Section 528 The depressed emperor

"What the hell is going on?, why did Stephen do so hard to you?" the Emperor asked sharply. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This~" The Shadow Sword Saint Joseph immediately softened, and he didn't know what to say, after all, the assassination of Catherine had something to do with him, and the old mage didn't find the wrong person to settle accounts with him.
When the emperor saw that he was silent, he immediately became angry, and immediately roared: "Say it quickly!"
Seeing that the emperor was really angry, the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly said, "It's not for Catherine's business!"
"Alas!" the Emperor smacked the bed hard, and then roared angrily: "I knew, I knew he wouldn't give up! He came to me the first time Catherine was assassinated, and I warned you, but you just didn't listen, and you dared to assassinate him a second time!
The Shadow Sword Saint Joseph was scolded by the emperor for being bloody, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense at all. Although he was also aggrieved, he didn't dare to put the responsibility on the third prince, so he could only hang his head and be scolded.
The emperor scolded for a while, and was a little tired, picked up the teacup on the table, took a few sips, and suddenly remembered something, hurriedly put down the cup and asked, "No, didn't I let you stay in Winster Castle?
"No, Your Majesty, I didn't run around, it was Stephen who led people to suddenly attack Winster Castle at night, and I fought hard to escape!"
"What?" The emperor's face suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the others, what about the Holy Domains, and those reserve students?"
"Stephen has completely destroyed Winster Castle, they~" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's too bad luck!"
"What?" the emperor suddenly said angrily, "Winster Castle is destroyed, and none of those Sacred Realm masters who have been cultivated with great difficulty have escaped?"
"Yes, yes!" said Joseph, the Shadow Sword Saint, with his head down.
"It's you!" the emperor then picked up the teacup and smashed it over, and then said angrily: "You bastard! Over the past few decades, in order to let you organize shadow assassins, I have thrown in more than 10 million gold coins! More than 10 million gold coins! You have ruined me like this?"
When the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph heard this, he was also speechless. In fact, it is no wonder that the emperor is angry, and it is really that he has suffered too much loss this time. You know, he has been organizing shadow assassins for decades, and he receives hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year. So the sum of the funds cost did reach a terrifying 10 million gold coins. With such a large investment in funds, once it is lost, no one will be so angry.
Of course, the emperor was angry, but how could the shadow sword saint Joseph not be angry? You must know that the reason why he was able to win the emperor's trust was because of the organization of this shadow assassin, although it cost the emperor tens of millions of gold coins, but after all, he made five holy domains, plus hundreds of elite masters, and he only made a profit.
But now it's a good thing, not only are the five Sanctuary finished, but even the old nest and the seeds trained in it have been wiped out. In doing so, it would be tantamount to erasing the Shadow Assassin Order completely. If he wants to recover, it will be impossible for him not to take a few decades, but can the emperor still be willing to give him the support of tens of millions of gold coins? Even if the emperor supports it, the old mage will definitely not help him train magicians anymore. In other words, I'm afraid the Shadow Assassin Order will never be able to reorganize in the future. In addition, he himself has another disabled hand and can no longer return to his previous state. All of this adds up to mean that the poor Shadow Sword Saint Joseph no longer has a place for the emperor to value.
And once he loses the emperor's trust, then what can he do as a cripple? Perhaps the best outcome is to die of obscurity for the rest of his life, such a result is obviously too cruel for him, an ambitious and immortal sword saint. Thinking of this, the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph longed to bite the old mage to death.
Thinking of this, the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph immediately said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, although the assassination is my fault, Stephen's bastard should also come to me? Why do you want to take the entire Shadow Assassin Organization to be angry? He clearly doesn't take you seriously." Your Majesty's decades of hard work have been ruined, and this is all his sin, can you spare him?"
"You still have the face to say!" The Emperor then scolded, "If you hadn't made your own decisions, would I have suffered so much?"
"You should send someone to arrest him and pronounce him for his sins!" said Joseph, the Shadow Sword Saint, immediately.
"Are you stupid?" the Emperor then said angrily, "Stephen just killed a group of assassins who assassinated the princess, and he had no merit, what excuse should I use to judge him?"
"This~" As soon as the shadow sword saint Joseph heard this, he suddenly understood, it turned out that although they were on a killing spree, they were still the reasonable party. If this incident breaks out, they are indeed meritorious, after all, it is the shadow assassin who assassinates the princess first!
Then the emperor continued to scold: "Besides, don't you know what the status of Mr. Stephen is in the Griffin Empire?
"This~" When the shadow sword saint Joseph heard this, he immediately shrank his neck in fright, and said in his heart, if I meet him, I am afraid that he will be killed on the spot before I even have time to say the order to arrest.
"Hmph!" the emperor snorted coldly, then took a few breaths, remembered something again, and couldn't help but scold hatefully again: "Damn, Stephen let me lose tens of millions of gold coins, but I can't blame him, but I have to say good things to him!"
"Well, why is that?" said Joseph, the Shadow Sword Saint, immediately puzzled.
"Do you need to ask, idiot, how many people have you killed over the years, and if Stephen makes the Shadow Assassin public, the relatives of those who have been killed will not be allowed to eat me?" said the Emperor angrily, "I can't ask him to keep it a secret for me!"
When the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph heard this, it suddenly dawned on him. It turns out that in the decades since the establishment of the Shadow Assassins, they have not only trained but also done a lot of work. Most of them are politicians who deal with unpleasant things for the emperor. Those guys dare to fight against the emperor, naturally they have a certain amount of dependence, and they are not afraid that the emperor will deal with them clearly, so the emperor can only use shadow assassins to solve it. And the Shadow Sword Saint's subordinates did a really good job, even if those people were killed, they were all well disguised, although there were also relatives of the deceased who suspected the emperor, but there was no evidence, so they could only stop there.
And if the old mage was angry and exposed the shadow assassin, then the emperor would have a lot of fun. You must know that those who died are not all from the Griffin Kingdom, but also the nobles of other small and medium-sized forces in the mainland, and even the nobles of the big countries occasionally. If the relatives of the deceased learn the truth, eighty percent will unite, and at that time, under internal and external troubles, I am afraid that his throne will not be stable. With such serious consequences, the emperor's head was going to explode when he thought about it.
Since the Shadow Sword Saint Joseph knew the seriousness of the matter, of course he didn't dare to force the emperor and Stephen to turn their faces, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the matter of the shadow assassin, you see, is it still going on?"
"Do you still have 10 million for you to squander?" the emperor scolded angrily.
"No, no, I definitely won't need that much this time, you forgot, I still have a group of elites under me, and there are dozens of masters who have reached level six. The Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly explained: "I have improved the plan of ascension, which can greatly increase the success rate, as long as you support me, at most one year, I promise to get you 2 more Assassins of the Holy Domain!"
As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "How much does that cost?"
"Oh, 500,000 gold coins!" Joseph, the Shadow Sword Saint, hurriedly said: "Exchange 500,000 gold coins for two Sacred Domain masters, Your Majesty, no matter how you look at it, this deal is worth it!"
"It's worth a fart, I'm going to get dozens of sixth-level masters!" The emperor was obviously not so easy to deceive, and then he said angrily: "Your success rate is less than one-tenth, how did you get it? Isn't this a waste of talent?"
"Your Majesty, I can't help it, the success rate is really too difficult to improve!" "Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly said: "However, the Sacred Domain master is a completely different existence from the sixth-level master, under normal circumstances, only one of a hundred sixth-level masters can enter the Sacred Domain, and I can do three, or even four, which is already very good!"
"Alas!" the emperor sighed and said, "Can't you just think of a way? These dozens of sixth-level masters have also spent a lot of gold coins to cultivate?
"Your Majesty, I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, this is also a helpless thing!" Shadow Sword Saint Joseph hurriedly said: "You should still focus on the overall situation!"
"En!" the emperor let out a long breath again, then waved his hand tiredly, and said, "Let me think about this again, you go and rest first!"
"Yes!" Although the shadow sword saint Joseph was unwilling, he could only retreat helplessly.
After casually sending away the Shadow Sword Saint, the emperor who had suffered heavy losses seemed to be ten years old for a while, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Teacher, you are too ruthless! Can't you leave a way for my students to live?"

Just when the emperor sighed for a long time, the old mage who failed to chase and kill also returned to the magic tower, and after seeing the old evil, Lan Fake and Sven, he scolded angrily: "Joseph is enough to be a mother, he is not worthy of being a sword saint at all, he is a coward! bastard!
"Ha!" When the old evil heard this, he immediately said funny: "I said, you won't let him run away, right?"
