Chapter 302: Who Wants to Kill the King

"Hmph...... He doesn't have what you do...... Let's get down to business, Lord Leon, since you know who we are, what do you want to do? ”

In the face of Li Ang's yin and yang weirdness, the maid-like prophet only smiled contemptuously, and his emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"What? Are you going to talk to me as a maid? Didn't Inna tell you? I have been commissioned by Lady Anna's father, Sir Orth, to speak on her father's behalf—you think, I speak to a maid about such matters...... Is it appropriate? ”

Li Ang cocked Erlang's legs with a grin: "Moreover, a maid of yours is sitting at the main table and talking to the marshal of the kingdom, is this too bold?" The guards outside can see it! Could it be that you really plan to show His Majesty something? ”

The Prophet's cheeks twitched visibly, but he did stand up and stood respectfully in the corner—where the maid should stand.

"Your Excellency Leon, Anna cannot come, she must accompany the king in the bedchamber...... She'll come with Ulrik in a moment. So, talk to me quickly if you have anything and don't waste time. ”

Although he was ridiculed by Leon for a while, the prophet still maintained a calm attitude and appeared to be very qualified.

Obviously, she didn't want to make any trouble here.

It's just that this kind of groveling form, when it comes to negotiations, it will definitely suffer.

Moreover, Leon established one thing through a series of yin and yang weirdness—the three prophets did believe that Anna was Orth's daughter.

Seriously, it's not a lie.

If Anna was an orphan raised by Sister Clancy, then she could indeed be considered Orth's daughter.

"Before I get down to business, I have to ask you a question...... Amy was accused of heresy in Foxville, does it have anything to do with you? ”

Leon was going to confirm his thoughts first.

"Huh...... Your Excellency Leon, since you know who we are, you should understand that we can't get ourselves into trouble at this time. We're curious about who did that, too—another sister of mine has gone to Fox Town to investigate......"

The Prophet replied happily, and now that Leon knew their identities, she didn't hide it anymore.

"Very well, since it has nothing to do with you, then we have a basis for cooperation."

Leon nodded, and directly began to make a request: "I intend to ask your Majesty to take back the royal decree against Godric and Amy, and issue another royal decree - I need the king to publicly order that Amy and Godric are responsible for tracking down heresy." ”

"Your Excellency Leon is really extraordinary, I thought you would insist that we did this...... But it will not be easy to get the king to retract the decree he has already given. And, why should we cooperate with you? ”

The Prophet stood in the corner with his head bowed, as if relieved, but did not seem to intend to cooperate.

However, this tone is obviously giving in.

A smile appeared on Leon's face - this meant that the three prophets would most likely not directly turn against themselves now, and they only needed to guard against their plots.

In other words, as long as Ulrique is not dead, and as long as Anna's 'child' has not been designated as the heir, the three prophets are not willing to take the initiative to provoke Leon, the marshal of the kingdom.

They don't want to make a fuss.

And in this way, the three prophets did not regard Leon as an enemy......

That's right, when they were in Changhe Town, Leon's combined army defeated them on the battlefield openly, and finally handed them over to Lehman, and the two sides really had no personal grudges.

Instead, it was Grandlon and Forsette, who destroyed the Three Prophets' nest near the Lost Bunch when they went to 'find the King's Seal', and it is estimated that they would be regarded as enemies by the Three Prophets.

That's easy......

"Why cooperate with me? …… Because, if you don't cooperate with me, you'll have to be Amy's servants! ”

Leon shook his head and smiled, "Amy was said by the heretics of Fox Town to be the 'Dark Goddess Descending', you should have heard about this, right?" If you don't intend to betray the faith, then you have to cooperate with me to solve this problem! ”

In fact, this is the reason why Li Ang came to negotiate with the princess......

If Amy is designated as the Goddess of Darkness herself, then all heretics who worship the Goddess of Darkness will have to regard Amy as a deity......

The Three Prophets were also followers of the Goddess of Darkness, but Leon did not believe that the Three Prophets would worship Amy as their master.

"Hmph...... Sir Leon, you don't seem to have figured out the situation. ”

The Prophet was not bluffed by Leon: "We are not prophets now...... My sister is a princess, I am her lady-in-waiting, and my sister's child is about to become a king - how can a princess be a heretic? How could the future Queen Regent be a heretic......"

"Ha, say that the god you believe in is heretical? You openly betray the Goddess of Darkness? ”

Leon glanced at the prophet in amazement, but he didn't expect the three prophets who had obtained power from the Goddess of Darkness to dare to say such words: "Aren't you afraid that the goddess Ereda will punish you when she hears this?" ”

"Your Excellency Leon, I might as well tell you directly...... This tower of the House of Lords is the center of the Pander continent and is a place where no god can peep into it. Goddess Ereda can't hear what I'm saying......"

The Prophet smiled faintly, "Moreover, when my sister's child becomes king, the goddess will naturally know our loyalty. ”

I see......

It's no wonder that the gardens of the House of Lords are in full bloom all year round.

It turns out that this is the reason why the Lion King made the House of Lords his private residence - a place without gods is a truly blessed land......

"Well, since you're talking about the king...... If Anna's father appears in front of the king, how do you think Lady Anna should explain it? ”

Li Ang asked lightly: "Moreover, the child in her belly...... I'm afraid it's not the king's, right? ”

"What, you think Ulrik will believe you?"

There was a murderous look in the prophet's eyes, but it was fleeting.

Killing intent, of course Li Ang felt it.

This means that the child is indeed not the king's - it is not possible, Ulrique is already fifty years old, and he has been sick for so long, how can it be so coincidental that the concubine can conceive a child.

But Leon could also be sure that the Three Prophets did not dare to do anything to themselves, at least not for now.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if His Majesty doesn't believe me, anyway, I'm just asked by someone...... But whether the king will suspect you because of this, that is not certain. ”

Li Ang said with a smile: "In addition, I will tell you another secret, Princess Anna also has an older brother. ”

Anna did have an older brother, Inna, and although he was not his own brother, the Three Prophets certainly did not know the joints.

For the Three Prophets, this meant that Anna had more and more vulnerabilities and more and more problems that could arise......

The Prophet frowned and fell silent, presumably considering what the consequences would be.

And Leon looked at the prophet dressed as a maid, and asked, "Since you said that the gods can't peep here...... So, if I'm not mistaken, you don't get a response from the Dark Goddess in the House of Nobles, do you? In other words, you can't use witchcraft against the king...... I can't resurrect someone else's body again! ”

"What do you want to do?"

The Prophet raised his head sharply, his eyes showing deep wariness.

"Just to remind you, now you have only one life, it's better to cherish it."

Leon looked out the window and bounced his chin to the guards standing on the wall.

He was just trying to avoid the prophet's desperate move.

If he had done it here, he would have been able to defeat the Prophetess without a weapon......

"Your Excellency Leon, actually, we have never provoked you, why do you have to go against us?"

The prophet didn't seem to have the intention of making a move, but there seemed to be a hint of regret in her expression when she looked at Leon.

"Oppose?"

Leon laughed, "I'm helping you!" If I hadn't reminded you, you probably wouldn't have thought Anna would have so many families, would you? If I don't help you, you'll be exposed sooner or later! I'll help you hide your identity, and you help me convince the king, isn't it a fair deal? ”

"Convince the king...... Leon, what if I'm not happy? It's not a question of justice...... Leon, we don't want to be coerced! ”

The Prophet asked earnestly.

"Unwilling to be coerced? That...... What if King Ulrique died? ”

Li Ang didn't move for a moment: "If he dies, not only will you not get anything, but you will also be accused by Anna's father of a heretic who kills the king, are you willing to accept such a result?" ”

After speaking, Leon raised his hand and beckoned.

With this beckoning, a cold light flashed, and two throwing knives suddenly shot in from the window, spinning and piercing into the fruit bowl on the table—the same fruit bowl that the prophet had brought in earlier, and an apple in it was cut in half by the spinning flying knife.

It's clearly a show of skill - two throwing knives shot at the same target, and the effect of cutting off the apple is terrifying.

It's worth 120 dinars a month......

Leon felt.

"Scorpio Assassin?!"

The prophet was apparently knowledgeable: "You want to kill the king?!" ”

Now, the prophet was no longer calm.

"No, you're going to kill you...... The Scorpio Assassins are Descha people, and no one will believe that they have anything to do with me, the Marshal of the Lion Kingdom who just beat Dexia into chaos, but it is very likely that they have something to do with you - you should know what I mean, no one will trust you if you lose the protection of the king......"

"I just want to tell you that if you are willing to cooperate, then we can trade fairly. But if you don't want to cooperate with me, then I promise you'll become the king's killer!" ”

Li Ang still looked at the prophet with Erlang's legs crossed: "By the way, I remind you that the flying knife is poisonous, and this apple cannot be eaten." ”

In fact, this is the way that Li Ang really intends to use to coerce the princess.

When he was in Changhe Town, Li Ang had already roughly judged the scope of application of the Three Prophets' skin-changing witchcraft - this skin-changing witchcraft should have many restrictions.

For example, it can only be cast on true followers of the Dark Goddess.

Because the way they skin them is to make the fanatics become degenerates, to strip their own skins - or else they won't get the whole human skin.

For example, there may be some restrictions on where it can be used.

Because that fake Igor had tried to lure the king to Long River, it meant that they couldn't use this method in Lion City - otherwise, they could have directly changed their skins to pretend to be the king, and even replaced all the big nobles with their people, without having to get a princess out.

However, at that time, Leon did not know the reason, and now he knows that the place of the House of Lords can isolate the gods.

In other words, the three prophets could not let the king die at this time, otherwise all their plans would be in vain - the child had not yet been born, and the child had to be the king's heir before Ulrik could die.

But for Leon, if it weren't for Amy's business, then whether Ulrike died or not would have little effect on him, and even slightly good - he was the marshal of the kingdom, the most important minister among the important ministers, and whoever succeeded to the throne had to show favor to him.

But now Ulrike really can't die, after all, only the king can exonerate Amy.

But if Amy's charges really can't be solved, then ......

Therefore, when Leon came to Lion City this time, he originally planned to use the excuse of Ors's surname to meet the princess, and then threaten the princess with the king's life - of course, there is no need to really coerce the king, just let the princess know that she has the ability to kill the king.

This is also the reason why the Scorpio Assassin was pre-arranged to ambush in the House of Nobles.

And after meeting Inna at the city gate, Leon tried to see the Three Prophets directly, and avoided great uncertainties - for example, the king and the princess came together, which would not be easy to negotiate.

At this moment, there were footsteps upstairs.

"Your Majesty and Lady Anna are coming...... I promise to work with you, but if you don't want to die, don't play tricks! ”

The prophet glanced at Leon and began to quickly clean up the fruit bowl on the table.

"Of course...... What's your name? Or, what do you call your current body? ”

Leon helped put away the two throwing knives and took a closer look at the prophet's appearance.

She was dressed as an ordinary court maid, but her appearance was still very beautiful, with reddish brown hair and turquoise eyes, which was very distinctive.

"My name is Sercy. Your Excellency Leon, I will go to you. ”

The prophetess named Sersi put away the knife from the fruit bowl and went out with the fruit bowl in hand.

And King Ulrik happened to take his young and beautiful princess downstairs at this time, and passed by Sercy, and saw the fruit plate in Sercy's hand, and twisted half of the apple very casually......

Sersi was dumbfounded, but couldn't remind him - what should I say about this? Say apples are poisonous?

Why?

"Your Majesty, can you eat this...... That's what I ate leftovers......"

However, Li Ang reacted quickly and gave a reason.

Ulrike glanced at Leon and threw away the apple, "Leon, you should go and kill the rebellion now, instead of running to me early in the morning for breakfast!" ”

"Ahem...... One of my important knights has a bit of an identity problem...... Sir Ors von Clancy, who begged me to ask him if he could be dismissed for the sake of Lady Anna's face, who was a member of Lady Anna's clan, but who had been a wandering knight many years ago for some grievances. Your Majesty, you know, this status is not suitable for the suppression of rebellion......"

Leon smiled at Princess Anna, then nodded back to King Ulrique.

He didn't say anything like Anna's father, but it looked like he was fulfilling his promise to 'help the princess hide her identity'......

Princess Anna looked visibly relieved.

Sercy also quickly picked up the poisoned apple and went downstairs.

"Wandering knight? Illegal Knights, right...... You really have ...... of everyone under you."

Ulrique was probably woken up before he had enough sleep, and obviously didn't eat breakfast, so he didn't have the patience to ask the specifics: "Since his surname is Clancy, let Anna decide ......"

"My family was unjustly defeated, and most of my clan was scattered. Now that I can find my family, I should thank Lord Li Ang...... Maybe I should sign a letter of guarantee for Sir Orth......"

Lady Anna reacted quickly and bowed to Leon, and responded quite decently.
