Chapter 172 The Duke of Ice Dragon

“Empire’s mission once assassinated here The previous Continent Lord?”

The ivory-white door slowly closed behind him, William asked in disbelief.

“Is there such a thing?”

Although assassination has never been absent from any historical era as a very important political means. But assassination in the name of a mission is a taboo in almost all civilizations.

At this point, whether it is the local human civilization of the Vic continent, or the Elf Race and its derived branches, even the expert who escaped from the Ossis continent to the Quicksand Province, and the Daemon Continent believe in it. The powerful barbarians have reached an amazing consensus in the development of different environments – turning their faces and committing assassination and beheading during the negotiation process is the most despicable and shameless behavior. Even the sinful act of shaking the legitimacy of the ruling to a certain extent.

It is not difficult to understand, because of the existence of supernatural power, the battle strength that some individuals in this world can possess can even be a single army. Therefore, when the diplomatic mission is invited to the center of power to negotiate, if the tacit understanding of mutual defense cannot be maintained, then there will never be a possibility of peace talks between countries.

In history, assassinations through missions can be counted on one’s fingers, and there has never been an assassination that did not kick off a long period of turmoil in later generations.

Breaking a trust takes an instant, but rebuilding it takes far too long.

Forgetting is always harder than remembering.

“Have you Imperial people never written down this good deed you did?”

Moulton walked ahead and asked without looking back.

William recalled the brief history of the Riel Empire that he had read, and even the failure of the battle of drifting was recorded as objectively as possible in the brief history, but this matter was not even mentioned. mentioned.

But now that I think about it, if Awa is captured, then the world known to mankind except the Keel Islands and Daemon Continent will basically be included in the territory of the Riel Empire. At that time, the empire really didn’t need to care about other people’s opinions.

From this point of view, this radical risk-taking behavior is not incomprehensible.

Of course, it’s also possible that the Empire’s desire to conquer Awa actually has other intentions, so that they don’t care about dignity.

However, the eventual failure of the conquest is another matter.

The wide and long cloister gives the castle a sense of religious solemnity. The moonstone is carved into the shape of a teardrop and decorated with silver borders on the Dali stone pillar. The gems are connected by intricate elven inscriptions. Faint rays of light flowed in it, smearing the surrounding with a tulle like the moonlight.

William can feel the magic flowing through it.

If William opens his etheric domain to probe now, he will definitely feel a magic network woven throughout the castle…

“I advise you not to do this. .”

Multon said suddenly.

“After that assassination, the entire interior defense design of the Moon City was all in charge of the consultants of the Tacoma Order. If you don’t want to have any missing body parts before meeting the Queen, I advise You’d better not do that.”

Possibly a glimpse of William’s eyes on the magic circuit around him, Moulton added.

William laughed indifferent expression, then asked, “So, the Order of Tacoma has been with you until now?”

If in this world mortal mages , if anyone else deserves their own vigilance, it must be the members of the Tacoma Order who see the head of the divine dragon but not its tail.

The source of the concept of magic, inheritance is the keeper of the secrets of the gods, and the believers of the all-god “Ma”.

At the same time, he is also the ultimate riddler who never speaks human words.

William, who had dealt with members of the Tacoma, came to the conclusion that the Whispering Queen had a better understanding than the gang.

“It’s not ‘we’…”

Moulton slowed down hearing this, turned his head slightly, and looked at William from the corner of his eye:

“They’re just working with the rulers of Ava.”

But they don’t care who the rulers are, they just want to be advisors to the rulers?

William muttered in the heart.

If the Tacoma Religion is willing to help, then the power balance between Avazhou and the Imperial Expeditionary Force will be leveled in an instant, and may even be overtaken.

The member of the Tacoma Order that William came into contact with claimed to be the rank of “skilled person”, although he did not know what level it was within the order, but at least it didn’t look like the highest rank. order, or the other party would not come to the Vic continent to do research on day and night and seasonal changes in person.

And even the members of the “skilled” rank can cast Divine Domain-level spells, and they are all true powerhouses that are proficient in spells.

unimaginable The overall strength of the Tacoma Order.

This time he came to Avazhou with some thoughts that he hoped to get in touch with them.

Of course, William didn’t expect much of this.

“So, now your Continent Lord Remedios came to power after that assassination?”

After walking about a dozen meters, William suddenly asked.

“Yes, she was the only survivor of that assassination. She was elected as the Continent Lord at the Moon Wheel meeting shortly after.”

“To this day?”

William continued to ask.

“Forever.”

Moulton was only lightly replied to this.

“That’s… cruel.”

William shook the head.

“Cruel to whom, are you?”

Moulton asked.

“Too cruel for her.”

William replied .

Remedios, at least in William’s memory, is a very restless, eager to take risks, which gave up her surname from the other side and set foot on the Vic continent alone. It can be seen in the adventure as a knight-errant.

Politics is not for her.

And eternal reign is even less suitable for a mortal.

Multon didn’t reply, the three of them walked along the silent corridor, and they walked through the entire atrium to a gate made of oregano.

William noticed that a faint mist was constantly drifting out from the crack of the door.

The Temple of the Mists, the center of the Mooncastle, in the past is the throne room of the Lord of the Mists.

“It’s in here?”

William asked.

Multon didn’t say anything, but half-knelt before the gate.

“Your Highness the Queen, Bloodblade asks for an audience.”

Although it is the city of mages, isn’t there even a single guard outside?

William whispered.

It was also at this time that William suddenly realized a problem – it wasn’t just the guards, he hadn’t seen anyone else since they walked into the castle.

…………

“Who to bring up?”

Looking at the Phoenix guard who was leading the retreat, Ward’s expression was a little puzzled.

“The person who was supposed to meet you in Ys City.”

Remedios replied briefly.

“Ys City? Who is it?”

Ward repeated with some doubts.

“A divine enlightener of the Eighth Order, and maybe an ambassador for the imperial family.”

Remedios said, looking at Ward’s puzzled expression, she continued to add Said:

“The person who came to baptism for you.”

“What baptism?”

“Then why did you destroy the communication in Ys City earlier? A technique?”

Seeing the expression on Ward’s face, Remedios asked immediately.

As she asked, she put her hand on the Dragon Crystal glass showcase where her beloved bow “Liu Liyue” was placed, and the ever-changing gorgeous colors began to fade layer by layer.

“It’s been destroyed by overload because of the impeachment vote of the whole people. That is an old technique that has not been maintained for more than 30 years.”

Ward answered inexplicably, he Looking at the serious expression on Remedios’ face, she continued:

“I would be so stupid to use the public spells in the city even if I wanted to contact the Empire?”

“Crack With a sound, the lid of the Dragon Crystal glass showcase opened automatically, and Remedios took out the crystal-clear bow that seemed to melt into the air at any time.

“Then what is your way of contacting the Empire?”

Remedios held the bow that curved like an arc moon in her hand, and put the dragon scale inlaid with the bow. The quiver was hung on his waist, and an arrow was pulled out and rolled in his hand.

Ward grew up listening to the “knight-errant” story, and he swallowed as he watched the glazed moon, which is said to be able to shoot an adult giant dragon into the sky with one arrow.

Therefore, Ward naturally did not dare to neglect her question, and he replied immediately:

“Smuggling ships, I have always been in contact with the Empire through smuggling ships… “

“Will smuggling ships work for the Empire?”

Everyone knows that most of those smuggling ships that have traveled between Ava and the Vic continent over the years have Relations between imperial officials were not so harmonious. After all, who would want to risk their shipwreck on a sea of shattered, shattered seas, if not out of a choice?

Remedios turned her head and glanced at the misty crown on the side, and then focused her attention on the door of the collection room.

“They didn’t know who they were working for, and until now they thought their biggest client was just a desperately rich Elf Race craft hobbyist in Stone Cold.”

Seeing Remedios’ behavior, Ward answered quickly, and then he asked nervously:

“What happened?”

“If If it’s not the Eighth Order, who are you collaborating with, the imperial family?”

Remedios did not answer his question, but continued to ask in a cold tone.

“I do have a connection with the imperial family, but the imperial family is a very broad concept…”

Ward replied.

“The point.”

The arrow in her hand began to flash deep blue rays of light.

“The biggest financier behind those smuggling ships, and our biggest trading partner over the years, is the current Duke of Ice Dragon, Grey Riel, the big brother who was exiled to Lengyuan by Queen Irene, The current guardian of Stone Cold.”

Although I don’t know if this arrow will target me, Ward, who sensed the fierce killing intent, replied directly.

At this time, Remedios turned her head and looked towards him, staring at him for a long time, until she saw that he was a little nervous.

“You know, the relationship between their siblings has never been so good, er… harmonious?”

Ward, who was staring at him so unbearably, spread his hand, explained directly.

“That’s why you’ve always insisted that our peace talks with the Empire have leverage?”

Remedios asked after a moment of silence.

“It’s also the reason why I have always insisted not to meet force with force with the empire. It is not necessary to use our precious clansman to exchange with each other. When the time comes, they will go back obediently.”

Ward seemed helpless to answer.

“Then why didn’t you bring it up directly at the Moon Wheel meeting?”

Remedios continued to ask.

“Am I crazy to tell everyone about Grey Riel’s plan to take back the throne? If one of you has leaked the news, don’t say you won’t, just the news If it reaches the White House, then my layout in Stone Cold Province over the years will be completely ruined.”

Ward’s plan is actually very simple, to make peace with the Empire, but not under the rule of Queen Irene Empire, but an empire under the future Emperor Grey.

If the Empire wants to completely swallow the Awa Continent, at least three Legions need to be stationed, and at least three Divine Domain level powerhouses must be in town, and they must be all the direct line troops that Queen Irene absolutely trusts. Row.

In this way, the Platinum Province will fall into a state of internal emptiness, and Gray Riel can take advantage of the emptiness to take advantage of the time when the troops stationed in Avazhou cannot effectively return to the rescue. It should have belonged to his own throne.

As the key to this plan, Ava Continent naturally has enough chips to bargain with the empire.

Thinking of this, Ward’s face once again showed a puzzled expression.

“You didn’t know the plan between me and Duke Ice Dragon? Then why did you arrest me?”

Remedios didn’t say anything, but instead frowned like thinking about something?

“You think I’m working with the Eighth Order?”

Ward asked tentatively, but Remedios didn’t answer.

This convinced Ward that this was the case.

“Where did the information about the Eighth Order come from?”

Ward continued to ask.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he directly said:

“Morton Bloodblade is right there?”

Remedios slowly Nominate.

“I’ve said it before, don’t believe him, he can’t hold anything else in his mind except war and honor, when the time comes…”

“sou!”

Before Ward’s words were finished, an arrow rubbed his cheek, and the whistling wind instantly tightened his back, and then he couldn’t stop sweating flow down.

A faint pain came from his cheek, followed by the feeling that something warm was slowly leaving along his cheek.

Ward’s sanity was blank for a second or two, and then he turned his head like a wooden man and looked towards Remedios, who was pulling a bow like a moon.

Then, Ward followed her gaze and looked towards his back.

A Phoenix guard was nailed to the wall, his armor was covered with bloodshot marks, and his eyes were red, and there was no sense of reason at all.
