Arad's crooked savior

In the evening, a cold rain began to fall from the sky in the southern area of ​​​​the empire. It was drizzling at first, but soon it was pounding on the window sill.

The entire golden city of Weitalun was also shrouded in the mist and mist, which was quite an artistic conception.

Sophie held a bowl of steaming hot ramen, added two kilograms of soy sauce beef, poured it into her stomach, and smacked her lips with satisfaction.

Ramen is made of flour, flour is the seed of wheat, wheat is a plant, and vegetables are also plants, so eating noodles is equivalent to eating vegetables.

Perfect!

"Thousands of lights, one light is a family and a story." Ye Lin elegantly sipped his wine and said some seemingly sophisticated words to increase the depth of his self-cultivation.

Siatt rolled her eyes at him, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and said, "If you are really feeling uncomfortable, come over and eat the melon seeds for me. I'll eat the kernels, and you lick the shells."

"Is it a shell?" Ye Lin blinked and glanced at the eldest lady's round and plump waist and legs.

…

The Royal Council Hall of the Delos Empire is brightly lit. The palace hall, which was the first to be rebuilt with materials, is still magnificent today. The finest fragrant wood, well-decorated gems, and candlesticks made of gold and silver all reflect the empire's rich financial resources.

Although it seemed that it was rainy weather that was not suitable for going out, His Majesty the Emperor had an order, and the summoned nobles could only go there depressedly and did not dare to disobey.

They are all old men who have been involved in the officialdom. The minimum qualifications with His Majesty are more than ten years, and they are already familiar with Leon's temper.

The eldest princess Celia, known as the "face of the empire", abandoned her at the drop of a hat. Her cold and ruthless methods suddenly reminded these old people of more than 20 years ago, when His Majesty had just ascended the throne as emperor.

At the age of fifteen, Heid Baden relied on a mysterious fortune-teller to overthrow his two brothers and his father, and became the supreme emperor of this huge empire!

At that time, the nobles from well-known families whose empire had been passed down for hundreds of years would inevitably look down upon this young emperor. He was just a young emperor and was still in school at the age of fifteen. What could he do?

But Heid used a series of actions to tell those nobles who was the monarch of this empire.

In the name of settling the empire's borders for a hundred years, they tore up the peace treaty of the previous king and sent troops to severely attack the Bantu people. It would be such a treasonous thing that they would never dare to think of.

Is the eldest princess really the mastermind behind those experiments? I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. How can a woman with no real rights have the capital and ability to mobilize the imperial army?

Some people discovered that the Royal Council Hall suddenly lost many faces.

For example, Bishop Hendrys with a broken arm, Princess Celia, Barn Bashut, etc.

"The eldest prince Vann Franz, it has been half a year since he returned to Valtalen. I miss him a little." Leon said casually, flipping through some documents that were not visible to others.

As soon as this question was said, it made all the nobles feel slightly frightened. With the incident of the eldest princess Celia in front of them, it was difficult not to think more about this aspect.

The eldest prince often lives in the Gray Desert in the north, where his grandfather, the Marquis of Aswan, lives, and he may not be able to come back more than once a year.

Especially when the Chaos Apostles wreaked havoc on the mainland, the eldest prince's movements were actually a bit too loud.

In fact, if the person who took the blame for Lyon was the eldest prince, they would not be as worried as they are today, but the eldest princess has always been hailed as the face of the empire, and her performance in the second Dark Crusade was also quite good.

The bird is gone and the bow is hidden... His Majesty the Emperor simply broke the bow.

The drenching and cold rainy night, the anxious ministers... Lyon saw everything in his eyes, and he promulgated several policies to benefit the people, such as cutting some taxes, building some infrastructure, etc.

He is trying to appease these nobles and ministers and maintain the operation of a huge empire. It is definitely not enough to rely on him alone.

The meeting was over, but all the nobles were still worried, and they were preparing to leave the palace as if they were on guard against thieves. Being in the center of the whirlpool of power, sometimes it was not as comfortable as being a small lord in a remote place.

"Well, who is that?" Duke Conard was surprised. He saw with his own eyes a woman with white hair reaching her knees, an enchanting figure, and two horns on her head, walking into His Majesty's palace.

"Astros?!"

Duke Conard instantly recalled that the terrifying Astros, who was famous in ancient times, had never appeared on the battlefield of the Second Dark Holy War and was the only survivor among the Three Dark Knights.

Some people said that she knew she was no match and ran away in advance. Others speculated that she might have died somewhere and even her body was burned. In short, her whereabouts remain a mystery.

Duke Conard had a bad premonition and hurried back to the royal palace and asked the guards if they had seen a woman with long white hair and horns.

Grain weeds

But the answer I got was no, I didn't see it at all.

There is no white-haired concubine in His Majesty's harem, and besides, horns, aren't they the characteristics of minotaurs and demons?

"Please take strict precautions to protect His Majesty's safety. As far as I know, the woman who is one of the Three Knights of Darkness is still missing." Duke Conard told him again. He did not feel that he was really dazzled. , but within the palace, it is hard to think of any search.

If it was really Astros who appeared in the palace, what was her purpose?

rainy night

North of Vetalun City, the residence of Earl Barn Bashut

During the Second Dark Holy War, Saint Barn of the Four Swords was not in Vetalun, but was executing other orders given by Leon before.

After returning to the city, he continued to take orders to hunt down the remaining members of the Ringwood family.

He is an upstart in the empire, a confidant of His Majesty, and has an infinitely bright future.

"who?!"

While he was meditating and practicing, Baan suddenly opened his eyes. The dagger he put aside was instantly unsheathed, and he smelled a very special smell of blood.

In the dark rainy night, the occasional flash of lightning flashed across the window, and the figure reflected on the window had four arms with sharp and long claws.

"The experimental subject from the research institute actually ran out?" Barn was slightly shocked, then smiled disdainfully. It was just that he couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, he actually came to the door.

"You are His Majesty's worry. Killing you will be a great achievement." Baan swung his sword in all directions, tearing apart the cement wall and confronting the experimental subject tit for tat.

In order to pursue the ultimate and perfect fusion power, the dead director of the research institute was very clever. He used ghost hands, mind energy tattoos, dragon blood, fragments of the dark eye obtained by chance, and a series of powerful enough things to An experimental body that can transcend the legendary realm was constructed.

During the research process, it was found that no human body can carry the energy fusion of these substances, not even the natural owner of ghost hands.

Living people won't work, so the monster in front of Barn is actually an undead weapon, similar in nature to the giant in the dark elf lava cave, as well as the headless horseman and skeleton knight.

next day

An explosive news swept through Weitalun. The upstart Earl of Barn Bashut was attacked by a mysterious strong man in his mansion last night. Many servants were killed, and he himself was seriously injured and coughed up blood. If the movement hadn't been too big and caused other The strong ones should pay attention and provide timely support. Earl Barn may hate the rainy night.

Many people who saw the monster's true appearance said it was the remnant of the pretender, a completely mutated high-level blooder.

At the same time, Astros began to wander around Leon frequently and carefully, and every time it was just right for people to "accidentally" see her, but no trace of her could be found.

After being given a powerful demon origin by Naiyali, the time ability she realized has been extended to nine seconds~

As a result, news that Astros, one of the Three Knights of Darkness, intended to take action against Lyon began to spread in the market.

For several days, Astros' simple appearance caused panic among people.

The demise of the Chaos Apostle has not been two months, not to mention that the memory is still fresh, the cruelty of the golden capital of Veitalon is right in front of us, and many buildings have not been rebuilt yet.

Leon's eyes were even red with anger. It happened that the Underworld Youke was on a mission. He also shouted angrily, and his whole body was filled with the power of the legendary realm, roaring in the wind and clouds, very powerful.

But with Astros' ability to stop for nine seconds, there was nothing he could do.

Nowadays, the Three Dark Knights appear beside the emperor all day long. What does this make the people think? !

Is it suspected that their emperor was attacked by Astros and turned into an evil pretender, or is the emperor actually a colleague of the pretender?

Either way, it would be very detrimental to him.

The task Ye Lin gave to Astros was to swing around him...

The situation of being questioned by the whole world and the collapse of trust is what Saint Michel once suffered, and Leon will slowly taste it one by one.

He intended to pluck himself cleanly, but he was still the wise and mighty monarch, so Ye Lin made him associate with evil and not be able to sleep all day long.
