Chapter 83: Undercurrents
Faced with the blockade and encirclement of the Praetorian Guard soldiers on the inside and outer three, Yulis's face was calm and turned a blind eye. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In full view of everyone, she lifted her long waterfall-like hair and removed a leaf hidden in her hair.
The leaves, small, green, are covered with supple and complex lines.
The bright moonlight shone on the small leaf, and the leaf was glowing with a thin layer of fluorescence.
Julis took the leaf in her mouth and blew it softly.
An ethereal and beautiful melody sounded, and although the sound was not loud, it was extremely penetrating, and soon spread throughout the gladiatorial arena.
Poof!
Like dominoes, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard, who were blocking and surrounding the stage, threw away their swords one after another as soon as they came into contact with this sound, as if they had been drugged, and instantly fell to the ground, snoring and falling asleep.
Immediately after that, there were the people in the stands on several floors of the gladiatorial arena.
One by one, one after another, almost everyone fell down in a daze, like Master Gates, slumped in their seats without any image to speak of, snoring loudly, and sleeping like a dead pig.
There are very few people in the gladiatorial arena like William who still maintain a clear will.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're not from the Silver Moon Cabaret at all, are you?" asked His Majesty Charles IX with a solemn expression on the first floor of the stands.
Beside him, there were only three people left who were still awake.
One is the cardinal archbishop of the Church of Light.
One is the leader of the Page family, General Carlo.
The last person was a kind-looking old man. Judging from the green leaf epaulettes he was wearing, he should be from the Monro family, and it is even very likely that Lei Ao's father, the current helmsman of the Monro family, the Grand Duke of Monro!
The old man's senses were very acute. William just glanced at him secretly, and he immediately felt something, and turned his head to look in the direction where William was.
William hurriedly lowered his head, closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
The old man didn't find anything, so he withdrew his gaze.
"Your Majesty has good eyesight! We are indeed fakes. ”
On the stage where the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Yulis replied calmly, "A year ago, we took a deal from someone here. And the content of the mission is His Majesty's life. ”
"Who wants my life? You name it, and I'll spare you from dying. His Majesty Charles IX asked with a look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is a secret. Even if you're going to die, I can't tell you. Julius smiled calmly.
"If you don't say it, I'll let you speak later. ”
His Majesty Charles IX shook his head and sighed, stomping the scepter in his hand, "General Carlo, it's time for you to play, take them down for me." ”
"Carlo obeys!"
A smile appeared on General Carlo's white face, and he said confidently and calmly.
The terrifying and powerful fighting spirit instantly condensed a pair of wings behind him, like a meteor, and rushed towards the stage at great speed.
He's fast, and Yulis is even faster.
Even William didn't see Eulith's movements clearly, and she already had a large black bow in her hand.
No arrows were used, but Julius drew the bowstring.
In the next moment, even a rookie magician like William could feel the fire element in the air empty.
The fire elementals are all gathered on the bowstring of the big black bow in Yulis's hand!
A flaming arrow burning with blazing flames took shape in an instant, dragging its long tail wing, and shot head-on at General Carlo.
"Elemental Bow!"
General Carlo shouted, stunned, and quickly dodged!
Fortunately, he dodged in time. The flaming arrows narrowly passed by him, shooting into the dark sky with a series of eardrum-piercing sonic booms, and finally bursting open.
A strong, scorching aura swept through, and many trees rustled in the Delaeno Manor.
Pretending to be unconscious, William held his breath and his eyes were fixed on the battle below.
Next, Yuris fired another arrow.
This is also an arrow condensed by the elements, and it is covered in ice, which is the opposite of the previous flame arrow, which is an arrow of ice.
It's just that the target of this arrow is not General Carlo, who has been forced back, but His Majesty Charles IX, who is watching the battle on the first floor of the gladiatorial arena!
The power of this arrow is equally terrifying, and it seems that even the air will freeze!
Even though the target was not himself and he was very far away, William still felt a trace of cold aura emanating from the Ice Arrow, which made people feel like falling into an ice cave.
This arrow, beside His Majesty Charles IX, the Grand Duke of Montroe and the Archbishop of the Church of Light saw it, and they were all powerless and powerless to stop it.
It's really fast, they don't have the strength of General Carlo, they can only watch!
Just look at Yulis's bow, at this moment, the arrow of ice is about to touch the throat of His Majesty Charles IX!
William was horrified, and just when he thought that His Majesty was going to die, in the vast darkness, a small hand like a baby wearing black leather gloves suddenly appeared.
The ice arrow shot by Yuris was grabbed by this deformed little hand.
With just a slight pinch, the ice arrows turned into ice chips and scattered all over the ground.
"If you're holding a real elemental bow in your hand, I won't be able to catch this arrow. But unfortunately, all you have in your hand is a mere artifact. ”
In the vast darkness, an old voice was heard. The owner of the little hand finally appeared.
He was short in stature, about the same height as the dwarves, and wore an ordinary mage robe with a wizard's hat on top of his head, which obscured his appearance.
He glanced at everyone in the Silver Moon Song and Dance Troupe on the stage, and finally his eyes fell on Yuris, "You are not my opponent. The blatant assassination of His Majesty is an unforgivable sin, and you can be captured. ”
When Yu Lisi heard this, she said calmly: "I have long heard that there has always been a strong man by His Majesty's side today, and his strength is terrifying. Now it seems that it was. ”
"I'm not a match for Mr. I'm not a match, but it's impossible to be caught. Euris smiled.
Before the words fell, a small white point of light suddenly appeared above the stage.
At first, it was still small, but in the blink of an eye, the white light quickly expanded, turning into a blazing white light, enveloping Yuris and all the members of the Silver Moon Song and Dance Troupe.
William's eyes narrowed in the light.
The next moment, the white light dissipated, and by the time he opened his eyelids completely, the figures of Yulis and the others had disappeared strangely on the stage.
"Mr. Joe, why do you want to let them go!" said His Majesty Charles IX angrily.
Mr. Qiao, who was in a deformed figure, sighed and explained, "Your Majesty, she used the space-time moon wheel just now, and I can't stop it. ”
"Space-time Moon Ring, one of the top ten artifacts, Space-Time Moon Ring, hasn't that artifact disappeared for hundreds of years?" His Majesty asked.
Mr. Qiao shook his head, did not answer, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Use an imitation artifact to assassinate, and use the space-time moon wheel to escape...... What a big deal!"
His Majesty Charles IX took a deep breath and calmed the restlessness in his heart, "General Carlo, were you injured in the battle just now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have a small abrasion on my shoulder, and I will be fine for a few days. General Carlo stepped forward and replied.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, give me a strict investigation!"
"Your Majesty, the demon girl said before that they assassinated Your Majesty because they were entrusted by someone present, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Don't you understand what I mean? I'll give you the right to strictly investigate it!"
"Your Majesty, I know what to do. ”
.........
There was such a mistake on the night of the banquet, and His Majesty Charles IX was obviously in no mood and continued to celebrate.
After he drove back to the palace, it didn't take long for the unconscious people in the gladiatorial arena to gradually wake up.
William also pretended to wake up slowly, and looked at Young Master Gates, who had just woken up, with a blank look in his eyes.
On this night, there was no imaginary singing and dancing, no drunkenness and no return, and the imperial capital was quite quiet.
And under the illusion of calm, there is an undercurrent.
Many aristocratic lords tried all means to secretly inquire about what happened at the banquet that night.
Paper can't hold the fire, and besides, it's not a secret to hide.
The Duke's Mansion of the Monro Family, known as the 'Green Leaf Family', was the first to spread the news, and a subordinate narrated the truth of what happened that night.
Subsequently, news came out that a certain steward of the Page family acquiesced, and said that the head of the family, General Carlo, had formed an investigation team to secretly investigate the assassination incident.
As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar.
People rushed to be the first to discuss, or in groups of three or five, or two or two acquaintances gathered, and the assassination incident also completely became the talk of the afternoon.
The headline 'news' in the imperial capital today is no longer the one of which family has kept which pretty widow, nor is it the upstart of the imperial capital, the beer and perfume of the Lester family.
It was in such a complicated situation that in the imperial capital aristocratic district, the mansion of the Lester family, an extremely distinguished guest, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, was ushered in.
