Chapter 526: Royal Secrets
The Earl of Celtic's estate was so large that it was necessary to take a car from one end of the estate to the other, otherwise it would take half an hour to walk.
Along the way, they also saw a lot of transcendentals, but their strength was generally very low.
The price of hiring transcendents is not low, ordinary guards don't need so many strong people, like the three people who were killed by Yang Cheng before are the real henchmen of Count Celtic.
But it was clear that the Earl of Celtic could not find a transcendent of that level for a while.
Yang Cheng and Master Morton lurked all the way to the largest building in the manor, and Master Morton took out a small bottle and released some small turquoise bugs.
This is also considered an alchemy synthesis, but it belongs to the lowest level and can be used for exploration.
Soon Master Morgan locked the room where the Celtic Earl was, and even through a small mirror, they could see the inside of the house through the eyes of those little bugs.
I saw that the Celtic Earl was holding two people and playing a three-person game, but the problem was that the other two were not women, but a man and a woman, and Yang Cheng couldn't bear to look at the scene.
He never thought that this Celtic Earl would be both male and female, and the one he played was called a flower.
Master Morton also felt the spicy eyes, and directly controlled the little bug to take a bite on each of the three of them, and all three of them fainted in an instant.
When he came to the house, Master Morton laid down a silent magic circle and tapped it on the head of the Celtic Earl, and the Celtic Earl suddenly came to his senses.
Seeing Yang Cheng and Master Moulton, Earl Celtic subconsciously exclaimed, and then immediately lowered his voice and said, "Two, isn't the last incident in the past?"
Huggins is dead and dead, I never thought of avenging him, what do you mean? ”
Earl Celtic is not an idiot, and in this situation, his small life is obviously under the control of Yang Cheng and Moulton.
If he had shouted and threatened, he might have died faster.
The two of them had a grudge because of what happened to Huggins last time, so the Celtic Earl thought that the other party was still coming at him because of that incident.
Yang Cheng said: "The last thing is in the past, and this time it is a new thing.
What did you give Wood a mission to find healthy and strong fresh blood?
In your mission, more than a dozen civilians died tragically in the West District. ”
The Earl of Celtic was stunned for a moment, without the slightest expression on his face, but a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He never thought that the other party would find him because of this matter.
At the same time, Celtic also secretly scolded Wood for being unreliable in his heart.
In fact, the Earl of Celtic did not find Wood to ask the other party to find a target in the West End of St. Brand and collect blood.
He just told Wood what he wanted, as long as things were done covertly and the blood was up to the mark.
Wood subcontracted the task to Noyins, only focusing on the blood requirements, not talking about concealment or anything like that, and he didn't do the task anyway.
Of course, it was impossible for Noyins to do this kind of task himself, so he handed it over to the dark mage under his command and told him to go to the ground to do it.
Noyins actually had a good eye, for fear that it would be easy to attract the attention of the transcendents by doing it in several other districts, so he deliberately let his men go to the chaotic civilian area of the West District, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating and ran into Grace and Yang Cheng.
The black mage was also lazy, thinking that it didn't matter how many people died in a place like the West End, so he didn't handle the body carefully, which led to the discovery of Grace.
Therefore, the Earl of Celtic is also unlucky, not counting the difference between the middlemen, but also being cheated.
"Wood? Is Captain Wood of the Royal Guard? I didn't give him any assignments. ”
A look of surprise appeared on the Earl's face in an instant, and the disguise was not leaky.
A sharp bloody aura appeared in Yang Cheng's hand, and he tapped Earl Celtic's head, and the cold aura made Earl Celtic shiver suddenly.
"I don't have time to argue with you here, saying, why, there is only one chance, and if you say something wrong, I will poke your head."
Yang Cheng's tone was not fierce, but seemed very calm.
But it was this calm tone that made the Celtic Earl chill, and he knew that Yang Cheng really dared to kill him.
"I say! The task is to collect blood in order to complete an alchemical secret technique to help Prince Lyon give birth to a child. ”
Yang Cheng was slightly stunned, why is this still related to the child?
"Tell me about it."
The Celtic Earl did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly told the detailed cause and effect of the matter.
The death of civilians in the western region was rooted in the royal struggle of the Assyrian kingdom.
This generation of Assyrian emperors, Clough Edward, was in his sixties, but he had only one offspring, and he was not made a prince.
The Edward family of the Assyrian kingdom seemed to be cursed by something, and there were very few royals in each generation.
Only one brother of Clough's generation, Lynn, was made a prince.
It stands to reason that Clough has a child who should be crowned a prince, but I don't know if it's because he was a child in his fifties, so the child was a little congenitally defective, he only learned to speak when he was seven or eight years old, and his reaction was also very slow, and now he is ten years old, so he can barely write his name, and he can't even recognize all the letters.
To put it simply, the only son of the emperor is a fool.
But to let a fool inherit the throne is unacceptable to the royal family and the entire Assyrian kingdom.
The structure of the Assyrian kingdom seemed strange to Yang Cheng, somewhat like a constitutional monarchy, but not like a constitutional monarchy.
The kingdom has a parliament and various departments, and the appointment and dismissal of officials is not something that the emperor has to say at his fingertips, but also needs to be voted on through the parliament.
But at the same time, the emperor has supreme power, such as the army, finances, and even wars with other countries, these major matters are under the control of the emperor.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to make a fool emperor, which will bury the Assyrian kingdom.
So Clough's son has not been able to become a prince for so many years, and even if Clough forced the parliament to pass a resolution, he was finally stopped by many nobles.
But Clough was very unwilling, he was such a son, he couldn't give birth at his age, of course he wanted his son to be emperor.
His own son is not completely stupid, but he is just a little slow to react, is so much of the elite in the parliament eating dry food? The Assyrian kingdom is still so deep.
Even if the dog in St. Brand's palace does not affect the operation of the kingdom, why can't his son be the emperor?
Therefore, in recent years, Emperor Clough and the entire kingdom council and nobles have been in a very stiff situation because of the prince.
However, Prince Laien, who has always been low-key and forbearing, has long been secretly planning.
Prince Lyne is much younger than Clough, in his forties, but he has no sons.
Even he is worse than Clough, he was diagnosed by many doctors in the empire a few years ago, and it is difficult for him to have offspring in his life.
But Laien was not reconciled, and even coveted the throne.
Not of this generation, of course, but of the next generation.
Seeing that the contradiction between Emperor Clough and the parliament and the nobles is getting deeper and deeper, at this time, as long as he gives birth to a descendant, as long as it is a normal offspring, the parliament and the nobles will be on his side!
Prince Lyne planned for a long time, found an alchemist who was good at human alchemy, and used Prince Lyon's male essence to create a descendant.
Those things such as blood and materials were all prepared for this alchemy.
After listening to this, Master Morton suddenly snorted coldly: "What nonsense!
The birth of man is the product of the union of man and woman, and this is the rule of the world that the Creator created when He created the living beings!
How is it possible to be able to give birth to offspring with only a male essence? Do you know what this means? It represents the creation of man, and it represents that those who developed this alchemy coveted the authority of the Creator! ”
The Celtic Earl hurriedly said, "I really didn't lie to you!
I don't know about alchemy, but that's what the alchemist did.
If you don't believe me, I can show you there.
I have a laboratory under my estate. ”
Morton frowned, "Who is that alchemist you are looking for?" ”
"That guy's name is awkward, his name is von Hohenheim Paracelsus, and he is also a member of your Alchemist Guild."
"It's him!"
Master Morton was taken aback.
Although many people in the Alchemist Guild regarded Hohenheim as a weirdo, Moulton knew that this guy's alchemy level was quite powerful, comparable to that of a super-level alchemist.
A few days ago, he found out that Hohenheim had been funded in an alchemy laboratory, but he didn't expect it to be the Earl of Celtic and Prince Lyon.
Yang Cheng said on the side: "Such a simple question, why are you so complicated?"
Why don't you just get Prince Lai's wife pregnant, and then say that this is your own son, how simple is it?
Could it be that he just wanted to be cuckolded? ”
Count Celtic shook his head and said: "It's not so simple, the reason why the Edward family has been able to control the Assyrian kingdom for so many years is because the artifact handed down by the ancestors of the Assyrian kingdom is under the control of the Edward family, and each generation of emperors is the owner of the artifact.
And this artifact only recognizes the bloodline of the Edward family, and at the ceremony of being crowned as the prince, the artifact must be invited to make a brand, and it is also necessary to become a prince, and after ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, it is even more necessary to be recognized by the artifact.
So pretending to be a royal bloodline, you can't even pass the first level. ”
Master Morton suddenly said, "Let's go, take me to the alchemy laboratory to have a look." ”
The alchemical laboratory in Celtic Manor was just below his study, extending into a secret basement.
When he saw the contents of the alchemy laboratory, Moulton's face suddenly changed.
