Chapter 552: Investigation
"This is information about the Five Nations Alliance, when I saw the secret discussion between the king and the queen in the palace today, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I asked the female official to secretly copy it."
Oscar chuckled.
He understood very well that the reason why the old Duke of Manton arranged for him to serve in the palace was not to capture the queen's heart, but to obtain favorable information in an open and honest manner. After all, in terms of generation, the queen is still Oscar's aunt.
Oscar is very young, and he still has half of Peter's royal blood. In fact, his uncle, the son of the old duchess of Manton, was born barren...... That is, he is already the only heir to the Duke of Manton.
It seems that it is also possible to have a part of the succession to the throne after Queen Yuro is pulled off the horse.
As long as you become the lord of the country of Tempest Nia, what is the chosen city, what is the king's earl, and when it comes to the best, it is not to bow down?
"Grandpa, in my opinion, this is a good opportunity." Oscar squinted and said, "The negotiation of the five-nation alliance is the best time. If something happens to the queen during the negotiations, we can blame the other four countries. When the time comes, the eldest prince can even inherit the imperial power in the name of his son-in-law. When everything is on track, the whole kingdom will be yours with your grandfather. ”
Unexpectedly, the Duke of Manton, who should have been very happy in his mind, snorted coldly at this moment and threw away the information.
Pages of papers spread across Oscar's face, leaving him at a loss.
"Idiot! Are you an idiot? The Duke of Manton sneered, "How stupid is your head to come up with such an idea that does all kinds of harm and no benefit?" So many years of cultivation. Have I cultivated it all in dogs? ”
Facing Duke Manton's questioning, Oscar looked ugly and hurriedly said, "Grandpa." You're ......"
"Don't call me! I don't have an idiot-like grandson like you! Duke Manton shook his head and said with a look of disgust: "The alliance of the five nations is to fight against the barbarians. It is even possible to go on the offensive to the extent of a counteroffensive. If the queen dies at this juncture, the country is in turmoil, and the alliance is not formed, what will we use to resist the invasion of the barbarians? Even if you get the wind nia, what's the use of being just a king of a dead country? You're simply the best idiot I've ever met! ”
"I... I know I'm wrong. Oscar bowed his head. Don't dare to look at the angry Duke of Manton.
"Forget it, it's good to be able to know about the Dao in advance." Duke Manton shook his head, "If there's nothing to do, you can go back to the palace." Don't run here twice in three days and let people see the gossip. ”
"Yes."
It wasn't until this grandson left disappointed that the Duke of Manton sneered: "Another thing that doesn't know whether to live or die...... But leave it at that, I don't have that much time to manage those boys. ”
The deputy commander who came in high spirits. In the end, he went to the location of the palace in despair. There was a look of chagrin on his face. In fact. After leaving the manor, Oscar couldn't help but regret his recklessness. He clearly understood the reasonableness of what the Duke of Manton had said. It's just that I'm too anxious that it's likely to be in my own huge power.
"It's all that guy's fault."
A wonderful hatred arose...... Or maybe the seeds of hatred have been planted since the ice peaks passed not long ago. The knight who is called the most promising knight in the royal city, and the noble son with a bright tomorrow, really can't stand the other party's gaze that doesn't take him seriously at all.
Oscar clearly understands that this is a jealousy.
He is not jealous of the city lord of the Chosen City, and he is jealous of the other party's young age, but he has the ability to overwhelm him.
Jealousy breeds hatred, but the flame of hatred burns wildly without realizing it. Exposed, his face gloomy.
The deputy commander on a fast horse galloped through the streets of the royal city. Ignore the frightened residents.
"What a good carrier."
In the gloomy alley, a pair of gray-white eyes looked at the figure riding by, and disappeared into the alley with a sly smile, but a moment later, it reappeared in front of Oscar's route.
The man wore a gray cloak that covered his entire body and face. At this moment, its arm suddenly stretched out, and a small stone popped out of its finger, and it shot into the horse's leg at once.
The stone pierced the horse's retreat, causing the horse to fall to its knees, and Oscar, who was out of balance, had to be thrown forward. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and did not make a fool of himself. After successfully landing, the deputy commander's eyes were like falcons, and he quickly searched for a figure in the shadows.
was already evil, but now he is being attacked by unknown people, where can the young and vigorous noble son endure it? I saw Oscar draw his sword, jump out of the crowd of onlookers with a jump, and chase the back.
"Stop!" Oscar shouted angrily.
But the figure clearly ignored it, and only absconded to a place where there were few people without saying a word.
Oscar hurriedly used the power of the sword, strengthened the strength of his legs, and in a blink of an eye, he overtook this figure, blocked it with a horizontal sword, and said coldly: "I told you to stop, didn't you hear it?" ”
"Stop? I'm not going to stop, let alone an incompetent bug like you? A cold voice came out.
Oscar snorted angrily, and the saber in his hand slashed out, and a sword light easily tore the opponent's robe.
When he was about to laugh at the other party's indiscretion, the robe left, revealing the true face of the person in front of him, and couldn't help but make Oscar take two breaths in a row, and his heart trembled slightly: "You... What kind of monster the hell are you! ”
"We ...... Styx demons! ”
Whew!
As he spoke, a terrifying tail struck Oscar, so fast that he couldn't react at all. I saw that the front end of the tail suddenly opened, or made a bloody mouth, and swallowed Oscar in at once!
The scream rang out in the tail, and after a while, the tail suddenly contracted, and at last it spat out a pool of pus and blood, and the saber.
"Sure enough, human beings are the most delicious food."
After devouring Oscar, the Styx demon began to twist strangely in a strange way in a burst of laughter, and finally turned into Oscar's appearance again, muttering to himself; "The background of this look is okay, tsk......"
It grinned, picked up its saber, and swung it twice before slowly walking towards the location of the palace.
……
……
Zhao Nan just walked around the royal city and received an email from Gui Sisi, saying that Her Majesty the Queen had thought it through and would raise this matter in the court tomorrow.
The Duke of Manton was already under control, and with his support over the court, there was little resistance to this plan. Zhao Nan did not meet the queen again, but chose to go back to listen to Wind City.
There was a lot going on this day.
As soon as he stepped out of the temple's teleporter, he received another email.
Sun Zhigang.
A member of the special strategy team that had recently set off from the Desert Kingdom to Sunset Senge. Zhao Nan originally wanted to investigate the matter of the Styx villains. However, during this period, he met Auschfen and probably knew what was going on.
But Osphine couldn't tell where these Styx demons came from.
If these demons were indeed the race left over from the previous era, Zhao Nan felt that it was very necessary to find out why they could stay...... and the killing of the only god by the gods of the previous era.
On the other hand, these Styx demons seem to be able to carry out some kind of alienation of the natives and become villains...... They may have infiltrated the human realm, but the purpose is unclear.
In public and private, Zhao Nan had no choice but to go directly to the Sunset Forest.
"Good work."
The young man in front of him smiled and looked at the city lord who suddenly appeared, and he didn't feel how strange it was.
Zhao Nan turned his hand and threw him a fruit, saying, "Eating this can increase the basic limit of your sword power." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhao Nan shook his head and glanced around before saying, "I still have another place I want you to go." ”
Looking at the fruit in his hand, which could increase the basic limit of the sword's power by a full thirty percent, Sun Zhigang listened quietly with great anticipation.
"Give me a trip to the imperial capital."
"Understood!"
In fact, the huge flying pet, Sun Zhigang didn't even ask, and moved forward at full speed. He didn't care about this kind of rush, in fact, almost all the members of the special raiders team had good positions in Listening to the Wind City, and even if they didn't spend time on tasks and killing monsters, the level increase would not slow down. It is precisely because of this guarantee that the people in the special strategy group will have more time to carry out various explorations. Of course, the premise is still the cities of death that don't know where the road has been moved.
After more than half a year of the second meeting, it's time to see what the former captain of the garrison in the imperial capital has done.
"Hopefully something will be gained."
Zhao Nan rode the Sky Dragon and walked over the Sunset Forest, and soon reached the Sunset Gap. The vast expanse of the forest in front of me had turned into a wasteland, and the magma that had burst out of the ground had turned into rough black rock formations, and I could vaguely imagine the fierce battle that took place here that day.
Osphin didn't want to stay in the Arcane Castle for a second, so after his injuries healed that day, he didn't think about coming back.
But thinking of such a place that has trapped me for hundreds of years, I naturally can't avoid it. Zhao Nan didn't care about this. Let him go, not even before he has come to make a trip himself.
The Sky Dragon poked into the Sunset Rift, which was much wider than it had been because of the battle between Osphin and the Styx Demon.
Zhao Nan quickly descended to the place where he had found that the Styx Demon had been sealed, and at this moment, there was no Styx Demon in sight on the crystal walls on both sides.
It was silent, but suddenly I heard some kind of screaming figure.
"It looks like they're not clear."
Zhao Nan frowned, recovered the Sky Dragon, turned on the stealth skill, and walked into the passage to the Arcane Castle. (To be continued......)
