The palace of the prince of Balang is located in the west of the imperial capital. 【Reading.com】

It is surrounded by the aristocratic families of the imperial capital - unlike ordinary imperial nobles, the "nobles" here are families with various and inextricable ties with the royal family.

Although the decree of the nobility of the Bright Empire to inherit the title is strict, if the descendants of ordinary nobles are incompetent, they cannot inherit the nobility, and the method was created by the Dandong sage two hundred years ago and is still used today. Although this decree ensured that the abilities of the upper core class of the empire would not deteriorate rapidly, it also left Danton with countless enemies.

Almost all the aristocratic classes of the empire regarded Danton as their greatest enemy. That guy was like this when he was alive, and when he died, he was hated by all the nobles!

Of course, there are positive and negative things in the world. Although the decree created by Dandong was hated by ordinary nobles, in the eyes of the royal nobles, it was simply a wonderful thing like fairy sound!

Why?

Because the imperial decree of succession to the title is only applied to ordinary nobles, not to the royal family!

In other words, all the royal nobles are not under the jurisdiction of that decree! The hereditary succession of the titles of the royal nobles is not restricted!

You must know that in the Empire of Light, countless once glorious families have fallen into the middle of the family because one or two generations have produced one or two waste-like offspring, and such a decree ensures the healthy metabolism of the core of the empire's power. And it ensures that the power institutions of the empire will not be hollowed out by a powerful family, which will affect the majesty of the imperial power!

In the same way, if you want to hold the position of high official in the Empire, you must have a corresponding high-ranking noble title! For example, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is a Count, the Minister of War is a Marquis, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Empire is a duke!

Although there are some officials who do not have the title of nobility, after all, they are a minority, and most of them are low-level officials.

Without the title of nobility, one could not enter the real upper echelons of the empire - although there was no law that explicitly stated it, it was a well-established fact.

Because of the existence of that decree of succession to the title, the opportunity for ordinary noble families to snatch the imperial power institutions was greatly restricted, and the royal families who were not restricted by that decree were much more vigorous than the royal families of other countries!

In fact, when Roddy was receiving the "duke training", he had heard Andy's guy secretly complain that maybe the Abbasid Emperor passed this decree back then, and he also hoped to use this decree to maintain the royal authority and restrict the exhibition of other families.

Therefore, according to this, the aristocratic residence in the imperial capital is quite particular.

Ordinary aristocratic families lived in the area east of Victory Square, while the side branch families related to the royal family lived in the area west of Victory Square. It's clear!

It was in the night that Roddy strolled through the streets, on both sides of the wide street where four or five carriages could walk side by side, were filled with royal families. Occasionally passing by one or two gates, you can see the dazzling family crest on the door - these badges are different from ordinary families, they are all golden!

In the Empire, only the royal family had a golden family crest - with the only exception, of course, the Tulip family. However, if the emperor really marries Miss Nicole, the golden badge of the Tulip family can live up to its name.

As the brother of His Majesty, the current emperor of the Empire of Light, and born to the same mother, Prince Balang naturally has an extremely noble status. Although there were still a few princes at the level of emperor uncle in the empire at this time, most of them were already old, and their influence in the imperial capital was far less than that of Prince Balang.

What's more, Prince Balang is ambitious, and he secretly attracts many ministers and nobles of the empire by his side on weekdays, and has faintly his own wings - of course, only the stupid emperor does not understand all this, and he is just bent on suppressing the tulip family that has overshadowed him in the limelight, and he has not thought that the biggest threat has already come from within the royal family......

"Just let me help that bastard emperor......" Roddy sighed softly, already standing at the door of Prince Balang's mansion.

The palace of the Prince of Balang in front of him was extravagant beyond Luo Di's expectations. The place in front of me didn't look like a mansion at all - it was a small castle, a shrunken palace!

Beyond the tall walls was a huge ironwood gate, on which the royal coat of arms was made of pure gold, and it seemed that it was scrubbed very diligently on weekdays, so that the coat of arms was just as vibrant even at night.

Not far from the wall was a small castle, the surface of which was painted with gold lacquer - although it looked very luxurious, Roddy could see at a glance from the eyes of a soldier that the military role of this castle was very prominent!

Covered in gold paint, the castle was made of a huge rock that was fast and solid! it was more fitting than a mansion than a military fortress with a golden wall!

Luo Di shook his head and sighed: "Such an obvious move, the emperor can't even see it." Why does a prince make his home look like a fortress of an army if he is at peace?"

In the light of a general, Roddy was sure that if he had changed to his past, even with the elite of the Wolf Tooth Army, it would take at least a few months to break through here - if there was enough food in it.

That kind of solid and heavy rock cannot be destroyed by ordinary bows, arrows, rockets, or even catapults!

Roddy jumped into the perimeter wall as soon as he jumped into it.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, there were almost no guards around. But it immediately dawned on him that if he stood in that room at the top of the castle, he could easily see his surroundings clearly!

Loose on the outside and tight on the inside!

No wonder there is no need for patrolling guards.

Roddy did not hide his whereabouts at all, and swaggered towards the castle.

Not far from the castle there is a large pond that, like all the mansions of the noble families, is home to ornamental vegetation and fish. But Roddy saw the problem at a glance:

A deep trench was dug in the ground around the castle - but in order to hide people's eyes, a very high kind of flowers and plants were planted in the trench, and it looked as if the whole castle was surrounded by a sea of flowers and plants.

But once something happens, as long as the pond is dug up, then the water of the pond is poured into the circle of trenches, and it is a natural moat!

"It's not simple, it's not easy. Luo Di sighed: "The person who built and designed this castle must have been a powerful guy, an excellent military talent...... I'm afraid that when the castle was built, it was already thinking about usurping the throne in the future. ”

He walked forward with his hands on his shoulders, when he heard a sharp whistle, and two teams of samurai guards with sharp swords ran out from both sides of the castle, and rushed straight at Roddy.

A loud scolding was heard in his ears, but Roddy suddenly smiled. Glancing at the flowers around him, he said to himself lightly, "I wonder what will happen to these flowers after they are watered with blood?"

Bayan came back early tonight.

As early as when there were people in the ** cave overhearing his words, he immediately left. For Shafei, he was very relieved.

A guy who climbs the wall to eavesdrop, probably doesn't have any skills - but why is there still news after Shafi chased him?

The place where Roddy fought with the vampire Shafi and the Cult Elders was far away from the city, so although the battle was earth-shattering, thunder and lightning, the people in the city did not show up. At most, I feel that today's weather is a little strange, obviously the weather is good, but there are dark clouds and lightning on the horizon, but after a few flashes, it subsided.

Bayan held a wine glass in one hand, and with the other he hugged a pretty maid fiercely, and that hand kept stroking back and forth over her face.

It's just that there seems to be a fire in my heart, and I always think about the shadow in the ** cave - go again tomorrow, this time I can't let her hide again!

In front of him was the grumpy Blood, who was also holding a wine glass, but the red liquid in the glass, but not the wine......

Licking the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, the blood-red eyes of the blood clan kept staring at the maid in Bayan's arms. Bayan smiled coldly, suddenly stood up, and pushed the girl in his arms towards the blood clan: "I gave it to you!"

After saying this, Bayan walked out leisurely with a wine glass.

Behind him, I heard only a short scream......

Bayan stood in the corridor with a wine glass, looking at the starry sky in the sky, and always felt strange in his heart.

Why are you always scared tonight? It seems like something is going to happen......

Looking at the surrounding environment, he smiled again - this place is so strong, there are a large number of guards guarding it, and there are a few masters of the blood clan, what else is he afraid of? I'm afraid this place is safer than the palace!

Just when he was still thinking like this, he immediately saw a scene that surprised him!

He saw with his own eyes a figure jumping in from the wall not far away, and landed in the prince's palace like a piece of catkins!

Then the man slowly put his hands on his shoulders, looking idly, looking at the surrounding flowers and ponds, as if he was strolling in his own garden!

To his surprise, the figure looked somewhat familiar......

What hell are those guards going to eat!!

Bayan was about to scream immediately. However, the guards were still loyal to their duties after all, and the guards guarding at the top of the castle immediately appeared that someone had broken in!

It's strange though it's strange -- this is the Prince's Palace! Who would dare to venture here so boldly?

The two teams of guards rushed out at once!

Bayan clenched the wine glass tightly in his hand and watched the situation under the castle......

But soon, the wine glass in his hand was unsteady! He clearly felt that the wine in the glass had spilled into his clothes, and his hand was shaking!

The person who broke in seemed to ...... No, he's a ghost at all!

A dozen guards with sharp swords in their hands -- these guards, who are usually like wolves and tigers, and their hands are like paper people in front of this person! When they touch it, they fall down, and if they fall, they can't stand up again!

A mist of blood burst out, mixed with a short scream.

With a ding, the wine glass in Bayan's hand fell to the ground and shattered!

There was a scream behind him, and the blood clan finally came out! The corners of his mouth were full of blood, and he cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth: "I smell blood, what's the matter?"

Swear to the Almighty God of Light! Bayan has never seen this green-faced, fanged creature so cute!

"Someone has broken in!!" Bayan no longer cared about his prestige, and shouted out in a gaffe!

The Blood's gaze shrank suddenly, and he saw the scene below the castle at a glance!

A dozen or so guards had all fallen to the ground, and a tall man stood there, as if looking at his blood-stained hands in amazement.

The Bloodclan screamed, and suddenly sprang out! His body flew out of the hallway, spreading out in midair, spreading a pair of wings, and with his shrill cry, several windows of the castle screamed at the same time as if in response to him!

Then several Bloods flew out of those windows at once!

"Go, suck his blood!" the Bloodclan shouted haughtily.

Hearing the order, the group of vampires unfurled their true colors and rushed down towards Roddy, who was standing on the ground!

Luo Di stood there, indifferently looked at the group of blood clans rushing down in mid-air, and said coldly: "Finally come out?"

He stretched out a hand, grabbed it in the air, and heard a scream from a small blood clan, and his body twisted into a ball in mid-air, and after a cloud of blood mist, he exploded and died!

Roddy only scratched it a few times before he heard a sharp scream. The little vampires in mid-air were like birds with broken wings falling down one after another.

Roddy looked at a vampire who fell beside him, it seemed to be much smaller than the vampire Shafi, who was not dead for a moment at the moment, and was still struggling and convulsing on the ground.

Luo Di smiled coldly, reached out and grabbed him from the ground, watching this vampire struggle in his hands, Luo Di said lightly: "Remember, don't be a vampire in the next life." ”

With a hard grip, a bloody arrow shot out of the vampire's throat, and then his neck was broken by Roddy's grip, and he finally lost his breath......

"Ah!!h!!h

Roddy ignored him, looked bloody, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, my hands are dirty......". Ignoring the thunderous vampire in front of him, he bent down to pick up a sword on the ground, and said with a faint smile: "I heard that vampires' bodies are much stronger than humans, and ordinary weapons can't hurt you at all, so we might as well try ......"

Bayan couldn't stand anymore, he turned around and shouted, "Come! Come! Shout! Everyone! Shout!!"

He didn't have time to look at the battle situation below the castle, ran into the room, took a sword in his hand, and rushed out of the gate, hundreds of guards in the castle had already lined up, and dozens of fast movements had already rushed out of the castle, just watching a vampire in front of him confront that guy, standing behind and watching......

It's not that they don't do it, it's just that the scene just now is too scary!

Although they are all dead soldiers raised by Prince Balang, and they are all fierce outlaws, but in this scene in front of them, no one has stepped forward again!

It's one thing to be courageous, it's another to die!

As soon as Bayan and a large number of guards rushed out of the gate of the castle, he saw an incomparably dazzling light in front of him! The light obscured everything in front of him! and there was a burst of energy that blew so hard that everyone couldn't open their eyes......

Then there was a dull "whoop......

All the light is gone......

Bayan saw a bloody thing flying into the sky, spinning in mid-air and flying towards him. He was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back.

With a thud, a blue-faced fanged bloody head slammed into the ground in front of him, and there was no more luster in the round blood-red eyes, just as if there was a bit of despair and fear......

The vampire's body was still standing in front of Roddy, blood spraying on Roddy's face, and he was covered in blood, like a bloody man.

"Ahh!!h!!h

The guards rushed up, and a few warlocks from the family also floated into the sky, and countless fireball spells were used, flying towards Roddy with the sound of the wind whistling, with lightning and sparks, mixed with countless screams.

Roddy was like a demon from time immemorial, covered in blood, and all the fireballs and lightning from those warlocks could only shoot one meter around him before they were all bounced away!

Roddy raised the sword in his hand, and immediately harvested a piece of life, countless heads flew into the sky, and the blood in that cavity was as brilliant as a holiday flower......

The guards finally got frightened, shouted, dropped their weapons, and turned to flee.

Luo Di didn't chase either, he gently wiped the thick blood stain on his face with one hand, and there was still blood slowly dripping from the tip of the sword in his hand......

He walked forward step by step and looked at Bayan, who was already sitting limply on the ground.

Bayan clenched the sword in his hand, as if he was clutching his last life-saving straw!

How could it be! How could it be! Seven or eight vampires, six warlocks, and hundreds of guards, couldn't even resist a single one? Who was he? Was it Mr. Qiu? No! Could it be that the emperor had sent him to kill him?

Luo Di looked coldly at Bayan, who was shivering, as if looking at a tiny ant.

At this moment, the sky has revealed a trace of white, and there is a faint glow of vitality, as if the dawn is just a moment.

Roddy glanced at the sky and muttered, "It's almost dawn...... Time is running out......"

"Vampires, warlocks, samurai guards...... Do you still have any power that you haven't used?" he suddenly raised his sword and pointed at Bayan, and said impatiently in an extremely arrogant tone: "Draw your sword quickly, I'm in a hurry!"
