Chapter 1261: An Confession (Next, ask for a monthly ticket)
Although everyone in the palace had their own agendas, hidden secrets in their words, and fought with each other endlessly, it was always quiet outside the main hall.
A large group of burly guards stood silently in the corridor of the palace.
They were fully armed, wearing bright Guards armor, with long swords hanging from their waists. They stood motionless against the wall with their backs straightened.
Each one of them frowned and looked murderous.
Opposite them were four attendants who had followed De Rossi and his son.
The appearance of these attendants is also quite strange. Instead of being young warriors with handsome looks and tall figures, each one of them is quite old-looking.
They looked as if they were in their fifties or sixties, all skinny and skinny, and wore large and loose uniforms, which looked as ridiculous as if they had an oversized lantern hanging under their shoulders.
And in the cool summer breeze, I have to bend down and cough a few times from time to time.
All the imperial guards looked at it and couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts.
Just like the honor guard is the face of the country, the trusted bodyguards are the face of the nobles. Each one must be carefully selected. Not only must they be highly skilled in martial arts, but more importantly, they must be tall, tall, young and handsome.
Only those bumpkins from the countryside really had no choice, so they picked a few bumpkins from the countryside to make up the numbers.
But De Rossi is the Duke of the country, a noble among the nobles. He gets a lot of salary every year. When eating breakfast, he also buys two bowls of soy milk and drinks one bowl and another. It is a waste of money.
But now we have found a few skinny old men who pick up garbage and temporarily pulled them out to make up the money.
From this point of view, De Rossi really lost all his trousers in Naian and could not even afford to hire an attendant.
***, this is too embarrassing.
If you don’t know, you might still think that all the nobles of the Kingdom of Leiria are paupers~!
This is not only a disgrace to the De Rossi father and son, but also a disgrace to the Kingdom of Leiria...
However, while everyone was thinking wildly, they did not extend their ears into the palace.
After all, what Duke De Rossi and his son did was so big that the whole kingdom was talking about it. Although little people like them were unable to get involved, their gossip souls were still burning brightly.
Moreover, fortunately, it is summer, and although top-secret meetings are being held inside the palace, most of the windows are open for ventilation.
Therefore, as long as you calm down and hear the sounds in the room faintly.
The voice was gentle at times, like a crowd whispering.
Sometimes it was loud and intense, and it was obvious that someone was arguing loudly.
The atmosphere outside the door sometimes became tense and sometimes relaxed depending on the sound level inside the door.
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel itchy.
The Guards have already received the order. Their task today is extremely important - as soon as they receive the king's order, they will immediately open the door and rush in to arrest Duke de Rossi and his son. Bring this pair of sinners who have caused disaster to the country and the people.
The carriage was prepared long ago and then thrown into prison.
In order to carry out this major political task related to the security of the country, the Imperial Guards also made careful plans from top to bottom.
They polish their boots very early in the morning so they are as shiny as mirrors. Even when they put their feet on the skirts of women, they are immediately regarded as hooligans and scolded.
Not only that, they even took out the ceremonial clothes that they were usually reluctant to wear, and polished and waxed their armor three times. The light could blind people.
Arrest a Duke~!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will go down in history.
For thousands of years on the mainland, every time a nobleman above the marquis level was arrested, there would always be a bloody storm and political turmoil.
And as those who have experienced it, they have enough capital to brag about it for a long time at a banquet full of charming ladies.
Maybe, she will be invited into the boudoir by a lady who is interested in the coup.
Although no one has ever seen this kind of thing, there are always such legends circulating every year, and the versions are constantly changing and renovating, stimulating the nerves of these young men who have just entered estrus.
The entry requirements for the Imperial Guard are extremely high. Being able to get in naturally means that the family background is not bad, but that's the only limit. Those with a really good background and a good father will have already entered government agencies or become officials in the army.
How could you just be a soldier?
These people are either small and powerful in their families, or are descendants of a big family, or even illegitimate children. Although they are better than ordinary people, they naturally don't even think about things like titles and property. Many times, they can only be
Relying on the lingering shadow of my ancestors, I lived my whole life.
Climbing into a prestigious marriage is a shortcut for them to get ahead in the Imperial Guard.
Therefore, these young guardsmen naturally seized every opportunity and risked their lives in order to be promoted and make a fortune.
Especially the officer leading the team. Under the tension, he kept looking back at the palace, clenching the hilt of the sword, and then slowly loosening it bit by bit.
He had already made a plan. After a while, he would lead his team to rush in. If Duke De Rossi didn't resist, he would be the first to rush forward, push him down personally, then grab his arm and choke his neck.
Catch him like a chicken.
No matter what, you must show your mighty image in front of the king.
If De Rossi and his son dare to resist, let them know what it means to be a master, master, master!
When the time comes, they will definitely knock down De Rossi and his son cleanly, lift them up from the ground, and drive them to the king to confess their sins.
Finally, in front of the king, he seriously repented and blamed himself, and made a profound self-examination: "I am a humble minister who came too late to save me. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
Your attitude must be sincere, and it must come from the bottom of your heart. If you squeeze a few tears, that would be the best thing.
When the time comes, His Majesty the King will definitely make Long Yan happy several times when he sees that he is so brave and loyal, so humble and polite.
Promotions and fortunes, money and beautiful women are coming all the time. Maybe you can even marry a princess, and you won’t have to struggle anymore in this life...
No, no, no~!
You can't marry a princess. Princesses are all spoiled and spoiled. They all have bad tempers and are difficult to serve. They have made great achievements and are about to enjoy life. There is no need to make themselves uncomfortable.
However, it would not be bad if he could find a princess as his lover like Lord Luo.
But... this conflicts with my noble moral character...
Alas, this life is really confusing~!
The officer had his own fantasy for the moment and fell into the distress of happiness.
He looked at the four De Rossi attendants opposite him. Seeing the foolish and foolish look of the four old guys, he couldn't help but gloat.
He smiled and thought to himself: These idiots don't know that they will be arrested soon.
The four attendants on the opposite side saw the officer laughing at them and smiled in return.
The officer was secretly happy: Are you still laughing? You are going to be in bad luck soon, idiot.
The Guards soldiers also knew their mission, and when they saw the attendants following De Rossi, they actually smiled at them. At the same time, there was a look of malice on their faces.
It's like seeing a few fat pigs that are about to be slaughtered and still thanking the owner for the feed.
These four fools, wait a moment. After hearing the order, they will be the first to be taken down~!
The two parties were comparing each other and giggling across the narrow corridor.
What the guards didn't know was that the four old attendants across from them were thinking the same thing as them. They were all looking at a group of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Gradually, the Imperial Guards discovered something unusual. These old guys looked at them very strangely.
His eyes seemed to want to strip them naked, exposing their muscular bodies in low clothes, which was vulgar and despicable.
The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard seemed to have dozens of bugs suddenly burrowed into their clothes. They twisted their bodies uneasily, feeling uncomfortable being seen by these old guys.
"What a good body." An old attendant of De Rossi suddenly couldn't help but say it.
The companions beside him nodded at the same time, looking at the Imperial Guards with strange eyes.
Another whispered: "What a shame."
Several people nodded again.
The Guards soldier couldn't help but cursed: "Old glass, where are you looking? If you look at me again, I will kill you~!"
The four attendants opposite looked at each other in surprise, then burst out laughing. One of them shook his head and murmured: "Despicable human beings."
The Imperial Guards couldn't help but clenched their fists, secretly determined to break the bones of these four old glasses later.
The Imperial Guards suddenly felt that the temperature around them had dropped a lot, as if it was a bit cold, and a breath of ice-like coldness surrounded them.
They couldn't help but shudder, and the hair on their arms shrank.
Even the surrounding light suddenly became much darker.
Opposite him, De Rossi's attendant let out a sinister sneer.
The Guards soldiers couldn't help but turn around and look out the window, thinking to themselves: It's just raining, it won't drop the temperature so much, right?
At this time, a figure dressed in white appeared at one end of the corridor, it was the Archbishop of the Diocese of the Kingdom of Leiria.
Accompanied by subordinates wearing dark robes wearing books on both sides, he walked over slowly.
The hidden aura around him disappeared instantly, and the heat swept over him again.
The archbishop suddenly raised his head, looked at the crowds on both sides of the corridor in confusion and surprise, and thought to himself: Why did it seem like there was an aura of the undead just now?
The archbishop immediately shook his head and thought to himself: This is impossible.
This is deep inside the palace of the Kingdom of Leiria. How could there be undead creatures? He must have worked too hard on Xiao Wu's bed last night.
"I'm getting older, so maybe I really need to take some tiger penis tonic." The archbishop thought to himself as he walked straight through the opposing crowd.
When he walked into the door, a slight chuckle suddenly came from behind him.
The archbishop glanced back and saw that it seemed to be coming from the four old guys on the wall who were acting like ghosts.
The archbishop didn't care and asked his two subordinates to stay, then opened the door and walked in.
The door opened quickly and closed quickly.
Glancing through the crack in the door, everyone saw De Rossi and his son standing opposite the king and the crown prince, with happy expressions on both sides' faces.
The Imperial Guards were confused and thought to themselves: Looking at the situation, it seems that it is different from what they expected.
At this time, the chill that penetrated the skin and penetrated into the bone marrow returned.
The cold became more and more severe. Within a minute or two, the guards' hands and feet began to feel numb from the cold. They were so cold that they couldn't help but rub their arms.
Only then did they realize that the breath they exhaled turned into a mist.
The Guards soldiers said in surprise: "What the hell kind of weather is this?"
"Why did it suddenly come to winter?"
"It's so evil, hey."
The two pastors at the door also stamped their feet coldly, frowning, and suddenly raised their noses and smelled.
A pastor asked in confusion: "Where is the smell coming from? Why do I feel so frightened?"
The Imperial Guards also smelled a sudden rancid smell in the air.
Another priest followed the smell and took two steps. He looked up and saw four of De Rossi's attendants.
They were looking at the two priests with sneers.
The priest who was close to them looked at them in confusion. After a few seconds, his face suddenly changed. He pointed at the four old attendants with trembling arms, his expression was as frightened as if he had seen a ghost, and he opened his mouth and made a "gurgling" sound.
It's like someone's throat is stuck.
His companion came up to him, grabbed him, and said nervously: "What's wrong with you?"
The priest seemed to want to tell his companion something, and he grabbed his arm tightly. With his other hand, he pointed at the four old attendants vigorously. He kept making "cough, cough, click, click" sounds in his throat.
The guards were also frightened by the sudden incident and looked at the priest at a loss.
The priest's companion followed the direction of his finger and looked at De Rossi's old attendant. His heart jumped suddenly. Combined with the smell he smelled, an idea flashed in his mind and he jumped in fright. He was hurriedly preparing to shout to the undead.
But he found that his throat was also blocked by something, and he could only make the same coughing sound as his companions.
The pastor couldn't help but pinch his throat and rub it hard, trying hard to make a sound. After trying for a few seconds, he looked up and saw the old attendant looking at them with a smile.
The pastor suddenly turned around regardless of the situation and ran quickly towards the door.
On the other hand, the priest also got up and chased after him.
The Guards felt something was abnormal. The officer finally couldn't help but prepared to ask questions and stopped the two of them.
When he opened his mouth, he found that his throat seemed to be frozen, and no matter how hard he opened his mouth to make a sound, he could not speak.
The soldiers around him also discovered his abnormality at this time, and soon everyone showed the same symptoms as the priest, unable to speak.
They had horrified expressions on their faces and asked each other with their eyes what had happened.
At this time, the old attendant opposite suddenly laughed and said leisurely: "Can't you speak anymore?"
The Imperial Guards nodded quickly as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"What's the point of being speechless?" the old attendant said slowly, "later you will still be burning from the inside out, just like him."
The old attendant pointed at the priest who was running for his life. The guards followed his finger and looked over, only to see a mouthful of fire suddenly spit out from the mouth of the running priest.
At this time, the Guards officer was still thinking secretly: Is this a trick?
He had seen jugglers from Parthia who could spit fire from their mouths.
But the two priests immediately fell to the ground, and the expressions of fear on their faces were not fake.
After the two fell to the ground, they hurriedly tore open their robes, revealing their white bellies under the clothes.
The Imperial Guards watched helplessly as a light green light emerged from beneath their bellies, and at the same time, they kept spraying smoke with sparks out of their mouths.
The situation in front of them was terrifying and strange, and the guards were so frightened that they stood as dumb as a tree.
The green light under the priest's belly became brighter and brighter, as if something was about to come out from under their belly.
The priests seemed to have suffered tremendous pain, their faces were distorted, their hands kept digging into their stomachs, and their skin was bloody.
But no sound came out of their open mouths, they could only struggle silently.
In a few seconds, green light penetrated the priest's belly, and a miserable green flame shot out from their belly.
In the blink of an eye, the pastor's entire chest and abdomen were on fire.
The flames spread quickly and soon covered their entire bodies, with the two humanoid flames rolling back and forth on the ground.
Although they could not hear their painful screams, the Imperial Guard seemed to hear their wails from their souls.
The Guards officer suddenly felt a burning pain in his throat, as if a red-hot iron bar had been inserted into his mouth.
But he couldn't scream.
The officer spit out fire from his mouth, and the burning pain went down his windpipe, and soon his stomach felt like it was on fire.
The pain from the distance made it difficult for the officer to stand. He fell to the ground with a thud, struggling to touch his stomach with his hands.
But the stainless steel armor tightly protected his upper body.
The soldiers behind the officer fell to the ground one after another, leaving only four old men standing in front of them.
No matter how the officer tried, he could not unlock his armor.
Suddenly, a white staff appeared out of thin air in the hands of the old man. They tore off their ugly clothes, revealing the smooth black robe underneath.
The temperament of the four old men changed instantly. They stood upright in front of them with their staffs in hand, and they changed from weak attendants to proud mage.
A black-robed mage stepped forward, as if to make them understand, with a kind smile on his face.
Explained: "The flames will burn away your flesh and blood, burn your bones, and you will only be left with a ball of black ashes.
It’s really the best choice for destroying corpses and eliminating traces.”
A creature that is terrifying to all mankind suddenly appeared in the mind of the Guards officer, the dark mage.
The four people brought by Derosi are dark mage, he betrayed mankind~!
"Your Majesty is in danger," the Guards officer understood immediately. He endured the severe pain that was burning his bones and struggled to crawl towards the door.
Once, twice...
Before he could move for the third time, green flames burst out of his armor, and he turned into a burning man.
Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, and the rumbling sound shook the earth.
The rain is getting heavier.
The entire corridor was burning, there was no scream, and the guards outside had no idea what was happening in the palace.
Green flames illuminated the withered faces of the necromancers. They clenched their staffs, showing strong confidence.
"The first step for the Eternal to rule the world will start from here." The leader of the Dark Mage chanted enthusiastically, raised his staff and pointed it at the door and waved it lightly... Archbishop Stanislaus walked away with doubts.
Entered the room.
He still didn't know why the king wanted to invite him here urgently.
Archbishop Stanislaus did not like to go out on such a bad rainy day.
But he heard from the urgent tone of the guards that the matter was of great importance, so he hurried over with two of his attendants.
When King Imholt saw the Archbishop, he stood up from his seat, stepped forward and grabbed Archbishop Stanislaus's arm intimately, and said: "You are finally here, come, our lovely little De Rossi, please
You come to be a witness."
At the same time, he briefly explained the matter to Archbishop Stanislaus.
Archbishop Stanislaus couldn't help but look happy, and said to himself: De Rossi, you ****, I finally got the money I lent you back.
Of course, Stanislaus did not lend De Rossi money personally, but the Archbishop's sweethearts were tempted by usury and asked the Archbishop for a large sum of money to lend out.
The archbishop only found out about it after the newspaper reported it. He was very angry about it and beat the big-breasted and brainless woman.
When the Crown Prince advocated cleaning up De Rossi and his son and selling off their property to pay off their debts, Archbishop Stanislaus put in a lot of effort behind the scenes in order to get his own money back.
When Archbishop Stanislaus heard that De Rossi's box contained enough money to pay off all his debts, Archbishop Stanislaus couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and his eyes changed when he looked at De Rossi.
Just now he was regarded as an enemy, but now he is regarded as a relative.
"Okay, okay, okay." Archbishop Stanislaus couldn't help stroking his hands and saying hello three times. He patted Mr. De Rossi on the shoulder with approval and said, "He is indeed a pillar of talent. The future of the kingdom depends on it."
You guys."
Mr. De Rossi looked at the desperate Archbishop Stanislaus, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, and said: "To show justice, how about the Archbishop himself opening it."
Archbishop Stanislaus did not refuse at all, stepped forward and opened the lid of the box.
, please collect it.
