I was put on the throne by the villain【Interstellar】

Chapter 35 Black Skull's Mercenary

Time went back to the day when Lei Zhe robbed his house.

Although it was a little late to get the news, Auston knew later that the two frigates he sent to pick up Lei Zhe had sunk forever in the Xinghai.This not only made His Royal Highness the crown prince furious, but also shocked Auston. They never thought that Lei Zhe would inherit the position of patriarch alive, but they didn't intend to let him die so early.Not only does it appear that they are too eager and easy to fall for the truth, it may even make Gibran catch them and hit them again.Thinking about how such stupid things seem to happen one after another recently, so naturally, the relatives all turned their attention to the instigator, Brian Oston.

Brian, who had been whipped, was extremely wronged. Since his plan to assassinate Dio and Lei Zhe failed twice, and even damaged some of the core strength of the family, his prestige in the clan has declined sharply, even if he finally became the patriarch. The position, the power must also be greatly reduced.In fact, the family has been discussing the use of the ancient system of elders, reducing the power of the patriarch, so as to prevent "a few stupid people from making the iris flower decline."

This time, Brian didn't ask about the matter of sending someone to welcome Lei Zhe from the beginning to the end in order to avoid suspicion.And considering many aspects, the elders of Auston sent two frigates, one into Gibran to pick up people, and one as a support, with sufficient combat power and flexible response to various situations.Coupled with Auston's coat of arms, it should be a smooth journey to bring people back to the Iris Star Field.

In order to investigate the truth and show his innocence, Auston not only sent a cruiser to the border of the Chimera star field to investigate what happened, but also held the Gibran family accountable for their neglect of the safety of the outer domain.Gibran, an eighth-level magic fighter who was busy investigating, died inexplicably. When he heard about it, he thought Auston was touching porcelain. After finding out that it was true, he immediately sent a frigate to investigate the incident.

According to the wreckage of the spaceship left at the scene, it can be judged that a total of three spaceships sank. The two white spaceships should be Auston's frigates, and a small black spaceship has no obvious identification. Judging from the size and model, it looks like a mercenary or a pirate. customary spaceship.

Although due to time, the magic fluctuations left on the scene have dissipated a lot, but the energy leftovers used by the magic cannon can still be measured. It seems that one of the spaceships that attacked Auston was sunk, but Auston also At the cost of one frigate, the other frigate sank significantly later, and it is very likely that it was robbed.It's just that no matter how they searched for traces, they could only find evidence of the remains of four spaceships, and the one that left seemed to have the smallest displacement.

It wouldn't be the small spaceship that sank the two frigates of Auston, robbed one of them, and escaped unscathed in the end, right?The magician of the Gibran family who was in charge of the investigation naturally did not believe this result.To be able to sink two spaceships of the frigate level, at least a spaceship of the same magnitude with multiples or more is required. How can ordinary pirates have such strength.Even if you really encounter that kind of stubble, it is impossible to leave without leaving a trace.

The person in charge of the investigation is more willing to believe that the pirates did it, but the other party erased the traces of the ship. As for why the traces of other ships were erased, and only one spaceship was left behind, it was selectively ignored. .A month later, the light cruiser of the Oston family arrived at the incident site, and after surveying the wreckage at the scene and the magic power fluctuation record data given by the Gibran family, the Auston family also came to the same conclusion, so "Oston The news that the first heir of the Dun family was killed by pirates spread all over the magic net.

At this time, Lei Zhe's small clinic had just opened for business.

The fact that there is a doctor in the stronghold is a big deal for the mercenaries in the entire stronghold.Usually, high-level equipment such as magic doctors can only be possessed by large strongholds, large mercenary groups and pirate groups, and ordinary mercenaries can only go to nearby planets for medical treatment after being injured or sick.

But firstly, it is well known that the medical system of the empire is expensive, and secondly, mercenaries are simply a group of private soldiers wandering in a gray area. Many systems in the empire are dissatisfied, and they are more or less carrying wanted warrants on their bodies. Once they land on a planet, they will be arrested. Therefore, if there is any problem with the body, in most cases, they are resigned to fate.

But now that there is a doctor in the stronghold, it is completely different.The high fees of physicians in strongholds are usually for outsiders, which is commonly known as "slaughtering customers". For their own people, the fees will be much cheaper. This is why large-scale strongholds do not necessarily have doctors, but those with doctors will definitely become large-scale strongholds. .

Therefore, as soon as Lei Zhe's clinic opened, it became a bustling place comparable to a bar. Even the dwarves who were obsessed with inventions and hid on the second floor of the stronghold couldn't help but come to join in the fun, with a stocky figure and lush hair for both men and women Lei Zhe was very interested to see it.

The appearance of the dwarves is worthy of the name, with an average height of about 1.3 meters, and their bodies are very strong. If you look at the horizontal direction regardless of the vertical direction, even women are worth two—of course, the prerequisite is two thin men.Like the orcs, most of the dwarves don't have the talent of magicians. There are one or two in a million, and they can reach the level of human fourth-level magicians at most, just like Raymond.

However, compared to the orc civilization, the dwarf civilization is much longer, and it is also the first civilization to establish diplomatic relations with the human race.Although they lack magical talent themselves, they found another way to use magic power, which coincides with human beings.The two races explored the universe together a long time ago, forming a long and deep friendship.

But now this friendship is on the verge of breaking up.

"During the battle of the elves, we were firmly on the side of the human race! Spaceships and weapons were given to us. When the human race council asked us to disband the council and accept unified command, we agreed without saying a word. But the emperor of the human race ascended the throne Finally, what did you do to us!" The dwarf lady who was leading the way in front of Lei Zhe shook her fist, and her braids stood up in anger.The few dwarves around her nodded one after another, their beards and eyebrows curled up in different shapes, standing upright, very ethnic.

Because there is no magical medical room yet, limbs cannot be repaired for the time being, and some minor ailments do not seem to need to waste that money, so although the clinic is very lively, there is no business.Lei Zhe didn't mind either. After the opening ceremony, as soon as the gate was closed, he went to visit the dwarf workshop with the dwarves he just met.

Lei Zhe resisted the urge to poke the beard and eyebrows of the dwarves, and asked very flatteringly, "How did you do it?"

"He listed us as second-class citizens!" The dwarf lady, Rosalind Steelhammer, waved her fist again, and the fist that covered half of Lei Zhe's face dangled on his chest.

Lei Zhe said with the same hatred: "That's too much!"

"That's right! We have established diplomatic relations with the human race for hundreds of years, and we have jointly explored half of the Silver Hammer galaxy. We are best partners and friends! We don't mind building a country with the human race, but why does he classify us as second-class citizens!" Rosalind danced her fists again, which seemed to be her habitual action.

"Silver Hammer Galaxy?" Lei Zhe asked.

"It's the silver spiral galaxy that the human race said. Oh yes, it's now renamed the sacred galaxy... It's really ugly, it's not as good as the silver spiral galaxy." A dwarf man interrupted and explained.

...not as good as the Milky Way.Lei Zhe hid the twitching of the corners of his lips, and continued to ask: "So you all ran to the mercenary stronghold?"

Speaking of this, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.After a while, Miss Rosalind said in a low voice: "...running is not appropriate, it is better to run away. We dwarves are all descendants of the revolutionary army."

Revolutionary Army... Lei Zhe's eyes flashed, this was the first time he heard this word.Because of Corolla's cultural gap, Lei Zhe basically couldn't find any history books, and the books in Leila's library were all magic books. Even if there were books from other races, they were all magic knowledge, which had nothing to do with history at all. .It was not until he was in Gibran's home library that Lei Zhe saw history-related books for the first time, and discovered two phenomena from them.

One is that the history books describe the history before the establishment of the empire is quite vague.It is said that it was because the human race was once at a disadvantage in the battle of the elves. When the battle line collapsed, it took the lead in abandoning the humanities-related materials, and tried its best to keep the fire of technology; The rebellion in the Griffin Starfield was also because the nobles who controlled the starfield were too brutal, which aroused public anger, and the emperor swung his sword to conquer it.

Whether it is in the official history, or in various unofficial histories, letters, and travel notes, there is no sign of resistance to tyranny|government, as if the people of the empire are hard-working little sheep, and they are still bleating after being shaved and cut. Pulling the huge millstone of the empire to keep spinning.

If the brainwashing work is not done well, all the flames of revolution will be snuffed out in the bud.This can also explain why his cheap father, who is one of the largest feudal nobles in the empire, is also married to another, but he has not taken any action for a long time, and even gave up decisively when he realized that his life was not long. He was extremely cautious.

Lei Zhe looked at the dwarf workshop that gradually unfolded in front of him as the iron door of the elevator opened, and thought silently: Dio, don't worry...

"Dio, what's the matter with you?" Damian Eli Burr looked worriedly at Dio sitting across from him, obviously distracted.At this time, the two of them were sitting on the airship and flew all the way to the palace.

Dio shook his head and said embarrassedly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous..."

Eli smiled, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, Father is a very gentle person. He has always wanted to see you, but he was too busy with government affairs a while ago and couldn't find time, so it was delayed until today."

Diou hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, you are serious! It is my honor for Your Majesty to summon me, I am just afraid that I will offend His Majesty by making a mistake..."

For those who meet for the first time, the tension probably cannot be dissipated no matter what.Eli didn't say anything when he saw this, but pointed out the porthole and said, "Look, Deo, we're here."

Dio turned his head and looked, only to see a white palace appearing at the end of his sight, with red and white flags fluttering in the air - the palace is close at hand.
