Chapter 10: Undercurrents are surging!
This is a richly decorated room, which can be seen from the white and yellow color combination and the full and rounded lines, which is typical of the Sherlock art style of the East.
In the center of the room was a long table, on either side of which sat five people, both men and women. In the center is an old man with white hair.
I saw the old man take off the glasses from the bridge of his nose and said, "Everyone has arrived, so let's talk about how it went."
The first person on the old man's left hand, a thin and weak man, was the first to speak: "I went to the Moslian Empire and met the eldest prince Jiawen and the second prince Xiuwen respectively. The eldest prince has a heroic spirit, judging by his temperament, words and deeds, or a generation of heroes. It's a pity that this person is deeply influenced by the Holy Light Sect, and he speaks to himself as righteous and self-serving. Although the second prince Xiuwen is not as good as his eldest brother, he is also a far-sighted person, and I think he is scheming and has a far-reaching plan, and he will not be willing to submit to Jiawen, if we can support the second prince to seize the throne, it will definitely be a great help to achieve our goal in the future. ”
Before the words fell, I saw a burly man on the right hand retort: "I have also heard of the reputation of the great prince, he is above board, and the support and prestige he has gained in the Moslian Empire is not small, and it can even be said that when the old king dies, the throne will definitely be his." You said that you want to support the second prince, not only is he alone in Moslian, but he is also not favored in front of the old king, and it is not easy to help him to ascend to the throne. If we fail, we will be ostracized by the whole of Moslian, and not only will we fail to achieve our goals, but we may even destroy all our foundations in Moslian. ”
"Isn't it possible that you can't go to Domiz to find death!" The thin man said angrily.
"Hmph, fool's opinion. Although the Dominiz is the seat of the Holy See, as the saying goes, it is dark under the lights. Although the Holy See has a strict control over other places, they would never have imagined that I was under their noses. Moreover, His Majesty Peter of Dominiz has been dissatisfied with the Holy Light Sect for a long time, as long as we help His Majesty Peter to overthrow it, as long as the rule of the Holy See is weakened, His Majesty Peter will be able to seize power, and one day he will be able to"
"Shut up!" The old man interrupted the burly man's speech.
The burly man also came to his senses and did not continue. As the saying goes, the wall has ears, and although they have already laid an enchantment, it is better to be careful.
The old man turned his head to the second seat on his left, who was also an old man, the only difference was that the hair on his head was still black, and he did not have glasses.
The black-haired old man noticed the white-haired old man's gaze, nodded and said, "I went to the Kingdom of Arras. The present King Arthur is a sixteen-year-old boy, intelligent, brave and resolute. I have guided him to the Sword of the Lake, and he has officially joined the court. ”
"What? You gave him the sword in the lake?" The burly man asked incredulously.
"You've decided in such a short time, and if you fail, you know what the outcome will be." The emaciated man was equally shocked.
The black-haired old man said slowly: "I'm old, although my eyes are okay, but after all, I'm old." I didn't have that much time to go and see them one by one. Since you see a good seedling, of course you can't miss it. And my experience over the years has taught me that he can't be wrong. ”
After listening to the black-haired old man's words, both of them stopped talking.
There was silence in the room for a while, until the white-haired old man tapped lightly on the table and asked the third man on the left, "Dior, how are you?"
The man named Dio gently put down the pocket watch in his hand and said, "I went to the Kingdom of Lorraine, where the Holy Light Sect is not strong enough to start our plan. King George is currently focused on planning a war with the Kingdom of Ammusi in a few years' time. We can use this opportunity to intervene in the war, gain the trust of the Kingdom of Lorraine, and enter the kingdom's court. ”
"Yes, that's possible. Although the Kingdom of Ammuxi is powerful, but the internal crisis is serious, and the problem with Moslian has caused the national policy to be unstable, if the Kingdom of Lorraine has our help, it can indeed have a few more chances of winning. "Dior's idea is still feasible.
"So, LeBlanc, what about you? What do you get out of going to the Kingdom of Ammuxi this time?" The white-haired old man asked the woman in the second seat on his right.
This woman was the LeBlanc who appeared at Alan Venus Manor that night. LeBlanc stroked his top hat and said, "I've taken a turn in the kingdom of Ambush, but there's nothing to say. But there's one person I haven't understood yet?"
"Who?" The burly man asked.
"Alan Ouranos, Duke of Essis." LeBlanc said.
"Huh? That imp from the Ouranos family? I remember he was only sixteen years old now. The white-haired old man thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, that's him. He had not long ago banished Count Andrew of Tulgar in a matter of days with the forces of his direct subordinate, and I had returned from the city of Ammusi to meet this imp with the intention of giving it a try. As a result, I didn't see through him. Saying this, LeBlanc gritted her teeth slightly.
"I have studied it carefully, and it was only two months from the time he began to prepare for the war and finally won it. The actual battle lasted only one afternoon, and although Andrew of Tulga was not a figure, the Tulga Collar was quite wealthy, and his strength was comparable to that of a dukedom. And judging by the degree of control over the army, this kid is definitely a militarist. Not only did he abandon the traditional methods of peasant warfare, but he also professionalized the army, so that Esis's army broke away from the feudal system and became his family's private soldiers. These tactics are not shocking, but if they all happened in just two months, it is somewhat intriguing. ”
"If he hadn't thought about it a long time ago, then he must have someone to help him." The emaciated man said.
"But I didn't find anyone helping him during my investigation." LeBlanc retorted. "Judging by his resolute gamblers, this man is definitely an opportunist. But when I revealed that I could help him fight for domination of the mainland, I was not moved at all, and even had a rather cold attitude. I haven't been able to figure out his true purpose yet. ”
The crowd fell into deep thought for a moment.
In the end, it was the white-haired old man who broke the silence: "In short, everyone is doing a good job, and the disruption has not really started yet, but it is a good time for us to arrange our hands and feet, and we will have to bother everyone during this time."
"The speaker said seriously, the reason why we joined the plan of the adults is for the arrival of that day, everyone is willing to give their lives for the ideals in their hearts, and this little fatigue is nothing." The burly man said, and the crowd said yes.
The white-haired old man waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your efforts, let's continue the plan." Also, the wind has been tight recently, so don't get together again in a short time. ”
"Yes, Speaker." The crowd replied.
When everyone left, leaving only the white-haired old man alone, silence returned to the room.
Suddenly, the white-haired old man walked away listening to the footsteps of everyone, and suddenly a few strange words came out of his mouth. Then I saw that the white-haired old man's whole body seemed to be melting, and his body turned into a mess, and only a silhouette could be seen. After that, the colorful colors were recombined, and slowly, a petite and lovely girl replaced the white-haired old man.
Behind the girl, another white-haired old man slowly emerged from the air. The girl threw herself into the old man's arms and said in a coquettish voice, "Grandpa, how do you see Alice's transformation technique?" None of them found out!"
The white-haired old man patted the girl's little head dotingly and said, "Little Alice is really smart, even grandpa almost can't tell the difference."
Grandpa's praise of the girl was rarely used, and she couldn't help laughing. The laughter stopped, and the girl continued, "Grandpa, is that guy named Alan really so mysterious that Sister LeBlanc just said?" Alice wanted to check it out too. ”
The white-haired old man looked at the girl with a smile, and there seemed to be countless thin lines passing through his wise eyes, making people feel dizzy after looking at it for a while.
In the end, the old man still touched the girl's head and said, "Since you want to go and see, then go and see." Remember to come back early and don't forget home. ”
