The King's Follower [Rebirth]

Now that this question has been raised, it shows that the so-called murder by gangsters was not the real cause of death.Edward sat down again, making a gesture of listening attentively.

August brewed for a while, but when he opened his mouth, he brought up another topic: "Your Highness, do you know Michelle Wilton?"

Edward frowned: "If you don't want to say it, please go out."

"This is very important, Your Highness." Auguste smiled kindly, "The cause of my death is closely related to this person."

Edward carefully went over all the people he knew in his mind, but there was no one with that name.August seems to be trying to direct the conversation, which makes him a little irritated.

"I don't like guessing riddles with people, Sir August." Edward's tone was a little threatening, "I'm telling you very bluntly, I don't like the way you talk to me, if you really want to have sex with me After a conversation, put away these small thoughts. Please remember your identity."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." August put away the carelessness on his face, and sat up straight.Edward has a gentle personality and is usually easy to talk to. However, in August's view, this kind of docile character is actually another way of showing cowardice.But now, the cowardly crown prince unexpectedly became tough when it came to William's throne.He suddenly has more confidence in the shield crown prince.

"Michelle Wilton is not a man of our time," August explained. "In fact, he died 100 years ago. Please take it easy, it makes sense for me to mention him. Michelle Wilton, born in Cuthbert, was a down-and-out inventor who devoted his life to a subject left by his predecessors called an 'absolutely impossible fantasy': the energy cannon .”

Edward knew what an energy cannon was.All the orcs have a powerful attack, because they can store various elements and transform these elements into various offensive magic.The higher the level of the orc, the more elements it stores, the more elements it can convert into offensive magic in the same time, and the greater its destructive power.

For thousands of years, people have been studying how to artificially store elements and transform them into offensive magic, among which the most successful work is the scroll.However, the ability of the scrolls is limited. The most effective scrolls are blasting scrolls, and most of the rest are non-aggressive, such as ice and fire scrolls and sound storage scrolls used to cool down in summer.

During this period, someone once mentioned the concept of energy cannon.The energy cannon is a weapon that can store a large amount of elements and transform them quickly. The creator of the concept was inspired by the magic crystal, and believed that the elements in the world can be stored in certain objects by using the energy storage method of the magic crystal. As in, quick releases generate offensive magic.However, successive generations of researchers have not researched a cheaper energy storage method than magic crystals, and similarly, they have not been able to find a way to quickly release elements to achieve aggressiveness.For thousands of years, research has been stagnant, so the energy cannon has been called "absolutely impossible fantasy" by everyone.

"So, the person you're talking about, he developed an energy cannon?"

"It's not entirely correct to say that." August said, "He didn't develop the finished product of the energy cannon, but he thought of a new idea and discovered a new material. Progress has advanced by more than half."

"Then why hasn't everyone heard of this person's name?" Edward asked, "This kind of discovery is enough to cause a sensation in the entire continent, causing his name to be crowned with the word 'holy'."

"Because he offended an aristocrat before he could publish his research to the world, spent more than 20 years in prison, and was later deported from Cuthbert to the Commonwealth of Doherty His cousin went," August said.

"Wilton dedicated his research results to one of Doherty's officers in order to make ends meet. Doherty's government knows the importance of energy cannons. Once developed, it means that the country's military strength is no longer Only by relying on talented orcs, after a period of training, each orc can control an energy cannon with a destructive power comparable to that of a sixth-level orc, which will greatly enhance the military strength of the country."

Edward narrowed his eyes: "You mean, the Federal Republic of Dougherty has been secretly researching energy cannons all these years?"

August nodded: "They have already produced the finished product."

"How do you know?" Edward stared into his eyes, "You said that this has something to do with your death, don't tell me..."

"I saw it with my own eyes." August showed a smile that was not a smile, "I don't know if Your Highness remembers that we have a Le Pen Manor in the resort of Sol Galle. Two years later, when our family went to When I was on vacation there, out of curiosity, I accidentally discovered the entrance to the basement of the manor, in the basement, I saw the energy cannon, and the provider of the energy cannon, Major General Findlay of Dougherty."

Hearing this, Edward closed his eyes.He thought of the previous life, the family that united with Ablos for rebellion, he was almost forced to marry the other's elderly patriarch in exchange for an alliance, and the heir of that family married a sub-orc from Doherty, and there were two sub-orcs Children were married to Dougherty, and one of them, it seems, was the promising young Major General Findlay.

"Garcia." Edward opened his eyes and said the name of the family, "Your allies, the Garcia family."

"You guessed it right." August nodded, "It's Garcia who will never change. However, it's not our ally, but their ally. Although my surname is Ablos, I play for It belongs to another force. Although the queen, like the king, wants to be a powerful monarch, but the queen doesn't mind using energy cannons."

"What about you?" Edward asked, "You said you don't belong to Ablos, so who do you belong to? Could it be Doherty?"

"Of course not," August smiled. "We belong to the citizens, the citizens of Cuthbert."

Edward sneered and turned to look at the fire.What was originally thought to be an issue of civil strife in the country suddenly involved other countries and turned into a political and military competition between countries.Edward rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache.He never thought that things would develop like this.

"So, what does this have to do with your so-called 'Republic of the Void Monarchs'?" Edward pointed out sharply, "Doherty intends to get involved in Cuthbert, you don't want to resist foreign enemies, but plan to Overthrow the Lancaster family and establish another regime." He said with a sneer, "Obviously he wanted to benefit himself, but he used the unfairness between nobles and commoners as a cover. In this holy place of the church, facing Don’t you feel flustered when you say such hypocritical lies while writing the Hadith?”

"You're right." August said calmly, "We really want to usurp power for profit. War must happen, and through this war, Cuthbert's result is nothing more than a 'false parliament' Or the 'Republic of the Void.' Cuthbert is not a small country like Haraldi's about the size of a Derre, and the 'Parliament of the Void' is a social regression. Well, let's not mention that noble reason." See When Edward sneered again, August waved his hand, as if to wave away what he just said.

"All political parties, all parliamentarians, and all ministers, no one is willing to let their power be taken back by the king." He said frankly, "The king's intention to control the government has been around for a long time. The opposition parties are in a tug-of-war for power with His Majesty, but the king and the nobles who firmly support the king control the country's army, and they cannot compete with the king. Now, with the energy cannon in the world, we can form our own army, Stand up to the king."

Edward took a deep breath, leaned back in the chair, and sorted out what he had just heard.Now, there are three parties including the king in the country. Two parties want to expand the king's power, while the third party wants to take the power away from the king.

"What is the purpose of you telling me this?" He suddenly raised his head and stared at August, "I said, I will not betray William, and your behavior, in my opinion, has nothing to do with treason Different. You tell us so many things, are you not afraid that I will tell the king?"

"So, are you going to continue to be the king's pawn?" August said, "continue to let him hold your life, and when one day he intends to fight Doherty, kill you, pretend Could it be that Doherty's people did it, and then started the war openly?"

"Then I will not betray William." Edward said bluntly, "Please go out and call the other servants in. I want to change my clothes."

"The king can't win." August said calmly. "With the energy cannon, his advantage is gone. If you let the army of the government defeat the army of the king, then there will be no more monarch in this country, my dear." William will never be king again. But if you and William work together with us, we may be able to avoid civil war and transfer power in a peaceful way, and he will still be a king in the future."

Edward looked at him coldly: "You are so confident."

"This is not self-confidence, this is the general trend, my lord." August said.

"When I tell the king all this and let them hang all you traitors, you can talk to me so confidently again."

"You won't." August pointed out calmly, "You don't want to be the king's marionette anymore, and now is a good opportunity, don't you think?"
