A terrible shock broke out in the west of robein's knighthood.
A nephew of Prince Ron died on the way to the sun Shenwu Festival. It is said that this nephew is one of the famous talents in Prince Ron's family. His death has brought another heavy blow to Prince Ron's family, which had suffered a blow two years ago. And more than that, all the other noble teenagers who went to yiroland sun Shenwu festival with the prince Ron family were also killed one after another.
All the bodies were led by a sword.
This crisp way of death also led to the difficulty of investigation, because it was impossible to identify who the murderer was. However, the only certainty is that these people should all have died at the hands of the same force organization - after all, these teenagers died in two different places, almost half a day away from each other. It is impossible to speculate that one person did it.
Because of this, the largest shock in history broke out in the west of robein knighthood.
However, through this turmoil, Sean and Alexis also successfully left the Knights of Robyn - two days had passed when Prince Ron began to order the blockade of all transmission magic arrays in the West. At this time, Sean and Alexis had crossed the border of the Knights of Robyn. After a day's journey, Sean entered the northwest of Ryan kingdom.
Because they succeeded in stopping the leakage of the wind, coupled with the low-key of Sean and Alexis along the way, they did not cause any trouble in the northwest of Ryan kingdom.
However, by the time Sean successfully returned to the void duchy with Alexis, it was the eighth day after he returned from the floating library.
On this day, it happened that kokirei solved rattlesnake UBA and brought the information from Lake to Cecilia. Similarly, it was the same day that William and hassas officially launched an attack on the secret caravan.
The situation of the whole southern continent seems to have fallen into the subtle atmosphere of waves and strange oranges again.
In particular, after Sean returned to the void duchy, what he heard was not good news, but another bad news.
At least for the current empty principality, it is really bad news.
The wise king of the kingdom of Ryan, Angus Ryan, died.
The news was personally sent by the Marquis of Flores.
Because according to the rules, if the king dies, all nobles and lords must go to the king to offer condolences. No matter how important things are going on at this time, even in a state of war, they must stop rushing back to the king for audience, otherwise they will be regarded as treason.
But Sean Connery, the Archduke of the void duchy, was a man who was absolutely not at ease.
In fact, no one knows what the Duke is doing, and how to contact him once he leaves.
Therefore, when Marquis Flores sent the news to the Principality of void, not only the secret envoy of the old king was embarrassed, but also Neil and Haila, who was in charge of the Principality of void at this time. Because they don't know how to contact Sean at all. After all, unlike all the high-level figures of William, Hella, Neil and even the whole void principality, Sean has a void dark blade to protect him, so he can make short-distance contact and information transmission anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, it is difficult for everyone - in fact, if William and Cecilia did not go to war, leading to the extremely weak military state of the whole void duchy at this time, they would not care about these things even if Sean was not here. After all, the four giants of the void are loud enough in both status and status, Any one who goes to the king to offer condolences is enough to give face - when the time comes, Sean's return naturally makes them feel more relaxed.
In a rather shady reception room, Sean met the fictitious Marquis who was already very familiar with each other.
For a long time, the place where the Marquis of Flores and Sean met was in the conference room which was regarded as a formal occasion, but this time the meeting place was changed to the small living room of the master bedroom suite, which really flattered the Marquis of Flores. Because, this master bedroom suite reception room with an extremely strong private nature is not accessible to anyone. Only those who are regarded as friends or close friends by the bedroom owner can enjoy this treatment.
Seeing that the Marquis of Flores, who entered the meeting room, was not as calm as before, but a little restrained, Sean smiled: "Lord Flores, I'm not used to seeing you suddenly so polite Come and sit down. I heard Diana say that you are in a hurry all the way and there is no rest time at all, so first drink a glass of red maple wine unique to us and moisten your throat. "
Hearing Sean's words, Flores realized that he had lost his attitude, so he quickly adjusted his state of mind, went to the bench opposite Sean and sat down, and then drank the sour, sweet and delicious red maple wine in one mouthful.
After a satisfied sigh, Flores smiled and said, "I really lost my temper just now Thank you, sir Sean, for your hospitality. "
"Is the situation in Wangdu very chaotic now?" Sean sighed and said straight to the point. At this time, he didn't know why he felt very tired, so he didn't want to continue to circle here. He just wanted to cut everything directly from the source and solve it.
Of course, if it had been in the past, Sean would not have wanted to do so. But now, he has enough strength, so he can choose the thinking and way of the strong to act according to his own will and rhythm, rather than relying on the way of fighting.
Marquis Flores was stunned at first, and the expression on his face was like he didn't know Sean at all, because in his impression, Sean, the Great Duke of the void, was not such a direct person, but belonged to several difficult types that Marquis Flores was most reluctant to deal with. Of course, in fact, marquis Flores never really knew Sean. After all, marquis Flores and Sean had only a few contacts, and each time they came and went in a hurry. There was no private friendship at all. Otherwise, there would be no faux pas just now.
Marquis Flores did not reply immediately, but looked at a third person in the room.
Alexis was standing on one side of the reception room. She didn't look very conspicuous. At least her breath was very gentle and didn't look like a strong man at all. And neither looks nor figure can be compared with the women around Sean in the memory of marquis Flores. If there is anything special, it is that this woman has a very unique indifference.
It seemed to be an innate pride. I'm afraid nothing in the world could attract her slightest attention.
"This is Alexis, my escort." Sean knew what Flores was thinking, so he opened his mouth and said, "she is an absolutely trustworthy person. So Lord Flores, you don't need to avoid her presence at all. "
"All right." After a moment of silence, Flores finally said, "as you said, Archduke, now the king... No, it should be said that the situation of the Kingdom has become very chaotic His majesty has been in good health before, but just three months ago, his majesty suddenly fell seriously ill, and then his body deteriorated very badly. One and a half months ago, his majesty fell into a long coma... "
"Assassination?" Sean's eyebrows picked and his tone was a little low.
Marquis Flores was not used to Sean saying this so directly. He hesitated for a moment before continuing: "but not many people know it. His majesty wanted to make a will to appoint the heir to the Kingdom, but... Before the will was finished, his majesty passed out of consciousness again, and it was not long before he could wake up. In the end... His majesty could only rely on alchemy to maintain his life until 13 days ago... "
Sean knew what he wanted to say without having to finish what Flores said, so he opened his mouth to finish what Flores said: "thanks for the call of the gods, go to the throne."
Marquis Flores nodded heavily, with an unspeakable sadness on his face.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that the private relationship between kings and officials should be good. In other words, marquis Flores is indeed a lonely minister who is very loyal to Angus Ryan. Otherwise, he could not show such sincere sadness.
"Since no heir has been appointed... I remember that there seem to be some very excellent candidates among his Majesty's descendants." Sean pondered for a moment, and then said, "so... Is the situation in the Kingdom falling into the internal friction of the heir?"
"Almost." Marquis Flores said reluctantly, "there are three heirs qualified to compete for the throne. His highness Adams, the eldest prince, has always been brave and powerful. Since he won a brilliant victory in the north of the kingdom ten years ago, he has had a great influence in the eyes of the northern Lords. This time, his highness Adams returned to the king's capital together with a number of northern Lords. "
Sean is not familiar with the so-called princes and princesses in Ryan Kingdom, but he has heard yasna mention the name of the long Prince Adams.
His Highness the prince does have extraordinary bravery. He is not a genius himself. Now that he is over 30, he has just stepped into the realm of the next Holy Land. This is because Ryan formed the phenomenon of "human outstanding spirit" after annexing dabion and swallowing his national fortune together. Although Sean can't understand this phenomenon, the miracle continent does have a unique set of rules, which is the real reason why it is difficult for big countries to be replaced by small countries - at least before the so-called "national luck" has not declined, those big countries do have very unique luck.
Therefore, after Ryan annexed dabion and upgraded to a first-class Kingdom, the kingdom of Ryan has indeed given many gold giants who have been stuck in the bottleneck and unable to break through the limit opportunities for promotion. In today's Ryan Kingdom, there are more than 50 strong people with the level of the holy land, of which nearly a dozen have the strength of the upper Holy Land - but many of them flow from other countries and are hired by various noble families.
The eldest prince Adams entered the realm of the next Holy Land at the age of 30. He can't be said to be a genius, but he can't be said to be a mediocre. Moreover, in addition, his military attainments can also be called very excellent. Although he has not been listed in the list of top generals, it is rumored that he can be ranked in the top 80 at least in the next five years.
"What about the second?" Sean asked after filtering through the prince's information in his mind.
"It's Arlan, the third prince." Marquis Flores sighed helplessly, as if ashamed to say the name.
"Alain, who is known as the Evangelist?" Sean was also a little stunned.
The name evangelist sounds very powerful, but it is actually a nickname with a serious derogatory nature.
His royal highness is 27 years old, but not only does he have no magic talent, but he even knows nothing about Imperial learning such as martial arts, military strategy and territorial management. Instead, he is excellent in art appreciation, food appreciation and social ability. If that's all, at least his diplomatic skills can enable the prince to obtain a good social status. According to Sean's understanding, his highness is one of the five foreign envoys with official status in Ryan kingdom.
However, with his excellent diplomatic skills, works of art, food appreciation and his beautiful appearance inherited from the elf mother, his royal highness wandered in the beds of all ladies and ladies in the whole royal capital. Therefore, his highness was called the "evangelist" - when the royal nobles married in the royal capital, One of the favorite words of many nobles is to ensure that their daughter never appears on the same occasion as Prince Arlan.
Of course, in the past few years, Wang has been really happy for a long time because of the prince's departure. It is said that the dissolute Prince left the royal capital because he was caught in bed with his wife by a powerful marquis. In order to save his life, the prince had to flee the royal capital in embarrassment - even if the powerful Marquis died later, the prince of arland could not come back, Because too many nobles don't welcome him.
But this time, because of the death of Angus Ryan, the prince has returned whether the nobles want it or not.
According to the Marquis of Flores, on the day when the third prince Arlan returned, all the ladies and ladies of the whole King were excited to throw flowers for him, and the uninformed people thought that which Knight Hero returned triumphantly. Those people and nobles who knew about it wanted him to die suddenly on the spot - but judging from the semi elf constitution, it is unlikely to let his highness die suddenly.
"Why did the prince become a candidate for the throne?" Sean couldn't understand. "There shouldn't be any nobles supporting him?"
"The nobles in the royal capital will not support him." Marquis Flores smiled bitterly, "but most of the nobles who stayed in the royal capital were like me."
When Marquis Flores said this, Sean generally ignored it.
Most of the nobles who hated him just had an empty title. In fact, they couldn't turn over any waves for the government. Those nobles who have a certain voice may hate the nobleman, but in the face of absolute interests, they don't mind tolerating some absurd things made by the prince. I'm afraid there are not few powerful nobles who dare to bet that Sean wants to marry his daughter to Arlan and push Arlan to the throne.
"So which family did our evangelist, his highness Alain, marry?"
"Lord Sean, you are as sharp as ever." Marquis Flores said in a deep voice, "yes... Marquis of thorn grass, Lord Michael Aite. On the day of Prince Arlan's return, the Marquis and Prince Arlan announced that as early as a few years ago, his highness fell in love with the seventh daughter of the Marquis of thorn grass. Just because of some accidents, his highness had to leave the royal capital temporarily. He was supposed to get married today, but unexpectedly, his Majesty was suddenly called by the LORD God, So they unanimously decided to wait three years before they got married. "
"Those guys are really not smart." Sean sneered, "don't think about it. I know that the Marquis of thorn grass certainly didn't put down his hatred."
"Although it may not be appropriate for me to say so, the so-called core families of sene aristocrats in the past have gathered under the banner of thorn grass." Marquis Flores sighed, "since the chaos in those years..." Marquis Flores carefully observed Sean's look and saw that Sean didn't say anything, so he continued: "... After that, the nobles in Senegal completely disintegrated, and no one dared to challenge your majesty, Archduke. But now, because of the declaration of his Highness Prince Alain, there are more people with other thoughts. "
"Let me guess, it must include those families that I eradicated during the bad blood plan." Sean sneered, "maybe there are some family members who survived my blood flag revenge."
Marquis Flores did not speak, but his silence was actually a kind of acquiescence.
Sean sneered with disdain: "a group of clowns."
Today's Sean really doesn't need to be afraid of these former political enemies and enemies, because he has two super strong men, kokirei and Alexis. As long as they make a move, even the national mobilization of Ryan kingdom is not enough for these two super giants to crush. Of course, the loss of the void principality may not be too light, but the price Ryan Kingdom needs to pay for this is probably the subjugation of the country.
However, if not necessary, Sean didn't want to uncover these two cards.
Because Sean knew that his real enemy was not Ryan, but in the Millennium covenant Empire, the * * * Kingdom, even the St. Joels Empire and the Principality of rumbel. If he reveals his cards early, it will only make his enemies beware, which is extremely unfavorable to his future actions.
Especially when Angus Ryan, the king who has always stood in the camp of the void principality, suddenly died, Sean can almost imagine that this is a conspiracy against the void principality planned by some conspirator. As for what, Prince Alan and Prince Adams just stepped on the stage by chance and prepared for the throne competition.
Thinking of this, Sean soon smiled and said, "Lord Flores, I was almost cheated by you."
Flores was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little shocked: "Your Highness, how do you understand this?"
"As his Majesty's closest confidant, I don't believe that his majesty hasn't revealed and hinted to you who his ideal successor is." Sean smiled calmly, but with a trace of cunning, "with your support, I'm afraid this is the third most powerful successor to the throne Lord Flores, you are indeed a loyal minister, but when you are a lobbyist, it seems that you still lack enthusiasm. "
"No, sir, you are too wise."
