Chapter 16: Behind the Conspiracy

Byron and Geraint rushed to the palace. At this moment, in the dim secret room, a familiar black shadow burst out of the Holy Magic Codex.

"I hope your Jihua is foolproof. The dark shadow said, "I've paid a high price for you, Jihua, and I don't want any more variables." ”

"Lord Kaos, Old El was the perfect person to pre-empt my mind control after stealing the Holy Magic Book from the Royal Library. "Because he also loves books on magic, he happened to discover the secret room when I took the Holy Magic Book." In order for him to be able to shut up forever, I chose to directly make him my pawn. ”

"Don't mention this old thing to me. If it weren't for this old guy's aging body, how could I have lost to that guy Byron. Kaos was furious, "I cut off a part of my soul to help you complete the so-called jihua." As a result, they actually sealed it into the fake "Holy Magic Book" that you copied. ”

"Old Al has been a great help to us. The Zuihou sacrifice required for the 'Dark Entanglement' would have been difficult to succeed without the old El. The mystery man smirked.

"Then I'll wait and see, I hope you can give me a satisfactory result. Kaos said, "Part of my soul must be buried with the blood of the Radiant Clan." ”

"If the book is accurate about the 'Dark Entanglement,' my beloved King Bixia may not live to tomorrow. Once he's breathing, we're ready to act. The mysterious man's eyes twinkled.

"Lord Byron, are you in such a hurry to bring me to the palace, is there anything wrong?" Geraint followed Byron to the palace.

"Geraint and I will go to the back garden. Byron took Geraint back into the back garden.

"Lord Byron, why did you bring us here again?" and Gerant, puzzled.

"Have you ever thought about it, Geraint?" said Byron, "it all started when we found the three-headed Cerberus in the back garden, where the king fell ill. Why is this beautiful back garden a source of all disaster?"

"What do you want to say to me, Lord Byron?" asked Geraint.

"Since the back garden is the source of all disasters, the people who single-handedly create these disasters must have something to do with the back garden. Byron analyzed, "In the time after we discovered Cerberus, who were the people who had the most contact with the back garden?"

"We are the only ones who have gone into the back garden the most, except for the King's family, Lord Byron. "Geraint was a little confused.

On the other side of the secret room, Kaos was still talking to the mysterious man: "How did you get the sacrifice of Zuihou from Old El during the time you disappeared?"

"Using the fake Holy Magic Book, of course. The mysterious man laughed, "After killing that girl, Old Al used his magic to absorb the girl's blood into the fake Holy Magic Codex. The Dark Coil only requires its sacrifice, and there is no time requirement for the sacrifice. As long as I, Zuihou, have access to the fake Codex, I will be able to complete the sacrifice of Zuihou. ”

"And that old guy happens to be your scapegoat?" Kaos grinned.

"Old Al was just a pawn in my hand all along. It's just that he stumbled upon the secret room, so he became the object of my trouble. And using the hands of the Golden Dragon Knights to wipe him out is the best ending. The mystery man said.

"You know, it's not about how smart you are. Kaos said to the mystery man in a contemptuous tone, "You just won on Byron's lack of understanding of dark magic, and you have been hiding in the shadows all the time. All they can do is to respond passively, and rarely have the opportunity to take the initiative. ”

"Of course, without your help, King Kaos, my Jihua would not have succeeded at all. The mystery man nodded.

"You just don't forget the agreement we made. Kaos laughed, "Once I can find the right body and come out of the shackles of the Holy Magic Codex, then everything will come to an end." And you will be my most faithful servant, following me to conquer the whole Shijie. ”

"It's enough for me to conquer this shijie. The mysterious man thought to himself, "Tonight is the beginning of my dominance of Shijie." ”

On the other side of the garden, Byron and Geraint were talking about their thoughts.

"How is that possible?" said Geraint, who couldn't believe his ears, "You suspect that he was behind everything?"

"That's right, Kevin will be over later. Byron said firmly, "Then we will check what secrets are still hidden in the garden." ”

"Lord Byron, something is wrong!" Suddenly, a soldier of Byron's Guards rushed in front of Byron.

"Goddess of Light, why are so many people saying the same line to me lately? Byron looked helplessly at the guard in front of him.

"Lord Byron, there are people in the city who have rebelled. The guards looked panicked.

"Who dares to rebel in the Floating City?" shouted Byron.

"I don't know, anyway, a group of people wearing the costumes of our Golden Dragon Knights are massacring royal family members in the city, and some of them have already stormed the palace. The guards said truthfully.

"Byron, I can't think of you...... You're going to ......" At this time, a man covered in blood hurriedly ran forward. When the man ran into the garden and saw Byron, he suddenly looked in a frightened look.

"Duke Lauley, what's wrong with you?" Byron recognized as a member of the royal family and wanted to come up and ask what was going on.

"Byron, you traitor, don't come...... Stay back. Duke Laulet's body kept backing away, looking at Byron with fearful eyes.

"Ahh

"What the hell is going on?" At this time, Byron also heard all kinds of fighting and shouting from outside. Outside the palace, there was a sudden burst of fire, and troops continued to rush into the palace.

"No, Geraint, go and see how His Royal Highness is doing. I'll go to King Bixia at once, and we'll get rid of them quickly, no matter which side the rebels posing as us belong to. Once King Bixia was frightened, the consequences were unimaginable. Byron ordered Geraint to go to the prince's chamber to protect Joshua, while he himself went to the king's chamber and quickly gathered the members of the Golden Dragon Knights to fight the rebels.

"Your jihua has already started, aren't you going to check it out?" Kaos smiled at the mysterious man in the secret room.

"It was just a pre-dinner aperitif, and the main dish is only coming up now. The mystery man smiled and left the chamber.

Inside and outside the palace, shouts of killing came and went, but the rebels never confronted the Golden Dragon Knights, but adopted a roundabout strategy to avoid the Golden Dragon Knights' attacks everywhere.

"How is King Bixia?" Byron rushed into the king's bedchamber and hurriedly asked the chamberlains about the king's current health.

"Lord Byron, how can there be so much movement outside the dormitory?" asked one of the chamberlains.

"You don't have to worry about it so much, just take care of King Bixia. Byron shouted to his chamberlains, and turned to the soldiers of the guard, "Guards, strengthen the defense of the outer area of the king's bedchambers. ”

"Byron...... Are you coming?" Suddenly, King Roy, who heard Byron's shout, made a faint voice and held out his right hand to Byron. In the past few days, the king's health has become worse and worse, and even his strength to speak has disappeared. After seeing Byron tonight, he was able to make a sound again.

"Bixia!" Byron hurriedly returned to the bedside and held the king's hand tightly.

"Byron, I feel like I'm dying!" Roy said as he gasped, "I've had the same nightmare these days that darkness is about to come. You and Geraint must protect Joshua well, for from the day he was born, I felt the characteristics of the Last of the Light in him. The future of the kingdom of Reims is up to you and Joshua. zaijian, my brother!zaijian, my kingdom ......" With that, Roy closed his eyes forever.

"King bixia!" Byron burst into tears.

On the periphery of the palace, the rebels who pretended to be the Golden Dragon Knights had just rounded back to the city wall, only to see a group of men and horses descend from the sky and kill in front of them. The group was each riding a pegasus, led by a blonde man. I saw him swing the sword in his hand and quickly kill several rebels, and then smiled: "The game is on!"
