Chapter 619: Sealed Memories
After hearing what Diana said, Zuo De was stunned on the spot, he never thought that the important information he was proud of was just an outdated piece of discarded information in President Diana.
Looking at Lady Diana's breezy look, he even wondered if the Elder had been investigating that damn little ogre bastard for a long time. Compared with him, the Black City Chamber of Commerce, which is now famous and has one of the most influential pan-continents, was actually created by that little bastard who is neither male nor female, with an embarrassing identity and a humble bloodline, this kind of unbelievable thing is not so surprising to him.
Although the president seemed to know everything well, Zuo De still mustered up the courage to continue the idea he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Elder, since the relationship between that Dirty Blood Bastard and the Black City Chamber of Commerce has been determined from you, can we start from this aspect, use our strength to find a way to make them kill each other, and we will be the last hunters to close the net......?"
"Zuode, I've always been optimistic about you before, and your previous performance is also satisfactory to me. But since this dragon slaying feast, you've started to disappoint me. I hope you don't let your evaluation in my heart continue to be lowered. ”
"Subordinate...... Can't. ”
Just one or two sentences made the commander-in-chief of the imperial army break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed back, not even daring to ask why he was scolded. Fortunately, Diana continued: "I wouldn't be so angry if you were just thinking about the organization and making serious suggestions, but Zode, you obviously didn't suggest that we target that little ogre out of the interests of the Skull and Bones Society, right? A failure is nothing, but if you can't come out of the shadow of failure, then you're done with it." Zode, you're too obsessed with dealing with Golia Huwen. ”
Zuode's head was almost down to the top of his feet, and he dared to speak.
"It is true that the kid of the Huwen family ruined the dragon slaying feast this time, and we skeletons will suffer heavy losses, but it is not the turn of the immediate task to make him pay for it. The Secret of Dragon Slayer, and the thing we've been looking for, these two god destroyers are more important than anything else. Since Golia Huwen took the initiative to give up "The Secret of Dragon Slayer", it is obvious that he does not want to be involved himself, and it does not make much sense to force him back, after all, the question of the ownership of the secret of Dragon Slaying is no longer something that he, the original owner, can say. And that kid was able to defeat Zuo De, which means that the power he has is not to be underestimated. If we start an all-out war with the Huwen family now, it will only distract us and backfire. Don't forget, our competitors, but the top powerhouses and most powerful forces in the pan-continent, including Emperor Durotar, the Desert King, and the envoys and spies of various countries, have no spare strength to deal with irrelevant people."
Although the vast majority of people at the meeting were so frightened by the female president that they didn't dare to say anything, there were still some people who were not overshadowed by fear and knew how to make some appropriate remarks at the right time.
"Elder, the Huwen family has given up the secret of dragon slaying so happily, so do they have any other important things to do. ”
The person who spoke was Churchill, the new prime minister of the empire, who had not been a member of the Skull and Bones Society for a long time, but because of the appreciation of Ms. Diana, in just a few years, he naturally climbed to the highest position of the imperial minister. The Emperor did little to no longer interfere with this, which shows how much influence the skeleton has in the Empire when it is in real shape.
Sure enough, Diana did not express boredom or anger at Churchill's question, she replied with a light smile: "Do you still need to guess this question, although the hard power of the Huwen family has increased a lot because of the return of Golia, a little freak, but this is still not enough to reverse their fate of being wiped out, after all, the Huwen family has offended too many people over the years, and the wealth they have accumulated is so tempting, there are countless people who are drooling at them." And the way to reverse their fate is nothing more than to rescue Count Amanda and find a way to let him regain his former status and grace. They arranged for the little ghost to enter the palace, not to use the child's body to rekindle Durotar's 'interest' in Huwen. ”
"But Amanda...... Isn't he the one we have to get rid of?, after all, because of him, we of the Skull and Bones Society have suffered a lot of losses over the years, and many of our members have been killed by His Majesty Durothal for his sake. ”
After some hesitation, Churchill spoke. Although Lady Diana had made it clear that she had no interest in dealing with Golia Huwen for the time being, Churchill was confident that he was not acting out of personal grudges, and that he should not provoke the anger of the elders.
Once again, he was right. Ms. Diana's eyelids were almost closed, but she still lazily explained: "Amanda is dead this time, no matter what method the Huwen family uses, it is useless to do no matter how much struggle they do." Although I have been unable to study the mind and logic of our majesty for more than ten years, I have never been able to figure out what he wants to do. But at least in this case, I don't think there will be any surprises. Unless......" At this point, Diana suddenly opened her half-closed eyes, and there was a hint of confusion and worry in her eyes.
"Unless what?"
Everyone was waiting for the next step of the elder, and when they went to see her, they waved their hands and said: "Forget it, in short, we don't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the Huwen family for the time being, even if there is a miracle, it is nothing if Amanda's slut is rescued by them, as long as we can really master those two god destroying tools, no, even if we only have one of them, let alone the insignificant Huwen family, even this entire continent, it also depends on the face of our Skull and Bones Society." ”
Ge Long didn't know that because he took the initiative to throw out the secret of dragon slaying, the strategic purpose of attracting the attention of his opponent was almost perfectly achieved, but according to the little intelligence network re-established by the Huwen family, he could also know that the many forces that were now entangled in the imperial capital of Montenegro would invest all their energy and resources in this auction held by the Black City Chamber of Commerce at this time.
was disturbed by himself in this unprecedented dragon slaying feast that is enough to go down in history, and it stands to reason that Zuode's guy should hate the little ogre to death.
Although the army of the Duchy of Cool Bear is overwhelmed, the punk-style steam machine army created by Vegapunk Black Wine Barrel is now almost invincible, and the Imperial Legion, which is superior in numbers but is severely undertrained and poorly equipped, is all kinds of messy in the wind.
Although Zuode theoretically has the right to mobilize any unit except the Imperial Guard and the Dragoon Regiment, but in this form, even if he wants to transfer some manpower to do some "private work" for himself, he will not be able to pass the level of front-line generals who ask for reinforcements all day long and ask for additional troops from the empire.
All in all, Golon's side has been on guard against the possible movements of General Zuode all day long, and as a result, I don't know whether to be happy or relieved, and the general's side has not made the slightest movement, as if all the hatred generated at the "Dragon Slaying Feast" has been exposed.
It was also at this time that Goron finally entered the forbidden place that was second only to the palace under the arrangement of the Warden of the Imperial Black Mountain Royal Prison, Marquis Brahadley.
This is not a legal visit.
Of course, the time was in the dead of night, according to the instructions of the warden, Goron and Michel wore heavy and heavy black cloaks, and after entering the prison, they shuttled on a quiet road, avoiding almost all the guards along the way, and occasionally bumped into one or two teams of patrols, and the other party would turn their heads unnaturally, as if they did not see two extremely suspicious black-robed people in front of them.
"The warden, the Marquis of Brahadley, was known for his philanthropy, his value for the talents of the common people, and his unequal treatment of all people. Not only does it have a very high reputation and prestige among the people, but it has always maintained neutrality in the imperial political arena, resolutely not standing on the side of any crown prince, and deliberately keeping a distance from the factional forces above the court. In addition, the Brahadley family has been in charge of the Montenegrin Royal Prison for decades, and there has never been any chaos during this time. Everyone was very sure of the Marquis's ability to work, and his position was unshakable. It can be said that no one wants to offend him, after all, no one can guarantee that they or their relatives and friends will never live in this place. ”
As she walked, Michelle introduced Goron to the warden they were about to meet. In addition to letting Goron know something about the other party, he also wanted to hint to the little ogre that some methods did not work for the warden.
From her tone, you could feel that this aunt had no hostility towards the marquis, and even spoke with great respect.
"Marquis Brahadley......" Goron always felt that this name did not seem to be unfamiliar, he must have heard it somewhere before. No, not only the name, but even this prison, this cold building, that desperate black wall, there was a familiar, extremely uncomfortable feeling in his mind.
In a place where it was almost impossible to distinguish whether it was a prison cell or a guard's lounge, Goron finally met the Marquis of Michelle's mouth, the warden Brahadley, who was highly praised by the whole empire......
"Survey Corps...... Centennia Orphanage...... Gorgeous aristocratic carriage ...... Rena Catherine...... And also...... Her sister ...... Wendy Catherine ......"
