Chapter 389 The King's Blood

? Gawain is not a hot-blooded young man, nor does he view the upcoming war with naive and simple ideas - so even if he realizes that all things will eventually die, he does not use his blood to call for peace at all. idea.

After figuring out the cause and effect of the incident, Gawain realized that although this civil war was expected by the Association for the End of Everything, it was by no means something that a cult group like the Association for the End of Everything could push—it was a historical trend The inevitable outcome of the war is as inevitable as the war between Anzu and Typhon is bound to break out.

Francis II fell. It was the high-ranking bishop of the Society for the End of All Things who killed him, and the mastermind was his son, but the old king didn't just die at the hands of these two people. His death was The result of the joint game and advancement of several forces.

Edmund needed him to die, not only because he needed a reason to start a civil war, but also because the prince wanted to eradicate the biggest "compromiser" in the royal family, and used the king's death to maximize the indignation of the domestic aristocracy. Fortunately, the shortest the authority to raise troops within the time limit;

The Duke of Eastland needs him to die, because the Duke's allegiance has never been the king, but Prince Edmund, or a "Moen royal family" who can return to the era of the First Dynasty;

Emperor Typhon also needs him to die, because Typhon needs Ansu to break out a civil war, and Gawain is almost certain that Typhon will quietly watch the civil war in Ansu after this, until the ancient kingdom completely falls apart;

The Wilder family in the north, the Duchess Victoria Wilder, does she need the king to die too? Francis II is the most difficult king to control since the establishment of the Second Dynasty. Although the king seems to be forgiving, he is extremely tough and cunning. It took him nearly 40 years to break free from Wilder. The control of the family, did the Wilder family want to change to a more obedient king? Like Wales? Moen...

Many sharp knives are inserted into Francis II, and all things will die, just push the sharp knives of this dynasty a little.

Therefore, the second civil war of Ansu is the same as the Ansu-Typhon war, which is a historical inevitability, but the difference is that the latter has been postponed, and the former has become a foregone conclusion at the moment of the fall of Francis II.

The blood shed by the king must be paid for with the blood of the entire kingdom. Anyone's appeal, appeal, running, and revealing the truth are all in vain. Even if the "old ancestor" Gawain speaks, it is impossible for anyone to speak at this time. Listen, in fact, even if some people listen, they will deliberately pretend not to hear.

In the Shadow Experiment Field, the personnel who stayed here are still doing some finishing work.

Tyr put away his sea devil form and summoned a large water ball to start cleaning up the disgusting wreckage left by Clement after his death.

Solderin took his steel rangers and began to set up lights all over the Shadow Experiment Field. These warriors experienced the mental shock brought by Tyr's sea devil form, and almost everyone passed it more than three times. The san check, at this time, all the san values ​​are full of energy and high-spirited, and even the work efficiency has more than doubled...

Gao Wen and Amber came to the center of the Shadow Experiment Field together. Looking at the circular pit on the platform, Gao Wen thought thoughtfully: "That is to say, in the corresponding position of the Shadow Realm, there is an unstable crack here. When someone activates the Shadow Signet in the present world, the unstable rift will open a space channel in the present world and summon the shadow dwellers?"

"That's what I judged," Amber nodded. "But the space rift is obviously unstable. If the shadow dwellers pass through, it's okay to say that the passage of people in the present world will cause the passage to collapse quickly."

"...The Signet of Shadows is a relic of the ancient Gondor Empire. This shadow experiment field is also a creation of the ancient Gondor Empire. There must be a connection between them..." Gawain looked around the huge cave, his face full of thought. Look, "Even in the Gondor period, human research on the Shadow Realm was not very in-depth, at most to the extent that a small 'extra-dimensional warehouse' could be opened in the Shadow Realm to store some important items, but for Scholars have not yet come to a clear conclusion about the nature of the shadow world and the reasons for its formation."

"This should be the place where they studied the essence of the Shadow Realm back then," Amber shook his head and said, "This pit was a fixed portal built back then, and the Shadow Seal was a tool used by researchers back then to 'open the door'? "

"Perhaps... But what I'm more curious about is why these studies are carried out in the 'Fortress of Disobedience'," Gawain expressed his doubts, "The purpose of this fortress is to find a way out for mankind in the tide of magic. , Could it be that... the Gondor scholars of the year thought that one of the ways out was the Shadow Realm?"

Amber blinked and thought for a while, then shook his head loudly: "I don't know about this - although I can enter the Shadow Realm, I don't know if the Shadow Realm will be affected by the magic tide."

"Can you communicate with the shadow dwellers?" Gawain asked Amber's eyes curiously.

Amber spread out his hands: "If you think two people talking to each other in their sleep can be called 'communication', then I can communicate with them."

"I see..." Gawain shook his head, dumbfounded, "But then again, what kind of existence are shadow dwellers? Do they have their own society? Are they shadow-type 'elemental creatures'?"

Many shadow researchers are aware of the existence of shadow dwellers. Even Gawain Cecil, who is not a magician, knows some secrets about shadow dwellers because of his extensive knowledge, but as Gawain knows In that case, what everyone knows is only "secret news". Shadow dwellers, a special creature that has a human form but is obviously different from humans, is a mystery to all scholars, due to its strong offensiveness and the shadow world itself. Strangeness, no one has successfully established communication with the shadow dwellers, and since the shadow dwellers cannot exist stably in the present world for a long time, no one has successfully "captured" them.

Hearing Gawain's question, Amber put his hand under his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, but I suspect that they are at least civilized - they are all wearing clothes!"

Hearing this answer, Gawain couldn't help but glanced at Amber: "You have a good reason, but what you said is the same as what you didn't say - aren't you the so-called master of shadows? I thought you knew more about the world of shadows than at least. I have more."

Amber crossed his hips and plausibly said, "That's why you say it's a 'name'!"

Gao Wen: "..."

Is the shame of this elf really shameless when he admits this kind of thing?

Seeing Amber's expression of not being ashamed but proud, Gawain could only curl his lips, then glanced up and down at the half-elf in front of him: "Speaking of which... Have you ever thought that you are with this shadow experiment field? Does it matter?"

Talking about the topic of life experience, Amber put away the hippie smile on her face, and she quietly glanced at the circular pit: "I don't know... Although I saw the space rift, I saw Francis II When I used the Shadow Signet to open the space rift, I thought about it...but I didn't have a clue. After all, my parents who never even met only left me one. It's just a ring, who knows what that ring means, is it really related to my life experience? Or is it just so that the person who finds me can give me a bite to eat for the sake of the ring? Even... Maybe my parents also It's just two little thieves, that ring was stolen, picked up, and put on me, after all, the ring doesn't look very valuable when it's not activated..."

"Your adoptive father, and Pittman, don't they know anything about your background?"

"Where would they know," Amber laughed, seemingly relaxed, "My adoptive father was a thief, claiming to be the strongest stalker in the South, but he's never done anything but thieves in his life, Pittman Uncle... Needless to say, you all know that although you have some skills, your brain is full of tricks..."

"Pitman..." Thinking of the druid who lived all day in the territory, but actually not only cracked the secret of the inversion of divine power, but also led the establishment of the entire alchemy industry project, and at the same time seemed to have a lot of knowledge of the occult, Druid, Gawain shook his head, "He's not easy."

"Lord, the lighting points have been set up - only so many can be set up first, we don't have enough magic weave units."

Salderling's report interrupted the conversation between Gawain and Amber: Although the high-ranking ranger and Gawain would be known as old friends in private, Salderling insisted on addressing Gawain when talking about business. for the "Lord".

Gawain glanced around the huge cave and saw that lighting was set up on the road from the entrance of the cave to the central platform, and there were also temporary magic spar lamps in some drier areas, he nodded slightly: " Evacuate first, and then organize another expedition team to inspect the entire cave. All return."

The next day, Cecil's pre-war mobilization meeting was held as scheduled.

Looking at the heads of various departments standing in front of him, Gawain did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Everyone, Ansu will face a war - King Francis II was killed last night."

He had also hesitated to tell this amazing information so early, but before the meeting, he made up his mind.

This is a meeting that can only be attended by the heads of the various departments of the Government Affairs Office. Each of the participants determines the operation of a part of the main functions of Cecil's society. They all have the qualifications to know this information. Hetty convened this meeting in advance because he saw the fire in Changfeng Fortress the night before and heard the information brought by Amber. He called these people on the premise of knowing that the king was assassinated. Wen also felt that it was time for everyone to be clear about the future direction.

Although almost all the high-level officials in the Government Affairs Office knew that Cecil, a huge social machine, would not be placed at the foot of the Dark Mountains, this layer of window paper would still have to be pierced.

Sure enough, Gawain's words directly caused an uproar in the conference hall.

Even the two knights Byron and Philip, who knew the situation last night, showed a solemn appearance.

Because until this moment, they dare not believe that this thing is true.

"I know what you want to ask," Gawain raised a hand, and the scene immediately fell silent, he continued, "It wasn't the Typhons who did it - it was the cultists who all die, and the cultists who colluded with cultists. Together with Prince Edmund. And I have every reason to believe that the Duke of Eastern is among them!"
