Lucas sat down on the chair on the side of the study, took a sip of the hot cocoa sent by William the butler, calmed down and said:
"Just now, a mysterious man in black came to the Golden Chicken Legs Castle to look for me. He told me some of His Highness Robert's recent situation. At that time, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak...Forget it, let me let you know.
He will tell you personally!"
"Where is the man in black now?" Jessica asked quickly.
This is a major event that affects the rest of her life, and she cares about it more than anyone else now.
"He's right outside the castle!" Lucas pointed outside in shock.
"William, bring him in!" the Marquis of the River ordered.
"Okay, sir!"
...
Five minutes later, a man in black, wrapped tightly in black cloth, walked into the study on the third floor.
This man in black looks extremely mysterious. Not only is his whole body covered with black cloth, but his face and eyes are also covered by black cloth.
After entering the study, the man in black did not start talking immediately. Instead, he took out a badge with a blue lion engraved on it from his pocket and wore it solemnly on his chest.
Marquis River's eyes suddenly froze when he saw this blue lion badge, because he seemed to have heard of this badge somewhere.
But after thinking about it carefully, I seem to have forgotten it.
So the Marquis of Rivers shook his head and turned to look at Lucas: "Who is he?"
Before Lucas had time to answer, a low and hoarse voice sounded from under the black cloth of the man in black:
"Seeing this badge, you should know who I am, right?"
The Marquis of Rivers thought for a while and shook his head again. He really couldn't remember what the blue lion badge meant.
The man in black sighed: "Forget it, maybe you have really forgotten who is the real owner of this land."
The man in black sounded a little lonely: "Let's get down to business. I came to Yoen City to convey the master's will!"
The man in black released his fighting spirit as he spoke, and the strength of the lower level of the sky level was undoubtedly revealed.
The man in black is actually a sky-level powerhouse!
The Marquis of River and Jessica were shocked, and their expressions became serious at the same time.
The strength of the man in black is at the lower level of the sky level, so how strong will his "master" be?
The pinnacle of the sky level?
Even a strong man from the holy realm?!
It’s unimaginable!
...
After the man in black showed his strength, he took out a colorful mirror made of crystals of different colors from his arms, and said:
"This is a mirror made of 'memory crystal', which can preserve what happened in the past in the form of pictures and sounds.
What you will see later is the footage collected yesterday afternoon. After viewing it, you will definitely understand why I came to see you, the respected Marquis of the River."
The man in black didn't wait for the Marquis of River to answer, and directly input his fighting energy into the crystal mirror. The crystal mirror projected the image onto the wall like a projector.
The Marquis of River and Jessica didn't care to speak and hurriedly looked at the screen.
...
There is a person standing in the center of the picture, this person is Robert Violet.
At this time, his face was dark, his pupils were flashing with red light, and behind him stood a man in black clothes wrapped in black cloth.
The background of the picture was very familiar to the Marquis of River, and he was afraid that Jessica would not understand it, so he explained to Jessica:
"Jessica, the place in the picture is the palace of Palomia, where His Highness Robert lives."
Jessica nodded without speaking and continued to stare at the picture on the wall.
...
In the picture, Robert is walking towards the main hall of the palace with a black sword and a man in black, which is where Grand Duke Lane has his office.
Seeing Robert's route of action, Marquis River's expression suddenly became serious.
What is Robert going to do? Could it be...
The Marquis of the River was shocked and continued to look down.
…
Robert and the man in black did not encounter any guards along the way, and only the sound of rustling footsteps came from the mirror.
But at this point in the scene, unless the Marquis of Rivers was hopelessly stupid, he could have guessed what Robert was about to do.
So the Marquis of River held his breath and waited for the next development of the situation.
...
Robert and the man in black pushed the door open and walked into the hall. The voice of Albert Violet, Grand Duke of Lane, came from the main seat of the hall:
"You're here, Robert...wait, who is this person next to you?"
Robert did not answer his father's question, but stood still with his sword and said to his father:
"You no longer have to make sacrifices for your people, and you no longer have to bear the weight of the crown. I have taken care of everything."
After speaking, Robert walked towards his father with a long black sword in hand.
"Wait a minute. Robert, what are you doing?!" The Grand Duke was shocked and asked Robert.
"Inherit you, father!"
Robert stabbed his father with a long black sword.
"Just based on your Silver level strength?"
Grand Duke Lane smiled contemptuously, and the protective fighting energy of Sky Level burst out of his body. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed Robert's black sword.
But Grand Duke Lane suddenly discovered that his arm was no longer under his control! Moreover, the body-protecting vindictiveness also completely dissipated in a matter of seconds.
"Poof!"
The black sword stabbed the Archduke in the abdomen without any hindrance, impaling him completely.
Archduke Ryan fell to the ground, but looked straight at the man in black behind Robert:
"You...who are you?"
The man in black smiled, but his laughter was worse than the crow of the crow in the dark forest.
The man in black didn't say anything, but carefully took out a blue lion badge from his coat pocket and put it on his chest.
At the same time, he released his strength without reservation. For a moment, the entire hall seemed to have turned into a cemetery in the wilderness, with crows surrounding the dead trees and chirping, a scene of doomsday.
Grand Duke Lane's pupils shrank sharply: "Saint realm powerhouse! And, Lane badge? Are you a remnant of the Lane family?!"
"The remnants? Haha."
The man in black spoke in a voice that was as harsh as bones rubbing against each other. He stepped forward and kicked Archduke Ryan:
"Have you forgotten why the name of the country is 'Principality of Lane' instead of 'Principality of Violet'? When your Violet family stole our territory and slaughtered all my people, it's time to repay the debt!"
After the man in black finished speaking, he put his hand on Archduke Lane's head. After struggling painfully for a while, Archduke Lane completely lost consciousness.
Robert pulled out the black sword stuck in his father's abdomen, knelt down on one knee fervently, and presented the sword stained with his father's blood to the man in black.
The picture ends here.
…
A few minutes after the scene ended, the study room of the Golden Wolf King Castle was quiet. The faces of the four Earls of the River were pale. There were countless things they wanted to say in their hearts, but they could not say them out.
Chapter completed!
