Chapter 605: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
At midnight that day, the Chinese Palace where Lin Shuo and his wife were located ushered in an unexpected guest.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning, just like in He Shanshan's house two hours ago, a person suddenly appeared next to the bedside of the head of the hunting gate and his wife.
Of course, this person is not Yu Ruifeng, but an old man who is almost sixty years old with gray hair.
And the effect of his appearance is far less terrifying than Yu Ruifeng.
The stepping bed has a white gauze tent, and the view from the inside and outside is isolated.
In addition, since this person entered the Chinese Palace, both Lin Shuo and Di Lan have already noticed it.
In Lin Shuo's concept, this person should have come to see him a long time ago.
The Grand Butler of the Nordic Court and the strongest cultivator in Northern Europe, Gawain.
This knight of the round table once fought with Lin Shuo when he was welcoming his relatives last year, and the old man was bent on seeking death, but he was dissolved by Lin Shuo lightly and did not die.
In Europe, the lineage of the Knights of the Round Table, like the druids, is older than the Holy See.
The Holy See originated in the Apennine Peninsula of Southern Europe two thousand years ago, while the Knights of the Round Table and the Druids, which were the spiritual traditions of the Celts in northern Europe, were many years earlier.
Although the Celts became more and more miserable under the attack on each other, the original religious beliefs of the Celts were gone, and now most of them have converted to the Crescent Sect of the Holy See in Europe, but the spiritual tradition has been preserved in the end.
And the inheritance of Gawain, a knight of the round table, has become worse and worse in the last few hundred years, because of the premature death of the heir.
However, Gawain himself was lucky.
In his early years, when he traveled to sea, he met one of the Nine Dragons family of Hunting Gate, the previous head of the Yang family, that is, the father of Yang Baokun, who had fought with Lin Shuo in the peer alliance.
The Kowloon family of the Hunter Gate is distributed all over the world, staring at Kowloon respectively.
Among them, there are two European borders, and the old Yang family has been stationed on an island in the Norwegian Sea near Northern Europe for generations.
It has been freezing for thousands of years, staring at something in the maelstrom of Moscow.
The old master of the Yang family met this young man named Gao Wen back then, and felt that this kid's cultivation qualifications were barely eye-catching, and his character was okay, so he nodded a few words.
This point is unacceptable, forty years later, Gawain is already the number one master in the Nordic cultivation circle. Not counting those hermit masters and the heads of major sects, he can be regarded as a leader and a face in the European cultivation circle.
This matter, later at the wedding banquet where Di Lan married Lin Shuo, it was Gao Wen who took the initiative to tell Lin Shuo.
How did he meet the old master of the Yang family back then, and Lin Shuo heard it at that time.
The Yang family's major is a masterpiece, and he has always seen the beginning and the end, and there are not many deeds, and there is such an anecdote in the rivers and lakes.
But no matter what, Gawain is a person who has more or less a relationship with the Hunter Gate.
In addition, he is also a representative of the Nordic ashram.
Lin Shuo, the head of the hunting sect, came to Northern Europe, and this identity cannot be announced to the Nordic people, but Gao Wen, a representative of the Nordic cultivation circle, should have to contact Lin Shuo as soon as possible.
Everyone is a cultivator, an insider, and if there is anything to know each other, this is the landlord's duty.
Moreover, Gawain is a person who represents Northern Europe to deal with the affairs of the spiritual circle, and he should know far more about the ins and outs of the current situation in Europe than the average person.
As a result, the old man disappeared for several days, and in the middle of the night, he suddenly appeared in the bedroom of Lin Shuo and his wife.
I can't talk about what Lin Shuo said about this, Di Lan was already sitting on the bed and began to curse through the white gauze tent:
"Gawain, what's the matter with you?
You Knights of the Round Table are commonplace, and all kinds of deceptions to my Nordic royal family in the past are forgotten, and I don't bother to expose you with a blind eye.
Now that something is wrong, I don't expect your cultivation to be able to resist a strong enemy, but it's not difficult to ventilate me, right?
Why did you delay coming now?"
"Princess, I'm not coming. Gao Wenren stood on the edge of the stepping bed, hanging his hands, "I can't help it, there are people staring at me over there, in order to get rid of this stalk, I have spent a lot of time." ”
"Who's staring at you?" Dylan asked.
"My self-cultivation, although I can't enter the eyes of the head of the forest, but after all, there is a bit of a false name in the European territory, and they still attach great importance to me, and sent the paladins of the Knights Hospitaller to watch me personally. Gao Wen said, "He cultivated a little higher than me, and he dragged me to drink every day, and the amount of alcohol was better than mine, and I really couldn't do anything about him at first." Fortunately, this person is lustful, so I arranged two girls for him, so he was able to get out. ”
"Paladins of the Knights Hospitaller. Lin Shuo asked, "Is this person's name Erwin?"
"Mr. Lin also knows about this person?"
"I know too much. ”
Lin Shuo didn't know about this person, he had chartered the entire red-light district in Borneo for him last time.
The old guy can be in good health, three streets before and after three days, stunned to play a clearance.
And this man has a handle in his own hands, and Alphat's death has nothing to do with him.
So Gawain was able to get out this time, which should also be intentional by the new paladin.
It's inconvenient to help clearly, so he secretly raises a hand.
So Lin Shuo said: "Okay, you can talk about things here, he can't finish it in a short time." ”
"Yes. Gao Wen responded, and then said, "Let's talk about this, to put it simply, there is a simple way to say it, and there is a detailed way to say it in detail." If you really want to be able to say it well, it will be far away, and you have to start talking about it twenty years ago. ”
"Then you move a stool, sit down and talk slowly, the more detailed the better. Lin Shuo said.
Gao Wen moved a chair and sat down, and then said, "Princess Dilan, do you still remember, you had several cousins before. ”
"Hmm. Dylan replied, "I have had three cousins.
My grandfather's throne, at that time, these three cousins were ahead of my mother, and my mother was only the fourth in line of succession.
However, in the period from 20 years ago to 10 years ago, these three cousins died one after another, and my mother became the first in line of succession. ”
"Then does the princess know how your three cousins died?" asked Gawain.
When Di Lan heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched: "Could it be my mother......"
"Don't think so. Gawain quickly interrupted, "Your mother was not involved in this matter from beginning to end, and was even completely unaware of it at the time.
But these three assassinations are clever, not only can others find no evidence at all, it is three accidents, and the assassins also forged a power of attorney and detained it in their hands.
In other words, your mother obviously didn't attack the three cousins, but these assassins did it for your mother, and they also used it as evidence that your mother entrusted them.
Once this falsified evidence is published, others will definitely believe it, and your mother will not be able to prove her innocence. ”
"You assassins here in Europe, are you so wild in taking on work?" Lin Shuo couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "Can you still touch porcelain and buy and sell?"
"Well, who's to say it's not. Gawain said helplessly, "This is their layout, and the line is buried in advance, just to manipulate the political situation in Northern Europe."
Now the Nordic royal family is your mother, Princess Dilan, you are still married, although you are still the heir to the throne, but we all understand that in fact you are no longer suitable to be the Nordic queen.
And once your mother's assassination of your cousin to seize the throne is exposed, the throne will definitely not be kept.
You can't inherit the throne, princess, so according to the royal lineage, the new king will have to go to England to find it.
There is an earl in Derbyshire, England, who is a distant relative of your family, and the two sides are going up to nine generations, and they are the same father.
And behind this Count is the Holy See of Europe.
So once your mother abdicates, it is equivalent to a direct betrayal of the country.
However, if you do not abdicate, you must compromise and make concessions if you hold the handle to the death of others, which is an indirect traitor.
What a dilemma, so in the last year, the queen has been tossed miserably.
Princess, with all due respect, your mother was not trained as an heir when she was in the back of the throne, and she only got to this position when she was put on the shelves, she was not a political strongman mentally, how could she withstand this kind of psychological torture?
So in just one year, people who are more than ten years younger than me are looking older than me. ”
Lin Shuo nodded, thinking that this was the case, and then said, "I have two questions. ”
"Mr. Lin, please speak. ”
"Who the hell are they and what are they trying to do?"
"They are the Holy See of Europe. "They want to integrate Europe into a theocratic state." ”
Lin Shuo couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this:
"Reunification, this is quite idealistic, and from a European point of view, it does meet the needs of the current international situation, I can understand it.
However, the unity of church and state is a reversal of history.
The Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution in Europe were once the hope of the whole world.
If they do it now, it will all be in vain, and Europe will be back to the Dark Middle Ages. ”
"Who's to say no, but with the position of their Holy See, there can only be such a lofty goal. Gawain said, "In short, we in Northern Europe and them, that way is different. ”
"Why didn't the European Holy See do this sooner or later, at this time?" asked Dylan.
"Two reasons. Gawain said, "One is forced by the situation, and the other is that the conditions are there."
The situation, that is, the current decline of Europe's status in the world, must be dependent on the United States, and everyone is unwilling, this is the external situation.
Within their Holy See, scientific thought has now been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and although the new generation of Europeans also believe in religion, most of them only need a spiritual home.
There are fewer and fewer believers, and the faith is becoming more and more shaken, which makes the political influence of the Holy See on the whole of Europe gradually decline, and the internal is also being eaten away by the secular capital forces.
conditions, there are two.
One is a strange creature.
In the last twenty years, strange beings have begun to spiral out of control around the world, and the Holy See is one of the groups of practitioners who are fighting against strange beings.
At the same time, the secular countries of Europe are also under the pressure of the proliferation of strange creatures, nuclear bombs dare not be used, and conventional forces are ineffective.
The prestige of the Holy See, which is now at its highest level in Europe in the last 500 years, is an opportunity.
In addition, the results of scientific research on strange creatures carried out by the International Biological Research Association in the past ten years will be a lever to leverage the future pattern of the human world.
At present, the International Biological Research Association, the Holy See has actually completed control, and they already have this chip in their hands.
In the end, our Nordic royal family is scarce, and they happened to have buried the line before, and now when they mention the thread, they can find a breakthrough. ”
"Then why did they force my mother to lure Lin Shuo to Northern Europe at this time?" said Dylan, "What do they want to do against Lin Shuo?"
"Well, they didn't force this. Gawain paused, as if he was a little embarrassed, "It was I who suggested to the queen that President Lin be called here." ”
"What?" Dylan couldn't sit still when he heard this, and shouted, "Gawain, you are so bold!"
"Princess, don't get excited. Gawain said, "Now that the Nordic mess is going on, the queen has been forced to do nothing, and the prince has always been fine."
My superficial cultivation, even if I fight this old life, it will not help.
Now that the entire royal family is looking around, what you can count on is that you can marry this uncle.
The two of you are also fast, and the children have been born, a good thing, isn't there an heir to the throne?
So pull you and Mr. Lin over, and announce the marriage news to the outside world, ordinary people only know that this is a teacher, but the Holy See knows that this is called strong reinforcement from outside.
Then hurry up and set up a duchess for your two children, and the heirs will be ranked in order, which is called having an heir.
After these two things are done, we will stand both inside and outside, so that we can fight with them. ”
"No wonder it's so awkward to have two things together. Lin Shuo couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and said, "It turned out to be a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and you Gao Wen really looks up to me." ”
Gao Wen smiled: "Mr. Lin, don't mind too much.
As soon as you come to this matter, it seems to me that most of it will be solved.
No matter how arrogant the European Holy See is, it will not dare to really attack you, the head of the hunting gate, right?
Otherwise, if the two largest cultivation groups in Europe and Asia go to war, they will definitely lose both.
That assassination last night, according to Erwin drunk, is to scare and scare you.
The paladin also said that as long as you scare you, the Holy See will find someone to negotiate with you.
When the time comes, you remember, you are our Nordic uncle, and you will pull us at the negotiating table to make the Queen's life better. ”
"Negotiation is their idea, not necessarily mine. Lin Shuo said lightly.
"Boss Lin, what do you want to do?" Gao Wen suddenly became alert, "You don't really want to start a war with them, do you?"
Lin Shuo ignored Gao Wen's question, but said, "It's not too early, you can go back first." ”
"It's not ......," Gawain wanted to say.
But I heard Di Lan say coldly: "Didn't you hear my husband's words?"
"Hey!" Gawain quickly stood up, "I'll go." ”
......
