Chapter Seventy-Two: An Undercurrent
Just when Li De returned home and reunited with his relatives, the Duke Hughes's Mansion was a gloomy cloud, and the atmosphere became tense and inexplicable, and the people were breathless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The head of the family, the team sent out to search has sent back the news, and no trace of Lord Silas has been found for the time being!" In the hall of the main hall of Duke Hughes's palace, a man in black armor knelt on the ground and said respectfully to the middle-aged man in front of him.
This middle-aged man is the contemporary Duke of the Hughes family, Duke Hughes, one of the most powerful people in the kingdom, and the Hughes family, one of the three major families in the kingdom, is famous.
"What are you eating, you haven't been able to find any trace of Silas for so many days, can a dignified archmage still disappear?" Duke Hughes was not angry but arrogant, not to mention him under the rage, a powerful coercion instantly enveloped the hall, and the man kneeling on the ground suddenly became trembling, and he didn't dare to breathe.
"You give me a bigger search, I must find Silas, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death!" Duke Hughes shouted angrily, and a powerful force exploded, and the hall buzzed.
"Yes, Master!" replied the black-armored man's voice trembling.
The coercion of the Grand Magus is not something that he can easily withstand as a Silver Dou King, but fortunately, Duke Hughes's coercion is not aimed at him personally, otherwise he would have suffered some of them.
It is not easy to cultivate a guard like a black-armored man in the southern kingdoms, and it is impossible for major families to recruit mercenaries in large numbers to serve as family guards, and recruiting a large number of mercenaries as family guards is tantamount to luring wolves into the house. The family needs to be absolutely loyal to its own dead soldiers, not white-eyed wolves.
Silas Hughes has disappeared since entering the Celestial Song Forest, and the Hughes family sent a large number of personnel to conduct a carpet search of the Celestial Song Forest, but found nothing, only the place where the escort was ambushed and the place where Silas fought with the black-robed man.
The disappearance of Silas and the death of the entire escort team shocked the Hughes family, and for a while there was a lot of noise, but fortunately, the other two teams rushed back to the family in time, which eased the tense atmosphere, but when they thought of losing what they had tried to fight for, the whole family was filled with a kind of danger that the building was about to collapse.
Duke Hughes recalled the members of the family in various parts of the kingdom, shrinking the family's territory in preparation for the great war that might ensue.
The forces and organizations that dare to make a move against the Hughes family must not be underestimated in their own strength, not to mention that now a great mage of the Hughes family is still missing and has no trace to be found, which is self-evident.
Unlike the Hughes family, the Hall family and the Hunter family are overjoyed at the moment. When they learned that the Hughes family was going to the Rohan Kingdom to bid for the Thunder Saint Rank Demon Core, they had thought about destroying the Hughes family's plan, but they gave up after thinking about it. Fortunately, now that the drowsiness came, someone sent a pillow, and someone completed the plan for them, which is really happy.
In the palace, in a quaint and simple side hall, King David Blanche is sitting on the throne, listening to the whispering of a dark shadow hidden in the shadows beside him.
"So, no trace of the old man Silas has been found?" Davy murmured with a slight frown.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied the dark shadow as he bowed and said in a low voice.
"That's not a good thing!" David's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice. "The Hughes family went to the Rohan Kingdom to bid for the Holy Rank Demon Core so much, didn't they just want to find an opportunity to break through the Holy Rank, and now this opportunity has disappeared like this, this will make him take a risk!"
"What does Your Majesty mean?" asked the Shadow in a low voice.
"You must be prepared for this matter first, and you must not let this matter spread to the whole kingdom and cause the kingdom to ****!" Davy said with a murderous voice.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Heilan is ready, just waiting for Your Majesty's order!" the black shadow replied in a cold voice, also overflowing with murderous intent.
Heilan, the secret special organization of the Magnolia royal family, is equivalent to the power of the dead soldiers of the major families, and its strength is extremely strong, and only the king can mobilize it.
"This is an extraordinary matter, and there must be no slackness or carelessness!" Davy admonished.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied the dark shadow, then hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Your Majesty, there is one thing that my subordinates think I still need to report to you!"
"What's the matter?" Davy asked in a low voice.
"Carl Reed is back!" whispered the Shadow.
"Is this kid alright?" asked Davy with a hint of a smile.
"His strength has greatly improved, and there is an extra brown bear by his side that is suspected of being a demonic beast, not to be underestimated!" replied the black shadow truthfully.
"This kid didn't disappoint me, I'd like to see him in person when I have the chance, he should know about it by now!" Davy said with a smile.
"According to the information from the Dark Sentinel, Karl Lid has already spotted his traces, and should be aware of our arrangement, but I don't know how he will react!" said the Shadow in a low voice.
"This kid is smart, he will definitely choose to accept the solicitation, how to say that he is also a member of the Magnolia Kingdom, as long as you don't force him to stand on the opposite side of the kingdom, he is still happy to accept such an solicitation!"
"A genius like this will either always have a friendly relationship with him and turn a blind eye to some of his actions, or just nip it in the bud, or he will be a beast when he grows up!" Davy paused and sighed softly.
"It seems that His Majesty has a high opinion of him!" Dark Shadow couldn't help but be full of curiosity when he heard David say this.
"Don't you think he looks a lot like me when I was younger, but if he doesn't, he's already a blockbuster!" Davy said this, his expression lost in memory, and he whispered in remembrance.
As soon as David said this, the black shadow immediately fell into memories and thought of the situation when David was young.
When David was young, he was not the most outstanding prince of the royal family before entering the Magnolia Academy, but after the precipitation of the Magnolia Academy, David soared to the sky, not only became the most dazzling dual-line genius in the kingdom of that era, but also won the position of king with absolute strength in the later battle for the throne.
"Don't talk about it, since this kid is back, then the younger generation of Wangcheng will also become lively. David said playfully. "You go and add fuel to the fire, so that those children of the family who want to trouble him know that he is back, I want to see how this kid can face these troubles!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the shadow bowed, and then his figure disappeared into the shadows, as if it had never been.
As the shadow left, David fell silent, and sat on the throne with his eyes slightly closed.
