Chapter 215: The Old Emperor
He didn't explain too much to his subordinates, so he ordered: "Since it has nothing to do with them, let this line go for the time being."
Go all out to investigate which other nobles are involved with the Blazer family, and be sure to catch them all.
I will let Archbishop Brian communicate with the royal family, they know the seriousness and dare not cover it up.
We don't care outside the empire, and we can't care about it, but as long as it's within the scope of the empire, we must not let go of any suspicious clues. ”
The subordinate replied, "Yes, my lord." What should I do with the book I found......
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Hamilton's cold gaze shooting, and immediately changed his words: "Nothing was found at the scene, everything was blown to pieces." ”
Hamilton nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Don't be so nervous, if this thing is done well, there will always be our benefits."
Don't you suspect that Battier was in there?
The claws of those northern barbarians are also too long, and this time they catch their tails, and they always have to charge some interest.
Ordered to go down and quickly take over all his assets in the empire and confiscate them.
Also, a week later, whether the case is over or not, the news will be released, and I want to see how many more people will jump in.
Take this opportunity to crack down on the Red Skull Thieves and the Pretender organization, and the reasons are ready-made. ”
"Yes, sir. "This time the reply of his subordinates is much more powerful, and the rich and powerful merchant Batyr, his assets within the imperial capital alone are astronomical.
Even if one of the scales and half-claws fell into his hands, it would be quite a huge fortune, and thinking of this, the subordinates breathed a lot heavier.
"If you don't have any interest, hurry up and investigate the case, and you will be indispensable when the time comes. Hamilton laughed and threw him out.
That night, the noisy imperial capital during the day was silent, and even the cats foraging in the dark could not stand the sudden cold temperature, and they could not see any trace, and they did not know where they were hiding.
In a tea garden on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Hamilton, who had looked like a man not long ago, was now kneeling respectfully on one knee in front of an old man, holding a thin booklet with both hands.
"This was found in the ruins, and this is the only one, and there is no copy. ”
The old man's age-spotted hand took the booklet, and after turning a few pages slightly, he raised his head, and it was His Majesty Charles, the emperor of the empire.
The old emperor asked, "Has anyone else seen the contents?"
Hamilton bowed his head and replied: "There is one more person, I will personally arrange for the end of this case." ”
The old emperor nodded noncommittally, rubbed his hand on the lowered head a few times, and said, "I've worked hard for you all these years, Hank. ”
Hearing this familiar title, Hamilton's body trembled slightly, and even his voice choked: "It's not hard, this is what I should do, father." ”
The last two words were like a gust of cold wind, freezing the space.
If the outside world knows that the Venerable Hamilton Paladin, the temple's highest military representative in the empire, is actually Charles's illegitimate son, I don't know how much turmoil it will cause.
"Soon I will return to the arms of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and if one day, someone will find you with this booklet and help him. The old emperor said.
Hamilton hammered his chest and said in a deep voice, "Yes, father." ”
Hamilton was gone, as quietly as he had come, leaving no trace.
The old emperor was still sitting there, drinking the hot tea in the pot little by little, before he sighed and said, "Do you think we can still trust him? ”
There was no response in the darkness, as if the old emperor was really old and confused, talking to the air.
Charles barely stood up, his legs trembling a little, and it happened that a hand reached out behind him and grabbed his arm, so that he could stand firmly.
He patted the other party's hand to show his gratitude, and said with a smile: "You said that we are both from martial arts training, why can you still sleep for three or four hours, but I can only sleep for two hours by tossing and turning, and I have to get up once at night in the middle."
It's not fair. ”
It took the owner of the hand half a day to reply: "Overindulgence." ”
Charles glared back angrily, and soon he burst out laughing, and it took him a long time to recover.
He stroked his chest and said, "It's still interesting to talk to you old guys, I've been emperors for decades, and now those young courtiers even pretend to smile when they see me, let alone confront me in person."
I really miss the days when we drank and rode horses together, and the beautiful girls in the bar, they are all very good memories, aren't they?
You're just too stereotypical, and you've lost a lot of fun in life in this life.
When one day I call all those old fellows to the imperial capital, I will put some living creatures in the garden to see who else can draw the bow and who can not drink all night, it is really interesting to think about.
Old Barry was gone, and that Morgan guy had heard that his teeth had fallen out, so he had to drink some liquids.
Brad: They were a little bit worse, and they couldn't let go, so they let them pour us wine, just like they did back then. ”
As he spoke, the old emperor glanced back before continuing: "Whether he has washed off the bloodline mark or not, his body will still have my Charles's blood in it.
If one day he becomes the Pope, even if it is just a high-ranking holy knight, it will be the time when the Ward Empire will be unified and its glory will be restored.
You say that day is still far away, old man. ”
This time the man didn't speak, but helped the old emperor into the dark room.
The distant Duchy of Myadas, one of the minor principalities attached to the Sanctuary, is in a temple in the central square of the capital.
"What? you say it again?" the palace master completely lost his previous strategizing appearance, and the whole person stood up, exuding an aura like an angry tyrannosaurus, so that the slender servants had to retreat a few meters away.
But he had to continue to explain: "The news from the southeast that there was a violent explosion on the outskirts of the Wardersmann Empire, the Southern Temple, the Western Temple, and the Sanctuary were furious, and ordered a strict investigation.
Our partners in the Wardsman Empire were swept away and all properties were seized.
In addition, it is suspected that Lord Battier is also at the center of the explosion, and there are no bones left, and Madame Maya begs us to find the real culprit, and asks us to instruct us on what to do next?"
The palace master's eyes were black for a while, and all the bad news one after another smashed his eyes.
"Bastard, who allowed them to make first-class contraband in the imperial capital?
It's really fierce, and revenge, that thing can explode if it is slightly dropped, how dare they?
Battier, this bastard who has more than enough to accomplish and more to lose, is really going to be killed by him.
Find out if he's dead or hiding, it's okay if he's dead, and if he's not, you know what to do. ”
The slender servant nodded and replied, "Where is Lady Maya?"
The palace master said impatiently: "Tell her, cut off all the clues, hibernate for the time being, and wait for a few years to pass the limelight."
It is strictly forbidden for her to make any more disturbances in the south. ”
The slender lady replied, "But according to Lady Maya, it is precisely because Lord Battier participated in the personal feud between the Blazer family and the mad lion family that this time it may have triggered the other party's revenge. ”
The palace master was furious: "Battier is a stupid bastard, how many years of hard work have been ruined by him, and most of the entire southern vein has been broken, all because of his self-righteousness.
What do you think is that place, what are those things, not to mention a small mad lion family, even the royal family of Wardsmann would not dare to get involved.
Let her not act rashly, completely abandon the Wardsmann Empire, and go all out to integrate the rest of the network left behind by Battier. ”
As he spoke, he seemed to remember the special features of that woman, and eased his tone: "Explain to her, when the limelight is over, I will personally avenge him."
In addition, I will go back to the Northern Temple and explain to the adults in person. ”
The servant retreated, leaving only the palace master alone in the house, and the cold ale was poured down in one gulp, which calmed down the anxiety in his heart a little.
The lost money can be regained, and the broken network can be rebuilt, it just takes some time, but ......
Batyr was a fool who hoped he was really dead, otherwise he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if that bald head with a habit of cleanliness really fell into the hands of the Southern Temple.
If he is really caught with tangible evidence and gets into trouble in the Holy Domain, even the backers behind him may not be able to protect him, on the contrary, he will fall into the well, and even kill people and cut down the roots.
Fortunately, Battier has no other skills, and has always been tight-lipped about his news, and the people below don't say what he looks like, even if his name is impossible to know.
This made the palace owner feel a little more at ease, and ordered to prepare more gifts, not only the top boss, but also the other old guys, all of whom were a group of greedy devils.
Among all the holy knights in the Holy Domain, he couldn't even rank in the top twenty in terms of strength, and his rank couldn't be compared with those big people directly under the Holy Domain.
But because he was good at drilling, he was appreciated by Archbishop Warren Hines, the supreme leader of the Northern Temple, and even handed over some hidden properties to him to manage.
Only then can he be sponsored by the other party to dominate the diocese of one large, two small and three principalities, and be at ease and powerful.
It's not uncommon for several major factions in the temple to send out secret lines to each other like this, and Battier is just one of them, and he has other minions in the area of the Western Temple and the Eastern Temple.
However, Battier's misfortune this time was so great that even the palace owner could not explain it, and it was not clear that Battier dared to set up the contraband factory in the heart of the other party.
If I go back this time, I will have a big blood, and he secretly hates it.
Philip, who had already returned to the city of Gocan, did not know how much of a shock his audacity had caused in the interior of the temple, and he would not have imagined that by mistake, his old enemy temporarily put away his sharp claws and lay dormant.
