For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 172 Ice Dragon Duke

   "The mission of the Empire once assassinated the previous Continent Lord here?"

  The ivory-white door closed slowly and automatically behind him, William asked in disbelief.

   "Is there such a thing?"

  Although assassination has never been absent from any historical era as an extremely important political means. But assassination in the name of a mission is a taboo in almost all civilizations.

At this point, whether it is the local human civilization in the Vic continent, or the elves and their derived branches, even the masters who fled from the Ossis continent to the Quicksand Province, and the barbarians who believe in power in the Daemon continent, In the development of different environments, they have reached a very amazing agreement - turning their faces and committing assassination and beheading during the negotiation process is the most despicable and shameless behavior, and it will be written in the history books and bear thousands of infamy, and even to a certain extent. A sinful act that undermines the legitimacy of government.

   This is not difficult to understand, because of the existence of supernatural forces, the combat power that some individuals in this world can possess can even be a single army. Therefore, when the diplomatic mission is invited to the center of power to negotiate, if the tacit understanding of mutual defense cannot be maintained, then there will never be a possibility of peace talks between countries.

  In the history, there are only a handful of assassinations through missions, and there is no assassination that did not kick off the long-term turbulent era in later generations.

   It takes a moment to break a trust, but it takes too long to rebuild it.

  Forgetting is always harder than remembering.

   "Have the people of your empire never written down this good deed you did?"

  Multon walked ahead and asked without looking back.

  William recalled the brief history of the Rael Empire that he had read. Even the failure of the Battle of Piao Ling was recorded as objectively as possible in the brief history, but this matter was not even mentioned.

But now that I think about it, if Ava Continent is captured, then the world known to mankind except the Dragon Bone Islands and Daemon Continent will basically be included in the territory of the Riel Empire, and the Empire will indeed be at that time. You don't need to care about what other people think.

  From this point of view, this radical risk-taking behavior is not incomprehensible.

   Of course, it’s also possible that the empire’s desire to conquer Avazhou actually has other intentions, so that they don’t care about dignity.

   However, the eventual failure of the conquest is another matter.

The wide and long cloisters give the castle a sense of religious solemnity. The moonstones are carved into the shape of teardrops, decorated with silver edging on the marble columns, and intricately arranged between gems. Elven inscriptions are connected. A faint ray of light flowed in it, smearing the surrounding with a tulle like a moonlight.

  William could feel the magic flowing in it.

  If William unfolds his etheric domain to probe now, he will definitely be able to feel a magic network woven throughout the castle...

   "I advise you not to do this."

   said Moulton suddenly.

"After that assassination, the entire interior defense design of the Moon City was all in charge of the consultants of the Tacoma Order. If you don't want to lack any body parts before meeting the Queen, I advise you not to do this. "

   may have caught a glimpse of William's eyes staring at the surrounding magic circuit, Moulton continued to add.

  William smiled noncommittally, and then asked: "So, the Tacoma Order still has cooperation with you until now?"

   If there is anyone else in the world who deserves their vigilance among the mortal mages in this world, it must be the members of the Tacoma Sect who see the dragons in sight.

  The source of the concept of magic is the keeper of the secrets of the gods, and the believers of the full **** "Ma".

   is also the ultimate riddler who never speaks human words.

  William had dealt with members of the Tacoma Order, and he finally came to the conclusion that the Whispering Queen was better understood than the gang.

"not us'…"

  Multon slowed down when he heard the words, turned his head slightly, looked at William from the corner of his eye and said:

   "They just cooperate with the rulers of Ava."

   But who is the ruler they don't care, they just want to be the advisor to the ruler?

  William muttered in his heart.

  If the Tacoma Religion is willing to help, then the power balance between Avazhou and the Imperial Expeditionary Force will be leveled in an instant, and may even be overtaken.

The member of the Tacoma Order that William came into contact with claimed to be the rank of "skilled person". Although he did not know what level it was within the order, at least it didn't seem to be the highest rank, or the other party would not. I will personally come to Vic Continent to do research on day and night and seasonal changes.

   And even the members of the "skilled" rank of clergy are really powerful people who can cast divine domain spells and are proficient in all spells.

   It is hard to imagine the overall strength of the Tacoma Order.

   On this trip, he came to Avazhou with some thoughts of wanting to get in touch with them.

   Of course, William didn't have much expectations for this.

   "So, now your Continent Lord Remedios came to power after that assassination?"

   After walking for about ten meters, William suddenly asked.

   "Yes, she was the only survivor of that assassination. Soon after, she was elected as the Continent Lord at the Moon Wheel Meeting."

"Until today?"

   William continued to ask.

   "Forever."

   To this, Moulton just answered lightly.

   "That's... cruel."

  William shook his head.

   "To whom is cruel, you?"

   asked Moulton.

   "Too cruel for her."

   William replied.

Remedios, at least in William's impression, is an extremely restless person who is eager for adventure. This is because the other party gave up his surname and set foot on the Vic Continent alone to take risks as a ranger. It can be seen.

  Politics is not for her.

   And Eternal Reign is even less suitable for a mortal.

  Multon didn't reply, and the three of them walked quickly along the silent corridor, traversing the entire atrium and came to a gate made of oregano.

  William noticed that a faint mist was constantly drifting out from the crack of the door.

  Mist Hall, the center of Moon Magic City, used to be the throne room of the Mist King in the past.

   "In here?"

   asked William.

  Multon made no sound, but half-knelt before the gate.

   "Your Highness the Queen, Blood Blade asks for an audience."

  Although it is the city of mages, is there not even a single guard outside?

   William muttered.

   It was also at this time that William suddenly realized a problem - not just the guards, he hadn't seen anyone else since they entered the castle.

  …

   "Bring who?"

   Looking at the Phoenix guards who were leading the retreat, Ward's expression was a little puzzled.

   "The person who was supposed to meet you in Ys City."

   Remedios answered briefly.

   "Ys City? Who?"

  Ward repeated suspiciously.

   "A divine enlightener of the Eighth Order, and perhaps an ambassador for the imperial family."

  Remedios said, looking at Ward's puzzled expression, she continued:

   "The one who came to baptize you."

   "What baptism?"

   "Then why did you destroy Ys City's communication technique earlier?"

   Seeing the expression on Ward's face, it didn't seem like he was joking, Remedios asked immediately.

   As she asked, she put her hand on the Longjing glass showcase where her beloved bow "Liu Liyue" was placed, and the ever-changing gorgeous colors on it began to fade layer by layer.

   "Overloaded and destroyed by the impeachment vote of the whole people. That is an old technique that has not been maintained for more than 30 years."

  Ward answered inexplicably, he looked at the serious expression on Remedios' face and continued:

   "Even if I want to contact the Empire, I can't be stupid enough to use the public spells in the city, right?"

With a    "click", the lid of the Longjing glass showcase opened automatically, and Remedios took out the crystal clear bow that seemed to melt into the air at any time.

   "Then what exactly is your way of contacting the Empire?"

   Remedios held the bow in her hand that was curved like a crescent moon, hung the quiver with dragon scales on her waist, and immediately pulled out an arrow and rolled it in her hand.

  Ward grew up listening to the "Ranger" story, and he couldn't help swallowing when he looked at this glass moon, which is said to be able to shoot an adult dragon into the sky with one arrow.

   Therefore, Ward naturally did not dare to neglect her question, and he immediately replied:

   "Smuggling ships, I have always been in contact with the Empire through smuggling ships..."

   "Will smuggling ships work for the Empire?"

   Everyone knows that most of the smuggling ships that have traveled between Ava and Vic mainland over the years have not had a good relationship with the imperial officials. After all, who would want to risk their shipwreck on a sea of ​​shattered, shattered seas, if not out of a choice?

   Remedios turned her head and glanced at the misty crown beside her, and then focused her attention on the door of the collection room.

   "They don't know who they're working for, and they always thought their biggest client was just a freaking wealthy elf craftsman in Coldstone."

   Looking at Remedios' behavior, Ward answered quickly, and then he asked nervously:

   "What the **** happened?"

   "If it's not the Eighth Order, who are you working with, the Imperial Family?"

   Remedios did not answer his question, but continued to ask in a cold tone.

   "I do have a connection with the imperial family, but the imperial family is a very broad concept..."

   Ward replied.

   "The point."

   The arrow in her hand began to flash a deep blue light.

"The biggest gold owner behind those smuggling ships, and also our biggest trading partner over the years, is the current Duke of Ice Dragon, Grey Riel, the elder brother who was exiled to Lengyuan by Queen Irene, and is now guarded by Lengshi Province. "

  Although I don’t know if this arrow will target me, Ward, who sensed the fierce killing intent, replied directly.

   This time, Remedios turned her head to look at him, stared at him for a long time, until she saw that he felt a little hairy.

   "You know, the relationship between their brother and sister has not been so good, er... harmonious?"

   Ward, who was staring at him so unbearably, spread his hand and explained directly.

   "That's why you've always insisted that our peace talks with the Empire have leverage?"

   Remedios asked after a moment of silence.

   "It's also the reason why I have always insisted not to confront the empire head-on. It is not necessary to use our precious clansmen to exchange with each other. When the time comes, they will obediently go back."

  Ward seemed a little helpless to answer.

   "Then why didn't you bring it up directly at the monthly meeting?"

   Remedios continued to ask.

"Tell everyone about Grey Riel's plan to take back the throne, am I crazy? If one of you leaks the news, don't say you won't, as long as the news reaches the White House, then My layout in Stone Cold all these years is completely ruined."

   Ward's plan is actually very simple, to make peace with the empire, but not the empire under the rule of Queen Irene, but the empire under the rule of the future Emperor Grey.

If the    Empire wants to completely swallow Ava Continent, at least three legions need to be stationed, and at least three powerhouses of the God's Domain need to sit in the town, and they must all be the direct line troops that Queen Irene absolutely trusts.

In this way, the Platinum Province will fall into a state of internal emptiness, and Gray Riel can take advantage of the emptiness to enter, and in the time when the troops stationed in Ava Chau cannot effectively return to the rescue, he should take it down in one fell swoop. the throne.

   As the key to this plan, Ava Continent naturally has enough chips to bargain with the empire.

   Thinking of this, Ward's face showed a puzzled expression again.

   "You didn't know the plan between me and Duke Ice Dragon? Then why did you arrest me?"

  Remedios didn't say anything, but frowned like she was thinking about something?

   "You think I'm working with the Eighth Order?"

  Ward asked tentatively, but Remedios did not answer.

   This convinced Ward that this was the case.

   "Where did the information about the Eighth Religion come from?"

   Ward continued to ask.

   Without waiting for the other party to answer, he said directly:

   "Morton Bloodblade right there?"

   Remedios nodded slowly.

   "I've said it all, don't believe him, he can't hold anything other than war and honor in his mind, then..."

   "Whoosh!"

  Ward's words were not finished before an arrow rubbed his cheek, and the whistling wind instantly tightened his back, and then cold sweat flowed down uncontrollably.

   A faint pain came from his cheek, followed by the feeling that something warm was slowly leaving along his cheek.

  Ward's mind was blank for a second or two, and then he turned his head like a wooden man to look at Remedios, who was holding a bow like a moon.

   Then, Ward followed her gaze and looked behind him.

  A phoenix guard was nailed to the wall, his armor was covered with bloodshot-like traces, and his eyes were red, and there was no sense of reason at all.
