Chapter 137: The Emperor and His Courtiers
Lisner, the ruler of the empire's first merchant family, walked up the steps leading to the emperor's residence with awe and respect.
On both sides of the road, heavily armed knights stood straight with spears in hand, the sunlight reflecting the brilliance of the silver-white armor, and the immovable scenery would even make people think they were statues.
The atmosphere here is solemn and no violations are allowed...
But when Lisner stepped up the last staircase and strolled into the magnificent building, darkness covered the room.
The atmosphere became sluggish.
Because no matter how awe-inspiring it looks on the outside, it still can't hide a fact.
The fact that the emperor had little time left, old age and illness had made the legendary emperor very tired.
"Your Highness." After stepping into the center of the hall, Lisner knelt down on one knee and lowered his forehead, not looking at the man sitting in front of him.
"Stand up, Lisner. Claure......"
The tired voice sounded a little weak, and the emperor showed his true side in front of Lisner without reservation.
Unlike the majesty of the outside world.
When Lisner was allowed to stand up, he looked at the king who was sitting on the throne and full of hair, the age looked no more than thirty years old, but on that slightly lazy face, there was a kind of courage that made Lisner dare not look directly, he was now like a lion quietly waiting for death, squinting his eyes slightly, and he was able to do his best to make a last fight.
Once upon a time, the emperor who reached the world and ruled the world with the blade of the sword now has no original sharpness.
When Lisner was looking at Emperor Dodran XXI, a pair of equally sharp eyes were also fixed on Lisner...... Lesner instantly felt that his whole body was locked, and he couldn't hide from anywhere he fled......
"Long time no see, Lord Don Quixote."
With a smile on his face, Lisner replied to the young man standing beside the emperor, dressed in pitch-black knight's armor and with the same short black hair.
First Horseman......
With the power of the fifty-ninth floor of the top tower, you can have combat power that is not weaker than that of a saint.
If Dotland the Great was the ruler of the country, then the First Knight was the sharpest sword in the ruler's hand, capable of piercing anything......
No one knew the origin of the first knight, who had quietly appeared at the emperor's side more than ten years ago, when the courtiers found out about the knight's existence......
It was also he who broke through the top tower of the fifty-ninth floor in one minute, breaking the super record of his ancestors breaking through the top tower in 762 hours.
There was no one in the world who was not shocked, and since then he has been inseparable from the emperor, and with this sharpest sword in his hand, no one dares to offend the majesty of the emperor.
Not a saint but beyond the existence of a saint.
Because the mentor of his own son was this knight, Lisner was quite familiar.
Don Quixote nodded to Lisner, and then pushed to the emperor's side, where he had no place to speak, as the emperor's weapon, all he had to do was kill the enemy......
Lisner and Dodran looked at each other again.
"Lisner... How long have I known you? β
It was not an inquiry between a courtier and an emperor, but a conversation between old friends.
However, Lisner and Dodrand XXI were indeed old friends......
"Twenty-seven years, Your Highness, when you and I were both the chief students of the Imperial Royal Knight Academy, we fought in the ring in order to compete for Minar, that is, your Royal Highness the Queen, and in the end you won by a sword."
"Heh, don't mention the messy things I met with you."
"Yes......" Lisner mentioned these old events, and his tone was still so flat.
"Do you still hate me?"
"There is resentment, but ...... hatred" Lisner shook his head: "It's just that my strength is not as good as yours, and defeat is a stage that must be passed in life, and that fiasco made me grow up very quickly." β
"As a result, he has now grown into the patriarch of a family that can compete with the imperial family?"
Dodran continued to speak without scruples......
This emperor's surname is like this, if he were not to be the emperor so as not to affect the majesty of the royal family, he might go to the waves of the world, and he was full of bad words in private, and when he was young, he also provoked a lot of enemies, but Dodlan was talented and convinced those who sought revenge.
He is not fit to be emperor.
Lissner had heard Dotland complain about it.
His greatest wish is to be an explorer, a mercenary, and travel to every corner of the world... Then soak in every region of the world with different styles of girls.
Although Lisner was suspicious that Dodland's original purpose was to make up girls... After opening a big one. Gong, not to be a mercenary, but fate did not allow this noble-born emperor to do such a vulgar profession as a mercenary.
What do you mean? I don't understand......" Lisner replied indifferently.
"Lisner, don't pretend! I got Mina, and you're still thinking about it, aren't you?! Now your curse has come true! Mina and my heirs all passed away due to the riot of several monsters......"
"......" Lisner was silent for a moment, he felt that now was not the time to open his mouth and contradict the emperor, because whatever he said would put himself in a disadvantageous position.
Maybe God played a joke and accidentally misplaced the souls of Lisner and Dodran when they were reincarnated.
Compared to Dotland's surname, Lisner is more like a king who has everything in his hands.
"What's the deal with your 'allow me to make a sad face'?"
Dodran continued to run the train with his mouth full, and even though he was sick and old, he didn't stop this habit.
"I ......" Lisner, who was expressionless, was really speechless in the face of this kind of questioning.
"Now it's a very serious question, Lisner!" Dodran looked him straight into Isnner's eyes: "You can choose to remain silent now, but your every word will be turned into evidence!" I warn you, if people don't die, they won't die, what did you do when you went to bury Jincheng? β
Finished......
Lisner should have rushed to meet with Emperor Dotland in time for today's Council of Ministers......
Because when all the courtiers of the empire are present, this emperor will show the majesty that an emperor should have!
Now it's completely in a state of running a train with a full mouth.
This is the most terrifying thing about this emperor.
"Just to buy some Jincheng metallurg......ical liquor," Lisner replied.
"As the patriarch of the Crow family, you personally went to buy a few bottles of red wine and went out on this long trip? Fool whom? β
ββ¦β¦β
I don't speak......
Lisner chose to remain silent again.
......Seeing Lisner's silence, Dodland leaned back in his chair a little weakly.
"Does Isnaqing know?" Dodran calmed down his inner mood and changed into the calm emperor again: "You are the first friend in my life, and the first opponent I face, but I don't want you to become an enemy......
"It's... Your Royal Highness, I don't mean to be your enemy. β
I just want to kill you, Lisner really doesn't dare to be an enemy of the royal family, as long as the strongest knight is by his side.
"Don't want to be my enemy?" Dodran began to hold back again: "You should know that I have a lovely daughter, right?" β
"I learned the news a few days ago, and now I have become your heir, Her Royal Highness the Queen."
"Then tell me what hardships my daughter encountered on the way to recognize my father! It's no different from the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty, okay? Let's not mention the Warcraft siege incident that buried the Golden City! The point is that the damned ghosts of the "Undertaker", the Dark Brotherhood-like Assassin Order, have been eyeing my daughter several times in a row......"
"......" Lisner couldn't understand the nouns in Dodland's mouth, and continued to be silent.
The intelligence network of the royal family is not much worse than that of the Claure family, and what the Claure family knows, the royal family must know first!
"The attack on the airship is also a 'mourner', and it is also possible that the burial of the gold city was caused by the mourner......"
Dodran stared at Lisner.
"The surname of a princess, I don't think the price will be low, at that time, in that place, only you can pay for the bargaining chips for the assassination of the princess, so there has always been only one truth, right?"
"Your Highness, your reasoning has never been right......"
"! Do you want to say that I didn't find out the murderer of Minal's ** disappearance case' in the end? Don't mention it! This case has not been closed until now, and now that Minal has passed away, let it disappear into the long river of history. β
How is it possible to find out the murderer!
Because the murderer is you!
If it weren't for the face of the royal family, you would have been guillotined by the ** thief, but you are the daughter of the Grand Duke.
Lisner really burst into tears when she heard this, when she was still young, she was dragged by this thing to do some unbelievable things in the dormitory of female students......
Lisner was pulled onto the thief ship, so he didn't dare to say it...... As a knowledge**.
"Now let's get down to business, we're both old gentlemen, and gentlemen should face their hearts, right? Lisner, don't worry, if you admit it, I will take care of my past friendship with you, and only copy your whole family, but I will not kill your whole family...... This is already a very merciful choice, as a guy who offended my own daughter, there is no way to extinguish the anger of being a father. β
Hearing these words, Lisner thought carefully that it was better not to talk to this mad emperor.
"Your Highness, if you insist that I am a murderer, please give an order, there will be no complaints, but please hope that you will spare my heir......"
Instead of evading it, Lisner chose to accept the punishment.
Seeing Lisner's calm appearance, Dodran laughed.
"I really can't convict you of a capital crime, but don't underestimate the anger of the emperor accused by a daughter, Li Snaqing will tell you a wise saying!" Before you shoot, you must have the consciousness to be killed'! The murderer will be killed...... Before you come to your senses, never, never try to challenge the continuation of the Dotland Empire, because Uncle Ben didn't have a ** empire at the beginning, you... Far from qualified. β
An emperor ** his own empire?
Lisner knew that it was just the boy who rebelled against the royal family for his own **, but in the end, I don't know why, this naΓ―ve and frivolous teenager grew up overnight, put on the emperor's new clothes, and under the support of the knights, under the attention of everyone in the world, ascended to the throne and ruled the world.
"Understood." After making a promise, Lisner was allowed to leave. (To be continued.) )
