Chapter 34: Infiltrating the Palace
Soon after Pete went out, he returned.
"Edward is going to take the throne at the palace today. The time was in the afternoon, and he was supposed to ask the old king Wilhelm Chan to give up the throne with him. Presumably, the king did not know that Freud was dead. ”
"I don't think we have a lot of time to prepare. We're about to go. Pete continued.
Chloe said that she must also participate in this operation, and Johnson had to nod helplessly.
The entrance to the underground passage into the palace is even more hidden, and it is actually located in a cemetery of the military cemetery in the city, and you can go to the underground of the cemetery. Johnson made his way to the innermost tomb. As soon as you force it open, it opens a door. As soon as the door opened, a strong musty smell came over the pavement.
"It seems like no one has walked through this passage for years. Johnson said.
"I'm afraid it's because most of the people who know that this passage is dead. Pete continued.
Johnson didn't think about it, so he was the first to enter. The passage was obviously larger than the one in the underground prison, but it was still possible to tell that it was made by the same person.
Not long after the group walked through the passage, Johnson slowed down. Everyone hurriedly slowed down. It was clearly close, and in some places the ground could still be heard. This should have a vent in the garden. Because everyone could hear the chirping of the birdmen outside.
At this time, I only heard someone on the ground roaring loudly.
"This dead old man, at this time, still refuses to pass the throne to me?Does he have to wait for Freud?
"Your Royal Highness the Regent, why don't we show Floyd's body to the King, or maybe he will die. Someone on the side suggested.
"No, if he had known that Floyd had been killed by me, he would have passed on the throne to Fihrin rather than to me. Edward continued.
"Shall we say that the man was killed by Duke Filin?" the man then said.
"No way, what kind of person is my Uncle Filin, that old thing knows better than me, if you say that, it would be better to admit that I killed him. Edward said.
"Well, my lord, increase the dosage of the medicine, so that he will have no choice but to pass on the throne to me when he is dying. I'll just leave him breathing. Edward continued.
Wren wondered, "Is this Bishop the Bishop of the Cult of the Illuminati in Arthur City?" but Wren didn't know if Arthur's state religion was the Cult of the Illuminati. Because there are various state religions in the 66 countries of Shannan. At this moment, it is inconvenient to ask Pete.
"That's good, when the time comes, call all the ministers, and in the end he will have to pass on the throne to you. The bishop laughed.
"If it weren't for the fact that the kingdom's military ministers were still only obeying him, how could I still be so passive. He has already ascended the throne directly. Edward said with a sigh.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness Regent, there are still too few people in our hands who can fully control it now. The bishop sighed deeply.
The two gradually went farther and farther apart.
"I didn't expect the Holy See of Light to be involved!" said Pete.
"When did Arthur have the Cult of Light?" Johnson frowned.
"It's been a long time, and now the number of Illuminati is said to be twenty percent of the total population. Pete said.
Johnson and the others sighed and moved on.
After a while, Johnson gently pushed open a door. Then he jumped down lightly. The crowd also walked out softly.
I saw that the walls of this room were full of portraits. All of them wore crowns.
"These are portraits of my ancestors. Johnson said.
"The portrait of the entrance to this tunnel is Charlemagne. It is said that he also built this secret passage back then. ”
Everyone nodded hurriedly, and Johnson asked Molia to sneak out first to check the situation. Moria's speed is known to everyone. It didn't take long for Molia to understand the situation of the nearby guards.
"We're going to get through these places quickly, and you follow me and Moria. That way you won't be noticed. Only the guards at the entrance to the king's chambers had to be disposed of. Johnson said.
Everyone nodded, and quietly followed Johnson and Molia all the way. The current palace is indeed very well defended, but it still allows everyone to quietly approach the king's bedchamber.
"These two at the door should be at least level four. Will Tyran's hypnosis work?" Johnson asked.
"Have you forgotten you were in the Misty Forest?" Tyran smiled. "Below level six, I can rely only on spells to hypnotize. If you exceed level 6, you will need to assist with some powder. ”
After saying that, Tyran quietly released the hypnotic fog. After a while, two guards fell to the ground. The people hurried over and opened the door of the king's bedchamber.
............
That night, Regent Edward summoned all the military dignitaries of Charlemagne's kingdom.
"I heard that His Majesty is seriously ill. It's time to announce the last words......"
"Alas, Your Majesty's illness is really inexplicable. ”
The ministers who had arrived earlier whispered at the door of the king's bedchamber.
After a while, almost all the ministers in Arthur's city came. A few moments later, the Lord Regent, Edward, arrived.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my father is seriously ill and difficult to recover, so the follow-up heir question may be announced tonight. My brother Sigmund Freud has not been heard from. I hope you will bear witness. Edward said these words with a slight cry. But the meaning is very clear, my brother is not here, if you choose me to be the heir, you must also be a witness.
"Your Highness, no matter where Prince Freud is, you must wait for the crown prince to come back and succeed him. ”
"Yes, yes, Prince Freud must have been on his way!"
Most of the ministers still supported Freud, and Edward was very itchy, but there was nothing he could do. Later, when I report Floyd's death, I'll see who else you choose.
After a while, a beautiful palace maid walked out. He said to the people, "Your Majesty has decreed that Your Highness and your lordships may enter." ”
Edward looked at the woman and wondered. I've been here many times, and I don't know what a beautiful woman is. It seems that after ascending the throne, it is necessary to investigate the maids in this palace. How could a beautiful woman not be caught to accompany the bed?, Edward thought evilly.
Edward was at the front, with the rest of the ministers behind. and went into the king's chamber. I saw the king lying in bed half weakly. When he saw the people coming in, he just looked at them, and a pair of godless eyes looked at them among the ministers. It seems that he is looking for something, but he never sees it.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... I would like to say a few words about my heir today......" King Charlemagne said slowly, word by word.
