Chapter 139: The Murderous Intent Revealed in the Deep Palace
The deepest part of the Thorn Forest, usually called a dangerous place by the Academy, when the masters of the Academy clean up the Warcraft in the forest, they often end here, and the Warcraft here also have a tacit understanding not to appear on the side of the trial, and the Thorn Forest advertised by the Academy will never appear Super-level Warcraft, in fact, it should only be said that in the area of the trial, there will be no Super-level Warcraft, because it is possible to entrench the Super-level Warcraft in the deepest part of the forest.
Super-level demonic beasts are usually very intelligent, and if humans don't come here to clean them up, they won't have nothing to do to provoke humans, human beings are known as the overlords of the continent, even if they are super-level demonic beasts, they also agree with this title.
There may not be many super-level demonic beasts, but there are quite a few high-level demonic beasts, and now Li Feng is facing an attack by a group of Chimera.
The Chimera is a high-level magical beast, with two lion heads, both of which can breathe fire, a body somewhat like a goat, a tail like a snake's tail, and a pair of huge fleshy wings under the ribs, which make a huge fluttering sound when inciting.
The Chimera is a group of demonic beasts, and now Li Feng is facing the siege of the five-headed Chimera.
……
When Li Feng encountered the siege, Claudius the Great was also furious in the palace, and only Gerald, the most loyal guard, accompanied him.
"Rice buckets, all rice buckets, tens of thousands of masters entered the forest, and even a single Allen couldn't help it, and now he actually snatched the green scale mount and fled, has the empire fallen to this point?" The angry voice of Claudius the Great echoed through the palace.
Gerald's expression was blank, and he had always had this expression since he got the news of Li Feng's escape.
Claudius the Great was furious and continued to roar: "The Green Scale is the top secret of the Empire, even if Alan snatched the Green Scale, how could he learn to manipulate it so quickly?" It will take at least a year for the knights of the empire to be recognized by the green scales, is it possible that Eren still has barbarian blood? ”
Claudius the Great kept walking up and down the palace, obviously irritated to the extreme.
Gerald finally answered: "Barbarians can domesticate demonic beasts not only because of blood, but also because Eren can't have barbarian blood, didn't he once say that everything he inherited is from the Huaxia clan?" Although the Huaxia clan has not found out a clue yet, Eren does have all kinds of incredible abilities, maybe animal taming is also one of them? ”
Claudius the Great looked at Gerald and sneered: "Gerald, it seems that you really want to recruit that Alan as your grandson-in-law, do you want to say that if you get this kind of animal taming, it will be of great help to the empire, so you want me to pardon Allen's sins?" ”
Gerald did not speak, seemingly acquiescing to the Emperor's words.
Claudius the Great snorted coldly: "Maybe this beast taming technique is magical, but if I want to let Eren go, there is no such possibility." ”
Gerald sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Alan didn't mean to hurt the Thirteenth Prince, you should have already understood what happened on the painting boat, in the room where the crime occurred, there was ink and a pen that had just been written, and these two things appeared in a banquet room, didn't Your Majesty think of something?" ”
Claudius the Great sneered and did not reply.
Gerald took care of himself, "His Royal Highness Victor asked Alan to come to the room, of course, it won't be to talk to Alan about poetry and songs, what is there in Allen's hand to write?" His Majesty asked Alan to write it once that day, and I think His Royal Highness Victor is the same, right? ”
Claudius the Great still sneered.
Since Gerald began to speak, he continued in one breath, "Jessica only paid attention to Algeren that day, and didn't know anything, but there was another witness that day-Kararens, who said that there was a middle-aged man with his legs bound with a short stick in the room that day, and after his description, we can know that this middle-aged man should be Algernon, we can imagine the scene at that time: His Royal Highness Victor kidnapped Algernon, and then used Algernon to threaten Allen, and asked Allen for the recipe for white bone powder and three white pills, Alan refused, so His Highness broke Algernon's legs, and Alan was forced to hand over the formula. ”
The sneer on Claudius the Great's face disappeared, his face became a little gloomy, and he said lightly: "Do you want to say that Alan hurt Victor to avenge Algernon, so it is understandable?" ”
Gerald's eyes flickered, "In order to keep the formula, Alan caused Algernon to be hurt by His Highness, of course he will be angry, and His Majesty also knows Allen's filial piety to his father, so it should be understandable for him to be angry at the crown, right?" ”
Claudius the Great sneered, "Is it understandable to hurt the imperial prince?" ”
Gerald looked directly at the Emperor and said word by word, "What if it wasn't the Imperial Prince who was hurt?" ”
Claudius the Great's face changed slightly, and he said after a while: "At least Victor still holds the title of prince until now, Gerald, I know what you think, but this is impossible, if I can capture Alan alive, maybe I can not take his life for the time being, if I can't capture him alive, I must kill him." ”
Gerald sighed, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you may regret it in the future, didn't Jessica demonstrate its efficacy to the elixir that Alan gave Jessica when he left?" If all these pills can be obtained by the Empire, can Your Majesty imagine what it would be like? Even if it is to unify the continent, it is not impossible, not to mention, who knows if there are other pills in Allen's hands? Coupled with the mysterious beast taming, Your Majesty, can't any of these be worth a Victor? ”
Claudius the Great moved slightly, but after a moment he still shook his head resolutely, "This is impossible, if you hurt the imperial prince and can still get away with it, how will outsiders think of the imperial family?" ”
Gerald smiled bitterly: "Is the face of the royal family that important? ”
Claudius the Great was silent, apparently believing that the face of the royal family was above all else.
Gerald suddenly said, "Your Majesty, do you think that the white bone powder is enough for you to pass on through the ages?" ”
Claudius the Great stared at Gerald, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Gerald knew that he had spoken the Emperor's mind, Claudius the Great felt that the white bone powder was enough for him to pass on through the ages, so he couldn't tolerate the formula leaking out again, and now there was this fair and honest reason Except for Li Feng, the royal family, the only person who mastered the formula of the white bone powder, Claudius the Great, such an eloquent and strategic figure, of course, would not miss such an opportunity.
Claudius the Great is indeed a tolerant emperor, even if Gerald contradicts him like this, he doesn't care too much, stares at Gerald for a long time, or shakes his head and says: "No matter what, Alan must die." ”
Claudius the Great was able to tolerate Gerald's confrontation, but he would not let the white bone meal formula leak out, and he perfectly interpreted what it means to be an emperor's broad heart and what it means to be a king's ruthless strategy.
Gerald could only smile bitterly, "Does Your Majesty think that the people sent to the forest are enough to kill Allen?" ”
Claudius the Great said lightly: "The authority of Drazen is enough to invite the Clear Sky Sword Saint and the Azure Sword Saint. ”
Gerald's face finally changed, Drazen was the one who had a grudge against Li Feng for killing his son, Li Feng not only killed his eldest son Alex, but also castrated his second son Adonis, such hatred is as deep as the sea, Drazen has the authority to invite the two sword saints, and he will never let go of such an opportunity.
Even if Gerald is full of confidence in Li Feng, he will not think that Li Feng can curry favor under the two great sword saints, presumably with the speed of Derazen's movements, the two great sword saints are already on the way to pursue at this time, even if Gerald rushes over at this time, it will be useless, and the emperor looks at him with burning eyes, even if Gerald is pampered and arrogant, it is impossible to rush to rescue Li Feng under the emperor's nose.
Gerald smiled bitterly: "It turns out that although Your Majesty is in a rage, he has already made up his mind for a long time. ”
Claudius the Great shook his head and said: "I'm not doing a trick when I get angry, but I'm really annoyed, one Allen can calmly get out of the imperial capital, which shows that the defense of the imperial capital is already very dangerous, and the attack on Allen's mansion a few days ago also worries me, a duke's palace has been attacked so blatantly, isn't the defense of the imperial capital useless?" ”
Although Gerald confronted Claudius the Great, the Emperor did not seem to be disillusioned at all, and still believed in Gerald.
"Didn't Your Majesty already find out that it was Deputy Commander Bogu of the South City Gate who let Eren out of the city?" Gerald asked.
Claudius the Great shook his head, "It's not that simple, there are still many doubts in it, at least I think Elton who was present at the time was very wrong." ”
Gerald's amount of intelligence could not be compared with Claudius the Great, so he couldn't guess the reason, thought about it, and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness Victor was Allen who met with Prince Marmon that day, has Your Majesty checked Prince Marmont?" Haven't found this prince yet? ”
Claudius the Great snorted coldly: "Prince Mamuen's bones have been found, the search team has found a bunch of bones very early, and there are clothes that Prince Mamun wore that day, Prince Mamun has probably died in the womb of the demonic beast, and I also know that Victor, who Eren can torture, is dead and alive, and of course Prince Mamun will not be treated favorably." ”
Gerald's eyes flickered, "Didn't Your Majesty find it strange?" Why did Eren take Prince Mamun to the forest and let the monster eat him? ”
Claudius the Great frowned, "I didn't think about this, it's indeed a bit strange to take people to the forest to be eaten by demonic beasts, what did you think of?" ”
Although Gerald was worried about Li Feng's safety in his heart, but since he was powerless, he didn't think about it anymore, although he was extremely dissatisfied with Claudius the Great wanting to kill Li Feng, but he was still willing to give advice to Claudius in other aspects, in fact, he had been the emperor's guard for decades, and there were not many people who gave advice, but few people knew, Jessica pestered Gerald all day long to help analyze the problem, not without reason.
Gerald had a thoughtful look on his face, "Alan and Bogu shouldn't know each other at all, how do you know that Bogu can help him?" Alan brought Prince Mamun with him, is it because Prince Mamun can help Eren get out of the city? ”
Claudius the Great was shocked, "You say this, I think Elton is more suspicious, the day before the incident, Prince Mamun suddenly visited Elton's Viscount Palace, how did these two people meet?" Moreover, the news that Bogu absconded in fear of crime was also released by this Elton, could there be anything wrong with this? ”
