Chapter 469: An Unexpected Discovery
Duanmu Huai didn't mean to hide this matter, in fact, after going back, he immediately informed everyone about it.
Because Duanmu Huai knows very well that many things can't be covered, sometimes, admitting reality is more important than anything else, in fact, most of the defeats start from not being able to admit reality.
For now, there is indeed a problem with the royal city, fortunately there is no problem with the second legion, after leaving the royal city, everyone went to the border between Herman and the demon world, where everything is still in order, and the general of the second legion also met with them, when the other party learned that something happened to the royal city, the surprise and surprise did not seem to be fake.
In other words, what happened in Wangcheng was not only unknown to the Inquisition Court and the Qin Wang Army, but even to the Second Legion.
No one knows what's going on inside.
"From a magical point of view, I think it would be quite a terrible ritual or magic ............... to use so many corpses."
Ann and Gruya studied it for a while, and finally came up with this answer. It's a pity that even Shizuka can't accurately answer whether there is a magical existence in this world that needs so many corpses.
But in any case, Ann was right.
Whatever the Council was trying to do, the use of so many corpses was problematic in itself.
"Now the soldiers are starting to get a little agitated."
Uruzer is more concerned with another issue.
Although they have now recruited many soldiers on the spot, many of the soldiers of the 1st, 4th, and 5th Legions live in the royal city. At this time, they heard that something had happened to Wang Cheng, and they also wanted to go back and have a look, wanting to know the whereabouts of their family.
"Are we going to change our plans?"
"The original plan remains unchanged, those people will be reorganized into a force, and they will go to the royal city together with the Fourth Legion and the Inquisition, while the others will continue to be in charge of the current work."
Duanmu Huai shook his head, the number of the Fourth Legion was currently close to one hundred thousand, second only to the Second Legion. And the 1st and 5th Army Corps were on their side, which directly dispelled the resistance of other cities. In fact, all they had to face now was the death throes of the Council party, and no one else had any intention of fighting the Fourth Legion to the end.
In this case, the Fourth Legion already had enough strength to deal with the petty ones.
In that case, it's time for the trial chamber to act.
The news of Wang Cheng spread throughout the Qin Wang Army, and the pro-guard team naturally knew the news.
"Is this true? Captain? β
Lucien, who learned the news, almost rushed in front of Kierty and asked.
"Huh? Well......... Yes, we have investigated the royal city, and at least for now, the royal city has indeed been attacked, but the body is nowhere to be found........."
"How could it be ...............?"
"What's wrong? Lucyan? β
Looking at Lucien's terrified face, Kirti looked at her suspiciously. Having said that, she hadn't forgotten that she had suspected that Lucien was a certain noble lady of Herman, so for now, could it be that her home was in the royal city of Herman? If that's the case, it makes sense.........
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Lucien didn't answer Kierty's question, she hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Kierty.
"Miss Kirty, I'd like to talk to the Inquisitor, okay? I have something very important to tell him! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, Kirti looked at Lucien carefully, and then nodded.
"Absolutely."
After that, Kirti took Lucien to the command room, and it happened that everyone was there, and when they saw Kirti bringing Lucien over, they didn't pay much attention to it until Kirti spoke.
"Your Excellency Inquisitor, this Miss Lucien says she has something very important to tell you."
"Oh?"
Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at Kirti and Lucian beside her, facing Duanmu Huai's gaze, Lucian trembled, but still stood there with her waist straight.
"What's the matter?"
Duanmu Huai stared at Lucian and asked, but the latter hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"Before I do that, I want to remove the transformation magic from me......... May I? β
"Of course, who's coming?"
Duanmu Huai was not surprised by Lucien's statement that he had used transformation magic, after all, Kirti had already told him about his suspicions about Lucian. Looks like a commoner, but wears high-end underwear, and her skin is delicate and silky, not like a weathered peasant child, and at that time Kirty suspected that Lucien might have used transformation magic.
Now it seems that Kierti's observation is still very good.
"I'll do it."
Although it has become smaller, Shizuka's magical power has not diminished, and her mind is still there.
How do you say thatβββ although he has become a child, his mind is still bright, this is the detective......... Ahem, stop playing.
Of course, Shizuka didn't know what Duanmu Huai was thinking, she walked up to Lucian and stretched out her hand. Soon, a magical light enveloped Lucien's body, and then, in full view of everyone, Lucian gradually began to change, the ribbon that bound her hair loosened, and her hair stretched downward, and her long black hair shimmered with golden brilliance. At the same time, the girl's originally light brown skin began to become as white and delicate as porcelain, and the gray eyes also showed a dazzling green brilliance like a jewel.
"Hey......... Ahh?!!hhh β
Seeing this scene at this moment, not only Kriolev's eyes widened in surprise, but Rolex opened his mouth wide in surprise, pointing at Lucian speechless, and even Klim was stunned at this time, staring blankly at the girl in front of him.
"The Emperor............... Your Majesty?! β
The brilliance of magic dissipated, and at this moment, it was no longer the previous slave girl who appeared in front of everyone, but a girl with bright blond hair and green eyes, and a noble and beautiful face.
She let out a long sigh, then looked at Duanmu Huai and lifted the hem of her skirt.
"Hello, Inquisitor, this is the first time we met, and I am very sorry for hiding my identity from you all along, I am the Emperor of the Herman Kingdomβββ Sheila. Herman. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
At this moment, everyone present was stunned.
This slave girl is actually ......... Emperor?!!
In fact, even Kirti, who had long been suspicious of Sheila, was dumbfounded and speechless at this time, at most she thought that this girl was likely to be the eldest lady of some nobleman in Herman, but she didn't expect that she would be ......... Emperor?
Good guys, the emperor mixed into the army of King Qin, and there is still this kind of operation?!
"Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor!!"
Kerim even knelt directly on the ground, afraid to speak.
"It's really surprising."
In contrast, Duanmu Huai was only slightly surprised.
"But you're clearly not here to say hello to me by identifying yourself now, are you? Is there something going on? β
"Yes, yes."
Lucien βββ that something was wrong, and Emperor Sheila nodded vigorously.
"In fact, there is a reason why I fled from the royal city...............
Sheila then told everyone why she had fled the royal city.
According to Sheila, one day Stether came to her room and proudly told her that he had gained enough power to conquer the whole world, and he also took out a box that he said was the key. As long as it can be activated, then it can activate a powerful force that no one can match, and at that time, the whole world will be Herman's bag, and he will become the king of the world!
Sheila is horrified to learn about this, and in the end, she makes a risky decision to steal the key and leave the royal city! Then send the key to the AL Church's headquarters, although Sheila doesn't know what it is, but since Stirser says that he wants to use it to rule the world, then the best way is naturally to send it to the AL Church.
Luckily, her maid was willing to assist her and brought her a potion of transformation, and the two of them drank the potion and transformed. Sheila took on the form of a maid, and the maid turned into Sheila's form, and then Sheila followed the maid's prompts and secretly left the royal city with the box.
"Then how did you become a slave??"
Duanmu Huai couldn't figure out how an emperor could become a slave, while Sheila lowered her head in frustration. According to her, she obediently followed the maid's account and went to a border village to find the person the maid said she was talking about, and the maid told her that if he found this person, he would be able to send Sheila to the AL church.
As a result, I didn't expect that person to be a slave trader............... Well, looking at it this way, Sheila is probably pitted by her own maid.
"So do you know what Stether is talking about?"
"I don't know."
Sheila shook her head.
"Stirser was very cautious and didn't tell me anything about it."
"So, after you heard about the royal city, you think this is the trump card that Stether said?"
"Yes."
As she spoke, Sheila took out a box and handed it to Duanmu Huai.
"That's the key."
"It looks like it's just an empty box."
Duanmu Huai took the box, shook and shook, well, there was nothing in it, it was empty.
"That's what I said at the beginning, but Stirser says there's a big secret hidden inside..............."
"Secrets..............."
Duanmu Huai looked at the box.
"That's easy."
"Simple?"
"yes, since this thing is the key, then......... Just destroy it!! β
As he spoke, a black flame appeared in Duanmu Huai's hand, and then he grabbed it with his palm, and the next moment he saw that the box was suddenly shattered, accompanied by a sharp wail, and everyone only saw a humanoid thing flying out of itβββ and then it was directly swallowed by the black flames, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Well, it looks like a soul is sealed inside, as for whose soul......... It's all dead, and there's no point in talking about it. β
"Uh....................."
Seeing this scene, Sheila was completely speechless.
Duanmu Huai clapped his hands, knocked the dust off his hands, and then looked at Sheila.
"Then Your Majesty, since you are all here, why don't you come with us."
