Struggling to survive in the hands of the male protagonist who also wears books

Hearing these words, Earl Heyman's expression changed indiscernibly, and it seemed to be a hallucination in the dim tavern.Then he replied in a low voice: "The family has not issued instructions yet, maybe the patriarch and the others are still watching and investigating."

After getting a disappointing answer, Banner Kane cursed in a low voice, then sighed, took another sip of beer, and just about to take another sip, he suddenly looked at Earl Heyman suspiciously: "I said, What are you doing touching me?"

"What?" Earl Heyman didn't understand what the old friend in front of him was saying, "When will I touch you—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Earl Heyman felt a strange touch on his shoulder, as if someone had put his hand on his shoulder.

who? !

This made Earl Heyman's hair stand on end, who had been tense for half a month. With a "swish", he pulled out a dagger from between his cowhide boots, and slashed at the place where his shoulder was touched!

Before the dagger landed on his shoulder, it was gently clamped by two fingers that suddenly appeared.The seemingly simple gesture of putting two fingers together made Earl Heyman exhausted all his strength and failed to pierce the dagger.

There was a chuckle in the air, and a familiar magnetic voice sounded: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Earl Heyman's skills are really getting better and better."

Then Earl Heyman saw as if the illusion had faded before his eyes, ripples surged in the air, and two figures appeared in front of him: the one holding the dagger with two fingers so that he couldn't draw it at all, it seemed to be the crown prince back then. The male lover next to His Highness; and the tall figure standing beside him with a smile is exactly His Highness Crete that they are looking for now!

"Hall, highness, highness?!" The chancellor of finance, Banna Kane, who didn't know any magic and martial arts, looked at the two big living people who suddenly appeared in front of him, stunned for a moment, and then stammered and shouted in surprise, "Long time no see , are you okay?!"

Critter and Fili looked at each other, and after confirming that there was no mind control in the two people in front of them in the test results of their respective systems, they smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Banner Kane, you look so handsome after losing weight, don't you?" few."

The Minister of Finance was mentioned again about his figure, and he smiled dryly: "Hehe, Your Highness is really overrated."

When Earl Heyman saw that it was Critter, he felt a sense of surprise in his heart. Although he was pissed off by Critter during the time he worked with Critter, it was only because of the spokesperson of the Phoenix family. It’s nothing more than internal conflicts with the heirs of the royal family. Emperors of all ages have played this kind of little trick of coming and going, and he doesn’t really care about it; but when it comes to the foundation of the empire, Earl Heyman is very much looking forward to the emergence of Crete as soon as possible. , so that they can figure out what happened in the palace back then!

Seeing the expressions of the two important imperial ministers in front of him, Critter felt a little warmer, and said with a smile, "I hope Earl Heyman doesn't mind me following all the way here."

"Forget it this time, and I hope His Highness will inform you in advance next time." Although he was happy in his heart, Earl Heyman habitually put on a serious and rigid face, and coughed, "Your Highness, please sit down."

Critter was naturally aware of Earl Heyman's character of dying if he didn't pretend to be aggressive, so he smiled and took Philip to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Earl Heyman asked in a tone that he thought he was serious but actually couldn't wait: "Your Highness, what happened back then? Where have you been these few months?"

Krit raised his eyebrows habitually, looked at Earl Heyman with a smile, and seemed to speak casually, but what he said surprised Earl Heyman: "Before answering your question, may I ask... ...In what capacity are you asking these questions? Are you a subject of my Phoenix Empire, or the spokesperson of the Phoenix family?"

Earl Heyman's face froze, and the excitement and anxiety he felt when he saw Crete suddenly cooled down.

Banner Kane looked at his old friend's face with some anxiety, and felt that something was wrong—the royal family and the Phoenix family have always had conflicts over power struggles. .Anyway, it was only the two branches of the blood of His Majesty Phoenix I who were fighting, and had almost nothing to do with ordinary nobles.

It's just that, in the past, this kind of struggle was hidden and quiet, and under the polite mutual greetings, it was rare to directly bring it to the table like His Highness Crete.

My old friend, shouldn't he be refuted by the young people, and become angry for a while?

What the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not expect was that Earl Heyman, who always paid special attention to his image and face, actually smiled wryly, with an unconcealable despondency visible to the naked eye:

"Naturally, as a courtier of the empire—the myth of the Phoenix family standing...I'm afraid it will collapse soon."

what?

Banner Kane's eyes widened, and for a moment he didn't understand the meaning of Earl Heyman's words.

Earl Hayman originally thought that His Royal Highness Crete would show the same shock and disbelief as his old friend, but he did not expect that the young former Crown Prince would look at the handsome boy beside him, showing no emotion at all. , just nodded thoughtfully:

"It seems that something happened to the Phoenix family, can you ask Earl Heyman to explain in detail?"

Earl Heyman glanced at Banner Kane who was completely stunned beside him, sighed, and slowly talked about the changes in the Phoenix family in the past few months.

According to the customs of the Phoenix Empire, the succession of the new emperor requires Kenneth Phoenix, the patriarch of the Phoenix family, to crown the emperor; banquet.

At first, everyone thought that it was the patriarch Kenneth who was dissatisfied with His Majesty Danyat—after all, His Majesty Danyat had always been idle and promiscuous before His Majesty Rafe II's accident, and had never touched any government affairs at all. ; But as time went by, the people of the Phoenix family found that the number of times they could contact the patriarch became less and less.

At the same time, people in the Phoenix family and the royal family began to disappear inexplicably.The missing people included not only young children, but also old people who had already taken care of themselves. Even a member of the Phoenix family who broke through the sub-sage in recent years also disappeared inexplicably.

This made the people in the Phoenix family panic.

Patriarch Kenneth is a very rigid and rigorous old man. He will not leave the important place of the Phoenix family easily. Even if he has to go out on important matters, he will arrange things in an orderly manner without any negligence.

Why did such a person suddenly lose his voice?

Why did the members of the family suddenly and mysteriously disappear?

The people in the family bravely entered the place where the patriarch Kenneth entered last - the underground temple dedicated to the immortal body of Phoenix I, the founding emperor of the Phoenix Empire. They were surprised to find that they should have been lying quietly in the crystal ice coffin The body of His Majesty Phoenix I has disappeared!

The body of His Majesty Phoenix I sleeping in the temple, and the only holy patriarch of the family guarding the temple, the core of the two families disappeared together, causing the Phoenix family to panic. Different people competed for the family treasure, and the entire Phoenix family became torn apart.

Although Earl Hayman is the spokesperson of the Phoenix family, but because he is also an important minister of the empire, he basically does not live in the family at ordinary times. To decline.

After saying all this, Earl Heyman seemed to have unloaded a huge rock in his heart, and his shoulders collapsed. He seemed to be relieved and sighed. And Jin: "Your Highness, the situation of the family is like this."

The faces of Philip and Critter became a little more serious - after returning to the imperial capital, Critter contacted the remnants of his forces and obtained a little bit of information, knowing that the imperial capital has now fallen into a crisis because of Danyate's unscrupulousness. In the huge chaos, it was also guessed from Danyate's state that there was no one under the jurisdiction that something might happen to the Phoenix family, but I didn't expect the situation to be so bad!

In the original book, the Black Phoenix almost demolished the entire Phoenix family is a matter of the late stage, and even so, at least the patriarch Kenneth of the holy rank managed to escape!

And now, there is no doubt that the corpses of the Holy Patriarch and His Majesty Phoenix I have fallen into the hands of Krisina who harbors a deep hatred for the Phoenix bloodline!

The curse on the phoenix came from the three drops of phoenix blood essence. The drop from Evernight Tundra had already been used on Fili. The problem must be in one of the drop on the phoenix ring and the drop in the body of Phoenix I. !

And now, both of these things are in the hands of Krisina.

Crete frowned, tapped the wooden wine table with two fingers, and stared into Earl Heyman's eyes: "I understand the details, but I still have one question."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"Everyone in the family was torn apart and fled with their treasures. Why are you still here, Earl Hayman? Even if you are not interested in the wealth of the family, you should worry about whether you will be the next missing person." Bar?"

Earl Heyman did not expect Crete to ask this question, he was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Perhaps His Highness thinks that I am trying to lose face... But since I, Heyman, is the spokesperson of the family and the representative of the empire, The Minister of Foreign Affairs, of course, represents the image of the family and the empire—if I escape, doesn’t it mean that our Phoenix family and our Phoenix Empire have no successors? Unless His Majesty and the Patriarch re-appoint a new successor, I will Man Phoenix will never leave his post without authorization! No matter who is behind the scenes, if you want to attack me, just do it!"

Crete took a serious look at the Earl, who has always been known for his good face and pretentiousness, and smiled with a lot of sincerity: "Then I have to say, this is the most glorious moment in my heart for you. "
