Lion IX, a king with a very weak sense of existence.
Except for the annual kingdom ceremony, people in Hessettins would hardly realize that they actually have such a king.
Everyone remembers only the Archduke of Graz.
Even during last year's three-day kingdom celebration, His Majesty the King only appeared on the first day. He fell ill for the next two days, and the Grand Duke of Graz presided over it on his behalf.
Everyone thought that Ryan IX would not live long.
Everyone thought that the Archbishop of Graz would become king.
Little Graz thought so too.
However, the Archduke of Graz died at this time.
And Lion IX is still alive.
Inexplicably, little Graz felt a little nervous.
He didn't know where such tension came from.
But it just showed up.
Subconsciously, little Gratz looked at his advisor.
Silik frowned slightly.
The old consultant also felt something was wrong, but he softly comforted little Graz.
"It's okay, I'm here."
The consultant's comfort relaxed little Graz's nervous mood.
"Send the counselor in."
said the Grand Duke's second son.
After a while, a middle-aged man walked in.
It is not the hooded robe that consultants are used to, but a four-piece set of shirt, vest, trousers and top.
"Silic?"
"It's good that you're here!"
After the middle-aged man came in, he saw the old consultant at a glance and was relieved. Then, in the doubtful eyes of Silik and Little Graz, the consultant continued: "Andinan just assassinated Big Graz!
"
"What?!"
Little Gratz exclaimed.
Silik's whole body was also shocked.
"This illegitimate son's resentment is greater than imagined!"
"After His Majesty learned the news, he immediately asked me to protect Mr. Little Graz. But facing the descendant of the 'Robert family', I have no chance of winning. Fortunately, Silik, you are also here - if the two of us, even if we win,
No, it is still possible to escape with His Excellency Little Gratz."
"Now, let's leave for the castle immediately!"
“It’s safer there!”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
"Ari, are you telling the truth?"
Silik took a step forward and asked.
"certainly!"
"This has happened and everyone knows it!"
"The news will come soon!"
The middle-aged man named Ai Rui said seriously.
Silik looked at Ari.
Silik didn't have much contact with the king's advisor in front of him. In fact, Silik didn't have much contact with the other advisors in Hesetins.
Even Derwent, the consultant of Greater Graz, had to contact him because he was worried about the safety of Little Graz.
After all, Silik first took refuge in Little Graz, not only because of the arrangement of the Archduke, but also for the purpose of retirement.
Silik hopes to spend his remaining years peacefully.
And what better choice than an archduke's son?
Naturally, this grand duke's son is a second son who has neither inheritance rights nor any ambition.
Maybe he has a bad temper.
But it's still within the tolerance range.
Therefore, Silik has always been able to muddle along.
But this does not mean that Silik is really old and confused.
Especially after being kicked by Goethe, the old consultant was instantly awakened from his daily retirement state.
He just seems to be retired.
It's not really retirement.
Therefore, Silik became vigilant the moment he felt something was wrong.
And with the other party's words, the vigilance not only did not disappear, but intensified.
As we all know, His Majesty the King is careless.
In addition to the two necessary advisers, there are six personal attendants and a castle guard, but this guard was originally selected by the Archduke of Graz.
It can be said that in the entire Hesetins, His Majesty the King was definitely the last person to realize anything.
Even if you want to read the Hessettins Daily Mail, you have to wait until the afternoon for it to be delivered.
Under such a premise, how could it be possible to know about Graz's death before they did?
Moreover, can someone be sent here so quickly?
This is not right!
"How is your Majesty's laboratory going?"
Silik suddenly asked.
"Everyone is working hard there."
"The results should be available soon."
"Now, let's leave quickly, otherwise..."
Buzz!
Before Ai Rui finished speaking, his whole body was enveloped by an invisible force field. The moment this force field appeared, it was like being squeezed from within. The huge force suddenly suffocated Ai Rui.
but,
This is not a fatal injury!
The staff in Silik's hand is it!
The staff is as tall as a person and made of oak. The front end is as thick as a fist and the tail end is small and sharp, like the tip of a spear.
Silik swung his staff and pierced Ari's throat directly.
Until his death, the king's advisor had his eyes widened.
He didn't understand how he was discovered.
"You came too fast!"
"besides……"
"The last time you mentioned the laboratory of your Majesty, the heat in your eyes was like substance, but at that moment, it was extremely calm - such a look should not appear on you unless everything has settled.
!”
Silik explained, raised his hand, and added another note.
This time it pierced Ari's chest.
After it was confirmed that the king's advisor was completely dead, the old man in front of him did not look relaxed.
On the contrary, he looked solemn.
And little Graz was completely frightened.
The second son of the Grand Duke had never seen an advisor like this before.
"Silic?"
The Grand Duke's second son asked tentatively.
"It's okay, I'm here..."
The old consultant showed a kind smile, hoping to comfort little Graz, but at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of the shadow on one side, and the cold light in his hand pierced him.
quick!
And, weird!
Silik immediately noticed something was wrong, picked up the staff in his hand and stabbed the attacker.
The old consultant planned to force the other party to retreat.
After all, his staff is long enough.
However, contrary to the old advisor's expectation, the attacker's arms and body were wrapped around his staff like a snake, and the dagger in his hand stabbed his throat without stopping.
A force field shield capable of resisting bullets appeared on the old consultant's body.
But facing that dagger, it was like paper.
Snap!
There was a crisp sound and it broke into pieces.
The dagger paused for a moment before continuing to move forward.
But this meal was enough.
quack!
While the crows were cawing, the crows rushed toward the attackers like dark clouds.
The old consultant got a chance to breathe, staggered back, and looked at the attacker who was blocked by the crow in surprise.
The attacker, on the other hand, missed a single hit and ran away.
Apart from the carcasses of a few crows, no traces were left.
The old consultant didn't pursue it.
He knows very well what his most important responsibility is.
Protect Little Graz!
The old consultant stood in front of Little Gratz with a staff in hand, blocking Little Gratz tightly behind him - the sudden attacker frightened the old consultant a little.
Not only the stealth skills, but also the attacks that ignore his force field shield.
It all reminded him of a country that should have perished.
Snake!
During the period of King Ryan VIII, this king who was absolutely brilliant and powerful destroyed the Snake Kingdom in one fell swoop, and all members of the Snake Kingdom royal family were killed.
But now, there is only one person who can master this technique: the Ryan royal family.
In other words: loyal to Ryan IX...
"King Assassin!"
"Your Majesty, you have really deceived everyone!"
The old consultant smiled bitterly in his heart.
No one thought that His Majesty the King would secretly cultivate such a King Assassin. If the laboratory of His Majesty 'Modeus' had not appeared, the old advisor believed that His Majesty the King would definitely let this King Assassin
Continue to hide.
But as the laboratory under the crown of 'Modeus' appeared, there was also an 'potion of immortality' in it.
His Majesty the King must have regained his health after taking the 'Elixir of Immortality'.
Will a healthy King delegate power?
Therefore, the Archduke of Graz must die.
Therefore, the sons of the Grand Duke of Graz must die.
Moreover, it is not possible to have anything to do with His Majesty.
The old consultant who wanted to understand everything really wanted to escape from Hessettins right away.
He is an old man who wants to retire and does not want to be involved in this kind of struggle anymore.
It's a pity...
Too late!
He has long been branded with the mark of the Archduke of Graz and cannot escape at all.
Now that the king's assassin has taken action.
That Majesty must have laid a dragnet!
The army must have surrounded Hessettins.
Especially around Little Graz's mansion, it was like an iron barrel, and even flies couldn't fly out.
Although he was able to escape here temporarily with Little Graz, but what happens after that?
Thinking of this, the old consultant sighed.
However, it is not without hope.
The old consultant looked at the crow that had landed nearby.
Marple Poirot!
Or the heir of the ‘Robert family’!
This is the last hope!
But Goethe did not keep the old consultant waiting.
A few minutes later, Goethe and Andinan appeared at the residence in Little Graz.
"Sir Poirot, thank you for your assistance."
Instead of addressing Mr. Marple, Lao Gu expressed his gratitude in accordance with the older tradition.
"I'm just saving myself!"
"I need little Graz to speak out!"
"But now, we need to leave!"
"My crow, I saw more soldiers coming here!"
After Goethe finished speaking very quickly, he was about to take everyone away.
But the old consultant waved his hand.
"I have a more convenient 'escape passage' here, please stand by my side!"
The old consultant said, when everyone gathered over, the old consultant waved his hand suddenly.
The next moment, everyone disappeared.
When he appeared again, he had arrived in a secret room full of gold, silver and jewelry.
The gold coins are piled up like a mountain. At a glance, it is difficult to count them at first glance.
Gemstones of various colors are placed in piles like products on supermarket shelves.
"This, this is the family treasure trove?!"
Little Gratz asked blankly.
He had been here once with his father when he was very young.
Andy Nan on the side was even more shocked.
He knew how wealthy the Grand Duke of Graz was, but the wealth before him still exceeded his imagination.
"Yes, this is the teleportation location that the Grand Duke asked me to arrange just in case - you can use it when there are people with the blood of the Lane family around!"
The old consultant explained, but looked at Goethe.
Because, he found that Goethe was a little strange after entering the treasure house.
No shock.
There is no greed.
Instead, he ignored the treasures and stared straight at a corner of the treasure house.
There were two pieces of full-body armor and two long rusty swords.
yes……
Curious?
The old consultant thought and immediately introduced to Goethe——
"Those were the armors and weapons worn by the ancestors of the Ryan royal family and the Snake royal family when they overthrew the 'Dark Dynasty'. According to rumors, the two killed several key figures of the 'Dark Dynasty' before the 'Seven Heroes'
'Winning the final victory!"
