Working Prophet.

Chapter 549 Duron's determination

Duran's guess was right. Not long after, he saw two cloaked figures appear at the other end of the alley.

Judging from their stature, they should be a man and a woman, and the chief guard of the imperial forest is still pondering the identity of the opposite party.

One of the women had taken off her hood.

"Sir Durham, I am sorry to invite you here in such a way."

"Priest Cornelia, is that you?" The head of the royal guard was very surprised, "Your Majesty was poisoned shortly after you left this morning. I sent someone to look for you, but unfortunately it was too late. His Majesty has already... "

"I know what happened," Cornelia said.

"That's right, it's been half a day since the incident happened, and it should have spread in the city."

"No, I mean that I got an oracle from the goddess. I knew this tragedy would happen early in the morning. I warned His Majesty just last night, and I warned him again before the start of the competition this morning, but unfortunately he Refuse to take my word for it."

"Of course, it's not surprising that this kind of thing happens." Cornelia continued, "Believers are like this. We are like lambs. The goddess tells us not to graze on the edge of the cliff, but we forget her from time to time. warning."

"Wait, I don't understand, you said you had a premonition that this kind of thing would happen?" Du Lun opened his mouth wide.

"That's right, and in order to convince His Majesty, I personally verified it for him. I... entered Earl Clyde's head and read his memory.

"But even so, His Majesty still refuses to believe the facts before him. I have to admit that I underestimated his trust in his family, especially his own blood."

"What are you talking about?" Du Lun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"You know what I'm talking about, Sir Durham, because you already have doubts in your heart, don't you?"

The priestess said lightly, "You are afraid of this possibility and force yourself not to think about it. You are right, you should not investigate any further."

The chief guard of the Imperial Forest only felt his hair stand on end. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word.

Afterwards, he seemed to be having a fierce struggle in his heart before he spoke again, "Do you have evidence?"

"Does it matter? I know you are skilled in martial arts, Ser Durham, but this is a battle you are doomed to lose. There is no need for fearless sacrifices."

"I am the Chief of the Imperial Guard, and it is my duty to protect His Majesty, and I failed to fulfill this sole duty, but at least I can tell the truth to the public, even if the price is to sacrifice my life.

"But the thing is that Vallia also teaches us that our lives are not just our own."

The priestess said, "You also saw that guy with wings, the mistress of the Arias family did not lie, the storm is coming, Sir Duron, I have consulted the great Vallia.

"The goddess warned me that the enemy this time is stronger than we imagined. To win the final victory, everyone must contribute their own strength instead of dying in meaningless political struggles."

"Meaningless?!" Du Lun lowered his voice, "If my guess is true, plus... that man murdered his father himself, and the imperial ministers are going to put a patricide on that card Bone seat."

"It's not necessary, whether you are willing or not, it's all a foregone conclusion."

"How come, he will be crowned in two days. As long as we announce the truth before then, the imperial ministers can elect a new emperor."

"Why?" asked the priestess.

"Why for what?"

"Why do the imperial ministers listen to you? Gals was designated as the heir by Edward II early on, attended the imperial meeting, and later handled government affairs in place of his father.

"He has a very good relationship with the imperial ministers, and the imperial ministers also like him very much. They will not want to accept another emperor at this time."

"Even if Gals killed his own father?" The head of the royal guard raised his voice a little. .

"You're not a politician, let's stop there, it's not in anyone's interest to investigate."

"Is that what you wanted to say to me after the men brought me here? Let me listen."

"Yes, I am saving you."

"But I don't need anyone to save me." The head of the royal guard shook his head, and then he looked into the eyes of the priestess, pleading.

"You should know how much His Majesty trusts you and how much he worships the god behind you. In the past two years, he has offended many people for you, and even bears a lot of infamy for it."

"And I also let him see his heart clearly, and he became no longer confused, and I also reminded him more than once before he was in danger."

"But you can do more, can't you?" Duran continued, "You and your sect have huge influence in the royal capital, no matter the nobles or the common people.

"If you can use this influence to help me, we can reveal the truth of the matter together. At that time, even if the imperial ministers want to keep Bulgars, they will not be able to keep it. Most importantly, we can also repay His Majesty's kindness."

The eyes of the head of the Royal Forest Guard were full of anticipation.

The priestess sighed and repeated, "You are not a politician, Sir Durham. Politicians don't act emotionally. They need to keep a clear head at all times and do things that are beneficial to themselves and the overall situation. But ..."

Cornelia changed the subject, "You did convince me that Edward II is my monarch, my friend, if you really need me, I can testify for you, but you need to find more evidence first. "

Du Lun was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Of course, there are still two days before Galth's coronation, and I will continue to investigate."

"Then I'll wait for your good news," the priestess said.

After separating from Cornelia, the head of the imperial bodyguard decided to slightly adjust his previous plan.

Don't go to the King's Landing Tower for now, because it is likely to scare the snake.

Although Duran wanted to catch the assassin very strongly, he also knew how difficult it would be to accuse the future emperor of the empire, especially when the latter had the support of the imperial council.

He is now in a very dangerous situation and must be careful at all times.

Duran planned to meet with the cupbearer Walder who was imprisoned in the prison of the garrison again. This time, Durran would focus on asking Walder if there was any unusual behavior on Garth's side in the past few days.

It's a pity that the birdman named Moen had already been beaten to death by Ilea, otherwise he might have found a breakthrough from him and found evidence of Gals' collusion with other races.

However, the head of the imperial guard just regretted it for a moment, and quickly returned to his work. He still had a lot to do, and he had to complete all the investigations before Garth was crowned.
