"Bailey, reckless fellow!" Evan stood up again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The General Staff of the Military Department didn't say anything, he just used his thick muscles to face the Queen Mother Regent. Odin's face did not change: "Let's add another twenty gold coins—a total of one hundred, to bet on whether the Queen Mother Lelia can control this chaos." ”

The black-armored cavalry stood neatly in front of the gate of the Golden Palace like a column of cold metal, which contrasted sharply with the golden palace.

There is no doubt that the legion of lions, loyal to the House of Sieri, could be the first to arrest the Queen Mother at the sound of an order, and then the angry nobles around them would break into the king's bedroom, tie up the seven-year-old child, and the country would change hands again.

If Bailey orders.

"It's scary, this woman's face is like a dead person—her legs hidden under her skirt won't be shaking. The first knuckle of Evan's fingers clenched, trying to hide his nervousness.

"If they are allowed to rush in, the empire will be in chaos. You know, there is no king, there is no ruler, so that the dark night where the beast hides disappears, and the careerists are exposed to the sun. How much meat can the Deep Valley Wolf snatch?" Odin craned his jaw.

"It's hard to say......," said Evan, who smiled meaningfully, "Let's see if a woman can hold off a group of cavalry." ”

I saw that the Queen Mother Regent was dressed in red, her thin face was slightly sunken, and her face was blue. Her green eyes were frosty, and she stared at the black-armored cavalry with a long sword—this time not a wooden sword, but an iron blade.

Step by step, she walked towards Bailey-Sierry, her red dress dragging across the floor at the entrance to the palace, but no attendant dared to step forward and hold up the hem of her skirt.

Lelia walked up to her younger brother Elio Parton, swept her thin, pale hand over his waist, and pulled out his matching sword, the Eagle Vulture, and the long sword, which weighed more than ten pounds, drew its blade, causing the former Prime Minister to shake his upper body.

The two looked at each other coldly, and Lelia stepped back and pointed her sword at her brother's throat.

Elio's face turned angry, and he looked like he wanted to pounce on his sister.

However, the Queen Mother Regent held the "Eagle Vulture", swept the neck of the former Prime Minister, and walked straight towards Bailey-Sieri.

The sword, which represented the Silver Eagle City, was attached to the neck of the Military General Staff, as silent as the Lion Legion. The two forces are silently facing each other, one is a lonely and fierce kingship, and the other is an ambitious, divisive underground undercurrent.

The General Staff of the Military Department looked sideways at the sword around his neck and laughed dryly: "The Queen Mother has slaughtered hundreds of people last night, do you want to cut off my head today? ”

Lelia's face was cold, as if it had been carved, and she was not affected by her former lover in the slightest: "Please recognize a fact first. Last night's incident cannot be called a 'massacre', because the executor is the Central Inquisition, which represents the Sanctuary. ”

"How the list ended up in the hands of the jury, I will find out thoroughly. ”

"But if you doubt the impartiality of the Inquisition, you doubt the sanctuary and the will of the true God. King Repon Stanley is the crowned monarch of the Sanctuary, and I am the regent personally appointed by the Holy Priest of the Empire. Perhaps last night's ruling was just a warning that the tribunal had found that these people were intent on subverting the regime. You will see what will happen to them. ”

Lelia's voice was like cold iron.

"Anyone who tries to override the royal power and tries to rebel will be put to death - no matter what duty they are in, no matter what power they claim to wield, the guillotine will be their fate, this is the will of the true God and the Holy Land, and the world cannot disobey it. ”

After Odin repeated the words of the Queen Regent, he clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "You will have a wonderful army, and never underestimate the power of women." ”

Evan Hall's face was complicated, and he seemed relieved and a little lost. He sat back in the soft leather chair, sighed, and took a small sip of frost wine: "Warlock, no, Odin, you said it, until the last moment, I don't know the result. ”

Odin happily put the last spoonful of white truffle into his stomach, took another sip of the golden wine, and smiled with satisfaction: "Ah, the whole situation has been decided, the Queen Mother said to her former lover, kneel down in front of me - the momentum has been victorious." ”

Bailey-Sieri's slightly darkened face, his eyebrows twisted, and his eyes bulging out more like beasts—he could see that he was trying to control the anger in his heart.

After such a stalemate for a long time, he still did not make a sound, but lowered his eyelids, took a few steps back, and knelt down on one knee in front of the Queen Mother Regent. This is a humiliation for a male lion.

Odin tapped the table, and the sound of silver cutlery and disks shaking startled the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was nervously watching.

"One hundred gold coins, I won. ”

Evan Hall had a look of swallowing a fly. He groped into his pocket, a little uncomfortably—certainly not with a hundred gold coins with him.

"Just write an IOU, and I can withdraw it at any time from any property that belongs to Deep Valley City. In your words, my lord, it's enough for me to eat for a lifetime!"

Odin seemed to be genuinely relieved of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his speech returned to politeness.

Evan was of course embarrassed to deal with a hillbilly and ate the money for the white truffle, black roe, and frost wine, which was enough to pay another hundred gold coins.

"But then we're in a dangerous position - ah, don't be too stingy, you see, I'm really at the service of the Timberwolves. I have a hundred ways to put power in the hands of the Hall family, who have never been on the verge of real power!" Odin snorted.

However, Evan Hall did not dare to disagree as before.

"Now we're on this elevated shelf -- when the wind blows, we have to tremble our legs. And now no one is silent in the Golden Palace, but it looks like a volcano that is about to erupt, and it is estimated that under the lily stone floor, you can see magma. The entire empire, from the court to the locality, hangs on a thin line. Odin knocked on the table.

Evan didn't want to hear that—and yet he had to admit that the civilian was telling the truth.

"Tell me why our situation is dangerous. ”

"Secrets can never be covered. Next, the royal family and the royal council will each thoroughly investigate the truth of the incident. Even if there is no evidence, they can suspect you from the clues. ”

Odin spread his hands and naturally included himself in the alliance of interests: "Exposing ambition too early is not good for Deep Valley City. Breaking the enemy's neck with a single blow is our way of doing things. ”

"Didn't you say the risk was low?" Evan Hall was a little annoyed, now that the civilian had kicked the mess back to him.

"Therefore, this terrible tragedy can only be swept to the bottom of the sea with a greater storm and waves, and then everyone will have no time to investigate the perpetrators of the matter. The premise is - to bring down the royal family as soon as possible. Odin replied.

"So what do you think should be done?" As a businessman, Evan likes to look at other people's hole cards first.

Next, the rebels will ignite sparks across the country, and the city-state will refuse to pay taxes, making it even more difficult for the already embarrassed royal family. Odin knew that the other party wanted to find out what he thought, so he patiently analyzed it in detail.

"So--we have to do something to get the Imperial Coalition out as soon as possible, preferably prepared in a hurry, without pay, and with a lack of morale, which will be necessary to overthrow the throne. Of course, I can guarantee that Paliva will win, and if not, I will inflict heavy losses on the Imperial army. ”

This was a condition that had been negotiated before, and despite the Warlock's astonishing ability to play with power, Evan dismissed the promise as a matter of day. But the Jungle Wolf will not be without a way back, as long as the army goes out, Deep Valley City can cut the flesh - who cares if the southern barbarians live or die!

"And what are you going to do?" asked Evan Hall rhetorically.

"First of all, I need to meet Archmage Corelli so that I can have more eyes and ears in the Sanctuary. Odin said that he had concealed the other person he wanted to see, the king's uncle, Arthur Stanley.

"Then, prepare a court drama for me and my courtiers -- about how unscrupulous courtiers and vicious queens poison a king. ”

Odin smiled widely.
