Chapter 81: The Monarch and the Minister
Watching the little werewolf approaching step by step, Lin's breathing began to become short, Calle didn't expect it, and he didn't expect it, that he was actually deceived by this werewolf!
This werewolf named Alf has very light steps, but there are only two people in this room, he and Lin, even if the little werewolf's footsteps are light, it is like thunder in Lin's ears, deafening, but Lin is powerless about it at all, his body has begun to recover slowly, after being soaked in this wooden barrel, except for the eyeballs, he can't even turn his neck, he can only watch the other party slowly probe the knife into the water, and then shake.
Lin couldn't even perceive his own body, so naturally he couldn't feel the pain, and he didn't even know where the knife fell, there were external injuries on his body, and as soon as he entered the barrel, the potion that was still some colors had some blood, and when Alf put the knife into the water, the color of the water had completely turned scarlet, and looking at the concentration of that color, Lin even thought that his blood had been completely emptied.
As time passed, Lin realized that he was not the most nervous person in the house.
Drops of sweat ran down Alf's cheeks, the drops slid down his chin, but Alf wiped them directly, but the sweat on his face was too much, after stirring in the water for nearly half an hour, Alf finally pulled out the knife dripping with blood from the water, walked to the side and took a few deep breaths, wiped the sweat on his head with a hand towel, looked at Lin with strange eyes, and then smiled bitterly.
"Whether you are a divine envoy or not, my injury can only be suppressed like this now, and my body is okay, but this face is really powerless, I haven't learned this. After saying that, Alf raised the knife in his hand, cleaned it in a basin of water next to him, and said: "I have numbed your perception with a potion, this potion lasts for a long time, so the longer you soak in the water, the longer you sleep, and when you wake up, I think you will be surprised." ”
After speaking, Alf stretched the knife in his hand into the water again, this time Lin was not worried, if it was really bloodletting, then in nearly half an hour, his blood must have been drained, and even if he did not die, he should have fallen into a coma, but until now, he was still very conscious, which proved that the blood on his body was far less than he saw, nor as much as he imagined.
Since this is the case, there is no need to worry, but Lin has a doubt in his heart: the water has become so muddy, how did Alf see his body?
As the time passed, Lin's eyes began to become heavier and heavier, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to see the result, he would probably have fallen asleep, if he guessed correctly, I am afraid that this sleepiness is also because of the effect of this potion.
When Alf rested again, Lin finally couldn't help but close his eyes, since he couldn't die, let Alf toss casually!
Seeing that Lin finally fell asleep, Alf on the side couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his face became relaxed, as if he had put down something in his heart, looking at the knife in his hand, Alf suddenly had a tangled face.
"It's easy to talk about anywhere else, but that place ...... How long should it be? I haven't seen the Divine Envoy yet...... After a long struggle, Alf finally sighed and said to himself: "Since you can't choose it, let's follow the length of the orc that is higher than the orc standard, and if it is longer, it should be...... Well, I heard that the elephant man now has a standard, so let's follow this!"
Letting go of the tangled expression, Alf took another deep breath, carefully lowered the knife into the water, and continued his treatment plan.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
On the main hall, in addition to the cold stone pillars and the smooth bluestone like a mirror, only the fierce flames will change the length of the figure standing in the hall, and in the entire empty hall, only this figure in a pure white robe stands in the center, as if waiting for someone.
In fact, he had been standing here for ten whole days, not eating, drinking, sleeping or speaking, just standing silently, letting the sun and moon alternate, the sky was bright and dark, and he had not eaten or drunk for ten days, and he had not let this old man with a somewhat charred beard fall, and he had not slept or spoken for ten days, nor had he let the only human astrologer on this continent lose a piece of majesty, and the flickering fire made his figure more majestic, and the cold breath showed his unshakable firmness.
He is Brooke, the dean of the Ron Empire Imperial Academy, and he has spent ten days waiting here, and there is only one person waiting here, the powerhouse of the first person in the continent's Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation, and the leader of the Ron Empire, one of the three major empires, His Majesty Carroman Ron.
Ten days ago, Brooke was already standing here, ten days later, Brooke was still standing here, and he hadn't even bothered to move, this was not the longest time Brooke had waited, but the twitching muscles on the old man's face showed that this was probably the most anxious he had.
The door of the main hall is open, this is the only palace in the entire palace that is lit with torches, outside the door, the magic spar used for lighting exudes a soft light outward, illuminating the various passages and corners of the palace, but the door is indeed dark and uncertain, and the fear in people's hearts is magnified, especially in this cold palace, a slight cold wind slowly hangs.
The cold wind slowly blew Brooke's robes, trying to take away the temperature from the thin old man's body, but Brooke showed a smile of peace, raised his head slightly, and looked at the back of the white jade throne that had been empty in front of him, but shrouded in darkness.
The person who has been waiting for ten days has finally given himself a chance!
Carroman Ron, it's finally here.
A long sigh echoed through the hall, and Brooke slowly bent his knees, trying to kneel, but an upward force interrupted his movements, and after the sigh, a low, somewhat hoarse voice came from behind the throne.
"Brooke, I said a long time ago that you have the right to avoid kneeling, and you can't remember how many times you say it, are you really old?"
"The king is above, the etiquette cannot be abolished, between the monarch and the minister, the privilege is in the body, and the old minister is sincerely afraid. After saying that, Brooke knelt down again, and the man behind the throne did not stop him, and when Brooke got up, the voice sounded again.
However, this time, the voice sounded behind Brooke, I don't know when, the lord of this country has actually arrived behind Brooke, "I heard that you have accepted another apprentice?"
Brooke had a slightly surprised look on his face, but his voice returned to the back of the throne again, "And now he's seriously injured, aren't you worried?"
"Everyone has a life, and if you can get it back, you don't have the grace of Lang to waste my knowledge. Brooke's face was already calm, and he paused for a moment to continue: "Your Majesty, you have been away from the country for a long time, do you know that the Kotler Imperial Embassy in our country has been ......" After finishing speaking, a white hand stretched out from behind the throne to interrupt Brooke's words.
Seeing this hand, Brooke knew that His Majesty the Emperor, who couldn't see the real person in front of him, had already known about this matter, and he knew it in detail, and he had assisted the government for so many years, and there was still a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister.
"The affairs of the Kotler Empire are their own family affairs, and we don't need to ask about it, but there is one thing that I am very concerned about, and it ...... It also has to do with you, my dear Master of the Imperial Academy. ”
Brooke couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal, and said in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty, please say, the old minister will definitely not hide it." ”
"I know, that's why I'm curious, why do you pay so much attention to the Gary Empire, and you still have frequent correspondence with Feng Lun, the minister of the Gary Empire, is there anything interesting?"
Brooke listened quietly to what sounded a little joking, but in fact it implied anger, and waited until the voice gradually subsided in the main hall before he spoke slowly and said: "The old minister wants to know about the situation of the Orc Empire, and His Majesty is also very interested. ”
"The battle of Cardan Hills is very exciting, Lord Dean, you are right, I am indeed very interested, especially after the implementation of the curfew in the Beast Emperor City and the capture of many undercover agents of certain forces. ”
The City of the Beast Emperor has a curfew!
Hearing the news, Brooke's face finally changed, and before he could calm down, a voice had already come from behind him, and the cold wind blew, and Brooke's expression froze on his face.
"Brooke, you seem surprised?" the words Brooke said from behind his back, and you seemed surprised that the words had already sounded from behind the throne.
When the voice disappeared, Brooke reacted, lowered his head and said in a slightly frightened tone, "Your Majesty has already been to the Beast Emperor City?"
"Naturally, I won't go, the Beast Emperor is also a Sage-level master after all, if I go, he will definitely be able to sense it, in fact, I have been in the Orc Empire for the past few days, Lord Dean, we are under a lot of pressure!"
Brooke couldn't help but smile when he heard what seemed to be a complaint, it seemed that Karoman had learned about the situation in the Orc Empire and had become vigilant, which was a good thing.
"There is another piece of news that also makes me quite jealous. The fluctuating news rang out in the hall, and Brooke couldn't help but look straight and wait quietly.
But to his surprise, it was indeed a sigh from Caroman, and he didn't know why the emperor sighed, so the dean chose to continue waiting.
"The first time you came to this hall, it was twenty years ago, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Brooke nodded slightly, and continued to wait, he had somewhat guessed the emperor's doubts.
"Remember, what you reported to me, I put you in the Imperial prison for the crime of confusing the people, and you were put to death at a later date. ”
Twenty years ago, there were two people in this hall, but at that time, Brooke was still young, and Carroman was not much older than him, and when he told the results of his divination in the hall, it was the cynicism of the ministers and the judgment of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty. "When I think of the scene at that time, this scene seems to have happened yesterday.
"You said that the demons were going to invade, I didn't believe it for twenty years, but today, I have to believe ......."
Hearing the helplessness in his words, Brooke pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this is the luck of the Empire!"
