People in the hospitality palace wanted to go out, but were informed that access was temporarily restricted.
The astute ones had noticed that something was wrong and sat down in the corner vigilantly. Only a few dumbfounded young people were left questioning Sligo's well-trained attendants, receiving cold faces one after another.
A Silent One left and returned, and Lu Yu caught him before he disappeared into the shadows of the palace.
"Tell me clearly what happened." Lu Yu emphasized, "You should know who I am."
The Silent One was silent until the strength of his hand became a little stronger, and then he whispered: "When discussing the monopoly of goods with the Leoni Continental Business Group, Your Majesty asked a dangerous person who you scolded and warned Accompanying... She took advantage of the little silence that was also participating in the meeting to turn around, used the table knife on the table to slit His Majesty's throat, and stabbed His Majesty's heart fiercely. This was for the public... Alas, Your Majesty the Glutton! "
The Silent One quickly grabbed the bass that was about to run away, and he begged: "Your Excellency Gluttonous Eater, Master Silence is urgently blocking the news. The order we received is to stabilize the situation. Please don't worry, because..."
Lu Yu didn't stop, shook off the Silent Man's hand and rushed out.
When he came to the open area, Lu Yu discovered that the people walking around were all highly nervous magicians and members of the knights wearing helmets. When they saw someone walking out of the forbidden palace, they immediately surrounded him with cheers.
"Sela is also a magician who has mastered the advanced healing magic of Theocratic State. Aren't you looking for someone from Theocratic State? She is very suitable."
Sera, who was holding hands with Lu Yu as she galloped all the way, kept her eyes narrowed, thinking about something. When Lu Yu mentioned her, she did not hesitate and took a step forward to reveal her identity as the former God's Chosen One.
The name Serra and the identity of the former God's Chosen still have influence up to this moment. The knights and magicians whose faces were facing a formidable enemy became slightly pale.
Silence caught up with him: "Little Silence and Master Silence are both busy now. Please don't make it more difficult for them to control the situation for the time being. In fact..."
Seeing the Theocratic Healer flying not far away, Lu Yu took a deep breath: "At least you should take me to Noel. With the situation you described, at least my wife... Sera can help. , is there a better healer here than her!"
This sudden slip of the tongue made Sierra feel itchy all over...
"That's not the case... Your Excellency Gluttony, please allow us to communicate privately." The Silent One was anxious and kept looking around.
Before he finished speaking, another Quiet One came to the scene and whispered something in his ear. The Quiet One who had been planning to say something to Lu Yu was relieved.
"Your Excellency Gluttonous Eater, Your Excellency Serra, please come with me, Sir Silence has invited you."
There was wind under his feet. Although he was very angry when he heard that Noel did not listen to the advice, but when he thought that this guy was dying now, it was very likely that he would not be able to survive this disaster... Lu Yu's chest felt tight.
He didn't want the Sligo communication line, where he could make random jokes when he was bored, to be cut off...
"Fuck you Noel, why didn't you listen to the advice!" Lu Yu clenched his fists, wishing to punch this fool in the face, "Why have you worked so hard for so long without having a child? You are such a bastard!"
Just when Lu Yu's thoughts were in chaos, Lu Yu walked through the palace complex and came to the heavily guarded Noel Collection Room. The Silent Man in black around him was silent and solemn, walking through the group of Sligo without saying a word. The most loyal guard of the emperor felt like he had stepped into a cemetery.
Sierra could feel that Lu Yu's palms were sweating, and they were clenching tighter and tighter as the door to the collection room opened.
Xiao Jingjing came up to him, pushed away the accompanying Jingjing, and guided Lu Yu without saying a word.
"How is he?" Lu Yu didn't even notice that his voice was trembling.
"Why……"
Xiao Jiji sighed, and Sela's hand hurt from being pinched. She quickly paid attention to Lu Yu's mood swings. After returning from Duderan, he had not shown any anger for a long time.
Passing through the partition area made of the Forbidden Demon Stone, the thick stone doors rumbled open to both sides. The luxurious interiors, cool atmosphere, and bright crystal lamps came into view. Then, they inevitably saw the large room in the middle. , On the big soft bed, a man humming an unknown ditty held a spoon, hugged the watermelon, and ate it one bite at a time.
Seeing Lu Yu enter the room, the man put down the watermelon and walked forward happily.
The tacit understanding allowed Sera to understand what Lu Yu wanted to do. She gently let go of the hand she was holding, originally thinking that she was afraid that Lu Yu would get too excited and do something, but now it seemed that there was no need.
“Long time no see, oh~~~~~”
Before Noel could finish his words, he received a solid punch from Lu Yu on the face. Although his physical skills were weak, the punch still sent Noel flying to the bed.
Little Silence, Silence, Phoebe, and several close Silencers looked at each other and decided to pretend they didn't see anything.
Noel made a hissing sound and carefully touched the place where he was hit hard. When he saw the blood on his fingers, he was not angry at all. He wanted to smile playfully again, but when he saw Lu Yu gasping for air, he again With an anxious and angry look, he got up with a guilty conscience.
"How about you punch me again..."
Lu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, found a cushioned chair, and lay down without caring about the image.
Noel was really anxious. He jumped up like a child who had done something wrong and looked at Sera tremblingly.
Sera could confirm Lu Yu's current mood, but in an outsider situation, there was no reason for her not to stand on Lu Yu's side.
Noel was embarrassed and wanted to say something, but he hesitated a little, so he had to curl his lips and bring a chair to sit in front of Lu Yu.
After a while, Lu Yu's mood gradually calmed down, and he exhaled a heavy breath: "Next time, can we get to the bottom of this kind of thing in advance?"
Noel looked at Little Silence.
Xiao Jingjing replied: "It seems that the Jingren in charge of the palace failed to inform Lord Lu Yu of the whole matter in time... He apologized to Gluttony and His Majesty Noel, and said that he will put the key information forward next time."
Lu Yu covered his face with his hands, and Sierra turned her face helplessly.
It turned out that he was not angry because he thought he had done something stupid. Now Noel laughed with relief and waved his hand: "It's okay, it doesn't matter. You know it now anyway, right?"
"What are you trying to do by making such a big fuss? Who are you planning to deceive this time?" Lu Yu asked, "I remember that Dweke used this trick and finally attracted a snow monster. What about you, what are you planning to lure out? "
"A good strategy is always fresh."
Noel smiled and clapped his hands. Outside the stone door, a plainly dressed woman walked into the room. She took off her hood, revealing her iconic pointed ears. The slightly bulging bag under her cloak was undoubtedly Butterfly wings.
"This is the famous Summoner of Mela, Gluttony. Please introduce yourself to him."
The elf kneeling on one knee spoke with a trembling voice: "Dear Lord Glutton, Broken Light salutes you."
"Don't worry, he's not as violent as the rumors say, and he won't eat elves."
Lu Yuren was stunned. He stood up, but this action made Sui Guang tremble all over.
"Is she the assassin?"
Noel nodded.
"You kept her with you?"
Noel continued to nod.
"Is she yours?"
Noel shook his head: "Not yet, but maybe in the future."
Broken Light didn't seem to adapt to this kneeling position, and almost fell down.
Lu Yu rubbed his temples: "I don't ask you how you did it, I just ask you, what does this have to do with your 'passing away' in public now?"
"Shattered Light, tell Gluttony who asked you to kill me."
"Prince Vitello."
Although he spent this time in Mera, Lu Yu's understanding of the political structure here was limited to the surface level of the four major countries. What he knew most about was the structure of the Guanghui Academy of the Theocracy, so he turned his attention to Selah.
Serra explained: "At that time, there were three people in Sligo who had the right to inherit the throne. In addition to Noel, he also had an elder brother, a younger brother, and seven sisters and sisters who had no right to compete. Vitello was Noel. El’s half-brother. If I remember correctly, Prince Vitello expressed dissatisfaction with the inheritance qualification when Noel was elected, believing that his father’s choice with the Silent One was wrong, and he was punished for it.”
Noel picked up the watermelon, continued to eat it, and used a cold spoon to apply ice on his swollen cheeks.
"Where do you think the rising opponents in Sligo come from? In the early days when I delegated power, my good brother, brother, and even my sisters all enjoyed some of the benefits and were secretly happy, so they were fine. As a Drained Spirit, I took over power through war and suppressed their factional tentacles. The people commanded me well, but they did not mention the minor damage to Sligo. Instead, they labeled me as extravagant, dissolute, and indulgent. I think that without me, the Imperial General can still achieve great victory."
"Let's not talk about what's behind, but what's ahead is luxury, debauchery, and indulgence. Are they right?" Lu Yu sent an assist.
While staring at the broken light, Noel defended: "But I have been doing business besides these things. Natural disasters are turbulent. Sligo's huge territory, as long as it is governed by my carefully selected consuls, not to mention eating. I'm full, but I'm always hungry, and the security is much better than the chaos in Codzone, right? I haven't embezzled funds from the Sligo treasury. Even the extravagant enjoyment they criticize is made by myself, and even It subsidizes a lot of public construction..."
He looked at Serra: "When Pope Laurent was still alive, I followed the implementation of the orphanage system. This was a money-burning institution, but I was still in the royal capital of Cresto, Mondelli, and Alaisan. This region has been filling the deficit by itself, and has been doing so for five years... They won't let me tinker with weird products. Will they pay to support those orphans? Will they do this? "
Sierra nodded. She was forced to provide assists for Noel. After all, he actually did so. As for the accounts, she believed that a proud and straightforward person like Noel would not bother to tell such a lie.
Vitello's territory was connected with Solon and suffered a lot of damage from the infection. As a local forest elf, Shattered Light's relatives all died under the impact of the earliest infestation, and their homeland was barren of grass. It was also at this time that Vitello asked The propaganda of various ethnic groups in the territory has amplified harm due to Noel's neglect and incompetence.
Sierra clicked her tongue: “How old are you?”
"Thirty-six..." Broken Light lowered his head.
"Without seeking verification, you relied on your passion to become Vitlow's sharp blade, and voluntarily sacrificed your life in exchange for a future for all Sligo clans?" Sera couldn't stand it anymore. "Can't you see such a typical transfer conflict? Is it an assassination? You were quite proud at that time, and you were touched?"
The bald head is even lower.
Seeing Noel's approving eyes, as if he wanted to say more, Sierra stopped immediately.
Every bullet she outputs now will pave the way for Noel's subsequent strategy.
There are many people like Broken Light who lost their homes and were brainwashed by Vitlow to become death warriors. Broken Light was chosen to kill Noel because of his outstanding performance and belief in death.
Such people can become one of their own, how did Noel do it? Lu Yu was confused.
As for why I chose to take action at this point in time...
"Two reasons. One is probably because I feel that if I continue to weaken the old nobles, his influence and the people he can unite with will be reduced, so I plan to take risks and create a scene where I am unpopular with the people. Second...according to the messenger, My good brother seems to have particularly close trade relations with some foreign races, and this trade route was established after the invasion of Codezon."
Lu Yu was shocked: "Is he a traitor?"
"Who knows, maybe we have agreed to create unrest in Sligo, and then use the opportunity to turn Sligo into the next Solon, and separate them. The bulk of Sligo is beneficial to the aliens and my brothers. After all, after Cordzoun, it’s about me and the Theocracy. By the way, do you think they are secretly promoting the current religious conflicts in The Theocracy?”
Sera frowned slightly. Both Cordzoun, who was on the front line against the aliens, and Solon, who was arrayed in three petals, believed that the establishment of the Theocracy could guarantee a certain degree of order and stability. However, after the Theocracy turned conservative...
Could it be that the recent chaos in Mera is not only caused by the rise of various emerging forces, but also by alien races colluding with them? After all, as long as the four major countries remain in chaos, it will be too difficult for emerging forces to survive in the cracks. Foreign races will enter the country and disrupt the situation, which can help them get something out of the fire.
"Although there are capable people among the foreign races, I know so well that the Theocracy's weaknesses after losing Laurent can be exploited to accurately provoke the fragile nerves of the Glorious Religion and trigger a large-scale xenophobia. Without the guidance of the elites among the indigenous people of the four major countries, I can't I don’t believe it.” Noel sneered, “Be it my brother, the Forbidden Demon Sect, Return to Reason, or those messy new forces, these ambitious people can’t wait to get on the stage.”
"In order for the people of Sligo who are still willing to believe me but are somewhat ignorant and easily deceived to have enough to eat, my brother can only wait to rebel against me." Noel spit out a few watermelon seeds, "Same. I have given enough respect to my father’s bloodline, but they want too much and I can’t satisfy them.”
"I also want this collection room to continue to be filled and become a palace that can be admired and worshiped by future generations. I also want to enjoy it comfortably until the end of my life. It is best to die in bed. Before that day comes... I can only ask They all go to hell," Noel said quietly.
Zhang said, add more updates, understand? Challenge three updates tomorrow!
