The hall is brightly lit and laughter
My return of peace dispelled the sorrow that had been shrouded in Beppu for many days, and everyone seemed to find happiness again
During the meal, Alanzo briefly described the experiences of him, Yurilu and Fei Bing that night.
Only then did I realize that the few leaders sitting around Chago at that time, except for the charming woman who was solved by me, all the other three people were not spared. The terrifying outbreak of the Darkness of Destruction.
Fortunately, Alanzo used the unique spiritual sense of the human great magician to discover the approaching crisis earlier and launched the Wind-type advanced defensive magic. Wind Barrier
However, even the most outstanding magician of human beings could not resist the power of the Darkness of Destruction and the Barrier of Wind was eventually broken by the powerful dark energy. Alanzo and the other two fainted one after another and were seriously injured.
What happened later was Roy told me that when they followed Deborah's 1,000 cavalry to attack in front of Chago camp, a rumbling thunder suddenly came from the sky. In the moment when everyone was surprised, a crack was suddenly split by lightning.
A black lightning flashed from the sky, and then a black fog burst out from the camp
For a moment, the sky collapsed and the earth was broken, the mountains and rivers were dim, and the Gobi under your feet trembled violently, as if the end of the world was coming
People stared blankly at the black fog spreading around, sweeping across the entire camp in an instant
Strangely, everyone could not hear any sound in their ears, but the black light kept swallowing all the scenery around them.
The scene was strange and terrifying, Roy's voice was trembling when he spoke involuntarily.
The soldiers began to run away, and the other two teams of the Black Flag regiment who arrived after hearing the news also fled desperately.
The bloody battle I originally thought was avoided due to a sudden catastrophe, but I don’t know if it was a blessing or a misfortune?
It was not until dawn that the black fog gradually dissipated. General Debo led his reunited subordinates back to the camp of the Black Flag regiment to check, hoping to find me, Alanzo and others.
However, looking at the whole world, it was like a hell on earth.
Although the sun has already appeared, the smoke and black fog that enveloped the camp for a long time, and the camp is still dark.
Debo and others found the injured and unconscious Alanzo in the ruins, but they did not find me until dark. I thought I was like Chago and others and turned into dust.
Debo wanted to give up, but he had no choice but to continue searching for Feiya, Xihanya, An Ludi and others insisted on continuing to search, so everyone stayed in the ruins for two days, and finally they were completely desperate.
When they arrived at the Temple City with infinite sorrow, the Knights Templar who were waiting in front of the city gate bound him and his five commanders to prison in accordance with His Majesty Jiaxiu's will, without waiting for Debor to enter the city.
It has been more than half a month so far
Of course, I was also asked about the rescue
I didn't say that it was activated by myself. The mysterious stone house owner activated the powerful dark magic to rescue me from the encirclement of the Black Flag Group.
Because I was also injured, I stayed for some time and did not arrive at the imperial capital until today
No doubt about my narrative, including Alanzo,
Although they have all seen my powerful strength, they will never believe that such a terrifying dark ultimate magic came from me, and those who saw it were already destroyed.
After all, that has surpassed the limits of humanity, even the elders in the temple may not be able to do it.
Therefore, my explanation seems more reasonable
Everyone's topic naturally shifted from me to the mysterious stone house owner
Alanzo Suo browed and said: What is the identity of the owner of that stone house? If it were really the ultimate dark magic he launched, even the dark wizard could not match who he was. He had such terrible strength?
Everyone looked at each other silently, and I saw a hint of coldness in their eyes. If the owner of the stone house really had such terrifying power, it would be a breeze to create a killing.
Unless the elders of the Temple of Labor take action, no one can escape the disaster
I sneered in my heart. Facing a power that is far stronger than myself, most of the time, humans think of how to avoid and find shelter, but forget that they can work hard to make themselves become equally powerful and face it directly.
Roy spoke: No matter what, he saved his master, probably because he had no malice towards us, right?
I said calmly: What is the identity of the owner of the stone house? Why should I save me? I can discuss it later. Now I am concerned about who instructs the Black Flag Group to kill me, and even dispatches thousands of horse teams?
Everyone looked at me in shock again, and the Duke of Jinsha asked in confusion: Your Highness, what do you mean is that the target of the Black Flag Group is not Debo, but you?
I sneered: I saw Chago with his own eyes holding my portrait to offer a reward of 10,000 gold coins to his subordinates to kill me. He has never had any grudges with me, so why did he do this?
Recalling the scene that night, Alanzo suddenly said: No wonder he could say the owner's name in one mouthful, so that's it
Yurilu snorted: It must be this thief Kaoran, only he will kill his master and then go quickly
Fei Bing shook his head and said: Kaolan may have this intention, but with his strength, it seems that the Black Flag Group cannot be driven, let alone how did he grasp our whereabouts so accurately and contact Chago earlier?
An Ludi asked: Who else will be there?
Alanzo sighed: Unfortunately, Chago and several important leaders are dead, otherwise the answer can be found in them.
I sneered and my eyes fell on the face of the Duke of Sands
A shocking and suspicious light flashed in the Duke of Sands' eyes, I knew he had an answer in his heart
No matter who it is, if you want to drive the Black Flag Group to dispatch three or four thousand people to serve him, you will definitely have an extremely huge power in Monston.
I doubt even if the Black Flag Group is known as the No. 1 bandit group of Monston, it should not have the size of at least three or four thousand horses
People and horses are different. Three or four thousand people can be recruited every day, but three or four thousand well-trained war horses are definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.
What's more, to maintain such a huge supply consumption, there must be enough financial support.
I don't believe that no one secretly supports the Black Flag Group behind the scenes that are as beautiful as it is today
Thinking of the Black Flag Group's many years of storm, although it has been repeatedly suppressed, its momentum has not faded. It is not difficult to know the mystery.
There will definitely be no more than ten people with such strength in Monston
In addition to His Majesty Jiaxiu, his three princes are the biggest suspicions
Therefore, the Duke of Sands showed a rare shock
However, what is also incomprehensible is why the person hiding behind the Black Flag Group wanted to kill me?
But at least it shouldn't be a battle for power, because in my capacity, it wouldn't be possible that their status would be threatened
The Duke of Sands said in a deep voice: No matter who it is, if you fail this time, you will definitely take action against Your Highness in the future. You must be careful when traveling in the future. Never make any mistakes again.
I smiled and said: I understand, but I am really sorry that this has implicated the Duke and General Deborah.
The Duke of Jinsha snorted and said: Your Highness, don’t take it to heart. The Black Flag Group was originally my mortal enemy. Although Chago was dead this time, the remaining party was still alive. I will not let them go no matter what!
I know my plan has taken effect. The Duke of Sands has made his position and stood with me
Although it was not stated clearly, he and I were both ignorant of whom the so-called remnants meant.
Of course, he didn't stand up for me, but was angry that the other party completely ignored Debo's life and death and his own face, intercepted me under his protection.
For this hero who is dominating the side, it is undoubtedly a great insult and offense.
Even if the other party is really a royal prince, an important minister of the palace, the Duke of Jinsha may not be willing to give up.
And one of the ways to go against me is to protect me, and even support me fully in Monston's court
I pretended to be relaxed: If you don’t talk about this, what is General Debo’s current situation?
Speaking of son, Duke of Sands suddenly became heroic
He sighed and said: What else can I do? I have been detained for more than half a month, and His Majesty did not say what to do.
I sneered slightly in my heart, and I understood that His Majesty Jiaxiu would never kill the beloved son of an important minister for a so-called grandson who was in trouble. Now I am just pretending to wait for the opportunity to go down the stairs.
Duke, haven't you pleaded with His Majesty? I asked
What love do you ask for? The Duke of Jinsha said: Everything is caused by his dereliction of duty. If Your Highness is really unfortunately killed, I will have no shame to see Your Majesty, so why would I plead for you?
I smiled slightly and said: Since this is the case, why don’t we go to the palace to meet His Majesty immediately, and ask him to release General Debo
The Duke of Jinsha's eyes lit up and then said: Your Highness should rest early, and it's the same for you to see Your Majesty tomorrow morning. Anyway, you have returned safely, so don't worry about it.
I smiled and said: No need, if Your Majesty didn't take a break early, we'd better go immediately
The Duke of Sands knew that I did this to let Debo come back and reunite as soon as possible, and said in a touching manner: This will bring you your highness.
I stood up calmly, knowing that in the days to come, there will be a strong support behind me, and I will never be the influential prince.
Monston Palace is located in the center of the Temple City, where two avenues that run across the city meet and intersect
The palace in the night is like a giant beast crawling on the ground, majestic and majestic
Duke Jinsha and I waited in front of the main entrance of the palace for a moment before we received the summons from His Majesty Jiaxiu. It is said that he had just finished his dinner and immediately ordered a meeting in his private study when he heard the news of my safe arrival.
After three rigorous inspections, I and the Duke of Sands entered the study.
In the bright lights, a white-haired old man sat behind the desk with dignity and his bright eyes stared at me from the first moment I walked into the room.
Although his appearance looks a little old, his calm and mighty style still reminds people of his heroic spirit back then
I know that he is one of the most powerful figures in Xilan Continent, Emperor Meng Sidun Jiaxiu, His Majesty
Without asking more questions, the feeling of just one glance is enough to be sure. What exudes from him is a kingly style that no one can possess.
On his side was a middle-aged man. Although he was wearing luxurious royal robes, he was like a fire under the sun and was not worth mentioning compared to Xiu Jia.
What attracted my attention was a middle-aged man standing behind His Majesty Jiaxiu. His clothes were extremely simple and almost no different from those of the civilians on the street.
He has a medium figure and an ordinary appearance, and at first glance there is nothing surprising.
But I noticed that only his eyes revealed some flaws.
When I walked into the study, I looked at him silently, as if it were intentional or unintentional.
His originally dim eyes suddenly disappeared with a flash, but he did not escape my eyes.
I was shocked and immediately realized that the middle-aged man standing behind His Majesty Jiaxiu was a master of the master. With Yurilu's strength, I'm afraid I can't walk ten moves under his sword.
What's even more terrifying is his restrained aura, which shows that this person has reached the realm of returning to nature, and the so-called Paladins in the world may not be able to compete with him.
Such a strange figure is worthy of a temple in only one place!
His Majesty!
The Duke of Jinsha's burly body fell to the ground and said respectfully: I will bring Prince Xiu Lan.
Xiu Lan? His Majesty Jia Xiu's voice is old and hoarse, but it still has irresistible majesty: This is the first time I have seen my grandson since you were born to this year's death.
A faint smile on the corner of my mouth replied: Maybe I should thank Kaolan. If it weren't for him, I might not have seen His Majesty in another nineteen years.
Xiu Lan, why don’t you kneel down and reply? The middle-aged man sitting upright shouted in a low voice, "I glanced coldly on his pale and haggard face because of his excessive squandering, and didn’t say anything."
No need, there are no outsiders here, everyone sits down and talks. His Majesty Jiaxiu said with sincerity
We sat down in the preset space, and His Majesty Jiaxiu sighed softly and said: Thank you for your Ji Yan, Xiu Lan, but I am already seventy years old, I am afraid I will not be able to live for 19 years and be old, so I should give up the place for young people.
His tone has a bit of a heroic twilight taste, but I'm trying to figure out what I mean in my words
Sure enough, the middle-aged man said in panic: Don’t say that, Father, you will live to be one hundred years old and your son’s happiest thing.
If I guess correctly, he should be one of the three princes who are most promising to inherit the throne. Judging from his appearance, he may be the eldest prince Ott
The Duke of Sands also hurriedly said: Your Majesty is healthy and healthy. Not to mention nineteen years, living past 100 years will not be a problem.
His Majesty Jiaxiu laughed and said: Don't say enough good things. It's rare for Ute to live to be as old as me. I have never heard of the elders in the temple who have lived past 100 years, and I am not afraid of death. I have been sitting in this position for forty years and have become a little bored.
Father?
His Majesty!
Xiu Lan, what do you think? Jiaxiu ignored Ott and the Duke of Sands, looked at me and asked kindly: I heard that you have died almost once, are you really scary to tell me?
I said calmly: Death is not terrible. What your Majesty is that life is worse than death, it is a walking corpse
Well said! Jiaxiu's eyes shone brightly and he praised loudly: I am a descendant of Jiaxiu. At this age, I have seen through the way of life and death
There was no smug expression on my face. In my heart, I have always rejected Xiu Lan's identity. Of course, I can't really regard Jia Xiu as my grandfather.
Although he is the lord of the empire, he is still no different from others in my eyes.
The only thing that makes me feel moved is that his mind and demeanor is only worthy of being a king.
Unfortunately, your mother can't see what's going on today. Jiaxiu suddenly sighed in a low voice: She is one of my favorite daughters, but she has a poor life. She died of illness less than a year after giving birth to you. Otherwise, she should be thirty-six years old this year.
If I remember correctly, Morent, the former king of Biarrell, was at least sixty years old
Jiaxiu kept saying that he loved his daughter, but married her far away to a man who was over 20 years older than his twenties. Everything was just for politics.
Ott, who was standing beside him, said hypocritically: I still remember the age of my father, but I really touched us as children.
Jiaxiu smiled and said: Don’t you remember my 70th birthday, and you still have to do it in a big way?
Ott hurriedly said: This is the filial piety that the children should do.
His Majesty Jiaxiu's eyes returned to me and said: I heard that something happened to you before. I can't sleep peacefully for almost a few days. You are the only blood left by your mother in this world. If you can't even protect you, what can I, the Emperor of Monston, have to boast about?
I thought to myself, maybe the last sentence is what Jia Xiu really thinks?
The Black Flag Regiment attacked you? His Majesty Jiaxiu said: I have ordered the Marquis of John, the governor of Lester County, to clear the remnants of the Black Flag Regiment within a time limit. Although Chago is dead, that is only his luck. I will not let go of any other Yu Ni
Duke of Jinsha said: Your Majesty, as far as I know, the real goal of the Black Flag Group is actually Prince Xiulan. Their leader Chago once took out the portrait of Prince Xiulan and offered a reward of 10,000 gold coins.
A cold light shot out from Jiaxiu's eyes and stared at the Duke of Jinsha and said: Is there really such a thing, can you be sure?
A person like Duke of Sands can't help but look down and dare not look at each other, but answered with a positive tone: I can be sure
Jiaxiu pondered: The Black Flag Group and Biarrel have never had any contact, so why did Xiulan be involved?
Suddenly, he snorted coldly, obviously having some understanding
But he said as if nothing happened: I will send someone to find out about this matter, but Xiu Lan, what are your plans for the future?
I said calmly: I will follow His Majesty's orders
Jiaxiu said slowly: Twenty days ago, Kaoran of Biarrel held the throne ceremony. At that time, I thought you were no longer alive, so I also sent envoys to attend. If I had already recognized him now, you will return safely, and I should have sent troops to avenge you and restore your country, but
I understood that his words were long as I expected, and I said lightly: I can wait for the restoration of the country, and I don’t want to use someone else’s hand to complete Kaolan’s head. I want to take it back in person.
His Majesty Jiaxiu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: OK, ambitious! If you want to restore the country in the future, if you have any requests, just speak to me, and I will help you with all my strength.
Thank you! I bowed my body slightly. Although His Majesty Jiaxiu's words sound touching, they are actually not harmful to him at all.
If one day I really want to rely on my own strength to restore the country, the most he can help is only logistics supply.
If the country is restored successfully, he will not abandon one soldier and one soldier and return to a friendly vassal state, otherwise there will be no losses.
His Majesty Jiaxiu said with emotion: You are my grandson. It has made me uneasy that you cannot send troops to restore the country. Why do you thank me? Fortunately, you know that as the lord of the empire, there are difficulties in not being able to do anything for foreigners. In fact, I should thank you.
It seemed that he remembered something, His Majesty Jiaxiu said again: It seems that you have to stay in Monston for a while, I need to arrange it for you
The Duke of Jinsha said: Your Majesty, Prince Xiulan and his subordinates are living in my Beppu, and I will take good care of it.
His Majesty Jiaxiu smiled and said: I don’t mean that. You misunderstood about how to arrange Xiu Lan. Let me think about it tonight and announce it tomorrow at the morning meeting.
Ott said with concern: Father, it’s not too early, it’s time for you to rest
His Majesty Jiaxiu nodded and said: OK, that's all I'll talk about tonight. It's been a long time since I've been chatting with people so happily.
Xiu Lan, let the Duke of Sands take you to attend tomorrow's morning meeting
I was stunned and nodded: Yes, Your Majesty!
The conversation ended. When the Duke of Sands and I walked out of the palace, it was already full of stars, and the night wind blew on my face to bring a coolness.
The career of the imperial capital will begin here, and every day in the future will be my journey to realize my destiny.
My return of peace dispelled the sorrow that had been shrouded in Beppu for many days, and everyone seemed to find happiness again
During the meal, Alanzo briefly described the experiences of him, Yurilu and Fei Bing that night.
Only then did I realize that the few leaders sitting around Chago at that time, except for the charming woman who was solved by me, all the other three people were not spared. The terrifying outbreak of the Darkness of Destruction.
Fortunately, Alanzo used the unique spiritual sense of the human great magician to discover the approaching crisis earlier and launched the Wind-type advanced defensive magic. Wind Barrier
However, even the most outstanding magician of human beings could not resist the power of the Darkness of Destruction and the Barrier of Wind was eventually broken by the powerful dark energy. Alanzo and the other two fainted one after another and were seriously injured.

Debo wanted to give up, but he had no choice but to continue searching for Feiya, Xihanya, An Ludi and others insisted on continuing to search, so everyone stayed in the ruins for two days, and finally they were completely desperate.

Yurilu snorted: It must be this thief Kaoran, only he will kill his master and then go quickly
Fei Bing shook his head and said: Kaolan may have this intention, but with his strength, it seems that the Black Flag Group cannot be driven, let alone how did he grasp our whereabouts so accurately and contact Chago earlier?
An Ludi asked: Who else will be there?

I sneered slightly in my heart, and I understood that His Majesty Jiaxiu would never kill the beloved son of an important minister for a so-called grandson who was in trouble. Now I am just pretending to wait for the opportunity to go down the stairs.
Duke, haven't you pleaded with His Majesty? I asked

The Duke of Jinsha's eyes lit up and then said: Your Highness should rest early, and it's the same for you to see Your Majesty tomorrow morning. Anyway, you have returned safely, so don't worry about it.

The Duke of Jinsha's burly body fell to the ground and said respectfully: I will bring Prince Xiu Lan.
Xiu Lan? His Majesty Jia Xiu's voice is old and hoarse, but it still has irresistible majesty: This is the first time I have seen my grandson since you were born to this year's death.
A faint smile on the corner of my mouth replied: Maybe I should thank Kaolan. If it weren't for him, I might not have seen His Majesty in another nineteen years.
Xiu Lan, why don’t you kneel down and reply? The middle-aged man sitting upright shouted in a low voice, "I glanced coldly on his pale and haggard face because of his excessive squandering, and didn’t say anything."

If I guess correctly, he should be one of the three princes who are most promising to inherit the throne. Judging from his appearance, he may be the eldest prince Ott
The Duke of Sands also hurriedly said: Your Majesty is healthy and healthy. Not to mention nineteen years, living past 100 years will not be a problem.
His Majesty Jiaxiu laughed and said: Don't say enough good things. It's rare for Ute to live to be as old as me. I have never heard of the elders in the temple who have lived past 100 years, and I am not afraid of death. I have been sitting in this position for forty years and have become a little bored.
Father?
His Majesty!
Xiu Lan, what do you think? Jiaxiu ignored Ott and the Duke of Sands, looked at me and asked kindly: I heard that you have died almost once, are you really scary to tell me?
I said calmly: Death is not terrible. What your Majesty is that life is worse than death, it is a walking corpse
Well said! Jiaxiu's eyes shone brightly and he praised loudly: I am a descendant of Jiaxiu. At this age, I have seen through the way of life and death
There was no smug expression on my face. In my heart, I have always rejected Xiu Lan's identity. Of course, I can't really regard Jia Xiu as my grandfather.
Although he is the lord of the empire, he is still no different from others in my eyes.
The only thing that makes me feel moved is that his mind and demeanor is only worthy of being a king.
Unfortunately, your mother can't see what's going on today. Jiaxiu suddenly sighed in a low voice: She is one of my favorite daughters, but she has a poor life. She died of illness less than a year after giving birth to you. Otherwise, she should be thirty-six years old this year.
If I remember correctly, Morent, the former king of Biarrell, was at least sixty years old
Jiaxiu kept saying that he loved his daughter, but married her far away to a man who was over 20 years older than his twenties. Everything was just for politics.
Ott, who was standing beside him, said hypocritically: I still remember the age of my father, but I really touched us as children.
Jiaxiu smiled and said: Don’t you remember my 70th birthday, and you still have to do it in a big way?
Ott hurriedly said: This is the filial piety that the children should do.
His Majesty Jiaxiu's eyes returned to me and said: I heard that something happened to you before. I can't sleep peacefully for almost a few days. You are the only blood left by your mother in this world. If you can't even protect you, what can I, the Emperor of Monston, have to boast about?
I thought to myself, maybe the last sentence is what Jia Xiu really thinks?
The Black Flag Regiment attacked you? His Majesty Jiaxiu said: I have ordered the Marquis of John, the governor of Lester County, to clear the remnants of the Black Flag Regiment within a time limit. Although Chago is dead, that is only his luck. I will not let go of any other Yu Ni
Duke of Jinsha said: Your Majesty, as far as I know, the real goal of the Black Flag Group is actually Prince Xiulan. Their leader Chago once took out the portrait of Prince Xiulan and offered a reward of 10,000 gold coins.
A cold light shot out from Jiaxiu's eyes and stared at the Duke of Jinsha and said: Is there really such a thing, can you be sure?
A person like Duke of Sands can't help but look down and dare not look at each other, but answered with a positive tone: I can be sure
Jiaxiu pondered: The Black Flag Group and Biarrel have never had any contact, so why did Xiulan be involved?
Suddenly, he snorted coldly, obviously having some understanding
But he said as if nothing happened: I will send someone to find out about this matter, but Xiu Lan, what are your plans for the future?
I said calmly: I will follow His Majesty's orders
Jiaxiu said slowly: Twenty days ago, Kaoran of Biarrel held the throne ceremony. At that time, I thought you were no longer alive, so I also sent envoys to attend. If I had already recognized him now, you will return safely, and I should have sent troops to avenge you and restore your country, but
I understood that his words were long as I expected, and I said lightly: I can wait for the restoration of the country, and I don’t want to use someone else’s hand to complete Kaolan’s head. I want to take it back in person.
His Majesty Jiaxiu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: OK, ambitious! If you want to restore the country in the future, if you have any requests, just speak to me, and I will help you with all my strength.
Thank you! I bowed my body slightly. Although His Majesty Jiaxiu's words sound touching, they are actually not harmful to him at all.
If one day I really want to rely on my own strength to restore the country, the most he can help is only logistics supply.
If the country is restored successfully, he will not abandon one soldier and one soldier and return to a friendly vassal state, otherwise there will be no losses.
His Majesty Jiaxiu said with emotion: You are my grandson. It has made me uneasy that you cannot send troops to restore the country. Why do you thank me? Fortunately, you know that as the lord of the empire, there are difficulties in not being able to do anything for foreigners. In fact, I should thank you.
It seemed that he remembered something, His Majesty Jiaxiu said again: It seems that you have to stay in Monston for a while, I need to arrange it for you
The Duke of Jinsha said: Your Majesty, Prince Xiulan and his subordinates are living in my Beppu, and I will take good care of it.
His Majesty Jiaxiu smiled and said: I don’t mean that. You misunderstood about how to arrange Xiu Lan. Let me think about it tonight and announce it tomorrow at the morning meeting.
Ott said with concern: Father, it’s not too early, it’s time for you to rest
His Majesty Jiaxiu nodded and said: OK, that's all I'll talk about tonight. It's been a long time since I've been chatting with people so happily.
Xiu Lan, let the Duke of Sands take you to attend tomorrow's morning meeting
I was stunned and nodded: Yes, Your Majesty!
The conversation ended. When the Duke of Sands and I walked out of the palace, it was already full of stars, and the night wind blew on my face to bring a coolness.
The career of the imperial capital will begin here, and every day in the future will be my journey to realize my destiny.
