Side Story Dark Tales - The Day Cohen Left(2/3)
Like a huge thunder, this news shocked Wen Sili and Kelly!
"And!" Feilin grabbed Wensley, who was running outside: "Sister... you must not let anyone know about this!"
Wen Sili nodded, took a deep breath, suppressed the tears in her eyes with difficulty, and walked out slowly pretending to be nonchalant.
"Wensley! I heard that Cohen was slightly injured..." It was Fischette who spoke. He stopped Wensley who had just left the tent from a distance: "Has he come back already? Or should we ask someone to take him flying?
Coming back?"
"Yes, it's just a slight injury, but he can't be exposed to the wind. He will ask someone to notify you as soon as he comes back! Go and see him quickly, he is already the governor, and he is still so willful..." Because there are other people around him,
Wen Sili had to answer like this, with a slight smile on her face, but her heart was almost broken.
"Ha! Then I'll go see him first. This kid!" Fichet smiled and walked towards the tent: "I don't know what bad idea I thought of again!"
Wensley hurriedly walked towards her tent...
When the tent cloth wrapping Cohen's body was gently opened by everyone, several people present felt that they were dizzy for a while, especially Winsly, who had just returned from sending a letter to her mother.
Cohen's black and red body, she fell down, and Feilin was so frightened that she quickly put her on the chair next to her.
"Ke... um." Kelly stretched out her hand, speechless.
"Everyone, cheer up!" As the only male among them, Fischette tried his best to control his emotions, hoping to give everyone confidence with his decisive tone: "Cohen will be fine! It must be like this, think about it.
This time, Cohen was able to survive such a bad situation...this time...it can only be regarded as a trivial matter!"
"Okay... OK!" Kelly gently covered Cohen with a blanket: "Aunt Elf will arrive tomorrow... Cohen will wake up as soon as she arrives..."
"Also! Grandpa repeatedly emphasized in the letter..." Felin looked at everyone: "The true condition of Cohen's injury must not be leaked! No matter who the enemy is, since they want to kill Cohen, they must have other preparations.
. We must strictly block the news to make them feel that Cohen is fine and the assassination has failed... In this case, they will stop temporarily and will not pursue Cohen fiercely at this critical moment!"
Fichet nodded: "Not only that, but also to create a festive atmosphere on the entire construction site! Feilin, you will come with me to officially announce the news of our victory in a moment and arrange some things. And Kelly, you
Accompanying Cohen with Wensley, we cannot leave even a step. During the period when Cohen is not awake, we must hold on and not allow the enemy to take advantage of us!"
"Wait a minute..." Wen Sili, who had just woken up, had tears on her face: "I also want to explain that everything was arranged by Cohen. The style should be exaggerated. Cohen's character is like this, otherwise people will see flaws.
Come……"
Think about it, everyone, this is indeed the case.
Later that day, His Royal Highness Prince Fichet, who was now the highest-ranking person in the Dark Province, held a meeting in the governor's tent to make specific arrangements for how to welcome the dark army that returned home victoriously.
Accompanying him was Mrs. Philling, the highest-ranking of the three wives of Governor Cohen, and almost all middle- and high-level officials attended.
Before the meeting started, people were surprised to find that Mrs. Feilin put on a formal dress today and even put on light makeup. This was something they had never seen before!
Perhaps because of the news of victory, Mrs. Feline's already energetic big eyes were shining with brilliance, and her face was also bright red, making her dignified and noble temperament look a little more friendly than usual.
feel.
Mrs. Feline stood by the big tent, chatting with the officials and sharing the joy of victory. Her high mood affected everyone who attended the meeting.
And His Highness Fichet, who is presiding over the meeting today, is currently sitting in the seat where the Governor usually sits with a grimace on his face. In his hand, he holds a few grass roots picked from who knows where... Now, he is pinching the grass roots.
Cut it into small pieces, throw it on the ground and step on it with your feet, while still saying something...
"Cohen, you guy! Just wait for me..." People who were closer could hear His Highness Fichet complaining in a low voice: "You are lying comfortably on the bed, but you asked me to preside over the meeting...
Me! I will definitely take revenge on you!"
We have seen too many situations like this. Usually Governor Cohen's friends feel that they are at a disadvantage after being bullied by someone, but they can't be beaten, they can't make sense, they have no way to ask for help, and they have no basis to appeal... That's Fischer
He has this expression now!
"Did you see it?" The officials held back their laughter and whispered to each other: "His Royal Highness Fichet was bullied by Governor Cohen again..."
"Of course, think about it, Governor Cohen has been on the war for so many years before he came back... He bullies anyone before he is caught! You have to be careful, the thing you were scolded for last time is not over yet!"
"But why doesn't Governor Cohen come to preside over the meeting?"
"You're stupid! Didn't you see that the two ladies didn't come? A breakup is better than a wedding, have you ever heard that..."
"I don't have a wife, how would I know?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as Governor Cohen knows..."
"Okay! Everyone is here!" His Highness Fichet clapped his hands after finishing pinching the grass roots: "Now, I will hold a meeting for that bastard Cohen... No, I will hold a meeting for Governor Cohen! Let me talk about this time first.
issue……"
Because His Highness Fichet accidentally said the word "bastard", the officials below were snickering and remembering the things assigned to them. They were laughing because if they didn't do their job well, they would be punished by the Governor.
Peel off a layer of skin... As for His Highness Fichet calling the Governor a bastard... His Highness Fichet's screams will definitely be heard throughout the Dark City tonight! This is a specialty of darkness and will never be heard elsewhere.
.
"Your Highness Fichet!" an official said with some embarrassment: "It's a bit difficult to hang ribbons on the city wall... You know, our city wall has not been completely built yet!"
"What's the point of knowing?" His Highness Fichet held his chin with his hand and said word by word without expression: "Did your dear, beloved, always correct, and itchy Governor-General say, 'Which one of you?
If the guy refuses, just ask him to come see me! I will be happy to have an interview with him.' I think maybe you are also looking forward to an interview with Cohen...I will arrange it for you right away."
His Highness Fichet's eyes are flashing, which means... there is danger! Because some people have been fooled more than once, and stupidly bumped into the point of the Governor who was in a bad mood. These are the Governor's brothers.
It’s an old routine that’s been used for a long time.
"No need! No need!" It's not like he has never been fooled before. The official waved his hands and said, "I think... we will find a way!"
"Really?" His Highness Fichet seemed a little frustrated because he couldn't find a scapegoat: "Do any of you still have any questions?"
"there is none left!"
"Then let's do it!" His Highness Fichet seemed to have thought of something, and waved his hands and said to everyone: "The meeting is dismissed!"
After Fichet finished speaking, he ran to stand next to Mrs. Feline and put on a sincere smile before he said anything.
"Feline, we are friends!" The officials walking by them heard His Highness Fichet apologize to Mrs. Feline: "Then can you consider forgetting a certain sentence I just said, so as not to treat someone wrong?"
Did anyone mention it?"
"But, I didn't sleep well because I was worried about someone these days..." Mrs. Feline said, "Which sentence are you referring to?"
"That's amazing! As expected of the governor's wife, it seems that His Highness Fichet will be blackmailed..." The officials slowed down and thought in their hearts.
"It's just that there's a bastard...I didn't mean it...you know he's in a bad mood..."
"Oh, that's right, but my birthday is coming soon! How can I have time to think about other things?"
"Ah...ah! Don't worry, Feilin! How can you be careless about celebrating your birthday?" His Highness Fichet said righteously: "How can the wife of the Governor of the Dark Province not wear something made by the Royal Tailor of the Holy City on her birthday?
Where is your dress? You must know that only that can bring out your noble temperament! No! As a friend of Cohen and your friend Feilin, I have to immediately order them to make a set for you, Madam!"
"That's it..." Feilin said with a smile: "Okay, I will forget what you just said for the time being!"
"Thank you!" someone said heartbrokenly.
Sure enough... the officials thought about their salaries and compared them with the cost of a royal dress. They all made up their minds that they would never say anything bad about the Governor in front of others!
Because that would mean bankruptcy...or it would be even worse than bankruptcy, and he would be bullied by the Governor!
The two of them discussed the details with other officials. It was already night. When they returned to the big tent, they saw Wen Sili waiting outside. Beside Wen Sili, there were three elves that they had never seen before. From the costumes
Look, the status will not be low.
"Fichet, sister Feilin, you are back!" Wensley stepped forward and grabbed Feilin's hand: "Mother is here!"
"So fast?" Fichet asked in surprise.
"Mother came with several elders, and they worked together to cast a kind of magic that consumes very much magic power." Wensley explained as she walked: "Mother is checking on Cohen's situation!"
"You go in first, I'll be with you right away." Fichet said, "I'll arrange the defense situation here!"
When Fichet arranged everything and entered the tent, His Excellency the Great Elf, who had just checked on Cohen, was resting.
This was the first time Prince Fichet saw the Great Elf. He walked over and bowed deeply to the courtesy of a junior: "Your Excellency the Great Elf, Cohen... how is he?"
"This matter is very difficult to handle. I don't even know how to explain it to you..." The Great Elf glanced worriedly at Cohen who was lying on the bed, sorting out his thoughts, while several other people had already been taken care of by the Great Elf. He was so frightened that he was shaking all over.
"If Cohen is dead now, it has been one day and one night from the moment he was injured. In such a long time, if he is really dead, a series of changes will occur in his body... ...let alone being hit to death by lightning magic from a superior person. Normally, people who die like this can’t even leave a trace of ashes behind.”
"Yes..." Fichet said with difficulty: "Then what?"
"Come and see." The big elf walked to Cohen and gently peeled off a layer of necrotic skin on Cohen's body with his fingers: "Although it has been so long, Cohen's current physical condition is no different from that of a healthy person! Except that Apart from the superficial layer of skin, Cohen has no internal or external injuries at all!”
As he spoke, the Great Elf also took out a small silver knife and pierced Cohen's skin, letting the blood stain it.
"Look." The Great Elf pointed to the blood stains and said: "Although Cohen has no heartbeat or breathing, and the blood is not flowing... his blood is still so bright red and healthy, with no signs of coagulation at all!"
"That is to say." Wen Sili looked at her mother expectantly: "Cohen..."
"Poor children, this means that Cohen is not dead." Before anyone could say anything, the big elf added: "But if Cohen keeps doing this and doesn't recover his breathing and heartbeat... he will eventually die."
"Then what should we do!" Wen Sili threw herself into her mother's arms, shoulders shaking: "Mom..."
"I'll try to treat it with magic first." The big elf stroked his daughter's hair: "If it doesn't work, there are other methods. In addition, Governor Weisu will also find a way... In short, let's work together! We must make Cohen better!"
"Yes, the top priority is to stabilize the situation in the entire Dark Province." Fishet's face turned a little red: "Cohen worked hard to build the Dark Province into what it is now! During his absence, Here, we must hold on well and not let the people below see the flaws. Otherwise, Cohen's busyness during this period and the victory of defeating the enemy after going through difficulties... will disappear with the collapse of people's hearts..."
"Yes, children, I am glad that you have noticed this." The Great Elf nodded approvingly: "You must unite as one and survive these days!"
"But, what about in the next few days?" Kelly asked, "What should we do then?"
To be continued...
