Chapter 471 An Unexpected Discovery

Duanmu Huai had no intention of hiding this matter. In fact, after returning, he immediately told everyone about it.

Because Duanmu Huai knew very well that many things could not be covered up. Sometimes, admitting reality is more important than anything else. In fact, most defeats start from not being able to admit reality.

For now, there is indeed a problem in the Royal City. Fortunately, the Second Legion has no problem. After leaving the Royal City, everyone went to the border between Hermann and the Demon Realm, where everything was in order and normal. The general of the Second Legion also met with them. When the other party learned that something big had happened in the Royal City, the surprise and astonishment did not seem to be false.

In other words, what happened in the Royal City was not known by the Tribunal and the Royalist Army, nor by the Second Legion.

Now no one knows what is going on inside.

"From the perspective of magic, I think if so many corpses are used, it must be a very terrible ritual or magic..."

An and Gu Leiya studied for a while and finally gave this answer. Unfortunately, even Shizuka could not accurately answer Duanmu Huai's question whether there is magic in this world that requires so many corpses.

But anyway, An's idea is correct.

No matter what the Council wants to do, using so many corpses is a problem in itself.

"The soldiers are getting a little anxious now."

Uruze is more concerned about another issue.

Although they have recruited a lot of soldiers on the spot, many families of the soldiers of the First, Fourth and Fifth Legions live in the Royal City. Now that they heard that something happened in the Royal City, they also hope to go back and see if they know the whereabouts of their families.

"Should we change the plan?"

"The original plan remains unchanged. Reorganize those people into a unit and go to the Royal City with the Fourth Legion and the Tribunal. The others continue to be responsible for the current work."

Duanmu Huai shook his head. At present, the number of the Fourth Legion is close to 100,000, second only to the Second Legion. The First and Fifth Legions standing on their side directly dispelled the resistance of other cities. In fact, what they have to face now is only the dying struggle of the Council. Except for them, no one else wants to fight the Fourth Legion to the end.

In this case, the Fourth Legion already has enough power to deal with those villains.

In this case, the Tribunal should also take action next.

The news of the Royal City spread throughout the Royalist Army, and the Royal Guards naturally knew the news.

"Is this true, Captain?"

Lucian, who had learned the news, almost rushed to Qilti and asked.

"Ah? Well... Yes, we have investigated the Royal City. At least for now, the Royal City has indeed been attacked, but the bodies are missing..."

"How could it be... "

"What's wrong? Lucian?"

Looking at Lucian's horrified face, Qilti looked at her in confusion. Having said that, she had not forgotten that she had suspected that Lucian was a Herman noble lady. At present, could it be that her home was in Herman Royal City? If so, it would make sense...

"……………………"

Faced with Qilti's question, Lucian did not answer. She hesitated for a moment and then looked at Qilti.

"Miss Qierti, I want to talk to the judge, can I? I have something very important to tell him!"

"………………"

Hearing this, Qierti looked at Lucian carefully and nodded.

"Of course no problem."

After that, Qierti brought Lucian to the command room. It happened that everyone was there. Seeing Qierti bringing Lucian here, they didn't pay much attention until Qierti spoke.

"Judge, this Miss Lucian said she has something very important to tell you."

"Oh?"

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at Qierti and Lucian beside her. Facing Duanmu Huai's gaze, Lucian trembled, but still stood there straight.

"What's the matter?"

Duanmu Huai stared at Lucian and asked. The latter hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Before that, I want to remove the transformation magic on me... Is that okay?"

"Of course, who will do it?"

Duanmu Huai was not surprised that Lucian said that he used transformation magic. After all, Qierti had told him about his suspicion of Lucian a long time ago. He looked like a commoner, but he was wearing high-end underwear, and his skin was delicate and smooth, not like a weathered farmer's son. At that time, Qierti suspected that Lucian might have used transformation magic.

Now it seems that Qierti's observation ability is still very good.

"Let me do it."

Although she became smaller, Shizuka's magic power did not diminish, and her mind was still there.

How did that sentence go--although she became a child, her mind was still bright, this is the famous detective......Ahem, I don't want to play anymore.

Of course Zhijinxiang didn't know what Duanmuhuai was thinking. She walked up to Luxian and stretched out her hand. Soon, a ray of magical light enveloped Lucian's body. Then, in full view of everyone, Lucian gradually began to change. The ribbon binding her hair was loosened, and her hair spread downwards, with long, dark hair. The hair shone with golden light. At the same time, the girl's originally light brown skin began to become as white and delicate as porcelain, and her pair of gray eyes also showed a dazzling emerald green brilliance like gems.

"Hey...ahhhhhh?!!"

Seeing this scene at this moment, not only Kriolev's eyes widened in surprise, but Rolex also opened his mouth in surprise, pointing at Lucian and being speechless. Even Krim was stunned at this time. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him.

"Emperor...Your Majesty?!"

The light of magic dissipated, and what appeared in front of everyone again at this moment was no longer the slave girl before, but a girl with bright blond hair, green eyes, and a luxurious and beautiful face.

She let out a long breath, then looked at Duanmuhuai and lifted up her skirt.

"Hello, Mr. Judge, this is the first time we meet. I am very sorry that I have concealed my identity from you all this time. I am the Emperor of the Kingdom of Herman - Sheila Herman."

"………………………………………………"

At this moment, everyone present was stunned.

This slave girl is actually...the emperor? ! !

In fact, even Qildi, who had long been suspicious of Sheila, was stunned and speechless at the moment. At most, she thought that this girl was probably the eldest daughter of a certain noble in Herman, but she did not expect that She could actually be...emperor?

Good guy, the emperor infiltrated King Qin's army, and there is still such an operation? !

"Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor!!"

Krim fell to his knees directly, too frightened to speak.

"This is really surprising."

In comparison, Duanmu Huai was only slightly surprised.

"But now that you've revealed your identity to me, you're obviously not here to say hello, right? Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, it is."

Lucian——No, Emperor Sheila nodded vigorously.

"In fact, there is a reason why I fled the royal city..."

Then, Sheila told everyone the reason why she fled the royal city.

According to Sheila, Stither came to her room one day and proudly told her that he had gained enough power to conquer the entire world. At the same time, he also took out a box, saying that the box was the key. As long as it can be activated, it can activate a powerful power that no one can match. By that time, the entire world will be in Herman's bag, and he will also become the king of the world!

Sheila was horrified when she learned about this. In the end, she made a risky decision, that is, to steal the key and leave the royal city! Then send the key to the headquarters of the AL Church. Although Sheila didn't know what it was, since Stisser expressed that he wanted to use it to rule the world, the best way was to send it to the AL Church.

Fortunately, her maid was willing to assist her and found her a transformation potion, which the two drank and transformed. Sheila turned into the appearance of the maid, and the maid turned into the appearance of Sheila. Then Sheila followed the maid's instructions and secretly left the royal city with the box.

"Then how did you become a slave??"

Duanmuhuai couldn't figure out how a majestic emperor could become a slave, while Sheila lowered her head dejectedly. According to her statement, she followed the maid's words and went to a village on the border to find the person the maid said. At that time, the maid told her that as long as she found this person, he would be able to send Sheila to the AL Church.

It turned out that that person turned out to be a slave trader... Well, judging from this, Sheila was probably tricked by her maid.

"So do you know what Stisser's talking about?"

"I don't know that."

Sheila shook her head.

"Stither was very discreet and didn't tell me anything about it."

"So, after you heard about what happened in the royal city, you thought this was the trump card that Stisser was talking about?"

"Yes."

While talking, Silla took out a box and handed it to Duanmu Huai.

"This is the key."

"It just looks like an empty box."

Duanmuhuai took the box and shook it again and again. Well, there was nothing in it. It was empty.

"That's what I said at first, but Stisser said there's a big secret hidden inside..."

"It's a secret..."

Duanmuhuai looked at the box.

"That's easy."

"Simple?"

"Yes, since this thing is a key, then...just destroy it!!"

As he spoke, black flames burst out from Duanmu Huai's hand, and then he grabbed it hard with his palm. The next moment, the box suddenly shattered, and with a sharp wailing, everyone saw a humanoid thing flying out of it. And out——then he was swallowed up by the black flames and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Well, it looks like a soul is sealed inside. As for whose soul it is...it's already dead, so there's no point in talking about it."

"Well…………………"

Seeing this scene, Xila was completely speechless.

Duanmu Huai clapped his hands, shook off the dust on his hands, and then looked at Xila.

"Then your Majesty, since you are here, why don't you just come with us."
