Pirate King: Unparalleled<
Chapter 14 Noble Conspiracy and Assassins
The night was already deep at this time. Countless stars in the sky broke through the night curtain and poked their heads out. The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the ground and fell on a huge courtyard somewhere in the north of the royal capital. Here was the nobleman of the kingdom, Earl Yorick. Earl Yorick, who has good habits and likes to go to bed early and get up early, is not sleeping peacefully in his bedroom at this time.
In the adjacent study that is closely connected to his bedroom, the study that should have been dark was now brightly lit by candlelight. Yorick sat quietly on the chair next to the desk in his study, with his hands folded in his arms. There was no expression on his face, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Directly opposite him, other nobles of the kingdom, "Baron Charles" and "Viscount Scott" as well as other unknown minor nobles, appeared in his study and discussed something in a low voice. There was "Norris", the Earl of the Kingdom, who kept walking back and forth in front of him, his expression restless.
Yorick finally opened his eyes. He looked at Norris who was pacing back and forth anxiously and said, "Okay, Norris, don't continue to walk back and forth in front of me. Now that everything has happened, no matter how anxious you are, It’s not going to help, you might as well sit down and drink a small glass of rum and relax.”
After hearing Yorick's words, Norris, who was walking back and forth, stopped. He turned around and came to Yorick's desk, put his hands on it and roared at Yorick: "When did you do it?" "Don't worry, do you know that Brut has been arrested and imprisoned because of the military embezzlement case?"
Norris took a few breaths and said: "The informant I planted in the trial told me that Brut was imprisoned at the bottom of the prison and was tortured and interrogated by the warden Azik for two full days. Just yesterday, His Majesty the King brought Harold and Tris to the trial house to interrogate Brut. He didn’t know what happened during the interrogation. He only knew that Brut was not imprisoned in the end. In the prison, the warden Azik gave Brut a clean room and entertained him with good food and wine. There were guards patrolling the door day and night, and not even a fly could get in.
Norris looked into Yorick's eyes and continued: "If, I mean if Brut couldn't withstand the torture and confessed us all, you have to know that there may be many people in the room of the military embezzlement case. Many of us have participated and received valuable benefits. When the time comes, none of us will be able to escape under Brut's accusation."
Yorick slowly pulled out a luxurious silk scarf from his chest pocket, gently wiped the saliva on his face from Norris's roar, and threw the silk scarf casually after wiping it.
He looked up at Norris and smiled softly: "My Lord Norris, now that things have reached this point, we have no way out. Besides, even if Brut is not arrested, Prison, there is no room for buffer between us and the respected "His Majesty the King".
"Think about it, over the years, the old king has canceled many of our rights as a great noble while he was still alive."
Reducing the number of private soldiers, teaching the rights of the lower-class untouchables who offended the nobility, and the most abominable national uniform tax rate, which makes the face of many of our nobles, the royal family canceled so many of our taxes to cater to the low-level untouchables. Rights and interests are really beneath the dignity of the ruling class and the nobility.
Yorick said with a ferocious face: "These low-level untouchables are born to serve us, the superior people. We are born to be the masters of these untouchables. Resistance to us will lead to death. These untouchables have relied on the support of the royal family over the years." , we can’t even do the most basic kneeling ritual when we meet on the road.”
Norris looked at Yorick and frowned and asked: "What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Yorick looked at Norris and asked seriously: "Why not? We should be the masters of this country, the masters of this country."
Norris looked at Yorick as if he were a fool. He sneered: "How to rebel depends on the few private soldiers you and I have. Although the old king has reduced the number of our private soldiers, on the surface we promised However, we have secretly gathered a large number of troops, but you have to know that it is still not enough for us to fight against Tris and the army of this country, and we will only die."
"White Rhino Pirates, Yorick said these five words calmly."
Norris stared at Yorick's expression closely, trying to see something from it. He frowned and asked: "If you want to unite these pirates, you must know that cooperating with pirates is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. No." What’s going to happen?”
Yorick chuckled and said: "At this point, it is no longer our turn and we have too many options to choose from. By cooperating with the White Rhino Pirates, we at least have a way to survive. Otherwise, we will be sentenced to death in the trial court that day. Those pirates who were hanged will be the fate of you and me in the future."
After saying this, Yorick clapped his hands gently, and behind Yorick, a thin figure walked out from the shadows among the rows of bookshelves.
This is a thin man, very tall, with pale skin all over his body, a pair of small and narrow eyes, and the whites of his light blue eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, as if he has not slept for a long time, and his mouth has a strange expression The curvature makes it feel as if he is smiling all the time, which is very eye-catching.
He came in front of all the nobles, and after performing an impeccable noble salute, he raised his head and smiled strangely at everyone: "Good evening, noble gentlemen of the Kingdom of Ferelden, I am from the White Rhino Pirates. , I am the captain of a ship under the White Rhino Pirates fleet. My name is "Ibami", and my nickname is "Shadow Killer".
This time I came under the order of our White Rhino Pirates Captain "Weird Bill". The purpose is to help Lord Yorick in case of emergencies. I will temporarily serve as the earl's assassin and thug, and occasionally... Make a guest appearance as a messenger.
Ibami continued: "In order to show the sincerity of our Captain Bill, we brought greeting gifts to all the noble gentlemen. After speaking, Ibami took out a huge cloth bag from the waist behind him. It was round and he didn't know what it contained. What, there are drops of snow water flowing down below.
Ibami smiled cruelly and casually threw the bag containing the unknown object forward. The cloth bag was thrown in front of the nobles. The rope tied to the mouth of the bag was opened by the impact, and several round objects appeared. Ran out like this.
When everyone took a look, they saw only a few round heads covered with snow. The faces of these heads were full of fear of death. There was actually a familiar face among them. When everyone took a closer look, they found that it was the former Minister of Finance. Brut
Seeing these snow-covered heads and Brut among them, the nobles were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and even some were so frightened that they wet their pants. Ibami was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He smiled cruelly at everyone again, then made a noble salute and stepped back, then disappeared into the shadows of the bookshelf behind him.
Yorick was very satisfied with the shock brought by Ibami's appearance and what Ibami did. He stood up, looked at the nobles behind the desk and said loudly: "Everyone of the Kingdom of Ferelden Nobles, we have no way out. If we don't resist, we will only die. We should be the masters who have the power of life and death for those untouchables, the masters of this country, instead of just collecting a meager fee like we do now. A little tax can do nothing.
Yorick pulled out a piece of white paper from the desk drawer, and then took out a dagger with strange patterns carved out of nowhere. He picked up the dagger and cut his finger, leaving a mark on the white paper. Get your own bloody handprint.
He looked at the nobles and said: "Now, if you are willing to follow my steps, willing to contribute to your own interests, willing to overthrow this royal family that has lost the dignity of the nobles, and become the master of this country, then come and stay for you. With the bloody handprint, I, Yorick, swear that when I become the king of this country, you will all be my greatest contributors, with high positions and generous salaries, and everything you need.
The nobles who heard Yorick's words looked at each other. No one wanted to be the first to eat crabs. Yorick was not in a hurry and sat back in his chair again with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Finally, someone couldn't help it any longer. Baron Charles walked up, avoiding the heads of Xuelinlin at his feet. He picked up the dagger on the desk and pointed it at his finger, drawing blood. His eyes overflowed, and after pressing his own fingerprints, he shouted "Long live His Majesty King Yorick" before retreating.
If there is a person who is willing to do this, then there will be a second one. Viscount Scott followed Charles after he pressed his fingerprints, cut his fingers, pressed his own bloody fingerprints, and shouted loudly. Long live "His Majesty King Yorick".
Then the third, fourth, and even the whole room people went up and pressed their own bloody handprints. Every time they heard "Long live His Majesty the Kingdom of Yorick", the smile on Yorick's lips became It became even more intense, and in the end, Norris was the only one left in the room who didn't press the button.
Yorick opened his eyes, and everyone in the room focused their attention on Norris. Norris sighed, walked forward, took the dagger and slashed it casually, and then filled the The bloody handprint left his own place on the paper, and then whispered: "Long live His Majesty King Yorick."
Yorick took the petition filled with bloody fingerprints, looked at the bright red fingerprints on it and laughed proudly: "Everyone, in the days to come, you will find out that the decision you made today How wise.”
