Chapter 998: Dimness in the reception room
Looking at Lei Xiao's resolute eyes, the worry in the speechless has eased a lot, nodded and said: "Your Excellency, I feel relieved. Although Yu can play a limited role, I will fully support it. Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Highness the Princess protect the Kingdom of Lengyan."
"Then please Mr. Wu, as long as we move forward side by side, the dawn of the Cold Flame Kingdom will not be shattered."
Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, and suddenly felt a lot more at ease in his heart.
Wu's strength is in the fifth-order eight-star, only one step away from the fifth-order peak powerhouse, and belongs to the first echelon of the national-level powerhouses in the towns of the human race.
And under Wu's command, there are also the guards guarding the palace and the six royal legions. Each of these forces is comparable to, or even slightly superior to, the most elite legions of the three giants.
In addition, the military power of the royal cities around the capital is also in Wu's hands.
The sum of the two is enough to reach the strength of 20 legions. This will undoubtedly be a great improvement for our side who is in urgent need of strengthening our strength!
"Uncle Wu, thank you so much."
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Ariel also showed a touch of excitement and excitement on her fair and delicate face, and smiled at Wu.
"Your Highness, the princess, you are polite. It is the greatest honor for the veteran to see a virtuous lord like Her Royal Highness coming to the Lengyan Kingdom. All the government affairs of the Lengyan Kingdom and the palace can finally return to normal."
Wu's voice was full of relief, as if a big rock hanging in his heart had finally landed.
For a moment, the originally somewhat dull atmosphere in the living room suddenly became high-spirited.
With the settlement of the throne dispute, this undoubtedly means that the power center of the entire Lengyan Kingdom will gradually return to the right track.
After all, in the previous power disputes, although there were no nobles who were still loyal to the old king, they tried their best to maintain the operation of the king's capital and the court. However, because a large number of important officials and generals came from various forces, many important The kingdom's institutions are all in a state of shutdown, which can be described as extremely chaotic.
"Uncle Wu, although my current ability is still relatively limited, but the heart that loves the Kingdom of Cold Flames will not lose to anyone."
With determination written all over Ariel's face, she nodded emphatically.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old minister and other old fellows will fully assist Her Highness at that time."
There was a little more excitement in Wu's voice, and he couldn't help but said: "If you can see Her Royal Highness Princess being crowned, His Majesty the old King will be very happy too."
"No uncle, how is the father's situation now?"
Hearing the ruthless and involuntary words, Ariel's starry eyes dimmed, and she gripped the armrest of the seat so tightly that even Lei Xiao could clearly feel that her body was trembling slightly because of worry.
Through in-depth communication with Ariel, Lei Xiao has already learned everything about this Princess Lengyan.
Ariel's mother passed away due to illness when she was very young. In addition, the old king had just conquered the northern border at that time, so he was extremely busy with government affairs, and even lived in the northern border for many years.
Therefore, Ariel's childhood memories are almost only the heavily guarded princess castle that she can never leave, and the maids who respect her endlessly.
As a noble royal princess, the young Ariel was puzzled and puzzled.
Even those respectful maids, when chatting with each other, often talk about their parents, mother's love, father's hard work, and the good time of the family in their leisure time in the afternoon.
But the noble self has no experience of a warm family.
There is only the burly back of the father who has been busy and unsmiling, and the dead mother who occasionally appears in the mouth of the father, but he can't remember it.
With the growth of age, Ariel, who gradually entered the rebellious period, began to unknowingly transform this doubt into coquettish and indifferent, until she became a wayward princess in the mouth of ministers and nobles.
In the end, because the northern border had stabilized one after another, the old king who had returned to the capital had enough time to spend with his little daughter whom he loved the most but hadn't seen for many years.
For Ariel, who has never experienced fatherly and motherly love since she was a child, this is tantamount to a great gift.
At this point, the situation is self-evident, and Ariel is obviously unwilling to let the lost and recovered father leave again.
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still in a coma, and her breath is getting weaker and weaker."
Wu was silent for a while, and finally said everything: "After you left the royal capital, the Chief Bright Bishop His Excellency Severn and the palace pharmacist team led by Master Yatuo have consulted several times, but there is still nothing to do. The only thing that can Certainly, Your Majesty's time is numbered."
"Yeah?"
Hearing this expected but unwilling answer, Ariel lowered her brows and her voice was as thin as a gossamer, obviously suppressing the uneasiness and grief in her heart.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, lightly patted the trembling shoulder of Princess Leng Yan, and comforted her silently.
Regarding the matter of Ariel's father, Lei Xiao had heard Ariel mention it many times, and each time he could hear the uncontrollable worry and gloom of Princess Lengyan.
So if possible, Lei Xiao would naturally be willing to save the old king. After all, Ariel's father was old, and he loved Ariel the most, and would not pose any threat to the territory.
Having said that, the Yatuo master Wu mentioned just now is the very powerful alchemy master that he saw in Songlin City at the beginning.
Since most alchemists who can refine healing potions are proficient in pharmacology, and healing potions are not omnipotent, it is not surprising.
As for the Chief Bright Bishop, Severn, he came from the branch of the Lengyan Kingdom in the Temple of Light.
As one of the famous neutral organizations of the human race that has saved the human race countries many times, the influence of the Temple of Light is needless to say.
Even the Lengyan Kingdom, which has a limited number of believers, has dozens of churches and prayer halls all over the country, and the Lengyan branch hall located in the capital is the center of power that manages these large and small churches.
These churches import a large number of bright pastors from the royal family and nobles from all over the world every year, so their status can be said to be extremely important.
And the manager of Leng Yan's branch hall, chief Guangming Bishop Severn, is undoubtedly the head of priests in the entire Leng Yan Kingdom, and his healing ability is naturally beyond doubt.
"It is said that this pious Archbishop Severn's strength is at the fifth level and seven stars, and he is indeed the strongest priest of King Lengyan."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded silently.
At this stage, although I have limited understanding of large-scale neutral organizations that transcend the royal families of various countries, such as the Temple of Light, the Alchemist Guild, and the Mercenary Guild.
But what is certain is that their comprehensive strength will never be inferior to the highest power center of any country, and even stronger. This can be seen from the strength of Archbishop Seven.
"Even this fifth-tier archbishop who is good at healing can't do anything?"
Seeing that Ariel's mood gradually stabilized, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and then asked Wu: "Then, have you found out what the crux of the old king's problem is?"
"To tell you the truth, Your Excellency, this is the most difficult problem at present."
Wuzhong sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Even Your Excellency Severn has not found the root cause of His Majesty's coma, and all kinds of powerful healing techniques and healing potions are useless, so there is no need at all." There is no way to start."
"So that's the case, can't you prescribe the right medicine?"
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin lightly, his brows furrowed even more.
One can imagine the degree of difficulty, but it is also extremely strange.
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao immediately asked the question he had been wondering for a long time: "Mr. Wu, how likely is it that you think this is man-made?"
"It's almost a certainty."
Nodding without hesitation, he said solemnly: "In recent years, although His Majesty's health has deteriorated day by day, making his strength not as good as before, he is still extremely healthy in general. Coupled with the daily conditioning and inspections of the court pharmacists, There was never anything out of the ordinary."
"Until that day, His Majesty the old king suddenly fell into a coma, as if he had been cast by some unknown spell or curse."
Wu's voice became more serious, and continued: "So Yu believes that all this is not accidental, but premeditated."
"Premeditated?!"
Ariel's star pupils were full of astonishment, and she said incredulously, "But the guards of the palace are so strict that not even a fly can fly in, and at that time, there were even powerful people around the father, including Uncle Wu and the White Knight. How did the other party attack the father?"
"What Her Royal Highness said is very true, and ordinary crooks naturally cannot do it."
Wu also stood up from his seat, the simple flame robe on his body seemed to become more fiery red.
He clenched his fist tightly and said word by word: "But there is a despicable force that may be able to do it easily."
"That is the Black Abyss Brotherhood, which we call the mysterious organization."
Lei Xiao said what was in Wu's heart, and then he took the bait and said, "As for their motives, it's very obvious. They want to plunge the Lengyan Kingdom into a vortex of power, and then take the opportunity to support the second prince to rise to the top. The purpose of controlling the Kingdom of Cold Flame."
"In this way, everything can be connected."
Ariel also got up, walked to Lei Xiao's side, frowned and said: "From the results, although the fourth swallowed up the boss and the second and became our final opponent, but it was between the boss and the boss. Second, when we are defeated one after another and lose troops and generals."
"If you look at the strength alone, there is no doubt that the second child, who was hidden from the beginning, has an absolute advantage in strength. In this case, it is almost impossible to finally defeat the boss and the fourth child with the cruel means of the Black Abyss Brotherhood. Any suspense."
Ariel's eyebrows were twisted into a mess, she gritted her teeth and said, "These damned guys, so they are the real culprits!"
"His Royal Highness's analysis is very thorough, but they did not expect to encounter the variable of Your Excellency Ke Qing."
Wu nodded, and continued to add: "The appearance of Your Excellency Ke Qing completely disrupted their plans and caused them to lose their troops, which made them finally give up their plan to fight for the throne."
"But I still don't understand one thing. With Heiyuan Brotherhood's method of vengeance, why did they disappear after the battle in Wangxing City and never show up again?"
Ariel frowned, walked slowly in the room, and her boots made a "tack-tap-tap" sound, and said puzzledly: "This does not conform to their style of work."
"Back to Your Highness, the answer to the matter is very simple."
In the calm voice, there was a bit more solemnity, and he said seriously: "That means they must have more important things to invest in, and they have no time to take care of us for the time being."
"I share the same opinion as Mr. Wu. This is the most worrying part. Except for some trivial clues, no one knows what terrible plan they are secretly planning."
Lei Xiao felt that the temperature around him seemed to drop a lot, he frowned and said: "But what is certain is that once they show up again, it will definitely cause a deadly storm."
"In addition to this, there is one more point worthy of our attention."
Lei Xiao turned to the burly Wu, nodded slightly and said: "Mr. Wu must have noticed that both the Holy Night Kingdom and the Grassland Kingdom next door have just undergone a change of power. If there is an accident, then we will not know for the time being, this will never be a coincidence."
"As expected of you, Your Excellency, this is exactly what Yu is going to talk about next."
Wu nodded to Lei Xiao, and UU Reading 's already old voice was obviously much deeper: "Just like what Your Excellency Ke Qing said, including the Lengyan Kingdom, there are already powers of the Three Kingdoms." There is a problem with the center at the same time, and this is just what Yu and others have seen on the surface."
"Coupled with the brotherhood's unfathomable strength, the result is naturally obvious. The opponent must be playing an unfathomable game of chess."
Hearing what Lei Xiao and Wu said, Ariel immediately came to her senses and blurted out: "Are you saying that all of this was done by the Heiyuan Brotherhood? To be able to cause such shocking waves in the Three Kingdoms in a very short period of time, What is the origin of this Abyss Brotherhood?"
"These are still unknown for the time being, but the only thing that is certain is that the time left for us to prepare for the battle is indeed numbered."
Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn, and he nodded slightly: "No matter what conspiracy the other party is hiding behind, I am afraid that some other surrounding countries may have been secretly controlled by him, and they will never let go of this golden opportunity." Yes, there will be a large-scale attack."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room became serious again.
