189 The covenant of alliance of Karl III
In the middle of the night, after a sea of fire filled the entire Colosseum, the insect master won the victory without surprise.
In the battle after that, there was no such powerful magical beast as the Moon Demon Hunting Spider, so in the life-and-death battle behind, fewer and fewer people visited, and the Colosseum also suspended tonight's game.
The spectators who came to watch the game left here one after another, and most of the orcs who participated in the competition were slaves of the Colosseum and could not leave at all, and only one of them was an exception, that is, the insect master;
"Insect Master, well done, that stupid boy from Koda still wants me to make a fool of myself, and he doesn't look at the territory in this world, just his mallet, and he still wants to win me!"
At this time, a burly man with a big gold tooth in his mouth, he was the owner of the Colosseum, Lao Jin, stood in front of the insect master, they seemed to be waiting for something, and they had been talking.
"Boss Jin, you're polite, I'm just doing what I can do, I don't know what we agreed before?"
"Oh, by the way, and this stubble, look at me, I've almost forgotten it, come on, bring those dead orc girls, little cubs, all here. ”
As Jin Jin's words fell, a group of women and orcs and teenagers and children came out of the shadows, and these teams were driven to the front of Jin Lao.
Looking at the crowd, a look of surprise appeared on the insect master's face, because there seemed to be a lot of orcs here.
"Boss Jin, it seems that there are a lot of them this time, right?"
"Hehe, insect master, for so many years, you have been in my Colosseum in a life-and-death race, but you have taken away a single source stone, and often take away the families of those orcs who have failed to challenge. ”
"Is there any problem? Or does Boss Jin want to go back?"
"No, no, no, I don't have any intention of interfering in what you want to do, you did me a great favor today, these orcs staying here are just a waste of my food, it is better to give it to you, just take a personal favor." ”
"In that case, then I'll thank Boss Jin, and I'll take these orcs away. ”
"Please, don't forget the time of your next visit. ”
After the two exchanged pleasantries, the insect master left with this group of orcs, and just after the insect master left, a figure appeared next to Lao Jin, who was Lao Jin's guard;
"Master, you really don't need to investigate him, over the years, he has taken a lot of orcs from us, but the number of half-orcs in the slums is far less. ”
"Don't be troubled, the insect master is not as simple as you think, the reason why I gave him so many orcs today, do you think it is really because he helped me win the game?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not! I did this because someone from above arranged for me to do this, otherwise you think I would let go of so much oil and water so easily?"
"Ahh......h
"Okay, don't guess, just think about yourself, you don't have to worry about the rest. ”
"Understood. ”
............................................................
The insect master took these orcs back to his residence, which is the slum, which is also the gathering place of the orcs in the entire royal capital of the Federation.
Although it was already the middle of the night, when he came back, there were still many orcs who came out to greet him, these people were half-orcs, some of them were brought back from the Colosseum by the insect master in recent years, and more of them were soldiers who came here with him at the beginning;
"My lord, is the Colosseum very dangerous this time?"
"It's okay, it's just that the conflict between those human nobles has made today's battle a little difficult, but fortunately, my strength is a little stronger. ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
"Well, Quinn, I'll leave the rest to you, I have more important things. ”
"Understood, my lord, go quickly!"
After instructing Quinn to take care of and settle the new orc team, the insect master came to the highest place in the slum area, which was a bell tower, but too much time had passed, and this bell tower had long since become dilapidated, and even the bell inside could not be runged.
"It's time for those people to go back to their families!"
Feeling the wind blowing through the night, the insect master took off his clothes, although he was a half-orc, the appearance of the insect master was actually no different from ordinary people, just a little sloppy;
But when he took off his clothes, he could be sure that he was a half-orc, because his body was covered with pale yellow fluff, which fluttered in the wind when the night breeze blew;
After the wind blew away the fluff, the insect master closed his eyes, and his consciousness also drifted with these pale yellow fluffs with the wind, and soon drifted to the various families in the royal capital.
This is the method of gathering information for the insect master, the insect master is just his code name, the code name that has always been used in the Holy Kingdom, and he has another code name - number nine.
made full use of this way, collected a lot of news for the empire, and also sent away a lot of orcs, the fluff on his body to transmit news is, it is a way to use talent, in fact, the most important thing is the flying insect monster;
The flying insect monster has always been very small, and when the insect master controlled the giant winged white-veined moth tonight, the insect master scattered these flying insects everywhere in the Colosseum;
Although the Colosseum was full of enchantments, after every battle, Seamus and the other defenders would come in and clean up, and the insect master also seized the opportunity to send these flying insects and monsters to the surrounding audience;
And this time, his main target is Korda Blank.
After a brief lull, the insect master slowly heard some voices in his head, it was Cork Blank, who was smashing things everywhere at this time, and seemed to be very angry because of the loss in tonight's game;
It was at this time that the insect master heard the voices of the others;
"Little master, don't lose your temper, Lord Duke will let you go!"
"Grandpa, it's so late, hasn't Grandpa rested yet?"
"Yes, after the Duke came back tonight, he summoned all the Earls, as well as the eldest young master and the second young master, you came back the latest, so the Duke has been waiting for you in the room. ”
"Why didn't you take you to inform me earlier, let grandpa wait for so long, there must be no good fruit to eat. ”
In the midst of the complaints, Korda walked out of the door and walked towards Cork's study, and on the other side, when the insect master heard the news about Cork, he realized that he might learn more important things about the Holy Kingdom from here;
So all the spiritual power was concentrated on Koda's flying insects, and then the voice that came back was clearer.
"Grandpa, I'm back. ”
"Oh, Xiaoda is back, I thought you were going to spend the night out again tonight!"
"Grandpa, you're kidding, I just went to play for the first time, and I came back immediately after playing. ”
"Hmph, after playing for a while, I think you came back because you lost everything!"
"Uh, grandpa, you know everything, huh?"
"You, you, none of you are fighting, I really don't know how you will support our Blanc family's position in the kingdom and even in the federation when I die. ”
"Grandpa~, don't be angry, your old body can last for decades! Isn't there that blood essence recently, as long as Grandpa uses it a few more times, I believe you can live longer." ”
"Haha, stinky boy, what you say makes me happy, but you also know the blood essence, so you must know where this thing came from, right?"
"Didn't you say that those orcs engaged in alchemy, and then stuffed it into the demonic beasts to cultivate, I heard that the rock city was attacked because of those demonic beasts!"
When he heard this, the insect master was speechless at this Koda, this was obviously a fake news, as the young master of the Blanc family, he would actually believe this;
Sure enough, even Cork was speechless and knocked directly at Koda;
"Don't be with your fox friends and dogs, these fake news, you still think it's true!"
"Grandpa, you start with a light, if this is not true, where did those blood essences come from?"
"Although the news you heard is false, one thing is true, these blood spirits have a lot to do with those orcs. ”
"I'll just say, by the way, grandpa, didn't I hear that our army is going to attack that orc empire? Why hasn't there been any news after so long?"
"Alas~ The army we sent out failed, if we hadn't suppressed the news, it is estimated that the kingdom would have exploded long ago!"
"What, are those half-orcs that powerful? I went to watch the beast fighting competition today, and the monster I brought with me didn't know how many half-orcs I killed, but unfortunately I still didn't kill the insect master. ”
"The orcs you usually see, in those orc tribes, are not even the most basic warriors, but I don't worry about this, I came to you today to tell you that I have been at home recently. ”
"Ah, grandpa, isn't it, I've been very well-behaved lately, I haven't caused any trouble, why do you want to lock me up again! Also, I don't know what Federation coins have popped up recently, and my source stones are worthless!"
Cork didn't interrupt him as Korda babbled, and then sighed;
"Xiaoda, you must know that although this holy kingdom is under the control of your grandfather, in the hearts of the people of the holy kingdom, the rulers will always be only the Houston family, and only His Majesty the King!"
"Grandpa, I know all this, why did you suddenly talk to me about this today?"
"Because it won't be long before something happens in the Holy Kingdom that it was the same thing that happened forty years ago. ”
"Ahh......h
"Yes, so in the next period of time, that guy will definitely fight back before he dies, and we still have to avoid it during this time, this Federation Coin is the first counterattack he makes. ”
"So that's the case, I understand, grandpa, in the next period of time, I will definitely control myself. ”
"Well, Xiaoda, don't worry too much, wait a few days, that kid from Lott will be caught, then I believe that Karl III will be stable, and everything will be back on track after that. ”
Another whirlwind blew, the insect master's spirit was a little sluggish, and after a long period of spiritual eavesdropping, his spiritual power reached the end of his mental power, and like magic, after the lack of spiritual power, the talent could not continue.
The insect master sat on the top of the bell tower and slowly opened his eyes, the original blue-gray pupils were now a little gray, but the insect master didn't pay attention to it, after all, his talent was not ordinarily damaging to the body;
At this time, the insect master was thinking about this very important question in his mind, through the eavesdropping just now, he already knew that the current Holy Kingdom had suffered a great change, which was not good news for the Scarlet Empire;
After all, a king who is about to die, after being manipulated all his life, will inevitably do very extreme things at this time, because of impulse.
Regarding these news, the insect master knew very well in his heart that he had to pass it on to the Scarlet Empire immediately, and not long ago, after the Scarlet Empire issued a declaration of war, it won the first round very easily;
The empire must be very relaxed at this time, but the insect master who has been living in the human camp knows that the strength of the Holy Kingdom is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"It seems that the next entry and exit of the royal capital will definitely be very strict, and if you want to pass the news to the marshal, my identity is too obvious. ”
"I can help you!"
"How can I help?"
Just as the insect master was thinking about how to deliver the news, suddenly an old man's voice appeared next to him, very close to the fullness.
Turning his head to look, the insect master saw an old man in armor, at this time he was floating in the air, looking at the insect master, although the smile was very kind, but in the eyes of the insect master, it was extremely terrifying;
Although the insect master is not the strongest among the orcs, this does not mean that he is very weak, the insect master is not a warrior, but a sacrifice, a sacrifice that can resist insects;
There are many similarities between the sacrifice and the magician, the most obvious of which is that both rely very much on spiritual power, and the realm of the insect master is also the level of a fifth-level magician among magicians;
But even if he is like this, he actually finds nothing when others come to him, there are only two possibilities, one is that the other party's strength is too much stronger than himself, and he can ignore the spiritual protection barrier to approach him;
And the other reason is that the other party has no power in his body at all, just an ordinary person, and the spiritual protection directly ignores his existence, but looking at the shining armor on the old man's body;
The insect master thought that he was killing himself, and he couldn't believe that the old man on the other side was an ordinary person.
And just when the insect master was on full alert, the old man in the armor flying in mid-air fell, and at the same time, the armor on his body gradually dimmed, and there was no previous miraculous performance.
"I'm sorry, I didn't say hello in advance, I'm sorry, but please understand, after all, I don't have much time left, and those cumbersome etiquettes will not be carried out one by one. ”
"Who the hell are you, and how did you get here?"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce, I was imprisoned in the castle for a long time, I forgot what I looked like and not many people knew, hello, I am the king of the Holy Kingdom - Carl III Gaia Houston!"
When Karl III said his name, the insect master also noticed that Karl III was wearing armor, which was engraved with a special pattern, which he remembered seeing somewhere;
"It's the proclamation! That's the pattern on the paper. ”
At that time, he also asked the people next to him about this pattern, and said that this pattern was for the exclusive use of the royal family, and if others used it privately, they would be punished if they were discovered.
After examining it, the insect master asked uncertainly;
"If you were His Majesty Karl III and came here late at night, weren't you afraid that I would kill you?"
"Hahaha, young man, don't be so fierce, there is no grudge between us, why would you kill me as soon as we met?"
"No grudges, do you know what this place is?"
"Here, although this is my first time here, I have heard the ministers mention that this is the fringe of the royal capital, and the people who live here are basically poor people who cannot make ends meet, and there are ......."
Seeing that Karl III did not continue, the insect master laughed, and he continued;
"And orcs like this, right!"
"I'm sorry, but it's my incompetence that has caused you and your people to suffer such unfair treatment here. ”
"So you now believe that I could have killed you, right?"
Karl III did not answer, he walked to the edge of the bell tower, where he could clearly see the condition of the orcs around him, the dilapidated houses, which looked like they were about to collapse at any moment;
The sturdy orcs sat around a campfire with a fairly intact pot of soup boiling but nothing gushing out.
"I'm here to solve these things. ”
"What?" Hearing Karl III's words, the insect master was a little puzzled;
"You should have learned about the current situation of the Holy Kingdom through your own means, right?"
The insect master did not answer him, and if the information he knew was correct, then Karl III should be seriously ill in bed at this time, and not appear in front of him
Karl III waited for a while, and seeing that the insect master did not answer himself, he was not annoyed, but continued to speak;
"The information you have learned is correct, I really don't have much time left, and the forces led by Cork have plotted to kill my father and control me when I was young;
When I was a child, I was given the Flower of the Other Side, a puppet flower, and I was controlled as a puppet for forty years, and now my life is coming to an end, and I am temporarily out of their control;
But for me, it's too late, but I still have hope, that is, my heir, and my best son, and this time I came to you to make a deal with you, with Christos Arthur behind you, with the Scarlet Empire. ”
"Deal?"
After hearing Karl III recount his situation, the insect master was already convinced that Karl III had indeed come to make a deal with himself, nay, with His Majesty Christos Arthur;
"Yes, I've been doing a lot of trades lately, and there are fair and unfair ones, it doesn't matter, because with every trade, I get what I want. ”
"So, Holy King, His Majesty Karl III, I don't know what deal you want to make?"
"I want to restart the federal compact. ”
"Federal Compact? You want to rebuild the Federation!!"
"It seems that it is not unreasonable for Christos to send you to the royal capital, in this era, there are not many people who can know about the federal contract. ”
Karl III, who had said this, slowly took out an iron plate from his bosom, which was rusty, and a rotten, tattered breath came from it;
When the insect master saw the iron plate, his eyes widened, and his eyes revealed disbelief;
"Looks like you know what it is!"
"If what you say is true, then the one you are taking out now is the legendary creation artifact - the Soul Divine Artifact!"
Karl III slowly stroked the iron plate, in addition to the rust, there were several grooves on it, as if something needed to be put in, and after looking at it, he threw it directly to the insect master;
Just seeing the legendary artifact, the insect master was still in shock, when the iron plate was thrown over, he didn't react yet, until it hit him, he hurriedly held it in his arms.
"............ this?"
"This thing will be kept by you, and then you don't have to stay here in the royal capital, you should know the importance of this thing, I know Christos Arthur, he will definitely not be as simple as just a place to live. ”
"I don't know what the marshal thinks, after all, I have been here in the royal capital for a long time. ”
"Hehe, no matter what he thinks, as long as you agree to my request, I can tell you how to open the Soul Divine Examination. ”
"I can't guarantee your request, because I'm just a small soldier under the marshal, and my task is to at least deliver the message. ”
"He'll agree, and I'm sure he'll have to take this step if he wants to build the world in his heart, because the world isn't what it used to be. ”
"What...... What do you mean?"
After the insect master put away the Soul Divine Examination, he suddenly heard the last words of Karl III, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
"Nothing? You show it to Christos. If he agrees, then he will be given the means to open the Divine Vision, and if he does not agree, then nothing will happen tonight. ”
"I can bring you a message to the marshal, but I'm worried about ......"
"Rest assured, no one will stop you tomorrow, for I will send my royal escort to take you out of the city, but after you get out of the city, it's up to you. ”
"As long as I leave the royal capital, I will definitely bring the news back to the empire!"
