Volume 5 The Return of the King 31 Mountains and Rivers

Find Varian...... Scold!

Let's be honest...... Let's talk about Varian's disappearance. It's definitely not as simple as going missing.

yes, you know it's not easy. Not to mention how the planners used to kidnap the king...... Varian was trained by me. Not to mention that it is okay to be a thirteen or thirteen person, after all, he is young at this time, and he can't be subdued casually.

So when it comes to this, there must be an inner ghost!

Right?

Can outsiders approach the king? Of course not! So this must have been done by insiders!

So here's the problem.

Insider...... Who? Who will have this ability, this mind, this guts. Let's look at it from another angle...... Who benefits the most.

Is this clear?

It is absolutely impossible that the old aunt who lost the kingdom and sold eggs in the vegetable market benefited the most. Right?

One more thing do you want...... If you have the ability to do this kind of thing, then why not just kill the king? What are the consequences of killing the king?

The king is dead!

When Varian's father Ryan died in front of him, the orc assassin Garona was called a trusted ally by his father. Yes...... Far from it. What was the situation at that time? Internal and external troubles! Right. The reason why the kingdom is not chaotic is because the orc war is not over yet, right?

The king was assassinated, but the orcs did it! In addition, if the orcs can do this kind of thing, it means that the war will start again, and although it is easy to launch a coup d'Γ©tat at this time, it is easy to be targeted and fall into absolute public opinion, and for various reasons, this kind of king will not last long.

But now the kingdom has been restored, the orcs have been defeated, and the world is at peace. Although Varian was also a relatively powerful king, more powerful than his father, one of the conditions for rebellion existed, and that was the Masonry Brotherhood.

No matter what, this infamy just needs to be placed on their heads! They planned, they did.

Yes, the king owes them money, and they killed the queen, and the king will destroy them and uproot them.

But is that really the case?

At least the common people think so! The king's accident is the revenge of the masonry brotherhood. But why not just kill it!

The result of killing them directly is that the young prince is too young to preside over the country, and the powerful ministers control the government. At this time, whoever comes out to preside over the overall situation may be privately labeled as a collaborator.

It's hard to explain this kind of thing, because there were too many people who received money from the Masonry Brotherhood back then! According to what Coulson said, although the Masonry Brotherhood will be driven out of Stormwind City, or even almost driven out of Stormwind Kingdom, their people are deeply rooted in Stormwind Kingdom, and how many princes, ministers, and nobles have taken their money, received their benefits, and helped them do things!

It had already subsided, but now something happened again, or the king died directly! This is a bit of a problem. Because it happened too suddenly, it is very likely that a situation will arise in which a group of people will oppose the person who is in charge of the government at the king's side because of a certain policy, a certain regulation, some old thing, or even a rumor, and then a civil war will quickly start.

It is said that it is easy to fish in troubled waters, kill the king directly, and have no worries about the king's survival, this kind of thing is indeed a good thing, but the price is also very large, and ...... The person who planned this must be strong enough! The most important thing is the army!

Army! It must be! Undoubtedly!

And in whose hands is the power of the army at this time? In the King! It's not Bolval, it's not Leorick, it's not Grayson! There is a good chance that there will be a scuffle, and then there will be a situation that will be difficult to manage.

And the price paid for this scenario is the greatest! But what if the king is lost?

I can't see people alive or dead, but are I really dead? I don't know! If you don't know, you may not be dead! Since he is not dead, whoever is too active at this time will become the target of public criticism if he wants to take the lead! Things on the surface will be reduced, and the competition in the dark will not be too embarrassing on the surface, and there will be room for maneuvering and buffering.

This time is invaluable, and you can even do many, many things, including cutting off dissidents. But as I said just now, one is not too aggressive, and the other is that you must have enough strength!

The three races, Berval, are the strongest, Leoric, although he is related to Varian, is not as strong as before, and the Grayson family is the weakest. Although there is a gap, the gap is not so big that one side can completely crush anyone.

But these are all people who will be pushed to the front of the stage and forcibly perform, so there is ...... What about the people behind the scenes who seem to be irrelevant, or inconsequential? yes, they're not going to perform on stage, the spotlight isn't on them! But the more such people are, the more they can't be underestimated!

The people who dare to do this kind of thing and can do this kind of thing are not ordinary people, so it is really hard to say who will be the beneficiary in the end.

Coulson's mood is becoming more and more pessimistic, and this is the first time I have seen this man feel such emotions. Now he looks completely different from before, and after I talked to him, he seemed to be a little out of his brain. And I couldn't have given him better advice.

Of course, I also persuaded him whether to leave this place or not, but he looked at the group of brothers who followed behind him and only said that he would consider it. In fact, I just stand and talk without back pain, where can he go? It's not twenty or thirty, it's hundreds. Hundreds of people!

Hundreds of people are already able to do something on their own. But I don't want to tell him that if he really can't get around, I'll go to the Brotherhood of Defia, and if it's really necessary in the future, I'll send him an invitation, but definitely not now.

His thoughts are still pinned on finding Varian, finding it as soon as possible, and solving the case. But how can I say this to him? Regardless of whether the people of Stormwind City find Varian or not, whether they find it as soon as possible, his chances of returning to Stormwind City are almost gone, and he is now an outcast! An outcast who was used to divert attention! He is already the greatest luck not to be wanted, of course, this is impossible.

He asked me where I was going, and I lied that I was going to Treasure Bay to the south.

I left them that day. I gave the beaten guy some money when I came, and I wanted to leave some for him before I left, but he politely declined. He said he wouldn't need this in this kind of place!

After leaving Coulson, I went all the way to think about the possible future, but I thought more about Edwin, and I thought he could be good, but I always felt that Edwin might not be good in the end. After all, the kidnapping of the king has gone too far. So much so that I don't know how to help him, is it to push the boat or to uphold justice? This question made me very irritable.

I do have a direction here, but I just want to get out of here. When I finally found the path left by the trolls, I hesitated, and if I went north, I would definitely enter the twilight forest, and it would be better to go west, or maybe it would be easier to walk along the seashore when I reached the sea.

Thinking of this, I decided to head west, but as I was about to leave, a couple of green-skinned goblins emerged from the bushes beside me.

There was no hair on their heads, big eyes, pointed noses, long pointed ears and chins, and yellow teeth in their mouths were really disgusting to look at. They came out of the bushes and stared at me like that, weapons in their hands.

This is a robbery!

"Human!" The guy with some yellow hair on his head spoke to me, but the accent wasn't stiff at all.

Seeing that I was unmoved, he turned his head and said to the people around him, "He doesn't understand!" What to do? ”

"Do you think he looks like a good guy?" A goblin said.

"He's just an old man!"

"How do you know he's an old man?"

"Young human faces don't look like that, I know!" The goblin at the head said.

"Can he help us?" Someone in the back questioned.

The goblin in the lead stared at me, then gestured with his hand and pointed to his ear, "You...... Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

"Hmph...... If you have something to ask someone for help, it's best to put your weapon away. I said.

They were in an uproar and cried out, "You can speak our language!" ”

"Surprised?"

"Surprised!" The guy in the lead shook his head and said, "Can you help us?" ”

"What can I help you?"

"We ......" he rolled his eyelids, "we're lost." ”

"Lost?"

"Yes!" He said, shaking his hands, "We want to go back...... Booty Bay. You will speak our words, you must know that place, right? ”

"Yes." I said, staring at that sly face.

"Can you guide us?" He laughs. He laughed honestly, it was really ugly.

"I think you're lying to me." I say.

"I didn't lie to you, friend!" He hurriedly explained: "We ...... Be...... I'm here to investigate. He turned his head to look at the goblin behind him, then at me and said, "But this one...... You know, there's trolls here. ”

"What are you here to investigate?"

"Uh...... We're going to open a mine. He said as he rubbed his hands.

"And then hunted down by the trolls, right?"

He nodded in acknowledgement. "We ...... Not local. He said.

"Not local?" I looked at them with a little surprise. "What do you mean?"

"We ...... Not the people of Booty Bay, we're from ...... Belch...... Another place. So I'm not very familiar with this place. ”

"What about the local goblins?"

"We were swept apart...... Belch...... A lot of people died. He said.

"I remember there was a name called a venture capital firm, right?" I stared into his eyes.

"Ah...... Be...... Belch! But we're not a venture capital firm! He laughed, "We are...... Uh, hot sand group's. ”

"It seems like a big organization." I laughed.

"That's right! It's really big. ”

"In that case......" I leaned over to look at him. What good can you give me? ”
