Chapter 431: Trapped
On the other side, Arthur and the others were also discussing things about these powerful men in the palace, and while discussing, they were walking towards a small palace in the palace, which was the accommodation that Emperor Halaua arranged for him.
Jason asked with some amazement, "You mean there is another powerful mage in the palace of Halaoa?"
He now somewhat understood why Emperor Harauja did not cause a huge backlash when he expelled the Holy See, and that the Great Purge of that year had even cleared out the pervasive people of the Inquisition.
It turns out that he has the support of the Eye of Truth behind him!
The strength of the Halaua Empire itself is already strong enough, and with an eye of truth standing behind him, it is no wonder that the Holy See will retreat.
Although the Holy See will not necessarily lose in a real head-to-head confrontation, after all, their Legion of Prayers was specially formed to deal with mages, and although it is only 3,000 people, it can still make the Eye of Truth lose its vitality.
Because their weapons and armor are all made of expensive demonic metal, and although they are of average hardness, they are immune to damage from elementary and even some intermediate spells.
Someone like Jason who has just started to become a mage is completely blind when facing the prators, so once the prators enter the war, the Eye of Truth can only be forced to defend, otherwise if their masters are entangled, the new generation of mages will face a slaughter.
It's just that then the Holy See won't have the strength to fight against the Deep Blue Cross.
"Yes, a sky-level mage powerhouse is hidden in the garden in front of the palace, but he just didn't know why there was a trace of mana fluctuation that I discovered just now, this kind of aura fluctuation is quite familiar to me, very similar to Merlin. Arthur said very calmly.
Hearing this, Mordred silently clenched his hand, and he felt that he still had a long way to catch up with or even surpass Arthur, because he had just felt nothing.
"Merlin?"
Jason said to himself, the greatest magician in Celtic mythology, he had coveted for a long time.
Compared with their comfort, the fourth prince Simda, who was now outside the Imperial City of Western Sahara, did not even have a chance to say goodbye to his mother and his wife and concubine because of an order from Emperor Halaoya, and was forcibly taken away by a team of palace guards, and talked to a very handsome young man who stopped his team with a hideous look.
The young man's name was Hugh Rupert, the only son of the Rupert family, and his father's name was Isaiah Rupert, Marquis of the Haraua Empire, who was also Chancellor of the Exchequer.
He has half a province of actual fiefdom, but he usually resides in the Imperial City of Western Sahara, on the one hand, to show his loyalty to Emperor Halaoa, on the other hand, with other careful thoughts, a family always has to make some political investment if it wants to prosper for a long time.
One of his goals was to support and befriend the prince, and the previous Marquis Rupert had to follow the current Emperor Halaua to make his family grow rapidly.
"Hughes, promise me that the Rupert family will make that guy worse than dead!" Prince Simda gritted his teeth, and the palace guards and their captain on the side pretended not to see it.
Although they were absolutely loyal to the emperor, one of them stood together now was the spoiled fourth prince, and the other was the son of a powerful marquis.
So it's good to turn a blind eye to some things, and the province is hated for no reason, and a soldier like him is not as noble as others.
Compared with Simda's madness, the young man named Xiusi is very calm, his ability and vision are much more powerful than that of His Royal Highness the Prince, and after listening to Simda's retelling of the previous events, he pinched his eyebrows with a little headache.
Because the cause of this incident is completely that Simda has nothing to do with himself, and he is asking for hardship, so he can obviously not be this up-and-coming bird.
So what to take revenge on Jason, so that their life is worse than death is absolutely not something to do, Xius said with a little distress: "Your Royal Highness, tell me the truth, did you hear what people said to stand up and provoke His Royal Highness the Great Prince so impatiently." ”
Simda was stunned when he heard this, and then there was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he took a deep breath and said, "This ...... No, I don't. ”
Although he is impulsive, he is not a fool, and any prince in the royal family, even if he is the most incapable outside, is a person-like person, so as soon as Xius said this, he figured out something.
It's just that it's not easy for him to say it because of his face, after all, he won't say this kind of thing when he was cheated by his brother.
But what kind of person is Hughes, a proposal for military reform written at the age of seventeen was greatly praised by Emperor Harauya, but it was not adopted because of the immaturity of the idea.
It's just that he was made an honorary viscount by the very happy Emperor Haraua, although it was only a fictitious viscount, but the honor of a second lord also made Marquis Isaiah Rupert laugh many times.
Therefore, Simda's disguise was seen through by him at a glance, so Xiusi stared at him with serious eyes and said: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, this matter is not as simple as you imagined, otherwise Your Majesty, why would he exile you in disguise because of a kingdom duke?"
Speaking of this, Simda's eyes turned a little red, he was really wronged!
Seeing that he did not answer, Hughes continued: "Obviously, it is impossible for this Jason to affect the friendship between the two countries, but he has something that His Majesty values, and even if it is only for this we must repair the broken relationship. ”
"It was my brother Noah, who wrote to me some time ago to complain that his life in the Dead Leaf Legion was not going well, because of the dictatorship of Loca, he, the deputy commander, did not have any autonomy at all. ”
Simda's eyes flashed: "You also know that I have a good relationship with the sixth brother, so ......"
"The Sixth Prince?" Hughes was shocked, he and Simda were brothers of the same mother, and they would actually pit their brother fiercely.
So he said in disbelief: "But I just got the news some time ago, during the period when the eldest prince was away, he emptied all the generals of the Great Prince's family in the Withered Leaf Legion, which is why the eldest prince did not go to the Withered Leaf Legion station after he came back, because it has become a place where it is too difficult for the six princes to cover it with one hand!"
"This can't be!!"
Simda couldn't believe it, in addition to shock and pain in his eyes, he wanted to stand up for his brother, but he was planted because he was cheated?!
