Chapter 218: The Investigation Begins
Wolf and Igul received the most sincere and warm welcome and gratitude from His Majesty Charles from the very beginning.
As the supreme ruler of a kingdom, although he is a little bit more honest in nature and lacks a sense of vision, it cannot be denied that he is indeed a qualified king who can serve the country and the people well, govern the country, just because the enemy's means are a little more clever, and he can "pay" the weight of the resolute betrayal of the loyal Prime Minister Davide, and then things are quite easy, almost the entire Tessali Kingdom is almost paranoid. Tacit trust is one of the important bargaining chips that Prime Minister Davide has gained by operating here for so many years.
When receiving the news from the royal guards that Wells had come back like this, His Majesty Charles was already able to guess the seriousness of the matter, and he could also imagine that his son might never come back in the enemy's calculations, and perhaps he might become a bargaining chip used by the enemy to threaten him, and naturally he understood in an instant that his son would secretly return to the palace with such two strangers, and the possibility that the other party was Wells' benefactor was infinite.
After all, this is not Wells' usual joke,
Prime Minister Davide is so cunning and scheming, and he has long harbored evil intentions, and His Majesty Charles, an old bacon who has been an old fritter since he was a child, will capsize in the gutter, which is understandable, "It's not that our army is not strong, but the enemy is too strong", who would have thought that there would be people who have dutifully lurked under one person and above ten thousand people for so many years, and still have not exposed their ambitions?
No matter how much money there is, in the end it is just a string of numbers, no matter how big the power is, in the end it is more than responsibility, and Confucius Sage once said, "Thirty and stand." Forty and not confused. Fifty knows the destiny of heaven. Sixty and ear smooth. Seventy and do what you want, not exceeding. In terms of objective laws, when people reach a certain age, unless they are mentally retarded, they are generally able to see through the laws of most of the world's conditions, can understand the essence of the things they are pursuing, and can make relatively reasonable decisions in accordance with the aging of the body and the decline of energy.
In essence, this is almost related to the secretion of hormones in the human body, human metabolism and the strength of individual willpower, energetic children are ignorant and ignorant between countless dreams, human beings grow up complex thinking is systematically grouped together, that is, learning, dreams are gradually clear and clear, but human willpower is uneven, some people will not be able to withstand the endless temptation of reality and dream parting ways, and some people can practice, eliminate all difficulties and finally succeed.
However, when people get old, the decline in physical fitness and energy will make them understand that they have limits after all, and even the most resolute people have to learn to make choices.
Besides, Prime Minister Davide at this age, he is not a master-level powerhouse, he does not have a long lifespan of two hundred and fifty years, and he is not like His Majesty Charles, who is far from his "knowing the destiny of heaven" period, and Prime Minister Davide, who only has the strength of a sword master, has already begun to age.
Unlike Charles, who is still an "old child", Davide at this time is a truly wise old man, after seeing Bommer's unscrupulous intruder behavior, he immediately understood its true ambition and its terrible place, and even his heart has long seen that the unification of empire is the real trend of the Rizel continent, and he has long made a choice in his heart, and Charles, as a peer, is still unaware of this!
This is probably also the influence of Ixion's will to "protect", but it is not excluded that after His Majesty Charles has a relatively long life after breaking through to the master level, his understanding of the development trend of the world has also become dull, after all, human society belongs to these "short" lives after all Most of the ordinary people, with a long lifespan, they will gradually become sluggish in some aspects, as a long-lived species, they are still outliers in human society after all, how can they understand that they are the majority of ordinary people?
Sometimes it does not mean that living a long time is wiser than others, human beings can produce wisdom that can be comparable to that brought by a long time just by feeling aging, which is also one of the manifestations of infinite possibilities of human beings.
So maybe in terms of strength, His Majesty Charles, His Royal Highness Dells, Knight Harney and Old George may indeed be strong, but in terms of wisdom, they are more than a star and a half behind Prime Minister Davide.
......
After greeting Wofdashi and Igul, who were obviously his son's benefactors, warmly and decently, His Majesty Charles did not rush to promise them anything, after all, he didn't know the specific situation, did he, and he didn't narrowly think that the promise was too valuable to be reluctant, but he felt that things were not so simple, and he was afraid that his hasty promise would be too light, and he would laugh and be generous after knowing the truth.
Besides, it won't take too much time to wait for the people on his son's side to explain the origin of the matter, and this kind of patience and city government are still available to His Majesty Charles, who has been a qualified king for so many years.
Otherwise, it would be too much to live up to the name of a certain professor.
Sure enough, after wittily ignoring Wells' interjections, His Majesty Charles gradually understood the cause and effect of this matter from the constantly supplemented narratives of the three Keith Swordsmen, and all the evidence pointed to his most trusted friend, Davide!
And compared to His Royal Highness Wells, who only vaguely deduced the speculation because of various signs, His Majesty Charles, who was awakened by the "heavy punch" of his own son's fatal attack, and he was familiar with Prime Minister Davide, and immediately contacted that something was wrong with Davide recently, and Charles had already believed in the terrible conclusion that Keith Swordsman had deduced.
But after all, this involves the highest executor of the government affairs of the Kingdom of Tessali, and it is also the most serious treason problem, as the king of a country, although Charles is also disappointed to understand that the truth of his friend's betrayal is quite large, but he must not be able to convict him directly, and a certain degree of evidence is needed, and at the same time, such evidence can make him die.
Fortunately, for the prime minister of Tessali, no matter how much Charles trusts Davide, many of the other party's actions are secretly monitored and recorded by people sent by his father, His Majesty the former King Janris, if it is to investigate some passers-by, but for Prime Minister Davide, they are not too simple to investigate......
