Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 369 The Madman's Ambition

Late Night King City Tist

After Duke Garcia drove many of his children out of the mansion, the Lion Palace of Nuoda looked very lonely, and most of the rooms in the palace had been emptied, which made the complex palace that was originally like a maze very confusing. It is easier for people to get lost in it. Several maids have disappeared in it, and no one has seen them again.

The door of Duke Garcia's study has not been opened for a long time, and even the guards guarding the door were dismissed by the acting Duke Prince Pedro, and the entire second half of the palace has completely become a no-man's land.

But even this can't stop a black shadow coming in from the outside. The mysterious visitor floats in the uninhabited corridor like a ghost. It seems that he is familiar with the path here, so he quickly found his destination. The Throne Hall and the The Emperor Blood Throne in the center.

At this time, there was no one in the noisy throne hall, and no one even lit the candles, making it impossible for outsiders to see clearly what was hidden in the darkness.

But the visitor stood under the throne, because there was a man sitting on it.

"You're here." Sitting on the duke's throne is Pedro, who has declared himself the supreme duke without the check and balance of his brothers. The scepter made of mithril overlooked his feet just like his father once did, but there was only emptiness here.

The stranger did not speak. Although the man sitting on the throne may be the actual supreme ruler of the principality, he is no different in the eyes of his master.

"It really surprises me that you let your brothers and sisters go away instead of sacrificing them to the master." The mysterious man walked around the throne, walking around the courtyard as if in his own garden Slow walk in general.

"Only those I love are worth sacrificing. Those father's useless descendants are not even worth killing them." Pedro said in a cold tone, he really didn't care about the rest of his brothers and sisters. emotion.

"Then what about your brother? That Hunian is imprisoned in the dungeon by you at this time. Shouldn't you let him sleep forever, who has been looked down upon by him?"

Pedro snorted coldly. He had been dissatisfied with the master's messenger for always pointing fingers at him for a long time, but because he still asked for this person, he has been holding back until now.

"I spared his life to let him see how my illegitimate son, who has always been looked down upon by him, led the Garcia family to its peak! Not only do I want to rule this kingdom, but I also want to make all nine kingdoms prostrate at my feet. to me!"

"Do you want to be the emperor of the empire?" The visitor was a little surprised, but soon realized that this guy who sacrificed his most important person had more ambition than that, "Your ambition is too big, Pedro, in the tower When Nice was still an independent kingdom, the king here tried to challenge the authority of the Holy Light Dynasty and call himself emperor, but unfortunately, he was finally tied up and burned alive on the throne, which is the blood throne you are sitting on now , don't you want to follow in the footsteps of that mad king and die for your own ambition?"

"Yes! Since the God-blessed Holy Light Dynasty can be replaced by the Condor Empire, then the Garcia family can also be king!" Pedro said firmly. After sacrificing everything, he has no way of turning back. The power of a kingdom vainly wants to overthrow the empire and ascend to the supreme throne. This is something only a lunatic can dream up, and the one sitting on the throne now is a lunatic.

He stretched out his hand, revealing the crown ring on his finger, as if he wanted to be kissed by the visitor. After being conquered by the Central Empire of the Westland and becoming a subsidiary principality, the coronation of the Duke of Tanis in history required two things, a scepter made by a dwarf Pedro and the crown ring cast by the elves already have it, but the Tanis crown needed to be king has been taken away by the Holy Light Dynasty during the "Great Conquest" period, and it is displayed in the white tower of the imperial capital as a symbol of submission Nisi must never betray the overlord of the Western Land and her successors.

The mysterious man stood under the throne and looked at him. The master was right. Human ambitions can never be satisfied. It is precisely because of this that the king of the labyrinth can control human beings, and the tragedy of being fooled is repeated over and over again.

"It has nothing to do with us that you want to be the emperor. The agreement you reached with the master is to send you to the position of duke. Now I am here to take back the previously agreed 'reward' on his behalf."

Before the mysterious man finished speaking, the acting duke threw forward a thick scroll case, which was full of the human secrets that the abyss ruler longed for, and it was also the original secret.

"These are the secrets of reincarnation that the master wants to know, and the precious information that has been guessed after countless experiments on Black Watch. I hope we can clear things up."

The mysterious man sent the blood-soaked scroll case into another space, but he didn't intend to leave, "I'm done talking about official business, but now I want to talk about some private matters."

"What's a private matter, my size..." Before Pedro finished speaking, the mysterious man had appeared in front of him, and at the same time, a foot-long fingernail protruded from the cloak against his neck. Move it and you will be killed instantly.

"I have warned you under the order of the master, don't touch Stannis! How dare you send someone to kill him, are you impatient?"

Faced with such an aggressive questioning, Pedro didn't seem to care. He knew that the other party would definitely ask this question this time, "You said you were under the order of the master? But why did I get the order to use every opportunity to kill you?" killed him."

"What?" This answer confused the mysterious man, because before the end of the day, Stannis was still very useful, or he was the most important part of the whole plan.

"Why, you don't believe it?" Pedro tilted his head and smiled, "It should be, you know our master's name, "King of the Labyrinth of Deceit", so he can tease anyone, including you and me Besides, even without the approval of the master, I still want to get rid of this guy. That little count actually wanted to rebel against our Garcia rule. If you hadn't been protecting him all the time, he would have died long ago, and nothing happened. It will develop to where it is today.”

The mysterious man remained silent. If the master really ordered to get rid of Stannis, then he would definitely not live long.

"However, that Stannis is also quite capable. He has developed such a powerful strength in such a short period of time. It will take a little effort to get rid of him now, but this will make the game more interesting. Using him again will oppose After all my forces have been lured out, I will wipe out all the lords who dare to be dissatisfied with the Garcia family, and then I can rest assured that I can embark on the road to conquer the empire."

"Then I wish you good luck!" After speaking, the mysterious man turned and left, leaving Pedro alone on the throne.

But the acting duke, who already regarded himself as the conqueror of the empire, seemed not satisfied. "You can't save him. I have dispatched an army to attack him. After seven days, his head will hang under the king's city!"
