Volume 3 Different Paths Chapter 138: The Devil's Road (15)
Midnight, Sylfa's house.
Nogel led the family to make Noel's attic inside and out, and he himself went into battle himself, leading a team of good men to patrol Silfa's house repeatedly.
A black shadow flew past Nogel's eyes with a "whoosh".
"Chase!" Nogel shouted.
After the others had left, Cole quietly stepped out from under a tree and climbed up to Noelle's attic.
Cole looked at the familiar window lattice, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He used to be a regular visitor to this special passage, but now only two years have passed, and he is no longer a person.
He cautiously pushed open the window and took advantage of the moonlight to enter through the window.
Noelle slept soundly, the bright silver moon reflected in front of her bed, her long black hair flowing to the ground, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was dreaming something.
With a smile in his eyes, Cole walked over softly and tucked the corners of the quilt for him.
This extremely gentle movement woke up the girl in the bed.
"Who are you?" Noelle sat up suddenly, looking at Cole with a horrified expression.
Cole was stunned for a moment, and said softly:
"I'm Cole, what's the matter, I'm dazed?"
"How did you get in? ...... Stay away from me!" Noelle panicked, grabbing a knife from the bedside and pointing it at Cole.
"No, put the knife down!" Cole panicked.
"Stay away from me!" Noelle was terrified as Cole took a few steps forward.
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Cole reluctantly took a few steps back, saying that he would not hurt her.
"You go!"
Cole looked at the frightened little girl, and smiled sadly:
"Okay, I'm leaving, you...... Take care. ”
Cole climbed out of the window and landed on the ground.
"She's ...... You really forgot about me......"
Cole looked up at the sky, trying not to let his tears fall.
"Well, a monster like me, who doesn't even know what he is, has the qualifications to promise a future. It's better to forget about this bad fate. Cole laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Who!" shouted someone in the darkness.
Cole was about to leave, but stopped when he saw the comer:
"Who should I be? It's you, disgusting ...... Demon Seed. ”
Roger wanted to make a move, but when he heard Cole's words, he froze in place like five thunderbolts.
"Surprised?" Cole snorted disdainfully, "You were the demon that attacked me outside Tarot City that day, right?"
The biggest secret in his heart was ruthlessly revealed, and Roger didn't know what to say for a while. Just standing there straight.
"As early as Tarot City, I found out that you have the blood of the Red Clan, but I didn't think about it that deeply. Thanks to your team-up with Nogel, I became aware of the suspicion of your identity. You saved me in Tarot City, I'm afraid it's because of the meaning of the Demon Alliance, right?" Cole's seemingly casual words were like a sharp dagger, easily digging out the secret that Roger was keeping. "If you still want to hang out at Sylfa's house, remember, stay away from Noelle!"
With that, Cole jumped onto the wall and left.
Still in great shock, Roger walked out from behind the tree alone.
Nogel!
Nogel gave Roger a cold look, then turned and walked towards the attic.
At that moment, Roger's heart shattered.
He knew that Nogel would never let his sister marry a lowly demon seed. In three minutes at most, Nogel will completely cut off all possibilities between him and Noelle!
Countless thoughts flashed through Roger's mind. Eventually, he looked up, and his eyes were red!
The only ones who can keep secrets secret are the dead.
The next day, the Royal Palace.
At the cabinet meeting, Cole and other ministers were on either side. But among the few people who usually sit at the front, there is a vacant seat.
Welsh sat on the throne and was deeply unhappy with Neugel's absence. He was about to send someone to Silfa's house to hold him accountable, when the guards outside the palace gate ran over:
"Your Majesty, Noelle Syllfa asks to see you. ”
Before Wales could reply, Noelle had already rushed past the guards, and knelt on the ground despite the strange eyes of the ministers, and wept profusely:
"Please let Your Majesty call the shots, avenge Nogel, and arrest the murderer!"
The whole hall was in an uproar.
"Silence!" said Wales, looking ugly, "you tell me first, what happened?"
"My brother Nogel was assassinated last night and was seriously wounded, and he hasn't woken up yet!" Noelle's voice was hoarse.
The ministers looked at each other, counting Nolan, this is already the second high-ranking official of the Silfa family to be assassinated. The previous murderer has not been heard from so far, and now another has been added.
"My brother is still unconscious and cannot be identified, but I know who the murderer is!" Noelle cried out, "please allow the witnesses to meet Your Majesty!"
Arthur had been feeling bad since Noel came in, and he glanced at Cole cautiously, looking uneasy.
Wales didn't want the cabinet to become a court, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer was assassinated one after another, and if he didn't get to the bottom of the matter, he was afraid that everyone under him would be in danger. He was patient, waved his hand, and said:
"Let them in!"
Cole watched the situation closely. He has the bottom in his heart, and the next evidence will point to him. So when he saw the witnesses, he wasn't too surprised.
"Roger (Alyssa) has seen His Majesty. ”
Roger and a maid walked in.
"Roger, that's an interesting name?" Welsh glanced at Cole, "what did you see last night, tell me?"
The two looked at each other and said in unison:
"Last night, the head of the Royal Knights visited Silfa's house at night, trying to kill Lord Nogel!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone exploded.
"Bold! The Emperor is here, and you dare to spread rumors out of thin air?" Arthur shouted.
"Why are you nervous, it is not known whether it is a rumor. Carol sneered.
"Captain Roger, how do you explain?" said Wales, frowning.
"I'd like to ask these two people a few words individually, okay?" Cole said unhurriedly, standing up.
"Go ahead. Wales waved his hand.
Cole sealed the maid's ears with his magic, turned to Roger, and asked:
"I ask you, what was I doing when you saw me last night?"
"I saw you raise your sword and slay Noble!" Roger looked directly at Cole.
"So, in other words, I didn't communicate with you?"
“......”
"Speak quickly!"
“...... No. ”
"Okay, that's it. Cole turned, unenchanting the maid.
Roger had a vague sense that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
"What was I doing when you saw me last night?"
"I didn't see you, I heard you talking to Roger, and then ...... You're going to do it to Lord Nogel outside Miss Noelle's attic!"
The ministers looked at each other.
Cole turned:
"Your Majesty, I don't think I need to say anything more about this situation. ”
"Damn!" Roger was shocked, "I ......"
"Needless to say, let's go home. You must not ask about the arrest of the murderer. Wales gave Roger and Noelle a faint look.
Cole sat back down, his face unchanged. It is actually very dangerous to use magic to interfere with their thinking in public, after all, no one is blind, and the traces of spiritual magic are still very obvious. However, Roger is different, to control this kind of mixed-blood demon species, the high-level Red Clan has a more efficient and difficult way to find.
"Maiestatis ......" "Your Majesty...... "Noelle wants to say something.
"Father. Zola suddenly jumped out, "Nogel is seriously injured and in a coma, there are no more men in Sylfa's family, Noelle is not suitable to succeed to the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer, please father re-elect Chancellor of the Exchequer on a later date!"
Cole and Arthur were both shocked. Carol is not only trying to get rid of his relationship with this matter, but also to fall into the well and take the power of the Silfa family!
"You!" Noelle was so angry that she couldn't even speak.
Cole couldn't help but want to defend Noelle, but Arthur stopped him with a look. "Let's talk about it later, there are many more important things than this. ”
......
Night.
Cole, who was not worried about Noelle, came to Silfa's house again in disguise.
He walked around the outside of Silfa's house a few times, but he still didn't make this step.
"Alas......" Cole let out a long breath and was about to go home, but suddenly stopped.
"Who!"
Dozens of dark shadows appeared around Silfa's house.
"We are acting as ordered, and no one should retreat as soon as possible!"
"Carroll's people?"
"It's not about you!"
“...... Heh, Move Noelle, has nothing to do with me?"
In an instant, the shadow of the sword and sword overwhelmed Cole.
Inside Silfa's house.
Noelle looked out of the house worriedly:
"Are you alright?"
"It has nothing to do with us. After Roger asked the next person, he immediately understood.
"Oh...... Do you say, will my brother wake up?" said Noelle, with a sad face.
"Definitely. He's going to wake up. Roger took her hand.
“...... Thank you. ”
"Fool, say thank you to me. Roger petted her head dotingly.
Noelle blushed unconsciously:
"We ...... Is that the kind of relationship?"
"What kind of relationship?" said Roger.
"That's it...... Oh, I won't tell you!" Noelle blushed and was about to leave.
"Alright!" Roger smiled as he took her into his arms.
The stars are shining, and a pair of lovers are hugging each other face to face, immersed in sweetness and unable to extricate themselves.
"Shhh
Cole slashed the man in black with a sword and glanced back at the Sylpha family's towering house.
"These guys must not be allowed to hurt Noelle!" he gritted his teeth and rushed into the crowd with even more ferocity.
Outside the house, the boy and the assassins fought to the death, just to get the girl a night of peace;
In the house, the girl fell happily in the arms of another man, looking up at the starry sky, her ears and temples grinding.
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is winter. This year is the 60th birthday of Wales, and as the king of a country, it is natural that the birthday should be celebrated by the whole country. In the past few months, there has been an endless stream of convoys of tribute, which can keep Ke Er, who is in charge of the defense of the capital, busy.
On this day, Cole was checking the gates as usual, and there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
Cole walked over to check on the situation, not wanting to run into an acquaintance.
Carrett and a good hat-wearing hat are arguing with the sentry over something. When the sentry saw Cole, he hurriedly saluted:
"I've seen the regimental leader!"
"What's going on here?"
Cole didn't change his voice, and Carrett looked at him in amazement.
"These two won't take off their masks!"
“...... They're my friends, let them go. ”
The general had already spoken, and the sentry playfully opened the checkpoint and let the two into the city.
Carrett and the woman hurried away.
Day after day, Wales' birthday finally arrived. Cole had completed all the investigations that day and was heading to the main hall.
Shoudian people are full of mouths, and it is inevitable that there will be some gossip. As a member of the Red tribe, Cole's hearing is far beyond that of ordinary people. Inadvertently, I heard a lot of palace secrets. Colburn didn't want to pay attention, but the whispering of the two maids made him stop.
"What do you mean? You don't want to say that Prince Zola is not His Majesty's own flesh and blood?"
"Be quiet! I also heard from others, Prince Zola's mother was pregnant long before marriage!"
"And how did he know?"
"You don't know yet, do you?" Prince Carrett suddenly appeared to take away the sixth prince, and the whole palace was turned upside down!"
The two maids talked as they walked, and gradually Cole could not hear what they were saying. However, in just a few sentences, the amount of information is huge enough.
"Isn't Zola the king's son?" Cole's eyes widened, "and his father is ...... Prince Carret?"
Cole hurried up, and sure enough, he saw a family ethics drama in the main hall.
"It's not true, it's not true!" the temple was filled with Zola's screams.
Wales looked at Carret, who was surrounded by the forbidden army, with a cold face, and did not say a word.
Carret, on the other hand, stood at a loss, not knowing how to face his long-lost son.
"Father, it's not true, it must not be true!" Zola stumbled to Wales, tugging at his robe, his face blank.
Wales didn't even look at him, and pulled the corners of his clothes indifferently.
Zola froze. He slumped down on him like a soulless puppet.
"Someone, take him down!" Welsh waved his hand, and several soldiers rushed up and set up Zola.
"You dare!"
Carret, who had been silent, suddenly broke out, forced the forbidden army back with his strong strength, and rushed up!
But the Janissaries were not vegetarians, and nearly a thousand soldiers quickly surrounded Carret.
"No mercy!"
Cole secretly shouted that it was not good, there were all good players here, and it was extremely difficult for Carret, no matter how strong Carret's strength was, it would be extremely difficult to break through from it, let alone save Zola.
Just as Cole was thinking about whether to make a secret obstruction, a shadow fell from the sky.
"Lisna?" Welsh startled, "stop it!"
Divided by the shouts of Wales, who had been attacking Wales in unison, Carret took the opportunity to break through and take Zola with him.
"Wind without frost?" Cole almost exclaimed in surprise after seeing Lilith's true face.
All the mysteries are solved at this moment.
Two days later.
Cole, who was punished for dereliction of duty, yawned idly in his mansion. Fortunately, Caret made a fuss, and Wales had no time to hold her responsible. Instead, it gave Cole a leisurely vacation.
However, Arthur broke in at this time.
"Why are you still here, the king has ordered you to go on the march!"
"What?"
"Zola is reversed!"
Counting nine cold winters, heavy snow fell, and killing together, slowly kicked off.
Cole stood on the podium, shining in a military uniform, quite a general's demeanor.
"General, the 400,000-strong army has been assembled, please instruct. A general walked over.
Cole's eyes flickered. He had been authorized to do so, and he had been granted limited military powers, and it stands to reason that he should be called a marshal. And although this person's tone was respectful, there was still a touch of arrogance between his eyebrows, obviously not taking him, a marshal who was not famous, very seriously.
Cole drew his sword:
"Let's go!"
Inside the Great Ledger of the March.
In front of his desk was a map of Longze, and he was carefully observing the geographical location of Stenway and choosing a suitable route for the march.
Under the seat, the nine generals were divided into two teams and stood facing each other, and like the generals who had made a report that day, there was no respect on their faces, and one of them yawned impatiently. In their eyes, a hairy boy who came to the barracks for the first time didn't know the cruelty of war, and he had to rely on veterans like them to turn the tide when the time came.
However, they didn't know that Kele was born in a general's family, learned martial arts at the age of 5, joined the army at the age of 8, and followed his uncle to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and Cole's outstanding military talents once aroused the jealousy of Wales and became the catalyst for the destruction of the Field family.
