Chapter 414
"It is possible, but not very likely." Vina thought for a while and said, "After all, joining the hero will not benefit them at all. No matter how they try to please the hero, they cannot change their bloodline."
"Moreover, if they have really joined the hero, why do they suggest that we inform other monsters of the news?"
"The number of monsters wandering around the imperial city is very exaggerated now. With so many powerful monsters appearing together, I don't think this is good news for the hero. Can he kill us all?"
"From this point of view, there is no doubt that Iyeta and Heloise want the hero to die."
"They don't care who killed the hero or who becomes the new demon king. All they want to see is the hero die and they regain their freedom."
Vina gave the answer based on her own analysis, and this answer obviously coincides with Beatrice's.
"What about Iyeta's advice?" Beatrice asked again.
"That makes sense. Needless to say, the hero was able to snatch Heloise and Ieta from the eldest prince, which has proved that the hero is strong enough. Although his strength is exhausted now, we must also be on guard against whether the hero has any backup plan."
"Moreover, the hero is accompanied by former members of the hero team, the scarlet Valkyrie Ekaterina, the ghost archer Sylph and the great magician Athena. These three have experienced a long war with monsters, and their strength should not be underestimated."
"In addition, there are other women, and those women are not weak either."
"What's more, the hero is now the Pope of the Holy See, and this time he left the Holy See, he must have A large number of people will be arranged for protection. If we are the only ones who can really kill the hero, there will be huge losses. Facing the siege of other competitors, we may not be able to protect the hero's body. "
"Why not follow Iyeta's suggestion and spread this news. When a large number of monsters besiege the hero, we will wait for them to tire themselves out. As long as we can snatch the hero's body in the end, it will be fine."
"Don't forget the order of His Majesty the Demon King. Whoever can send the hero's body to him will be the next Demon King."
"As for who killed the hero, does it matter?"
The first chapter of 4,000 words is here, and there will be a second chapter before 6 pm
Chapter 491 The stupidest one
That's right, as long as the hero's body can be sent to His Majesty the Demon King, it will be fine. As for who killed the hero, it has never been an important question.
A smile gradually bloomed on Beatrice's face. As a monster, there is no need for any psychological pressure to do such a thing. Beatrice is sure that if she kills the hero at a huge price, her brothers and sisters will definitely make the same choice.
"Your Highness, regarding Ijeta and Heloise..." Vina weighed her words carefully: "After the matter is done, will you really give them freedom?"
As Ijeta's sister, Vina absolutely does not want to see this happen.
"How could it be? What good would it be for me to have two more subordinates who were once captured by humans?" Beatrice showed a cold smile on her face. She knew very well how to make a choice.
The blood elves have surrendered to her, and Vina has a great influence among the blood elves, and can even influence the decision-making of the entire blood elf tribe.
Beatrice knows clearly who is more valuable between Ijeta and Vina.
As for Ijeta and Heloise, they are just two abandoned children, and they can be disposed of after they are used... This is also the meaning of the entire snow woman and blood elf tribe.
After all, the appearance of two captives in their own tribe is also a shame for the tribe. Only when these two women die completely, this shame will disappear.
...
On the other side.
Inside the imperial city.
Civilian area.
A large number of figures in black robes gathered together.
There are figures around the round table. Under the dim kerosene lamp, pale and angry faces can be seen. If you look closely, you can find that almost all of them are nobles.
Moreover, they are the few high-ranking nobles left in the empire.
The nobles who used to have great influence and could easily shake the situation in the empire are now only a circle of 10 or 20.
For these nobles, the civilian area is a place they would never set foot in under normal circumstances, which would make them feel that their honor has been tarnished.
But now they have nowhere else to go. In recent times, the noble class has suffered an unprecedented blow.
I don’t know how many spies that guy Wordsworth has planted in the noble area. Once Wordsworth catches even the slightest handle, the guards directly under Wordsworth will immediately appear at your doorstep and arrest you without saying a word.
Perhaps the initial cause was just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, such as seizing the property of civilians or killing a few civilians, but Wordsworth, this hateful bastard, would use these trivial matters as an excuse to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the captured nobles, and this investigation would immediately reveal a lot of dirty things.
To put it bluntly, how many nobles are clean?
Who is not full of filth behind the scenes, killing people, setting fires, and embezzling imperial assets...
Once Wordsworth catches this handle, the guillotine is ready for you.
In the past few months, hundreds of nobles have been executed.
Nobles were beheaded almost every day, and the execution ground had never been as lively as it was during this period.
Who could have thought that the emperor, who had been trying to maintain the balance between the royal family and the aristocracy, would suddenly go crazy. A large number of nobles were terrified, and they didn't even dare to say a word unless it was necessary, for fear that they would be targeted by the emperor and the next unlucky person to lose their heads.
However, these nobles were used to being arrogant on weekdays. Who could endure such humiliation, and they definitely didn't want to die for no reason.
It was under this oppression that a large number of nobles gathered together to discuss some things that must not be known by Wordsworth, because the noble district was full of the emperor's spies. They didn't dare to gather in the noble district, and could only arrange the venue in this civilian area that they would never approach on weekdays.
At the gathering, it seemed that they thought that this place would not be monitored by Wordsworth. These nobles almost unscrupulously vented the pressure in their chests, and all kinds of dirty and filthy abuse, even curses, were constantly spewing out from the mouths of these upper-class people who usually claimed to be noble and elegant.
After a long time, the matter finally came to the point, that is, how to overthrow Wordsworth's rule.
Until this time, the noisy voices around suddenly subsided. The aristocracy held powerful power in their hands. Every aristocrat had trained a group of private soldiers, and they could show off their power in front of civilians.
However, compared with the emperor who controlled the entire imperial army, these private soldiers were not worth mentioning at all.
"How about we find a brave man?" A nobleman suddenly asked.
As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes lit up.
This seems to be a good idea. The strength of the brave man is still very good, and a powerful force has gathered around the brave man. Now Qin Chu is also the pope of the Holy See, and he controls all the power of the Holy See and the original Mother Earth Cult.
If the brave man can be won over to his side, there will be more guarantees to overthrow Wordsworth's rule.
Just when a group of nobles were dreaming of a bright future in which they would regain wealth and power after getting the help of the brave and overthrowing Wordsworth with the help of the church, a noble suddenly poured cold water on them: "But, why should the brave help us?"
"He is a brave, isn't it natural for him to help us?"
"Yes, the brave is supposed to protect the people of the Sky Continent. Now that Wordsworth is so cruel, he should take the initiative to stand up as a brave."
"Otherwise, what qualifications does he have to continue to be a brave?"
"Don't forget, he only He is a foreigner from another world. Without the title of a hero, he is nothing... As long as all of us nobles do not recognize him as a hero, the glory, status, and power he enjoys now will certainly disappear, and maybe even the church will kick him out. "
"A person who has lost the title of a hero has no value to the church."
"Doesn't the hero like women? If it doesn't work, just snatch a few beautiful women from the civilian area for him."
A group of nobles were arguing here, as if they had already tied the hero firmly to their chariot.
Although some nobles frowned, obviously knowing that the situation would never go smoothly, it was really difficult to say more under the current situation of everyone's enthusiasm.
If it weren't for the fight against the emperor, it would require the gathering of all the nobles' strength, and I really didn't want to cooperate with such a group of pig teammates.
There were even more stupid trash who suggested that the civilians could be mobilized. Although the civilians were all stupid garbage, they were too many in number. If all the civilians could be mobilized to resist the rule of the brutal Wordsworth, it would be another powerful bargaining chip. After all, these civilians did not dare to resist the nobles at all.
The few nobles who had a bit of brains sighed helplessly at the proposals of these stupid companions. It just so happened that this group of stupid trash was also the loudest, and all the voices of doubt were covered.
Don't these rubbish know the current situation?
Don't they understand that compared with the royal family, the common people hate the nobles more... After all, the royal family lives in the palace and rarely comes into contact with the common people, but the nobles are different. Conflicts between the nobles and the common people occur almost every day.
The number of common people who died at the hands of the nobles was hundreds of times that of those who died at the hands of the royal family.
The worst thing is that the cunning guy Wordsworth has executed a large number of nobles in recent times, which directly led to Wordsworth being an incurable madman in the eyes of the nobles, but unprecedentedly wise in the eyes of the common people.
Moreover, Wordsworth allowed the common people to break into the noble area and plunder the homes of the executed nobles. All these things have deepened Wordsworth's reputation in the hearts of the common people.
In this case, it is almost impossible to provoke the common people to fight against Wordsworth.
Moreover, if the common people dare not rebel against the nobles, do they have the courage to rebel against the royal family?
Watching the meeting, more than half of the nobles were discussing excitedly, as if they had already won the game and had the advantage. They even began to discuss arranging people to persuade the brave man tomorrow.
The remaining nobles looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. These old foxes felt more and more that if they cooperated with this group of idiots, they might capsize if they were not careful.
Almost at the same time, Wordsworth called all his children to the palace. Except for Carol who stayed in the palace of the brave, all the others arrived.
During this period, not only the nobles lived in fear, but also the princes and princesses. Almost everyone was terrified every day, fearing that they would accidentally anger their father somewhere.
Now the father killed several sons and daughters, and no one would doubt it.
Now they were suddenly summoned by the father, and their faces turned pale and trembled with fear.
What made these princes and princesses feel strange was that this time the father did not get angry like before, but issued an order without accepting any rebuttal, directly arranging all the princes and princesses to the front line against monsters and become a member of the army.
...
The next day.
Qin Chu finally returned.
Da Saya and Xiao Saya, who had been guarding in the bedroom, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were quite curious about where Qin Chu had gone and why he had become so weak, but neither of the two women said anything, and just told Qin Chu to be as careful as possible.
In the palace, Antasia was ready.
She wanted to return to the Principality of Ice immediately. Just yesterday, she received a message from her mother. Although her mother told her in the message magic that everything was fine in the Principality of Ice, she didn't need to go back.
But from her mother's voice, Antasia could feel that her mother was bearing terrible pressure and suffering on her shoulders. The situation in the Principality of Ice must be many times worse than what her mother said.
Not letting her go back, perhaps it was just that her mother didn't want her and the entire principality to be buried in the ice.
The more this happened, the more Antasia worried about the situation in the Principality of Ice.
In the palace, Qin Chu also called everyone to arrange work.
Ekaterina, Sylph and Athena continued to stay in the palace, responsible for the situation on Rossweisse's side. This woman seemed to have entered the Endless Sea recently. It was unknown whether she died in the Endless Sea or was affected by the mysterious power of the Endless Sea. Athena could not even contact her.
Carol had been frowning. Although she had been living in the palace of the brave during this period, the princess was also very clear about what happened in the palace. The conflict between the nobles and the royal family had become more and more acute and fierce.
Perhaps it would not take long before the impact of the internal strife of the Holy See could not be quelled, and the civil war between the nobles and the royal family would also break out.
Carlos did not want to see this scene, but there was no way to stop it.
"Violet, Norma, you stay here too. Veronica of the Holy See may still need support." Qin Chu said after thinking for a while.
Violet and Norma both nodded, and had no objection to Qin Chu's arrangement. Violet and Norma were both very powerful, especially Violet. Together with Phil from the Mother Earth Church, there were two super masters in the imperial city, so even if something abnormal happened, they could handle it.
"Antia, Heloise, Ieta, and... Angelica, the four of you and Antasia will come with me to the Principality of Ice."
As for the matter of the big and small Saya, Qin Chu had already arranged it.
These two dark witches were the last guarantee, and they didn't need to take action unless it was absolutely necessary.
Angelica's little face was full of blushes, and she was very happy. This was the first time in such a long time that the master took her out.
After carefully instructing some things, Qin Chu took the five girls away.
When they just arrived at the gate, they suddenly found a luxurious carriage parked in front of the door, and a short and fat man in gorgeous clothes was getting off the carriage.
Although the atmosphere in the imperial city has been tense and the situation has been delicate recently, this nobleman is still unwilling to lose his dignity as an upper-class person. Dignity and elegance are indispensable.
Holding a gilded cane, wearing a top hat, and even hanging a monocle on his nose.
Seeing Qin Chu appear, the man's face suddenly showed some smiles. He took off the hat on his head with one hand and placed it between his chest and abdomen. His fat body bent slightly. This was a very difficult action for him: "Ah, respected brave man, I haven't seen you for many days. You are still as elegant and majestic as ever."
Qin Chu thought desperately in his mind, and it took several seconds for him to react. He also showed a professional smile on his face: "Ah, it turns out to be Viscount Bol... You are still as plump as ever."
Just a little viscount. If it weren't for the ball-like figure, Qin Chu might really not remember it.
The smile on Bol's face became more and more intense. Although they had only met once, the brave man still remembered him. This is the weight of being a viscount.
What a bunch of losers. They clearly hope to get the support of the hero, but no one is willing to come and discuss this matter with the hero. Don't those idiots understand that whoever accepts this task will become a bridge between the hero and the aristocracy?
After overthrowing Wordsworth in the future, it will also be a great achievement and an inevitable benefit.
I really don't know how those losers became earls, marquises, or even dukes.
He glanced at the women behind Qin Chu with a slightly arrogant look... They are really a group of ignorant female monkeys. They didn't even know how to greet the noble Viscount.
There are even two dirty monsters among them.
If it weren't for the hero, they would have to bear the whipping for such rude behavior.
However, for the sake of the hero, he didn't bother with these stupid women. Viscount Bol is very smart.
Having said that, these women are really beautiful.
The hero's life is really wonderful. How great it would be if I could enjoy it like this?
As if sensing Viscount Bol's rude look, the girls frowned instantly, and some displeasure appeared on their faces.
"Ahem..." At this moment, Bol cleared his throat and glanced at the women again with a proud look: "Sir, can you let these women leave? I have something important to discuss with you."
