Chapter 7: Fist Diplomacy (Part II)
"Not only are you small, unlearned, and unscrupulous, and you are unfit to sit on this throne. So you have to get out of the way and it's more appropriate for your younger brother to run the country. Gru looked at the three tribal leaders seated in the room. "Don't worry. Prince Taize is also clear to you about his abilities and personality. Even if you have dealt with him, it is only a political choice in favor of the powerful camp, and he will not hold grudges. Therefore, after the change of throne, neither your selfish interests nor the rights and interests of your clan will be harmed, and even greatly benefited. ”
The three tribal leaders looked at him dumbfoundedly, not knowing how they should react.
"And the Harry, who have always been arrogant and domineering, will probably have to accept a little sanction. You will spit out all the property and rights that you have usurped from the other people. Gru looked at the Hari patriarch sitting next to the king. It was King Brown's uncle. "But let's wait for the next king to tell you. ”
"Hahahaha. Rosco burst into a burst of laughter, laughter echoing wildly through the hall. "I didn't think that the general of Oufu was actually a madman. Hahahaha...."
The Harry patriarch laughed too, and King Brown squeezed out an awkward smile.
"What if I say that's what the Shadow Sage meant?" Gru's expression and voice were cold and unwavering from beginning to end.
The laughter of the three people stopped. Immediately, Luo Sike laughed even harder: "I can even think of such a lie, let's just find a guard to guard the palace gate tomorrow and go to Oufu to be a general, it's much more useful than this guy......."
Gru pulled out a piece and threw it on the conference table, immediately interrupting the Prime Minister's laughter and causing the other people's expressions to freeze.
It was a gray jade plaque strung together into a necklace by a very thin chain. It's just that the jade chain is hollowed out with an unbelievable superb craftsmanship, and the gray jade plate is inconspicuous at first glance, but those with better eyesight can find that there is actually no gray on this jade plate. The gray color is the illusion of countless small, uniform black and white lines. Among them the black is pitch black, and the white is snow-white.
Such a jade plaque, whether it is naturally generated or acquired by human processing, is a priceless treasure. And the words embossed along those lines on it have a shocking effect on the people here. Tetaria, Heart of Shadows.
"Shadow Cards. Rosco's voice twitched with his expression. He didn't even have to look at it to make out the object by the faint fluctuations of magic on it. It was something that his teacher, Nimbas the Shadow Sage, wore with him and never left him.
"The Shadow Sage left this for me, and asked me to come to Titalia to arrange this. Gru said lightly.
"This....this.. How come, teacher... How do you make me..."King Brown was trembling all over, and his face was covered in cold sweat.
"It can't be. The Prime Minister snatched the jade plaque from the table. The sweat on his forehead was no less than that of the king, and his expression was distorted to a frightening degree. "It's... This jade card is you steal..... you rob it......no... It can't be—" He couldn't even say it himself. The Shadow Card hung around his teacher's neck and never took it off, and if he could steal it, it wouldn't be difficult to steal the head from it. But how could the great shadow sage be killed.
"In short, it's impossible. Rosco shouted hysterically. "The teacher is clearly with me..... how can it be .....?"
"With you, what? Kill the old king with you, and then prop this straw bale to power, so you think he will never do this now?" Gru's faint tone and calm expression still did not change. But everyone else was so frightened by this sentence that they almost jumped.
Rosco's face suddenly stiffened and turned blue. The expressions on the faces of the others were all shocked. Of course, the degree of shock is also different, some people think it is earth-shattering, and some people with smart minds have already vaguely felt the subtleties, but they didn't expect someone to be able to say it.
Rosco's face gradually turned from stiff blue to dark red and then boiled, and he jumped up like crazy and shouted, "Come on, come on." Guards, get this madman out. ”
The door of the main hall was originally open, and as soon as the voice of the prime minister fell, several people walked in.
King Brown also began to react, shouting. "Come on, kill him. Suddenly four figures emerged from the shadow corner of the great hall and gathered around the king. Tytaria has been in the war with Erathia and the harassment of the monsters in the northeast all the year round, and there are not many brave men who have grown up in the battle, and King Brown has specially selected a few martial arts masters from the people to protect himself from the beginning of the struggle for the throne. Although Prince Taize's style has prevented these people from playing a role, now is undoubtedly a more important opportunity.
But Gru didn't move, didn't even look at the four of them, just said lightly: "He won't be the king soon." You may disobey his commands. He paused. "Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to die on your own initiative. ”
He said these words in a very flat way, but the intimidation and shock of this bland was far stronger and deeper than any furious ferocity. Far from being a threat and intimidation of their own kind, it was the calm and calm of the lion in the face of the rats.
The four men looked at Gru, but none of them moved.
"What's wrong with you?" said King Brown, shocked and furious. He remembered that these men were more ferocious than jackals and braver than lions and tigers when dealing with others. Just as when they asked for the price. He shouted, "Whoever kills him, I'll give him five hundred gold coins!"
But the four still didn't come forward. Although the jackal is fierce, it is not without a head. They always know if they're dealing with a rabbit that can be eaten or a Beamon who has been crumpled into a pulp. Looking at the man in front of them who didn't say a word or even look at them, the four of them sighed one after another and turned to leave.
King Brown was completely stupid.
On the other side, a few people who walked in from outside the gate didn't seem to be loud, and the Prime Minister's voice was hoarse, they didn't walk slowly, but definitely not fast. The Prime Minister's face was even more ugly, and he saw the buttocks of the men who had come in dragging a thick, long tail. Whether it was the Lizardfolk who were supposed to have disappeared into the Northeast Realm or the men Gru had brought with him from Oufu, the fact that they were able to swagger here meant that the problem was far more serious than expected.
Walking in front of several lizardmen is a man wrapped in animal skins. The man was in his thirties, with brown hair and the color of his clothes. And his appearance is ugly, and his facial features are put together in a very strange combination, making him look like he is laughing all the time.
"Prince Taize. The other three clan leaders exclaimed at the same time.
A figure appeared silently behind Gru, and it was actually the Hari patriarch. Taking advantage of the fact that Gru had been talking to the others, as if he didn't care about him at all, he quietly left his seat and turned behind Gru, drew his saber from his waist and pounced on it.
The terror and deterrence of giant beasts can certainly make jackals, tigers, leopards, etc. cringe and fear, but not everyone will be afraid. For example, maggots, ants, mosquitoes, etc., will never care and will always have the courage to challenge the attack. Only the ignorant can be fearless.
But the results of intrepid are usually not very pretty. Just as he rose to his feet, his face was full of murderous energy, Gru turned around, and with a stretch of his hands, he pressed him back into the seat that belonged to him. Gentle and casual movements without the slightest anger are as easy as pressing a rag doll that is left there and does not move. And the patriarch who fell back to his seat immediately stopped standing still like a rag doll. In the blink of an eye, at least twenty bones from all over his body shattered silently. The sudden pain made him faint without even snorting.
As Gru turned, another man slammed into his feet and pounced on him. Although this figure is slightly fat, it is still abnormally healthy. It was actually the King Brown who had been sitting on the throne with a distorted expression and trembling all over his body, looking mediocre and incompetent.
After all, he grew up with the education and training of the head of a country, and he has not lost his fighting spirit in this sudden change. The slightly blessed body jumped up and drew the dagger it carried with him. The timing of the shot is very suitable, and the posture and speed of the shot are even more ferocious and vicious.
It's a pity that no matter how fierce and venomous an ant is, it's still an ant. Gru didn't even look at him, just waved his hand very casually, and King Brown flew back to the throne with a green onion, and unlike his uncle, his fat face had become a tomato that had been stepped on.
The other three clan leaders exclaimed in unison, and one of them stood up. But they're not ants, and they don't mean to side with them at all. Even if they are not outstanding in their minds and abilities, they are definitely very good at distinguishing the situation. As soon as Prince Taize appeared, they all understood.
"His Majesty the King has died, and it seems that even Chan can save the throne. Do you say, Prime Minister?" Gru said lightly, turning to look at Rosco. His attention has never been taken away from this person who must not be considered an ant, and should be much stronger than a jackal. This person is the object he cares about the most.
Roscot froze there like a puppet, cold sweat dripping down his chin. He was actually the first of them all, but it was only because he was so slow that it was his turn now.
His hands were on his chest, and a thorn of shadow was ready. Obviously, this magic is already like an arrow on a tight string, and it can be launched with the slightest movement, and the lethality of this magic is absolutely undoubted. But when Gru's dark eyes fell on his eyes, he didn't have the courage to do it.
"Why don't you move, don't you want to try it?" Gru smiled faintly.
Prince Taize and the lizardmen who entered the main hall all stood still and did not go any further, and the three tribal leaders also left their seats. No one wants to approach a magician who will burst out at any moment, not to mention that they are all familiar with the horrors of court magicians.
Luo Sike still didn't move, but his face was distorted and he shouted hoarsely: "Prince Taize, you dare to collude with outsiders to assassinate the king and interfere in the internal affairs of Tytalia. Do you think the tribes will recognize you as a traitor?"
Even with such shouting, he didn't dare to take his eyes off Gru in the slightest. The man who stood there without the slightest movement, and who was not much taller than him, not only shocked him, but also completely controlled his spirit and momentum.
"Shut up. Prince Taize shouted. The roar was like thunder, which showed that his mood was already very excited. It's just that the ugly peculiar look makes his angry expression look like a smile. "You are the real scourge of Tytaria if you quietly kill my father and then prop up my brother to be the puppet king. Without you and the Hari people, the other tribes would have a truly good life. ”
"The Shadow Sage will not forgive you. Rosco's voice was already howling like a wild beast.
Prince Taize and the other three clan leaders all changed their faces. After all, the name is about as a god in their minds, and far more intimidating than any god.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's do it. Gru's cold voice rang out. "Let me see how much you can do with Nimbas. ”
Rosco's face suddenly turned whiter than a dead man's. He vaguely understood something, and although he didn't want to believe it, the feeling of madness, despair and terror welled up in his heart, and even he knew that the god in his mind was indeed dead.
His face changed from white to blue, and from blue to red several times. Finally, when he was so red that he seemed to drip blood, all the emotions in his heart erupted like the magma of a volcano. He used all his strength to yell, "You talk nonsense. ”
In the shouts that resounded through the hall, the magic that Luo Sike had been accumulating for a long time suddenly appeared. A pillar of gray light shot out of his hands towards Gru.
"Drink. A loud shout hundreds of times stronger than Rosco's voice rang out. If Rosco was just the sound of gongs and drums, now this is thunder and tsunami. The entire hall seemed to tremble slightly at this voice, and everyone, including them, was busy covering their ears, even the lizardmen who had no ears hurriedly pressed the two small ear holes on their heads.
At the same time, the main hall was filled with white light. Gru still stood there without even raising his hand, just a sudden white glow from his body as he let out that loud shout. This vindictive light only shone for a blink and then disappeared, shorter than a meteor, but far brighter than a meteor. The gray pillar of magic light that originally shot straight into his chest was like a wisp of light smoke that met a sudden storm, and instantly disappeared in the white light of the fighting spirit and the roar of thunder.
But Rothko, who performed this magic, didn't care about any of that. He was already flying back as he threw the spell, holding the shadow card above his head with both hands, and shouting like madness, "All die." ”
The glow of vindictiveness vanished. The people in the hall, the walls, the tables and chairs, everything lost its original color, and all took on the dead ash of the corpse's skin. And the shadow card held high in Rosco's hand was even more gray and shiny. Huge waves of magic rolled and surged in his hands, and every inch of his body was so gray that even his eyes were as gray as a pair of stones on a tombstone.
Prince Taize, the expressions of the three clan leaders immediately stiffened. Even if they didn't know how to do magic, they could tell it was going to be a devastating storm of magic.
"I burn with the flame of life. Rosco, who was flying away, shouted, he had fallen into a half-madness. Not only did that man raise his hand to completely turn the whole situation around, but even the unbreakable faith in his mind was completely destroyed. He felt that the world had collapsed. The madness of his emotions prompted him to use his life directly to induce a mass destruction forbidden spell that his teacher had sealed in this shadow card.
Everything in the hall was blurred, as if it had all melted into the gray, and even Rosco's voice was full of this dead color. His vocal cords were also torn by excessive force as he shouted the incantation: "Come out." Sea of Shadows!"
Then there was silence.
Prince Taize and the others lifted their heads from their arms, stunned to see as if nothing had happened.
Rosco also looked around in surprise. All the sights and colors of the main hall were completely restored, as if nothing had happened. Although he hadn't used this forbidden spell before, he knew that it shouldn't have such an effect.
He took the hand off his head, but saw nothing. The two wrists were empty, not only the shadow cards, but also the palms.
"It's dangerous, it's dangerous. Gru shook his head, a look of remorse and exasperation on his granite sculptural face for the first time. "I didn't think there were these doorways on this thing. ”
Hearing the voice, Rosco turned around, and then saw Gru, who came behind him at some point.
Gru shook the Shadow Card, shaking it to the ground as a blur of flesh on it, and the turbulent waves of magic on it quickly flattened and vanished. Sighed: "Luckily, Nimbas didn't use this at the time." It seems that you should be more careful when dealing with magicians in the future. Then he reached out and pushed it against Rosco's chest.
Rosco's body, which had been standing there, suddenly shot out of thin air like a crossbow arrow. In mid-air, the feeling that was rapidly fading from burning life had time to feel that his lungs were almost spit out of his mouth, and his heart seemed to rush directly into the cavity of his brain.
'Smack'. The Prime Minister and Court Wizard slammed into the walls of the main hall, leaving a pool of blood on it and sliding down.
