Chapter 176: The Returning Evil Ghost
Lu Zhiyu and Eva stood in the crowd, watching the brown-haired middle-aged knight riding a tall horse, with his spine straightened to maintain his majesty and imposingness, crossing the central King's Avenue and heading towards the palace, with a lot of noise on both sides, everyone constantly crowding towards the front, wanting to see the legendary Templars and the orc cavalry of the North.
"Master, do you know the person in front of you?" While everyone was focused on the Orc Cavalry and the Templars, Eva was not the same as the Landing Fish's expression.
Lu Zhiyu tilted his head and looked at Eva: "You know me quite well!" Can you guess by looking at my expression? ”
Eva nodded: "Because when you're fine, master, you always smile, and when you have something on your mind or fall into a memory, it seems more plain." ”
Lu Zhiyu was unhappy: "Huh? I laugh so sincerely, how can it be in your mouth, it seems to be very hypocritical. ”
Eva didn't speak, but acquiesced, and Lu Zhiyu rolled his eyes: "A long time ago, I did see it, but at that time, he was just a very young man, but ......." ”
Lu Zhiyu was silent for a long time, playfully watching Aaron Evans pass in front of him, but he didn't lower his head at all while riding on the war horse to notice Lu Zhiyu and Eva, Lu Zhiyu watched Aaron Evans go in the direction of the palace, and finally spoke.
"This time the Cretan Empire, it seems that it is estimated that it will not be calm!"
Lu Zhiyu met Aaron Evans back then, when he was still a guard of the Elias merchant group, because he was pitied by Elias, the young man who enjoyed the food was not yet twenty years old, and he had a vicissitudes of life, and now he is past middle age, but he looks more restrained and sharp, like a long sword out of the sheath.
Elias, the owner of the Elias Merchant Order, an old friend of the land fish, has long since died, and he has become a Templar of the Holy Seville Empire in the orc kingdom, the captain of the Northern Legion, and the leading figure in the orc kingdom.
And if you look into his identity carefully, you will know that he is the youngest son of Count Evans, the former prime minister of the Cretan Empire, Count Evans was a very influential figure in the Cretan Empire when he was the Iliad VII, and the Iliad VIII became the emperor of the Cretan Empire, which can be said to be the Count Evans's great efforts, of course, he also got a rich report, and throughout the Iliad VIII era, he was the prime minister of the Cretan Empire, standing at the top of the Cretan Empire.
However, he participated in the Council of Nobles and launched a conspiracy against the Church of Light, but in the end, because of the betrayal of Archduke Vodigan, he became a substitute for the dead, Archduke Vodigan successfully ascended to the position of emperor, and Count Evans died with Iliad VIII, the whole family was slaughtered, leaving only two sons, the eldest son Pazaka also suffered an accident in the Orc Empire, and finally only the young Aaron Evans remained.
Aaron Evans has been haunted by countless dreams and returned to the city of Nia in his childhood, where he grew up, but at the same time, it was also the origin of his nightmares and the place that woke him up from horror countless times.
Looking at this city of Nia, the scenes in the memory come to mind one by one, compared with the memories of childhood, time has passed for decades, and the changes that have taken place in the past few decades have made countless buildings in the city renovate and rebuild, which is very different, even this King's Road can be widened, but it can still be found from it, faint memories.
Aaron Evans had wondered countless times what he would be like when he returned here. But he never thought that he would enter the city of Dunia in the Cretan Empire as an envoy of the Orc Empire.
At this moment, he is not a returning wanderer, but a complete outsider, he represents not a human being, but an orc empire, which is really ironic, and the changing world will always give people the most mocking ending.
"The one at the front, the orc's Templar, doesn't seem to be an orc!"
"I heard that the messenger this time is a human!"
"How is that possible? How could a human become a lackey of the Orc Empire. ”
"What else? For the sake of power, some people, for the sake of power, even their parents can be betrayed, so what's so strange about being a lackey for orcs! ”
Aaron Evans led the horse, and in the midst of speculation and doubts all over the city, he finally arrived at the door of the palace, and Aaron Evans's eyes were also gloomy and dark, looking at the tall and majestic palace hall, as well as the prosperous and glorious city of Nia.
Aaron Evans remembered the dead faces of his father, uncle, aunt, mother, brother, each of them with blood on their faces, so that he had never forgotten the damage inflicted on their Evans family by the Cretan Empire and the Church of Light of the previous Emperor Wardigan.
Aaron Evans remembers how Voddigan stepped on the corpses of the Evans family and ascended to the throne of the emperor, and the Knights of Light of the Church of Light pursued and killed the three of them, forcing them to flee all the way to the orc empire, and finally the mother gave up her own way of life in order to save the lives of the two brothers.
Carved into Aaron Evans's heart like a knife, this is the driving force for him to keep moving forward, he has been latent for decades, living alone in a foreign land for decades, and has been waiting for this moment.
At this moment, entering Crete Didunia, crossing the King's Road, and watching the royal palace appear in front of his eyes little by little, the corners of Aaron Evans's mouth continued to rise, and his originally high head was lowered, reciting what he said when his mother and brother died and buried his brother.
"When I return, darkness will fall over the entire Cretan Empire, and the earth will roar and blood will soak the land!"
The closer he got to the palace, the more kind the smile on Aaron Evans's face became, and the horse was stopped at the palace gate, where, on the steps, the chancellor of the Cretan Empire, Tambur, came to receive him personally.
Aaron stretched out his hand, all the knights moved in unison, and at the same time dismounted, Aaron took off his gloves and walked up the steps, all the way to the Imperial Prime Minister Tambur who was waiting above.
"Hello, Paladin Aaron, His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for your audience inside." Tamble is a middle-aged fat man, but he is personable, and when it comes to receiving people and things, he doesn't see any problems.
Aaron Evans glanced at Tamble and understood that this person was the current person in the Cretan Empire, who really held the power, and even compared to King Zolman II, what he said was more useful in the Cretan Empire.
"Duke of Tambur, our Holy Seville Empire is here with friendship this time, hoping to resolve the dispute over border trade, as well as some friction between the two countries, this is a win-win and win-win move, and I hope to be able to get the support of the Duke." Aaron shook hands with Tamble.
Duke Tambur said calmly: "Of course, His Majesty the Emperor also hopes to be a friend of the Holy Seville Empire, and His Majesty has specially held a banquet for you in the evening, and I hope you will also be able to attend at that time." ”
Aaron Evans nodded happily and continued, "It's a great honor! ”
"Well, His Majesty the Emperor is waiting inside!"
