Inside the Royal Palace.

Augustus XVI sat on the throne, flanked by Nathaniel, Duke of the East, and Antonio, the chief arcane and holy mage of the Tower of the Stars.

Xiang Yun, Yu Zixuan, and Duguyue are also located on one side.

In addition, there were dozens of members in the hall, all of whom were court officials of the Arcane Empire, including the chief court knight Roland, the chief court mage Raymond, and so on.

Everyone was silent at this moment, full of embarrassment, and very embarrassed.

These people were originally the most famous people in the Arcane Empire, but not long ago, they were deceived by Ronald and Prince Eric and committed unpardonable sins.

The turmoil in the imperial palace spread to the entire imperial capital.

But fortunately, the turmoil did not last too long.

The possessed Marquis Ronald has been killed, so before the situation is completely out of control, it is finally controlled by Augustus XVI, who came back in time, and it is not too late to make amends.

But it's clear.

Emperor Augustus was disappointed in his ministers.

Although Prince Eric is the culprit of this incident, because of the relationship between the evil plans of the film sect and the exposure in advance, this conspiracy was carried out in a very hasty manner, which can be said to be full of flaws.

can be in this case.

None of these ministers, court knights, and magicians reacted!

In the end, it was a Gentile who came from afar that he was able to reluctantly redeem all this.

In fact, you can't blame these people, after all, the whole thing happened too quickly, so people didn't have time to react.

But what is certain is that if there is no Xiang Yun in this incident, no matter whether the Shadow Sect can overthrow the empire or not, it will at least cause the empire to suffer a great turmoil that has not been seen in hundreds of years, and for this reason, it will even go back by hundreds of years.

Emperor Augustus was furious, but now was clearly not the time to be angry, because although the turmoil in the palace had been eliminated, the situation in the four realms of the empire was still critical.

"Tell Your Majesty. ”

"Prince Eric is missing. ”

A royal guard hurried over to report.

Augustus XVI frowned and asked, "How did you disappear?"

"We searched the palace but didn't find Prince Eric, and the subordinates guessed that he had left the palace early. The royal guard hurriedly explained, "We have arranged a search for the imperial capital. ”

Augustus XVI was furious: "Are all the royal guards blind? a prince can't even leave the palace to see, what's the use of the empire raising you waste!"

Several royal guards at the scene bowed their heads in shame.

Augustus XVI quickly regained his composure, and he began to think about the possible consequences of this incident, and the key to the palace unrest was Prince Eric.

If he's missing.

That's a problem.

There are aristocrats all over the world who are controlled by the Shadow Cult.

Prince Eric was originally the first in line to the throne of the empire, although he was not very old, but he had a high prestige and status, and if he was exiled at this time, it would be a big trouble and hidden danger.

For example.

As long as Prince Eric stood up and shouted to announce that Augustus XVI had been controlled by demons, the nobles in the four regions who were controlled by the Shadow Sect immediately responded en masse.

Under such circumstances, a very large momentum can be formed in a very short period of time, and perhaps many local masses who do not know the truth will be driven by this seemingly huge wave and eventually become part of the chaotic party and the betrayal of the party.

Augustus XVI was silent for a few seconds and then ordered: "It is announced to the public that Prince Eric has been murdered by the cult, and this turmoil is a conspiracy created by the cult disguised as Prince Eric, and it cannot be ruled out that they will take a closer step......

"In addition, an announcement has been issued to the four realms, as long as the major noble lords immediately stop their wrong actions, and the empire thinks that they are also deceived by the fake Prince Eric and make wrong judgments, as long as they have not caused serious consequences, they can not be blamed for what they have done in the past or be punished lightly!"

That's all there is to it.

Once Augustus XVI gave this order.

First of all, it was announced that Prince Eric was dead, and at the same time, it was announced that there were members of the cult who were impersonating Prince Eric, so that even if Prince Eric escaped from the palace and the imperial capital, his identity would be suspicious.

The prince, who should have inherited the empire in about thirty or forty years, will "die" in a very undignified way, and from the moment this order is issued, Prince Eric and his heirs will lose the inheritance of the empire forever.

Meantime.

Augustus XVI offered forgiveness to the nobles of the Four Realms.

Now as long as these nobles have not caused serious consequences, as long as these nobles stop their wrong behavior, the empire can forgive their sins, and even not blame them in the past.

This is a step left by Augustus XVI for himself, after all, this reshuffle plan involves too many nobles and even lords, if you choose to choose a one-size-fits-all approach, the sequelae will be very serious, and the foundation of the empire will be seriously damaged.

Not a last resort.

Augustus XVI did not want to take this step.

He quickly repelled the others present, leaving only Nathaniel, Antonio, the chief court mage Raymond, the chief court knight Roland, and of course, Xiang Yun, Yu Zixuan, and Duguyue.

The chief court mage Raymond already knew the inside story of the shuffle plan, and the old mage who had stayed in the palace for forty years, had reached the peak of the nine veins, and had extremely high arcane attainments, was also shocked by the Shadow Sect's crazy plan.

He immediately put forward his opinion: "I have already conducted an arcane analysis of the structure of the soul program provided by the scholar of Xiang Yun University, and I think that in order to activate this soul program, a very precise and accurate key is required, and it is impossible to do it too far away. ”

"From the early launch of the Shadow Sect's plan to the present, it has only been two days at most, and I think the Shadow Sect should not have such a fast speed to activate all the latent chess pieces up and down the empire. ”

"Therefore, as long as we find these pieces before they act, subdue them or suppress them, we may be able to change the current situation. ”

“……”

Although this palace incident.

The court mages disappointed Augustus XVI.

But for a court mage to become a court mage, it can't be an ornament or a vase after all, in fact, every court arcane is carefully selected, and each of them is already a successful person before entering the palace.

Chief Mage Raymond has reached the peak of the Nine Veins, the same as Augustus XVI himself, but in terms of arcane knowledge and research, he wants to throw Augustus XVI a few streets, even if you look at the entire empire, there are very few people who can compare.

It can be said that his advice is valuable.

Now that Xiang Yun has invented the screening glasses, if he acts now, it may be too late to prevent at least half of the chess pieces from being activated, and nip them in the bud before they can cause serious damage.

Chief Knight Roland frowned and said, "This may not be the best policy, judging from the information we have, the Shadow Sect may have bases in every province, and they may move faster than we imagined." ”

"In addition, these chess pieces are completely normal until they are activated, and if we forcibly capture them or execute them, it will inevitably cause everyone to be in danger and even cause a violent backlash. ”

The Chief Knight disagrees with the Chief Mage.

Augustus XVI was a little troubled, but this matter was imminent, and he couldn't afford to think about it at all, so he had to set his eyes on Xiang Yun.

Although for this young man.

He can say very little is known.

But for some reason, he always felt that at such a time, maybe this young man could give a better plan.

Xiang Yun had already thought about the plan just now, and now he saw Augustus XVI looking at him, and he said calmly: "Screening must be carried out immediately, I suggest that screening glasses be made immediately, but in terms of the way of processing, I think there may be a better plan!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Augustus XVI's eyes lit up with hope.
