Regarding his father's reputation and the conspiracy hatched by some people, Yavid accepted Lu Xiao's suggestion without saying a word.
The test results were "satisfactory", and the condemned prisoner who was eroded by the unknown energy continued to scream in the palace garden.
After about 5 minutes, the death row prisoner's screams stopped. His body seemed to be accustomed to the erosion of unknown energy, but his behavior became very strange.
Originally, the death row prisoner had been begging for mercy from Yavid, hoping to receive a pardon from the king.
After being completely eroded by the unknown energy, the death row prisoner's expression changed many times. He frantically wanted to kill Yavid and establish himself as king. There were serious problems with his thinking and logic.
"Enough!"
Yavid's chest rose and fell violently, and he already understood the real reason for his father's madness.
"Pull it down and give him a good time."
The effect of the red energy was not conjectured by Lu Xiao alone, but an inference drawn by Aletheia through scientific calculations, which is at least 60% accurate.
Facts have proved that Aletheia's inference was correct, and the source of Geelong's madness was this energy of unknown origin.
Now that the method has been proven, considering the current situation, the person who did it is ready to do it.
Yavid, who had always been gentle, clenched his fists and whispered two names through clenched teeth.
"Bahawa! Sirius!"
Bahawa is the former high priest of the Sun Cult and has the power and status second only to the king in the kingdom.
After the fall of Jilang, Bahawa coerced the queen and the young prince and fled to Sundown Castle, claiming that the young prince Itamen was the legitimate heir to the throne, and he was the assistant officer who replaced King Itamen in power.
...To put it bluntly, it is just setting up a puppet to exercise the authority of the emperor.
Sirius was the chief military governor of the Kingdom of Calgar before the rebellion, and the two men controlled the belief system and military system respectively.
If these two important ministers join forces to plot against Geelong, it is indeed possible to succeed, and the probability is not low.
Being able to basically restore the stability of the Kingdom of Calgar to pre-war stability in just two years, Yavid was by no means incompetent. As a person who personally experienced what happened back then, he quickly pieced together all the clues.
But knowing the truth is one thing, being able to risk everything to avenge his father is another.
The Kingdom of Calgar was severely damaged by the turmoil a few years ago, and has yet to return to its peak national strength.
In contrast, Shadow Calgar uses the brutal arena to siphon wealth from thrill-hungry nobles, and then invests all of the money in the military.
Although the comprehensive national strength of the two sides is not directly proportional, under the command of Sirius, the military strength of Shadow Calgar is not much weaker than that of the Kingdom of Calgar.
If the two sides fought, it would be difficult to determine the final outcome, and the civil war might attract the attention of the warlords of the Oselan warlords. Yavid did not dare to issue the order to start the war easily.
When Yavid's face was uncertain, Lu Xiao tried to persuade him: "King Yavid, there is no need to rush."
"Now the Kingdom of Calgar should first stabilize Oseland, completely eliminate the threat of Delva, and use his fate to scare other warlords from the main war faction."
"Only when the rear is stable can more troops be used to deal with Shadow Calgar. Maybe... I can persuade the Nora tribe to provide some help to Calgar."
"Nora?"
Yavid asked in surprise: "Are you sure? The Nora people are famous for their rejection of foreigners. Didn't they swear that they would never leave their holy land?"
"Well..."
Lu Xiao smiled mysteriously: "That's usually true, but what if the Mother of All Things suddenly orders them to go out and eliminate the metal demons?"
…
The more ignorant the social background, the stronger the role of religious belief.
Just like the Nora tribe, they firmly believe in the existence of the Mother of All Things, and will never hesitate in the orders given by the Mother of All Things.
After Lu Xiao's analysis, what they called the mother of all things was actually Gaia's dull subroutine.
Aletheia could completely disguise herself and issue an order in the name of the "Mother of All Things" to have the Nora tribe leave the Holy Land to launch an expedition and join the Kingdom of Calgar in the encirclement and suppression of Shadow Calgar and the Eclipse Cult.
But now is not the time.
The main force and military leaders of the Nora tribe are hunting down the murderers of the Eclipse Cult. Before they complete their revenge and return to the Holy Land, the Nora tribe cannot send enough troops to join the war.
Lu Xiao's explanation allowed Yavid to finally learn the truth about his father's madness and the real culprit behind it. Feeling Lu Xiao's help twice in a row, Yavid decided to give him a set of real estate in Meridian City and invited Lu Xiao to do so.
Xiao stayed in Ziwu City as his consultant.
Living in Olin's house was not a long-term solution. Lu Xiao thought about it and accepted Yavid's gift, but declined his invitation as a consultant.
"King Yavid, please forgive me."
Before leaving, Lu Xiao saluted Yavid: "I am a traveler and I will not stay in one place for a long time."
"Until Shadow Calgar is destroyed and the black hand hiding behind them is found, I will stand with the Kingdom of Calgar, but when everything calms down, travelers will start their journey again."
Yavid smiled with relief: "Is it like a breeze blowing through the mountains and forests... Anyway, at least before you leave, please give us your full assistance. I must seek justice and honor for my father."
After a conversation with Yavid, Lu Xiao learned the story of the military coup that year.
The person who killed Mad King Jilang was not Yavid himself, but Allende who couldn't stand Bahawa's provocation and acted impulsively.
No matter who is responsible, Bahawa will not let go of this perfect opportunity to discredit Yavid.
He coerced the queen and the young prince Itamen to flee Ziwu City, spreading rumors that Yavid had killed his father along the way.
Yavid worked hard to clarify the facts after stabilizing the situation in Meridian City, but preconceived notions were implanted in the hearts of many Kalgar people, and it was difficult to change people's inherent impressions through pale words.
For more than two years, Yavid has been accused of patricide.
The truth about Jilang's madness is a heavy blow to Bahawa and Sirius. As long as the effect of red bite on the human body can be proven in front of the people of Meridian City, the legitimacy that Bahawa has always claimed will become meaningless.
.
These political struggles are not something Lu Xiao needs to consider. Yavid's goals are the same as Lu Xiao's, and he doesn't mind helping the Sun King put on a good show in Meridian City.
There was no news about Elsa yet. Although Yavid was very worried, under Lu Xiao's persuasion, he temporarily suppressed his anxiety and focused on announcing the truth.
Meridian City Square.
With the cooperation of Lu Xiao, the residents of Ziwu City and the princes and nobles summoned by Yavid witnessed with their own eyes the tragic situation of another death row prisoner.
The truth about Mad King Jilang's madness caused a huge stir in Ziwu City and even the entire Kingdom of Calgar in a short period of time.
As a prince who already held great power at that time, Yavid had a lot of records of the whereabouts of Bahawa and Siris.
Yavid has been very restrained since he came to the throne. This time he finally clearly accused Bahawa and Siris of being regicides, traitors, the culprits of the Red Bite, and the public enemies of all mankind.
Spontaneously spread by the people who saw it with their own eyes, the truth of that year quickly reached Sunset Castle. The sudden change caused Bahawa and Shadow Kalgar to be confused.
The public opinion war between the two sides has now officially entered a fever pitch.
