Lord of War

  A terrible concussion broke out in the western part of the Knight Nation.

A nephew of Prince Lorne died on the way to the Sun God Martial Arts Festival. It is said that this nephew was one of the geniuses ranked in the Prince Lorne’s family. His death had been suffered two years ago. A blow to the Prince Lorne family brought another heavy blow. And more than that, the other aristocratic youngsters who went with this Prince Lorne family to the Yi Luolan Sun God Martial Arts Festival also all died.

  All the corpses were headed by a sword.

  This simple and straightforward way of death also caused difficulties in investigative work, because there was no way to identify who the murderer was. However, the only certainty is that these people should have died by the same force organization-after all, these teenagers died in two different places, separated by almost half a day from each other. I want to speculate that they belonged to one person It's impossible.

  Because of this, Robin erupted in the western part of the knight country, the largest shock in history.

  However, with the help of this turmoil, Sean and Alexis also successfully left the Robin Knight Nation-two days had passed by the time Prince Lorne ordered the blockade of all teleportation magic circles in the west. At this time, Sean and Alexis had already crossed the border of the Robin Knight Kingdom. After another day of driving, Sean entered the northwestern part of the Lane Kingdom.

  Because of successfully preventing the leak of the wind, coupled with the low profile of Sean and Alexis along the way, they did not cause any trouble in the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Lane.

  But when Sean took Alexis back to the Void Duchy smoothly, it was already the eighth day he came back from the floating library.

  On this day, Kozilek solved Rattlesnake Uba and brought the information from Lake to Cecilia. Similarly, it was the same day that William and Hasas officially launched an attack on the secret caravan.

  The situation in the entire Southern Continent seems to have once again fallen into the subtle atmosphere of turmoil.

especially. After Shaun returned to the Void Principality, what he heard was not good news, but another bad news.

  At least for the current Void Principality, it is indeed a bad news.

  The wise King of Lane Kingdom, Ingus Lane died.

This news. It was delivered by the Marquis of Floris himself.

  Because according to the rules. If the king dies, then all nobles and lords must go to the king's capital to mourn, no matter how important things are going on at this time, even if it is in a state of war, they must stop rushing back to the king's audience, otherwise they will be regarded as a rebellion. .

  But the Grand Duke of the Void Duchy, Sean Connery is a man who is definitely not a peaceful man.

  In fact, no one knows what the grand prince is up to. I don't know if the grand prince leaves. How can I get in touch with him?

  So when the Marquis of Flores sent this news to the Void Duchy, not only the old king’s emissary felt embarrassed, but even Neil and Hela, who was in charge of the Void Duchy at this time, were equally embarrassed. Because they don’t know how to contact Sean. After all, Sean is not like William, Hela, Neil, and all the high-level figures in the Void Principality. He has the protection of the Void Dark Blade with him, so he can make short-distance contact and information anytime, anywhere. transfer.

   Therefore, it is tricky for everyone-in fact, if it weren't for William and Cecilia and others to go on the expedition. If the entire Void Principality was in an extremely weak military state at this time, even if Sean was not there, they would not care about these things. After all, the four giants of the void are already loud enough in both their status and status, and it is enough to give face to any one who goes to the king to express condolences-at the time, Sean's return was naturally a thing that made them feel more relaxed.

  In a rather shady reception room, Sean met the Marquis of the false name who was already very familiar with each other.

For a long time, the place where the Marquis of Flores and Sean met was in a meeting room that could be regarded as a formal occasion, but this time the meeting place was changed to the small living room of the master bedroom suite. This is indeed for the Marquis of Flores. Feeling flattered. Because this kind of master bedroom suite meeting room with extremely private nature is not accessible to everyone, only those who are regarded as friends or close to the bedroom owner can enjoy this treatment.

Seeing that the Marquis of Flores, who entered this reception room, did not look as calm and calm as he used to be, but rather a little restrained, Sean laughed a little bit dumbfounded: "Master Flores, seeing you suddenly look so polite. , I’m really not used to it....Come and sit down, I heard Diana said that you are walking in a hurry this way and there is no rest time at all, so first have a glass of red maple wine, which is unique to us here. Let's moisten your throat."

Hearing Sean’s words, Flores realized that he was a little gaffe, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, walked to the bench opposite to Sean, sat down, and took the sweet and sour cup of red maple with one bite. The wine was drunk.

  After letting out a contented sigh, Floris smiled and said, "I was really gaffeed just now.... Thanks to your hospitality, Your Excellency Shaun."

"Is the situation in the royal capital now chaotic?" Xiao En sighed, and then said straightforwardly. At this time, he didn't know why he felt so exhausted, so he didn't want to continue to circle around here. He just wanted to Cut everything directly from the source and solve it.

  Of course, if it were in the past, Sean would definitely not want to do this. But now, he has enough strength, so he can choose the thinking and way of the strong to act, according to his own wishes and rhythm, instead of relying on the way of relying on strength.

The Marquis of Flores was taken aback first, the expression on his face was as if he did not know Sean at all, because in his impression, the Void Grand Duke was not such a direct person, but belonged to the most direct person of the Marquis of Flores. Several difficult types that are unwilling to deal with. Of course, in fact, the Marquis of Flores has never really known Sean. After all, the Marquis of Flores has only had so few contacts with Sean, and each time they come and go in a hurry, there is no such thing. Friendship exchanges in private, otherwise the gaffe of Floris just won't appear.

  The Marquis of Floris did not reply immediately, but looked at the third person in this room.

  Alexis is standing on the side of the reception room. She doesn't look very conspicuous, at least the aura on her body is very gentle, and she doesn't look like a strong person at all. Moreover, in the memory of the Marquis of Flores, no matter what looks or figure is, they can't be compared with the women around Sean. If you must say what is different. That is that this woman has a very unique indifference temperament.

  That seems to be a kind of inherent arrogance. I am afraid that there is nothing in this world that can attract her even the slightest attention.

"This is Alexis, my guard." Sean knew what Floris was thinking, so he said, "She is someone you can trust. So Master Floris, you don't need to avoid her at all. 'S presence."

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Floris finally said, "As you said. Your Excellency. Now the royal capital...no, it should be said that the situation in the kingdom has become very chaotic... …His Majesty the King’s previous physical condition has always been very healthy, but just three months ago, His Majesty suffered a serious illness, and then his body deteriorated very badly. By a month and a half ago, His Majesty fell into a long period of time. Time's coma..."

   "Assassination?" Sean raised his eyebrows. The tone was also a little low.

  For Sean to say this directly, the Marquis of Flores is still very unaccustomed. Weiwei hesitated for a while before continuing: "But not many people know about this. His Majesty the King wanted to make a will to appoint the heir to the kingdom, but... Before the will was finished, His Majesty the King passed out again. After that, the time to wake up is not long. In the end... His Majesty can only rely on alchemy to maintain his life until thirteen days ago..."

  Without the need for Flores to finish speaking, Sean knew what he wanted to say, so he started to fill in for Flores: "I accept the call of the gods, and go to the front of the gods."

  The Marquis of Flores nodded heavily, the expression on his face with indescribable sadness.

  From this point, it is not difficult to see that this should be considered good for the private relationship between monarchs and ministers. Or in other words, the Marquis of Floris is indeed a lone minister who is very loyal to Ingus Lane, otherwise he would not be able to show such sincere sadness.

"Since there is no designated heir... I remember that there seem to be a few very good candidates among His Majesty the King's heirs." Sean pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then...the situation in the kingdom now has fallen into the heir's. Is there any internal friction?"

"Almost." The Marquis of Flores said helplessly, "There are three heirs who are eligible to run for the throne. His Royal Highness the eldest prince Adams has always been brave and has won a brilliant victory in the northern part of the kingdom ten years ago. After that, he had a great influence in the hearts of the northern lords, and this time His Royal Highness Adams returned to the capital with a group of northern lords."

  Sean is not familiar with the so-called princes and princesses of the Lane Kingdom, but the name of the eldest prince Adams, he has also heard Asuna mention it.

This prince does possess extraordinary bravery. He is not a genius in his own right. Now he is over thirty and he has just stepped into the realm of the lower sanctuary. This is because Ryan is annexing Darbion. The phenomenon of "excellent people and spirits" formed after swallowing their national transport together. Although Sean can’t understand this phenomenon, the Miracle Continent does have a unique set of operating rules. This is also the real reason why it is difficult for a big country to be replaced by a small country-at least until the so-called "national fortune" has not decayed. Those big countries do have very unique luck.

  So after Ryan annexed Darbion and was promoted to a first-class kingdom, Ryan Kingdom has indeed given many golden powerhouses who have been stuck at the bottleneck and unable to break through the limit to get promotion opportunities. Today’s Lane Kingdom has more than fifty powerhouses with the sanctuary level, and nearly a dozen of them have the strength of the upper sanctuary-but many of them have flowed in from other countries and were contested by various noble families. The phase hired as a guest.

  The eldest prince Adams stepped into the realm of the lower sanctuary at the age of thirty. He cannot be said to be a genius, but he cannot be said to be a mediocre. In addition, his military attainments can also be regarded as very good. Although he is not ranked among the famous players, there are rumors that he will be able to squeeze into the top 80 at least in the next five years.

   "What about the second one?" Sean asked after filtering through the information of the prince in his mind.

   "It's the third prince Arlan." The Marquis of Flores sighed helplessly. It seems quite ashamed to say this name.

   "The Arlan who is known as the evangelist?" Sean was also a little dazed.

   Gospel evangelist, this name sounds like a powerful one, but it is actually another name with a serious derogatory character.

  The prince is twenty-five years old this year, but not only has no magic talent, but even emperor academics such as martial arts, military strategy, and territorial governance. All know nothing. On the contrary, he is extremely good in art appreciation, food appreciation, and social skills. If only this is the case, at least the ability of diplomatic skills can also enable the prince to obtain a good social status. According to Sean’s understanding, the prince is one of the five foreign envoys of the Kingdom of Lane with an official official status. .

However, the prince, with his excellent diplomatic skills, art, food appreciation, and his handsome beauty inherited from the elf mother, was mixed in the beds of all the ladies and noble ladies in the entire capital, which made this A prince was called a "gospel evangelist" in the circle of these ladies and ladies-when the royal nobles were married. One of the favorite words of many nobles is to ensure that their daughter has never appeared on the same occasion with Prince Arlan.

certainly. In the past few years, the king was indeed fortunate for the prince's departure for a long time. It is said that the bohemian prince left the capital because he was caught in bed with his wife by a marquis of real power. Therefore, in order to save his life, the prince had to flee the king embarrassedly. All--even if the Marquis of Real Power died later, the Prince Arlan would not be able to return, because there were too many nobles who would not welcome him.

  But this time, because of the death of Ingus Lane. So no matter whether the nobles of the royal capital are willing or not, the prince has returned.

  According to the Marquis of Floris. On the day the third prince Arlan returned, all the ladies and noble ladies in the entire capital were thrilled to throw flowers for him, and the unsuspecting people thought it was a knight hero who returned triumphantly. The people and the nobles who knew the truth wanted him to die on the spot-but judging from the physique of a half-elf, it would be impossible for the prince to die abruptly.

   "Why is this prince a contender for the throne?" Shaun couldn't understand at all. "There shouldn't be any nobles to support him, right?"

  "The nobles in the royal capital really won't support him." Marquis Floris gave a wry smile, "but most of the nobles staying in the royal capital are like me."

  Hearing that the Marquis of Floris said this, Sean generally paid attention to it.

  Most of the nobles who hate him are just empty titles. In fact, they can't make any waves about the government at all. And those nobles who have a certain right to speak, they may hate this noble, but in the face of absolute interests, they don’t mind tolerating some absurd things done by the prince, and even Sean dared to pack votes and want to take his daughter There are probably many powerful nobles who married Arlan and pushed Arlan to the throne.

   "Then our evangelist, with which family did His Highness Arlan enter into a marriage relationship?"

"Master Sean, you are as sharp as you always have." Marquis Floris said in a deep voice, "It's...Marquis of Thornweed, Lord Michael Att. On the day Prince Arlan returned, this Marquis was with Arlan. The prince announced together that as early as a few years ago, the majesty had been in love with the seventh daughter of the Marquis of Thorngrass, but because of some accidents, the prince had to leave the capital temporarily. He was planning to get married today, but he did not expect that his majesty would suddenly be married. They were called by the Lord God, so they unanimously decided to wait three years for the two to get married again."

   "Those guys are really not clever." Sean sneered, "I don't need to think about it, I know, the Marquis of Thornweed definitely didn't let go of the original hatred."

"Although I may not say that properly, the so-called core families of the nobles of Sené have regrouped under the banner of thorngrass." The Marquis of Flores sighed, "Since the chaos that year..." Buddha The Marquis of Lorris carefully observed Sean’s expression, and saw that Sean hadn’t said anything, so he continued: "...After that, the Sené nobles completely fell apart, and no one dared to provoke your Excellency. Majesty. But now, because of the declaration of His Royal Highness Prince Arlan, there are more people thinking about it."

"I guess it must include the families that I eliminated during the bad blood plan." Xiao En sneered. "Maybe, there are some side members of the family who survived when I took revenge on the blood flag. Good stuff."

  The Marquis of Floris did not speak, but his silence was actually a tacit consent.

  Sean snorted disdainfully: "A group of clowns."

  Today's Sean does not need to fear these former political enemies and enemies, because he has two super powers, Kozilek and Alexis. As long as they take action, even if the Kingdom of Ryan is mobilized across the country, it will not be enough for these two super powers to crush. Of course, the loss of the Void Principality may not be too light, but the price that the Kingdom of Lane needs to pay for this is probably the subjugation of the country.

   However, if not necessary, Sean does not want to reveal these two hole cards.

  Because Sean knew that his real enemy was not in Lane, but in the Millennium Covenant Empire, in the Kingdom of Fascism, and even the Empire of St. Joels and the Duchy of Lember. If he exposes his hole cards early, it will only make his enemies beware, which is extremely detrimental to future actions.

Especially when Ingus Lane, the king who has always stood in the position of the Void Principality, suddenly died suddenly, Sean could almost imagine that this is probably another conspiracy planned against the Void Principality. Conspiracy. As for Prince Arlan and Prince Adams, it was just by chance that they boarded this stage, preparing for the disguised chess game for the throne.

   Thinking of this, Sean quickly smiled, and then said: "Master Floris, I was almost fooled by you."

  Flores was taken aback for a moment, and then became somewhat shocked: "His Royal Highness, you...what's your answer?"

"As the closest minister of His Majesty the King’s most confidant, I don’t believe that His Majesty the King has not revealed or hinted to you who his ideal heir is." Xiao En smiled calmly, but with a hint of cunning. "With your support, I'm afraid this one is the third most powerful successor to the throne? ... Lord Floris, you are indeed a loyal minister, but you still seem to be a little lacking in your talk as a lobbyist. "

   "No, you are too wise, your Excellency." (to be continued~^~)
