Chapter 103: Two Choices
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Second, the coup d'Γ©tat of his empire, although it was earth-shaking in the divination circle, did not affect the lives of ordinary people outside. The people of the imperial capital, who had experienced the war of aggression of the orcs, were more worried about the food of themselves and their families tomorrow than about the political changes in the palace.
However, change is always change, and even if the news about it is deliberately blocked and controlled by a group of bigwigs, its impact will always be revealed for a long time to come.
For those who don't know anything about it, they can only hear at most that the emperor is seriously ill due to overwork, and the crown prince is temporarily taking over the imperial power and presiding over the overall situation. The first thing the crown prince did after taking power was to appoint the "savior" who had made great contributions in resisting the orc invasion as the chief military and political adviser of the royal family.
With this as a sign, the Wren Empire, which was invaded by the orcs, began to operate quickly to deal with this sudden outbreak of racial warfare.
At the same time, another capital city thousands of miles away from the Imperial Capital of Rennes, the Lion's Head City of the Rhine Kingdom, the first power of the Kingdom Union, was not as peaceful as it had been for a long time.
It is a city surrounded by mountains, and if you climb the castle tower, you can see the rolling hills cascading into the distance. The Alpis Peak, which can be seen from the top of any house in the city on a slightly higher point, is a famous sight in the three countries of the continent, especially in winter when it snows.
The snowflakes are falling, and the not too big snow has been falling for three full days as the first snow of the year in the Rhine Kingdom, and it has long dressed the entire Lion's Head City in silver, and also decorated Alpis Peak as the most beautiful posture of its so-called "Watchgirl".
Snow-capped and cloud-shrouded, the lofty and steep peaks of the girlish mountains loom in the distance, and the refracted sunrise glow shows almost rainbow colors.
Under this beautiful and colorful scenery, the Lion's Head City is silent, and the vast majority of citizens are still sleeping quietly in the warm quilt, and the man is holding his wife. The mother accompanies the children, and occasionally the old man who wakes up early, slowly dresses up, lights the fireplace, and goes to the kitchen to take care of the family's breakfast for the day.
The brutal war of the orc invasion thousands of miles away has not yet reached this point, at least on the surface. The relationship between the Kingdom Union and the Wren Empire is not very good, and the people of the Kingdom are not interested in the life or death of the people of the Empire, and the only concern is whether the flames of war may burn on their own bodies.
What they never dreamed of was that the effects of the war had already invaded the Rhine, but it was not from Foreign Minister Rennes, who was anxious to ask for help.
The Lion's Head Palace, the most beautiful place in the whole city, relies on the Alpis Mountains to build in a highly artistic form, a large number of ornate and cumbersome aerial suspension bridges and exquisite and extravagant high obelisks, making it deserve to be one of the most prestigious buildings in the Three Kingdoms.
From a distance, this palace of art, which looks as if it would shatter at the touch of a button, is divided into front palaces. The middle palace and the harem are three major building complexes, each of which is independent of each other, that is to say, if there is a war, no matter which direction the enemy invades from the ground and sky, the other parts have a way to cut off the passage to contact it, and then launch a huge magic mechanism to implement active banning.
With just one signal, the entire palace can enter a state of battle within a minute, and the sixty-seven construction units of the three palace groups can be sealed off individually or collectively at any time, and only if they know the secret. The Rhine royal family of the Tao was able to pass freely, even abandoning the palace in the worst case scenario, and escaping through the final secret passage through the Alpis Mountains.
Only those who know the truth know the truth of the Rhine Palace, and the fact that no king has been killed in the palace for 900 years proves in fact that it is a fortress of art and function.
However, as Prince of the Rhine, Vincent. Rhine, however, has experienced first-hand the collapse of his 900-year-old proud safety record.
"Son", why,"
The aged king barely leaned on the edge of the great bed that had doted on his concubine a few minutes ago, and his snow-white and luxurious goose-down dressing gown was stained with bright blood and rapidly expanding.
Facing his father in disbelief, Vincent's handsome face did not fluctuate for a minute, and his eyes were as clear as water.
Poof" He quietly drew his silver-white sword from the king's left chest, and gently shook off the blood beads.
The Rhine King, whose heart was pierced through the big hole, was stunned, and the surging blood soaked half of his body at once, and his eyes as he stared at the prince flashed with doubt, shock, anger, relief, and all kinds of colors of true calm, and finally slowly dimmed.
While his own father still had a glimmer of breath, Vincent stepped forward. Instead of saying a final goodbye to the dying person, he grabbed the opponent's hair almost roughly, and then stabbed the blade of the sword that had just been shaken off the blood into the opponent's throat, and then used a faint blue light to cut it hard, cutting off his head.
Cleanly, the water magic ice sealed the wound, and the blood in the arteries spurted everywhere.
A suppressed scream rang from the corner, and the young concubine, also dressed in a nightgown, saw the king's murder by the prince with horror and despair on her face.
Vincent gave her a blank look.
"Prince", spare your life
In the past, the woman who relied on the king's favor to pull the high-spirited woman only has a weak plea at the moment.
She didn't expect that the powerful backer king in her mind would be so vulnerable, and the cold-faced prince who always remained silent in her intentional or unintentional provocations would be so cruel, and the glory that she was still trying to achieve last night would pass away like a bubble at dawn.
She could imagine the next fate for herself, her children, and the other concubines and princes, all the battles and visions of the past seemed so stupid. The prince who seems to be out of the way is the real hunter, and he tolerates the king's amorous affection not by mercy and weakness, but by indifference and dormancy.
Vincent glanced coldly at the woman, lifted the king's head and turned away, and walked out of the door.
In the corridors of the harem, characters shrouded in black hooded robes firmly subdued many guard-like magicians in various ways such as locking their throats, breaking their hands, and sealing their mouths, making them unable to move, let alone use spells.
Hundreds of meters of corridors, from one end to the other, there are no less than forty black-robed people and magic guards in total. In this way, one-on-one maintains a posture of imprisonment and imprisonment. No sound came out at all. It seems like hundreds of strangely shaped statues.
Vincent with his head in hand passed through the corridor in silence, and the guards who were still conscious and trying to resist looked at him in shock, anger, or fear, but no matter how they struggled, they were blocked by the black-robed people around them, and they couldn't move a finger.
Where did these guys come from? Unknowingly, they helped the prince invade the well-guarded harem, eliminating all the guards along the way, without touching half of the mechanism, and without even using magic!
The king's loyal personal guard, cultivated to reach the level of the Holy Spirit, the leader of the palace guard, was at this moment by one. The black-robed man cut his hands back, pressed his elbows against the wall, and barely moved his eyes to look at the back of the prince who was walking farther and farther away, and he couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head.
The defense measures of the Rhine Palace, as a confidant of the king's side, knew very well that it was the highest machine that Wang Zizhou let Rong Xu Vincent know about the harem complex, but the arrangement and patrol of the guards, the location of the traps, the room where the king slept, etc., were all temporarily decided on the day and could not be leaked out.
If the prince is attacking, then even if he is defeated, there are many plans for the king to escape, but the prince is assassinated, and it is a group assassination with a high degree of concealment, and there is no flaw until the end.
He, the captain of the King's guard for many years, was able to lead the team to block him in front of the room, completely out of a kind of instinct for danger.
Sensing something was wrong during the patrol, he came to the area with forty-seven guards to confirm the king's safety, but after the two sides did not look at each other, but the corridor suddenly became dark, and then there was a slight sound of a thump, and it became what it is now.
The prince's black-robed procession subdued the guards in an instant, without even alarming the king and his concubines, who were only separated by a door. It's terrifying! Superb stealth, strange means of control. Simply the embodiment of darkness, the hunter of magicians.
When did the prince have such a group of terrifying subordinates!?
At the edge of the field of vision, Vincent walked up to a figure who was also dressed in black robes, who seemed to have emerged from the shadows out of thin air, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Rhine prince.
"Your Highness, your goal has been achieved, and I hope that you will be able to carry out the contract with us next. The black-robed man said.
"It's not over yet, and when you take care of the rest for me, I'll keep my promise. β
Vincent said indifferently.
The black-robed man paused, and seemed to examine the Rhine prince in the shadow of his hood.
"What about these guards?" he decided not to dwell on the details, and to get to the end of the matter.
"Kill, and the woman in the room. β
Vincent skirted the black-robed man and headed across the hallway.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but our Empress has instructed that we must not kill old and weak women and children unless our people are threatened. The words of the black-robed man made the cold prince pause.
"Isn't the dark race the embodiment of terror and death?" a voice of confusion came from Vincent's mouth.
"I know that His Highness has no malice in asking this, and I do not deny such a statement, but our new Majesty has set such a rule, and we must obey it. β
The black-robed man said calmly, raised his right hand and made a downward cutting motion, and the next second the crisp karaoke sound sounded continuously, and all the guards were broken and fell limply down the corridor.
"If you are an enemy or a man, it doesn't matter how much you kill for Your Highness, but Your Majesty's rules are here, so I'm sorry, it's better for Your Highness to kill women and children by yourself. β
The black-robed man saluted to the prince of the Rhine, and slowly retreated into the shadows and disappeared silently.
Turning his head, the dozens of black-robed people who had just spread all over the corridor also evaporated like morning dewdrops, almost as if they had never appeared.
The lonely prince was silent for a moment at the corpses of the guards on the ground, and then continued to walk away with his head in his hand.
Returning to his own sphere of influence in the middle palace, Vincent entered the lobby under the reverent and burning gaze of his loyal subordinates, and slowly walked to the first master's chair and sat down. The king's head is placed on the left hand side, and the snow-white sword is on the right hand side.
In the lobby, many nobles dressed in robes or formal attire bowed down to the nascent king, expressing their respect with the warmest words and the most firm oath of eternal allegiance.
"This country, from now on, is mine. β
Vincent's speech was brief, but it had the majesty of a king that no one could resist.
After listening to the king's commandments, the nobles retreated to do their assigned work, purging all enemies and their remnants.
In the end, apart from Vincent, there were only two beautiful women left in the entire lobby.
The kingdom unites the second princess of the second great country, Alexia. Leopold, Glaitis, daughter of the Duke of the Rhine. Galvie.
Two beauties with different styles, one left and one right, came to the prince's side. Alexia looked at Vincent with her eyes closed, and Glaitis looked at the king's head with a complex glint of color in her eyes.
"I've imagined this day many times. β
Vincent suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the chandelier on the ceiling, and said with a somewhat empty voice.
"It has always been my wish to kill the ruthless king to avenge the queen mother, and to ascend the throne to seize all that this man once had, and I have imagined countless times since I was a child. β
"But at the Three Nations Conference, I met a good person like a fool, and I learned that in addition to hostility and hatred, there can be trust and understanding among them. β
So I wavered, wondering if there might be another way to resolve the long-standing grievances more satisfactorily. β
The corners of Vincent's mouth slowly flashed a bitter smile of extreme helplessness.
"But I didn't make it after all, I wasn't the good guy who could lead others to a happy ending. β
"Say no more!"
Princess Leopold, who was extremely sore in her heart, stepped forward to hug her sad lover, and wrapped the other party's cold body and mind with the warmth of her delicate body.
"It's not your fault, Vincent, whatever you do, whatever you do, I'll be by your side, walking with you even to the end of hell. β
The princess witch who was once known as the "prince killer", this is just a little woman who is in love with her heart.
"I don't believe there is hell in these worlds," Vincent buried his tired face in his lover's bosom, "but Chongyang would be disappointed if he knew that I had committed such a sin." β
The disappointed and indifferent eyes of the best friend, in the heart of the lonely prince, are ten thousand times more terrible than the ethereal hell.
Alexia hugged her tighter, she knew Chongyang. What does the name Bright mean in the heart of a lover.
"He may be disappointed, but he will never abandon you. β
Gletis, who had been silent, whose real identity was the king's illegitimate daughter and the shadow princess who was a half-brother and sister with the prince in front of her, suddenly said faintly.
That stupid person, but because of her ugly connection with the prince, she can tolerate her life!
The Sapphire of the Rhine Kingdom, one of the victors of the Three Kingdoms Conference, has never been so mixed as he is now, and he has never missed it like this, wanting to see a man.
Chongyang, if you can appear now, I will definitely keep my promise and be your mistress for life.
Somewhere in the imperial capital of Rennes, braving the snowstorm, the white-haired masked youth and the black-haired cloaked youth faced alone.
"The Kingdom of the Rhine?"
Chongyang frowned, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the guy in front of him.
"This is one of the pieces of information I can provide, if you want to expand your forces as quickly and as much as possible in a war, it's best to make a trip to the Rhine Kingdom. "Sayerem's face is hidden in the hood of the cloak, like a devil in the dark.
"What happened to the Rhine Kingdom?" Chongyang's specific impression of the Rhine was only two former comrades-in-arms, Prince Vincent and the duke's daughter Glaitis.
"Then let's go further into the information, and if you're sure you want to exchange this news with a knight's captain's grandson, I'll be happy to let you know. Saye stood up indifferently, "Another piece of information is to shut down your hometown Lieyang."
"Sun City, what else have you done!?God King Satan, my current strength is indeed inferior to yours, but if I am desperate to make trouble for you, you will not be better!" Chongyang suddenly became angry, and the snowflakes around him instantly melted, and even the fire that burned in the void.
"Calm down, Renhuang Yang Dao, I didn't say what I did, in fact, except for you and a Luo Yang in your family, I don't care much about other people. Sayereng said calmly.
"After Luo Yang awakened" Fu Huang. Ability is very useful to me, and it is a rare assistant, so I will not let him go unless the price you pay is high enough. β
"Of course, if you accept my initial suggestion to join us, then you can be reunited with him immediately, but it's a pity that you are too wary of me, it's a pity. β
Chongyang was silent for a while, reining in the magic that was slightly out of control. In the face of this strong enemy, he always couldn't help but have a liver fire.
Abduct Luo Yang and torture Lawrence. The monster who caused the turmoil in the palace, did so many evil things, and was calculating and conspiring all the time, it is really impossible to be calm from beginning to end. In fact, if he had the ability, he would have been interested in this a long time ago. The bastard got into a fight.
"Two pieces of information, the Rhine Kingdom and the Sun City, which one do you choose? One Enad is worth the price, if you add Daniel, you can give you both information. Sayereng continued unhurriedly.
It didn't matter what would become of Enade when he fell into his right hand, Chongyang had no mercy on this sinister figure who had plotted against Lawrence and himself.
As for Daniel, "The healer himself claimed that it would be better to kill himself if he was handed over to Sayelem, because he knew very well the miserable fate of being a guinea pig, and if Chongyang was willing to let him go, even if he was imprisoned, he was willing to provide assistance in healing, as well as information about the healing guild.
The healing guild is the hometown of the fire demon, and although the fire elemental elf doesn't say it, Chongyang knows that he still cares a little about the guild, so he wants to keep Danielle, and only one of them can be handed over to Sayelem as a bargaining chip.
"It should have been a little more effort at that time. Put the marshal grandson Fana. Wren also caught it. β
Chongyang recalled the original scene, because Lawrence was in a bad condition, he was in a hurry to go back to the Sword Death World to seek treatment, so he left the battlefield.
The second prince of the empire is hovering on the verge of life and death because of the failure of awakening. After a whole week of all-out rescue, it was temporarily stabilized, but the follow-up situation was still worrying, and the entire team of Anjou and his sacrificial temple calculated that Lawrence would only live for about half a year.
This is the price of seeking power, and both natural and artificial awakenings are risky.
The awakening secret method of the Sword Death World Sacrifice Hall is the mildest method, the key is the age of the recipient, the lower the age, the higher the success rate, so the new generation of the Sacrifice Hall is trained from infants
Sue, Vinnie, Aya, and Gaiasis all have the potential to awaken, but they may not all be awakened successfully, for example, Sue awakened the ability of the shadow demon, but Vennie, who is the same age as her, failed, and is still an ordinary little maid, because the means are gentle and properly controlled, and there are no sequelae, as for Aya and Gaiasis, they are still in the process of awakening.
And the means used by Sayelen on Lawrence are different, the risk is high, the degree of strengthening is large, once it succeeds, it can at least cross a few levels than before, but if it fails, the consequences will be quite serious.
Thinking that Luo Yang was likely forced to undergo a similar dangerous ritual, the suppressed anger in Chongyang's heart couldn't help but rise up.
"If it's not a good choice, I'll give it as a discount and give a little content hint. The Rhine Kingdom side is mainly related to another Eve Awakener, who is supposed to be your lover, and the events in Sun City are related to your mother.
β
Helen, another Eve Awakened?She's in the Rhine!?
Chongyang's heart jumped suddenly, and the blood that he was trying to calm down suddenly surged uncontrollably.
The beloved lover is undoubtedly the person he wants to see the most outside the family, but he doesn't know where she is, and now he suddenly hears the news, and the turmoil in his heart is difficult to suppress.
On the other hand, however, ",
"What happened to my mother?"
Chongyang hadn't seen his parents in this life for a long time, but that didn't diminish his love for them in the slightest.
This orc war broke out directly in the interior of the empire by opening the Beast Emperor Gate, and Sun City, which had been infested by low-level orcs on the border, escaped the catastrophe, so he was not too worried.
However, now the black-haired sage told him that something had happened in Sun City!
Although he hated this bastard very much, Chongyang believed that the other party would not play tricks at such a time.
On one side are distant countries and longing lovers, and on the other side are border cities and missed mothers.
Faced with these most difficult multiple-choice questions, Chongyang was a little confused.
Sayereng was very patient, and even interesting to observe the reaction of the Awakened Emperor. It was not surprising that the other party was secretly approaching him to negotiate, and he was willing to accept the negotiation and maintain peaceful relations with him for the time being, because other things were more important now.
The potential of the Awakened Emperor is enormous. Just like the second generation of human emperors themselves, the real god king Satan was driven to a dead end by him, which is enough to prove that he is the only outlier among the strong people of the Holy Emperor.
Chongyang. Where can Bright go, Sayelen is a little curious, the current magical fire mage is not enough to be his opponent, and there is no need to be an opponent.
Of the two choices given, in the eyes of the black-haired sage, the Rhine Kingdom's side was obviously more valuable.
Under the leadership of the emerging empress, the dark race has infiltrated the kingdom union in a big way, and with the identity of Chongyang and the relationship of that empress, it is easy to occupy a place in it, and when the time comes, just like the second generation of human emperors infiltrating Eve's camp, the power under his command will expand dramatically, and he will be able to gain a pivotal position in the shortest time.
Of course, if this is the case, Sayerem will prevent future developments and absolutely avoid the recurrence of certain situations in the second generation.
On the other hand, on the side of Sun City,
"I choose, the intelligence of Sun City. β
Chongyang stood quiet in the cold wind and snow for a long time before muttering to make a decision.
I'm sorry, Helen, I'd love to see you, but ......
A glint of disappointment flashed in Sayerem's eyes. The evaluation of the Awakened Emperor of the Human Emperor has been greatly reduced.
What kind of considerations did the other party have for making this stupid choice?The Awakened God-King is a little incomprehensible, and the feelings of a beautiful lover are not better than those of an old woman?Interests?Remote, remote and remote city compared to a prosperous kingdom. It's more profitable over there, and the idiots know!
"Why this?" he couldn't help but ask.
Chongyang was silent for a longer time.
"No why, now tell me, my mother Naya. Bright, what's going on?"
I didn't expect to have a meeting after the project ended. After that, the project team has to get together again, eat, drink, sing or something, and I hate it the most, (to be continued)
