Chapter 59: Rebellion
When I returned to the kingdom of Adus.
Zhou Ming sat in the front cockpit of the "Hurricane No. 2".
Mr. Sayles sat in the middle.
To Zhou Ming's surprise, the warriors who decided to follow him, Fitz and Defoe, were allowed to sit in the last row by Teacher Sayles, not minding their identities.
Seeing Sayles' smiling face again, Zhou Ming asked him, "Teacher Sayles, did you experience anything happy after you sent Aliya home?"
"Nope. ”
Sayles smiled and shook his head: "Do you see the arrow holes in the plane? When I first flew near the World Tree to land, those unreasonable elves almost killed me when they saw me as a human. ”
"Oh, and how did you get out of danger?"
"Tika helped me out...... There were just two elves who knew Tika, and then I was guarded by some of them, and I didn't sleep well all night, and the elves who were guarding me were talking all the time, and I guess they must have been discussing how to kill me. ”
Sayles shrugged and said, this kind of experience is really not a good experience for a magic teacher like him.
"I'm sorry about that, Mr. Sayles, I frightened you, and next time something like this happens, I'll go myself. Zhou Ming said slightly apologetic.
"No, no, no, no fright, no fright!"
Sayles shook his head repeatedly: "If it weren't for this escort, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been promoted to the Great Magician." ”
Zhou Ming was taken aback and asked, "Teacher, have you been promoted to Great Magician?"
Sayles smiled sheepishly, "This is the Elven Queen's reward for me for helping to bring her daughter home...... The Elven Queen is very beautiful, and she unleashed a magic of knowledge that allowed me to easily break through the bottlenecks of the past and enter new realms. ”
"These rewards should have been yours of Leylin, but I got this cheap ...... teacher"
Sayles felt a little embarrassed, because he did not play a big role in rescuing the little elf princess, and he did not take much credit, but the reward fell on his head.
Zhou Ming smiled and said: "It's okay, the teacher's breakthrough is much more beneficial than my breakthrough, great magician, there are few in the Adude Kingdom, congratulations to the teacher." ”
"Hey, hey, hey~"
Sayles' smile was red.
"By the way, Leylin, I have something for you here. ”
Sayles suddenly remembered something, a white light flashed on his hand, and from the spatial ring, he took out a green glass bottle filled with liquid.
The glass bottle is about the size of a teacup, with a volume of about 100 ml, and the liquid inside is as thick as oil, with a silver starlight.
"This is the [Water of Life] given to me by the Elf Queen, which is produced from the Moon Well at the foot of the World Tree, and the effect is the same as the [Magic Spring Water], which can be drunk directly to improve one's magic power, or it can be mixed into a potion...... Here's this for you, Leylin. ”
Water of Life?
Zhou Ming's face was happy, this thing was much stronger than magic spring water, and it could prepare a variety of powerful potions.
For example, the [Mana Potion] based on the Water of Life can increase Mana by 100 points.
There is also a [Life Elixir], which has a life-prolonging effect, and it also needs to use the water of life.
"Thank you, Mr. Sayles. ”
Zhou Ming took the bottle of water of life and put it in his spatial ring.
……
Tempest-2 is fast.
It took less than twenty hours to enter the territory of the kingdom of Addudes.
Because of the heavy snowfall, the earth was covered in silver, and thousands of miles were white.
But under the precise navigation of the system, it took more than an hour for Zhou Ming to see the royal capital Diluo City below.
Then I was taken aback.
"What's going on?"
What did Zhou Ming see?
War.
Everywhere there is fire and smoke of war.
The entire royal capital, the city of Dilo, was shrouded in the flames of war.
At least more than 200,000 troops besieged the city of Dilo.
Attack day and night.
The defenders of Dilo were desperately resisting and defending to the death.
The shouts of both sides shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.
The offensive and defensive sides are in a stalemate.
……
in the sky.
The Hurricane 2, which was circling and flying, had already circled several times.
"When I left a few months ago, Dilo City was a bustling and peaceful city, but what is going on now? Am I in the wrong place?"
Zhou Ming muttered to himself, but the system map told him that he had never made a mistake.
"The two-faced lion, that's the family banner of Duke Harrow Paris, this guy has betrayed the king and rebelled!"
Sayles recognized the banner of the army outside the city, and immediately became extremely angry.
"Leylin, I'm going to go out and kill that guy from Harrow Paris! This bastard, the king uses the Paris family so much, he actually tries to betray him?"
Under the long-term influence of the old fox, Sayles also belonged to the "loyal royal party", he recognized the royal family's thousand-year rule over the kingdom, and believed that the royal family was the source of ensuring the stability of the kingdom, and that the stability of the royal family and royal power would keep the kingdom stable.
Now there are families who forget Wang En, plot wrong, and raise troops to rebel, which in the eyes of Sayles, belongs to "great rebellion" and must be severely punished!
"Don't worry, Mr. Sayles, let's go ahead and take further action. ”
"And we have a large amount of mana consumption now, and Duke Paris must have a master around him to protect him, so now is not the best time to make a move. ”
"Alright!" Sayles nodded.
……
Inside the city of Dilo.
The appearance of Tempest-2 caused a small riot.
But after an acquaintance recognized Zhou Ming's face, someone immediately entered the palace and reported the matter to King Jaime.
Inside the royal palace.
King James, who had always been sad in the past, jumped up happily at this moment.
"Our treasurer is back!"
"Great, great!"
"Call him in, let him into the palace!"
King Jaime said.
The nobles and ministers in the court also showed joy and praised them again and again.
Even they themselves feel weird, a young man under the age of 18 is back, why are they so excited?
What's more, this young man is only a magician who is not very strong, can his arrival have any effect on the current situation?
But I don't know what happened, after hearing that the boy had returned, these nobles and ministers behaved like King Jaime, and one by one seemed to have been injected with a shot in the arm.
Because the miracles that the kid has created are so many, so much that they have a little more blind confidence.
……
More than half an hour later.
Under the guidance of another team of guards, Zhou Ming took Teacher Sails and walked quickly into the palace and entered the palace chamber.
Participate in the Imperial Council.
As soon as I walked into the chamber.
Zhou Ming first glanced at the noble ministers and ministers.
The gaze swept over familiar and unfamiliar faces.
"Count Mirando is still there. ”
"The Earl of Ellington is still there. ”
"The Count of Nice is still there. ”
"Earl Keita......"
More than a dozen names were pronounced in a row.
When Zhou Ming swept the old face of Duke Rudolph, he was taken aback and said, "Huh~ Duke Rudolph, you are actually here, I thought you should be in Duke Paris's marching tent?"
"You bastard boy, I'll kill you!"
Duke Rudolph's old face turned red, he raised the cane in his hand, and called Zhou Ming.
"Just kidding, just kidding. ”
Zhou Ming dodged again and again, waving his hand to apologize.
The old Rudolph saw that he really couldn't hit him, so he could only gasp: "I'm angry! I'm angry!"
"Hahahaha~"
A burst of laughter rang out.
After this episode, the atmosphere in the council chamber suddenly became lively.
When he found out that Duke Moratt Hansen did not appear in the imperial meeting, but left a few of his comrades and did not take them away, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Duke Hansen, who occupies the most land, should have been a wall-to-wall grass, did not join the rebel camp, did not support the royal family, and chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
And Duke Rudolph's choice to stand on the side of the royal family is indeed a bit unexpected by Zhou Ming, because this old guy is not like a loyal lord, as long as he sees the benefits, this old guy moves faster than anyone else, and belongs to the category of people who put interests first.
He actually chose to side with the royal family this time.
After knowing the general situation.
Zhou Ming walked up to King Jaime and bowed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there are about two-thirds of the noble ministers in the palace left, and we can survive this rebellion crisis." ”
Wow~
With just one sentence, the nervousness and worry on everyone's faces, including King Jaime, turned into relaxation and smiles.
"Boy, no one is as good as you when it comes to big words, but none of the 200,000 rebels outside King 0 City have retreated!"
Duke Rudolph snorted coldly, and the bastard boy began to pretend again.
"Please tell me about the situation, and I will think of a way to break up the rebels and settle this rebellion within five days. ”
Rumble!
The scene was again a bang.
In five days, break up the rebels and settle the rebellion?
Are you kidding?
There should also be a limit to pretending to be forced, okay?
In short, every time I saw Zhou Ming's face, a small group of people led by Duke Rudolph were very unhappy.
King Jaime and other nobles told him in detail about the cause of the rebellion.
