Volume 1 Odin's Difficulty Chapter 106 Backstab
Ivan drew the long sword that had pierced the beast's throat and shook off the blood stained on it.
With Edward joining, they can kill monsters much faster, Edward's strength should be the strongest among them, and Ivan is also forced to do the thankless work of the avant-garde due to the composition of the team.
"Good luck! Another Warcraft crystal nucleus! ”
Ciel sliced open the beast's skull and removed the pale yellow crystals inside.
Looking at the smiling girl, Ivan himself couldn't hold back his joy.
Today's biggest gain is definitely the corpse of the three-headed demon wolf, this is a seventh-level demonic beast!
Probably for Edward's sake, the three commanders Walker did not take the wolf corpse with him.
In fact, the role of this corpse is just to go to the royal court to exchange merits, since the third prince is here, there will definitely be no less merits.
And Vare didn't ask for it, he shook his head with a smile, and left the valuable wolf corpse to Ivan and them.
The only fly in the ointment is that the crystal nucleus of the three-headed demon wolf has been damaged in the battle and has lost its due value.
However, people, after all, you can't be too greedy. The corpses of the three demon wolves can already be said to have made them return with a full load this time.
The royal city at night is lonely, deserted, and uninhabited. Occasionally, a figure walking through a dark street also looks like a ghost. The noise and excitement I see on weekdays have been gone for a long time.
As the night wore on, Odin's court was still brightly lit, soaked in a sea of light, like a black curtain dressed up in a golden world, and the faithful guards held firm control of all the passages.
Turning the council chamber and through a somewhat narrow corridor, the second prince Ozul walked briskly, and a man was waiting for him by the pool of the palace.
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"No, I'm just a little curious about how you're in the mood to ask me out today."
"Look at what the eldest brother said, we are brothers!"
"Brother......" The eldest prince Rafman chewed on these two words, but his eyes suddenly became a little distracted.
Sur didn't say a word, and took a long sip of the long bottle he was holding to his lips.
"Oh? What is it? Rafman asked.
"The good wine sent by the people below, do you want to take a sip too, big brother?"
"Nope." Smelling the pungent smell, Rafman decisively rejected the strange-looking drink.
"Getting back to the point, what are you asking me out for?"
"Big brother is a little anxious this time. Forget it, I wanted to talk to you about these things first. ”
Rafman was silent and motioned for Otsoule to continue.
"What the hell is Big Brother thinking about Edward?"
"Third brother...... Why did you talk about him all of a sudden? Rafman's smile was playful.
"Big brother isn't worried at all?"
"Why worry?" Rafman asked rhetorically.
"It seems that the eldest brother has a lot of confidence!"
In the light, Rafman's eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word.
He watched as Otsur drank the cloudy liquid from the bottle.
"Yikes! This wine is really good, haha! ”
"The second brother came to tell me tonight that this is difficult, do you have any ideas?"
After a long silence, Rafman finally spoke again.
"Find a reason to transfer Edward out, preferably a garrison far from the front line."
"How merciful! Second brother! ”
Naturally, Rafman's sarcasm Otsoule heard it, and he didn't seem to care.
"Big brother, are you and I all the same? It's just the same kind of person. ”
Hmph, what a false brotherhood.
There seemed to be a flash of disdain in Rafman's eyes.
"Yes, since you also think that Edward can better serve the empire by staying outside, then it is better to transfer him out."
It seemed that the mood was a little complicated, and another silence fell between the two people.
There was also a stuffy humidity in the air, which made people a little irritable.
"The empire is about to fall."
Ausur suddenly said this without a clue.
"What? Does the second brother already have a premonition of Odin's future situation? ”
"Big brother, you know better than anyone else." Ossoule paused for a moment and continued: "There are already at least three reasons for Odin's decline. ”
"Big brother is willing to listen to you."
"First, my father's serious illness means that we have lost a legendary-level combat power, and ...... You and I know very well what this kind of thing will affect."
"Go on." Rafman nodded.
"Second, the war with Romaniels will be a terrible loss."
"Oh?"
"The epidemic in China has doomed us to be unable to focus all our energy on the war between the two countries, and after the loss of the chief mage of the court and our father, the highest combat power on our front line is no longer comparable to Romaniel."
"Once defeated, not only will we lose land and money, but the leader of the Northern Alliance will no longer be us."
"Second brother, you don't seem to have much confidence in the empire." There was something inexplicable about Rafman's tone.
Ausur also knew that if outsiders knew about it, it would be very unfavorable for him in the battle for the storage position, but he was not afraid of it.
Therefore, Ausur did not pay attention to Rafman's words, and his tone still did not hear any special fluctuations, as if he were stating the facts.
"Don't you think it's strange? The bizarre death of the head of the palace, the outbreak of the epidemic, the Warcraft riot, all things are pushing Odin to the precipice, and even his father's serious illness is quite suspicious......"
"What do you want to say?" Rafman's tone was a little stiff.
"Doesn't the eldest brother suspect that there is something strange here?" Otsur said with burning eyes.
"Naturally, we were suspicious, but we didn't find any evidence to prove it."
"yes, let's just think it's a conspiracy on the part of Romaniel." Otsoule laughed.
"What's the third reason?"
"What about this third reason...... 'Ossoul' smiled and said no more.
Rafman frowned, not knowing what trick he was playing again.
"Big brother, do you remember the secret base where the three of us brothers used to play together when we were children?"
This sudden sentence made Rafman stunned, and then said vaguely: "Hmm...... It's a little too long...... I don't remember exactly......"
"Not far, not far. But you don't even know. ”
As soon as Otsoul's words fell, Rafman felt a chill in his ribs, and looked down to see that two short knives had stabbed him in the back!
This third reason ...... It's you, my dear...... Eldest brother! ”
