Chapter 189: Poison and Curse

The furnishings of Duke Roland's Mansion were exactly the same as the last time Li Yunfei came, but there was a tense atmosphere like a great enemy.

The entire Duke's Palace was full of guards who walked back and forth with stubbornness. And in the corner, there are also spiritual power fields that spread out, forming a network of spiritual power, enveloping the entire Duke's Palace, but there are some magicians hiding in the shadows.

At the same time, Li Yunfei could feel that in some corners, there were still many magic traps, which were about to explode.

Didn't you say that Piller was sick, why was the garrison so tight? With doubts, Li Yunfei had already stepped into the side courtyard of the Duke's Palace.

In this side of the courtyard there is a small three-storey building connected to the main body of the Duke's Palace, where Piller recuperates.

There were several guards guarding the main gate at this time, all of whom were Piler's personal guards, but they knew Li Yunfei. At this time, seeing Li Yunfei coming, he saluted him and made way for a passage.

Li Yunfei walked into the room and immediately saw several acquaintances.

The Marquis of Sutter, the Marquis of Fack, the Marquis of Downton, and the three of the seven Marquis of Roland City were all in this room at this time. In addition to these three, there were several priests in white robes, and several magicians in cyan and black robes.

Hearing footsteps, they all looked towards the door.

"Thor, you're really back!" Sartre was frowning and his face was full of melancholy, but at this time, he finally showed a hint of joy, and stepped forward to grab Li Yunfei's hand and looked it up and down.

And the rest of the people also signaled to Li Yunfei at this time, welcoming him with a smile on their faces. Nafak even opened his mouth and said: "Haha, little Thor, I didn't expect you to be alive!"

Li Yunfei immediately said: "Saul has seen Uncle Sartre and several lords, as well as various mages and priests. Your Highness, how is he?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately turned dark, and turned to the side, revealing the bed behind them.

I saw that Piller's face was like white paper at this time, lying on the bed, and his originally handsome and kind face was shrouded in a layer of dead gray at this time, and he looked terminally ill. Fortunately, he was still awake at this time, and after seeing Li Yunfei, he immediately tried to squeeze out a smile, and said: "Sol, it's great that you're here, if my father knows, he will be very happy." ”

Piller's voice was hoarse, sounding like he was rubbing sandpaper. His cheeks were sunken like dry bones.

Li Yunfei frowned, stepped forward, reached out and gently grabbed Piller's hand, only to feel that the other party's hand was like a withered branch, and said, "Piller, Your Highness, what is going on?" The last sentence was asked to a few people around him.

One of the temple priests next to him immediately said: "Your Highness, this is a curse technique, this curse technique is extremely vicious, a little bit of overdrawing the vitality of His Highness, at first he will only feel energetic, but after a long time, it will be difficult to eradicate it when he discovers it." ”

"No, Your Highness is clearly poisoned, several legendary potions can achieve this effect, once the toxin penetrates into the body, the whole person will begin to collapse from the inside out, and it will not be able to get rid of it in a short period of time. The black-robed magician next to him said, this person was a black iron mage, and he also wore the logo of the Roland Mage Tower.

"It's definitely a curse, otherwise, it won't react to my magic. The priest frowned.

"It's obviously a toxin, I just released a few poison exorcism magic, and His Highness's body has obviously improved a little. The Black Iron Mage said without question.

Seeing that the two were in a dispute, Li Yunfei couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who are the two?"

"Hello Earl, I'm Peter the Prefect of the Southern Temple, Bishop Elam. The priest said, "I have always admired the name of the Count of Rollin, and when I see it today, I am indeed a young hero." ”

"I'm Moqi, a disciple of Master Yanbo, and I've met Lord Earl. The Black Iron Mage lowered his posture and said with a smile on his face, "Master Yanbo, he often mentions you. ”

At the same time, Sartre said on the side: "Bishop Elan, Lord Elan, and the Grand Duke have been friends for many years, and Master Moqi used to be an apprentice of Master Yanbo, and he is best at wood spells. ”

Li Yunfei immediately realized that these two people could be regarded as their own people, and there would be nothing wrong with them. At that moment, he smiled slightly and said, "The two adults have worked hard, but what is the matter with His Highness Piller? Is there a cure?"

Neither of them should have bad intentions, but the disagreement between a priest and a black iron mage on treatment can only indicate one situation, that is, Piller's physical condition is extremely bad, and it is beyond the control of the two.

"There are also radical cure methods, the situation of His Royal Highness Piller, the main reason is that the consumption of vitality in the body is too serious, and it is too late to find out, as long as the vitality is replenished, His Highness alone can fully recover. The chief priest Peter said.

"Yes, as long as the vitality is sufficient, this toxin can also be expelled on its own. Mage Mochi nodded in the same way.

It's just that this kind of vitality must be radiated from Piller's body itself, and external forces can't help him at all. And looking at how terminally ill he is now, it's impossible......

Is it vitality...... Li Yunfei's eyes flashed, and he had already thought of something.

He turned to everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say a few words to Your Highness, I don't know if I can avoid it for a while?"

"Thor, it's not that I can't trust you, Your Highness is so weak now, it's not good to let you be here by yourself?" Although the people around him did not speak, they were also a little surprised by Li Yunfei's request.

Piller nodded, and said weakly, "Okay, let's go to the living room outside and rest for a while, with Thor here, I'll be fine." ”

Hearing Piller's words, the group turned and left the bedroom, closing the door tightly.

When everyone left, Li Yunfei said to Piler: "Your Highness, I believe that the Grand Duke and his old man must still be alive." ”

Hearing this, a hint of amazement appeared on Piller's face, and he said, "I hope so...... I hope that his old man Ji people have their own natural appearance......"

It's just that then Li Yunfei said: "But if the Grand Duke sees your current appearance, he will definitely be angry to death." ”

These words couldn't help but make Piller stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "I am immoral and incompetent, and I am ashamed of the trust I have ......entrusted to my father."

"No, you are too virtuous and capable, that's why you make the Grand Duke angry. Li Yunfei raised his voice, and there was already a trace of anger on his face: "Your Highness, don't you really know who did it? Don't you really know what critical juncture Roland City has reached now? Do you really want to sit back and wait for death!?"

Piller was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of despair, and said, "Of course I know...... What's the point of letting relatives kill each other just for such a position?"

Hearing this, Li Yunfei sighed in his heart, the reason why he has a good impression of Piller is because the other party is kind and benevolent. It's just too kindness, and sometimes it turns into cruelty to oneself and one's relatives and friends.

Piller then said: "But don't worry, I won't sit still, in this Roland City, I also have my own arrangements, and after the succession ceremony, everything will naturally settle down." Even if Bernie wants to make trouble, with Sartre and Uncle Falck supporting me, nothing will go wrong. ”

Li Yunfei nodded, understanding that although Piller was kind, he was very smart and would have his own hole cards. At that moment, he suddenly released a few silent spells around him, and whispered to Piller's ear: "If Your Highness can trust me, you might as well ...... like this."

After another meal, Li Yunfei came out of the bedroom and came to the living room.

At this time, everyone outside was already waiting, and after seeing him come out, Marquis Falke immediately asked, "Thor, how is Your Highness?"

Li Yunfei nodded and said, "Your Highness is too tired and has already slept." When did His Highness's health go wrong, and why is it so heavily guarded?"

Hearing this, the Marquis of Falk immediately widened his eyes, even his beard was curled, and he said loudly: "Since the day when the Grand Duke did not come back, His Royal Highness first fainted due to excessive grief, and after waking up, he suddenly felt full of energy, saying that he would inherit the will of the Grand Duke, and he was busy with government affairs every day, and he didn't even sleep for a week. At first, everyone was quite happy, thinking that His Highness had recovered from his grief, but he didn't expect to suddenly fall ill later, and at that time everyone knew that His Highness had already been poisoned. ”

Moreover, since His Highness fell ill, he had been assassinated five times in succession, and on one occasion the Assassin even rushed to the door of his bedroom. Hmph, I don't know if those behind the scenes will have a bad conscience when they do such unconscionable things. Marquis Falke said loudly with a blow of his beard and glaring.

Li Yunfei frowned and asked, "Our seven marquis of Roland City, where are the other four?" It stands to reason that at this time, the seven strongest marquis who are trusted by Grand Duke Roland should appear in the Duke's Mansion, but there are only three marquis here, which makes Li Yunfei feel very strange.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunfei didn't say anything, and the Marquis Ke immediately scolded: "Those bastard bastards! Hanks and Hamilton have long been mixed up with Bernie! The remaining two slippery ghosts are sick and have been recuperating at home, and they don't want to be wall grass!"

Hearing this, Li Yunfei immediately understood in his heart. These seven marquis are only loyal to the Grand Duke of Roland, but they have more choices for Pierre and Bernie, because they are both the sons of the Grand Duke of Roland! At this critical moment, the small abacus that was originally hidden in the heart is about to come out! After all, this can be said to be a reshuffle of the forces of Roland City, and it is normal for someone to use their brains.

At this time, Sartre said beside him: "Thor, you don't have to worry, now Robert and I have most of the army of the city defense army, Falk is the commander of the Praetorian Guard of the Bone City, as long as the three of us are here, the others can't make any waves." ”

Under normal circumstances, the regular army in a giant city is the city defense army and the capital janissaries, although each nobleman has its own private army, but the combat effectiveness and size are much worse. As long as you master these two armies, you can basically sit back and relax.

Li Yunfei nodded and smiled: "Uncle Sartre, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely protect His Royal Highness Piller and will not make any mistakes!" The last sentence he said was categorical, and his eyes shone with a terrifying gritty light.

Hearing this, Sartre nodded approvingly, but he didn't react much. And Nafak's face has already shown a disapproving look, in his opinion, it is enough to have his own elders, you junior, although the courage is commendable, what can you do?
