"The Dark Council, the Dark Council again!"

The Iliad VIII had just sent off Sean, the head of the Inquisition, and he was furious in the main hall, the dark council formerly known as the Council of Nobles, no matter how many times they launched a liquidation, the Iliad tried almost everything to suppress them, but they were always unable to know them completely, these stinky rats were able to predict their actions in advance every time, and each encirclement and suppression yielded little gain.

And in this way, they developed and grew under the eyelids of the Iliad VIII, and even broke into the interior of the Church of Light, and even the clergy in the Temple of Light were bought by them, and what about their own side? The Iliad looked at everyone around him and felt that they all had such suspicions, which terrified Iliad VIII, after all, these guys not only wanted to overthrow the Church of Light, but also wanted to push themselves off the throne.

As soon as Iliad VIII was excited, he coughed even more, he couldn't stop trembling, and the heavy wheezing sound made people feel that he was going to die in the next moment, and the Count Evans, who was standing on the side, immediately supported Iliad VIII, and the attendant who waved his hand immediately came over and brought the ivory cup on the side.

When he walked in, he exchanged eyes with Evans, tacitly lowered his head, served the Iliad VIII and drank the water and pills in the cup, and immediately saw that the Iliad's condition was much better.

The Iliad VIII calmed down and sat down: "I heard that this court physician is still the apprentice of the legendary Pol Klermo, and he was indeed taught by Mr. Klermo himself, if it weren't for his medical skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on to it." ”

It is now the twenty-first year of the Holy Calendar, and the Iliad VIII is already in his forties, but the old problems of the body have not been well treated, and some of the old ones are not in shape, even if the pastor of the church and the apprentices of Clermo are invited, they cannot be cured well, and can only maintain the status quo.

Evans immediately said: "This time the head of the Inquisition Division Sean arrived, the Knights of Light have crossed our border, if you add the garrison legion of Cardinal Leon stationed in our country, the troops they have mobilized this time have exceeded 40,000, and they are all elite troops, so we just let them do it within us, although it is said to be an investigation of the Dark Council, but who knows what their idea is." ”

Iliad VIII's face immediately showed a gloomy look, his relationship with the Church of Light has always been very delicate, relying on the power of the Church of Light and the support of him to come to power, he completely relied on the Church of Light to sit on the throne, but as the emperor of the Cretan Empire, he could not tolerate the Church of Light interfering too much in the internal affairs of the Cretan Empire, at least not beyond his authority as the emperor.

But this time the Church of Light's move was very crossed, the chief judge of the Judgment Division came in person, and the most elite Knights of Light directly entered the territory of the Cretan Empire without permission, and did not take him as the emperor in his eyes at all, which was part of the reason why he was angry just now, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

The Iliad VIII held back his anger: "Don't worry about them, the Church of Light has lost the sword of royal power this time, and the loss of the God-given thing has made Pope Hodup red-eyed, desperate, nothing can stop them." ”

After saying the words of Iliad VIII, he immediately turned into a sneer: "This time look at them losing the sword of royal power, the next coronation ceremony, how to proceed, Evans, you pay full attention to the actions of the Church of Light, this time the three saints are all gathered in our Cretan Empire, we must be cautious!" ”

Immediately after Evans left the palace, he encountered a carriage and a short-dressed coachman not far in front of the palace.

In the underground council hall, Evans hurried over, and saw that everyone present had already arrived, except for himself, all the four speakers of the Cretan Empire had arrived, and Evans immediately sat down.

"This time the Church of Light will definitely not give up, our actions have exceeded their bottom line, they will definitely not give up if they don't find the sword of royal power, and they have the awakening to destroy us, it is definitely not a small fight before."

"This operation is too risky, why do you want to do this, is it just for the simple rumor that the legendary sword of royal power has divine power? Even stealing the face of Pharos is better than stealing the sword of royal power! ”

"That's it, why such a big plan, but didn't remind us, only now do I know that the three saints, the most terrible Judge Division Director Sean came in person, together with the Knights of Light Legion, all entered the territory, and now everyone is panicking."

"It can't be said that the symbolism of the sword of royal power is much higher than that of Pharos, he represents the divine right of kings, if the sword of royal power is lost, the prestige of the Church of Light will suffer a major blow, and the next coronation ceremony will definitely be problematic."

The man at the top of the conference table spoke: "I decided, I have already launched the plan, this time, it will definitely succeed!" ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the black-cloaked man opposite Evans paused and choked up excitedly, "Has it started?" ”

Evans was also excited: "We have waited for more than twenty years, and finally waited for the opportunity, Iliad VIII has been in poor health recently, I will order them to increase the dose, Iliad VIII will definitely not survive this summer." ”

The man at the top of the conference table looked up, the hood on his head falling off, revealing a face that looked like that of the Iliad VIII, who turned out to be the younger brother of the Iliad VIII, Duke Voddigan.

According to legend, the leader and initiator of the Dark Council turned out to be the most trusted brother of the Iliad VIII, and the other people present showed their faces one by one, except for the Count Evans as the prime minister, all the people present were the most trusted ministers of the Cretan Empire Iliad VIII, and the few people present plus the Duke of Wodigan already represented the highest level of the Cretan Empire.

Duke Vodigan swept through everyone present, and finally stopped his gaze on Evans: "Evans, this time the three saints of the Church of Light are dispatched, and the sword of royal power is lost, the Cretan Empire needs to give them an explanation, we need a weighty person to stand up, attract their attention, and sacrifice for the council, at the same time, this is also a very important part of the plan, in the future, we will really come to the front of the stage, enter the next era, and the dark council will accompany you, the name of Count Evans, to the end." ”

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Evans, Evans immediately felt that something was wrong, it seemed that his presence today was a mistake, Evans never thought that he had always regarded others as sacrificial chess pieces, and today he would be in such a dilemma.

"No, you guys, you're kidding, aren't you!" Evans said in a curt, but the eyes of the others looked at him as cold as a cow or sheep to be slaughtered.

Evans was cold and tried to stand up, but suddenly he went limp, and he fell to the ground with his chair: "No, you can't do that. ”

Evans turned around and wanted to run, running towards the passage behind him, he wanted to get out of here, he wanted to expose His Majesty, he wanted these guys to know the price of betraying themselves!

Evans just got up, at this time, in the passage behind him, walked out of a thin woman, a pair of eyes that emitted a faint light, immediately hit Evans, Evans immediately body, immediately grabbed by the woman's neck, this emaciated woman actually raised him with one hand, Evans struggled, and couldn't get out.

"It's the wizard, the wizard, you found them again, you ......"

The woman stretched out her hand, and saw a black worm leap out of her hand, burrowing into Evans's ear, Evans screamed in horror, kept struggling, and fell to the ground, and finally the whole person's consciousness fell into darkness.

After a long time, I saw Evans get up from the ground, his eyes had lost his figure, and became empty and unfocused, Voddigan slapped his face and looked at the wizard: "The rest, I'll trouble you." ”
