Chapter 173: Duren's Warning

The Captain's chest rose and fell violently, and he stared at his little thumb as if anger was about to erupt from his eyes.

Little Thumb had a strong premonition that the next moment Duren would swing his sword and cut off his head, which made him take two steps back.

But the captain of the guards eventually managed to control his emotions and put his sword back into his waist.

Seeing this, Essos also retreated to his previous position.

The War Secretary Olise then asked, "Sir Duran, you just drew your sword in front of Your Majesty?" ”

"I am the captain of the guard, and I have the right to wear a sword in the castle." Duren is neither humble nor arrogant.

"That's right, it's the power of the saber." Olise emphasized the middle two words, "Even you can't draw your sword when the danger hasn't happened." ”

Duren was silent, he could quibble that he had just felt the threat of the little thumb, but lying with his eyes open was not something he was good at.

"It seems that you do not deny the crimes you have committed." Garth on the ossuary spoke, "Then hand over the red gall first." ”

Created by the greatest dwarven craftsmen thousands of years ago, the Red Guts is the sword of the Captains of the Kings and a symbol of their status.

By asking Durham to hand over his guts, Garth was depriving him of his present position.

Duren struggled a little, but eventually handed the sword to the guard who walked towards him.

Seeing this scene, Gars finally had a smile on his face, and he knew that it meant that the big picture was settled, although he also paid a lot of price.

Thinking of this, Garth couldn't help but glance at the Priest of Cornelia not far away.

He had always been a little jealous of this woman, not only because of the latter's huge influence among the nobles and commoners of the royal capital, or all kinds of magical methods, but more importantly, Garth never guessed what this woman wanted.

She traveled thousands of miles to this continent, this city, following power, clinging to power, but she seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from power.

What she pursued was not the same as the others in this hall.

Garth was not unaware of the power of the Church of Life, but unlike his father, he witnessed Edward II's near-obedience to Cornelia, and Garth was wary of theocracy.

I even considered inviting Li Yu to stay in the royal capital, because at present, it seems that the only thing that can balance the Life Church is the same magical Shuangxiu Sect.

However, this problem has now been solved.

Garth looked at Allister again, the youngest brother, and he didn't know if the other party's luck was good or bad.

Eventually, the new emperor of the empire decided not to think about it anymore and looked at Durham again at the bottom of the stone steps.

"Is there anything else you want to say? My promise is still valid, and if you can provide even the slightest bit of valuable information about the death of the Emperor, I can consider sparing you from the flogging, even if you have just been disrespectful to me. You can find any other witnesses. ”

No matter how dull Du Lun is, he understands that he has been calculated by someone at this time, and his investigation in the past few days, every move, is all under the nose of the other party.

Although he still has a witness to call, it is no longer meaningful, and it may bring danger to that person, like a fat cat whose life and death are unknown now.

Seeing that Duren was still silent, Garth did not intend to wait any longer, because the legs of Jerome, who was "lucky", had already begun to tremble.

It is estimated that he is too old and has stood for too long, and his physical strength will be exhausted, and if it were not for Du Lun's interruption, he should have put the crown on the head of the new emperor by now and went back to rest.

Garth didn't know if he would have the strength to hold the crown after waiting a little longer, so he waved his hand and motioned for the guards to escort Duren down first.

But at this moment, Du Lun suddenly opened his mouth again and said, "I haven't finished talking yet. ”

However, the nobles present were a little tired of his crazy words, and there was a ridicule and ridicule in the crowd when they heard him say this.

People are hoping that this farce will end sooner.

Unmoved, Duren raised his voice, "The reason why they assassinated Your Majesty is to plunge the empire into chaos. ”

"Who?"

"Those Wingmen, they're so close to Brattis that they could attack our coastline at any moment, which is why Moen is here for this tournament."

"He wants to win the tournament and further demoralize us and prepare for the big fight that is coming, and they want to make us feel intimidated."

"This is your unwarranted imagination again!" Military Minister Olise snorted coldly, "Except for the birdman named Moen, there hasn't been a second guy with wings on the continent yet."

"Even if they really want to attack us, it is impossible for a large fleet to cross the sea without any movement, and the merchant ships that come and go should have noticed them a long time ago, but until now we have not received similar information, which means that they are far away from us."

"The third." The female lord couldn't help but say.

"What?"

"You just said that there hasn't been a second guy with wings on the back on the continent, but in fact there is, and it's more appropriate to change it to a third." Miss Rabbit explained when she saw the Minister of War glaring at her.

"Because a man named Gabriel had already appeared in the West, and he also brought a dragon egg and hatched a black dragon, but fortunately, the black dragon was killed by Prophet Merlin, me, and Ferdinand together."

"She's right." The representative of the Figuerola family, an old man with gray hair, but still looking imposing.

"Well, that's just two people." Olise said contemptuously, "We don't need to be nervous. ”

Garth also felt that what the military secretary said was very reasonable, that an expedition across the sea was a very dangerous thing, and that there were too many threats at sea.

Especially on the two continents that are far away, it is not easy for the last fleet to reach its destination with five or six adults left, and it is not uncommon for the entire army to be annihilated.

And the movement will definitely not be small, so that you can't hear the slightest wind.

Garth said to Duran, "Are you determined to link the murderer with those Wing-Clansmen?" ”

"Because that's the way it is," said Duren, "I may not have been strict enough in my previous accusations against you, but there must be someone within the royal family who is in cahoots with those wings."

"I don't think it's wise to rush into the coronation of a new emperor without investigating this matter clearly."

"Here we go again."

Before Garth could speak, someone was already shaking their heads, this time the intelligence chief.

"You're babbling again, Sir Duran, and how are you going to prove your word, as was the question before? That sensational prophecy of war...... Mistress Olis is right, we haven't even seen a third wing so far.
