Chapter 103: Mutation
The next day, when they approached the barracks on the border of the Duchy of Oran, they were immediately stopped by the soldiers on duty.
"Ahead is a military stronghold, no traffic!" The leading captain said in a deep voice.
"This is the daughter of the Grand Duke of Oran, and we want to see General Lacey, and we have important matters to discuss." Ye Lan pointed at Sophia and replied.
The captain glanced at Sophia, unmoved.
"Do you have any identification items?" I can send someone to inform you. I don't care if the general wants to see you or not. β
"Yes, yes. This is the jade pendant that General Reis gave me back then, which should be able to prove my identity. Sophia hurriedly took out a jade pendant and handed it to the captain.
The captain took the jade pendant, summoned a soldier, bowed his head and whispered a few words.
The soldier nodded, then took the jade pendant and ran towards the inside of the barracks.
At this time, the captain suddenly saluted Sophia.
"Miss Sophia, please understand!"
Seeing that the other party was so calm, and he could really come up with an object to prove his identity, and he didn't look like an impersonator, the captain already believed seventy percent in his heart. Now make a salute and apologize, otherwise the general will confirm that she is really the daughter of the Grand Duke, and won't you be in trouble.
Sophia waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I can understand you."
Not long after, the little soldier who had just gone to report ran back, first communicated with the captain, and then came to Ye Lan and the others, and said respectfully: "Everyone, the general is invited, please come with me."
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Ye Lan and the four of them soon came to a room, and at this time, a burly man was already waiting here.
Reis waved his hand to signal the soldiers to go down, then looked at Sophia, and said softly: "Little Fia, why do you have time to come to the barracks to see me."
When Sophia saw Reis, her eyes suddenly turned red, she hugged Reis, and cried: "Woo woo, teacher, save the Grand Duke." Woo."
Lacey's face changed, "Little Fia, what's wrong with him, what's going on?" β
Sophia wiped her tears and said in a choked voice: "Wright is forcing the palace, the Grand Duke is in danger!"
Then, Sophia told everything she knew, and she didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.
Hearing Sophia's words, Lacey's face became more and more gloomy.
"Fia, are you telling the truth? You have to know that you can't go wrong. β
"Teacher, what I said is true. Please hurry up and go to save the Grand Duke. β
"Bastard!"
General Lacey clenched his fists in anger.
"He was treated well when he was fair, how could he behave like such a beast! He deserves to die! β
"Little Fia, don't worry, I'll arrange it. Let's go! β
Soon, everyone rushed towards Γ lan City, the capital of the Principality of Oran.
In order to be in a hurry, General Lacey took Sophia, and Ye Lan took Lu Xiaoran.
And the conversation on the road also let Ye Lan know that the younger brother of the Grand Duke of Orlan is called Wright, and the Grand Duke of Orlan has no children and no daughters in his life, but adopted a boy and a girl many years ago. The man's name is Les, and the woman's name is Sophia.
The two were deeply liked by the Grand Duke of Oran, and even gave them the surname Oran. Now that the Grand Duke of Orlan is approaching, he is planning to pass on the position of Grand Duke to his adopted son Rice.
Hearing this, Ye Lan probably understood why the eldest duke's younger brother was usurping the throne, and his feelings were not satisfied with the grand duke's heir arrangement.
The speed of several people was very fast, and after a long night of hurrying, they finally arrived at Oran City the next morning.
Without resting, several people walked directly towards the mansion of the Grand Duke of Orlan.
It was very calm along the way, which made Ye Lan and the others very puzzled.
It stands to reason that since Wright dares to force the palace, he thinks he has a lot of power. Now that everyone is swaggering and rampage in Oran City, it should have been discovered a long time ago, but now there is no movement, which is really unreasonable.
"Miss Sophia, you're back, it's great!" The old butler hurriedly shouted when he saw Sophia coming back.
"What about the Grand Duke?" Sophia rushed.
"The Grand Duke is in the study."
Hearing this, Sophia didn't stop and ran directly towards the Grand Duke's study.
Ye Lan glanced at the housekeeper with some confusion, he felt that something was wrong.
According to Sophia, Grand Duke Orlan and Lacey grew up together since childhood, and the butler, as a confidant of Grand Duke Oran, could not have known Lacey. But he only greeted Sophia just now, but turned a blind eye to Reis.
And he has a lot of small movements when he speaks, which is a sign of human nervousness, which is really abnormal.
Ye Lan and Reis glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Apparently both found anomalies.
At this moment, the old butler suddenly grabbed Lacey and pleaded, "General, please be sure to take Miss Sophia out."
Reis grabbed the old butler's shoulders and said urgently, "Do you know anything?!"
The old butler shook his head vigorously, and said very hard: "General, I... I can't say, you know it when you go to the study. β
Les didn't ask any more when he heard this, since that was the case, everything would be clear when he went to the study.
Seeing Rey and the others leaving, the old butler sat down on the ground all of a sudden, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained.
Ye Lan, led by Reis, came to the study, but saw Sophia sitting at the door with a dejected face, tears streaming down her face.
"Miss Oran, are you alright?" Ye Lan asked softly.
"Grand Duke, he's dead, he's dead!! Sophia said with tears in her eyes.
Hearing this, Lacey immediately rushed into the study, and Ye Lan followed. Only Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Xiaoran were left to comfort Sophia.
The two observed the body of the Grand Duke of Oran, but found that he had been dead for at least five hours, and that the fatal wound was in the chest, and the heart had been ripped out. The ripped out heart was thrown on the desk.
How much hatred is this? actually dug directly into the heart.
Ye Lan frowned, thinking of all kinds of strange things after entering the city...
"Hit the mark!"
Ye Lan and Reis said in unison.
Ye Lan and Reis's faces changed suddenly, and they hurriedly ran out of the study and stood beside the three girls.
"Hahahaha, Sophia, Lacey, I'm not surprised by this gift I gave you."
At this time, an extremely arrogant voice came from outside.
Everyone hurriedly looked, but saw five men walk in.
"Wright, you killed the Grand Duke?" Lacey asked.
"Hahaha, yes, I killed it." Wright laughed maniacally.
"Bastard, your brother treats you well, how can you do something to kill your brother!" Lacey scolded angrily.
"Treat me thinly? Hmph, I'm his own brother, why didn't he pass on the position of Grand Duke to me, but to an adopted son, am I not as good as an outsider?! Wright said coldly.
"That's why you're here?" Lacey said angrily.
"Isn't that enough?" Wright replied.
"Where's my eldest brother? What did you do to my eldest brother? At this time, Sophia, who had been silent, spoke.
"You mean that Rice boy? You wait, this is for you. β
Wright chuckled and threw out a wooden box.
The box fell to the ground and shattered, and a human head rolled out of it.
"Big brother!"
Sophia let out a sad cry and fainted directly.
"I'm going to kill you ungrateful thing!" After Lacey finished scolding, he directly possessed the martial soul and prepared to attack.
Wright didn't care about Reis's actions, but laughed and said, "Do you think I didn't know that Sophia went to you?" I deliberately let her go. When you enter the study, I also arranged for the housekeeper to induce you. Before I came in, I had the city guard surround it. Don't try to escape from the palm of my hand, you all have to bury the old immortal! Hahahaha! β
Wright quickly retreated when Reis attacked, and the four Soul Emperors also released their martial souls one after another to block Reis.
After the first blow, the two sides separated again.
Lacey stood in the courtyard, paying attention to the four Soul Emperors' every move.
The highest level of these four soul emperors is sixty-seven or eight, and the low one is also sixty-one and two, under the combination, although they can drag themselves, they will definitely not be their opponents, Lacey has this confidence!
Reis suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Do you think you can stop me with just these four Soul Emperors?"
"Ridiculous, do you think that's all I have to prepare? In addition to the 10,000 city guards outside, I still have 50,000 city guards in the entire Orlan City, and when you win a few soul emperors, can you still break out of the army formation composed of tens of thousands of people? Wright scoffed.
Seeing this, Ye Lan understood why the younger brother of the Grand Duke knew that Reis was a Soul Saint and had an excellent relationship with the Grand Duke, but he still dared to usurp the throne with a few Soul Emperors.
In addition to the high-end combat power that consumes Lacey's soul power, there is also a military formation composed of tens of thousands of people. With all the links interlocked, the threat of Lacey can definitely be dealt with.
Ye Lan looked at Reis, "General Reis, this time in order to help Miss Oran, not to mention delaying his trip, it seems that he has to put himself in, you can discuss with Miss Orlan when you go back and give us some honorarium, otherwise we will lose a lot!" β
Hearing this, Lacey smiled bitterly, "Ye Gongzi, I'm sorry to drag you down the quagmire, I will create a chance for you to escape in a while, and please take Sophia with you by the way." β
"Yes, I've got you covered!" Ye Lan said with a smile.
"How many little kids still want to run out of my army of 10,000 people? Pipe dream! Wright scoffed.
"Huh!"
Ye Lan sneered, and without saying much, he directly released the martial soul and revealed the soul ring.
"Soul King!? That's impossible! Everyone looked at Ye Lan in shock. Ye Lan looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old, he is the soul king at such a young age, and the soul ring is still extremely perverted yellow, purple, purple, black and black, this is simply a demon!
Seeing Ye Lan release the martial soul, Zhu Zhuqing was not to be outdone, and also turned on the martial soul.
"Ghost cat, possessed!"
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's four soul rings, everyone was shocked again.
Although weaker than Ye Lan, Zhu Zhuqing looks younger, and she looks like a girl about fifteen years old, which is not low in shock to everyone.
You must know that the Soul King of the Soul Sect is a big man in the entire territory of the Principality of Oran. There are no more than ten strong people above the Soul King, and no more than 30 Soul Sects, the youngest of whom are already forty or fifty years old.
Now seeing the teenage Soul Sect Soul King, Wright feels that he is in trouble, and Reth feels that Sophia is safe!
