vs 24 The truth after the confusion
Pedi and Drahiel's conversation was not as eager as his conversation with Don Wright, he quietly listened to the elven general's words, silently walked to the Morinda corpse, looked at the old orc's face that was gradually pale, and instinctively remembered the old orc's old appearance.
"Not only are there people in your kingdom who are opposing you, but there are countless people who are supporting you, and there are many who are willing to give everything for your cause. Drahir stood on the other side of the king, looking at the halberd lying quietly under the king's cloak, "These people are worthy of your trust. β
"I never doubted my minister, never doubtedβ" Pedi insisted on his thoughts, and then he looked at Morinda's body and said with a slight coldness, "But there are some people I don't...", his words stopped abruptly, and after a pause, he continued, "Sir Morinda will not go quietly, I will make those people kneel in the temple of the gods to apologize to my friends and tell them about their crimes!"
"The gods may forgive them, but I won't, I will never forgive these people, they... Not worthy of forgiveness. Pedi's words showed his determination, but it also seemed to vent the anger he had endured for so long.
"You are the king, and the whole kingdom will obey your will. "Drahir doesn't care about the lives of those people, in his eyes the so-called nobles of Crewe City are insignificant, what he really cares about is the thoughts and will of the king in front of him.
"I like your words. Pedi burst out laughing.
Drahir shrugged, "I'm not praising you, I'm trying to make you understand that the orderly life that lives in a large area in the eastern part of the Ailan Continent will change its fate because of your words, you..."
"I knew exactly what I should and shouldn't do. Pedi interrupted Drahiel, he didn't want to hear the big reason now.
Interrupted by Drahir's open-minded stall hand, Peidi was silent for two or three seconds before saying, "Just now... Do you feel that power?"
"Of course!" the smile on Drachier's face immediately retracted as he said these two words, "It's a force that is completely opposed to ordered life, a force that shouldn't exist, and it's the first time I've seen such a force, I... Such a power is not even read in any account. β
"That's the power of the Order of Chaos!"
"Are you sure?"
"I've even spoken to her!"
Drahir looked surprised, and he was stunned for a moment before he said, "According to the information from the garrison of Felde Territory, Ferrola's power still exists in the Cullen Territory. β
"It's not surprising that someone has provided a spatial node for her power. Peddy thought of his secretary general, Otwood, and the killing intent in his eyes poured out unreservedly, "This kind of power strike method was proposed by a magician two hundred years ago, and it was successfully experimented fifty years ago, but... It's not as powerful as Ferro's. β
"The poison that Otwood gave me is very special, it can not only corrode my internal organs, but also temporarily affect my thoughts and deprive me of control of the Holy Force..."Pei Di recalled the performance after the poisoning, his eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, "It was a very uncomfortable feeling, I don't want to do it again." β
"But you survived, and there was no sign of poisoning at all. β
"That's the magic of the Holy Power, when you have a physical relationship with that power, she will serve you with all her heart. β
"I'm not going to believe in the Holy Powers. Drahir laughed out loud in a deliberate joking, but his joke was followed by a serious expression, "You just said that Ferrora was talking to you?"
"She told me something... Something completely different from the history you have recorded. β
"Did she say that this continent was supposed to be a paradise of death, and that we were able to change the way the world existed and sealed them?"
"You guessed it right. Pedi raised an eyebrow.
"In the world of the High Elves, any doctrine can be allowed, and some people have made such claims. Dragier explains: "We have a book that says something very interesting... It records the earliest way in which the Undead Legion was formed, not by the blood and corpses of the living, but by a huge lake called 'Blood Source'. β
"It was a naturally formed lake, the water of the living like the blood of the living, and it was rumored that she was the origin of this world, but in the endβ" Drahier shook his head, "I'm sorry, my faith doesn't allow me to continue imagining that picture, if you're interested, I can have a copy of that book fetched for you." β
Pedi nodded and didn't continue the conversation, "I'm telling you this just to get you to reassess our enemies... After all, there is an entire army of the undead stationed opposite us, and a bloody 'Death Fortress', and I don't want to have an accident like the one in the next war. β
"After ten days, you'll get what you want. β
"Three days, you only have three days. Pedi hated that elves always liked to drag on for a long time, "Andβ" Before Draxiel could reply, Pedi continued to command, "And... Kindness... This assassination can't be done with Otwood alone, Don Wright's goal is so big that all eyes are on him. β
"So... You hurriedly sent Director Don Wright away, just to attract the attention of others..."Drahir's voice was dissatisfied, but his tone was very easy-going, "And then leave the most difficult things to me later?" but... It's a very interesting thing to do, and I'm going to do my best for Sir Morinda who is lying here. β
"Thank you very much for your help. "Pedi can't give orders to Drahir like other ministers, and the promise of the other party is very rare for him, after all, what is happening now is an internal matter of the kingdom, not a matter of foreign war.
"Stability within the kingdom is also an indispensable condition for future wars. Drahir looked at the Morinda lying quietly again, this time with a solemn and serious expression, "I will have a long-distance call with the First General in three days, and assist Director Don Wright in investigating this assassination... I only hope that this assassination will not affect our war against the undead legions. β
Pedi chuckled, "The police department has uncovered at least ten planned assassinations in Crewe, and you think I'll be scared by this assassination?"
"Hopefully, after this event is over, you will be able to concentrate on the war against the undead legions. β
"I'm very serious about every war. "Because behind every war, there are countless families!"
"Haha, I know... You are a great king. "Well, your Majesty, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"Let's do it for now. Pedi had limited information in his hands at the moment, and although he had other ideas in his mind, he wouldn't show it in such a hurry.
"Allow me to step aside, then. "The elven general didn't want to waste time at this time.
"When you go out, let my uncle, General Lundin-Reagan, in. β
...
The top of the tent had not been repaired, and this was done by Pedi on purpose, because he needed to use the cold chill above his head to dispel the fiery anger in his heart, and to remind himself of what had just happened.
In the cold wind, Pedi leaned against the brazier, and the attendants and guards who had been busy just now were nowhere to be seen.
Lundin-Reagan cautiously walked into the tent, and at this moment he was extremely careful not to face the king, so careful not to face the king.
"Sit down. Pedi pointed to a spot to the left of the brazier.
"My dear uncle, what makes you so careful?" said Pedy, rummaging sideways over the slightly damp cabinet behind him, and pulling out a beautifully packaged box of cigars.
"Goddess bless it from getting soaked by this damn weather. Pei Di skillfully opened the cigarette case, "The goblin craftsmanship is amazing, the moisture on the outside can squeeze out the water, but the inside is very dry. β
"Isn't their technology so good now also going to the kingdom?" said Lundin-Regan, "Your brilliance has covered the Klicker Islands, and countless goblin mechanics have gathered in Crewe City under your radiance, bringing the best technology to the kingdom." β
"Haha!" Although Pei Di knew that his uncle's words were exaggerated, these words sounded pleasant, "Your praise for me can be compared to the affirmation of the people of the entire kingdom. β
"I don't speak for the people of the whole kingdom. Lundin Reagan's eyelids jumped uncontrollably when he heard the King's description, shaking his head exaggeratedly while vehemently denying it, and deliberately showing a just right amount of trepidation.
Uncle's panicked expression made Pedi smile noncommittally, but this smile lasted only two seconds, and then there was a chill from the bottom of my heart, "Someone wants to assassinate me, who do you think it will be?"
The question is abrupt, but the question itself is not.
"Your Majesty, I have never been concerned with the internal affairs of the kingdom, and since I joined the army fifteen years ago, I have never been in contact with any interest groups in Crewe, and in these fifteen years I have not even attended any gatherings other than the Kavarburg banquet, and my holidays have been spent with my family. "Lundin-Reagan was very serious about his position.
"You don't have to be so nervous, I never doubted you. Pedi gave a gentle smile as he handed out his cigar, soothing his uncle's slightly agitated emotions.
"Do you know why I'm poisoned?" asked Pedi a strange question.
Lundin-Reagan didn't answer the question, for he couldn't answer at all, and Pedi stared at his uncle earnestly, and shouted at the door, "Sir Jon!"
"Your Majesty!" Willie Jon, captain of the King's Guard, walked into the tent and gave a knightly salute.
"Tell my uncle why all this is happening tonight. Pedi commanded as he pointed to his uncle.
"Yes, Your Majestyβ" Willy-Jon replied without hesitation, and his dark eyes turned to meet the quizzing gaze cast by Lundin Reagan.
"As early as half a month ago, His Majesty received information revealing that there were enemy spies in the king's tent and... A vague assassination plan, the source of the information is the former Minnie Knight of Illuk's Command Intelligence II, and Sir Derick Danny also confirmed this information from the Logistics Department. β
Sir Willie stopped to organize his words, and Lundin Reagan heard the three key words of Minnie Knight, Derick Denny, and the Logistics Department in the other man's words, and his hands and feet shivered as if they had been dragged into an ice hole.
As Lundine Reagan approached the brazier, Willie Jon continued: "We don't know who the spy is, so we've secretly relaxed the management around the King's Tent and secretly supervised all the violators under the lax management... In fact, under such lax management, only two people did not violate the rules, one was Secretary General Otwood, and the other was the Knight Don Wright, who had just arrived at the camp. β
Willy-Jon stopped abruptly as he said this, but this time he didn't think about the words, but because he suddenly remembered that he was also a member of the king's tent, and the knight of Don Wright had been urgently summoned by the king, so... What is his purpose?
Lundine Reagan had already understood the general process when he heard this, and he answered as Willie Jon stopped, "It's been less than two days since the Don Wright Knight arrived at the camp, so he can basically rule it out, and Secretary General Otwood..."
"You go down first. Pedi stopped Willy-Jon from continuing, took two hard puffs of his cigar, and said after Willy-Jon bowed and withdrew, "I have a lot of trust in everyone around me, and I even prayed to the goddess at the last minute, hoping that this was a misinformation. β
"But the goddess played a joke on me, and he couldn't help but let me verify my previous guess and give me an even more unexpected surprise!" Pedi was surrounded by the smoke he was exhaling at the moment, and his face looked particularly gloomy and terrifying under the reflection of the fire.
"I looked down on the rats hiding in the shadows, and I thought they were just not satisfied with my reforms, so... I can give them time to get to know me, I've killed a lot of people, I know there are many innocents out there... So I tolerate their repeated challenges to my royal power. Peddy was sometimes agitated to reveal his anger, and sometimes to be terribly calm, "but my tolerance and forgiveness were not exchanged for peace, but endless strife." β
Pedi raised his head and looked at the top of the empty tent, "They actually joined forces with the forces of death and joined forces with the forces of the Suker Plains to deal with their king!" he gritted his teeth and endured the cathartic killing intent in his chest, "The forces of the Undead Legion and the Suk Plains are not only my enemies, but also the enemies of the entire kingdom!"
