Volume 15 The War of Kings! Chapter 38: The King's Conspiracy
Chapter 38: The Conspiracy of Kings
After Abner left the Black Chapel, his mind was becoming more agile and clear than ever, and what he had previously ignored was slowly being recalled.
All the intermittent, trivial things flashed through his mind one by one, and then they were reorganized and strung together.
Who the hell did the psychic magic on himself? The only person who could have this means to keep himself from knowing and who had this condition was the president of the Mage Guild, Bivis, who was supposed to have a reason to do so, because he had once mentioned the drawing to himself.
It seems that the drawing is indeed very important, and the mage will be determined to obtain it.
He frowned, thinking about how to get the blueprint back, but suddenly, he remembered the strange attitude of Advisor Serome and Erina's sudden departure......
A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have a faint grasp of something.
His pace slowed involuntarily.
The first thing he thought about was who got the drawing, and the consequences of Irene getting it were completely different from those of Serome.
Irena would only treat it as an ordinary thing, and Serome ...... A glint flashed in Abner's eyes, and the other party could definitely see the value contained in it, if the drawings were exactly what the mages would think.
He thought about it, Erina should have been the first to get the blueprint at that time, because if he was Cerome, when he learned of the existence of this drawing, he would definitely not let him leave the elven island safely.
It is possible that the blueprint that Irena took away did not make Cerome pay attention to it at the time, and after he left the Elven Island, perhaps Serome accidentally discovered the existence of this drawing, and saw the great value contained in it, so he immediately rushed over and picked up Irina, in order to prevent Irene from leaking the situation.
Abner sneered, the other party must have thought that there must not be many people who know such an important thing, so as long as he kills himself, the secret can be hidden, at least no one will catch any clear handle.
The best thing is that if you kill yourself at this time, everyone will think that it is due to the conflict caused by the competition between the black elves and the surface elves for allies, and they will not think of anything else at all.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the most likely truth, and his face was cold, and he slowly clenched his fists.
Since I have a way to bring about your alliance, I also have a way to bring disaster upon you
......
Lednoisa was in the council chamber, although he was old and had long since become less involved in the affairs of the Monks and the Mage's Society, he still paid close attention to the news and intelligence around him, and he had to scrutinize even the slightest detail for a long time.
However, he didn't trust the Thieves' Guild, so he set out to set up an intelligence network that was only responsible to him when he was young, and now it has really played the role he expected, these information are more targeted and focused, and the cost is greatly reduced, because he only needs to know what he wants to know, and other unimportant information can be handed over to the Thieves' Guild to do, those don't cost much money, and by the way, they can confuse and mislead their opponents.
He has been very concerned about Abner's every move recently, and the intelligence officer in charge of this area will quickly come and inform him if he has only the slightest movement.
He sat in a chair covered with a soft blanket, enjoying the feeling of having it all under control, especially at the thought that once the drawings were in his hands, his wish to achieve an unprecedentedly powerful mage would soon come true in his hands, even at his age, his heart couldn't help but feel a fire.
There was a very casual sound of small footsteps outside, at this time, it was almost the time for the intelligence officer to meet him alone, but the soles of the other party's shoes made an unpleasant friction sound on the masonry on the ground, he frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Did you bring the news?"
"No news, but I'd love to ask you something. β
An old man in black strode in, and then sat down on a seat on the side as if no one was around, looking casual as if he was in his own home.
"You, you, it's you......" Lednoisa jumped up almost as if he had been burned, it was hard to imagine that he could make such a move at his age, he trembled and pointed at the other party, his face that was originally quite calm and seemed to never be flustered was overflowing with shock and panic at this time: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to ask you something. The old man in black glanced at him and said, "If you are willing to say it, you can say it directly, if you don't want to, then it's okay, anyway, I always have a way to know, it's just a little more effort, but at that time I can't guarantee that you will still be complete." β
A very bad feeling rose in Lednoisa's heart, and he fixed his mind and said, "What is ......?"
"The old man in black grinded his heels, and a small patch of visible sludge was smeared on the polished masonry, and he left this trace along the way in.
Lednoisa paused in his seat, as if all the spirit and momentum condensed in his body were lost in an instant.
Actually, you can try to deny it. The old man in black smiled playfully and said, "Maybe you can hide it?"
"Hide it from you......" Lednoisa sighed and said, "If it's a little later, if it's a little later......"
"As long as it's a little later, do you think you can get that blueprint and become a king through it?" The old man in black crooked his mouth disdainfully, and said, "That's just your whim, you haven't reached that level, even if it's in front of you, you can't read it, you don't understand." β
He said "hey" again, patted the table with his hand, and said: "But this matter was discovered by accident, if the two kings of the elf clan get that thing, it is really possible for them to make something bad, it seems that this matter will be solved quickly......"
At this time, Domol hurriedly walked in from outside the hall and said, "Father, I saw ...... outside" After seeing the black-robed old man, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes showed an extremely vigilant look,
Although the robe on the other party's body was dirty, it could still be seen to be the clothing of the Holy See.
"Are you right that guy? I'm just letting him get a good night's sleep. The old man in black said very carelessly, and then he glanced at Lednoisa and said, "This is your son, who is far worse than you." β
"Father, who is this adult?" Domore saw that the other party was not simple, the key was that his father's face seemed to be very bad, which made him feel very bad.
Before Lednoisa could speak, the old man in black said slowly, "He also knows about that, right?"
"It has nothing to do with him, it's all arranged by me. Lednoisa looked a little panicked on his face.
The old man in black said disdainfully: "Don't make that kind of expression, although I am old and my eyesight has decreased a lot, but it is still as difficult to win sympathy as it was back then, and you two are just little ants to me, without Adriman to support you, I think when I pinch to death depends on my mood." β
Lednoisa's breath was a little short, and he said with some difficulty: "This is ...... Lord Ostram. β
Domol felt that the name was a little familiar for a while, and after a while, a large amount of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and he almost suppressed and shouted: "Black, Black Pope Ostram?"
Not everyone is well-known about kings and powerhouses, but there are always some very special people.
The Black Pope Ostram is a person who particularly hates rules and reason, and is notoriously vindictive, and does not have so much tolerance for ordinary people, which can be seen from his title.
Each king had his own title, Caterina was called "Monarch of War", Ron Di Lomas was titled "Undying Monarch", Ulysses was titled "Dark Monarch", the dead Adriman was titled "Elemental Monarch", and after Rommels killed him, the kings called him "Ghost Monarch", and Nell, the king's title was "Pious Monarch", and Ostram, who was called the Dark Pope by the Friars, but among the Council of the Dead and other kings, they called him " Monarch of Terror".
There was a hint of hideousness and struggle on Domoore's face, as if he couldn't help but want to make a move,
And Ostram looked at his face with interest,
"Stop, Domoore. Lednoissa stopped his son and shook his head, "It's useless. β
For a king and a strong man, no matter how much mortals struggle, it is useless, Lednoisa and Adriman have more contact, he knows very well that the gap between these monsters and ordinary people is not at all made up by any skill and quantity, it is absolute power mastery, in front of them, you face as if it is not an opponent, but a master of the world.
Obviously, the other party was just looking at him lightly, but Domol felt as if there was a force choking his throat, it was a strange feeling, as if the air around him suddenly weighed countless times, they squeezed his body, so that he couldn't breathe, he had an urge to shout, but he felt weak again, he knew that this was a reaction when he was terrified to the extreme, he wanted to desperately suppress and calm down, but he couldn't do it, and now he finally knew why his father, who had always been calm and calm, had such an ugly faceγ
Sha Lednoy was sweating profusely, and he said slightly panting. "Please stop, I'll tell you everything you want to know......"
"What if I tell you?" "What if you tell you?" Darmour shouted, his face pale, his forehead covered with sweat, "Now that the surface elves are about to form an alliance with Bethlehem, and the bishop of Bethlehem, Landiston, is also a member of your Holy See, why don't you go to him?
"It's funny what you say, but my brain isn't broken, do you think I'll believe it if you're so naΓ―ve and low?" Ostram squinted, a sly smile on his face, "but it's a good excuse, I'm not very good at meddling in the internal affairs of the Holy See...... Now I'm going to go to Landiston, and I can say that you can say that if there is any problem with the Monks' Society, I was just instigated. β
......
Half an hourglass later, Di Luolan, who was consulting the file in the temporary mansion, suddenly moved, he turned his head sideways to look out of the door, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, then please come in." β
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it," Ostram actually walked out of the wall, he looked at Luo Lan with a complicated expression, and said to himself: "It's actually a king...... When did a king become so worthless? Is this my delusion?"
"Aren't you a master at creating 'illusions'?" a deep smile appeared on the corner of Luo Lan's mouth, he didn't stand up, but stretched out his hand to the side and said, "Please take a seat, Your Excellency Ostram." β
"You know me?" Ostram stared at Luo Lan, his two thumbs constantly stirring each other, and if he kept staring, he would soon feel dizzy.
"As a powerhouse of the Light Camp, I have no reason not to know beforehand. β
Ostram grinned, looked at Luo Lan and said, "Then I'm curious, did you know about me before you became a king, or later?"
"I knew it before," Luo Lan smiled faintly and said, "But then I knew it again." β
These words seem to be contradictory, but they tell the other party very clearly, what he knew before Ostram was only his understanding before he became a king, and now after becoming a king, when he looks at the other party, he has a new understanding, and this time, it is closer, more real, and more in touch with the essence.
"Originally, I wanted to trouble you, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity......" Ostram sat down with a wry smile, sighed, and said: "Should I be happy or distressed? There is a monarch in this camp again, it seems that I should be happy, but there is one more strong man standing at the top of the world, and he is younger than me, I seem to be distressed." β
Luo Lan put down the file in his hand and said, "Your Excellency Ostram didn't come to me just to talk about this, right?"
"There is indeed a small trouble. Ostram said in a deep voice, "It's a drawing." β
"Drawings?"
Ostram emphasized, emphasizing, "Edriman that drawing." β
Luo Lan thought for a moment and said, "I just heard Ulysses talk about Adriman's renovation plan, is it related to that drawing?"
Ostram nodded: "Yes, but this drawing may involve more things, maybe you can use some rare materials to transform one or two kings and powerhouses...... Speaking of this, Ostram shook his head and pouted: "It turns out that the target of Nair's attack is Ulysses? I originally thought it should be that person...... Forget it, but it has nothing to do with me, as long as Gustav and they don't go crazy and attack me, I won't take the initiative to provoke them. β
Listening to Ostram's words, Luo Lan's brows also frowned slightly, and said, "King transformation?"
"Yes, that's it, that's what Adriman has studied all his life, hehe, you should know the destructive power of a king, especially when they have no scruples, if you add the manipulation and cooperation of other kings, then it will be a terrible thing. Ostram's expression was also unprecedentedly solemn, and he said: "Others don't know what will happen, but we know very well, if that drawing is true, it will be a great threat to the entire human race, so I think that whether there is such a possibility or not, we must force the elves to hand over the drawings." β
Luo Lan smiled playfully and said, "It doesn't seem to be that easy. β
Ostram nodded and said calmly: "I know that the elves have two kings, and with the World Tree and the Moon Well, they can also resist the invasion of any other forces, and I didn't want to provoke them, but this time, it seems that they have found trouble themselves." β
"Oh, so what is Lord Ostram going to do?"
"I'm definitely not going to be able to do it alone, but now that I see you......" Ostram stood up and said in a deep voice, "I hereby extend a sincere invitation to Lord Lantyston to join me." β
Luo Lan didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's just that the two of us seem to have fewer people,"
Ostram sneered a few times and said, "Of course the two of us are not enough, this is the business of all human monarchs, and according to the last agreement, those old guys also have the responsibility to take action." β
"Well, when it comes to human monarchs, even the monarchs of the dark camp should be counted among them. β
Ostram said with great certainty: "Of course they have to be counted in it, as long as the contest between the camps does not reach the bottom line, it has little to do with us, for us, these are just gorgeous clothes, we can't do without, but it doesn't matter if it's rags, but we all know what to choose when we are a common threat." β
Luo Lan laughed and said, "It seems that this drawing is a great threat to you. β
Ostram smiled slightly and corrected, "It's us." β
Luo Lan stretched out a hand and waved it, "But I don't think it's just our business. β
"Huh?" Ostram said, surprised.
Luo Lan nodded on the table, then looked into Ostram's eyes, and said, "For example, the black elves, they have been seeking cooperation with my diocese, and I remember that they also have a king. β
"The one who killed Adriman?" Ostram groaned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and said, "Yes, this is feasible The feud between the black elves and the surface elves has always been very large and irresolvable, although that person used to be a human, but whether he is on the side of humans or the position of the black elves, there is a reason to attack the surface elves." β
After a pause, he rubbed his beard and muttered, "When you say that, I think this is not just a matter for us human kings......"
Luo Lan seemed to think of something, couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ostram laughed a few times and said, "When I was younger, I went to the Dragon Island once with my mentor 'Pain Monarch' Hebralair, and although the mentor is no longer there, I think I am qualified to go there once now. β
