Chapter 572: Revenge
Enraged, Conrad gasped, hugged Elizabeth, who was as pale as a dead man, and returned to his bedchamber, where she was properly placed in a soft chair for resting, and then strode out of the chamber like an angry bull.
He first went to the office of Mata XIII in the Hydra Palace, which was empty.
He quickened his speed and rushed into the small library where Mata XIII usually studied, and there was still no ghost here.
After searching for several places where Mata XIII usually stayed, finally, when Conrad couldn't help but want to destroy a palace to vent his anger, he finally found Mata XIII squatting by the pond next to a secluded water lily pond in the back garden.
Dressed in an old-fashioned army uniform in iron gray, with his hands tucked in his sleeves, Mata XIII crouched quietly by the pond like a bad old man cowering in the corner of a farm basking in the sun.
In the Hydra Palace, there are some places that are a little mysterious.
For example, this water lily pond, which is surrounded by dense trees, is still rippling in the pond during such a cold winter season, and there is not the slightest ice or snow in the pond.
The pond is full of water lilies that are dark or light in color, and they are blooming brilliantly.
A few water ducks were swimming comfortably in the pond, and when Conrad was angry and followed the tree-lined path, Mata XIII stretched out his right hand and lightly touched his lips with his index finger: "Shhhh ”
A few pale golden trout, about the length of a palm, are chasing and frolicking around a few water lily pads.
Mata XIII smiled at the little ones, not even looking at Conrad, whose eyes were red.
"Grandfather!" Conrad's body was filled with wisps of black air, and he roared in a low voice.
"Shhh......h Learn from your brother Salian, who is much better than you today. He's been in charge of the War Department, and he's not on a rampage like you. Mata XIII smiled gently.
"That's because his wife wasn't beaten, that's because he wasn't threatened...... Someone, a courtier of the Empire, actually threatened an imperial prince, saying that he would kill him with a sword! Conrad stood behind Mata XIII and clenched his fists with both hands, making a 'click' sound.
Mata XIII finally looked back at him: "Salian's wife was not beaten because she did not arrogantly break into the palace of Apophis to provoke the little fat man, and the henchmen around her did not interfere in the operation of the Ministry of Supervision in a vain attempt to make things difficult for a noble imperial marquis. ”
Conrad took a sharp step back, clapped his hands heavily, and slammed his mouth shut.
And Salian was not threatened because he did not rely on his power and position to break into the palace of Apophis...... To interfere with something, or to obstruct something. Mata XIII slowly stood up: "Your grandmother, in the palace of Apophis, you should know about this. ”
Conrad pursed his lips vigorously and nodded vigorously.
"Heilinger's killing, she threw it to Joe, you should know it too."
Conrad nodded vigorously again.
"She, she didn't take back Helinger's killing, her attitude, you should know it."
Conrad was silent for a moment, then spread his hands.
Mata XIII shook his head slightly, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the water ducks and small trout playing in the pond: "After understanding her attitude, I left the Apophis Palace, so as not to cause trouble to the little fat man...... I'm hiding here, and you should understand what that means. ”
Conrad lowered his head: "The abyssal creatures appeared directly next door to the Hydrera, in the hinterland of Hydrerabad, this is something that should never happen. ”
Mata XIII sneered: "This is also something that must not be tolerated...... So, let Joe do it, his indiscriminate slashing and killing, perhaps, there will be an unexpected gain......"
Mata XIII's eyes were extremely cold, full of coldness and ruthlessness that made Conrad tremble: "The enemy doesn't follow the rules, so naturally we also have the right to break the rules." Anyone, I mean, anyone, if he, or she, dares to stand on the opposite side of the Empire, then, he, or she, must bear the consequences. ”
Conrad's burly body bent down, and he said in a low voice, "Eliza...... She, she...... It doesn't have anything to do with her. ”
Mata XIII shrugged his shoulders, he walked up to Conrad and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Who knows? Maybe it's related, maybe it's not...... A princess of the Ice Sea Kingdom, she is all about the Ice Sea Kingdom after all. ”
He smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and asked Conrad with a smile in a mocking tone: "How is it, is there a plan to change another wife?" ”
Conrad looked up in horror and looked at Mata XIII with a look of horror.
Mata XIII smiled gently, his face was full of smiles, but his eyes were extremely cold: "Perhaps, in a few days, Elizabeth will be seriously ill and die, who knows?" It's also possible that the madmen from Hill's church assassinated her...... Poison her? Well, poisoning and death, this is a statement that is acceptable to all the countries of the continent of Medland! ”
Conrad's face turned pale, and his burly body trembled subconsciously.
He stammered, "She, she, she ......"
Mata XIII squinted his eyes and looked Conrad up and down: "It seems that it has nothing to do with you. Well, you also know that one of the most elite spy forces in the Deren Empire is controlled by my grandmother. ”
"Unlike the Ice Sea Kingdom, the Delen Empire is not good at this kind of shady trick of spying on secrets and intelligence."
"But, they're not waste, and their abilities are still good."
"Although, there is no real evidence to be caught, but Elizabeth, no doubt because of Magnum...... Or, because of the glass of beer that Prince George was splashed on her face, she met someone who didn't match her. ”
Conrad's lips all lost their color.
He frowned tightly and looked at Mata XIII with deep eyes: "You, noticed?" ”
Mata XIII was silent for a moment and nodded: "As I said just now, I haven't caught the real evidence yet, but she has some ...... People who shouldn't be touched, have contact. Moreover, it is such a sensitive period, which is very bad. ”
Conrad's whole body collapsed, and his voice became extremely haggard: "I am, really...... Love ......"
Mata XIII sighed heavily and shook his head: "You really love her, what's the matter with those little secretaries in the Admiralty?" How did you get those little girls in those secret residences in Hydrderabad? Well, not to mention, the lady of the Chamber of Commerce who supplied you with oak timber at the Navy Yard to the north! ”
Conrad's face turned red suddenly, and he looked at Mata XIII in embarrassment, sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Love? Tsk......"
Conrad was embarrassed and bowed deeply to Mata XIII.
"If the matter is really related to her, I will solve it myself."
Mata XIII was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "It's time to deal with it properly...... Come to think of it, her personal butler would dare to meddle in the internal affairs of the Imperial Supervision Department. Her son even colluded with those gentlemen to do such a big rebellious thing. ”
"Conrad, you, think clearly, that mutual aid fraternity in Magnum...... Without her help, the teenage Magnum, where did he get this power to form such a damn association and even ...... And managed to do so many damn things. ”
"Magnum and a bunch of little bastards are in solitary confinement, but...... I know that many of your Excellencies are disgruntled. The mere confinement of Magnum was not enough to appease the anger against the royal family in their hearts. ”
"And a princess, I think, is enough." Mata XIII looked at Conrad with a smile.
Conrad took a deep breath, and then nodded vigorously: "I will arrange people to protect Eliza twenty-four hours a day." ”
What is rare today is a good weather.
The dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the strong wind, and the golden sun shone down.
The black smoke from the ruins of the Apophis Palace, as well as other destroyed buildings, gradually dissipated. A huge war airship sped in from the north, and as it approached the Apophis Palace, the war airship slowly slowed down and began to descend gradually.
Three hundred feet above the ground, more than a dozen Hydra guards leaped out of the airship pod with a desperate look on their faces.
Joe ...... Joe...... Forgive me...... Forgive me...... I don't know, I don't know anything...... I have no enmity towards you, trust me! Before Vilenya could hit the ground, she screamed hysterically in the air.
Joe, still wrapped in a woolen blanket, sat on a large chair in the open air with a gloomy face.
It's really ...... His physique is too exaggerated, and he really can't fit on normal people's clothes. And yesterday there was a fire, and the palace of Apophis was burned to shreds, and all his clothes were destroyed.
At the moment, he could only barely wrap a wool blanket to cover his shame.
Hearing Vilenya's scream, Joe lifted Erlang's legs, and his feet stained with mud and dust swayed slowly.
Several of the Hydra guards were extremely rough, like pinching the skin of a cat's neck, pinching the flesh of the back of Vilenya's neck, and in her screams, they lifted her in front of Joe, and then pushed her to the ground.
Vilenya fell to the ground, she shivered and straightened up, and looked at Joe in horror: "Joe...... I ......"
Joe sighed, "I thought we could be friends, even close allies. But, who would have thought? ”
"Just now, an archbishop of the Church who specializes in chasing down all kinds of evil forces told me that the abyss portal in the palace of Apophis could never have been born naturally...... At this time in time, it is impossible for a permanent abyss portal of this scale to emerge around Hyderabad. ”
"There must be an extremely powerful spell mage, using some kind of strange forbidden spell to absorb the power of dozens of abyssal rifts, in order to form such a large-scale abyss portal...... And this is completely consistent with what happened to the extermination team around Hyderabad last night. ”
"Inside my palace of Apophis, something appeared that shouldn't have appeared, and it was that thing that opened the portal to the abyss."
"Unfortunately, the place where the Abyss Portal was opened is my vault."
"And I thought about it for a long, long time, and I only had gold coins and banknotes in my vault, as well as some bits and pieces of precious stones, pearls, agate, amber, and so on."
"The only ...... The new item that could have triggered all of this is the ruby you pledged to me! ”
Joe smiled brightly at Vilenya.
"Last night, I lost 1,679 of my loyal subordinates."
"One thousand six hundred and seventy-nine!"
"I've decided to kill the 167,900 Portusians and give them a breath first!"
