Chapter 7: The Chamber of Secrets
Collins scoffed, "Did I say I needed you two to do anything for me?"
William and Crow looked at each other, and became less and less confused about what the king was trying to do. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Collins suddenly pressed a mechanism on his seat, and William and Crow immediately became vigilant, and Collins laughed out loud when he saw their nervous expressions, and after a while, an attendant came in from outside the door, and it was an ordinary attendant.
Collins instructed his attendants, "Go and bring the father and son of the fourth prince here!"
A short time later, a middle-aged man led a chubby boy in, the little boy seemed curious about William Crow, but saw Collins and pounced on him with a smile.
Collins also smiled and hugged the little boy, put him on his lap, and introduced to William and Crow: "This is my grandson, and my favorite grandson!"
William and Crow smiled at the child, who bit his fingers and looked at them curiously.
The middle-aged man bowed to William and Crow and introduced himself, "Knoll Collins!"
William and Crow both nodded at him, and Collins said, "He will be the new King of Reilman, Collins V!"
Neither William nor Crowe had an opinion on this.
His Majesty Collins continued: "I would like to send this boy to Farran, so that he may study at Ball, and whether one of you can be his teacher?"
Crowe smiled and said, "I'm willing to serve you in this matter!"
Crowe spent his early years in the School of Education, and he also liked to be a teacher for the children of the aristocracy, as can be seen from several of his students.
William was silent, Collins was slightly disappointed, he actually wanted William to be a teacher for the child, William didn't say anything, and Collins didn't want to bow his head and beg him.
The fourth prince spoke at this time, and he asked, "Sir William, can you teach my children too?"
William said, "In terms of education, Archbishop Crow is much better than me, and I don't have very good educational skills!" Crow looked at William with a hint of gratitude.
His Majesty Collins waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a name, it's not really for you to teach him anything!"
William saw that Collins had spoken, so he could only agree.
Collins looked very happy and said to the fourth prince: "I sent little Charlie to Fran, you hurry up and clean up the child, don't let his mother cry at home and make the child afraid!"
The fourth prince hurriedly agreed, but Charlie asked, "Grandpa, do you want to drive Charlie away?" After speaking, his chubby little face wrinkled, and he wanted to cry.
His Majesty Collins said solemnly: "Charlie, you are seven years old this year, you can't shed tears at every turn, grandpa was only more than five years old when he left home, grandpa didn't cry, you have to be as strong as grandpa!" After speaking, he patted the child's back, Charlie clenched his little fist and said: "I must be a strong man!
William and Crow looked at each other, and both thought that the child was not bad.
King Collins smiled and said to William and Crow, "I'll trouble you both!"
After the fourth prince took Charlie away, William asked, "Your Majesty, since you want to reconcile with the church, why don't you send Charlie to the education institute?"
Collins laughed and said, "I feel more at ease with this kid in Fran, after all, his godfather is the crown prince of Fran!"
William and Crow looked at each other, thinking that this kid really had a deep background!
Collins finally sent two letters to William and Crow, one to His Majesty Louis of Fran and the other to His Majesty the Pope, Collins finally said: "I have tossed enough in this life, and what I can do for future generations is very limited, and what I can do depends on their creation!"
William and Crow looked at this heroic lord, and they both had a feeling of heroic twilight in their hearts.
After the two returned to the cathedral, they wanted to discuss it with Bishop Allen, but Bishop Allen had already rested, so the two had to go back to their rooms to rest.
When William returned to the room, he found Colin sitting on the bed in a daze, and William asked, "Why didn't you practice today?"
When Colin saw William coming back, he hurriedly said, "Teacher, I found a strange room, there seems to be a mechanism underground!"
William frowned and said, "What room, how did you find it?"
Colin replied embarrassedly: "Andy and I stumbled upon it, I didn't tell them, teacher, is there a treasure in there!"
After he finished speaking, stars almost popped out of his eyes, William was amused in his heart, but he said sternly: "What are you thinking about all day long, either hurry up and cultivate, or hurry up and sleep, don't think about these illusory things!"
William thought to himself, your father is a person who likes to explore treasures, but I didn't expect you to inherit this wonderful quality!
Colin let out a disappointed sigh and sat down on the ground and began to cultivate.
Colin has been thinking about the voice under the floor in his heart, he is confident that there must be a secret under the floor, Colin has been interested in treasure exploration since he was a child, but there is no treasure to speak of in Xingluo Town, today he found a possible treasure, just like a cat saw a fishy fish, and scratched his heart in every way.
On the other side, Collins IV sat on a large throne, and below stood three middle-aged princes, none other than Collins's three sons, who looked at the three children who looked very much like his own, and thought of his eldest son, who had died young.
Collins's eldest son was very emperor in his early years, and he was very courageous, Collins also loved this child very much, but unfortunately there was an accident during a hunt, and he died after being infected with a wound, Collins killed nearly thirty people in the harem to vent his anger, but people could not be resurrected, and Collins could only find another successor.
Among the three sons in front of him, the second prince is a complete waste and has no courage to govern the country, the third prince is too fond of conspiracy and power, and he is not on the right path, and the fourth prince seems to be mediocre again, Collins has not made up his mind to choose an heir.
But since the birth of Charlie, the eldest son of the fourth prince, Collins thought that Charlie was very good, although he was young, he had different qualities from other children, so Collins decided that the fourth prince could be the heir.
The three princes were very restrained in front of Collins, and Collins looked at the second prince coldly, and suddenly asked, "You went to the cathedral today?"
The second prince nodded, and Collins said with dissatisfaction: "You don't stay in the fiefdom well, what are you doing when you come back?"
As soon as he said this, the second prince shuddered, and lowered his head and did not dare to look at Collins.
Collins said to the third prince, "I heard that you have been in close contact with the Bavarian side recently?"
The third prince was shocked, but he still replied freely: "Father, I think Bavaria has not been at peace recently, and I just want to help my father plan!"
Collins sneered: "Plotting, plotting how to assassinate my brother, or preparing to kill my father?"
The third prince hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "I didn't!"
Collins sighed and said, "Third child, if you have always behaved uprightly, I still think you are very good! It's a pity that ......"
The third prince knelt on the ground, tears could not be stopped, he raised his head suddenly and said, "Father, please give me another chance!"
Collins shook his head and said, "There's no chance!"
The third prince seemed to be struck by these words, his face instantly turned a lot whiter, he raised his head to look at Collins, and said, "Father, just because I don't have children, you don't think about me, right?"
Collins sneered: "What is the child, I don't know that you like men, your brother can solve it by passing one to you, but you are not taking the right path, as the head of a country, intrigue and intrigue are indeed needed, but not the most important thing, you are really not suitable to be the monarch of Reilman!"
The third prince quietly listened to Collins's words, slowly stood up, and said to Collins: "Father, since this is the case, then I will assist the new king well, and I will definitely make Relman stronger!"
Collins looked at the third prince coldly, and he waved his hand to let the three sons leave.
Late at night, Colin finally waited for William to fall asleep, he cautiously opened the door and slipped out, and when he was gone, William opened his eyes and smiled.
Colin walked through the Cathedral of Silent Lands to the door of the cottage in the woods, and when he opened the door, Colin lit the torch, and looked at it carefully, and found that everything was the same as when he went out, and he walked to the front of the floor, took his sword from the ring, and knocked on the floor with a crisp sound.
The floor was paved with bluestone slabs, and each one looked the same, but Colin was sure that there must be a mystery underneath the ground, and he carefully searched for the difference between the floors, and finally found a chisel mark on a floor, so Colin began to crack the stone slab hard.
The slate bonding was very tight, and Colin used his strength to knock the slate open, and after knocking open the slate, Colin almost jumped up in excitement, he didn't expect that he had really found a secret room by mistake.
It was pitch black under the slate, and a smell of decay came to his face, Colin quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve, waited for a while, and then threw the torch in his hand underneath, the temporary light of the torch illuminated the secret room below, but it fell to the ground and quickly extinguished. But it was this moment of light that made Colin realize that there was a staircase here, but a few more stone slabs needed to be pried open.
Colin was now full of energy, and he didn't feel tired as he began to pry through all the stone slabs, eventually revealing the hidden staircase.
Colin hesitated in the face of this staircase leading to the bottom, he was afraid that there was something terrible below, but he thought about it for a while and decided to go down and explore.
Colin walked slowly down the stairs, and soon arrived at the secret room underground, the secret room was not big, only a dozen squares, Colin picked up the original torch and walked inside, suddenly, Colin screamed, and sat on the ground in fright!
