Chapter 151: The Corpse of the Saint King

Hearing a commotion outside, Geraint grabbed Joshua and pulled him into a corner to cover up the light. "I've got to find a way to stop the Holy Sword Fragments from glowing......," Byron said, and then he tried to suppress the glow emitted by the Holy Sword Fragments when they resonated with his fighting spirit.

However, the Light does not seem to be so easily subdued, and the Light remains. Byron glanced around the wall again, and in addition to the frescoes of the gods, there were silver swords, gray battle axes, and crossbowsβ€”the axes might not be wielded, and the swords might not be suitable, only the crossbow would be suitable. He walked over and removed his weapon, and took a leather quiver full of arrows from beside him.

"Do you want to shoot the source of light with a crossbow?" asked Joshua curiously.

Byron stepped on the stirrup with his foot, drew the bowstring, and set up an arrow. "Your imagination is rich, my dear King. Geraint said to him, "If the source of the Light could be extinguished, the Light Enchantment would have been useless for a long time. Lord Byron, of course, was prepared for him to deal with the soldiers who came in. ”

They paced to the door, slowly pressed their ears to the edge of the window, and listened carefully for a moment to what the guards were doing next. The pale yellow light of the source of light illuminates the empty hall. The light flickered, and Byron and the others were prostrate under the window, his cross bow pressed against his thigh.

When Joshua found himself away from the source of the Light, the light of the fragments began to dim, and he tried to suppress the Light using Byron's methods.

More than a dozen guards gathered outside the gate of the Holy Light Temple, "Shall we go in and have a look?" ”

"Are you crazy," one of the soldiers suddenly shouted, "don't you know the rules of the Order? ”

"But if something happens inside, the Prime Minister will definitely make us move. ”

"What a fool," said another soldier, "we should have done nothing to happen." Even if something happens, we don't know what's going on. Who told us not to enter the main hall on our own?"

"Then everyone has to swear, how?"

"Sounds ridiculous. But we should do swear to the gods together. ”

"Well, no one can tell you about the strange state of the Holy Light Hall tonight. Whoever divulges this secret will be punished by the gods. I'm thinking, it's so chaotic right now. First the Holy King was murdered, then there was a farce between the major knights, and now even the king has been kidnapped, and we can only become cannon fodder. ”

"Do you think Lord Byron is a murderer? ”

"Who knows, the Prime Minister is sure that it is him, and his subordinates have betrayed him?"

"You mean Lord Burton?"

Giant Bolton is now the titular head of the Golden Dragon Knights. "Of course, it is also possible that there is some kind of deal between Lord Bolton and His Excellency the Prime Minister. ”

"Oh, it should be that as long as Lord Byron is pointed out as the murderer, he will lead the Golden Dragon Knights. ”

Hearing these words, Geraint half-crouched down and glanced at Byron, and whispered, "I think so, too! Bolton, who is older than you, finally chose to betray in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Byron pursed his lips, "Maybe, I didn't expect him to end up betraying usβ€”but maybe when it comes to life and death, some people's hearts will be shaken." ”

"Burton, he still underestimates us too much. Geraint laughed, "You think we're going to die with us?"

Byron tightened his fingers and put the crossbow away. At this time, the light of the fragments of the holy sword on Joshua's body seemed to fade as well. "What happened?" said Gerant, incredulously, "what did you do just now while we were eavesdropping on the guards, Your Majesty?"

"Uh...... Belch...... It's nothing...... Just following Lord Byron's example just now, he suppressed the holy light with his fighting spirit. ”

"Goddess of Light, what other abilities do you have that we don't know about, Your Majesty?" Gerante became even more surprised, even Byron's golden knight-level fighting spirit was unsuccessful, but Joshua did it.

"It seems that His Majesty the King really isβ€”" Byron seemed calm, "just like my brother Roy, the Holy King." ”

"What is the same?" asked Geraint, curious.

"His Majesty the King is also a Descendant of Radiance...... Byron looked at Joshua, "the Radiant Clan who helped the gods of the heavenly realm and led humanity to defeat the Dark Race and establish the Kingdom of Reims in the Great War of the Holy Demons in ancient times. It's just that after the people of the Radiant Clan and ordinary humans are combined, the bloodline becomes rarer and rarer with the passage of time. Even the royal family members of the Kingdom of Reims are keeping this bloodline less and less. None of our generation, except for the Holy King, don't have the bloodline of the Descendants of Radiance, including me. ”

"But in addition to the members of the royal family, there should be some other descendants of the Radiant Clan scattered on the continent of Gaia, right? After all, after the war, not everyone chose to become princes and nobles, and there are also some people who like to live a free life, right?"

"Perhaps!" Byron sighed.

Moonlight poured in through the narrow windows, leaving golden streaks on the marble floor of the main hall. "You see that the light in the hall has dimmed, and nothing should happen. Maybe it's the source of light that screams for the kingdom's calamity!" said one of the soldiers. Soon, these soldiers gathered in front of the main hall, you and I discussed a few words and then slowly dispersed. Geraint quietly opened a gap in the door of the Holy Light and looked outside.

"Hurry! Get out of here while these soldiers are at the end of the sentry. Byron patted Geraint on the shoulder.

The three of them left the Basilica of Light lightly and made their way to their destination. Soon they came to the bottom of a stone tower in the palace, which was the Prime Minister's Tower in the inner courtyard of the palace. The three of them found a bush and hid in it to observe the situation around the Prime Minister's Tower.

Four black-robed and silver-helmeted guards stood guard in front of the Prime Minister's Tower. "I remember that the king's body was hidden in the basement of the Prime Minister's Tower. Byron whispered. Apparently Parsa felt that it was safest to place the king's body in the Prime Minister's Tower. After all, under the pressure of the royal family, as long as the murderer is not apprehended for a day, the king's body cannot be buried.

There was a slight smoke from torches inside the tower, and in addition to the four guards, there were some patrolling soldiers patrolling the neighborhood. It was the middle of the night, and the palace was quiet, except for the sound of the heels of the patrolling soldiers rubbing against the stone slabs. Now that the weather has become colder, there might still be some moths that would be wild and helpless flapping around the lamp, trying to get in. But there is only one end - to throw yourself into the flames and turn to ashes. Byron gasped, wondering if their fate would be the same as that of the moths.

The Prime Minister's Tower is also surrounded by a spiral of staircases, and there are also two black-robed guards walking back and forth on it. "It seems that the Prime Minister's Tower is very well defended, and we have to find a way not to be discovered. Geraint whispered, "If only there were secret passages here!"

"I don't know if there is a secret passage, but I know very well where the basement of the Prime Minister's Tower is. After all, the former prime minister was also a member of our royal family. Byron said, "Also, I kept a hand and asked Jona for another magic potion. As he spoke, Byron pulled out a linen bag from his bosom.

"Lord Ruona has a lot of treasures. Geraint laughed.

"You try it first!" Byron opened his pocket and shook it towards Geraint's head, and a sparkling white light shrouded Geraint. Soon, he disappeared without a trace.

"It was such a funny trick that Uncle Geraint disappeared all at once. Joshua laughed.

"Oops, it turned out to be Ruona's invisible magic. That's great!"

"Only people who have also cast invisible magic can see each other. Byron sprinkled the potion on himself and Joshua again, "But you must be careful, if you run into someone else who is not invisible during this time, the magic will fail." ”

Byron led everyone to the Prime Minister's Tower through the window hole through the stairs outside the stone tower. After all, even if you make yourself invisible, opening and closing the door so obviously will still attract the attention of the guards.

"Very well, the guards in the tower are dozing off. Byron looked at the two guards who were sleeping on the ground in the basement doorway, with their backs to the wall, and pushed the door open as he spoke.

A cold corpse lay quietly on the stone bed in the center of the basement, and it came into everyone's eyes.
