For Xio, she changed her surname and traveled alone from East Chester County to Backlund just for one thing, which was to find out the truth about her father's death and restore the glory of the family and the reputation of her father. This is also
The reason why she was easily persuaded to join MI9.
Although she had been trying to investigate the truth about her father's death during her time in MI9. However, her rank was too low and she was in the "external" faction. She did not have the authority to access some internal intelligence and materials. Even though
Even now, she doesn't have the qualifications.
Because her father, Mason Dill, is the chief of the palace guard and has corresponding authority in MI9, which is equivalent to the deputy director responsible for the royal family. If she wants to access relevant information, she must at least become the deputy director. What's more,
There are obviously many aspects of her father's death that are unreasonable, and the deputy director-level authority may not be able to find out the truth.
Therefore, Xio could only place all her hopes on Jeffrey Lister, who arranged for her to join MI9.
Now that the other party is saying that she will be rewarded, does that mean that she is going to tell her the truth?
"You are right. What I want to tell you is indeed related to your father..." Rawls looked at the somewhat excited Xio and raised a finger to make a quiet gesture, "Don't be so excited. This is
you deserved."
Xio calmed down, clasped his hands, swallowed, and nodded, looking like "I'm ready."
"Actually, you have already guessed that your father's death is related to Viscount Stepford."
Hearing these words, Xio clenched her fists tighter and bit her lips. Her green eyes were not too surprised. Although she was not smart enough, even a normal person could imagine that if the chief of the palace guard
If he is suspected of rebellion, then even if his deputy is not discovered, he will definitely be implicated.
But now, Viscount Stratford has become the chief of the palace guard!
This means that his father's death must be related to Viscount Stepford.
"In fact, you should have a guess that is closer to the truth, but you just don't dare to tell anyone, right?"
Rawls's voice suddenly became low and magnetic, with a hint of majesty at the same time. Xio's body trembled, and he almost instinctively shook his head to resist the speculation deep in his mind.
That guess was too scary. If it were true, then her efforts over the past few years would have turned into a sad joke.
Seeing Xio's reaction, Rawls raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, he was still suspicious.
Hugh's father was the chief of the palace guard, and his main responsibility was to control the royal guard and protect the royal family members. However, he was charged with participating in the rebellion and was sentenced to be hanged. If this charge was true, there would naturally be nothing to say. But of course Hugh firmly believed in himself
My father did not participate in the rebellion and was framed.
The question naturally arises, who would frame him? Framing a palace guard chief? You must know that this is not a normal world. There are too many extraordinary abilities to verify lies, especially for the royal family. In other words, if
Without the tacit consent of the one who sits on the throne, the false accusation cannot be established.
For Mason Dill, his identity is a bit embarrassing. His identity as chief of the palace guard was not given by George III, but by the former king "The Strong" William VI. He was accused of participating in the rebellion.
When he was executed for the crime, George III had been on the throne for less than a year. (Note 1)
This is an answer that is very easy to deduce, but for Xio, even if she has doubts, she will most likely think it is a fantasy that she is eager for revenge. In addition to the inherent thinking that the king is a good person and the officials and nobles below are bad guys.
, and once you stick to this speculation, your heart will shake no matter how firm it is.
How can a low-sequence Beyonder face a family that has ruled the country for more than a thousand years?
Xio only felt that his already groggy brain was even more chaotic. It seemed that he had lost the ability to think in an instant. His body felt as if it did not belong to him, as if he had fallen into the sea. He could only watch the sea water submerge him little by little, but he
But I couldn't move a finger.
"Do you feel like you have no hope of revenge?"
Rawls's voice sounded again, causing Xio to wake up. As if he had seen the last straw, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, but was glanced at by those cold brown eyes and immediately calmed down.
.
"What do you want me to do?"
Xio knew very well that she couldn't get revenge on her own, but if someone helped her, there might be some hope, especially if that person knew that her target was the king.
"You'll find out later."
A strange light shone in Rawls's brown eyes, reflecting Xio's figure, and his voice was full of majesty:
"Keep the secret!"
"It is forbidden to leak the conversation between me and you today to others."
As a "judge", Xio also had the same ability, but he still felt that his whole body was shaking and he had to obey the other party's instructions, so he instinctively replied:
"yes."
When she recovered, she found that Jeffrey Lister in front of her had disappeared, and she was the only one left in the deep alley.
Xio took a deep breath, raised her hands, and looked at the marks left by her nails on her palms. After a few seconds, she clenched her fists again, turned around and left the alley.
…
"Your Excellency." Selt, who had black hair and golden eyes and was wearing a black dress, bowed slightly to Rawls who was sitting on the sofa. "Is there anything you need me to do?"
Rawls, who had just delivered Maxi Palace ice cream to Will Asceptin, pointed to the single sofa opposite and said:
"sit down."
Even though he could kill Selt with just a thought, he still had to have due respect for a demigod.
"You should have collected relevant information about Intis?"
"Yes, after all, it was the 'Conqueror Legion' that once traversed the Southern Continent. Although it is not as powerful as it was more than a hundred years ago, it can still influence the situation in Intis."
Selt sat down and said while recalling:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So far, the 'Legion of Conquerors' has been roughly divided into three parts, of which the National Assembly accounts for at least 60% of the power, like Sauron, Ka
The Pei family occupies 20% of the power, and the rest insists on independence in the name of Savannah Lafitte. But this is only a clear division now, and it will take time to be specific. However, the previous turmoil in the country of Intis
The situation has actually improved..."
The National Assembly is the center of power in Intis, but it is unknown how many seats there are under the influence and control of the Sauron family and the Capet family. The 20% of the power is only on the surface.
As for those people under the banner of Count Savannah Lafitte, they either really think so, or they just want to sell it at a good price, and in the end it may not even fall into the hands of Intis.
The domestic situation in Intis has improved, but it was just the calm before the thunderstorm. The original situation was chaotic because the issue of the "Conqueror Legion" was discussed again. Now that there is really a problem with this legion, it is natural to grab it first.
Cake. When you feel that you have a little bit of cake in your hand, the situation will become even more difficult to control.
Rawls is also worried about this. In the face of internal chaos, the fastest solution is actually to attack externally and use external pressure to alleviate internal conflicts. Finding a target also requires choices, and the countries of Central and South Africa are obviously suitable.
In the early stages of the war between Feysac and Roen, Intis was a bystander, and did not join until George III failed to become a god. But if he joined Fenebaud's war against the Central and Southern countries due to internal conflicts, then Rawls would face
There was too much pressure to get it right, so he had to prepare in advance.
"Is there anything going on in Lucerne?"
After listening, Rawls turned around and asked about Govington's situation.
"The eldest prince's trust in Lucerne is not as high as that of Rebel who defected from Charlie." A trace of ridicule flashed in Selt's eyes. He knew very well how Rebel was trusted.
"The recent publicity has made him even more proud, and he is no longer satisfied with the present. At the art exhibition the day before yesterday, he arrived in a carriage with the eldest son of Earl Hall, and he was also the most trusted political aide of Duke Negan Jr., the new
There was close communication with the canonized Viscount Rolls Adrian.
"He should be using Hibbert and Rawls as the pivot to win over the New Party and the Conservative Party behind them. Although there is no evidence, corresponding rumors have spread between the two parties, and some even support Brother
The absurd idea of Winton becoming the crown prince to gain the opponent’s position.”
Close communication? Why don’t I know... Rawls’s eyelids twitched, and when he heard the last sentence, he held his forehead helplessly. Because this idea was put forward by a certain nobleman who supported the Conservative Party.
During this period, meetings on how to increase votes before the general election have become more and more frequent between the two parties. All kinds of no-brainer ideas are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and there are almost none that may be used.
"It's time for Lucerne to take the next step. After working hard for so long, there should be some harvest..." Rawls raised his index and middle fingers and tapped the armrest of the sofa.
"yes."
Lucerne is a member of the personnel team of MI9. This team is responsible for the selection, allocation and transfer of members. Except for some extremely key intelligence personnel, it has information on almost all personnel of MI9. This is extremely important to Govington.
Big temptation.
The eldest prince wanted to gradually contact other members of MI9 through Lucerne and erode this part of the power. Just to be on the safe side, both Rawls and Selt asked Lucerne to slow down this step.
Now, you can officially throw out the bait.
"Assign Jordi's man there."
Rawls was naturally referring to Hugh, and it was mainly for this reason that he came to Selt.
George III only had one adult male heir. If something happened again, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so Rawls had been thinking about when to deal with Govington. As the war approached, he had already made a judgment, but he still had to make a decision in advance.
Make some preparations.
Selt didn't hesitate and nodded directly in agreement:
"no problem."
…
The northwest suburb of Backlund, a jungle near Elk Manor.
"Ha, you have traces of being a parasite in the body of an ordinary animal, but you haven't spoken to humans for a long time...Are you confused about the knowledge you gained from the potions and the secret voices you heard when you were promoted to Sequence 4?
, didn’t include a ‘reminder’ in this regard? Well, I deleted it.”
"No!"
Angry and resentful voices came from a semi-mutated tree that was shaking crazily, full of indescribable pain.
As the big tree returned to calm, a little stream of light flew out from inside and poured into a figure wearing a robe-like black windbreaker, black pants and black leather shoes.
The figure had a broad forehead and a thin face. He wore a tall top hat and distinctive monocle crystal glasses, and looked extremely elegant.
Amon took out a piece of silk, took off the single crystal glasses, wiped them and muttered:
"It's really stupid. I said it was too late, and she actually believed it. The biggest shortcoming of a guy who is close to losing control is that he has no brains and is easily deceived. As long as you think about it seriously, how could you not understand the problem here? If I could
Quickly deal with her and take away her destiny, why do you have to tell her this..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she put her monocle crystal glasses back on, her eyes coldly swept deep into the woods, where a shadow that was so thick that it could not be diffused appeared at some point, and black mist gushes out from inside, and a nearly
A three-meter-tall figure walked out of it.
He only wore a shirt on his upper body, and a pair of tight-fitting trousers on his lower body that were convenient for fighting. He wore a thick dark brown belt around his waist, which was divided into grids, and he carried two swords behind his back.
He has blond hair, blue eyes, a big nose, a big beard, and a bloody cross between his left eye.
"What did I see? A 'demon hunter' who associates with 'devils' is really rare to see..."
The coldness in Amon's eyes disappeared, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little bit. As if he felt that this was not enough to express his surprise, he actually raised his hands and applauded.
Snap, snap, snap.
"Amon!"
Andreevich opened his mouth, but the voice did not belong to him. It was difficult to tell his age. It was like fingernails scratching a blackboard, which was extremely harsh. The surrounding trees began to rot from the inside, rotting into a thick black liquid that gathered and flowed.
It reached his feet and climbed up his body, forming a flowing black armor.
At the same time, the morning light burst out from his right eye, covering key areas such as his head and heart, forming a rather evil scene.
Amon stopped clapping, but her smile did not fade at all. She tilted her head, as if she was wondering if her name was Amon.
"I'm very curious about how you did this. You must know that the relationship between Olmir and Fabuti is not very good. It is not that easy to neutralize the power of the two of them."
Note 1: Although there is no specific time when George III ascended the throne, I infer that it should be less than ten years. Mason Dill was the chief of the palace guard of William VI. He was accused of rebellion eight years ago, which can also explain why he chose to report George.
