Chapter 154 The meeting of the leaders of the two factions
Under Xue Hua's order, Lilia quickly came to the bookshelf. She saw it grabbing the edge of the bookshelf with both claws and pushing it to the side. With a "click" sound like something breaking, that
The huge red wooden bookshelf quietly slides open to the side like a sliding door.
Behind the secret door of the bookshelf, a small but very dark space was revealed in front of everyone, and His Majesty King Wood VI of King's Harbor was standing behind the secret door with a look of astonishment on his face, still holding the hand he just held.
The crystal bottle and crystal cup sent by the servant...
"Yo! Your Majesty the King..." Xue Hua raised the corner of his mouth and found it very interesting to see the surprised look on Wood VI's face.
This king is not very old, he is only nearly forty this year. He usually has a serious and indifferent expression. It is really rare for this kind of shocked expression to appear on his face.
When he saw Xue Hua wearing a psychic exoskeleton skin, Wood VI was shaken for a moment, and then his face was full of frustration and despair.
"So that's it, have you been bribed by those guys?" He said, but soon there was a ferocious look in his eyes: "Tell me, how many benefits they gave you, I can give you ten times!
"
"...Ten times...what a ghost!" Xue Hua was stunned by the king's words, and then he realized that this guy had obviously misunderstood something.
"Those nobles don't have the ability to instruct me to be their killer. I'm not here to find you for such a trivial matter!"
"Aren't you sent by the nobles?"
The king was stunned for a moment, and then a look of joy quickly appeared on his face.
Since Xue Hua was not sent by the nobles to kill him, it was obvious that he was here to attend the Harvest Festival luncheon he held!
With a powerful ally like Xue Hua joining him, Wood Six simply didn't know how to lose this political game...
However, just as he was preparing to entertain Xue Hua in person with a smile on his face, Xue Hua's next words suddenly shattered his sweet dream.
"Don't be too happy too early." Xue Hua said expressionlessly: "I'm not here to support you. My only purpose here is to stop the True God Religion's conspiracy to turn the entire King's Harbor into a demonic land."
"The True God Religion... wants to transform King's Harbor into Demonic Land?"
Wood VI blinked his eyes and looked at Xue Hua as if he were insane.
He had just heard Kane mention this theory yesterday, but because he felt that it was too absurd, and Kane had no concrete evidence, even if these words came from the world-famous "wise man" Dika
He really couldn't believe what Kane said.
He knew that the True God Cult was making a big fuss in Kegistan, but that was Kegistan!
This is King's Harbor across the sea! It's thousands of miles away from the base of those cultists!
Although the Frank family has been reminding him to pay attention to the threat of the True God Cult, and Marcy has also investigated the clues of secret collusion between the cultists and the aristocratic faction, he always believes that the True God Cult is just a scabies disease.
They may participate in the coup, but Thaksin said they have the power to overthrow the entire King Port...
Wood VI still felt that this was too alarmist.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Xue Hua knew that it was obviously impossible to convince the stubborn King on his own.
But that's right. Yesterday, Mr. Kane ran to the palace and talked with him for most of the day but failed to convince him. Now with just a few words from him, how could he possibly change Wood before the True God Religion's plan has begun?
What are the thoughts of the sixth generation?
So Xue Hua simply stopped trying to persuade him, and instead prepared to let Lilia knock him out directly, thinking of moving this guy to a safe place first.
However, at this moment, the door to the king's study was kicked open very rudely again!
"Your Majesty the King, it turns out that you are hiding here. I would like to say that the guy on the altar outside does not look like a king. It turns out that he is indeed a stand-in!"
Anthony Joshua, wearing a wide red robe and an aristocratic hat on his head, moved his plump body slowly into the study, with a very warm and friendly smile on his face.
"Ah! It turns out that Mr. Xue Hua is here too. It seems that you have already made a decision between the two invitations!"
"Anthony! How did you know I was here?!"
Seeing the legendary ancestor of the Joshua family appearing in front of him, Wood VI's expression turned gloomy again.
The secret room in this study was not built specially by him, but was left by the original consul of the old city of Dunkre.
After the Wood family's army captured Dunclay, the consul's mansion was expanded into today's Seacliff Palace.
This secret room was discovered during the expansion of the palace. The king who discovered the secret room did not make any announcement at that time, but kept the secret room quietly and passed it on to his descendants as a royal secret.
Although this secret room is not big, it is built very secretly, and there is also a magical artifact passed down from ancient times hidden in it, which can cover most detection methods, and can also help the people hiding in it to find a small place near the secret room.
Casting the "telekinesis" spell within the range to obtain items can be said to be both hidden and safe.
Since King Wood VI learned the location of the secret room, he has told no one except his two cronies.
One of these two cronies was Marcy Frank of the Frank family, who was the military minister of King's Port. Only after the Frank family publicly expressed their support for the King's faction did he inform him of the location of the secret room.
And the other one is the royal advisor who has been following him to protect his safety, the legendary mage "Angel Stars"!
However, now, this secret room that was supposed to be secret was first easily found by Xue Hua, and then Anthony, who quietly arrived at the palace at some unknown time, came directly to the study room very familiarly. This made Wood VI begin to doubt this secret room that only existed for generations.
Is the secret passed down from king to king secretly known to everyone?
And the most bizarre thing is that Anthony actually saw through his stand-in at a glance. In order to be more realistic, he obviously sent all his legendary advisers to support him!
Could it be that the noble faction had already seen through his plan, and was just waiting for him to crash into the net, and then easily hold him hostage?
Thinking of this, Wood VI felt his heart become cold, and even the look on his face turned slightly blue.
When Antony heard the king's question, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter. He was like a knight who had just won, showing off his victory skills to his defeated generals.
"Your Majesty the King, is there any wall in this world that is airtight?
You are not the only one who knows how secret your secret room is!"
Hearing Anthony's words, Wood VI was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly turned his face to Xue Hua, with a look of extreme panic slowly showing on his face!
