Chapter 643: Changes on the eve of the celebration day
Bishop Jeffrey's Mansion.
The conversation between Leo and the Duke of Habs continues, but the atmosphere of the conversation between the two parties, who have been fully determined to cooperate, is much more pleasant than before, and let's not forget that the touching scene of the uncle and nephew recognizing each other (at least Leo thinks so) has only just played out in this place, so in general, everyone in the hall is in a good mood now.
Leo looked at Duke Habs, who was still smiling and chatting with Cheeto about some past events, and felt that it was almost time, so he decided to add some trouble to the Duke: "That, Lord Duke, how is Viscount Juan lately?" ”
To be honest, Leo doesn't want to mention it, but he can't do it if he doesn't.
Duke Habs was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and soon smiled again: "It's okay, kid, to be honest, I've been a little bit busy lately, and I haven't paid much attention to him." ”
After saying this, Duke Habs glanced at Cheeto in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to get some information from the look on Cheeto's face, but it was obvious that Cheeto's reaction did not meet the Duke's expectations.
In these days, Leo has gradually cultivated the skill of observing words and feelings, so at a glance, he knew that Duke Habs's words were actually quite perfunctory, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "It seems that this Duke doesn't seem to know much about the current situation of Viscount Juan, could it be that the thing that Entropy Demon said before turned out to be true, Viscount Juan was really kidnapped?" ”
So Leo decided not to hide it anymore, but went straight to the point: "That's the Duke, I have heard some news related to Viscount Juan from some sources, so I hope to be able to verify it from you." Can you tell me where Viscount Juan is today? ”
Duke Habs glanced at Cheetos again, and after finding that his nephew was at a loss, his face finally changed slightly, and he turned to Leo and said, "Lord Leo, can you tell me what you have heard?" ”
Leo keenly caught the flash of worry in Duke Habs's eyes when he first spoke, so he strengthened his opinion and said: "Yes, I was told that Viscount Juan has now been captured, and that the place where he is being held is in the Holy See. ”
Duke Habs's face finally changed significantly, if the expression on his face just now was sunny, it instantly turned into a cloudy cloud at this moment, and Cheetos on the side naturally discovered this, and couldn't help asking: "Duke... Uncle, did Juan really come to the Holy See? ”
Duke Habs let out a long sigh, and his face became solemn: "Yes. ”
Leo and Cheedo glanced at each other, both seeing the look of surprise on each other's faces.
If Viscount Juan did come to the Holy See, wouldn't it be very likely that the news that Entropy Demon had told Leo before was true?
"I asked him to come." Duke Habs sighed again, and then explained the truth to the two of them.
On the eve of the celebration, Duke Habs sent Viscount Juan to the city of Ridmar to send his most respected son home overnight to deliver a letter to his sister, Cheetos's own mother, who lived in the fiefdom of the Blood Wolf family.
"What is written in the letter?" Cheeto couldn't help but ask, after all, this matter was related to Cheeto's mother, and the master of the Inquisition was obviously very concerned.
Duke Habs glanced at Cheeto, and the tone of his mouth was as gentle as the expression on his face: "What is written in it is a plan, a plan that needs to be decided by her sister." ”
"Plan?" Cheeto and Leo both looked confused.
Duke Habs nodded and said, "On the eve of the celebration day, I already knew that Lord Dandrion was planning to assassinate His Majesty. Although I have tried to distance myself from the assassination beforehand, since I have been in a relationship with Lord Dandrien, I am still at risk of being exposed, and if I am exposed, I can say that I will definitely die, so-"
Leo already understood when he heard this: "So you sent Viscount Juan back to your fiefdom in a hurry on the eve of the celebration, just to prevent him from dying with you in the city of Ridmar in case of defeat, right?" ”
"That's right." Duke Habs said: "Although I also have many children, but Juan's child is the best candidate for the next patriarch in my heart, once I am defeated and killed, then the responsibility for the survival of the blood wolf family will fall on Juan, of course I can't let him risk his life in vain." ”
Cheeto, who was on the side, suddenly interjected and asked, "But if that's the case, then shouldn't Brother Juan be in the fiefdom of the Blood Wolf Family?" Why did they come to the Holy See again? ”
Duke Habs smiled bitterly and said, "This is going to talk about Lord Dandrien's hunch. ”
Under the explanation of Duke Habs, the truth of the matter gradually became clear.
It turned out that before the celebration day, Dandrion suddenly sensed a familiar and extremely evil aura for some reason, and the Angel of Judgment suddenly realized that it was the information of the "second demon king" that he had sensed in the White Peony Castle thirty years ago.
But at that time, Dandrien's assassination plan was already ready to be sent, so the angel found the Duke of Habs, and after some discussion, the two asked Viscount Juan to rush back to the fiefdom with a secret letter with this information, first, to keep Viscount Juan away from danger, and second, to inform Ambrosi who was hiding in the fiefdom of the Blood Wolf family through Juan's sister's mother.
"Wait!" Leo suddenly called a timeout: "Ambrosi? The name seems familiar...... I'm rubbing, this Ambrossi, can't it be the Ambrossi I saw in the Lito Mountains? ”
Duke Habs smiled slightly and said, "That's right, it's that Ambrossi." ”
Leo's mouth opened wide, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.
If it weren't for the explosion that killed Ambrosi (something seemed wrong) while collecting medicine in the Lito Mountains, Leo would still be just a magic apprentice doing odds for potions.
But what surprised Leo even more was that Ambrosi's body was in front of him at that time, and he was sure that the old ascetic was definitely dead, but how could this guy suddenly come back to life?
Duke Habs said, "You forgot that Lord Dandrion then appeared?" It was Master Dandrion who brought Ambrossi back. ”
"I see." Leo nodded and said, "So you let Viscount Juan and Ambrosi come to the Holy See to deal with that Great Demon King?" ”
"Nope." Duke Habs shook his head and said, "With Juan's child's three-legged cat kung fu and Ambrossi alone, how can he deal with the Great Demon King hidden in the Holy See?" ”
Saying that, Duke Habs turned his head to Cheeto: "Actually, the main purpose of the two of them is to warn Cheetos and the referee. ”
