384, the confrontation of the royal court
"Let the brothers rest for a while, and wait for me to pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Du Teng walked to the main building of the royal court and said to the guards beside him.
"As you wish."
The guard nodded and stepped back.
Du Teng watched him leave, then straightened his clothes and strode into the main building of the royal court where Jean lived.
It was a super-large castle-shaped structure, much like the one where Duten lived, except on a larger scale and several huge towers. After all, Jean is the king, and Duten is just a prince at the moment.
Under the respectful gaze of the guards guarding the door, Duten strode into the hall, where Jean Greymane sat on the throne and several of the great nobles of the kingdom sat on either side, apparently waiting for him.
"Father." Duten bowed to Jean Greyman, who was sitting on the throne, then nodded to the ministers sitting on either side, and then sat in the first seat on the left.
Here is the position reserved for him as a prince, representing his identity.
"Arugao is dead?"
Jean looked at his son condescendingly and asked in a deep voice.
The question seemed pointless, after all, they had discussed the killing of Arugo, and he had acquiesced at the time. It has been two days since Du Teng strangled Arugao, he is not the kind of puppet emperor in ancient China, he has a lot of power and a lot of eyeliner in the country, and now he suddenly asks this question, obviously Du Teng needs to make an explanation to the ministers and nobles present.
"That's right, father, Arugao is dead. I'm sure everyone understands that he plotted to overthrow the rule of the Greymane family, trying to use the curse of werewolves to control all the people of the entire kingdom, so he deserves to die. ā
Du Teng owed his body and said in a heavy voice.
"So, Your Highness the Prince, can you describe in detail the dangers of the werewolf curse? I've heard that you've captured two werewolves and put them in your guard camp. If you think the power of werewolves is dangerous, why should you preserve it? Wouldn't it be better to destroy it directly? ā
It was Viscount Albert who spoke, who had never had much power in the kingdom, but because he was a member of the nobility, he was qualified to appear here. In the past, he was one of the few people who had a good relationship with Arugao, and it was difficult to say whether he knew about the werewolf or not, but now he jumped out and directly questioned Du Teng, which is very problematic.
Du Teng glanced at him more, and then looked at the others, some showed curious looks, some showed inquiring looks, and some showed contemplative looks, obviously everyone actually had more or less until some news, but some people understood more comprehensively, while some people understood more one-sidedly.
Duten looked at everyone around him, and everyone looked at him, including Jean on the throne, and it was clear that everyone was waiting for his answer.
Having organized the language in his head, Du Teng cleared his throat.
"In fact, the curse of the werewolf is a very dangerous force. This power comes from the god of the wilderness, Lagash Godling, a wolf demigod who has existed since time immemorial. As far as I know, the distant relatives of the High Elves, the Night Elves in the far western continent, have all used its powers, so the so-called werewolves are actually wild druids in a sense, not much different from the druids in the form of giant bears and cheetahs.
The only difference is that Godring's power is too wild and very difficult to control. Even the druids, who had mastered the power of nature, still couldn't control the bloodthirsty desires that came from the power of the wolf god. Therefore, this part of the druids is very dangerous, so some of the druids who have mastered this part of the power have been imprisoned in the Emerald Dream Realm, and some have been expelled by the Night Elves.
Now let's talk about the werewolf curse we're facing......"
Du Teng clapped his hands as he spoke, and a guard who had been waiting outside entered the hall with a small box, walked quickly in front of him, put the box in front of him, and then left quickly.
After Du Teng waited for the guards to leave, he opened the box and took out a book from it.
"The Book of your, which I found from Arugao's belongings, is from a Kenrito mage who is well versed in shadow magic and werewolf studies, and everyone knows that Arugao was a member of Kenrito before. So how the book got into his hands is not much to say than I am. I would like to say that his method of summoning werewolves comes from this book of your. It describes in detail the power of werewolves, their summoning, and how to control them. I have to say that the mage who wrote this book is a talent, and he actually found a solution to something that a huge druid team like the Night Elves couldn't handle.
Unfortunately, this kind of research itself is still very insufficient, and Arugao's own strength is also a problem, coupled with his ambition that is completely inconsistent with his strength, has created the current werewolf curse. In fact, I want to say that this force is not completely incomprehensible, Viscount Albert, you just questioned my behavior, I believe that you are for the people of this country and the kingdom, but in the future I hope that you should have some understanding before asking questions. Not only do you have to know what it's all about, but also who you're dating.
The power of the demigod Godlin is definitely not the power of evil. In ancient times, as one of the strongest men in this world, he bravely faced the Burning Legion and gave his life. The reason why the werewolf curse is dangerous is that its power is too strong for ordinary people to control, and it is also because of Arugao's relationship, the werewolf he summoned is actually from the Emerald Dream Realm. Those are all crazy druids who can't control their inner anger, and from their power, they are naturally very dangerous.
But there is no good or evil power, just like the power of shadow, and if a respected priest uses the power of shadow, then this power is the wrath of the Light. Conversely, if it is a demon who uses the power of shadow, then this power is the demon's smile. Therefore, how to use this power is very important. The reason why I left those two werewolves behind was not to develop my own power privately, don't forget, I am the prince of this kingdom, to put it mildly, the future of this kingdom is mine, why should I do more?
Viscount Albert, your worries are very unnecessary, you must not know that the Burning Wood Village, Anhador, and the castle of Viscount Sivalen, which have been abandoned by us, have all been infiltrated by the power of werewolves, and the people of the original kingdom living there have all been infected with the power of werewolves and turned into dangerous beasts. I left these two werewolves behind to find a way to control this power and save these innocent people from madness! ā
Du Teng had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on his face, and the words he said made the eyes of the people around him straighten.
What he thinks in his own heart, only he knows. Although many people did not believe what he said, they could not refute it, because Du Teng's position was too upright, and those who opposed him did not ignore the people of the kingdom. Although those people are all the people who have been abandoned by the kingdom, and those people probably don't have any feelings for the Kingdom of Gilneth anymore, but depending on how to say this, anyway, at this moment, this thunder, no one will want to try it.
Seeing that the people in the room were silent, Duten decided to strike while the iron was hot and looked at Jean on the throne.
"Father, the strength of a werewolf is a very powerful force, even an ordinary person, as long as he becomes a werewolf, his combat power can surpass that of a trained warrior. I was able to easily defeat those four werewolves because I used special skills, but ordinary soldiers definitely don't have the same skills as me, so if ordinary soldiers faced werewolves, maybe three or four people would not be the opponent of one werewolf.
We have just experienced the attack of the undead of the natural calamity, and the people of the country have suffered heavy casualties, and if there is another enemy invasion, it will be difficult for us to defend. So there is a part of Arugao's plan that is very desirable, since we can't mobilize more soldiers, why not increase the strength of the soldiers? As long as we can control the power of the werewolves, and keep all the people who have turned into werewolves awake, why don't we use this powerful power? ā
Du Teng's words once again attracted everyone's attention, and after a large series of explanations from Du Teng before, most of them have more or less accepted Du Teng's plan when they listen to Du Teng's plan now.
Of course, some people accept it, and naturally some people oppose it.
Viscount Albert, who had just been warned, was obviously not so easy to give up.
"What His Royal Highness the Prince said is really very good, and the plan is also very moving, so I would like to ask, how does His Royal Highness ensure that this force can be controlled? You say that Arugao plans to subvert the kingdom, and I won't explain it to him, but since he has been studying werewolves privately for so long and can only control some of them, why is His Royal Highness sure that he can control all the people of the entire kingdom? ā
Viscount Albert's words were quite harsh, and he pointed out that Du Teng wanted to "control" the kingdom and deliberately distorted his meaning.
Du Teng sneered when he heard this, and looked at Viscount Albert as if he was looking at a dead man. In fact, in his mind, Albert was already a dead man. For a nobleman who never appeared in the original book at all, and there were no famous descendants, he had lost the last shred of perfunctory patience.
"Viscount Albert, I don't know if you have a bad ear or a bad brain, or ...... Is it deliberately trying to justify the conspiracy of traitors? Whatever you want, I repeat, my goal is to make the power itself controllable, so that the people who have become werewolves can regain their senses, not control them. As for how I'm going to do this, there's no suitable method yet, so I'll capture those two werewolves, and I'll use them to study specific control methods...... Stop, I know what you're trying to say, but I'm sorry, if there is no way to bring them back to their senses, then these two werewolves are just two beasts, I won't treat them as human beings, correspondingly, if there is a foolproof method, then they will be the project of the entire kingdom, for the kingdom, sacrifice the lives of a few people, I can do it completely, it's a big deal to let me memorize it, I don't care.
On the contrary, it is you, Viscount Albert, who have repeatedly defended Arugao, what is your purpose? I don't believe your friendship with him can be so strong, could it be that you are his comrade? His plot to overthrow the kingdom, is Viscount Albert also involved? ā
Du Ten looked at Viscount Albert diagonally opposite and sneered.
"Nonsense! You're slandering! My relationship with Arugao is just ordinary dating, and I have nothing to do with his conspiracy! I just can't be confident about your plan, so I just made a few more comments, and you just can't accept any ...... who disagree with you when you say that now."
"Enough is enough!!"
Jean, who had not spoken, suddenly burst into a loud cry and interrupted Viscount Albert.
I can't let him continue, and if he continues, it will be too ugly to hear, and it will easily cause turmoil among other nobles. As Duten said, although Gilneth is not stormy, it is definitely a domestic and external difficulty, and any turmoil may lead to the collapse of the kingdom, so he cannot allow any dangerous situation to happen.
"Come on, take Viscount Albert down to rest, there have been a lot of things in the kingdom lately, and you're tired. Let's go and take a break first, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later. ā
Jean waved his hand, and the guard next to him came up, and without saying a word, he carried Viscount Albert down. As he walked, he covered his mouth and didn't let him speak.
The other nobles sat there, the little nobles were silent, and the big nobles were hanging their eyes and sleeping, as if they hadn't seen Viscount Albert, and let him be taken down.
After the-stirring stick left the hall, Jean looked at Duten, at his "son".
"Your plan is good, but as Viscount Albert just said, there are still many key issues that have not been resolved. I'll keep an eye on you until these issues are resolved, and you must ensure that the werewolf's power does not leak out, otherwise it will ......"
"I understand, father, you just look at my performance."
Du Teng hurriedly stood up and promised.
"Good, if nothing else, then we'll ......"
"Father, I have another request, I hope to be able to lead a team out and reclaim the land we once lost, and at the same time investigate the castle of Viscount Sivalenne to see how many werewolves there are inside, these werewolves are also very unstable in the wild, if they are allowed outside, it is very likely that the power of werewolves will infiltrate. Until we find a way to control it, we should put an end to all signs of danger! ā
Once again, Duten stepped forward.
This time there was no one to oppose his plan, and Jean looked at him for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Yes, I agreed." (To be continued.) )
