Volume 3 Different Paths to the Same End Chapter 141 The Devil's Road (18)
As soon as Cole returned home, several family members hurriedly ran over: "General, Lieutenant Retao was attacked yesterday and was seriously injured!"
Cole's head "buzzed".
The family only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and Cole was gone.
In the room, Litao lay quietly on the bed. On his chest, the traces of magic on his chest were clearly visible.
"Shadow Magic......" Cole stood in front of the bed, his teeth clenched.
Arthur strode into the main hall.
"What are you looking for me for?"
"I'll show you someone. ”
Cole didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly to the wing.
Arthur, though a little strange, followed. But when he saw the person lying on the bed in the side room, his pupils suddenly contracted!
"I ask you, is Retao's shadow magic the secret of your royal family?" Cole said suddenly.
"Listen to me, I'll ......," Arthur hurriedly explained.
"Answer me!"
“...... Be. ”
"Then did you stay in my house all night last night?"
“...... Be. ”
"When you returned home today, did you have a sword wound?"
“......”
"Alright, you can go. Cole said expressionlessly.
"Listen to me......" Arthur wanted to explain something.
"That's enough!" Cole tried to suppress the anger in his chest, "I'm not Nogel, and I wouldn't make such a decision about a person so easily. So even now that all the evidence points to you, I'm still inclined to think that you have nothing to do with it. But please also ask Your Highness Haihan, until the truth comes out, I can't stand calmly with His Highness for the time being. If it is found that the real murderer has nothing to do with His Highness, I will come to the door to apologize to His Highness. ”
"I can understand that. Arthur smiled bitterly, "I came today to tell your father that the Emperor had made you Duke of Cairn, belonging to the state of Stanway, and would take office tomorrow." But now......" Arthur looked at the silent Cole, "I think you need to be alone for a while now." ”
After Arthur left, Cole suddenly ripped off his mask and smashed it with one palm!
In the dust of the room, Cole clutched his chest and slumped to the ground.
Pain from the depths of his veins was spreading through the bones of his limbs. Along with it, there are also those dusty memories that have been sealed for thousands of years.
The next day, on the carriage to Stanway.
"Duke of Kane, Stanway...... It's a good idea. Cole sat in the car, squinting and sneering.
There are few major generals in Stanway, and he has just experienced a big war, and even if Cole is really afraid of it, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although Stanway is a poor and remote country, it is good that the bad people have put a prince's hat on Cole's head, and it can still be said that Wales will be rewarded for his merits, and by the way, he will be transferred back from Stamway.
But speaking of which, Cole also has a relationship with Stanway, and he went around and returned to this place. Gangs are rampant here, and the people have been oppressed by the government and gangsters for many years, and they have long been overwhelmed, and almost all of the large-scale riots in Longze in the past 20 years have been in Stanway. If given the opportunity, Cole would be willing to do something for the people of Stanway.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but urge the groom. Letao had been sent to Stanway for treatment in advance, and although he was under the banner of Duke Kane, he was still not very worried about the security of Stanway.
Even with Cole's knowledge, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the rows of gangsters outside Xinglong City welcoming them and the towering palaces in the city. This level of grandeur is nothing more than that of Wales in person.
"Contemptible Tucci, greetings to Duke Kane!" a majestic baritone voice sounded outside the car.
Tucci, the boss of the Stanway mob, is the president of the Underworld Society. The Sain Society, the gang to which it belongs, was once the largest gang in the world, and at its peak it was on an equal footing with the leaders of the three major sects. Because of its fat head and big ears, the people in the rivers and lakes are called "Tuqi", and the scenery is unlimited for a while. However, in recent years, the Canglong Gang has been attacked by the five countries, and its strength has dropped significantly, and Tucci can only shrink in Stanway and dare not come out. Even so, in Stanway, Tucci's name is definitely better than that of the governor of Stanway. The last Governor of Stamwey was slaughtered by the Cyan Order three years ago because of a feud with Tucci, and no one has dared to take over the Governor of Stamwey since.
Cole slowly stepped out of the carriage, his coercion increasing with each step. To deal with these murderous guys, it is absolutely impossible to deter without strength.
Tucci didn't show it in his heart, but said happily:
"I heard that Duke Kane is extremely powerful, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary. You have been waiting for Your Highness for a long time, so please come with me, Your Highness. ”
Although Tucci's words were quite polite, he did not leave half room for Cole to refuse. Cole reluctantly followed, while also raising his vigilance.
In the hall, four big men stood up from their seats,
One Together:
"I've seen Duke Kane!"
"You think too highly of me to be under me. Cole didn't smile. The coercion on his body has also continued to be released, causing everyone to change slightly.
"Duke Kane, the contemptible people have specially prepared some local specialties, I wonder if the prince can laugh at it?" Tucci stepped forward, counteracting most of Cole's coercion, and said with a smile.
As soon as Tucci's words fell, several of his subordinates brought over four or five boxes of "souvenirs".
Cole glanced at the gold and silver in the box, then at the faces of Tucci and the people behind him, and wisely chose to accept these "specialties".
Seeing that Cole accepted the gift money, Tucci's eyes narrowed into a slit:
"Duke Kane doesn't have to be polite, take your seat quickly. ”
Cole couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it.
I have to say that Tucci will really enjoy it, and this kind of banquet can be called luxurious even in the capital. However, everyone at the table had evil intentions, and they were busy testing each other and making false promises, even if there were countless delicacies, they couldn't swallow them.
The absent-minded crowd soon took their leave, but Tucci held his breath and waited until the crowd had dispersed before leaving.
"President Tucci is slow!" Cole called out to him, "There is still something I want to discuss with the President, I wonder if the President would like to go down to the main hall to talk about it?"
Tucci was stunned for a moment, a little wary in his little rice-like eyes embedded in the fat;
"The Duke is here, but there are still some matters to be dealt with in the Sean Society, if not for the important things......"
"Don't dare to bother the president for too long, it's just half a pillar of incense. Cole stood up and made a "please" gesture.
Tucci had no choice but to walk towards the main hall. Kohl Steinway became famous in the first war of counterinsurgency, and Tucci was also deeply jealous of him, otherwise how could Cole be treated so courteally? You know, as an underworld Wales, the previous governor of Stenway had never even seen Tucci's face when he took office.
Tucci arrived in the main hall first, and after a slight pause, he found the closest place to the door and nestled in. He's a little too big.
Cole sat at the top:
"I'm not going to beat around the bush with the president, and I'll tell you the truth, I've been in Stanway for a while, and I know a little bit about the situation here. Although the Governor's Thein Society is well-known all over the world, there are still many gangs in Stanway State who are openly and secretly working against the President, right?"
"The Duke means ......"
"I wonder if Mr. President has ever thought that in this Stanway State and even in the world, all gangsters are respected by the Canglong Gang and listen to your orders?"
Tucci's eyes flickered, and he said slowly:
"The Duke has a good intention. But there is self-knowledge below, and the Sain Society is no longer than it was back then, although Zai Xia also wants to make a comeback, but the price of doing so is something that Sain will not afford. Even if he wins by luck, the Sain Club will be hit hard, and he is afraid that he will let others pick up a big bargain in vain. ”
Listening to Tucci's seemingly point-inducing words, Cole was not annoyed, but shook his head with some regret.
"I was entangled in mundane affairs and lost my company. ”
Tucci pulled his round body out of his chair and paced slowly.
The Far North.
The word "Moho" is a transliteration of "cold ice" in Longze ancient in the era when the five Chinese languages were not yet unified. And the city of Auckland, the capital of the Moho Empire, is known as the "Ice and Snow Capital". Never since records began, the snow and ice in Auckland have melted completely.
Among the snow-capped rooftops of Auckland City, apart from the Royal Palace, the North Hades Mansion is the most conspicuous. As one of the four royal families, the Northern Hades Mansion has always demonstrated the great glory of its 500-year-old supreme ministers.
However, at this time, a fierce quarrel was in full swing in this luxurious mansion.
Yes, at this time, a fierce quarrel was in full swing in this luxurious mansion.
"That's enough!
"Traceless, I know it's hard for you to accept. Feng Wuyue let out a long sigh, (but this is your best bet.) Moho women are inferior to men, even if we are the Feng family, we can't break the rules. In fact, this kind of ending is already very good, you know, your brother ......"
Feng Wuyue sighed faintly, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and left, leaving only Feng Wuyue alone.
After standing there for a moment, making sure that Feng Wuyue would not return suddenly, Feng Wuyue quietly walked into a dark room and took a jade bottle. The strong smell of blood spread immediately.
Sniper, an ancient beast, an overlord of ice. Its blood is blue in color and contains the energy of extreme yin, which is an extremely effective enhancer for ice mages. But this snipe is so weird, not to mention the great side effects, but also specializes in overcoming extremely cold physique. If the Extremely Cold Physique Magician rashly takes it without an antidote, he will definitely die within three days. Feng Wuxian didn't want to tear his face with the family, but now that things have developed to this point, he has nothing to keep.
Wind Traceless drank up the sniper's blood. He stared at the jade bottle in his hand for a long time, and suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed the jade bottle to pieces.
Following. The scene of the competition and recruitment.
The people of the Moho Empire were fierce, especially the women. During the war era, the female samurai legions of the Moho Empire used to be a nightmare for the men of Shikoku. Even in times of peace, the women of the Moho Empire still valued their muscles for beauty, and it was because of this that the power system of the Moho Lady was maintained. And the way the women of the Moho Empire recruit relatives is also a competition, and only the strongest men are worthy of being their spouses.
Among the aspiring players, one man stands out. I saw that his face was expressionless, neither happy nor sad. Just repeatedly rubbed the blade of the sword, and his gaze was calm. The surrounding contestants automatically got out of the way, forming a circle with a diameter of one meter centered on the man.
The jousting soon began. Leo glanced at his opponent, but was suddenly stunned.
