Chapter 210: Pre-Departure Arrangements
Dectair is clearly caught up in the shackles of victim guilt.
Perhaps, in her opinion, even if her misfortune was caused by Concierber, but leaving the facts aside, is she not wrong?
In any case, her life has become disgraceful after all.
And this is exactly what Jiang Lu can't accept.
This perception is not in line with his core values, so although it is not necessary, he can't help but want to correct such misconceptions.
A bad family, an embarrassing situation, a miserable past, everything, but if the parties cannot change it, then the parties should not bear the corresponding responsibility.
It's like saving food and clothing, people who are reluctant to use more water and electricity, and who have to be careful about the time they spend on air conditioning in summer, and who have no obligation to bear the disaster of global warming and melting glaciers.
So for Jiang Lu, untying Dectiel's knot is secondary, and more importantly, he doesn't like such a false so-called recognition.
It's just that in Dectiel's eyes, Jiang Lu has indeed become her hero.
All the troubles suddenly cleared up.
In its place, there is the venting of long-suppressed resentment.
"I see."
Dectiel's thoughts suddenly came to him:
"Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous that I've punished myself for his faults, or even run away from it, for so many years.
From now on, I will no longer be bothered by these things, but after all, I have royal blood in my veins, and I will do as you say, and help him atone for his sins and save Ulster. ”
The word "help" was bitten very hard by her, and she didn't have to think about it, although Concierber would always be alive in the future, his life should not be too easy.
But
Jiang Lu glanced at Concierge in the corner.
Hawkers, forget it, I'm already crazy anyway.
"In that case, let's go meet someone first." Jiang Lu said.
"Who?"
Inside the royal palace.
Jiang Lu and Dectiel, who had not been to the palace for many years, appeared in front of the court's chief bard, Addison.
But at this time, Addison was still asleep.
"Is it so effective?" Jiang Lu himself muttered in disbelief.
Through the wide dissemination of the Ulster March, the ability of the bard has been strengthened as never before.
Before he met Concierber, he hypnotized the entire palace with the sound of the harp, like a fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty.
No matter how noisy it was outside, the people in the palace slept peacefully.
"How do you wake him up?" Dectair asked.
Jiang Lu thought about it for a while and plucked the strings of the harp with his hand.
After a burst of piano sounds, Addison slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the sleepy-eyed Addison, recalling a few short notes, Dectair asked in surprise, "What kind of music was that?" I suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic. ”
"Apple's default alarm ringtone."
"Huh?"
Jiang Lu waved his hand: "This is not important. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the aged Addison: "Wake up and doze off, and discuss something with you." ”
So, under Addison's confused gaze, Jiang Lu told him everything that had just happened.
Of course, the hidden relationship between Dectair and Concierber is omitted, and only the fact that Concierber betrayed Ulster for his own selfish desires and did not lift the curse for everyone.
This also made Addison's already vague thoughts even more confusing.
Even at his age, he was shocked to see a lot of bizarre.
"The king." Addison paused, then changed his words, "What about Concierge's others?" ”
"Whoa." Jiang Lu Nunu pouted, motioning to Addison to look at the thing he was holding like a rag sack.
In addition to the fact that his head was intact, Concierber was burned all over his body, and his originally muscular and straight body had shrunk a lot.
If it weren't specifically specified, it's hard to see that this could be a person.
"This"
Looking at Concierber's tragic condition, Addison's scalp tingled, and his eyes flashed with a little horror.
It was only because of Dectel standing by his side that he felt a little more at ease, and did not show obvious fear.
He is also very good, he has been in the palace for so many years, and he also knows what to say and what not to say, and he knows how to judge the situation.
It was only after a short trance that he already understood what to do now.
No matter how ruthless and prestigious Concierber was in the past, it was also in the past.
Looking at his current appearance, even if he can still live for the rest of his life, he will be considered a waste, and now standing in front of him is Dectiel, who has a close personal relationship, and Jiang Lu, who seems to have an extraordinary relationship with her, and single-handedly turned Concierber into the Jiang Lu he is today.
Then the situation is already very clear.
Even if you can't get it, this will be your own chance.
An opportunity to no longer just take on the idle role of chief bard!
So without the slightest hesitation, Addison asked directly, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Such decisiveness surprised both Jiang Lu and Dectiel.
Especially Dectiel.
I thought that Addison was just a rigid old man who was about to die, and he took everything as seriously as music, but he didn't expect that he would be so flexible at a critical time.
But this is also in the right place, after all, there is no time to slowly convince him now, and he can have such a response, which really saves a lot of trouble.
So Jiang Lu's attitude towards him couldn't help but change a lot.
At least to put it mildly.
"Yes, the old comrade is very conscious." Jiang Lu smiled and nodded: "It's not a big deal, it's just that now you need to repair the damage caused by divine punishment."
Although there are no casualties for the time being, there is still a lot of damage to the house, and the problem of people's property damage must be counted as soon as possible and corresponding countermeasures should be made.
And as you can see in the current situation, he is definitely no longer suitable to continue to be the king, so in the future, there will be only one king, that is, Queen Dectiel, and this matter also needs you to prepare.
The queen is relatively indifferent on weekdays and doesn't know much about the affairs of the palace, but now she really can't help it, so she has to stand up.
And because she is familiar with you and knows your ability and character, she decided that she wants you to be the new first minister, so she will have to rely on you to worry a lot in the future.
It's also an unavoidable honor to share the worries of Queen Dectiel, I don't think you will refuse, right? ”
"Of course, of course." Addison was overjoyed.
At this time, he nodded and bowed, and it can be said that he was not at all alone from the appearance of glaring at Jiang Lu in the piano room a few days ago.
Facts have proved that there is no one in this world who does not understand the sophistication of human affairs, the difference is only whether the other party wants to engage in these sophistications with you.
"As much as I hate to have such an opportunity," Addison hesitated, "I still want to ask, what about Cúchulain?" Wouldn't he be better suited for the position? ”
"Well," Jiang Lu snorted: "Didn't you just say that because of Concierb's negligence, the entire Ulster was punished by God?"
So he's in some trouble right now because of this, but it's not dangerous for the time being.
Of course, you still need to discuss this matter with him, and if it goes well, when he gets through the difficulties, he will naturally become the next king.
But no matter what, you won't change here, as long as you use the strength you have accumulated in the court over the years and do the things I just told you, you'll be fine. ”
"Okay, okay, I see." When Addison learned that his position was secure, he was finally relieved.
Why couldn't he hear the hidden information hidden in Jiang Lu's words?
If you encounter some trouble for the time being, you must discuss it first
In other words, Cúchulainn does not know about the current ascendancy of Dectiel, and it is still inconclusive whether he can finally achieve the so-called logic.
Everything depends on the face of the young man in front of him.
If Addison loses, he will lose his hand and be born early, otherwise he can see that there is a person named Li Lianying standing behind Jiang Lu.
But it's still the same sentence, Addison knows what to say and what not to say, and he is also very good at judging the situation, and he never asks about things that have nothing to do with him, which is commonly known as never meddling.
Because of this, he was able to live to such a large age and have a reputation of high morality.
So he didn't talk much nonsense at all, and after the conversation was over, he just exchanged a few words with Dectiel, and then he was busy doing what Jiang Lu explained.
Seeing off Addison, Dextell, accompanied by Jiang Lu, walked around the familiar and unfamiliar palace where she grew up, her eyes full of emotion and reminiscence.
It's just that this is bitter Jiang Lu.
One hand dragged the harp, relieving hypnosis everywhere, and the other hand dragged Concierber, like leading a Labrador who was out of the door and was reluctant to walk.
"Let's go meet Setante." Dectiel, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped: "You just said, he should have fooled Addison when he was in trouble, right?" I guess you trapped him in order to prevent him from stopping you from dealing with Concierge, right? ”
"Hmm" Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, and got up: "How can there be such a thing, didn't you say it, God punishes, God punishes." ”
"Huh?" Dextell turned his head and smiled, "What kind of divine punishment will come at this point in time?"
Isn't it because you want to point the finger at Concierge in this way?
Even if he had prestige in the past, because his negligence caused everyone's lives and property to be threatened, no one would be loyal to him anymore, right?
You're paving the way for me, aren't you? ”
Dectel blinked: "I have to say, your strategy and courage are first-class, worthy of being my man, really powerful." ”
What did I actually think so?
Jiang Lu was a little shocked by his foresight.
Although his real thoughts are just to find a reason to kill this spiritual little Nanniang
Looking at Dectiel's eyes again, Jiang Lu couldn't help but sigh a little.
is worthy of the royal family, no matter how weak he behaves, he is not really stupid and sweet after all.
After untying the knot, Dectiel's IQ has risen a lot.
Although it is only Dihua, this kind of thinking is indeed something that Jiang Lu did not expect, and what is even more amazing is that although she believes that this is the truth, she does not have any objections because of Jiang Lu's approach, but is quite praised, indicating that her vision and pattern are not comparable to ordinary people.
After all, the people may be nothing more than Ulster's property in her eyes, a special kind of expendable.
From this point of view, she is already quite a queen.
However, Jiang Lu didn't care about the cold-bloodedness she showed in this regard.
First of all, because the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, he is not qualified to accuse anything of the "divine punishment".
And no matter how cold her blood is, when facing herself, she is also hot.
It's very comfortable.
So Jiang Lu pretended to be melancholy and smiled bitterly: "Have you seen this too?" I hope you don't think I'm a very bad person because of that. ”
"How so?" Hearing Jiang Lu admit it himself, Dectiel, who thought he had seen through everything, couldn't help but be overjoyed, poured into his arms, and said coquettishly as if he was weak and boneless: "It's too late for me to love you~"
Jiang Lu pinched Dectiel's waist and caused a coquettish cry.
"In that case, let's go meet Setante."
"Hmm"
When the two arrived at the small two-story building where Cúchulainn was imprisoned, Cúchulainn was trembling in the corner of the room.
Judging by the damage to the floor and ceiling and walls, it seems that he tried to escape the fire by destroying the places that had not been burned by the fire, but failed.
This is because after many uses, Jiang Lu's control of the Three Flavors True Fire has been very skillful.
It seems that the Three Flavors True Fire only encloses in a circle, but in fact, it is hidden anywhere that is invisible to the naked eye, forming an impermeable barrier.
The most bizarre thing is that the burning of the three-flavor true fire does not destroy the internal structure of the room, but only makes a certain place in the barrier become the source, and uses the fire source in contact with the source as fuel to supply the entire barrier, forming a closed loop.
Although it looks like the house is on fire, what is actually burning down is debris in an alley behind the house.
In this way, Cúchulainn naturally had no escape, and even wanted to wait until the house burned down to get rid of it.
In stark contrast to the trembling Cú Chulainn, there was a calm expression and a vigorous mouth.
She was standing outside the barrier at this time, making inexplicable movements, pretending to be performing a mysterious ritual.
"It's . What's going on? Dectiel was puzzled.
Jiang Lu put his hands behind his back and looked old: "It's a bit difficult to trap him, so a relatively high-end divine punishment is adopted, and it is more troublesome to lift, and it will take a day." ”
Cu Chulainn was about to urge Morrigan to hurry up again, when he suddenly heard two familiar voices outside the window.
As he turned his head mechanically, his expression became more and more frightened.
"Mom?!"
