Chapter 337: Handle

Stormwind Council Chamber.

"Your Majesty, I am against it!"

The archbishop, who had always been kind, rarely had a cold face in front of everyone.

"The Dead Rider is a knight who has abandoned the Light. The Light will not tolerate such a blasphemous existence! Although they now say that they betrayed the Lich King, who knows if it is true or not. And, according to the Grand Duke, they also sent emissaries to the Horde. Your Majesty, they were able to betray the Light in the past, but now they can betray the Lich King, and they will not betray the Alliance in the future?!! ”

Listening to the words of the archbishop, the nobles below talked a lot, and although they deliberately lowered their voices among themselves, it was still inevitably noisy.

Varian's gaze surveyed the nobles below him like a lion surveyed his realm, and no one dared to meet his gaze.

Seeing that no one but the archbishop jumped out to raise objections, Varian withdrew his gaze and turned to the archbishop, and said without a hint of color on his face.

"Archbishop, in the future Northern Expedition, Bolval will be my marshal. Since he is already willing to vouch for them, I believe in their sincerity...... I don't think you can't even trust Bolval's judgment. ”

"Naturally, I can trust the Grand Duke, but I am afraid that he will also be deceived. After all, the upright Grand Duke may not be able to imagine the gloom and cunning of the Scourge......"

The archbishop's impassioned remarks, echoed from time to time by the low voices of the nobles, made him speak more and more eloquently.

Varian, who had long been impatient in his heart, secretly glanced at Anduin, who was listening beside him. He listened intently to the archbishop's speech, and there was a hint of worry on his small face.

This kid's qi cultivation kung fu is not at home yet......

Varian was slightly distracted. The corners of his mouth moved almost invisibly.

It was only when the archbishop had finally finished his case that he turned to Bolval.

"Bolval, do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty. I've already said what I need to say. I cannot say that the archbishop's fears are unfounded, but I still hold my point of view - it is good for us. ”

Varian nodded.

"What do you think?"

He asked his aristocratic councillors, an unpredictable smile on their faces.

The aristocrats looked at each other. Before finding out Varian's true thoughts, it may be safer to follow the direction of the Grand Duke, but in doing so, it will inevitably offend the Archbishopric Church of the Holy Light. They don't have the capital of Berval to deal with the archbishop. If His Majesty Varian hadn't really made up his mind. It was even more troublesome to offend both the king and the archbishop. As for offending Bolval, everyone knows that the Grand Duke is a guy who is right and wrong. Therefore, there is no need to worry about offending the Grand Duke.

In fact, Varian's previous strong purges have scared the courage of these noble councilors. Let them lose the courage to guess this seemingly moody king.

"Huh? No comments? Varian asked again.

Just when the president of the noble council had to face the eyes of the archbishop and the king of Wa, someone rushed ahead of him and said:

"Your Majesty, I have here a report from MI7, and perhaps you should listen to it."

The speaker breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while everyone's attention was diverted.

Varian's fingers tapped lightly on the handle of his chair. "Speak!"

"Yes!! Yesterday there were two unidentified dead riders without permission. Broke through Stormwind's defenses. Directly into the Grand Duke's mansion. And afterwards, the reason given by the Grand Duke to the city defense troops was military secrecy. I don't know what your Majesty thinks? ”

"Are you suspicious of me? Your Excellency Viscount Colin. ”

Bolval turned his head and looked at the guy who jumped out - Colin, although he was only a small viscount, but he had a relationship with the Mage Guild, and the family behind him was also very powerful in the army, so he was mixed into a small position in MI7, which happened to be responsible for monitoring the movements of the army.

Armies...... Boval's eyes narrowed slightly, it seems that some guys can't wait to take power from him?

"Don't dare, Grand Duke. You have done your duty to Your Majesty. You've shed your blood for the Alliance, and I doubt anyone will dare doubt you. But ......" is a nice thing to say. But here it is. "However, before this incident, the same thing had happened at the Tower of Azula. And according to the report of the military overseer who was present at the time, it was your adjutant who let them go and came to you with their help. Your Majesty, it is my duty that I have the right to ask the Grand Duke to give me a reasonable explanation. Today, those dead riders can enter the Duke's Palace uninvited, is it tomorrow that the Imperial City will also open its doors to them and let them enter and leave? Or is our Grand Duke and the Death Rider good enough to allow each other to drive straight into their mansion without doing anything? Your Majesty, there are no rules! Please take care of the ......"

When Viscount Colin stopped meaningfully, the scene was extremely quiet for a while.

Everyone was waiting for Bolval's answer, whether it was a dispute of interest, a mere spectacle, or a pro-Bolval one.

None of the people who can stand here are blind or deaf. The city defense forces also did not have any strict gag orders, and there were not a few people who knew that the Grand Duke's mansion was broken into by two dead horsemen. But it's a bit far-fetched to use this incident to force the secret between Bolval and the Dead Rider. It's just that Viscount Colin will be pushed to the front of the stage at the right time. With no one behind him, who would believe that he, a small viscount, would have the audacity to jump out and question the Grand Duke of Boval. But who gave him the guts? Is it just the family behind him? It seems that the portion is not enough......

Or is it that the aristocrats simply want to muddy the water a little more?

Bolval understood this, too, but instead of blaming Colin's mastermind, he had something else on his mind - should he tell Varian about Tiffin?

Varian straightened his back on the throne, then leaned down with one hand on his lap.

"What do you mean to say? Are you reminding me? Telling me that not everything is in my ears and ears in Stormwind? Is it suspected that my Grand Duke and the Death Rider have a private collusion? ”

His tone was cold and calm, and he couldn't hear any emotional bias, but the words he said made many people gasp in a low voice. After all, the matter was on the table, and as the king, Varian couldn't afford to ignore it. The smarter ones heard something was wrong - the Grand Duke didn't seem to have reported the matter to Varian.

"Your Majesty, nothing in Stormwind is hidden from your most loyal servant, MI7. The purpose of our existence is to inform us of the wise kings of what you have missed, big or small. Colin slapped Varian with a smile on his face, then took a closer look before finally closing his mouth contentedly.

Bowall's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously looked at Varian. There was not a single wave of emotion in Varian's blue eyes, and he stared at him silently, as if waiting for his answer.

When he was distracted, someone rushed to open his mouth in front of him.

"It must have been a misunderstanding, I'm sure." The first to speak was the archbishop. "Bolval didn't know it, it was just the whims of his adjutant. Isn't it, Berval? The archbishop smiled kindly at him.

The archbishop's exoneration brought a smile on Anduin's face - as long as he did what the archbishop wanted, then Bolval could stay out of the matter. The archbishop, sure enough, still supports Bolval!

Everyone thought so, including Viscount Colin who had just jumped out. His face was already a little unsightly.

I thought that this time Bolval and the archbishop were going to break up for the death ride, so they were ready to fall into the well, hoping to take some benefits from Bolval's hands. But now it seems that the archbishop does not intend to fall out with Bolval completely.

Bolval already had the support of the royal family, if the archbishop was still on his side......

Isn't he a villain?

Colin gritted his teeth uneasily, secretly hoping that Bowall would not take the steps handed by the archbishop. But he himself felt that it was impossible.

The archbishop's ladder is ready, and Berval can't get down if he can't get down. Not only is this matter not good, but even the archbishop's side will be completely offended. Is Boval that stupid? If he was so stupid, how could he have guarded Stormwind while Varian was missing!?

Varian thought the same way.

Is it because the archbishop and Bolval are so disagreed on the issue of opposing the death ride that the archbishop wants to make concessions to ease the conflict between him and Bolval, or in exchange? After all, the hand of the Church of Light cannot be blatantly inserted into his army. Bolval was also from the church, his student.

But why didn't Boval answer? Such hesitation doesn't look like his style.

Varian, who hadn't heard Bolval's answer for a long time, looked at Bolval, but saw a little cold sweat on his forehead.

What's going on? Why don't you explain? Is there anything wrong with those two dead riders? Varian had a question in his mind.

Bowall's heart was churning at this point. He understands the archbishop, and he understands the dirty political deals. The archbishop meant nothing more than to give him a little sweet date, so that he could write down his invitation, so that he would not be so stubborn in the matter of the death ride that followed.

If it was something else, it would be fine, but this one...... Not only could he not explain, but he even had to take it all upon himself.

Bolval opened his mouth, ready to admit it. But Salolson, who was behind him, stepped out of the crowd and took everything on himself.

"Master Bowval doesn't know anything about those two dead riders. It's all my fault. It was I who thought they were friends with adults and made such an unforgivable mistake. Adults and Death Riders had no friendship before the Psychic Academy, and I would like to vouch for this with my life! (To be continued.) )
