With a mysterious premonition and following a hint of direction, Richard successfully found his target George I in a noble manor outside Plymouth.

It's actually easy to find

Outside the city, there is only this aristocratic manor in the northwest, which stands out among the surrounding rural buildings, and the lights shine in the night, which is a bright light in the night.

At this time, the night is silent, and everything is silent.

The lights still shine through the upper floors of the manor castle, and through the curtains, you can see young George I busy on his bed......

In the corridor covered with thick carpets, several heavily armed officers of the Greek royal family stood at the entrance of the staircase and chatted in a low voice, and there were more than a dozen officers on duty in the hall on the first floor, which were quite tightly guarded.

On the periphery of the manor, there are more than 200 Greek guards patrolling back and forth, protecting the entire manor from wind and rain.

No one found out

A bird of prey passed by in the night sky for a moment, but a dark shadow teleported into the castle, and in two flickering, he pushed the door open and entered the dormitory, stepping on the thick carpet without making a sound.

Through the draping curtain, George I was busy panting, and the lavish room was filled with an indescribable atmosphere, and there was an intermittent exchange of voices;

"Dear Viscountess, am I much better than that old thing in the House of Lords in London, I heard that he has contracted dysentery in North Africa, and is basically useless."

"Well, don't talk about my majesty."

Richard didn't want to hear this, and through the curtain he vaguely saw the viscountess lying on the bed, and George I was already sweating a little sweat, still as tireless as an old scalper.

In this way, he quietly dodged and lightly stretched his ape arm, and bombarded the back of George I's head from behind, this palm spit out and shattered the brain stem, and George I's body fell down limply, crushing the woman under him.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with you?" The woman asked with a languid gasp.

Richard had quickly dodged away, pushed the door open and closed it tightly, and then disappeared with a flicker.

Within two minutes, the panicked screams of a woman could be heard from the bedroom, a shrill cry that pierced the night and immediately set the whole castle into an uproar.

One light after another was lit, and the Greek royal guards immediately gathered nervously, scurrying around like headless flies......

As the birds of prey swept past in the night sky, Richard was already sitting upright on the huge back wing of the bald eagle, his eyes glanced coldly at the panicked manor, and flew high on the bald eagle in the direction of the English Channel.

The death of George I, with modern medicine, can only be attributed to the "immediate stroke".

This is not uncommon in European aristocratic circles, but most of the middle-aged and elderly nobles died suddenly while having fun, and it is indeed unbelievable that George I, who was only 19 years old, died in such an undignified way.

It is said that Attila the Great, the famous "whip of God", also died of this disease.

The night in June is like water, and the sea breeze is blowing.

The five bald eagles fly quite fast, soaring high in the empty sky, their huge wings flapping every few moments.

"Oh...... Roar ......"

Richard let out a long howl with his arms outstretched and shouted excitedly; "I am the world...... World...... It...... Wang ......"

His shouts echoed in the endless sea and sky, and the aftermath lingered.

In the early morning, the first rays of the morning sun shine on the magnificent palace complex of the Palace of Versailles, reflecting an intoxicating glow.

Since submarine cables had been laid in the English Channel for a long time, the "violent death of George I" in Plymouth quickly spread to Paris and other parts of Europe, and immediately caused a sensation, and all kinds of speculation flew all over the sky.

Among them, there is a thriller saying; "George I was cursed by the mysterious East" and died.

One of the morning visits was a visit to Notre-Dame Cathedral and a visit to Cardinal Jean-Noyal of the Archdiocese of Paris for further in-depth exchanges.

The French Emperor Napoleon III did not participate in the plan, but he did not expect that His Majesty the French Emperor gave up other schedules and made a special trip to Notre Dame Cathedral to have a private meeting with the Tang Emperor Richard, and had the following conversation in a secret room.

This private meeting consisted of only three people, in addition to the two emperors, Cardinal Jean-Noyal, and the level of the meeting was extremely high.

"I couldn't believe it when I heard the news, but I remembered that a few days ago, His Majesty had said that those who offended the imperial power would be punished by heaven. I really can't sit still, God, is this all true? Napoleon III asked worriedly.

His eyes were fixed on Richard, as if he could find some answer in his face.

Richard spread his hands helplessly and said; "Your Majesty, what I mean is no different from Western teachings.

The so-called divine right of kings, and those who blatantly offend the imperial power are no different from blasphemy, and will inevitably be punished by heaven, and I think there will be similar discussions in Catholic teachings.

As for the punishment of sinners, that is not the realm of our inquiry.

In my cognition;

No one can afford to let another able-bodied person die across a wide strait and hundreds of kilometers away.

Moreover, this person is still under the strict protection of hundreds of palace guards, which is obviously malicious slander.

I can't explain all this, but I'm sure the so-called "mysterious Eastern curse" isn't that powerful.

Legend has it that it is a woodcut figure with mysterious symbols painted on it, and it is pricked with a needle on the seven orifices of a person, but it must be cast day and night at close range. For example, if it is placed on the victim's bed or in a cage, that is to say, in a room, it is not possible to be far away.

A closer look at the scene will reveal whether there is such a curse?

Wisely, I think this is more of a rumor and malicious speculation in an attempt to throw dirty water on innocent people and ignore the unspeakable impact of this incident. ”

After listening to Richard's words, Napoleon III's doubts were mostly solved, and he didn't believe in such a mysterious thing in the first place, which was simply unbelievable.

So he looked at Cardinal Jean-Noyal and asked reluctantly; "Almighty Heavenly Father testifies, I wonder if there really is a curse in the world that can kill?"

"Your Majesty, that is the realm of God, which is not to be touched, not to be spoken, not to be seen, not to be speculated." Cardinal Jean-Noyal is a veteran of the gods, and when he opens his mouth, he blocks the room for imagination.

He looked at the two emperors in front of him with deep eyes, stretched out his hand and drew a cross in the void and said;

"The whole of Europe, including the British Isles, is a devout believer of God, and the so-called "Oriental mystical curse" is pure speculation.

It is the sacred duty of the defenders of the French and Tang dynasties to unite and use secular power to block the spread of rumors and avoid causing confusion and panic among the Lamb of God.

In the cognition of the Catholic Church

No one can possess such divine power, and if it can be proved that George I died by heaven's curse, it can only be explained by miracles.

And George I, as a blasphemer of imperial power, will forever hang on the pillar of shame in history, awakened, hated, and rejected by the secular kingdom.

Believe me, the ruler of the Kingdom of Denmark would not want to see such a thing happen, and the rumors would soon be stopped in Northern Europe, and then the chaotic German Confederation countries, and no one would want to see it. ”

Cardinal Jean-Noyal has a good point, the so-called European royal family is one family, and they are all relatives from the ancestors, and they are not far apart.

The Archduke Cumberland of Hanover was the fifth uncle of Queen Victoria, while Her Majesty's husband, Prince Albert, was from the German Confederation and was closely related to King Christian IX of Denmark.

Who wants to see George I still be beaten into the ranks of blasphemers after his death, bearing unwarranted infamy?

From the Catholic Church;

I certainly don't want to see "some mysterious curse of the East" spread in an uproar, which greatly threatens the high prestige and unshakable divine power of the Holy See, and must not be taken lightly.

The so-called "Oriental Mysterious Curse" in the rumors can kill people in Europe at will, and the Catholic Church is nothing, what is it that is not a slap in the face?

Both Napoleon III and Richard were gifted and intelligent men, and after the cardinals expressed their attitude, they quickly realized this and made a solemn promise;

Immediately mobilize the power of the world to stop the spread of malicious rumors.

The young Greek king overindulged in lust and died of a horse stroke in an affair for a clear reason.

Of course, there will be a set of high-sounding statements to fool the general public, so as not to cause unnecessary social unrest.

But the European upper class knew what was going on, and the scene was under the close protection of the Greek court guards, the doors and windows were tightly sealed, and nothing suspicious was found except for the underwear and other clothing scattered around.

George I showed no signs of poisoning or violent blows other than bleeding from his nostrils, and his symptoms were very similar to a stroke, that is, bursting blood vessels in extreme excitement, and there was no other explanation.

The message in society was quickly cut off, and the explanation of European public opinion for the sudden and violent death of George I was; "I was seriously ill, and unfortunately I fell ill on the way."

Since George I had just taken over as king of Greece for two years, and he and the queen had not yet come out, Greece was once again out of the throne, and the selection of the new king attracted great attention from European countries, but the impact of this incident was forgotten.

The dead are gone, and it is more important to fight for the Greek throne.

The Kingdom of Denmark is out, there are no more princes in the Christian IX family to compete for the Greek throne, and the idle archdukes and the children of the small royal families of Europe who are still eligible to compete are all in a bloody manner, and most of them are flocking to London.

Others came to Paris or to Austria to enlist the support of the European powers.

The curtain has been lifted on a new battle for the succession, and when it is time to fight for the father, the restlessness of the whole of Europe has risen......
