The boring life of the white devil

He obviously said that he would always be friends with Xiaoya. He was obviously present when something like that happened, but he was powerless and watched helplessly as such a thing happened.

Fortunately, Ai Fuluo had already taken it, and the dagger would not cause too much harm to the body.

Although Soleichuan can still accomplish what he wants to do if he joins Chrisman now, those old men who only want power and rank should also help him.But for some reason, from the moment he saw Chrisman, Soleichuan felt that his scent was not compatible with his.As for the always angry Ai Fuluo, even though he often got angry and quarreled with himself, he still found it somewhat interesting.

The hall was already in a mess, the burnt smell from the tables and chairs was difficult to dissipate for a while, and the glass windows looking out to the courtyard were all broken.With the little light coming in from outside, it didn't seem like I could maintain a good view.

Aicilia lit a flame in her hand so that her eyes could see more clearly.

Occasionally there are a few mottled blood stains on the ground, which are the traces left by the panic of the women and officials leading to the stampede.

It seems that the closer people are to the royal city, the more qualified they are. Soleichuan laughed at those people in his heart.

There was almost nothing in the room, even the food had been burned to powder, leaving only some fragments of wine glasses and some unburned table and chair legs.

Soleichuan smacked his mouth. Are we going to get nothing done like this?Unwilling to be reconciled, he continued to patrol the hall and kept walking. When walking, he tried to pick some places without ashes to pass by.

"Have those people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs been here since then?" Soleichuan asked. If those people never show up again, then there may be no evidence here.

"No more. They were almost gone when we arrived. But..." The guard hesitated when he spoke.

"but what?"

This may be the key here.

"Those magicians looked like they were wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Library Team. Can the Ministry of Internal Affairs mobilize people from the Library Team? Because it was night, we couldn't see too clearly. When we arrived, the seven or eight The magician had already left, and only his back was seen. Those who passed by were also described to us by the secretary of the Speaker of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mr. Xiliman."

Chapter 18 The Magical Seven

"What kind of organization is the Library Team?"

When Soleichuan asked this question, he was sitting on the sofa in the Cooktern Mansion, drinking tea made by Marcus, and felt that he was extremely tired.

Regarding the Imperial Library Team, Soleichuan only knew that it was an organization ruled and led by the Magic Seven.

The Magic Seven is an association established by the seven most proficient in magic and the most prestigious in the magic world in the empire, representing the highest level of magic in the empire.But they don't often appear in front of people like the military or the church.

It can be said that even some of the affairs officers and speakers have never seen the face of any of them.They devote themselves almost all day to studying magic, or the balance between magic and the world.Magic has become the mainstream of the world, so the degree of magic development is a symbol of a country's strength.

It was the Magical Seven who opened the Imperial Library. This organization existed immediately after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Four of the first Magical Seven were the original Twelve Knights.

The Imperial Library Corps is a tool for managing the balance between the empire and magic. It is a legal armed force established by the Magic Seven to balance magic in the world.

Except for some matters that violate the Empire's magic regulations, the Imperial Library Team does not accept deployment from anyone, except the King of Heroes.The Magic Seven and the Imperial Library are, to some extent, an extremely mysterious organization in the eyes of most people.

That's why the guard felt strange. It was rare for even the library team to be dispatched.

"That is to say, the library team will be dispatched. This is definitely a very, very strange thing, right?" Soleichuan took a sip of tea. He immediately wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep, but there were still some problems that had to be solved that had to be dealt with. After all, you must first set a goal for tomorrow’s action.

"Yes, this is not a normal thing. You can go to the library team to investigate tomorrow." Aicilia made a reasonable suggestion.

"If it is such a mysterious organization, will it accept letting us in?" Soleichuan asked worriedly.

"I am a true knight recognized by the church. You are also the most popular imperial hero in the hearts of people in the empire. There is no obstacle. We can go to the library to explore first. It is not necessary to tell the true purpose. The mysterious one is the Magic Seven. The library team is just relatively rare. The members of the library team are basically normal civilians, and it's just a job."

"Indeed, there are also Wu..." Suo Leichuan suddenly felt that he was losing his nerve and stopped talking.

Because during the trip to the icy plateau, there was a person like Uzi Cusie, the first-class librarian, so when he first arrived at St. Florid for interrogation, there were also people from the library team.They didn't seem to have any trouble about the death of Uzi Kusi. The first-class library is also a relatively senior position in the library team. The slightly mocking expressions of those people after hearing the news of the death will never be forgotten by Soleichuan. , some humans are just so indifferent.

After arriving in St. Floride, the person who said goodbye to Soleichuan and the others was Luo Di. He said that because there were too many powerful magicians in the capital, they could no longer travel together, and then disappeared without a trace. No trace.

"Ah! When can I take a nap peacefully!" Soleichuan became crazy, "I thought I could have a good rest after coming to St. Floride."

"As a devil that everyone despises, are you too relaxed?" Aicilia had finished drinking the tea in the cup and stretched. She was also sleepy, so she yawned and said, "I But I know there is a way to always take a nap."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up again if I use your method."

Aicilia always entertained Soleichuan by providing some cruel methods.

Early the next morning, when the sun was just rising above the horizon, Soleichuan was woken up by Marcus.

"Master, it's time to get up. If you don't get up, it will be too late."

Soleichuan opened his eyes in confusion, "Who is it...Marcus, please let me sleep a little longer...it's not urgent to go to the library..."

"Sir, are you too sleepy? What kind of library is this? Today is the day of the regular Congress! If you don't get up, you may not be able to make it."

As an experienced housekeeper, Marcus knew which day of the week was the regular Congress day, basically every other day.

"What!" Soleichuan himself just remembered this matter.

Before being officially sent to the front lines to participate in the war, as an Empire hero, he must attend a regular parliament together with the leader of the Crimson Knights.

Soleichuan hurriedly finished putting on the military uniform. When he rushed downstairs, he found that Aicilia had already put on her uniform and was eating breakfast at the dining table.

"So you know today is a regular day of Congress!"

"So you don't know?" Aicilia stuffed a mouthful of bread into her mouth and took another sip of milk.

"It's strange to know! I kept talking about going to the library yesterday, and the Congress and other things have long been forgotten!"

"Hero of the Empire, please pay attention to your identity before speaking. Everything you say and do now represents the image of the Empire."

Suoleichuan stopped talking nonsense and started eating breakfast.

Looking at the grandfather clock in the restaurant, I felt that I still had plenty of time, and felt a lot more relieved.

In fact, the matter of becoming a Hero of the Empire was planned by Ai Fuluo behind the scenes, and it was he who continued to advise Dio Astaire before recommending Soleichuan to become a Hero of the Empire.He is the best able to understand what the empire needs most at present, and he can always judge and prepare matters that are most beneficial to the empire.

First create an imperial hero, exaggerate his achievements and abilities, let the people believe and worship him, and then let the military and the imperial hero cooperate to improve the prestige and cohesion of the military. Although it cannot fundamentally change the war situation in the south , but at least the momentum can be improved a lot.

He could see that that guy Soleichuan had no intention of being an enemy of the empire, nor was he a devil full of taboos and heinous crimes as the legend said.Although I don't like his lazy look, he is still a person who can be used.For some reason, Ai Fuluo was sure that the white-haired man would not do anything detrimental to the empire.

And most importantly, it allows the heroes of the Empire to take the blame.When you are defeated again, you can let all the reasons and resentments be pushed towards the heroes of the empire.

Ai Fuluo originally designed it this way. Everything in the original plan was wonderful. He could return to the battlefield in a few days, taking the heroes of the empire with him.

But now, he is willing to eat the unpalatable breakfast in prison.

Chapter 19 The broken balance

Although it was not yet time to officially open the regular parliament, when Soleichuan and Aicilia arrived at the palace, the affairs officials were already discussing what happened last night in private.

When Yamelo was assassinated, no matter who knew it, it would not be surprising.The news yesterday had already made everyone in the royal city aware of this matter.

When it was almost time for the Congress, Dio Astaire slowly walked out of the curtained door on the side of the throne.

It looked like he was walking with difficulty, after all, there were so many heavy decorations used to highlight the royal family's dignity on that small body.

When they saw Dio sitting on the throne, all the people below fell silent and looked at the King of Heroes IV quietly according to where they should stand.

Dio's expression was full of displeasure, and he was the first to speak, "What happened to Yamelo yesterday!"

Contrary to Soleichuan's imagination, his brother, who clearly didn't come to his sister's birthday party yesterday, showed full anger on this throne.

There was silence down there, and not many people knew the whole story. Even the stewards who attended the dinner were immersed in fear and had no impression of last night except fear.

"Your Majesty, I was also present at yesterday's banquet. It was obviously a well-planned assassination and conspiracy." The first person to speak was Chrisman. As one of the few old conservatives left, his speech in Congress was Words still have a certain weight, "Fortunately, Captain Schleon, who has amazing action and judgment, controlled the suspect Mr. Ai Fuluo."

Now all the evidence and public opinion point to Ai Fuluo. It only takes a few simple words to penetrate people's hearts and identify Ai Fuluo as a real criminal.

"I don't think Ai Fuluo has such a motive." Fortunately, Dio has not fully agreed with such a thing. "No matter what the war situation in the south is now, Mr. Ai Fuluo has always been for the empire since he entered this palace. And while he is struggling, I don’t think there is any reason for him to hurt Yamelo.”

"About this, I also find it very strange. There is no reason for this. But the dagger used to assassinate Princess Yamelo that day was the ancestral secret treasure of Lord Aiflor's family. No one else knew that it was stored in Where is it?" Chrisman didn't say anything, but everyone knew that he would spare no effort to add insult to injury.

"Schleon, what do you think?" Dio asked the captain of the Gotei Guards who also came to the Diet today.

Schleon was full of hesitation and said, "It is true that I put Lord Aiflor in prison last night, but when I woke up this morning, I also thought that there might be something fishy about this matter. I am just a soldier guarding the palace. , some of these things cannot be seen clearly. But as far as I know, Lord Ai Fuluo has indeed never had any contact with the princess. "

"If there is a reason, there may be a reason." Chrisman immediately took over the words, "As we all know, Mr. Ai Fuluo is an impulsive young man. He has always been able to clear all roadblocks that block his way forward. His style of doing things. And Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot be an obstacle. In addition, Lord Ai Fuluo himself is a resourceful person. I think if he really wants to assassinate the princess, he will definitely not be able to use the ancestral secret treasure in his family. "

"What do you mean?" Dio frowned.

"The old man has opposed some of his opinions in Congress more than once... I'm afraid... Mr. Ai Fuluo's actions this time are also to frame the old man." Xiliman suddenly changed his tone to a victim. "Everyone will think that it is impossible for someone to use such an obvious method to kill someone, to commit murder, or to be framed. In fact, the princess did not die, nor did she suffer much harm, so this assassination There is definitely another purpose. There are many ways to put people to death, and there are many ways to accuse Mr. Ai Fuluo. There is no need to use the blood sacrificial dagger that only Ai Fuluo can find. Framing Ai Fuluo. The most suspicious person for Mr. Flo... I'm afraid he is an old man."

Soleichuan had to admire Chrisman's approach. He stated all the possibilities to confuse other people's ideas.Even Soleichuan was a little troubled. He had just reconsidered who the person who assassinated Xiaoya was. Chrisman's words were not unreasonable.

The King of Heroes on the throne was also obviously in extreme hesitation. At such an age, he could not judge whether these things were true or false.

In the past, those who could compete with these cunning conservatives were the radicals led by Ai Fuluo.He can always put forward some useful suggestions and ideas. These days, Dio also relies on Ai Fuluo to judge many things.

But now that Ai Fuluo is in jail.

The balance in Congress has been upset.

The young men under Ai Fuluo gritted their teeth and wanted to punch that Xiliman a few times.

But without Ai Fuluo, those young people would have no say at all. The control of the palace now lies in Chrisman's hands.

Soleichuan thought of a flaw in Chrisman's speech just now.

According to what Soleichuan knew, Shi Leon did not meet anyone when he escorted Xiaoya back to his palace last night. Soleichuan and Shi Leon also agreed that what happened last night would not be mentioned in the next Congress. Or tell anyone, including the princess's condition, before Aiflor's trial.So how did Chrisman know such a thing?

Soleichuan did not expose it on the spot. There is still no conclusive evidence that Chrisman framed Ai Fuluo and harmed Princess Yamelo. There is no need to alert the snake, and there is no need to reveal his intention to which faction he prefers so early. .

In this Congress, Soleichuan and Aicilia barely expressed their opinions and just watched the development of the situation.

As for the final result, the young people under Ai Fuluo still couldn't hold back their anger.After Chrisman continued to denigrate Ivoro, they finally turned this Congress into a place where conservatives and radicals quarreled.

And the young king looked so lonely, so helpless and helpless on the throne.Suoleichuan thought that maybe the loneliest person in the world was the so-called king.

The King of Heroes, who enjoys the highest reputation on this continent, is also the same. He also hopes that someone can help him.But because of his position, as the holder of the crown, he will become more and more lonely.

This is also unavoidable.

Chapter 20 The Lion and the Devil in Prison

After the Congress, Soreichuan and Aicilia did not go to the library to investigate what happened last night as they had said before.Instead, he went to the prison where Aiflor was being held.

Similarly, he was able to enter that prison by taking advantage of his convenient identity as an empire hero.

When I saw Ai Fuluo, he was lying on the wooden bed behind the iron bars, with his butt facing the prison door, and his face could not be seen clearly.There was only one shirt on him, which was stained and covered with dust.

"Is it my turn to be the Hero of the Empire to interrogate me this time?" Ai Fuluo has been questioned by interrogators from the Ministry of Justice countless times since last night, and he is exhausted by now. "It's really an honor."

"I have some questions to ask him. Can you prepare a room for us? No one is allowed to come near." Soleichuan was trying to make a request to the cell leader, although he knew that it might not be accepted.

Unexpectedly, the prison chief agreed easily, "The Lord of the Ministry of Justice said that the Hero of the Empire will definitely come, and he will be able to satisfy any request by then."

In this way, Ai Fuluo was put into a room surrounded by iron walls alone.

Ai Fuluo and Soleichuan, whose hands and feet were all shackled, sat face to face on either side of a small wooden table.

"Are the affairs officers of the Ministry of Justice also conservative? Or are they from you?" Soleichuan was not very clear about the structure of these factions.

"No, it's neutral." There was still anger in Ai Fuluo's black eyes, but he was holding back from exploding. "Tell me, what are you looking for me for? Are you here to make fun of me, or are you? What to do."

"None of them." Soleichuan smiled, "Isn't there still a transaction between us that has not been completed?"

"It's been so long and there's no deal left. Do you think I'm still capable of helping you with your deal now?"

"It's not that there is no chance of reversal. No matter how careful the plan is, there will be flaws." Old guys like Soleichuan and Chrisman have no interest in cooperating. "How about, I will help you get out of this prison. Then you come and become part of my power.”

Ai Fuluo suddenly laughed, "Devil, do you mean that you want me to be your subordinate? This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. What do you want a prisoner to do for you?"

"Save the entire Percy Empire!" Although Soleichuan smiled, his atmosphere was serious.

Ai Fuluo didn't think Soleichuan was joking, but thought he was talking nonsense, "Even without you, I will still drive those scum from the south out of the empire."

"Is it really the empire you want to save? Or... is it just the empire?" Soleichuan moved closer.

"Don't say something incomprehensible, I can't understand it."

Soleichuan could not say any more. The current Ai Fuluo may not understand that saving the empire and saving the royal family are two different things. If the legends on the cold plateau are true, then the one who will destroy the empire must be the King of Heroes!And if he really wants to save the empire, Soleichuan is currently very lacking in helpers. He and Aicilia alone cannot reach the level of defeating the hero.

However, there is no way to say these things now. The only way is to gain Ai Fuluo's trust first and let him know that he indeed hopes that the empire will develop for the better.

"I just hope you can believe me. Even if I am a devil, I hope this country can have more laughter."

That's right, even if Soleichuan didn't say anything, Ai Fuluo would have known about such a thing for a long time.If it weren't for that naive mood, no one would have killed the devil entrenched in the north, and would have returned to St. Floride, a place where everyone once despised him.

Ai Fuluo had long known that the white devils in the north were preparing to attack the Central Continent. He had been fighting on the southern front before. He was still worried about the situation in the north but was helpless. He did not expect Solei, who had been sentenced to a first-level heretic. Chuan actually brought back Crawford's head, so he put aside the war and returned to the imperial capital.

This is why Ai Fuluo tried his best to help him transform into a hero of the empire.Just killing Crawford was enough to make him a national icon.

Ai Fuluo has already trusted Soleichuan enough.

"However, it is no longer possible for me to have the power I had before. Even if I am released from prison later, with the current level of slander by Chrisman and others in the military, it is no longer possible for me to return to the military." Ai Fuluo After a sneer, he continued, "The people outside are already scolding the military. Now for the King of Heroes, the best thing to do is to cut through the chaos with a sharp knife and pile all the stigma on my head. . Whether it is the crime of harming the royal family, whether it is fruitless to resist the invasion, or whether it is constantly provoking factional wars, all these things will be put on my head and I will be killed. Put the conservative people back into the military affairs With the position of official speaker, we can at least calm down this turmoil.”

Ai Fuluo's words are not unreasonable. Judging from the ambiguous attitude of the King of Heroes this morning, the situation may eventually be like this.The King of Heroes will give up on learning the final truth and follow the trend and execute Ai Fuluo.

The military is now in chaos. If a new military affairs officer and chairman do not take office immediately, the southern front will collapse immediately, and the imperial capital will be swallowed up by Naren's lions.
