"Nonsense, what are you talking about?"

At this time, Kristen was confused. He had no idea what was happening to Ista in front of him. However, Gerost on the side reacted, and his pupils suddenly tightened.

"Roya is dead! That monster is not a worm at all, it is a cocoon!"

The hysterical roar made Christian feel like he was struck by lightning. At this time, Ista clenched his fists and his eyes were bloodshot. It was the first time that he, who had always been cynical, showed such a gaffe expression in front of outsiders. The main reason why he was so angry because of Roja was that Roja had saved his life.

He would never forget that in that weird disaster, it was Roya who resisted the fatal knife for him and saved his life. In the days that followed, in order to prevent the nobles from being suspicious, Ista always looked indifferent to Roja, but secretly helped the upright Roja to clear up other people's dissatisfaction more than once.

But now, Roja died in front of him because of his own negligence, and all kinds of evidence pointed to Roja's most trusted teacher, Christine.

But now, Christine was even more shocked than Ista, her mind went blank, and the drowsiness left by the alcohol was swept away in an instant.

"How...how is it possible..."

He couldn't believe this fact, his eyes were blank, and he murmured: "Roya...Roya obviously has..."

At this time, Ista was completely unable to suppress the anger in his heart. He looked at the confused Christine in front of him and subconsciously thought that he was disguising himself. Ista shouted angrily, and the waves of water suddenly appeared behind him. Just as he was controlling the waves to attack the dazed Christine, Zhou Li spoke.

"stop."

The short words seemed to have a magical power that made people surrender. Istar subconsciously withdrew the water element. Just when he was about to say something, Zhou Li suddenly rose up and controlled the black mist to punch. The stunned Kristen hit the back of her head with an earth-shattering punch that directly embedded Kristen into the ground, causing her to pass out.

"I come."

After blowing his fist, Zhou Li glanced at the fainted Christine, and then said to Ista: "What did you just say?"

"I...I said Roya was killed by Christine's design..."

"impossible!"

At this time, Gerost on the side came to his senses and shouted angrily: "Christine is definitely not this kind of person. He fucking likes this disciple more than you. Istar, you are out of your mind and crazy and are acting wild here." Right?"

"See for yourself."

With a sullen face, Ishtar opened the package and threw out a document to Gerost. Gerost took the file, opened it, and saw the bolded and emphasized data at a glance.

"This is…"

It was obvious that Gerost saw the problem with the data at a glance. His pupils tightened, his face changed with shock, and there was deep horror in his doubts.

"The Grand Junction was not put down by the Yingnan government at all. It was Christine who used her authority in advance to put down the Junction and let tens of thousands of people die in vain. After I got this document, I was immediately attacked on the way here. Yes, there are Templars at the door of the government building. Are you telling me that none of this has anything to do with Christine?"

Faced with Ishtar's question, Gerost's face was solemn. He did not immediately refute, nor did he fully accept it. He repeatedly compared the data above, and finally lowered his hands weakly, looking at Christine at his feet with a complicated expression on his face.

"I still don't believe it."

After a while, Geralost said in a hoarse voice: "He has no reason..."

"Do you really know or are you pretending not to know this country's prejudice against him? Do you know how many military exploits he has received? Do you know how many nobles sent assassins to kill this impure man? Do you know , the humiliation and pain he has received over the past ten years?"

"Okay, no need to say more."

At this time, Zhou Li spoke, and the two of them suddenly became quiet and looked at Zhou Li together. Facing the gazes of the two men, Zhou Li looked as normal and said calmly: "Ishtar, you continue to serve as the Grand Consul and temporarily command the Templar Knights and the army in the city."

"Jerost, please leave first."

Facing Zhou Li's decision, both of them felt something was wrong. Ista frowned, suppressing the anger in his heart and said to Zhou Li: "Roya's body is not cold yet, you..."

"Then we don't care about Jordan? The Gospels took action to kill Roja. Did he just give up?"

Zhou Li snorted coldly, controlled the black mist to roll up Kristen, threw it aside, and said to the two of them: "Now Kristen is the most suspicious, I will interrogate him personally. Gerost, go and take away Roya's body." Be restrained, remember, be restrained."

"clear."

After calming down, Gerost glanced at Ishtar on the side, and then took a deep look at Christine on the ground. Then he stood up directly and left here without looking back.

With a cold snort, Ishtar left directly through the hole he made. This time, Zhou Li didn't yell for compensation like usual, nor did he take any action. He just sat in his chair blankly, looking at the mess in front of him.

"The fog lingers..."

Closing his eyes, Zhou Li slumped down on the chair and sighed longly under the haze in the sky.

There was a loud noise behind them, and after the black fog dissipated, Ivey and others noticed something strange in the courtyard.

******************

The next day, news that shocked everyone spread to all walks of life in Jordan.

Major General Jordan, Master of the Knights Templar, Christine was imprisoned.

The reason for being imprisoned was bizarre collusion.

This news is tantamount to dropping a nuclear bomb in Jordan. Who is Christine? He is the protector of Jordanians. Whether it is various battles or horrific and bizarre disasters, Christine will always use his wisdom and courage to help Jordan overcome difficulties and save the Jordanian people.

But now, people in Jordan are being thrown into prison, and the reason is still weird.

At this time, not only the ordinary people in Jordan, but also the nobles who were very dissatisfied with Christine's contact with Zhou Li made a sound of protest. Because Christine is the spiritual pillar of the Jordanians, they may alienate her politically, but they will always trust and look up to her militarily.

Is he colluding with the weird? Who would believe it? !

Christine's news was so shocking that the death of a not-so-famous Templar was overshadowed. Except for a few Roja's comrades, almost no one paid attention to this matter, and even very few people knew about it.

However, Ishtar remembered and Gerost also remembered that even Christine in prison did not plead her grievance after waking up, but cried bitterly for Roja.

"Confirmed?"

Standing in front of the morgue, looking at the body covered with white cloth, Zhou Li asked the healer aside in a deep voice.

"Confirmed, after comparing a series of data such as blood type, fingerprints, muscle texture, etc., this is the body of Mr. Roya. It is a pity."

Gu Jian

Zhou Li's expression darkened when he heard this. He didn't say much, he just took a deep look at Roja's body, then turned around and left the morgue.

"how's it going?"

Eluma was waiting for him outside. When she saw Zhou Li coming out, Eluma hurriedly greeted him, a bit of unbearable flash in her eyes.

"Confirmed, it's Roja."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Li completely shattered all his illusions and accepted this fact. After hearing the news, Eluma pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and a sad look flashed across her face.

"The Gospel is about to begin."

Zhou Li clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly released them. The black mist that had been boiling in his hands slowly calmed down and entered his body. Eluma on the side held his hand to calm Zhou Li's restless mood.

"Let's go."

Eluma looked at Zhou Li and said softly, "We will defeat it."

"Um."

Zhou Li nodded, and then walked out of the Templar Knights' camp with Eluma. Here, every Templar knight will deeply salute Zhou Li after seeing him. They grit their teeth, their eyes full of sorrow and pain, and the flame of revenge.

They hope Zhou Li can lead them to avenge their comrades.

Zhou Li did not respond to them, he just slowly walked with Eluma in sight. When he arrived at the door, Zhou Li stretched out his hand and held the door handle. With his back to the hundreds of Templar knights who were watching him, Zhou Li slowly spoke:

"In three days, follow me to take revenge."

There is no handwriting from the general, nor any tokens. The Templars, who have always been known for their loyalty, did not hesitate at all. They raised their right hands to their eyebrows, their voices filled with blazing flames.

"clear!"

After walking out of the Knights Templar, Zhou Li took Eluma to the government building. In this building, people's sights changed. They looked at Zhou Li with longing eyes. They hoped that Zhou Li could clear General Christine of his grievances and let Ista, who had been against Christine, Step down and stop participating in politics.

Zhou Li greeted everyone as usual, but he did not clarify anything. He got on the shuttle and arrived at the floor of the Archon's office.

At this time, this floor was already guarded by Istar's personal guards. They did not believe that their general would harm Christine, so they chose to protect the general and prevent the movements of radicals. When they saw Zhou Li, these soldiers were not angry at all when faced with the "culprit" who had put the general under a lot of pressure for no reason. They just saluted neatly and then gave way to the road.

He walked to the door and knocked on the door. Before Ista could respond, Zhou Li opened the door with ease and took Eluma to sit in front of him.

"tired?"

Zhou Li picked up the document in front of Ishtar. At this time, Ishtar looked tired. He had not slept all night. Under the pressure of sleepiness and sadness, Ishtar was in a very low state at this time. He raised his head and glanced at Zhou Li, his face full of exhaustion.

"Is there a problem?"

"help me."

Without any foreplay, Zhou Li went straight to the point: "This matter is not as simple as you think. I need help."

"How can I help you?"

With a sneer, Ishtar spread his hands, with unprocessed documents in front of him, "You forced me into this position and let me be here for your entertainment like a clown. The soldier I admire most died in I can't do anything in front of me, I can't even interrogate suspects, so what use am I to help you, Zhou Li?"

"I didn't make you a consul on a whim, nor did I want to trap you."

Zhou Li's expression was calm, showing no anger at the yin and yang, "In the whole of Jordan, you are the only one who can sit in this position. I have observed everyone, and you are the only one who can do this."

Ista was silent. He knew what Zhou Li meant, but he still asked in confusion: "You want me to maintain the balance between nobles and commoners, but why do you want to abdicate? It's impossible for you to do this with your means and strength. Balance, why are you pushing this on me.”

"Because this location is a trap for me."

Facing the puzzled Ista, Zhou Li tapped the table, his tone calm: "A trap that targets me and only works for me."

Ista frowned, he wanted to ask something, but Zhou Li seemed to see his intention, covered his palm on the table, and shook his head facing Ista.

"what should I do?"

After a long time, Ishtar compromised. He looked at Zhou Li and said coldly: "You have to know that almost everyone now thinks that I have wronged Kristine, and I have almost no credibility in everyone's hearts."

"This is a remission of my duty."

Faced with this problem, Zhou Li admitted it openly. Originally, he put Ishtar in this position to downplay his image, and did not want the people to regard him as a complete personal hero. However, the Gospel directly caused the image of Istar to collapse through an assassination. Zhou Li's subsequent plans were completely blocked, and it can be said that it was an immediate failure.

"But there is still hope."

Zhou Li turned his head and looked out the window at the mist. Then, he said quietly: "Kristen will be murdered at three o'clock in the afternoon. The murderer is a man who uses a silver crossbow."

"What are you going to do?"

Frowning tightly, Ista seemed to be aware of Zhou Li's thoughts, but he did not dare to think about it because it was too crazy.

"And then there's you."

Zhou Li pointed at Ista and said in a cold voice, "You will have your throat broken at five o'clock. According to the detective's analysis, the person who killed you was a man who was 1.85 meters tall and well-proportioned. Moreover, with You had close contact."

"What on earth are you going to do?!"

Facing these words that were like a declaration of death, Ista felt a chill in her heart. He stood up and said warily: "Zhou Li, think clearly, you..."

"I have been playing a game with the Gospels. The rules were set by him before, then by me, and now they are in his hands again."

Zhou Li opened his mouth and suddenly talked about seemingly unrelated things.

"But I'm very unhappy. What I hate most is having rules set by others."

"So, I'm going to play a big game with it."

Standing up, Zhou Li calmed down the black mist surging in his body and said, "Now, I decide this rule, no one else can."

"I want to completely overturn the chessboard in this game."
