Chapter 1682 The Lackey Cooks

The attempted murder of the Dwarf King was indeed a wake-up call, forcing people to be cautious.

The old Duke knew very little about this. He looked confused and asked: "What is the attempted murder of the Dwarf King you are talking about?"

Although family ugliness should not be publicized, it still depends on the situation. At the moment, the issue of mixed-race children is indeed a bit tricky. If we can't talk openly and openly, I'm afraid there will be changes.

After hearing the dwarves' "family scandal", the old Duke couldn't help but take a breath.

Not to mention the dwarves, how many young children of the orc tribe grew up in foreign countries, and how many of these people who grew up in foreign countries are secret agents with missions?

The old Duke sighed secretly: "It would be great if I could know about this 'family scandal' earlier. I will definitely report it to Your Majesty and ask him to thoroughly investigate the foreign tribesmen in advance and record it for the record. But now I think about it." It is a bit late to conduct a thorough investigation and filing, and even if we really intend to implement it, it will be a huge and despairing project!"

Seeing his solemn expression, I comforted him and said, "You don't have to be so anxious, old man. The orcs are open-minded by nature and love freedom, so they may not be willing to bow down and become other people's slaves."

"Aren't the dwarves not open-minded enough by nature?" The old Duke asked, "Or is it that the dwarves don't have a strong sense of loyalty in their bones?"

"this"

The old Duke's words were really difficult for me to deal with.

There is no doubt that the dwarves are open-minded by nature, and there is no doubt that the blood of loyal kings flows in their bones.

But there happened to be a traitor like Walker, who not only almost murdered the Dwarf King, but also put Princess Aurora in danger.

This thing is like a fly mixed in the rice or a maggot swimming in the soup. It makes people feel sick just thinking about it.

I pondered for a moment and said: "In short, before something happens, just pretend that this kind of thing will never happen, otherwise it will probably become a demon, making it difficult to sleep at night, tasteless food, and extremely painful. What's more, it will affect your foresight and become a stumbling block for you to promote the development of Dashai City."

The old Duke frowned and said in a deep voice: "What you said is not unreasonable. Instead of worrying about things that have not happened yet, it is more reliable to start working on the things in front of you."

"exactly."

After that, we discussed for a long time and finally reached a preliminary consensus on the mixed-race child - if we can steal it, we should steal it and try to ensure that mother and child are reunited.

But the next afternoon, after returning home, I revised three copies of the book and sent them to Master Dewey, the Fairy Queen and the Orc King respectively.

In the evening of that day, I received a call from Master Dewey and the Fairy Queen. The general idea was clear - eradicate the root cause without leaving any harm behind.

Late that night, a secret messenger came to visit me and invited me into the palace. I came to an inconspicuous wall, knocked on it a few times, and with a creak, a secret door opened.

Stepping in, the Beastman King was sitting upright, with the same hearty smile as usual on his face.

"Your Majesty" I bowed.

"No courtesy." The Beastman King pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down and talk."

After sitting down, the Orc King got straight to the point and said: "I have read your letter. Now I want to ask you, what is the reaction of Fort Vicky and Moonlight City?"

After a second of silence, I said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not answering."

The Beastman King had a straight face and said seriously: "Do you know what your identity is?"

"I know." I said calmly without any hesitation: "The prime minister of Dasai City."

The Beastman King said coldly: "So you still know. Since you are my prime minister, why do you still hide it from me?"

"Because I am not only your prime minister, but also a foreign elder of Moonlight City and the adopted son of Master Dewey."

"Hmph, what's the harm in telling me about this?" The Beastman King said disdainfully: "As long as I don't tell you, and you don't tell me, who else will know?"

I pointed to the sky, then to the ground, then to my heart, and said calmly: "You can't hide it from the sky, you can't hide it from the earth, and you can't hide it from my conscience."

The Beastman King stared at me fiercely, with all his power, and the surging pressure made it hard for me to breathe for a while.

But this feeling of oppression is completely different from that of a nine-headed dragon, and it cannot shake me at all.

After a while, the power suddenly relaxed, and the orc king laughed and said: "You are not even afraid of my majesty, but I really have you."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

"Forget it, I won't mess around with you anymore." The Beastman King leaned back and said lazily, "I was joking with you just now. I wanted to see if you can keep the secret."

"Secret?" I asked in confusion: "Does Your Majesty want to tell me some palace secrets? Or is he going to give me some task that is not suitable for the public?"

"The latter," the orc king said, "just listen to me."

He breathed lightly and said: "I, the Beastman King, have always been a shining gentleman in front of the people, a benevolent and righteous king in the hearts of the people. It is precisely because of this status that I sometimes have to do things that go against my heart, so I will submit it to you. As for the secret letter that came up, if I make the above content public, I will definitely win the praise of a group of people. Maybe you will also become famous in Zefeng Continent and become a gentleman among the people. But in fact, in my heart I am very resistant to this approach, and I tell you from the bottom of my heart that I don’t trust mixed-race people who grew up in other countries, just like I didn’t trust you at first.”

Leaning slightly, he continued: "But after passing each thing you did, I slowly got to know you, and slowly decided to trust you. Until today, I summoned you to this secret room and had a heart-to-heart talk with you. This The process took me a lot of time, but fortunately, it was worth it." The Orc King's face suddenly sank, and he said: "But those hybrids may not be worth getting to know, especially when I know that they are very likely to After it would become a factor that hinders the development of Dashai City, I made a decision, a decision that is not in line with my glorious image!"

The orc king had a strong murderous intention and said coldly: "Xiao Yi, kill them for me, leaving no one alive."

"Okay" I nodded.

"I can lend you my assassination force," the orc king said, "until this matter is completed, they will all obey your orders."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty," I said calmly with a sinking face.

"Huh?" The Beastman King was quite surprised and said, "Don't you feel happy?"

I thought about it and asked, "Should I be happy?"

"Shouldn't it be right?" said the orc king: "What you are performing now is the special task I assigned you. This is an absolute honor."

"I don't think this is something to be happy about" I shook my head.

"Do you think taking the lives of those innocent children is a cruel thing?" the Beastman King asked.

"No." I shook my head again and said, "I just feel a little uneasy. Although Your Majesty is a wise king, I still understand the principle of killing birds and hiding good bows, cunning rabbits and lackeys, especially when carrying out some tasks." In order to preserve the honor of the king, tainted secret missions will often cook us lackeys."
