Chapter 468: Spare Your Life
"There's nothing strange about that. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Leo still felt that Cleverley's opinion was problematic: "Don't forget, there were not only me and His Majesty the Emperor in the Victory Palace at that time, but also you. Long before the day of the Bloodseeker Moon, Lord Dandrion had already told me about the existence of the Children of Darkness. ”
It is also possible that the Children of Darkness are one of Dandrion's targets.
"Oh?" Cleverley raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face: "Maybe you're right, Dandrion may not be here because of you, but also because of me." But that doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that I guessed it right, the egg is indeed inside you. ”
"It's only recently in my body." Leo corrected Cleverley's statement, and suddenly remembered a question: "I remember when we first met you told me that you had entrusted this egg to the Holy Ascetic Ambrossi. ”
"That's right." Cleverley nodded, "I watched as my father handed over the egg to Ambrossi, but that stupid ascetic screwed everything up, not only lost his own life, but also made the egg sign a contract with you. ”
"I don't understand." Leo said: "Your Golden Lion Family should be the staunchest supporters of the royal family, how can you get involved with a high-ranking member of the church? ”
Through the information of the Inquisition, Leo already knew that Ambrosinae, the ascetic of the Sanctuary who died in the Lito Mountains, was one of the leading figures in the ascetic line of the Church, and his status was only inferior to that of the cardinal, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a high level of the Church.
Cleverley smiled slightly: "The church and the empire have supported each other for so many years, so what's so strange about our Golden Lion family having so many friends in the church?" ”
Cleverley was an understatement, but Leo's heart was bright, and he found some blind spots that he had overlooked.
Cleverley's answer inadvertently tells Leo one thing, and that is that the infiltration and counter-osmosis between the church and the royal family have been going on for three hundred years, even under the reign of Charles XVI, who was extremely hostile to the church.
This also made Leo think of the question, that is, could Pope Enhill also have some spokesperson in the imperial court? This is a point that must be paid attention to, and it may affect the outcome of the election meeting.
Of course, Leo can't come up with an answer at this moment, and this matter is not the most important thing at the moment.
Leo said, "If Lord Dandrion is not lying, then this egg must have been in your hands for thirty years. ”
"But there's nothing we can do about it." Cleverley obviously knew what Leo wanted to ask, and preemptively interrupted Leo's words: "It's been in Lionheart for thirty years, under our control. ”
Leo continued, "But here's the problem, if you really can't do anything about it, then why did the old emperor send this egg to your Golden Lion Family's base camp? Wouldn't it be safer to stay in the palace? ”
Cleverley laughed again.
"Leo, I have to admit that you do have a ability to see the essence of things. That's right, when the old emperor got this egg, the young dragon in the egg was actually about to be born. In order to hide from the public, mainly to prevent the church from getting information, it was chosen to be transferred to Lionheart. ”
"Coming soon?" The corners of Leo's mouth showed a hint of mockery: "But thirty years have passed, and Xiaobai still hasn't broken out of the shell, it seems that your judgment back then was quite wrong." ”
"No, there was nothing wrong with the judgment at the time." Cleverley denied Leo's claim, saying, "It was only after Prime Minister Paul recaptured the egg and brought it to Lionheart that the Empire discovered that the egg had been sealed at some point. ”
Leo was surprised: "Seal? You said that Xiaobai has a seal on his body? ”
Cleverley's tone was very affirmative: "That's right, a seal that has gathered many masters of the empire and cannot be broken in a full thirty years. ”
"Why haven't I seen any seals on Xiaobai?"
"Because your strength is so poor, you can't find that seal at all, Leo."
"Am I too weak? Don't forget that you're really just an ordinary person, if you really want to talk about the strength of a single body, I can send you to hell with a single spell, Cleverley. ”
"But at this moment, I'm the one who can send you to hell with a bolt of lightning, Leo."
The conversation between the two suddenly became full of gunpowder, but the strange thing is that when the quarrel was about to develop to the point of being out of control, the two of them closed their mouths at the same time with a tacit understanding.
After a moment, Leo was the first to speak to break the silence: "Who made the seal?" ”
"I don't know, but as far as I know, the team escorting it left Ridmar City without any seals on the eggshells."
"So you mean to be sealed in the White Peony Castle."
"Of course. And this seal has the divine power of the Dark Demon God, I guess it must be a seal sent by the Dark Demon God. ”
"And you still say you don't know?"
"I really don't know what the name of the person who sealed it is, how old he is, whether it's a man or a woman."
"It's a bit funny what you say, you're a child of darkness, and you can't even figure out the identity of your teammates?"
"That was thirty years ago, not now, I wasn't born thirty years ago."
The quarrel is over for the time being, but Leo already has the answer in his mind.
In the story told by Dandrien, there were two demon kings in the castle at that time.
One of them, Lemuel, died in a life-and-death fight with Dandrien, but the other never showed up.
In Leo's opinion, it is obvious that the only one who can seal is this mysterious demon king.
So Leo spoke again: "Even if that was thirty years ago, but now you are a child of darkness, there is no reason why you can't find the demon king who has been hiding in the dark." ”
"I really can't find him."
"You fart."
"You're farting, your whole family is farting."
The two of them looked at each other angrily like two children competing for their favorite toys, and the scene was not tense at all, but a little funny.
Although he kept reminding himself that Cleverley was a conspirator, for some reason, Leo was inclined to believe Cleverley's words.
The reason is also very simple, if Cleverley can meet the demon king thirty years ago, then why should he bother to ask Dandrion about the past in the Victory Palace?
"In this case, you, the son of darkness, can nominally rule all the dark believers in this world, but in fact, it is not worthy of the name."
"Hmph." Cleverley sneered heavily, "All the dark believers? Together, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of a legion in the Empire, is it rare? ”
Leo wanted to say that even the strength of a legion was rare, but he immediately remembered that Cleverley was originally the person who could inherit the emperor's minister and become the number one leader of the military, and the strength of a legion was indeed not rare for Cleverley.
Regardless, the conversation allowed Leo to get enough information.
So Leo decided it was time for a showdown.
"Cleverley, leave my body now, and I can spare your life."
