Chapter 54: The Uninvited Guest
"Squeak....... The door of the reception room was pushed open, and Duke Simon walked in to see that three men, seven women, and ten people were sitting inside, and when they saw him enter, all the people stood up, and one of them, a young man with red hair and red eyes, saluted and said, "Hello Lord Marquis Simon, I am Andy Moon Victor." ”
Simon returned the salute and said with a smile: "I have long heard of Lord Andy's deeds, and I have always wanted to meet you, the most dazzling star in the continent, and I feel very honored to finally meet you today, by the way, just now I have been crowned a duke by the prince of my country, and I am responsible for all matters related to the crusade against the puppet king." ”
"Then I really want to congratulate Hou ...... Your Excellency the Duke. ”
"Thank you, thank you. ”
After greeting for a while, Andy whispered mysteriously, "Lord Duke, we have some important things to talk to you about. ”
"You're all out of the woods. ”
The maids in the living room rushed out, Andy glanced at the old butler behind Duke Simon, Duke Simon glanced back and said, "Lord Andy don't worry that he is the person I trust the most. ”
Duke Simon said this, Andy was not good at driving people away, and he put his hand back and said, "Lord Duke, let me introduce you, this is Lord Dorid, the fifth bishop of the Ancestral Temple. Andy pointed to a beautiful woman in her twenties in the room.
Toris Schneider, the youngest bishop of the Temple of the Ancestors, ranked fifth among the twelve bishops, with pink hair hanging down behind her like waves, a pair of turquoise eyes revealing a wise light, and a plump figure wrapped in a white robe, although she only sat quietly in a chair, a kind of pressure from the strong and the superior came to her face.
Duke Simon put away his smiling face, tidied up his clothes, bowed respectfully to her, and said, "Believer Simon has seen Lord Bishop. ”
Toris raised her hand and released a zero-level divine technique, the blessing technique, and particles of light appeared out of thin air and fell from the top of Duke Simon's head and submerged into his body, this magic technique is useless, it just makes people feel refreshed, but the effect is gorgeous and the most suitable for preaching.
Duke Simon asked with a reverent face: "Thank you for your blessing, what is the matter with your Excellency Bishop's secret visit this time?"
"That's right. Andy replied for Doris, "Three months ago we wounded St. Francis of the Necromancer in the Kingdom of Higra. Drake, after being injured, Francis absconded all the way back to his lair in the western part of the continent, and we chased all the way and finally determined that his lair was in the territory of the Kadesh Kingdom, but the specific location is still unknown, but the Dark Council, which has a cooperative relationship with Francis, has recently sent a large number of people to the Kadesh Kingdom, and the leaders of these people have had frequent contact with King Kaul, and we suspect that King Kaul may have asked the Dark Council for help in order to consolidate his rule. ”
Duke Simon's heart jumped, this is an important piece of information, the crazy people in the Dark Council are known for their strong fighting and unscrupulous behavior, if Kaul really invited these people, then the life of the southern nobles will not be easy, thinking of this, Duke Simon's cold sweat came down.
Andy continued: "Because the temple can't directly arrest people without evidence, so I hope that Lord Duke can arrange us into your crusade army, if there are really people from the Dark Council participating in your righteous war, we will come forward to deal with it, I don't know if Lord Duke Lu Dao is willing?"
"Yes! Yes!" "Duke Simon was having a headache about how to deal with the madmen of the Dark Council, and now their sworn enemies offered to deal with them and his mind.
After Andy finished speaking, the glamorous bishop also spoke: "Also, according to the information of the temple, the activities of the Southern Dark Council in the Kingdom of Kadesh are very rampant, I hope that Duke Simon can explain to the other nobles and do their best to arrest the people who are secretly preaching in the Dark Council, if you can do it, I will ask His Majesty the Pope to recognize the legitimacy of the throne of Her Majesty the former Queen Riches and declare the throne of Kaul illegal." ”
Duke Simon smiled and hurriedly responded, "I will definitely make it clear to them." ”
Located in a small western country in the remote part of the continent, the power of the temple is not very strong, and it is already a semi-open secret that the nobles here contact and cooperate with the Dark Council, and it seems that the temple wants to use this time to sweep away the power of the Dark Council in Kadesh.
"Also, what happened to the town of Bristol, can the Duke tell us the truth?" asked Andy again.
"I have only heard what happened from the mouth of His Royal Highness the Prince of our country. ”
"So Majesty Rickess is really suffering from madness?"
"Hmm. Duke Simon nodded and said: "Your Majesty and Duke Antonio have a very good relationship, her husband was beheaded in front of his eyes, His Majesty can't accept this blow, he is in a state of confusion all day long, and he can't deal with anything, fortunately, we still have a wise prince." ”
"Shall we meet His Royal Highness the Prince?" Toris said.
"Yes, please wait a moment and ask Your Highness to come over. Duke Simon said to the old butler.
The old housekeeper took the order and left, and after ten minutes, the old housekeeper walked into the living room with Ouyang Yu.
"Choke ......!" Andy subconsciously pulled out his long sword after seeing someone coming.
Ouyang Yu also saw clearly the guest she wanted to meet, she smiled at Andy and said, "I didn't expect to see you here." ”
Duke Simon asked with some confusion, "Your Highness, do you know Lord Andy?"
"Of course. Ouyang Yu nodded and said, "I have known Young Master Andy for a long time, Lord Duke, I have something I want to talk to Young Master Andy, can I avoid it?"
"This ...... Be. Simon hesitated for a moment but still agreed, after all, Ouyang Yu was a prince in terms of identity, and he was just a duke, after all, he obeyed Ouyang Yu.
Duke Simon left the parlor with his butler, and Ouyang Yu smiled at Andy with a noble male etiquette: "Long time no see, Brother Andy." ”
Andy withdrew his sword and frowned and asked, "Why are you here? And what tricks are you playing, prince? Hmph! Unable to inherit your father's rights and fiefdoms, did you reach out to the kingdom of Kadesh? Isn't the queen really crazy, but is controlled by what means you secretly used? ”
Ouyang Yu first waved his hand to Avril on the side, and then said to Andy with a cold eye: "I won't explain anything to you, if you want to see me, just say it, I'm too busy to listen to your nonsense." ”
"You're ......!"
Andy's words were interrupted by Toris, who asked, "Andy, do you know this Prince Andy?"
"Hmph!" Andy said with a sneer, "She's not a prince, the one in front of you is my 'good' sister, a fourteen-year-old magical genius who escaped from marriage, Catherine Moon Victor." ”
"May I ask ...... you?" Ouyang Yu asked as he looked at Toris.
"Pay attention to the wording, this is the Fifth Bishop of the Cult of God, Lord Doriss Schneider. It was one of the two Templars standing behind Toris, dressed in heavy armor.
"Fifth Bishop?!" Ouyang Yu bowed and said, "I feel sorry, my lord. ”
"It doesn't matter. Doris generously forgave Ouyang Yu for his faux pas.
Ouyang Yu straightened up and stared at the face of the Templar Knight who spoke just now, "I think you look familiar, can you laugh?"
Ouyang Yu's words made everyone feel inexplicable, but the paladin still smiled as he said, and a pair of good-looking white teeth seemed to flash a dazzling light.
Seeing the light of his teeth, Ouyang Yu could be sure that she had seen this Templar before, so he stepped forward angrily and slapped him in the face, shouting, "Tell you to touch my ass!"
"When have I touched your ass?" shouted the beaten Templar aggrievedly.
Ouyang Yu pointed to his nose and said: "In an alley in Manuel City, when I was besieged by four big men, you and your companion, who was him, appeared together to 'save' me. ”
"Ah......h
"Hmm!" he immediately realized that something was wrong, and all the women in the room, including his immediate boss Doris, looked at him like pests.
"Vader, what the hell is going on!" asked Toris, holding back her anger.
The handsome Templar named Vader gave a rough account of the events of that day, "I really just accidentally touched it, I swear to the ancestors!"
Toris got up and bowed slightly to Ouyang Yu and said, "I apologize to you on behalf of my subordinates, and I hope Miss Catherine can accept it." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Ouyang bent down and returned the salute.
"Vader, when this matter is over, when you return to the Holy City and lock you up for ten days, are you convinced?"
"I am willing to accept the punishment and apologize to Miss Catherine, I am sorry. Vader said as he bent over his chest with his right hand.
After the farce, Toris got down to business and asked Ouyang Yu what was going on in Bristol Town.
Ouyang Yu said again the set that had already been made up, anyway, most of them were true, only a small part was fake, and they couldn't hear it if they weren't the parties.
After finishing speaking, Ouyang Yu requested: "Lord Bishop, His Majesty Richer is in a very poor spirit now, she can't eat well, she can't sleep, she is in a mess all day long, I'm really worried, I heard that the temple has a magic technique to calm the mind, can you please help take a look at her?"
"Of course, every one of the Lord's people is the one we are helping us, and treating His Majesty Richer is what I should do, and we will go and see it now. Toris said, standing up.
"Great, this way, please. ”
The group left the parlor and headed for the room where Reches was resting.
