Chapter 993: Assassination!
After leaving the Phantom, Merlin got into the carriage and said calmly, "Go to Count Ottadi's castle." ”
The coachman didn't ask anything, just flicked his whip and drove the carriage to Ottadi's estate.
On the carriage, Merlin squinted slightly, and now the shape shì is really getting weirder and weirder, or in a sense, this is also bright.
The king, the second prince, and the eldest princess are almost three-legged now, but in fact, the king's power is not as terrible as imagined, and the princes and princesses in the royal family have strong and terrifying real power.
For example, the army that completely protects the palace now is actually completely in the hands of the second prince and the eldest princess, of course, the second prince's power is greater, but now that the eldest princess has Merlin's support, I am afraid that the shape will be reversed immediately.
Once the shape is reversed, this is a break in the balance, which will inevitably cause some conflicts, and perhaps, next, Merlin will have to prepare to deal with these sudden conflicts.
"The biggest possibility is the second prince, maybe, he will do it......"
Merlin kept analyzing in his mind, the balance was broken, then there must be one party who would make a move, Merlin had never dealt with the second prince, but he knew that the second prince's subordinates also had several strong men who were all beasts, and they seemed to be strong men in the army.
The army and the palace, as well as the phantom, are actually three parts of power, originally the king controlled the phantom, the second prince controlled the army, and the eldest princess controlled some forces in the palace, but the second prince's previous power was too strong, and he had extended his tentacles to the prince, and the eldest princess was also defeated.
Fortunately, the eldest princess made a quick decision. Immediately wooed Merlin at any cost. Well now. With Merlin, the power of the eldest princess can be regarded as extending into the phantom, and it is precisely because of meddling in the king's power that Merlin will be warned by Ferron sent by the king.
The affairs of this royal family are simple and simple, but they are also complicated.
"Squeak".
Soon, Merlin felt the body shake down. Then he stopped, and Merlin lifted the curtain, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the castle of the Count of Ottadi.
"Wait for me here. ”
So Merlin jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the manor of the Earl of Ottadi.
In a luxurious room, candles are lit and a hint of fragrance wafts through the room.
In the room, a handsome man sat calmly on a chair, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. was listening to the reports of the three middle-aged men in front of him.
"Second Highness, it seems that the eldest princess has indeed won over Leo, the new deputy minister of the Phantom. This Leo, who killed the chimpanzee king, was later hunted down by the Doomsday Bloodmassacre, but was saved by Ferron. ”
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, the old man saved this Leo, and he originally wanted to make him work, but what happened? It was the good sister who cheapened me, tsk, my good sister, your power is expanding so fast, and you have put your hand into the phantom, I don't believe that the old man will be indifferent?"
This young man is the Holy Dragon Empire, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who holds the power of the army, and the three people in front of him should be the commanders of the army that His Royal Highness the Second Prince values the most, and all of them are powerful beings who are all beasts, and they are not weaker than the leader of the Phantom Battle Group, the Violent Bear King Hurt.
The reason why the second prince was able to control the army was also related to his mother, his mother, who was the royal family of the Holy Dragon Empire and the descendant of the most prestigious God of War family, but unfortunately, with the turmoil in the empire, the power of the army was not as strong as before.
"Second Highness, Your Majesty is afraid that he will be forbearing, the current shape is different from before, the royal family has to try a way to win over some powerful people, this Leo is indeed powerful, and it is rumored that he is still a parasite. However, relying on Leo, if the eldest princess slowly masters the phantom, even if Faelon stops her, Leo can only grasp part of the rights of the phantom, which is also a great improvement, I am afraid that the power of the eldest princess will immediately surpass us. ”
The commander of the army still said with some concern, even if they have not personally tried the means of the eldest princess, they have heard of it, and they must not be underestimated.
The rivalry between the royal families is sometimes more cruel and terrifying than anything else.
"Yes, my dear sister, I really underestimated her. Now that she has not yet developed a general trend, we must do it immediately, Leo, you can just send someone to warn, he will understand, if you can take refuge in me, it will be good, if you don't, wait until my dear sister dies, no matter how strong he is, it will not make any difference. ”
"Therefore, the two, send someone at once, the focus is on Lisa, she must die!"
The second prince exuded an aura of indifference, and there was a faint trace of murderous aura.
"Your Highness, members of the royal family are not allowed to kill each other, I am afraid it is not appropriate to do so. ”
A middle-aged man said with some hesitation.
"Hmph, the rules set by those old guys are usually okay, but now is the time when the empire is in turmoil, as long as I kill Lisa and hold the power of the army, will those old guys really want to execute me? ”
The eyes of the second prince were full of madness.
The three middle-aged men pondered for a while, and then finally nodded and said: "The all-beast powerhouse is too easy to expose, I'm afraid that the eldest princess's intelligence department has already mastered the all-beast powerhouse in our army." Therefore, the all-beast powerhouse must not be sent, otherwise, before he gets close to the eldest princess, he is afraid that he will be discovered. ”
"Can't you send a fully beastified powerhouse, the beast fourth form is too weak to kill Lisa? My sister, although not very strong, is also a top-level giant beast bloodline, and has also reached the fourth form of beasthood! Besides, there must be a secret all-beast powerhouse by her side. ”
The second prince frowned, it was indeed difficult to kill the eldest princess by sneak attack, and he couldn't send a strong man who was a full beast. A faction. It's exposed.
"And one more person. I will definitely be able to do it. With him to make a move, the sneak attack will be nine out of ten!"
The second prince's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think of someone, and said in a deep voice: "You mean the shadow thorn? However, he wants to get close to the Heavenly Lion Holy Beast, he is too greedy. ”
"Second Highness, as long as you can kill the eldest princess, the shadow thorn is useless. When the time comes, whether or not to take him to see the Heavenly Lien Sacred Beast is completely up to us!"
The three middle-aged men all laughed, yes, no matter how strong the shadow thorn is, it is only the fourth form of beast transformation, as long as it is not a sneak attack, the threat of the shadow thorn is not much.
Even, in the end, the second prince can design. Kill the Shadow Thorn.
"Very well, just do it. Go and inform the Shadow Thorn, I promised him his conditions, as long as he can kill Lisa, I will immediately take him to get close to the Heavenly Lien Sacred Beast!"
The second prince showed a hint of anticipation on his face, he had been waiting for this day for a long time......
In the castle of Count Ottardy, Ottardy looked at Merlin enthusiastically, in fact, as the Earl of Ottardy, he also knew some of Merlin's situation.
Of course, he definitely didn't know about the secret news like the Phantom Deputy Minister, but the fact that Merlin killed the chimpanzee king spread among the upper echelons of the nobility, and almost everyone knew about it.
Therefore, Count Outadi naturally knew that his eyes at Merlin at the moment were full of eagerness and anticipation.
"Leo, have you really reached the level of full beasthood?"
After a long time, Count Otardi finally couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice, and even Barasa next to him blinked her big beautiful eyes and stared at Merlin tightly.
"Yes!"
Merlin nodded slightly, which was kind of admitting it himself.
"Hoo ......"
Count Outadi breathed a long sigh of relief, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, all beasts, such a great powerhouse, even if it was the ancestor of Count Outadi, there was only one who reached it.
Moreover, Count Outadi remembered very well that Merlin was still a parasite, and it was really unimaginable that this parasite was a beast-like powerhouse.
"Leo, the Orb of Infamy is still with you?"
Seeing Ou Tadi asking, Merlin could only take out the Pearl of Infamy, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm really sorry, this Pearl of Infamy is because of me, and the will of the giant beast that was sealed and suppressed in it has disappeared." ”
Merlin naturally won't say the will of the fusion giant beast, this is his biggest hole card now, and it will not be revealed until the critical moment, after all, it is too terrible to fuse the will of countless giant beasts and enhance their strength.
Count Outadi didn't care at all, waved his hand and said, "You take the Pearl of Infamy, I know that the Pearl of Infamy can seal and suppress the will of the giant beast, maybe you still have it." If the ancestor knew that relying on the pearl of notoriety, he would be able to give birth to a parasitic all-beast powerhouse again, he would also be very pleased. ”
The Earl of Ottadi may now be closer to Merlin than his daughter.
"By the way, Merlin, I agreed with your father that Barasha's wedding to you has been missed for various reasons, but it doesn't matter, now you can discuss it again at any time. In my opinion, what do you think of it in just a month?"
"And Miss Reese. ”
Merlin didn't forget Jì Rees, the girl he had seen when he first came into the world.
"Okay, if there is no objection, how about I handle the wedding?"
Count Ottadi seemed very enthusiastic, but this was also in line with Merlin's wishes, and he didn't have the energy to prepare for these miscellaneous things, so it was naturally best to have Count Ottadi do it for him.
"As soon as the earl is yi. ”
The Earl of Ottardy seemed pleased, and kept Merlin for a long time, until it was a little dark, and Merlin was able to leave.
"Hoo ......"
As soon as he walked out of the house, the cold wind blew, which made Merlin feel much clearer, and thinking of the enthusiasm of Count Otarddy, Merlin felt full of helplessness.
But it's finally settled.
Merlin got into the carriage and said directly, "Hurry back to the castle." ”
The coachman understood, and immediately whipped his whip, sped up, and galloped back to the castle.
As the sky gradually darkened, there were only a few sparse people walking around the streets, and there were some lights illuminating the slightly dim roads.
Merlin slouched half-leaning on the carriage, rarely thinking about anything, his mind went blank.
No one noticed. On the bluestone pavement. A dark shadow leaned silently against the wall. When the carriage passed, suddenly, the black shadow swelled and turned into a terrifying beast.
"Bang".
The beast roared and slammed its fist into the carriage, which had barely any resistance, including the coachman on it. They were all smashed into a pile of meat puree in an instant.
"Roaring ......"
Suddenly, a roar rang out, and from the fragments of the carriage, a huge palm appeared, as if to block the surrounding sky, and slapped it on the giant beast.
"Click".
The body of the giant beast cracked in an instant, and the blood was boiling, and the speed was very fast.
"Bang".
From the inside out, the giant beasts were blown to pieces, and their flesh was thrown into the air. The blood rain turned into specks was shocking. Even the smell of blood lingered in the air.
In the smoke and dust, Merlin's figure appeared, a mere beast fourth form, actually came to assassinate him, isn't this sending him to death?
"Who the hell is Ferron? He just warned me that there was no need to do it again. Moreover, using the fourth form of beast transformation to send me to death is not really to assassinate me at all, but to warn. ”
"Warning? At present, in the Holy Dragon City, I am the closest to the eldest princess, if I really want to warn, it must be related to the eldest princess, is it the second prince?"
Merlin immediately analyzed all kinds of possibilities in his mind, and finally felt that there was a great possibility that it was the warning of the second prince who had not yet met.
"If it's just a warning, why is it at this time......?
Merlin was suddenly startled in his heart, he thought of a possibility, and suddenly, he turned around sharply and strode towards the palace, with Merlin's body now, even if he did not become a beast, he ran with all his might, and he was faster than the carriage I don't know how many times.
"Boom".
Suddenly, the entire palace almost shook, and an incomparable beast appeared in the palace, and that vast aura contained endless anger.
"It's not good, it's the all-beast powerhouse next to Lisa!"
When Merlin saw this giant beast, the uneasy premonition in his heart became even stronger, and even the all-beast powerhouses around the eldest princess had already burst out of this terrifying power, showing the true body of the all-beast, which meant that the eldest princess must have encountered danger.
Thinking of this, Merlin's speed sped up a few more points, and he rushed towards the palace of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess still left the palace as usual, preparing to go to the king's palace to say goodbye, this is the etiquette that the eldest princess must do every day, which is much better than the second prince.
It's just that this time, when she just walked to the garden halfway through, suddenly, a black shadow actually approached the eldest princess silently, and the white light flashed in her hand, and the eldest princess even felt a slight pain, and then she lost consciousness.
"Flutter".
That white mang was a sharp knife, and with a direct slash, the eldest princess's head fell off, without even a trace of reflection.
"Shadow Thorn, you dare to kill the eldest princess and suffer death!"
The eldest princess had a fully beastly powerhouse beside her, and seeing the eldest princess's body fall to the ground softly, this all-beast powerhouse even felt a little humiliated.
Under his protection, the eldest princess actually died silently, this is the shadow thorn, only the shadow thorn has such strength, so that people don't even react, so they die.
"Bump".
The all-beast guards roared and almost smashed a palace to pieces, but the figure of the shadow thorn had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. This is the Shadow Thorn, who has almost never missed, and has never been caught, and no one has even seen the true face of the Shadow Thorn.
"Damn it, Shadow Thorn, damn it, get out of here!"
This all-beast powerhouse almost went crazy, frantically destroying the palace, such a huge movement will definitely attract the attention of the masters in the palace.
"Whoosh".
Finally, Merlin rushed over, and when he saw the body of the eldest princess lying on the ground, not even a head, an irrepressible killing intent immediately appeared in his heart.
The crazy all-beast powerhouse was frantically destroying the surroundings, and even Merlin didn't see it clearly, and the huge fist smashed down directly, and the whistling wind even made a gas explosion.
"Get out!"
Merlin let out a low roar, his arm instantly turned into a beast, and a punch blasted out, the all-beast giant beast showed a look of pain on his face, and his huge body was actually smashed by Merlin's random punch and flew out.
"Boom".
The huge giant beast body fell heavily to the ground, and the strong man who was all beasts saw clearly that it was Merlin, but his eyes were full of awe.
No wonder the eldest princess values Merlin so much, and she didn't think somuch before, but now, Merlin smashed him away with just one punch, if you want to kill him, I'm afraid it's easy, and you don't need to make any effort at all.
"Who killed the eldest princess?"
Merlin's eyes turned red, whether he was using the eldest princess or the eldest princess using him, but they were indeed temporarily tied together.
And with the support of the eldest princess, he can share the rights of the entire empire, which is the best choice for Merlin who wants to rely on the power of the empire to better understand the world.
But now, the eldest princess is dead, and Merlin's plan is bankrupt, and the anger in his heart can naturally be imagined.
Seeing Merlin's indifferent eyes, this all-beast powerhouse felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It's the Shadow Thorn, it was he who assassinated Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the Shadow Thorn, although he is not the second prince's person, but he has a close relationship with the second prince, and this matter is nine times out of ten, it is the second prince's instructions." ”
"Second Prince?"
Merlin stood up slowly, although his eyes were calm, but the chill exuding from his body made people shudder.
"Marquis Leo, you...... What are you going to do?"
The all-beast powerhouse seemed to feel fear and asked in a low voice.
"To kill, of course!"
Merlin turned around, and when he was about to leave, the all-beast powerhouse, gritting his teeth, seemed to have made some decision, and said softly: "Marquis Leo, actually...... In fact, Her Royal Highness the princess is not dead!"
"Huh".
Merlin turned around sharply, his gaze was like a blade, staring at this all-beast powerhouse.
