Chapter 116: Timely
"You have to calm down! Liam! Lord Gofrey shouted, "You must remember that you are now the king of Gilneis!" You carry the expectations of 200,000 Gilneth people on your shoulders. Don't let hatred blind you. You look in the mirror and see what you have become of yourself! ”
Vincent Goldfrey reprimanded the new king with a tone of hatred. Liam's appearance is really worrying, if he has been carried away by hatred, God knows what he will do?
"I'm ......" Liam retorted for a moment, but the attendant did bring a mirror, and he saw himself in the mirror: his eyes were red, bloodshot inside, his eyes were deep, his face was haggard, and his hair and beard were messy like weeds. There were even some disgusting scourge monsters' blood and rotting soft tissues on their faces and hair.
He almost didn't recognize himself - was this half-human, half-ghost really himself?
Liam swallowed all his words back. He looked up and saw the people around him who were both worried and afraid of him, and saw the eyes of Gao Frey who hated iron but not steel, and he woke up from the deep hatred he had before.
"I see. I won't let you down! Liam nodded heavily, exhaling a cloudy breath in his chest and smiling for the first time in days, "Thank you, Lord Godfrey. If I do this next time, please make sure to bring me to my senses! ”
"I will." Goldfrey breathed a sigh of relief.
Liam turned around and shouted, "Keep reinforcing the fortifications!" We need to stop the natural disasters here, and we can't let them move forward! ”
The voice sounded hearty, and everyone regained confidence in the new king.
Compared to Goldfrey's relief, the other lord had a bad time. Hevers kept recalling the scene he had seen in the woods: the king's heart had been pierced by Ashbury and his body had been thrown off a cliff.
He had always believed that what he saw was real, but after investigating Gofrey, he told him that he might have been bewitched by the Scourge monsters.
Hevers felt Prince Liam's alienation and distrust, and even he began to wonder if he had actually seen the mirage. For he knew that such an act as Ashbury killing the king would only benefit the calamity.
So he began to hesitate. This made his mind very trance-like. Prince Liam is a little irrational because he is driven by hatred, and he is a little insane because of constant self-denial.
It wasn't until he saw the second fleet of ships that had landed, and there was a back he remembered vividly - he remembered that when he had withdrawn from Gilneworth with King Jean, the king had sent him to the Stormy Sea Cliffs to find the two lords Walden and Ashbury to rescue them. At that time, he saw the two lords personally send a man onto the ship. And the expressions of the two were respectful, obviously sending a big shot.
At that time, he was still a little curious, but the other party just said perfunctory. But now he saw that man again—Lordaeron's envoy, Obola Pullman!
Hewell will never forget Jì as a man. He followed the king and dealt with many foreign envoys. He couldn't be more familiar with a celebrity like Obole!
What does this mean?
Walden and Ashbury had secretly contacted the Alliance's envoys before this, and they had deliberately concealed them.
'Gilneth doesn't need a selfish and short-sighted king like you. The Alliance doesn't need an unreliable ally like you, either! ’
He remembered again what Ashbury had said when he had killed the king.
Hewell's whole body trembled, excited and terrified: he knew the most terrible truth - he was not deceived by illusions. It was Walden and Ashbury who conspired to kill King Jean! Or is it because of the secret command of the Alliance!
Even Lord Goldfrey was involved - because he sided with the two kingkillers, concealed the truth on their behalf, and deceived Prince Liam!
Oh my God, three of the four surviving nobles of Gilneth conspired to kill the king. Only he was kept in the dark and even framed!
With this group of traitors by his side, how dangerous is the situation of Prince Liam?
Hewer's whole body was cold, but his heart was on fire. As King Jean's most trusted confidant, it is necessary for him to protect the noble bloodline of the royal family of Greymane.
Those three shameful traitors must not be allowed to hold Prince Liam hostage!
With this in mind, and taking advantage of the rest after dinner, Herwell avoided the eyes of the others, brought Prince Liam out, and told him all the news he had seen and speculated.
"You're saying that Walden and Ashbury have been hooking up with the Alliance for a long time, and it's the League that wants to get rid of my father?" Liam stared at him with a stern look in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, Prince." Hewell was nervous and excited, "Lord Gofrey is also involved. He knows the truth for sure! But he chose to deceive! ”
Liam subconsciously couldn't believe the news, Lord Goldfrey had always been a loyal person to Gilneth in his impression, and he had worked hard all his life without stain. He even woke up Liam from his hatred today. How could he believe that this man would persecute his father?
Liam said in a deep voice, "You, go and bring Lord Gofrey here to confront you immediately. I'm going to hear him admit it to his face! He was in a state of confusion, and he had already sorted out this qiē during the day, but who knew that Hevers's words had overturned all the conclusions, and even brought out a more terrible plot than Ashbury's assassination of Jean.
Is this how Jean Greymane is grudged? The alliance can't tolerate him, and even his courtiers will betray him?
Liam doesn't believe it!
His father wasn't like that!
Then Hewell and Gofrey both appeared in front of Liam, he opened his eyes and stared at Gofrey tightly, not letting go of any subtle expression on his face: "Lord Gofrey, I have a question, you have to answer me truthfully - how did my father die?" I just want the truth! ”
Goldfrey's heart sank. Just now, Hevers said that he was going to take him to see Prince Liam, and when he found that the meeting place was avoiding outsiders, he realized that something was wrong.
He only felt extremely bitter. Is Gilneth destined not to escape this fate?
He couldn't lie anymore, and was about to admit it when a figure suddenly appeared next to them.
The three of them were immediately on alert—it was a glowing mass, and then it took on a human form, a young man with black hair that shone slightly.
After Jiang Weihan changed his mirror image, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: It's finally not too late!
His spirit had galloped all the way from Burning Wood Village to here, and the journey in between was no shorter than the last time from the Wraith Land to Silvermoon City. Luckily, I caught up!
He exuded his spirit infinitely along the way, and it was only then that he discovered the conversation between Hevel and Prince Liam along the way. Even he was terrified of its contents:
He was shocked when he got the news that King Jean had been assassinated by the Scourge, and who knew that he had heard another version here - that this king might have been assassinated by his own courtiers!
Jiang Weihan still remembered that there was indeed such a section in the original World of Warcraft. When the Cataclysm struck, the Wall of Greymane collapsed, and the civil strife caused by the rebels at the Northern Gate, led by General Darius Crowley, Gilneth was invaded by the Forsaken.
At this time, King Jean was still the same paranoid and arrogant and selfish character, which aroused the displeasure of the three lords of Ashbury, Walden, and Godfrey. They kidnapped King Jean and prepared to hand him over to the Forsaken Queen in exchange for peace.
However, the royal apothecary Cronan and Miss Gwen, loyal to King Jean, launched a rescue operation and sent the adventurer (Foot Man) to kill Ashbury and Walden, saving King Jean.
Lord Godfrey shouted angrily at Jean, "I'd rather die than be loyal to a king like you!" ”
Then he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Now that he had heard another version of the truth from Hevers, he immediately felt that it was more likely that Ashbury had assassinated him—after all, he had a criminal record!
As for Lord Goldfrey, he should have been in the know, and it is not clear whether he participated or not.
But in any case, if Goldfrey confessed here, wouldn't it be a confirmation of the Alliance's charge of directing them to kill King Jean? Jiang Weihan had met King Terenas, and although he was good at political methods, he was not a despicable and shameless person, and it would definitely not be possible to imply that someone else would kill his own king.
Then there's only one other enemy that's very good at this kind of trick - the Dreadlord!
Just as they wreaked havoc during their siege of the Psychic Academy, they also tempted/degraded Gavinrad. That's exactly what they do best!
