Chapter 13: The Imperial Council
Right Imperial Castle, inside the restaurant on the second floor.
Su Xiao drank oatmeal porridge with a somewhat light taste, and his height was less than one meter seven, but Wu Fu, who was unusually stocky, was standing behind him.
"My lord, I have already chosen the people you want, let them in now?"
Seeing Su Xiao put down the bowl, Wu Fu opened his mouth at the right time.
"Yes."
"Come in."
As soon as Wu Fu's voice fell, three people walked into the restaurant, among the three people, one was wearing black armor, about two meters five high, and more than one meter three in width, the momentum was like a tank, and there was a thumping sound when walking, counting the weight of the armor, this guy's weight was at least 800 pounds or more.
On both sides of the black-armored creature tank, there stood a famous little fat man with a shiny face, and a young man with a thin face and a white face, the young man was full of messy black hair, except for his face, the exposed skin was full of black tattoos, most of which were formations of unknown meaning.
Wu Fu pointed to the Black Armor Creature Tank and said:
"My lord, this is No. 10, the empire has used the corpses of transcendents to conduct experiments, No. 10 is one of the winners of that experiment, the semi-mechanical structure, which makes him lose the ability to speak, no pain, counting the weight of the armor, his weight is 1165 pounds, and the brute force is enough to penetrate the eighty-centimeter-thick meath armor plate."
As he spoke, Wooder took out a strangely shaped key from his bosom and inserted it into Ten's arm.
Puff~
The steam gushed, and two red rays of light appeared under the No. 10 skull.
"It's activated, my lord, as long as it's something you ordered, even if it's to die, Ten won't hesitate."
Although Wu Fu had a smile on his face, his heart was painful to death, and the number ten was one of the killer weapons of his troops, and if he hadn't been in a hurry to show his loyalty, he wouldn't have taken it out at all.
Wooder turned his gaze to the chubby man.
"This is the Gray Mouse, he knows the Holy City well, and he was a scout of our army."
As soon as Wufer finished speaking, some chubby gray rats stepped forward.
"Hello adults, if there is anything needed, just give orders, and your subordinates will ......"
Before the gray mouse could finish speaking, Wolfer glared at him, and the gray mouse hurriedly stepped back with a sneer.
Wu Fu said in a low voice: "My lord, this is my distant relative, this kind of person, even the gray rat can't be completely trusted, this is the most credible person that his subordinates can find, you see......"
"That's it."
"Thank you, sir."
Wolfer glared at the gray mouse again, meaning, you be honest.
Wu Fu raised his head at the young man with black tattoos and said:
"The last one is Zos, he is a transcendent, the power of eternity is a dark character, he himself is not strong in combat, but he can manipulate animal minions."
Wolfer gave Zoth a look, who seemed reluctant, and the black mist surged in his hand, forming a vulture, which flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.
Wu Fu behind Su Xiao whispered:
"My lord, Zos is of a different race, but he grew up in the empire, this kid is a little rebellious, but his ability is undoubted, but sometimes he is more impulsive and puts himself in danger."
"Well, you can tell from the name."
Su Xiao felt that the name Zos was a little strange, and if he read it quickly, he would die.
Seeing these three people, Su Xiao couldn't help but think that in the eyeless squad in the ghost world, in terms of combat effectiveness, of course, these three people are stronger at the moment, as for appearance, Zos is definitely a representative of appearance, the kind that fascinates thousands of girls, as for No. 10, it is not bad if he does not scare civilians to the ground.
"These three people, are you still satisfied?"
ββ¦β¦β
Su Xiao held the water glass in his hand, and Wu Fu's words sounded a little strange.
"It's okay."
"Cut."
Zoth snorted and turned his head, but he didn't react, and Wuver stiffened in shock.
"Children have tempers, adults don't mind."
As soon as Wolfer's words fell, there was a knock on the door, it was Wooder's adjutant.
"Lord Duke, an emissary from the Imperial Diet."
"What's the matter?"
Of course, Su Xiao knew that the Imperial Parliament was not the formal power department of the empire, but the power was above the Senate and the royal family.
The Imperial Council consisted of four people: Elder Bloomer, Princesse Shayeto, Duke Silverfeather, and the Younger Duke, who was only nine years old.
At present, there is no king in the empire, and if there is an important matter, it is decided by the imperial parliament after deliberation, and because of the laws set by the black king, it cannot become a formal power department, but it has the greatest power.
"The messenger has come to invite Princess Pedella to join the Imperial Council."
The adjutant spoke with a beaming face, but his commander, Wooder, had a gloomy face.
"My lord, this is not ......"
"I know."
Su Xiao didn't have to think about it to know who did it, after last night's assassination, Bloomer already knew that Princess Pedela's ascendancy could not be stopped, and instead of waiting for Su Xiao to quickly grow his power in the dark, it was better to push Su Xiao directly to the table.
In this way, Su Xiao's opponents have changed from one to four, and those four people will not allow the new opponent to grow quickly, they can't help each other, but they don't want to see the emergence of the new opponent.
If you don't go, it's even worse, the Imperial Council doesn't dare to join if you take the initiative to invite, just ask, those officials in power will move closer to Princess Pedela? This is almost equivalent to voluntarily giving up on growth.
"What time is the invitation?"
"Eight o'clock in the morning."
Hearing this, Wu Fu's face behind Su Xiao became even more ugly, and it was already seven thirty o'clock.
This is the terrible thing about the community of interests, Wu Fu is not loyal to Su Xiaoduo, but Su Xiao holds Wu Xiao's economic lifeline, so Wu Fu is so concerned about Su Xiao's affairs.
For most people in power, loyalty is only temporary, and coexistence of interests is a more reliable relationship.
"Got it, Wolfer, the manor is over to you, you three, come with me."
Su Xiao got up and walked outside the restaurant, and at the same time contacted Bu Bu Wang, who was indeed busy, and there were four targets it needed to monitor.
Su Xiao did not bring Princess Pedella, but called the old god stick to go to the Imperial Council together, as far as Princess Petella's little white rabbit character is concerned, when facing the four power grabbers, she may be so nervous that she can't even speak, and it is enough for her to be in charge of Meimeida.
β¦β¦
In the heart of the Holy City, inside a magnificent hall.
There is a round metal table in the main hall of the main hall, the table is pitch black, the sculpture of the Eye of Power in the center gives people a sense of majesty, there are a total of twelve chairs next to the table, and there are already four people sitting at this time, and these four people are not close to each other.
A little boy in a black and red robe, with long black hair on his feet, rested his feet on the table, he seemed to have not woken up, and from time to time he sighed, this was the little duke.
The Duke of Silver Feather on the side was about thirty years old, with a mustache on his chin and a smile on his face at all times.
Opposite the two of them was a woman wearing soft leather and red armor with short silver hair.
As for the last one, it was Bloommer, the old fox who wore symptoms and rubbed his temples with both hands.
These four people are now the highest power system of the empire, and now, they are about to join forces to get rid of one person, and the other party only took one day to seize 540,000 military power, plus the support of Wang Nu Ken Rahan, and also made a princess as a puppet, and what's more, the other party is also a royal family.
"Bloomer, are you sure it's okay to do this? I don't trust you. β
The little duke spoke, although he looked old, but in the eyes of the other three, this was naΓ―ve, without the remains of the other party's father, the little duke would have died in the stinky ditch.
"Oh."
Bloomer replied casually and continued to rub his temples, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with the little brat.
Da, da, da......
The sound of footsteps came from outside the main hall, and the four of them all turned their eyes and looked at the comer, and all four of them were momentarily surprised.
It was Su Xiao who walked into the main hall, and blood stains could be seen on his clothes
"It's late, I was assassinated on the way, but fortunately I was escorted by Ken Rahan."
Su Xiao was indeed assassinated, and it was still on the street, and what surprised him even more was that there were actually five groups of assassins in a row.
