Asna looked at Lin Zheng's slightly absent-minded look, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness in her eyes. However, after sighing, the corners of Asna's mouth curled up slightly, "I'm a little rude!"
Na stood up under the curious eyes of everyone, pulled Lin Zheng and said with a smile: "I'll borrow it from your majesty, it will be quick!" After that, she pulled Lin Zheng and walked aside.
Lin Zheng was pulled to stagger, and shouted as he walked: "Hey... I'm telling you! Is there anything you can't say in front of them?"
"Of course not! Well... at least it's not possible now!" Asna said with a smile on her face, and then she stopped, then waved to the people behind Lin Zheng, turned around, and then
Looking at Lin Zheng, he said: "It's about Aska!"
"I guess so!" Lin Zheng showed a helpless expression, "Then what? What about her?"
"Yes, where should we start?" Asna showed a thoughtful expression as she said this, making Lin Zheng quite speechless. Please, can you tell yourself before you talk to someone?
Want to think clearly about what you want to say? Just when you were about to complain, Asna said with a smile on her face: "Forget it, let's start from when Aska was born!"
When Lin Zheng staggered, Asna started telling Lin Zheng a story seriously.
The Horta family is an ancient aristocracy of the Cangmu Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Horta family is not prosperous. It has been passed down alone for many generations. When it was passed down to Astaru's father, he was only one person. However, as a member of the Cangmu Dynasty,
The ancient nobleman was still very prestigious when Astalu's father was alive. Duke Horta's reputation was very resounding even in the entire demon world.
Hearing this, Lin Zheng was surprised, "Her father is a duke, so the title she inherited should also be the duke's title, right? How come she became a marquis?!"
Asna was stunned when she heard this, stared at Lin Zheng in surprise and said: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
"What should I know?" Lin Zheng asked with a confused look on his face.
Seeing this, Asna laughed and said, "I don't know how you became the viscount until now. You don't even know the rules among the nobility!" Then Asna explained the reason to Lin Zheng.
.
Under normal circumstances, if a noble dies, the heir can directly inherit their title. However, there are general circumstances, and there are also special circumstances. For example, the cause of death announced by Duke Horta was that he was killed by a bandit!
Demons are a large group that advocates force, and nobles even more so. This kind of death is considered a shame for the nobles, so according to customary law, the title of Duke Horta will be reduced by one level, and all territories will be confiscated. Therefore, Yas
Talu has become a marquis without any territory!
However, the real cause of Duke Horta's death was that he was assassinated, and the murderer was the Cangmu Demon Emperor who was about to die!
The inducement also starts with the migration of demons to the Demon God Realm. As one of the four great dukes of the Cangmu Dynasty, Duke Horta naturally gained a large territory. Of course, the Duke of Horta during this period was Astalu.
His great-grandfather, during the time of Astalu's grandfather, Duke Horta accidentally obtained a treasure when he was developing his territory. He named this treasure the Key of Time and Space, and this Key of Time and Space became
The source of the disaster for Duke Horta's family!
The treasure of the Key of Time and Space is said to be able to open the passage of time and travel freely in the long river of history. Of course, to activate the ability of the Key of Time and Space, it naturally requires huge divine power. The longer the distance of time and space traveled, the more divine power is consumed.
If you want to travel through thousands of years, the consumption of such divine power is quite huge, and determining the time and space coordinates is a very troublesome thing. If you don't do it well, you may get lost in unknown time and space.
Duke Horta's family has passed down the family for several generations. Naturally, they will not take risks casually, nor can they hand over this treasure to others for experimentation. Therefore, the key to time and space has other uses in the hands of Duke Horta. Mastering the key to time and space
The Duke of Horta can use the power of the Time and Space Key to fight, accelerate, pause, and even partially reverse time. You can do it all with the power of the Time and Space Key!
Such a powerful treasure was already very coveted, but an accident that happened later made the Key of Time and Space even more famous. This accident originated from Astalu's grandfather, who had a sudden idea one day.
, used the power of the Key of Time and Space to flow back his own years. In the end, he succeeded, but also failed. He succeeded because he achieved his purpose of using the Key of Time and Space. When using it, he became younger and younger, and in the blink of an eye he became younger.
He became a young man, but tragedy happened later. The effect of this countercurrent was too difficult to control. Old Duke Horta could not stop the countercurrent of time, and eventually he reversed himself to an embryonic state and died violently!
This... this way of death is too stupid, right?! He actually killed himself?! Looking at Lin Zheng's speechless expression, Asna was also a little bit dumbfounded, "It's a bit stupid, but at least he
It proves something, doesn’t it?”
"I'm afraid what he proved is the trouble, right?" Lin Zheng shook his head helplessly. The murderer was a stingy devil who was about to die. Isn't this an obvious thing?!
Asna nodded, "Yes, the old Duke died because of the experiment. The cause of death naturally had to be reported to the royal family. It was at that time that the Demon Emperor, who had been jealous of the Key to Time and Space for a long time, began to fight against this treasure.
Thoughts!"
As a Demon King, although he is a bit stingy, he still wants to save face. Naturally, he cannot do such a thing as robbery! Therefore, considering that the Horta Duke family is always a single family, Cangmu Demon King came up with it.
An idea, marriage! Whether it is marrying into the Horta family or marrying someone from the Horta family, once they marry, the key to time and space will naturally become the property of his royal family! But unfortunately, in his
When he first came up with this idea, Duke Horta had already fallen in love with Astalu's mother, and they got married soon!
The Demon Emperor would definitely not be able to let his daughter become Duke Horta's second wife, so the idea came to the Duke's children. He carefully directed a good show and showed his affection for Hall.
The Ta family relied heavily on her, and then she announced the wedding ceremony at a palace banquet.
But Duke Horta is not a fool. He naturally figured out the Demon Emperor's thoughts. Originally, if the descendants of the Demon Emperor were outstanding enough, it would not be a problem for his children to marry the royal family. However, as the years passed, the Demon Emperor's grandson
All the seniors have grown up. What is surprising is that there is not even a girl, but they are all bastards!
Duke Horta still hated these guys, so after Astalu was born, he didn't want Astaru to marry those bastards at all, so he disguised Astalu's true gender since he was a child.
Get up. However, what Horta did not expect was that as a demon emperor, the Cangmu Demon Emperor would be so unlimited!
Because Astaru claimed to be a boy, the royal family could not marry the Horta family. The Demon Emperor lost his patience and finally exposed his ugly face. When Duke Horta was on a trip, he personally took action
Assassinate his own ministers! However, Astalu was not with his parents at the time. The Demon Emperor, who had not been able to eradicate the roots, was worried that he would be exposed, so he made Duke Horta's death look like he was killed by a bandit.
Deprive the Horta family of their power. After all, this is an old Duke, and the Duke died in his own territory. Once the territory's power is launched to investigate, some clues will always be found!
"It's strange. A demon emperor secretly went to do these things, and completely destroyed the scene. How did you find out that it was him? Besides, didn't you say that the old guy was almost finished?!"
"No matter how perfect he is, as long as he has done it, there will definitely be flaws!" Asna sneered, "You have to know that as a duke, my uncle's own strength is not weak.
At that time, he must be accompanied by the most powerful group of guards. They are the elites under a duke. Do you think they can kill everyone? And no matter which force they belong to, after fighting with their uncle and the others, the elites must be
It will be damaged, but I asked Mapa to check the entire Cangmu Dynasty, and except for the royal family that cannot be investigated, none of the elites of other families have suffered large-scale losses!"
Lin Zheng nodded. As for whether it was an idiotic question like someone from other dynasties, he would naturally not ask. Unless the royal family did it deliberately, how could such a big event as the Duke under his command be killed, end so hastily?
?!The Demon King thought he had done everything perfectly, but little did he know that his suspicions had already been exposed just by his attitude in dealing with the murder of the Duke!
"Then what? You told me before that you didn't know who the murderer was!"
Hearing this, Asna laughed and said, "I wasn't very familiar with you before! Now, you are more or less one of our own!"
"Aska doesn't regard me as one of his own!" Lin Zheng said in a dumbfounded voice, "Besides, our cooperation is about black tea. Why are you talking to me about this? Although I sympathize with Aska, but
This is none of my business, right?!"
"Yeah!" Asna nodded and smiled, "It's really none of your business, but I think I should let you know. At least, I can't let you misunderstand Aska!"
Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Was my expression so obvious just now?"
"Fortunately, I didn't let Aska see it! If she saw it, I would definitely feel uncomfortable!" Asna's expression became playful as she said that, and she winked at Lin Zheng and said:
"How is it? Do you feel sorry for Aska now?"
"Why do I feel sorry for her?!" Lin Zheng said angrily, "I don't have time to take care of the people around me, so how can I have the time to feel sorry for others!?"
"Lizzie Gremory, right?!" Asna said with a sly look, "I thought about it last night and finally remembered where I had seen her. You, the Home Secretary, are not simple.
!”
"Of course my people are not simple!" Lin Zheng said quite proudly.
"But the trouble she has is not small!" Asna said, paying attention to Lin Zheng's expression, "It's bigger than Aska's trouble. If one bad word comes, all of you will die.
A sort of!"
Lin Zheng smiled when he heard this, "There is definitely someone who can kill us all, but at least in the Demon God Realm, such a guy doesn't exist!"
"Are you so sure?" Asna stared at Lin Zheng playfully, "What if the other party is His Majesty the God Emperor?"
"God Emperor!" Lin Zheng praised in a serious tone, "If it's that guy, he's really in a little trouble!"
Asna was stunned when she heard this. God Emperor, in this guy's mouth, there was just a little trouble? When she came to her senses, Asna rolled her eyes at Lin Zheng and said, "Bragging!"
Lin Zheng did not explain, but smiled and said: "I have a mouth, so I can say whatever I want!"
"I hope you really have the strength to fight against the God-Emperor!" Asna shook her head and said, "The God-Emperor has a son named Marfa, and his fiancée is Lizzie Gremory. Of course, Lizzie has already
After getting married, it is naturally impossible to become the daughter-in-law of the God Emperor, but this does not mean that the matter is over, Lizzie's husband should be dead, right?"
"How do you know? I remember she didn't mention it, right?"
"I haven't mentioned it yet, but I know that back in the Divine Emperor City, the couple fought desperately to escape from the siege of Marfa. Although they managed to escape, her husband was hit by an arrow from Marfa. That arrow was named
God's Punishment was made by the God Emperor himself. It is not only powerful, but also comes with a terrible curse. Once it is hit, no one can survive!"
"What a pity!" Lin Zheng shook his head regretfully. If Gremory's husband could hold on until he came over, it would be nothing more than a curse.
"How's it going? Are you a little scared?" Asna smiled faintly, "Liz probably didn't expect that even people from the Divine Imperial City would come to this dance. Once her traces are exposed, what will happen to you?"
It will be a disaster for Istria! So, you'd better send Lizzie back to Istria now. Look at the way she is sitting there. Didn't you notice that she was uneasy?
"
Lin Zheng looked back at everyone, and just as he was about to meet Dantalin who was looking secretly at her, seeing how she quickly turned her face away, Lin Zheng burst out laughing, and then smiled at Asna and said, "So
Why do you want to send her back?"
"Are you really not understanding or are you just pretending?!" Asna's eyes widened, "If she stays here, she is very likely to be exposed. Don't you still know the consequences of being exposed?"
"That's not a big deal. We are already at odds with Henumar. Even if there is one more, it will be the same. As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, don't be afraid of being bitten!"
Asna couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "Where did you hear this common saying?! Why haven't I heard of it? Besides, this is no longer a small bug like a louse, but a blood-sucking demon. One bite
If you don’t let go, people will die!”
"It's just a matter of time!" Lin Zheng said calmly, "Anyone who wants to suck blood will be found sooner or later no matter how much he hides. Even in Istria, Li Zi is always uneasy, so,
At this time, it is absolutely impossible for me to send her back. Once I send her back, I will never see her again!" With Gremory's character, she is definitely not willing to drag Istria down. Now
Sensing the enemy's figure lingering around her, her choice couldn't be simpler. In fact, if Lin Zheng hadn't asked Dantalin and Andos to keep an eye on her, Gremory might have disappeared last night!
Asna was stunned. With her mind, she quickly understood what Lin Zheng meant. When she came to her senses, she sighed helplessly, "Being your subordinate is really a happy thing.
But do you think it’s worth dragging everyone else down just for one subordinate?”
"There is no such thing as worth it. They all support my choice without principle!" Lin Zheng said with a hearty smile, "Moreover, when it comes to Li Zi's matter, I know that other people will definitely not do it either."
She will compromise. Lizzie is an important friend to all of us. Her enemy is the enemy of all of us! The God Emperor is just a self-proclaimed title. If he really appears on the battlefield..."
"If so, what next?"
Looking at Asna's curious and expectant expression, Lin Zheng smiled hoarsely, "You will know when something like that happens, and if I say anything to you now, you will just think that I am bragging!"
"Say it! I swear, I believe you!" After saying that, Asna solemnly raised three fingers, as if she really wanted to swear, and her rather playful look made Lin Zheng feel very happy.
"Forget it, think about it yourself!" After saying that, Lin Zheng turned around and left. Seeing this, Asna immediately chased after him and kept asking. She was really curious, if he said
Lin Zheng really has the ability to fight against the devil. In that case, things will become more interesting!
Seeing Asna perseveringly following Lin Zheng and asking questions, Eve and the others couldn't help but look curious. When they got closer, Asna suddenly thought that they might be able to get some information from Eve's mouth. After all,
Asna is Lin Zheng's wife! As a husband, he would definitely brag about his abilities in front of his wife, so she immediately abandoned Lin Zheng, rushed to Eve and asked: "Eve, your family
Are men powerful?"
"Um..." Eve's face became hot when she was asked, and it was obvious that she was thinking wrongly, "It's okay! It'll take a few hours, why do you suddenly want to ask this, Mrs. Asna?"
