Chapter 389: Baron West's Great Plan
When the Lich King and several skeleton archmages joined the battle, this originally one-sided battle lost its last suspense, in fact, before Lin Kaiping finished smoking half a cigar, the lightning shining in the black stone house suddenly stopped, leaving only a roar full of unwillingness, still floating over the castle.
"So, it's settled!" After a few minutes, Hilton walked out of the black stone house lightly, and began to direct the armed soldiers to search the entire castle, transporting all the items related to the Bloodstreaked Priests back to Cold Stone City, trying to find more clues about the Bloodstreaked Priests.
In the next few days, according to a detailed record in a secret book, the city defense army, under the command of Prime Minister Hilton, successively attacked several strongholds in the city, wiped out the remnants of the blood-streaked priests, and even found their correspondence with Empress Gianna, which was enough to make the Empress Xià full of fear and dare not act rashly.
However, it is a pity that in these several days of searching, I did not find the majesty that the old man said, so it seems that this so-called majesty is indeed not in the Cold Stone Empire, but far away in the unknown blood-colored sea, but now the question is, where is the blood-colored sea?
In fact, in order to find out about this matter, Prime Minister Hilton even summoned some of the most famous scholars in Cold Rock City, but these scholars answered exactly the same, according to them, there is no blood sea in the world of Contens, unless it is a half-plane......
Well, at this time, Prime Minister Hilton can only temporarily and helplessly give up the investigation, anyway, at least from the current situation, the power of the Blood Pattern Priest in the Cold Stone Empire has been uprooted, and by the time the so-called Majesty Xià learns the news, maybe the Cold Stone Empire has already changed owners. It's enough to suppress his stirring.
"So, I think what we have to do next is to persuade the emperor to officially abdicate. At the dinner a few days later, Prime Minister Hilton leisurely held a red wine glass and looked at the nobles around him who represented the ruling class of the Cold Stone Empire, "So, gentlemen, who is for and against?"
Obviously, in this case, only people with water in their brains will object to mentioning yì. So before Hilton could ask a second time, the nobles who had already supported him nodded one after another, and the remaining nobles all turned their heads and looked at the Duke of Turan who they regarded as the leader.
At this moment, time seemed to have suddenly become very long, but just as everyone was looking forward to it, the Duke of Turan, who was slightly groaning, suddenly raised his red wine glass and touched it lightly with Prime Minister Hilton: "Prime Minister." I think from now on, we should call you Majesty Xià instead......"
Very well, this is the perfect ending for everyone, and all the nobles present breathe a sigh of relief. They toasted each other with heartfelt smiles, and as for the next topic, it turned to how the interests of everyone present should be guaranteed and distributed after Prime Minister Hilton became emperor.
Soon. After a night of heated bickering and reasonable compromise, by the time the sun rose the next morning, the nobles who came out of the prime minister's mansion were all smiling with satisfaction. Although their eyes were bloodshot because they stayed up all night, they were in good spirits, and immediately returned to their families and used their strength to begin to pave the way for Prime Minister Hilton's usurpation plan.
Half a month later, the army guarding the imperial capital of Cold Stone City gradually swore allegiance to Prime Minister Hilton under coercion and temptation, and a month later, the palace guards of Tyrant III and Empress Gianna were also replaced by a group of generals loyal to Prime Minister Hilton, and two months later, even the chamberlain in the palace was replaced by a big purge, in this case, even if Empress Gianna just drank a cup of coffee in the early morning, half an hour later, the news would be transmitted to Prime Minister Hilton's mansion.
Yes, this qiē came so naturally, and everyone understood by this moment that it was only a matter of time before Prime Minister Hilton ascended to the throne of the emperor, and in fact he did not let those loyalists wait too long, and announced at the banquet that he would personally go to the palace next month to talk to the two honorary supreme rulers about their life ideals.
Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with Lin Taiping, who has been staying at Cambridge University with the dark creatures for the past few months in Cold Rock City, concentrating on teaching and preparing for the first final exam.
"Wait, why do we have to take the final exams?" Baron West and his fox friends protested, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with the upcoming exams, and protesting in righteous words, "Listen, at this time when the Empire is about to usher in a new era, we, as part of the Empire, should contribute to the prosperity and development of the Empire......
"No problem, but before you do, you'll have to pass the test. Lin Taiping wiped his eyes with emotion, thought about it and added kindly, "By the way, I almost forgot, after the final exam next week, we will send the transcript to your home as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this terrible news, Baron West and his fox friends couldn't help but burst into tears, so from the next day, the atmosphere in the university suddenly became very frenetic, according to the grapevine, the magic copy shop attached to the university has suddenly become very good, and the number of students who come to copy exam notes has simply increased exponentially.
In fact, Lin Taiping was thinking about whether he should mark another exam focus or something, but he was destined to have no chance to do so, because on this afternoon, the envoy sent by Prime Minister Hilton hurried to Cambridge University and invited Lin Taiping to the palace for discussion, which obviously means that the Prime Minister's final palace forcing operation is about to begin.
"Alright, let's go join in the fun. Lin Taiping happily agreed, and took almost all the dark creatures with him when he set off, as the so-called careful sailing of the Ten Thousand Year Ship, although the entire empire is now under the control of Prime Minister Hilton, but who can guarantee that there will be no accidents, as the so-called safety first.
An hour later, the dark creatures with excited faces gathered and drove towards the palace in a big way, Baron West and his fox friends also wanted to watch, but they were ruthlessly suppressed again, the reason is very simple, tomorrow's magic class exam will be changed from open book to closed book, if you still want to figure it out. You'd better sharpen my gun tonight.
"There is no heavenly reason, there is no heavenly reason, there is no heavenly reason, why can't we go to see the excitement together?" Seeing Lin Taiping and the dark creatures disappear into the distance, hundreds of aristocratic students waved their fists angrily in protest, but only a few minutes later, when he noticed that there were no dark elf assassins lurking around, Baron West, who was originally crying and mournful, suddenly showed a strange smile and looked at a few fox friends beside him.
"No problem, we've been ready for a long time. Knowing what he wanted to ask, the fox friends all smiled weirdly. One of the fat men rubbed his hands and said triumphantly, "Hehe, after my careful inquiry in the past few days, I have found the location of the test paper library, and that Oriental man is really very insidious, and he actually hid the test paper in the utility room." ”
Well done!Baron West gave a thumbs up appreciatively, and looked at the other guy next to him, who immediately puffed out his chest with confidence. With a fierce face, he said: "No problem, I found an alchemy formula for a high-explosive magic crystal from Teacher Zhu Yinsitan's alchemy room, and after this period of time, we have worked hard and dangerous to do it." Hundreds of high-explosive magic crystals have been refined...... By the way, the cost of refining this time should be shared equally by everyone!"
How cheesy it is to talk about money, a large group of nobles all looked up at the sky as if nothing happened. However, Baron West was quite kind, and coughed lightly and said, "No problem, no problem." All of our pocket money for the next three months is yours...... Hmm, but are you sure that the explosive power of that high-explosive magic crystal is really powerful?"
"It's not powerful, it's extremely powerful!" The guy who studied the high-explosive magic crystal had a flushed face, as if he remembered the scene when he was in practice a few days ago, and couldn't help but shudder, "Let's put it this way, what defensive magic array, what steel facility, as long as we stuff hundreds of high-explosive magic crystals into it, we are guaranteed to bombard them all into pieces!"
"yes, that's awesome!" a large group of aristocratic students all smiled, so that if we just managed to sneak into that library and stuff the high-explosive magic crystal inside, we could blast the entire library of test papers with all the damn papers left.
Then, since the exam papers are gone, we can postpone our final exams...... What, you ask that Oriental if he will doubt us? Doubt let him doubt, as long as there is no evidence, he can doubt as much as he wants, and we won't admit it anyway.
"That's right, we haven't done anything!" Thinking of the scene of not having to take the exam, a large group of aristocratic students all laughed weirdly, just happy and happy, but a few of them still hesitated, and couldn't help but remind, "But, but how are we going to get close to the test paper library quietly? And what if this is a trap, and when we are about to blow up the test paper library, the orientals and dark creatures are back?"
"Don't worry, I deliberately stole a few high-level stealth scrolls from my dad to make sure that no one can spot us. Baron West looked up triumphantly, thought for a moment and took out a silver-white beetle from his bosom, "As for whether this is a trap or not, will those sinister fellows suddenly come back...... Aha, don't worry, I already put this scout beetle on that stupid minotaur patriarch!"
After a moment of stunnedness, the aristocratic students present suddenly all cheered collectively, rushed up and gave Baron West a warm hug, "Well done, West, well done, at least that Oriental man is right, you are really a genius in doing bad things!"
"Nonsense, I'm a genius!" Baron West patted his chest triumphantly, looking at the whole box of high-explosive magic crystals in front of him, and then at the silver-white scout beetle in his hand, he waved his hand confidently, and gave an order like a general-
"Now, right to the table, in two hours we gathered in the school square, and then ...... Hmph, I want that sinister Oriental to know what it means that where there is oppression, there is resistance!" (To be continued......)
