Chapter 147: Change
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Twin Moon City, Archimedes looked at the information he had just received in his hand and showed a meaningful smile.
In the past few days, a good show has been staged almost every day in Shuangyue City.
First of all, the second prince Lan'er gradually lost his position, under the attack of the eldest prince Landa and the third prince Lanza, he has since become sluggish, and there is no place for him in the court; and then the eldest prince Landa is prosperous, and he has the momentum of catching up with and surpassing the previous Lan'er, in the past few days, he has begun to build momentum in Shuangyue City, and he doesn't know that he thinks that the king has passed the throne to him; the third prince Lanza has been visiting and attracting the nobles with ambiguous attitudes, and it is said that there are also many low-key but powerful families in secret, and now the trend of Shuangyue City is really quite interesting!
However, in the eyes of the common people's subjects, the hottest topic recently is the little prince Rand who almost died when he encountered a monster in the outer forest.
Although Rand and the others have returned safely to Two Moon City a few days ago, the topic has been hot. Everyone was speculating about the situation and the whereabouts of the unknown monster. At the same time, there are all kinds of gossip and strange stories that are prevalent in Twin Moon City.
After all, the battles of the royal family have existed in all dynasties, and for the people in the capital, this is nothing new. But it is not uncommon for a prince to encounter a giant beast in the wild. Not to mention, the protagonist of this incident is still the little prince Lante, who has always had a good image in people's minds, so it is understandable that the people have a high degree of attention to this.
It's just that the timing of the beast's appearance is a little more subtle, and it's hard not to connect it to the recent events in Two Moon City. Although the old king was still conscious, he had no trouble even speaking a word.
So the old king seems to have become an ornament, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to survive this winter.
In other words, the struggle between the princes will be concluded in a few months.
This made Archimedes feel that it was time to take matters into his own hands.
Archimedes looked at all the information he had and began to think seriously.
In front of him was a list of all the powerful families in Twin Moon City. Some of the families on it have been marked with black crosses, indicating that these families have been robbed and killed during the last Storm Strangulation Night. Among them, including the Clark family where Charlene Chazo belongs.
The families who secretly communicate with different princes have also been marked differently, which is probably what Archimedes has mastered, and the current distribution of power in Double Moon City.
Archimedes' eyes were now lingering on the names that were still unmarked. Because so far, the number of families who still choose neutrality seems to be more than Archimedes predicted before.
Why is that?
Archimedes couldn't help but look at the maverick names again and think about them seriously.
The Grand Duke Moses, who has always been unsociable and complains about the Moon Country, the Torres family where Noah belongs, and the Garcia family, who have always been arrogant and calm......
Are these guys waiting for a better opportunity?
Archimedes' eyes couldn't help but flash a sharp cold light, and he looked at the names again. Then he found that these guys, who have not made a clear statement so far, seem to have something in common between them......
Thinking of this, Archimedes couldn't help but turn his head to look at the latest report on the accident in the outer forest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile: it seems that the time is really ripe.
At this moment, a cold wind blew through, and suddenly blew open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study. The moonlight sprinkled on the carpet, which seemed to reveal an eerie light.
Archimedes' eyes changed suddenly, and his expression suddenly became grim.
He has always had a habit of not liking the wind, especially on nights like these. So every day at dusk, the people would pay special attention to check the closure of the windows in Archimedes' room.
Archimedes was sure that the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study must have been tightly closed. The natural wind is simply impossible to blow it away!
This also means that the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study will only be opened when driven by other forces!
The Prime Minister's Mansion has always been heavily guarded, and ordinary people definitely don't have this ability, breaking through the heavy guards to reach Archimedes without being discovered!
There seemed to be a slight smell of malice in the air, which seemed familiar to Archimedes. He couldn't help but think back to what had happened in this Twin Moon City twenty years ago.
In an instant, Archimedes realized what was happening, and his pupils couldn't help but begin to dilate: it was him who came!
A dark shadow jumped in from the balcony without hesitation, agile and elegant. Then two black shadows stood and sat on the balcony railing, giving people a very heavy sense of oppression!
I have to admit that the moment the black shadow appeared, even Archimedes was a little nervous. Sweat began to ooze from his forehead, which was an experience that he had not experienced in more than ten years for an old man in his seventies and eighties and scheming!
Despite this, Archimedes quickly adjusted his mentality. He straightened the expressions on his face, glanced at the two people outside the room, and said with a pretended lightheartedness, "Lord Tyrion, long time no see." ”
Inside the room, the man known as Tyrion stood in the shadows, his hands folded behind his back, he glanced at Archimedes with contempt and disdain, and said unhurriedly: "But in twenty years, you are already too old?
"yes, I'm really old. I wonder why you're here to see me, Lord Tyrion?" said Archimedes, seemingly complimentingly, with an elusive tone in his tone.
Tyrion glanced back at Archimedes sharply, and there was a hint of gloominess in his eyes: "Why did I come here, don't you know in your heart? Don't pretend in front of me, or I'll crush your head!"
Archimedes' face suddenly became gloomy. However, on the face, he still maintained a very calm posture: "I'm getting older, and my brain has become less sharp. The old man really doesn't know the purpose of the adult's coming, so please make it clear. ”
"I said Tyrion, this old man is pretending to be confused, I think he's impatient!
The guy who was squatting on the railing was already getting a little impatient, and was yelling to kill Archimedes directly. Just listening to the voice, this breathless guy should be quite young.
Tyrion glared at Chaoyangtai, who had an unkind face, and whispered, "Take him out!"
When the other person on the balcony heard this, he hurriedly pulled the noisy guy in response, and disappeared from Archimedes and Tyrion's vision in an instant.
The surroundings immediately fell silent.
Tyrion methodically stepped out of the shadows.
The moonlight shone on his face, and his complexion was very pale. This is a man who doesn't look very old. Long black hair, high hairline, a somewhat hideous face, a slightly hunched back, not good-looking. Under a black robe, a slightly thin body was covered.
Tyrion reached out and threw something right in front of Archimedes' eyes, a sly and threatening glint in his eyes.
Then, in an unobstructive tone, he said to Archimedes: "Now that there are no more people in the way, it's time to talk about the deal between us, which was not completed twenty years ago!"
Archimedes looked at the transparent stone that Tyrion had thrown on his desk, faintly glowing with a purple-red glow, and his heart was beating fast with nervousness.
Power.
Struggle.
Soul Crystal.
Demon.
Any one of them is enough to give people a headache.
And now, they are all in front of Archimedes at the same time!
Archimedes couldn't help but sneer. And cold sweat also oozed from his forehead.
Things seem to be getting more and more unpredictable.
