Chapter 90: The Storm is Coming
Chapter 90 The Storm is Coming
Grand Duke Lilac looked at the young man in front of him with a strange expression, this young man had a pair of black eyes, which were very different from the blue, gray, or even some pale green eyes of the people here.
More importantly, these eyes contain vicissitudes that are by no means commensurate with his age, even if he disguises it with a simple expression, how can he hide his eyes that have read all the world.
Combining the information in his possession, including the information sent by his third son, Vic Barton, from the "Iron Legion", and the information from the vast military intelligence network in Yanjing, Osimos can conclude that no one knows the young man in front of him better than himself, not even St. Yarra the Great.
A Saint Rank Fighter! has stepped on the threshold of the Holy Order. Osimos has a longer life than ordinary people, and his grasp of world affairs is more than that of ordinary nobles.
However, he had been uneasy since the rebellion of the nobles on the borders of the Empire had almost caused his son, Barton Wick, his most admired third son, to suffer a great loss.
Ao Gu, who had been calm for many years, was surging on the mainland, and he secretly sighed in his heart, and these changes were actually out of his grasp! The "Iron Blade Legion" suffered a big loss, which was evident from this, and Yan Jing did not get any news in advance.
If it weren't for the kid in front of him who came out of nowhere and disrupted the whole situation, the "Iron Blade Army" would probably be in extreme danger by now......
What is terrible is not that danger is coming, but that he is ignorant of danger! The Grand Duke, who has experienced many storms and waves in his life, feels as if a giant hand hidden in the darkness is fighting against him, and every step is to seize the opportunity, how can this not make him frightened.
At any time, you can't fully expose your strength, and you can only keep your back hand and then have a chance to fight back. Lear was one of the "back-ups" he had chosen, and now he was even more interested in the boy......
As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, but Grand Duke Osimos, as a saint-level powerhouse, has a far-reaching vision, and he found that Lear is a variable in this chess game!
He calmed down for a moment and said, "Count Piaoxiang, how long do you think the current Emperor, St. Yala the Great, will live?"
Lear's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't understand why the old duke asked about this topic abruptly, but looking at the old duke's wise gaze, he still said: "His Majesty the Emperor has reached the end of his life, and I am afraid that the time is short. ”
"So, who among the dozen or so adult princes will inherit the throne?" a gleam flashed in Duke Lilac's eyes.
Lear was silent, this kind of power dumping was not what he was good at, and he only saw the fourth, eighth, and fourteenth princes, plus Yanjing's biggest player, the thirteenth prince!
But these princes seem to be in the middle of the middle. They all seem to be excellent, but they all seem to have some kind of flaw.
Ossimos sighed and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is in danger, and as far as I know, the Emperor [***] team is undergoing an extraordinary transfer, and a big change is imminent! Thanks to the war provoked by the Auray Empire and the Snow Empire at this time, the internal contradictions have been transferred, otherwise Yanjing would have been a bloody storm now!"
"That's why St. Arala the Great decided to personally summon such an unknown soldier as you, and bestow him on a high-ranking official, he just wanted to use this to whitewash the peace and create the illusion of stable imperial power!" He said coldly: "St. Arala wants to cheer himself up, but fate no longer favors him!"
At this moment, Osimus revealed his arrogance and detachment! The Holy Rank was originally an existence beyond the imperial power, and even the Emperor could only pay homage to him...... Only Duke Lilac dared to say this......
"Ming said that there will be a 'Burning Ceremony', and the Imperial Guards guarding Yanjing will enter the city to maintain order with the Imperial Forest Army, but the Praetorian Guards are not in the control of the military department, once they become elbows and armpits, the disaster will be unpredictable!" There were several dim lights in the old man's eyes, "So I decided to send you to leave Yanjing as soon as possible......"
"Why did you choose me!" Lear wondered, "I'm just a little hunter soldier." ”
Duke Lilac laughed and said, "A little hunter can make a sixth-level magician a follower? can subdue an eighth-level demonic beast? can defeat the leader of Raymond Nal's 'Thunderbolt Legion' who has a 'Razer Bolt Gun'...... And in just a few days, thousands of gladiators were bought!"
Lear was stunned, it turns out that the old guy has already understood him, but does he really know all his hole cards?
"Gah!" the crow "Wood" seemed to be unable to resist such a dull atmosphere, moved his body, and screamed strangely.
The old guy's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, the juvenile ice phoenix! This kind of demon beast is extremely strict in choosing the master, which is completely different from other demon beasts, unless they take the initiative to recognize the master, few fire phoenixes and ice phoenixes can be subdued by humans, and which one of the super demon pets such as dragons and phoenixes in history is not a brilliant and amazing person, making an earth-shattering career!
And for hundreds of years, it has been very rare to find this kind of strange beast on the mainland! It is because ordinary people do not know this kind of magical beast at all, and it is a magical beast that has the potential to evolve to the holy level and god level!
The smile in his eyes grew even stronger, "Lear, I'll send someone to send a thousand sets of heavy cavalry armor right away, um! Hehe, as a marshal of the Empire, it's still a trivial matter to want to embezzle these things......"
In an instant, Lear's status in his mind has improved a lot!
Lear suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this old man really doesn't treat himself as an outsider. Immediately afterwards, he almost scared Lear out of his head, "Well, I'll allocate you another five hundred blood guards, and the corresponding military salary, even if it's the dowry that my old man gave to his granddaughter!"
Ace was suddenly ashamed, and hid behind the Grand Duke of Osimos with a red face.
Lear sneered, although he didn't hate Ace, but when it came to marrying her as a wife, Tubaozi really didn't think that much in his heart.
"Lord Duke, I, I'm ......," Lear stammered.
Duke Lilac raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Isn't my granddaughter worthy of you?"
Lear hurriedly said: "Lord Duke, you see, I am only sixteen years old now, I am afraid it is too early to marry a wife, besides, my mother's whereabouts are still unknown......"
The Grand Duke's ugly face softened a little, and he said in a hum voice: "Well, this matter will be here for the time being, Ace, send them out!"
Lear inadvertently noticed that Ace's face was pale, and it was obvious that his rejection just now was unexpected, and broke her heart.
Ace said as she walked out, "Lear, what Grandpa said is not my heart, I don't want to ...... like this"
Lear, however, is in a state of extreme contradiction.
"Ace, you're a good girl, but we're all too young!, aren't we?" Lear said, "The 'Gathering Spirit Pill' that was first refined was the first one for you to take, and it was ......."
Ace's heart trembled, raised her face to look at him and said, "Lear, whether you are a former soil bun hunter, a small soldier, or the current Earl of Piaoxiang, I am waiting for you......"
After saying that, Ace Er hid her face without looking back.
Lear let out a long sigh, the most difficult thing to be behold! Suddenly, he found that the eyes hidden in the shadows were suddenly full of hostility!
Lear had no choice but to flee from the Duke of Lilac's palace in a panic!
As soon as he returned to the Earl's Mansion of Piaoxiang, in the dilapidated aristocratic manor, Lear suddenly found that His Royal Highness Jace Carson, the biggest gentleman in Yanjing, was sitting in his room with a smile, and there was a man wearing silver armor chain armor next to him, engraved with radiant patterns, as if he was afraid that others would not recognize his son-in-law, who was not the silver swordsman Aden Lisser?
What's the matter with these two masters? Lear was annoyed.
