Chapter 435 The Fool

When Dragon Realm fell into a fiery predicament, the ancient capital of Bayer King, which had gone through countless years, fell into silence, or, it should be said, a kind of artificial purge.

Different from the silence in the past, after the defeat on the Eastern Front, the royal knights of the capital took action and imposed martial law and a curfew on the entire city. The good man's "Scorpion Emperor" Oros XIII once again let the world see his viciousness.

"Helente will become a new generation of emperors."

When the Eastern Front was defeated and the wind and rain were swaying, the old emperor withstood all the pressure and reiterated his opinion to the people of the country and the great lords.

Oppose in person? kill.

Behind the scenes? kill.

The prince colluded with the fief lord? kill.

Just complaining to servants, relatives and friends in your own mansion? Same, kill.

The old emperor who always had a smile on his face, the kind old man who could laugh even when he was assassinated, was just drinking tea in his study, laughing and saying "kill" one by one, while being equally crazy The royal knights also carried out killing missions one by one in silence, even if it was hanging children under ten years old on the city wall, even if it would crush the knight's honor and chivalry under their feet.

"Anyone who doubts Helen's succession, regardless of status, regardless of age≦, ww↖w. age, regardless of merit, will be killed without mercy."

This was the will of the old emperor, and the royal knights silently carried out this will, even though the Bayer people could not understand the sudden madness of the old emperor, and could not look directly at the sudden killing. Especially Proton, the great lord who was slaughtered recently due to collusion with the prince. The great nobles on the border have been plunged into rage.

Seeing this go on. If the jihadist coalition forces and the undead empire do not come to fight, Bayer will go into civil strife first. What was the wise old emperor doing in the past? Is he destroying the empire he's built over his lifetime?

Even standing beside Helente, the always neutral dragon knight couldn't understand the old emperor's sudden madness, but he couldn't stop it due to the loyalty of chivalry, but everyone knew that this was not normal. It can't last long either.

I'm afraid that even if this continues, even if Helen succeeds to the throne, as long as the old emperor falls, the backlash and revenge caused by the frenzied killing and oppression will also bring him a disastrous end.

The fall of Miracle Hand, while making the world amazed, sad, and helpless, also helped Helen and Bayer a big favor.

The jihadi coalition forces, which were becoming a deteriorating cancer, were stopped, and the irresistible will of the God of Light was stopped. Even if it was only for a short moment, Estrada won the victory of the mortals with his own sacrifice. Baier also lost the imminent threat of a sharp sword.

"...The old emperor should calm down in this way."

But some things exceeded everyone's expectations. The old emperor not only did not stop, but intensified.

Taking advantage of the crisis to drive up prices and hoard? kill.

Those who are closely related to the enfeoffed nobles, are they related? kill.

Didn't do anything, but someone with a high position and weight, who might have an influence on Helen's succession in the future? kill.

Looking at those old emperors whose adoptive sons had been fighting each other for twenty years with benevolent eyes, he still said the word "kill" with a smile, watching the blood flow into rivers in the imperial capital.

Even after the other party involved in the incident, Helent, ran over to quarrel with him, he still didn't change much, but Helent himself stayed behind closed doors.

"...If the future Bayer wants to survive, Helen can only inherit the throne. As for how he came up, it doesn't matter at all. As for myself...hehe, just wait and see."

In the entire country, only a few people can approach Oros' study and listen to him slowly expressing his thoughts.

At this time, the old emperor was listening to the report of the spy leader and the knight commander.

"... Judging from the information collected by our spies, Duke Cafee and Earl Berland have suspended the action of integrating private soldiers because they can't figure out your current purpose. The primary goal, but some things are no different from what we predicted in the past, as long as you ... you 'leave', they will definitely rebel, and now it's just a pause."

"Oh, those old guys. Forget it, what's the daily trade situation in the country. Are the prices still around double?"

"Very good. After a batch of those profiteers died, they are now much more stable. They have dropped from twenty-five times the peak to three times. In addition to your high-pressure policy and His Royal Highness Hailunte's personal letter Promise, most of them have secretly pledged their allegiance to His Highness, as long as the minions are pulled out, what can the merchants who have no status to do, at least there will be no problem in a short period of time."

"My other boys who are not up to date?"

"All those who might pose a threat have been executed, and the rest have announced that they have terminated their relationship with the Bayer royal family. All the princes are under surveillance. But corresponding to this is your reputation... Some people have already called you Baier dragon."

"White Dragon?"

"...the white dragon that eats children."

Oros nodded but didn't ask any further questions, didn't even look at the information, just bowed his head and drank his tea. For him who had already abandoned everything, this kind of lying was nothing to him, and what he was about to do next would be even more excessive , maybe, I will become the number one tyrant and idiot in Bayer's history, but for the sake of the "big plan", the incomprehension and slander of outsiders is nothing.

The old man just closed his eyes slowly, and didn't ask any more questions. The others retreated knowingly, and when the study fell into silence again, the three people in the secret room came out. In a sense, this The three are now the core layer of the entire Bayer.

Pope Emoye I of the Southern Church had also served as Bayer's court chief. He was Oros' brother who shared life and death, and he was also his most trusted object. However, what he had in his hands was the entire southern sect and Bayer's religious forces.

"……Thanks for your hard work."

"Hehe, it's already better than expected, the church still troubles you. There is a sacrifice by the hand of miracles.

At this time, the old Pope Emmoyer was also exhausted. The debut battle that the Southern sect gave high hopes before suffered a head-on blow, and if it weren't for Estrada's sacrifice to stabilize the hearts of the people, I am afraid that the Southern sect will have big problems.

Another old mage wearing a purple violet cloak is called "The Fool". He is also the president of the Bayer Wizards Guild, but he was very low-key in the past, and few people saw his true face. At this time, he also showed his true face, but he was nothing special like a silver-haired old man, but if the heresy inquisitors of the Holy Church saw it, I am afraid that all the mad dogs would be mobilized.

But if Roland was here, I'm afraid there would be a lot of room for communication with him. Yes, he is Thrace, the mad mage Thrace, the fool who "knows too much and speaks out".

"The Mage Guild, and the communication with the Mage Kingdom. I'm afraid you will have to worry about it. We will let you break your oath and come back. And..."

"I know, needless to say, some things are destined to be inevitable, since you are all going to gamble, how can the old man back down. It's just...it's a pity, Estrada back then forced When I swore to return to hermitage, I never thought that this day would come."

The old mage, who was regarded as a lunatic, had neat and shiny silver hair all over his head, and his gorgeous robes were even more neat and straight among the mages. At this moment, Thrace shook his head, his face full of unbearable, when he thought of how his old friend would end up like this.

"What a pity, what a pity, what a pity."

In the end, he could only make such an evaluation.

"Teacher, I'm so sorry, we're all on the same path. In a sense, he just took a step ahead. This should be something to be happy about..."

Perhaps not many people know that Oros studied in the Cloud Tower when he was young, and even with the help of caring people, he became a disciple of the reclusive teacher Thrace at that time.

"...His Majesty Oros."

And the last person approached, but it was not a Bayer person at all, but...

"Time is up."

On Lilith Milan's arm, the original dazzling brilliance of the emerald has begun to dissipate, and the cracks gradually expand on it. Soon, this twin cat's eye green worth ten thousand gold will become a worthless residue .

And this twin pair of special magical gems processed by gemology, one of them is destroyed and the other is also destroyed. This kind of causal connection can break through all blockades. It is an extremely rare and precious communication device. The finished product At least a large amount of gold coins needed to form half of the knight order, and being able to use such a one-time communication device is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the immediate incident.

And when the emerald in front of him turned into waste, there was only one possibility. Roland in the dragon world crushed another gem, and the whole "big plan" would be started by Oros in front of him.

At this time, Lilith Milan was not only the spokesperson of Roland and the Church of the Law, but the familiar gorgeous court ladies' attire and royal emblem undoubtedly showed the fact that she had returned to the Bayer royal family!

"Lilith... Sister, I'm sorry to trouble you. Before Helente really matures, as the only pure royal family currently in the Bayer royal family, please take the post of regent temporarily."

Lilith Milan... No, it should be said that Princess Lilith and Prince Regent nodded her head. If possible, she didn't want to get into this trouble at all, but the person in front of her persuaded her with her ideas and sacrifices. She, let her feel that at this point in time, if she can't do anything, she might be sorry for her deceased relatives.

Looking around, the old emperor sighed. He knew that this might be the last day he saw this study and his friends.

"...Unexpectedly, after enduring it all my life, I still have to endure it in the end. You say, I am not a qualified emperor."

"Of course, my lord. Without you, there would be no Baier now. Maybe the night will be very long, and maybe countless mad dogs will come out to bite your corpse, but dark clouds can't cover the sun forever. In the end, your wise reputation will re-spread across the land."

The old pope, the old butler in the past bowed slightly, but there were tears in his squinted old eyes.

"Oros, why bother with the opinions of those fools, I am always proud of you, old man."

Thrace, who was not good at words, paused, and nodded in an affirmative tone.

"I know you don't care about these false names, but I do think you are amazing, even more amazing than me."

Being able to get the affirmation of his mentor and old friends, the old emperor smiled gratifiedly. Maybe the world will not be able to understand his choice, but it is enough to have a confidant in life, and it is not enough to have the understanding of these two relatives.

"... Enough is enough, for the sake of the mortal world, let me destroy all the gates of the Dragon Realm."

The gate of the Dragon Realm? Yes, the gate leading to the Dragon Realm, if all the gates and dimensional coordinates leading to a different plane are lost, that alien plane will also lose its trace in the eyes of the main plane, and all the gates of the Dragon Realm will be destroyed. The gate also means that the Dragon Clan will lose their three major gathering places, and it also means that the entire main plane will lose its connection with that alien plane.

This is simply impossible on an ordinary plane. After all, there are so many scattered connections, but in order to control this plane, the Dragon Clan has also maintained all the gates and teleportation points, and that All three teleportation points are in Bayer's country! Even guarded by Dragon Knights and Dragon Clan... Yes, Yi Wenli is one of the guards, and also the strongest guard, but obviously, the Dragon Clan chose the wrong person.

It takes a lot of time to re-establish a connection with another plane, at least two or three years, but the recovery of the Titans is imminent. Once the dragons lose their reinforcements, it means that all the dragons living in the dragon world will face death. The dragon clan expected that the wrath of the giant dragon would inevitably come, and the reason for choosing Helente as the next emperor may be far simpler than expected, just because he may be accepted by the dragon clan and keep the country because of his half-dragon blood.

As for the person who committed such an incomprehensible crime, he will naturally become the target of the Dragon Clan's revenge, and even because of "Roland and the Absolute Gentlemen's Alliance Mercenary Group who fell into it", the northern countries will turn against Bayer, and the most dangerous However, the Dragon Clan is under the anger of being betrayed. If they are not willing to just vent their hatred with Oros, then the entire Bayer may usher in the doomsday of destruction.

But at the risk of imminent destruction, Bayer and Oros will not get any benefit from doing such evil deeds. On the contrary, the Dragon Clan, who were originally allies, will become sworn enemies. The original allies, the northern countries, at least on the bright side Will become a "mortal enemy", then, what is he doing. Just to make the Dragon Realm a hunting ground for the Titans and let Bayer get rid of this time bomb? How stupid and short-sighted this is, Oros will be the stupidest emperor ever.

"A fool? Oh, it's really appropriate, teacher, maybe I will become a 'fool king' in the future."

"No, others think I'm a wise man. I just want to remind myself that I'm just a fool who thinks he's smart. But you, because you see too clearly and see too far, are about to be regarded as stupid by a fool. It's a testament to your wisdom."

Perhaps, for those with a heart, letting a stupid conspiracy fail in the sun and letting oneself be hanged on the gallows is just to hide a more hidden conspiracy.

"A world of mortals, unfortunately, I don't have the possibility to see him with my own eyes."

Oros, who was whispering, couldn't help but think of the in-depth conversation with Roland some time ago. At that time, the old emperor said so.

"Roland, in fact, I have always liked your sentence in the teachings of the Southern sect, 'This world belongs to mortals, and those high gods are just hypocritical fanatics'"

When one party stated their position and opened their hearts, the communication between the two parties became much easier. Even Roland himself was surprised by the other party's abilities and goals, and immediately concluded a blood covenant with him.

And after all night of secret talks, Oros handed over the plan that he had prepared for more than ten years to Roland, but Roland improved it again on top of his plan, and finally came up with the so-called "big plan".

"Is it a big plan? As expected of Bayer's strongest conspirator in the past three hundred years, I really dare to think about it. But if this plan is really successful, I'm afraid it's not wrong to call him the wisest king in the past thousand years."

This was Roland's evaluation of Oros at that time. At this time, I don't know if there is the most wise king in the millennium, but Oros, who ruined his reputation step by step and handed his neck to the guillotine, did not hesitate. No regrets, no cowardice to put yourself on the gallows.

"... everything, for the mortal world, everything, for the real... heaven and hell!"
