Chapter 537: Scandal
The sky was full of dark clouds, and even at noon, few rays of sunlight could penetrate the layers of clouds and shine on the thousand-year-old capital of Montenegro.
The golden autumn, in the field of Montenegro, seems to have entered the cold winter in advance......
Montenegro is destined for an eventful time.
In the north of the empire, the civil war sparked by the rebellion of the Duchy of Cool Bear is still scorching;
The two pillars of the imperial military, the Dragoon Retusus family and the general Zode family, were involved at the same time, and the kidnapping case of the general's daughter, which shocked the entire continent, is still unsolved;
The Heicheng Chamber of Commerce, which has become the number one arms trader on the mainland and sells arms to the mainland countries and even the warring sides at the same time, will hold the largest arms commodity fair in Montenegro.
The number one beauty in the mainland, Count Amanda, who was once in power and was the "secret" lover of His Majesty the Emperor Durontar, will be publicly executed;
Finally, the wedding of Durontar the Great, who was called "Tyrant", "Emperor of Terror", and "Emperor of Absurdity", shocked the whole continent......
Picking out any of these major events, no matter which country or period it is placed in, can become annual news, which is enough to attract countless light and dark forces to participate in it and wrestle with each other.
If one or two happen at the same time, it may even become an important opportunity to shake the country and trigger a reshuffle of various forces. However, so many major events, like a deliberate joke made by the god of fate, are crowded in this golden October, crowded in the thousand-year-old capital of Montenegro, but it makes people feel a sick sense of paralysis, and they have no feeling for this golden October that is enough to cause world turmoil.
Black Goat Tavern......
This is a century-old tavern located near the main city gate at the foot of the Black Mountain. The location of the Black Goat Tavern is not good, nor is it bad, in short, because it is close to the city gate, it has always been a place where mercenaries and merchants are mixed, and it has naturally become the best place to find out information. Of course, the accuracy of the intelligence cannot be guaranteed.
Although everyone knows that the more sensitive the time, the more likely it is to say that the truth is easy to come out of the mouth, but because of human nature, almost everyone wants to be able to share what they know and others may not know, and then get new information from others. So there are the following conversations that deliberately keep their voices low, but they still fall into the ears of those who have a heart......
"Hey, have you heard?The army of the Duchy of Cool Bear has once again beaten our soldiers to the ground, and this time I heard that even the Storm Knights led by Count Cory, the favorite general of General Zode, have participated in the battle, but the result is still a loss. ”
"What's strange about this, don't you know, the weapons used by the Cool Bear Principality are all designed by the dwarven alchemy master Vegapunk, and the machine monsters made by the arsenal of the Black City Chamber of Commerce, I heard that those things are like walking turrets, powered by coal and water, and their strength is greater than that of the strongest Earth Walking Dragon!
"What are you kidding, coal and water? Isn't that just boiling water? How can it be used in battle?"
"This, I don't know this, I heard what kind of steam engine it relies on, and the devil knows the tricks played by those magicians. ”
"Hey~~~!You said that our army is retreating, will one day, those mongrels with dwarven blood in the Cool Bear Principality will directly hit here?"
"How is that possible, have you forgotten that we still have the Dragoon Regiment, and the Dragoon Lord Rethusus is here?"
"Yes, as long as that adult is here, not to mention the dwarf mongrel of the Cool Bear Principality, the steam monster, even if the Golden Sun Dynasty and the Emiro Millennium Empire fight together, it will not be enough for that adult to fight. ”
"Uh-huh...... Are you really stupid or fake, Lord Rethusus is definitely no longer on this continent, in short, he is either dead or has run away to other planes...... Eighty percent are already dead. ”
"You fart! Lord Rethuseus is stronger than the fat girl in the desert, no one in this world can defeat him, not even the demons of the abyss of hell, how can he die?"
"Huh...... You are so unheard of, and you don't want to think about how he could have allowed General Zode to offer a bounty for his son's capture, and the prize was his wife's blood, if he were still alive. If I were that lord, I would definitely kill not a single person from the Mourinho family in Zode. ”
"Haha, I know you're going to say that, it seems that you don't know it yet, in fact, neither that woman nor that child is actually Rethus......"
"Shh~~~!Shut up!Don't say any more, you can say anything wrong with anyone in this country, but if you dare to say something unpleasant about that adult, if the dragon knights hear it, they will teach you how to control your mouth. ”
"That's it, I saw an earl two days ago, with his tongue tied to him, and I heard that it was because he said that the lord would only wear, well, hats of that color......"
"Shh......h That's the end of the conversation!"
“……”
The atmosphere became a little cold for a while, and everyone who was drinking and chatting couldn't help but shiver, as if those crazy dragon knights were hiding behind them with their ears pricked up and eavesdropping.
After a long while, everyone finally couldn't stand the atmosphere of stuffy drinking, so someone lowered his voice and said: "By the way, in a few days, it will be the day when Count Amanda will be beheaded, don't you want to go to the crossroads to see? ”
"You can only think about it, just I heard that some people are going to line up at the intersection two days in advance, and it is said that Earl Amanda's body will be auctioned off as a handicraft, and his head alone may be sold for a sky-high price. ”
"Hmph, it's like you've seen Count Amanda with your own eyes. But speaking of which, our Emperor Majesty is really cold-blooded, just about to marry a new wife, about to send his old lover to the guillotine, is it to show his new lover that he will not come out again?"
Speaking of the "Emperor of Fear" Durotal, these drinkers who live at the bottom are not as afraid as they are when it comes to the dragoon Rethuss, but this is not surprising, after all, the famous reputation of the "Emperor of Fear" is almost all based on the heads of countless nobles, and Emperor Durontar seems to be only interested in slaughtering nobles, but not much interest in these low-level people, and he has never been afraid of the world talking about himself.
With playful expressions on their faces, they exchanged lace news about the "Emperor of Fear" Durotar, from his forcible seizure of his father's widow as his wife, to his affair with Count Amanda, as if the topic of this "tyrant" that everyone was not afraid of could never finish.
In the most remote corner of the Black Goat Tavern, a petite figure in a black robe drank the last sip of the wine in a large wooden cup, then stood up and walked out of the bar.
