"Da da da……"
A strong, strong horse with nothing special about it pulled a simple carriage engraved with the emblem of the Guangming Cult, along the mountain-circling road leading to the palace, and drove to the main entrance of the palace on the top of the mountain. .
The royal patrols scattered on the mountain called "Throne" confirmed the identity of this special carriage and did not stop it, allowing it to drive directly to the kingdom without any hindrance. The center of power, the royal palace.
The carriage arrived at its destination and stopped at the entrance of the palace. The large number of soldiers guarding the palace immediately saluted the seemingly ordinary and simple carriage, because the owner of the carriage was Fang Stuart. special.
No one got off the carriage, but he opened the carriage window and handed a letter to the hand that descended from the sky.
One of the magician commanders then told him to deliver the letter to the king, then spurred his horses and drove away in the carriage.
The magician briefly confirmed the letter and saw Father Fang's autograph on the outside of the letter. He immediately understood the importance of the letter and quickly carried the letter into the palace and handed over the gift from the Light Cult. The letter was delivered to the minister in charge of paperwork.
"The letter from the Light Cult is signed by Father Fang. When was it sent?"
The Minister of Documents turned over the letter in his hand and asked the magician who sent the letter to him.
"Just now, the carriage of the Guangming Cult handed me this letter after arriving at the gate of the palace, and asked us to present this letter to His Highness the King."
The magician explained.
"I understand. You go back and continue on duty. I will handle this letter."
The Minister of Clerks scanned the letter with magic power and confirmed that there were no security issues. He ordered the magician to continue guarding the letter while he carried the letter to the king's location.
"I am writing this letter at this time. What did the Light Cult notice? It shouldn't be the case. Some people in the Blade of Night suspect us and notice something. It is normal for some things before contacting us to be blamed on us."
"But the Illuminati Cult is the least responsible." They are the most inconsequential organization. Even if only the royal family benefits in the end, they will not blame us without evidence. "
The clerical minister analyzed the current situation. How should I put it? Eight days have passed since the God of Fear dissipated. At this time, the Light God suddenly contacted the royal family, which was very subtle.
The Illuminati Cult had not contacted the royal family before, probably because they were dealing with the remaining people of Seventan. After all, they were the Illuminati Cult, and it was impossible to watch this group of people die and lose their country.
It should have been dealt with now, and a letter was immediately sent to the king. It is difficult not to make people wonder whether the Light Cult has seen something that the royal family has done.
From beginning to end, this war with Seventan can actually be seen as the layout of the Arestle royal family, including the descent of the God of Fear.
It's just that the loss of control of the body of the divine skeleton is indeed beyond the royal family's expectations, and the God of Fear who occupies the body of the divine skeleton is also stronger than their control.
"Judging from the precepts of the Light God Religion, it is almost impossible for them to interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, so this letter is most likely related to other factors, so what could it be..."
The clerical minister held the letter, thinking as he walked towards the king's location.
When he arrived at the door where the king was, he lowered his head to avoid looking directly at the king. The minister of documents opened the door and walked in.
This is where Wang Yu and others once met the king, but the layout has changed at this moment. Except for the king who is still sitting alone on his throne, the rest of the palace officials are sitting around in the center of the hall. At the long table in the office, business discussions were taking place.
The entry of the Minister of Clerical Affairs did not make them stop their work. They were still having voting-style discussions on important matters in the near future, including the development and reward of Seventan's territory, how to deal with the shadow of the royal city in the future, etc.
The palace officials here are all knowledgeable and wise men who are much more intelligent than ordinary people. They serve the royal family and deal with problems quickly through discussion and voting, and solve the problems that need to be solved as quickly as possible.
If the king does not participate, they will determine how to deal with the problem based on the principle of internal minority submission to the majority. If the king participates, everything will follow the king's will, and they will only provide opinions and information.
At this time, the most heated and controversial topic they discussed was how to deal with Edward, the "hero who saved the royal city."
Transformed into the earthly agent of the God of Light, he saved everyone when they fell into fear of the God. Edward engraved his name deeply into the hearts of everyone he saved.
At this moment, Edward's reputation among the residents of the royal city was unmatched by anyone.
"The Grand Dukes of the Four Realms all abide by those rules, so we don't have to worry about them. There is no need to deal with Edward in any special way, give him certain rewards, and build momentum. It's mostly good for us."
One of them spoke.
"In this case, there will be a more troublesome problem. Night Blade, Edward is a member of the Night Blade special operations team. At this time, his reputation has brought a group of supporters to Night Blade among the residents of the royal city. .”
"If his status is improved again and his reputation continues to turn into a substantial force, our relationship with the Night Blade will become even more difficult to handle."
After the previous person finished speaking, someone immediately expressed a different opinion.
"Agree, now the Blade of Night itself has a certain degree of separation.
Control means, because of the Lady of the Night they believe in, they are almost not limited by the "Darkness of the Sky" imprint. "
"In addition, the war is over, and the conflict between the Night Blade and us, which we suppressed due to the urgency of the war, is likely to cause trouble later, and we all know that they are different from those nobles who just suck the blood of the kingdom. , the Blade of Night is indeed an integral part.”
"And we have no way to remove their method of ignoring the Darkness of Heaven's Marking ability without breaking out of conflicts. Even if we destroy the Night Church currently located in the royal city, it will be meaningless."
"Because the source of that power is the god Lady Night, and we currently have no means to directly target an invisible god."
"Therefore, it is necessary to weaken Edward's influence so that we can prepare as early as possible to deal with the unstable part of Night Blade. The residents of the royal city do not have such rational thinking. They only need some guidance and false news to break their understanding of the situation." Adoration of Edward.”
An official who followed immediately agreed with the previous speaker's opinion and believed that it was extremely necessary to weaken Edward's status in the hearts of the residents of the royal city. At the same time, he also gave sufficient reasons.
"It makes sense, and I agree with it, but that research madman Rudolf has already arrested the "Archbishop of the Night Church". According to Rudolf, the man named Wang Yu is the creator of the "Prayer Communication Network". He tried to solve the problem at its root, and was he successful?"
Once again, a speaker agreed and asked a question.
"Not yet. That guy named Wang Yu is very tough, but there should be results soon. Rudolph used the "Spiral Breaking Qi Needle"."
Someone chimed in to give an answer.
"I understand, that thing is every knight's nightmare, and it will indeed come to an end soon. He is also one of the reasons why I think Edward's influence needs to be weakened."
"Wang Yu and Edward are good friends. For this reason, Edward is still looking for Wang Yu based on his reputation. Although the arrest is clean enough, there is no guarantee that some omissions will not be caught."
"Some rumors can gradually divert their attention away from this "dead" person."
The clerical minister did not deliberately listen to the discussion of everyone present. He just walked past the table and handed the letter from the Light Cult directly to the king who was sitting on the throne. He bowed his head humbly and waited for instructions.
The king took the letter from the clerical minister, opened it, and read the beautiful handwriting left by Father Fang, which was not included in it. It was a request from the Guangming Cult.
The king's expression did not change as he read. After reading, his brows only furrowed slightly.
"The Cult of Light believes that we have not disposed of the body of the divine body properly. This thing should be handed over to them for safekeeping. If we continue to use it improperly after recycling it, it will still bring disaster to the kingdom. What do you think?"
The king asked in a low voice to the clerk who stood respectfully aside.
The minister of documents was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the letter from the Guangming Cult was for this purpose, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed the style of the Guangming Cult.
If it were a letter from another organization saying this, he might suspect that they covet the power of this divine body, but they are the Cult of Light, so what the letter says is for the safety of the kingdom, it should be true. It also makes it hard to say no.
"It is true that we had problems using this divine skeleton, and based on the fact that the Light God Religion finally took action to rescue us, it becomes more difficult to refuse."
"But this divine skeleton containing powerful power is a weapon that we must master, so the best option at present is to delay. It is basically impossible for the Light Religion to take action against us. As long as it agrees and delays indefinitely, Although there will be trouble, it will be enough to deal with.”
"The main trouble is to allocate a group of people to negotiate with those stubborn paladins of the Light God Cult. They can stabilize them with words and sustain their terrible physical strength to carry out the war for a long time. Officials, not many.”
The Minister of Clerical Affairs talked about the solution. To put it simply, the request made by the Guangming Cult was not a very difficult problem, but it would waste a lot of time and consume a large part of the energy of the royal family.
"Just do as you say. Now in the royal city, there are almost no forces that can threaten us. The Light God Sect is more difficult to deal with than the existences like the Edge of Night who are used to compromise. They are too stubborn, and there are Forces that are independent of the kingdom and deal with their problems.”
The king confirmed how to do it, returned the letter to the clerical minister, and continued to turn his head to look at the officials below who were discussing various things.
The clerical minister accepted the order, saluted, and left the hall. Next, he had to negotiate with the big guys from the Church of Light. Thinking about it, it was still a headache. This was a dual test of physical strength and mental strength.
…………
In the prison in the royal city, Rudolf observed Wang Yu's situation through the cage, with a satisfied smile on his lips. Everything was going in the direction he was satisfied with.
Wang Yu's body at this time was already so haggard that it was difficult to see how strong it was before.
The muscle lines disappeared, the skin was dry and yellow, and there were fine wounds all over the body with no signs of healing. His condition looked so bad that it made people wonder how long this guy could live.
"This is what happens after a knight loses his fighting spirit. Although he doesn't know exactly how it works, after the fighting spirit that has been unknowingly integrated into his life dissipates, his extraordinary and powerful body will be the same as the tall one who was stripped of his foundation. Like a tower, it gradually collapses."
"Compared to the mage who just reverts to normal after losing his power, the fate of the knight is really miserable and unimaginable. And this process of losing power clearly feels that his whole body is "rotten" bit by bit, which is enough to drag down anyone's spirit. .”
"Look at this guy's condition. Where has the determined guy gone? Tsk tsk."
Rudolf rubbed his chin back and forth with his fingers, looking at Wang Yu who was still trying to move even in such a bad state, and was very satisfied with the effect of the torture he inflicted on Wang Yu.
Wang Yu's hysterical state seemed to Rudolf to be a precursor to a breakdown of his will. He tried to end his life before his body completely collapsed in order to escape torture and said nothing.
He would rather die than give in. It may seem brave and tenacious to others, but in Rudolph's view, death is not the most terrifying thing in the first place. It is just death, and it is over. Life is worse than death, which is the greatest pain.
Wang Yu's performance at this moment shows that he has vaguely understood that he can no longer hold on. If this continues, his spirit will completely collapse in the process of feeling the erosion of his body. This is unacceptable to him.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I can't let you get what you want. I can insist on not saying that. Up to now, you have surpassed many people, but it's not over yet."
Rudolf opened the prison, walked inside, whispered into the ears of the trapped Wang Yu, and inserted a tube of injection full of impurities into Wang Yu's chest, injecting the liquid inside.
The healing potion, mixed with some nutrients, couldn't cure anything, but it was enough to hang Wang Yu's life and prevent him from dying.
"Damn bitch..."
Hoarse curses came from Wang Yu's throat and echoed in the cell.
"Ha... keep on persisting. The longer you go, the more painful you will be. When your body gradually weakens to the point where you are no longer as good as an ordinary person, you will know what it means to have a mental breakdown."
Rudolf smiled and didn't care. He just continued to describe the desperate future to Wang Yu and walked out of the prison.
"Huhuhu..."
The heavy breathing lasted for a long time, seeming to express Wang Yu's rage like a trapped animal, until he lost his strength and became silent.
Where no one can notice, a force is flowing in Wang Yu's body, ripples, this is what Void told Wang Yu. The name of this force is very vivid, but it also misleads Wang Yu.
At first, Wang Yu thought that this power was the "secret energy" he obtained from the void as a wizard, but later it was proved that this was entirely his own power and had nothing to do with the void.
However, the name Void gave to this power in the spiritual space still had an impact on Wang Yu, causing him to misunderstand this power. His use and understanding of this power were deviated.
Until this time, the fighting spirit was stripped away from his body, and Wang Yu seemed to have returned to the time when he had just obtained the ability of "ripples". At that time, he did not have fighting spirit yet. All he had was a body and the accompanying "ripple".
This power is not that simple. He has no wizard talent at all, so what Void did at that time was not to give him secret power at all, but to help him identify something that he didn't know he had always possessed in his body. A strength, an "inner potential."
In fact, Void didn't understand this power at all. He only told Wang Yu a part of this power, the part called "ripples", based on some of the analyzed corners. This led to the fact that Wang Yu had been using Strength is incomplete.
At this time when his fighting spirit was gone, Wang Yu rethought everything in the past and finally captured the essence of this power.
When he first came to this world, he felt that his body was "absorbing" the extraordinary parts of this world and became stronger.
At that time, what kind of power grabbed the "extraordinary" outside and integrated it into his body, making his body's strength exceed the limits of earthlings.
After that, fighting spirit, blessing vampires, dragon blood, etc., his body was undergoing a kind of independent "learning", and where did that kind of power come from.
At the moment closest to this moment, when he ignited his body with the fire of the spell and burned everything in his body until the oil was almost gone, and his fighting spirit was also burned out, the ripples he released, in a short period of time, , directly distorting the material world.
In addition, the performance of his Bloody Storm Knight Secret Technique and even the Material Sword Shaping Technique are actually different from ordinary people. In the words of Edward, he is called a "monster". I have never seen someone as good as Wang Yu. So useful.
When Wang Yu himself realized that this body was different from the people in this world from the beginning, he realized that this body had a certain power from the beginning.
Just as you notice that breathing can be controlled by yourself, it goes from being instinctive to something you need to do yourself.
This power that had always been hidden under the surface of "ripples", after being truly realized by Wang Yu, changed from instinct and unconscious use by Wang Yu to a power that could be used independently.
"No wonder I haven't been able to awaken my inner potential. From the beginning, a certain force similar to my inner potential has already occupied its position. In a sense, my inner potential has long been already exists."
This power flowed in Wang Yu's body, and poured into it when it passed through the long nail that was pierced into Wang Yu's body. The long nail began to deform, and the body of the nail that pierced the body was directly distorted and melted by this force. Withdraw from Wang Yu's muscles.
The nail head still remains in Wang Yu's abdomen, and there is no abnormality. However, the nail body inside has turned into a substance like molten steel, which traveled along Wang Yu's body, came to his back, and The state when Wang Yu controlled his own blood was exactly the same.
"The humanoid void, no wonder the void can strengthen my ripples. This body of mine is the same as a radiation source. The void can distort the surrounding material world, and I can too, but the difference is that I am completely controllable, and the principle is absolutely different."
Wang Yu explored this "new" power. The stronger the body, the stronger the power that distorts other substances.
Although this body is not huge enough, it is enough to tie all things to this car...
chariot.
