Chapter 388: Twists and Turns
Black Iron Port, outside the gates of the Viscount's Palace.
Ades did not expect Anna and Molly to come out of the gate to meet him, and when the carriage drove into the large garden in front of the Viscount's Palace, he came to the gate, and when he got out of the carriage, he found the two noble ladies standing in front of the door with a smile on their faces.
They met according to aristocratic etiquette, and kissed hands at the suggestion of Anna and Molly.
The kiss can only be carried out if the lady first signs, the lady must stretch out her arm slightly, the palm of the hand hangs down, and the man will do it after receiving the signal, if the lady does not signal, then skip it, and cannot forcibly pull up the other party's hand to kiss the hand, if it is forced, it is an impolite and insulting behavior.
After the ceremony, Molly hurried to the study with Ades, and on the way Adès had already asked, "How is it?
"No, there has been no movement on the royal side's side for several days, and Anna has temporarily hindered the arrival of the royal envoy with the reason that the remote teleportation magic array is malfunctioning and repairing. Molly told Adès the latest information as she went.
"That's a lame reason. Adès said, glancing at Anna beside him.
"What other good reasons can you expect from me, it's not that you don't know that my least favorite thing is politics. Anna saw that Adès looked at herself, and said disdainful words in her mouth, and immediately glared at Adès, and said justifiably.
Ades and Molly glanced at each other, both smiled, and shook their heads, this Anna can really only be a holy warrior, let her be a viscountess, and sooner or later offend everyone to death.
"Didn't the royal family send a message to urge it? It's been a few days. ”
"Nope. Listening to Anna, her previous attitude was quite anxious. Suddenly it was broken, and no new information came for several days. I haven't had any new information since I came back from Ambo. Molly told Adès in detail what had happened in the past few days, and could not hide anything, because if she did, Adès would misjudge.
Adès thought as he walked, and then said, "This is so strange, what is the royal family thinking?"
"Leave him alone, you're tired of rushing back in such a hurry, haven't you eaten?" Molly and Anna already had a trace of independent thought in their hearts, so they didn't pay much attention to the arrival of the royal envoy now. Instead, he was worried about Ades' body.
"I'm not tired, now that the mountain road has been widened, I have been riding a velociraptor all the way, and there have always been slaves building mountain roads on the road, and there are soldiers guarding along the way, which is very safe, so I have a good rest. Without thinking too much about it, Adès simply answered Molly's question, and by the way, he told her and Anna about the progress of the construction of the mountain road.
"Then go wash your body first. There is a smell of sweat on your body, and you see that your leather armor is already dirty, wash it clean, and we will sit down and talk slowly about the royal envoy. Anna, who was following behind, seemed to suddenly understand what Molly meant, and walked up to Adès. Then he grabbed him, turned around and went to the room that went to the bathroom.
"Hey, hey...... Don't. I'll go on my own. ”
Anna didn't listen to Adès and pulled him on, and Molly pushed him with a smile behind her.
"What are you doing? Why don't you pay attention to it all of a sudden?"
"Oops. You've sent messages back saying that now they're trying to win us over, and we're strong, aren't we? It's them who should be taken seriously, and they haven't had any new information for several days, which proves that they don't pay attention enough, so what are we doing so proactively?" Molly replied to Ades' question.
This is also ah, Adès didn't turn a corner, he didn't expect this layer, but Molly already had an independent idea in his heart, and after jumping out of this chessboard, his mentality towards this matter has also changed, so he has such behavior.
As for the idea of the royal family?
I don't care what he thinks, that's what Molly thinks in her heart.
In the royal capital, the royal family's current thinking is to die.
That's really what Allers III had in mind.
Two days ago, the demons that had disappeared in the royal capital suddenly reappeared, and there were quite a few of them, and the demons outside the city also took the opportunity to launch a new attack, and the king suddenly returned to the previous state of being invaded overnight, as the king, he really wanted to die now.
"Why is this happening? Have you investigated? Is there someone in the city who is in cahoots with the devil? Find me, I'm going to kill him!!" Ahles III roared at the Imperial Council.
There were some sweat marks on the foreheads of the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of War, and this matter really had nothing to do with the people in the city, and no one colluded with the devil.
"My king, we have interrogated, in the first place where the demons appeared, they were all the homes of small nobles and rich merchants who were destroyed during the invasion, and our soldiers cleared the demons on the surface, but the demons are very cunning, they are hiding under the cellar, and our soldiers are ordinary people, and they have not been able to detect these situations. "The Minister of War is the main person in charge of cleaning up the demons in the royal capital, and he can only stand up and carry this matter himself.
"Won't they open the cellar door and take a look?" said Ahlers III, furious, and looked coldly at the Minister of War, if he didn't explain it clearly, then die!
"There are secret passages under the cellars of those little nobles and rich merchants, and the doors that open the secret passages are hidden, and most of them have magical or mechanical mechanisms, and we have not been able to find out about these things, I am unforgivable, and I take the blame and resign. The military minister noticed that the king's tone was somewhat different, and hurriedly confessed his guilt, and retreated.
Seeing the look of the military minister with sincere fear, Ahlers III felt a little better, but the fire in his heart still did not leak out, he slapped the chair arm of the throne fiercely and said to the military minister: "The fine is one year, you should immediately go to the wall of the inner city now, command the soldiers to defend against the invasion of demons, and make meritorious deeds." ”
The military minister hurriedly knelt down to receive the order and cautiously withdrew from the main hall.
Although he was kicked out of the Imperial Council like this, it meant that he didn't want to be able to participate in the high-level meetings of the kingdom during this time, from a high-level who sat and watched the clouds rise and fall and laughed at others fighting for life and death on the front line, to going to the front line himself and participating in the life-and-death struggle.
But this time it was already very good to be able to pick up a small life, and it was because he didn't check carefully enough that there was a resurgence of demons this time, and if the king had been ruthless, he would have been able to pull him out and cut him down now, and no one could say anything.
"Well, let's talk about it, what should we do with this demonic resurgence?"
This time the situation is much worse than the first demon invasion, last time because he was prepared to fight, whether it was the retreat of the residents in the city, or the supply of various materials, he was fully prepared, this time it was different, it happened suddenly, he really wanted to die now.
