Chapter Fifty-Eight: There is always some struggle of interests to be put on the table

Late at night on the day of the dinner, the two jailers were so drunk that it was time for their shifts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThey helped each other out of the Imperial Capital Prison - a wide, uninhabited road outside. The two staggered along the middle of the road when a tall four-wheeled horse came straight at them.

The two men were dazed, thinking they had seen a ghost, and shook their heads, and the horse came before them, and the groom had no intention of pulling the reins to stop.

The horses knocked the two jailers down, their hooves stomped on their heads and necks, and they were incapacitated and rolled under the cart, which then ran over the two drunks.

By the early morning of the next day, only two bodies with brains and internal organs had been found, and the perpetrators were nowhere to be found.

Also in the early morning, Corelli, the archmage of the Imperial Seminary, received a secret letter.

The letter asked if he had ever taught a civilian student named Dies.

Corelli replied, "This man is despicable, he has been expelled from the Sanctuary, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

By the time these things happened, Odin had been leaning against the damp stone wall and had been sitting all night.

Some of his roommates tried to stab him to death with a knife while he was asleep - but the warlock opened his eyes and mercilessly cut blood on the attackers.

The assassin who wanted to assassinate him was curled up in a ball and thrown in a corner, his eyes open, blood dripping, and the smell of blood filling the entire chamber.

The warlock, on the other hand, took off his clown hood and showed his pretty face—but no one dared to come near him. No one saw the white ball of light circling around him, burrowing through the vent of the chamber, flying out of the ground and towards the chamber of the Golden Palace.

The "spirit" called Ursus, became Odin's eyes and ears, and probed into the secrets of the palace.

The Queen Mother Regent was holding a royal council, and the little king was sitting bored, eating his steak. Repon squinted at the five important ministers, his mouth covered with meat crumbs, and the medium-rare meat chops were bleeding, and he began to tap the porcelain plate in dissatisfaction.

"The Sanctuary has been urging for a long time - to prove our loyalty, you should all send your troops to fight in the battle of Paliva. "The former Prime Minister is the same as the Minister.

Ever since the Paliva Rebellion, Carter Larson, the son of sinners, has established himself as master of the city and recruited a group of heretics who call themselves the "Apostates". Enraged, the Sanctuary ordered the king to send troops to arrest the rebels and burn them at the stake.

The expedition has been planned for half a month, but there is no progress, and in the Four Cities Alliance, except for Silver Eagle, they are not willing to rush to send troops when the civil strife has just subsided. At this time, the important matter was brought up again, but the five important ministers were silent, and they did not seem to be enthusiastic about this matter.

The Empress Regent said coldly: "This is just a city without a territory and a group of low-ranking peasants, do you have the courage to let the wild dogs eat it? ”

"If that's the case, then the Imperial Capital Knights and the Silver Eagle Forbidden Army are enough to deal with it, and we don't care about this bit of honor. The General Military Staff, Bailey Sieri, bluntly refused, apparently not taking the Queen Regent seriously. In the whole country, except for Ice Soul City, which has a heavy army, Cisse's military strength is only second.

The Home Secretary, Mark Duna, smiled and played a round - but it was more like a hole in the royal family: "But, having heard that the templar power of Paliva had been driven out by this reckless man, Holy Priest John was condemned and bound to the Pillar of Truth. This group of reckless people doesn't seem to be so easy to deal with......"

"It's okay to go out with the Lion Legion - Honorable Queen Mother, you can climb into my bed, and I'll let my brother think about it. ”

Bailey has a strong body, muscles like iron, blue and green eyes, legend has it that his mother was a shaman of Gunnai, who seduced his father with evil magic, and the impure blood not only made the two heirs of the Sieri family have a pair of different eyes, but also made their temperament extremely reckless and despicable, completely lacking the so-called aristocratic temperament of the people of the imperial capital.

The green-eyed red-haired Lelia had a gloomy face, and she gave Bailey a slap when she raised her hand, and her hand was so fierce that it left a shallow blood mark on the face of the military staff.

Milestone's Mark Duna still had a gentle smile - no one knew if it was mockery or what. Nikolai Gluck of Whitewood and Evan Hall of Deep Valley kept their lips shut and remained silent.

At this moment, as if he had heard something amusement, the little king Repon put down his knife and fork and shouted: "Mother, climb the bed, mother, climb the bed!"

Lelia's thin face turned blood-red—she looked angrily at the ministers in the room, as if trying to tear them all to shreds.

At this time, Elio Parton, the former Prime Minister, stepped forward, his silhouette was slightly plumper than his sister's, tall and well-proportioned, and he wore a red embroidered gold thread gown, giving people an invisible sense of coercion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the power of the royal family today is conferred by the god Osiris, and the crowning of the king by the Holy See with his own hands, and to challenge the royal authority is to provoke the Sanctuary, and not to participate in the war of Paliva is to condone the traitors—and you all know that it will end no better than that of Hythar Larsen. ”

This is an empty phrase, but it is a hidden threat that if the cities do not send troops, they will be complicit in the Paliva, and even if the Sanctuary does not participate in the struggle for secular power, it will certainly not sit idly by and watch the blasphemers go unchecked.

"However, to participate in the war - I am afraid that Fukaya does not have enough funds to prepare an army. Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Fukaya has never been good at war, and if he has to go on an expedition, he will inevitably recruit mercenaries, and mercenaries have never had a good reputation......"

Evan Hall frowned and poured out a lot of bitter water. Originally, Fukaya Castle was excluded from the usurpation of the four cities because it belonged to the power group of the former king, and once it spoke out, it would inevitably be criticized by words and writings, but at this time, it hit the key point of the silver eagle and catered to the dissatisfaction of the other four ministers of the Imperial Council.

"Even the richest of the deep valleys have no money—and we don't have any, and this year Chenxing can't even afford armor. "Mark Duna always follows the wind.

"Your Majesty, if you can comfort the lion soldiers with what is under your thighs - then they don't care about swords and armor. Without shame, Bailey continued to insult the Queen Regent.

Justice Nikolai Gluck, who had been silent, stood up - Prime Minister Elio drew his sword and stood in his way.

"Your Excellency, the meeting is not over yet, where are you going?" asked Elio in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister—" Nicholas looked gloomy, but not decent, "Bailin City really can't send a single soldier, unless the last loss at Nanfeng is compensated - it is about half a million silver coins, which is calculated. ”

Then, he brushed aside the blade of his sword and walked out of the council chamber without looking back. Then Mark Duna also smiled and stood up, performed a standard court salute, and prepared to leave the table.

Seeing that the former prime minister's sword could not scare people, Bailey Sieri sneered: "If the Queen Mother can lie under me every night - the Cisse people will not care about these hundreds of thousands of silver coins, after all, it is very expensive to flatter women." ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand again, trying to slap the unruly minister in the face, but her hand was grabbed by Bailey, and the pain was terrible, and the smell of the man's sweat made her unbearable.

Bailey looked at Lelia's expression and laughed contemptuously, ignoring the sword-wielding guards around him, and pushed the door open. Evan Hall of Deep Valley City is not far behind.

The only thing left in the council hall of Nuoda was the little king, who was still bowing his head and eating meat, two green-eyed and red-haired silver eagles, and a group of palace guards who were at a loss.

"Mom, next time we have a meeting, I want to hear Rister sing. The little king found that it was too much to be quiet, and cried out.
