Chapter 1446: I Really Didn't Expect It
In the early and middle stages of the struggle for the throne, the ten princes did not show any intention of coveting the throne, nor did they make any actions to compete for the throne, but were only co-opted and co-opted by different forces, and used as pawns at the mercy of chaos.
In the end, it became clear to everyone that the Ten Princes, a seemingly ordinary chess piece, were real chess players, and they didn't know when they had begun to lay out. By the time the purpose was revealed, he had already occupied an absolute advantage, solved all his competitors, and inherited the throne without accident.
An emperor who knows how to forbear - this is what many people say about the Ten Princes.
Richard's assessment is different. There is forbearance of the ten princes, but the one who really knows how to forbear should be the truth society standing behind the other party.
Yes, the truth will.
Through his cooperation with Zonghu and Nagarjuna's leadership "Cobweb", coupled with the work of the Salin Intelligence Organization, as well as his own thinking, he asserted a long time ago that more than ninety percent of Char's chaos was caused by the truth.
And the fact that the Ten Princes can become the new emperor also has an unreasonable relationship with the Truth Society.
After all, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, who are strong contenders for the throne, are not stupid, and before winning over the tenth prince, they have infiltrated the forces of the tenth prince a lot, so as to figure out whether the tenth prince can really be used.
If the tenth prince is really strong, he can hide it once, but he can't hide it from everyone.
The reason why the Ten Princes were defenseless was that he really didn't have any strength, and the last amazing outbreak was nothing more than the support from the Truth Society.
Needless to say, the Truth Society is powerful, and although the headquarters is destroyed, there must still be remnants of the forces left. At least according to his understanding, the entire Truth Society should have four colored ring masters, in addition to the dead "Dead Sea" and the "gray mist" sent to the sky by him, there are half of them, that is, two.
The color ring can almost be regarded as an existence beyond the fourth-level wizard, if you are willing to lurk down and lay it out, with some strange methods of the Truth Society, you are willing to spend time and energy, and there is almost nothing that cannot be done.
This is a big threat to him, to Shalin.
He had thought more than once that it would be better to wipe out the remnants of the Truth Society with all his might if he had the chance.
However, the hidden truth will be much more difficult to deal with than the truth that is exposed. Just like the previous conversation with Nagarjuna, if you can do something about the hidden truth, as long as one fish slips through the net, it may be infinitely troubled.
With this in mind, and the fact that the Truth Society has not deliberately looked for trouble for more than three years, he has slowly changed some of his minds.
In his opinion, if the truth will learn a lesson from the destruction of the previous headquarters, and stop being his enemy for the time being, but turn to other things, such as trying to infiltrate the alliance and "borrowing corpses to resurrect souls", he can cooperate and conclude a temporary "peace treaty".
In this way, the truth will be able to complete his plan without interference, and he will be able to devote more time to research—as for the trouble for the truth to be found after he has successfully "borrowed the corpse to resurrect", and it is another matter for him to free up his hands to clean up the truth after he has studied the truth of the world - in any case, it is a matter of mutual benefit to conclude a "contract" at the moment.
Maybe the emperor, who is controlled by the Truth Society, has such a plan, so I invited him to meet.
It's a smart choice.
If the truth can be wiser, and wait until a certain day to turn hatred into friendship, it is not impossible for the two sides to cooperate to a limited extent.
After all, he was still quite curious about some of the high-level secrets of the Truth Society, and about the so-called true gods of the Truth Society.
With this in mind, Richard walked into the palace and stood still. Facing the Emperor of the Alliance, Byron Romanoff, he smiled kindly and bent down to perform a standard aristocratic salute.
"Lord Richard from Sharin, salute His Majesty the Emperor of my great Soma Alliance. Richard said.
After the salute, he slowly straightened up and looked at the Alliance Emperor.
According to Richard's prediction, the next thing should be a polite greeting from the Emperor of the Alliance, and then the two sides will talk about the adjudication of the court, carry out some redivision of interests, and complete the meeting.
But the next moment, the emperor's cold response suddenly made him stunned.
The new Emperor of the Alliance, who was sitting on the high throne, said with an expressionless face after watching Richard's salute...... You...... Convicted?!"
Are you guilty?!
Convicted?!
"Bang!"
With a bang, with the emperor's words, the door of the palace slammed shut.
The Alliance Emperor looked directly at Richard, and Richard's expression froze a little, as if he was a little surprised, a little surprised, a little unexpected, and a little ...... Dumbfounded.
Well?
For a full three seconds, Richard did not speak or make any movements.
Because of these three seconds, Richard couldn't help but re-examine his whole person, and also re-examine his hidden opponent-the Truth Society.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that the opening words of the Alliance Emperor in just one sentence have already given a lot of information and revealed a lot of things.
Maybe...... He is not as feared as he imagined, and perhaps the hidden truth will not be as rational as imagined.
When you meet, you have to ask about sin, what is this trying to do?
Can't wait to get your hands dirty?
In this way, the so-called meeting is not a "negotiation" at all, but a trap.
But this trap is too clumsy, isn't it? It's just a blatant trick to deceive him and inflict harm without any disguise.
It's really low-level, it's like a street gangster's trick.
But then again, although low-level, he did get deceived. The main thing is that he really didn't expect that the Alliance Emperor would use this method to deal with him, and he didn't expect that the Alliance Emperor thought that he could use this method to deal with him.
The corners of Richard's mouth curled slightly, revealing a somewhat strange mocking smile, and slowly turned his head to look at everyone in the palace. Seeing the different expressions on the faces of the palace officials, some were calm, some were surprised, some were shocked, and some were panicked, obviously they didn't know about the decision of the Alliance Emperor before this.
In particular, Cyril Sack, the diplomatic ambassador, seemed to really think that this meeting was sincere, so after hearing the words of the Emperor of the Alliance, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
"Heh......"
Richard laughed, and after sweeping everyone around, he looked back at the Alliance Emperor and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, what is my crime?"
He already knew the plan of the Alliance Emperor or the Truth Society, and now he wanted to cooperate with the other party to continue the performance, and wanted to see what step the other party was going to take.
Do you want to force him to confess his guilt, or do you directly convict him with Tianxian in your mouth, or do you not even want the most basic face, and directly kill him on the spot?
