsibility!"
"...The ridiculous idea of sacrificing one of you to save your family will never happen again."
"Please let me act together!"
finished,
Hector bowed deeply to his son and daughter.
Peggy Wan's petty actions naturally couldn't be hidden from his eyes. As the head of the family, it was an unforgivable crime for him to let his children grow up in such an uneasy environment!
And now, it's time for redemption!
"I'm sorry, mom is the same, I shouldn't instill in you the idea of self-sacrifice, I'm not a qualified mother!"
"woooo~"
Vernis on the side sat slumped on the ground, weeping softly.
If she had a choice, she naturally didn't want anyone to be hurt.
unfortunately,
They can't choose their birth, they can't choose the country of birth, they can't reverse the thinking at the top and never-ending wars.
"Verenes, let's cook! Make Ulti and Pee's favorite roti potato tarts and nachos."
"Our family hasn't had a good meal together for a long time. Only when we are full can we have the strength to fight and escape!"
Regarding the process of sacrifice, Hector is very clear that publishing the list of blood sacrifices is only the first step.
The second step is to send the military to watch the families on the list to prevent them from escaping or rebelling.
Of course, if it involves the privileged class, it will be more troublesome, and special people must be sent to control the opponent's forces and subordinates!
Then someone will take the sacrifice to the sacrificial place designated by the palace.
Now their family is probably under surveillance. If they act rashly, they will definitely be surrounded by heavy troops!
But Hector is not in a hurry, he knows very well that now is not the best time to escape, and what they have to do now is to delay time.
Over the past 600 years, more than [-] sacrifices have been held, and public grievances have already boiled to the extreme, and there will be a big explosion every few years!
According to his observations during his usual patrols, this year is no exception, and the scale will definitely not be small.
And when those rebel forces rioted, it was the time for their family to escape!
……
After two hours,
The whole family sits around the dining table and feasts. In addition to the dishes on the table, there are dozens of plates of various delicacies in the kitchen.
At this time, naturally there is no need to save!
"Woo~ Mom's rotating potato tart is really delicious, and I can finally open my stomach and eat it to my heart's content."
"Damn stomach, I can't eat it at this level, I'm so unwilling!"
Ulti rubbed her bulging stomach with grief and anger, trying to digest the food inside.
Unfortunately, the effect is not great!
"Sister, you have already eaten 30 servings." Looking at the mountains of dishes beside Urti, Peggy Wan reminded at the right time.
Compared with Ulti, Peggy Wan is a lot more 'gentle'. He doesn't want to be so full that he won't even be able to run away!
of course,
He also had no intention of persuading Ulti to eat less, after all, this was likely to be their family's last dinner.
"Hahahaha, as expected of my daughter, not only does she have an amazing appetite, but she is also as good as a boy in a fight!"
"Huh? It's the first time Dad praised me for being good at fighting. Don't you want to be a lady today?"
"It's no longer needed. If someone breaks in later, no matter who it is, don't show mercy!"
Hector shook his head.
Judging from the current situation, Urti should not talk about marrying in the future, let's talk about surviving first!
"Hee hee, I see, just like usual, beat up all those people until their noses and faces are swollen."
"No, I killed them!"
"Can't you knock it down?"
"No! Those people are different from your previous opponents. Even if they are knocked down, they still pose a huge threat. They have guns in their hands. As long as you lightly pull the trigger, you may die!"
Oh?
Urti rubbed his forehead, looking thoughtful, as if he understood what his father said.
"Crash!"
suddenly,
Ulti violently pushed down the hill-like dishes, fiercely took out a ferocious and heavy mace from behind.
This is one of the weapons that Hector keeps in the storage room.
Although he wanted Urti to choose a sharper sword, after all, in his opinion, dexterous weapons were more suitable for girls.
unfortunately,
His cute little padded jacket seems to have a soft spot for this weapon.
The ghost knows how Ulti can use it so skillfully and smoothly, and I often teach her to be a gentle lady!
"This can't be done, Xiaopei and mother are too weak, and father doesn't seem to be strong enough, if that's the case..."
"Then kill them all!!!"
Peggy Wan: "..."
Verenes: "..."
Hector: "?!!"
