Eight hundred and ninety-seventh chapter Charles' death
Charles felt a little uneasy, probably because Sophie was not with him. Sophie had been his guard since he was very young, and he was inseparable. The Knights of Light were not far from him.
Without Sophie, it seemed that even the familiar temple had become much emptier.
Charles always had the illusion that there were eyes watching him secretly in the shadows behind him.
He laughed at himself, this is the temple, a place with the most abundant light energy. How can there be shadows? The temple, which symbolizes light, has rich light energy floating everywhere. They emit soft white light and illuminate every corner of the temple.
Be as bright as day.
Bright forever.
Maybe he was not used to Sophie not being around, Charles laughed to himself.
Thinking of the current situation, Charles frowned. In the past, when he dealt with those famous families, he felt that they were subservient to the temple. But this time, his concept was completely subverted, and he finally understood why there were so many elders.
Want to suppress famous families.
Normally, a famous family is like a beast with its claws put away. It looks docile. But a beast is a beast. No matter how well it disguises itself, once the critical moment comes, its ferocity will be revealed.
Qiujia, Charles murmured, looking thoughtful.
In Charles' opinion, the conflict between the Qiu family and the Masefield family was the action of the Qiu family. What signal did they want to send to the outside world in this way?
The conflict between Macefield and Elizabeth is a conflict between two famous families of the same level. The Qiu family has no reason to intervene personally, even if Elizabeth is their vassal. Charles is very aware of the habits of these top famous families. If he is better than Elizabeth,
If a higher-level famous family deals with Elizabeth, the Qiu family will definitely take action. But if a family of the same level and weaker than Elizabeth defeats Elizabeth, the Qiu family will definitely not take action.
Because the Qiu family will feel embarrassed.
If you can't defeat your own vassal and even the opponents of the same level, what qualifications do you have to be a vassal of the Qiu family?
There are rumors that the Mesfield family is provocative. Charles sneered at this statement. This statement is completely untenable. The strength of the Mesfield family is so great that it cannot pose any threat to the Qiu family. Qiu Beifeng can use it to bring the personal guards.
To regain face?
The Qiu family wanted to establish their authority, not to other families, but to the temple.
Charles is disgusted with the Qiu family's behavior. If the Qiu family has been wronged, he will feel much better if the Qiu family's power is demonstrated in this way. For such a top-notch family, the temple is willing to cooperate with it. But the Qiu family
When I arrived at the Holy Continent, I didn’t come to the Guangming Hall to visit the Great Elder, nor did I come to visit him. I didn’t say hello to the temple, but I came here to scare the monkeys.
Charles was angry. The Qiu family did not take the temple seriously at all. And now it was Charles who was in charge of this matter, and the Qiu family also had no intention of giving him any face.
He sent Sophie there just to keep an eye on the Qiu family. If the Qiu family really dared to disobey the temple's orders, he would kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
There are so many famous families, and no one will obey orders unless they kill one or two chickens.
Charles knew that this was a test given to him by the great elder. If he could dominate and control the current situation, his position would be untouchable. If he could not, then he would be in danger.
Sensing danger, Charles knew he had to fight.
No other family can compete with the Knights of Light led by Sophie.
A guard climbed up the steps and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Great Elder please come over."
Charles recognized the guard and nodded: "I'll be there right away."
As Charles walked around the main hall, the two Knights of Light guarding the door followed him. Sophie took the Knights of Light away, but left ten Knights of Light behind to protect Charles. Although Charles felt it was completely unnecessary, he was still very moved.
.
The guard led the way, and Charles followed behind, casually asking: "Do you know what it is?"
"It seems to be a matter of the Qiu family." The guard lowered his eyebrows and said softly.
Charles thought thoughtfully, does the First Elder also have thoughts about the Qiu family? With such a strong character, the First Elder would definitely not be able to tolerate the Qiu family. If it were the First Elder, how would he deal with the Qiu family? The First Elder is thoughtful and far-sighted, and maybe he has a more far-reaching plan.
idea.
Charles's mind was spinning very fast. When facing the Great Elder, anyone would be under pressure, and so was he. The only exception was probably Sophie.
The guard took Charles to the door of a branch hall, stopped, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, please, the great elder is inside."
Charles put away his distracting thoughts and saw that the branch hall in front of him was unpretentious and very quiet. The Grand Elder always liked this kind of place. Even if he was in a high position, the Grand Elder was very simple. This was something everyone in the temple admired.
"Wait for me here." Charles said to the two bright knights.
The two of them obeyed the order and stayed outside the temple. Their status was high and they could pass freely in the temple. The only place where they did not dare to mess around was in front of the great elder.
Sophie is not afraid of the Great Elder because she and the Great Elder have a relationship like father and daughter. But the Great Elder treats them with dignity. They have not seen the Great Elder a few times in total. Moreover, the Holy Flame around the Great Elder has brought
The pressure is too strong and frightening.
The two of them stayed outside honestly. If His Highness called them in, they would be a little nervous.
Suddenly, an undetectable yet sharp energy wave came from inside the palace. Their expressions changed drastically, and they rushed inside without hesitation.
When the two people broke into the palace, they happened to see His Royal Highness Charles fall to the ground.
He opened his eyes wide, and there was a blood hole the size of a fist in his throat. Blood spurted out and flowed along his neck. In a moment, there was a pool of blood under him.
The two of them were struck by lightning, and then they reacted and assassinated! His Royal Highness Charles was assassinated!
Inside the temple, His Royal Highness Charles was assassinated.
The faces of the two knights of light were as white as paper. This had never happened before in the history of the temple. The temple was so tightly guarded that outsiders could not sneak in.
Outsiders, no, this was carefully planned by temple insiders!
The two of them suddenly remembered the guard who led the way. A bright knight dodged and appeared outside the palace. When he saw the guard lying on the ground with his head smashed, his face was ashen.
A shrill alarm sounded throughout the temple.
Snow White City.
Sophie's expression suddenly changed, and she clutched her chest. The sharp pain was like a knife, making her whole body tremble involuntarily.
"Your Highness..."
His body was shaking like a sieve, and he was arched into a ball, as if he was suffering from astonishing pain. A trembling voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying immense sadness and pain.
The surrounding Bright Knights were all stunned. They had never seen such pain and helplessness in their leader.
A knight asked urgently: "Captain, what's wrong with Your Highness?"
Sophie stood upright slowly, her body was still trembling, but she still stood upright tenaciously, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, her eyes were dark and deep, and her whole body exuded a terrifying aura.
"Charles is dead!"
Sophie spoke every word with murderous intent. At this moment, she was like the God of Death coming out of hell.
"Your Highness is dead?"
The Knights of Light were shaken and their expressions were dazed, but soon turned into expressions of grief and anger.
His Highness was assassinated!
Oh my God! How is this possible?
Who did it?
There is no answer yet as to who the real culprit is, but one thing is certain, it was definitely someone inside the temple who did it! This is the reason why they feel confused. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of the temple.
The temple has always been very united and has no internal strife.
And this is also the pride in the heart of any Knight of Light, and where their belief lies.
However, at such a critical moment, His Highness was assassinated. The impact on them was beyond imagination. Even the Holy Son dared to assassinate these people...
The belief in their hearts collapsed, leaving them confused.
Did it turn out that the temple had turned into this without even realizing it?
They have been selected since childhood, received the most cruel and rigorous training, and were eliminated again and again. Giving everything they have for the temple is the teaching they have received since childhood, and it is also their belief. In their hearts, apart from the Holy Spirit
The temple, nothing else.
And the temple convinced them that no matter where they were, the temple would always be respected. Inside the temple, they were united as one, and their victory after victory proved the power and justice of the temple.
In their hearts, the temple is the most sacred place in the world.
Sophie stood upright, holding on to the hilt of the sword at her waist. Her face was still pale, but her aura was as sharp as an unsheathed sword. In her deep eyes, there was sadness like the sea.
"It's those famous families."
Her voice was cold: "I am familiar with the temple, have the ability to lay out the layout, and grasp the time so accurately. No one except those from the top famous families can do it."
"Who is it?" A bright knight's voice was extremely angry.
"I don't know who it is." Sophie said coldly, but slowly pulled out the long sword from her waist: "But I know that the Qiu family must be involved. I was still wondering before, why did the Qiubei Summit come to Baixue City? Now
I understand, their purpose is to transfer us away from His Highness."
The knights were in great excitement.
"Kill them!"
"All famous families should be killed!"
"We will never let them go!"
Sophie drew out her sword, looked around, and said in a serious tone: "There are traitors in the temple, colluding with famous families, and trying to make peace inside and outside. If His Highness dies, who will benefit? Choose an alternate Holy Son! The elders will definitely ask for a new one.
The Holy Son, the temple cannot live without the Holy Son, not to mention it is at such a critical moment. It is really a good time to choose. Now one thing can affect the whole body. These famous families have united to force the temple to marry. For the sake of the overall situation, even if it is
The great elder also had to bow his head.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and a grumpy knight said angrily: "Aren't they afraid that the situation will collapse?"
"They are afraid, but they know better that this is the only chance for the temple to bow its head." Sophie was as calm as ice and snow at this time: "Because we are more afraid, and the elders are even more afraid."
Everyone was silent, shocked by the group leader's guess.
Someone broke the silence: "Then what should we do now?"
"Avenge Charles." A cold light flashed in Sophie's eyes: "Qiu Beifeng must die!"
"But we have no evidence."
Sophie walked out without looking back and said: "We don't need evidence."
