Chapter 259

The Obsidian walls of Morley Palace are so hard that hundreds of years of wind and frost have not changed it at all.

On the side of the palace with the sun's heraldry, there is a wide garden, in which there are statues of ancient sages and emperors. Pure white marble is used as the road, which is divided into two sections. The road leads to a side hall, where the supreme of the Empire often leans against his dragon skin armchair, reads books and enjoys a moment's leisure.

Now, however, the atmosphere in the Royal study in the middle of mollai palace is dignified, as if a storm is brewing.

"Ridiculous"

Cold laughter reverberated in the study. A tall man with dark gold shoulder length hair stood in front of his desk. He glanced at the warrior standing in front of him respectfully and said blandly, "I don't want to hear you say what happened to the riot, Nash. How can I not know this?"

"No, my majesty."

Wearing chain armour and single sword, the warrior named Nash lowered his head to a lower level. He explained in a low voice: "with your strength, I think I have known the cause of this incident for a long time..."

"Then don't talk nonsense."

Interrupted by his subordinates, Israel Diamond, the ruler of the Empire, looked like ice: "tell me, when can we start to clean up the Heretics in the holy city?"

"I'm afraid... It will take a while to prepare!"

With his teeth clenched, Nash did not dare to look directly at the emperor's eyes. A cold sweat appeared on his forehead: "Your Majesty, the city guards have begun martial law. They are blocking the transmission array and forbidding outsiders to enter or leave the holy city - but this time, the strange thing is that there is no clue. We don't know where to start the search. There is no chaos left this time, No one is aware of the clues, we have no way to start! "

Seeing that Israel did not continue to reprimand, the warrior was relieved. Maybe it was because he stayed in the army all the year round. The powerful emperor did not listen to the explanation, but just hated the blunt words. So after a while, he added: "all four members of the house owner's family have been confirmed killed, The charred bodies have been found in the basement. They suffered a lot during their lives, so it is impossible to confirm the time of death. We have reason to believe that this is a premeditated attack, and the heretics may have started to prepare for action a week ago. "

"No trace of heretics has been found yet, but a few days later it will be the celebration Carnival..."

At this point, Nash's heart has already started to beat wildly, but because of his professionalism, even if he is likely to annoy Israel, he has to say his judgment: "so, your majesty, I and others think, We need to postpone the time of holding the celebration party for a while, and wait until we capture all those damned heretics before holding it another day! "

"I think that group of people will attack on the day of the celebration, so for the sake of safety, do you plan to delay the party?"

At this time, Israel's tone is normal, he said calmly: "reasonable judgment, as a minister, you are qualified."

Before Nash put down the stone in his heart, the voice came again: "but."

When the emperor of the Empire came to his desk, Israel looked up at the crest of the dome: "I am the emperor of the Empire."

"The holy city is the capital of the Empire."

"In two days' time, the envoys of most countries in this continent will gather at the banquet of the imperial capital, and members of the aristocratic families of the whole empire will come. Even the elves in the silent forest and the dwarves underground will have representatives to congratulate them, not to mention the envoys of the seven gods church."

He looked back at the sweaty samurai and said plainly, "those evil believers want to damage not only my face, but also the face of the capital, Empire and royal family."

"Nash, you are the commander of the shadow. You are the sharpest knife and ear in my hand. I don't want to hear anything. When the capture is finished, I want to hold it some day. What I want is to eliminate all the uncertain and unstable factors."

"I will give you corresponding rights. Listen, my warrior, you will be able to mobilize all the city guards, half of my guards, and thirty [Mars guards], so now tell me, do you have the confidence to ensure the safety of the capital?"

In silence, a talisman representing power appeared in front of Nash's eyes. This golden peak, who was close to the realm of extreme intention, didn't even notice any omen. However, he seemed to have been used to his Majesty's powerful and unpredictable power, so there was no surprise. Nash respectfully picked up the talisman and then cried out, Almost roared, "yes! Your majesty

At the end of the speech, he did not dare to gasp, Nash did not even dare to raise his eyes and look directly into the face of the ruler of the Empire, and Israel was very satisfied with the straightforward reply. He nodded and said, "it's up to you.""Step back."

Hearing the Lord's command, the warrior put his right hand and amulet on his chest and bowed back. The chain armour and the weapon on his waist rubbed and made a metal collision. After hearing the sound of the door closing, Israel was silent for a while. Then he sighed a little and said to the empty void: "teacher, here you are."

With this saying, the dark blue light blooms, and the only white haired mage who has the power to transmit in the palace appears in the study. Nostradamus looks solemn. He looks at this legendary student who has already excelled in the blue. He originally has a lot to say, but in the end, it is condensed into a long sigh: "Israel, What's wrong with you again? "

"Yes."

Sitting slowly on the Longpi armchair behind the desk, the noble emperor now looks like a troubled ordinary man. His face is a little tired, and he is not as dignified as he was when he faced Nash: "when he fought with the orcs several decades ago, the spine that was cursed by the former high priest has not yet healed. This injury is too early, and has already gone deep into my origin, Even if I reach the legendary level, I can barely suppress it. "

"This time, the angel of the spirit will come with the buds of the tree of life."

Nostradamus walked slowly to his desk. He originally came here to discuss about heretics and celebrations. However, after seeing Israel's current state, the old mage could not turn his attention to other places. He said solemnly: "it is the purest gathering of life force in the world. With it, we can see that it is the most pure gathering of life force in the world, You may be able to remove the hidden danger in your body. "

"Of course, I had planned to cure the old disease after the celebration, and then try to break through the legendary high level."

Slowly closing his eyes, Israel showed a sneer: "those damned bedbugs, while I am not in good condition, intend to provoke the majesty of the Empire. After the celebration, I will thoroughly wipe out all the evil cults from the territory of the Empire."

This is a sonorous and forceful statement, which will not question the determination of its master at all.

And in the mage Association.

The Royal mage association is located in the most prosperous area of the inner city of the imperial capital. It can even be regarded as the center of the inner city. All the six central roads connecting the outer city and the inner city converge in front of the association, forming a fountain square. The square is surrounded by tall buildings like the parliament hall and the city hall, but the most magnificent, Or the Royal Association of mages.

After observing the scene of the explosion, Joshua, Ying and Lin continued to take a carriage to the Royal mage Association in the inner city. When they arrived, Nostradamus looked in a hurry and seemed to have something to do. After a greeting, they used time and space magic to teleport away. Only Brandon and the soldiers remained in the association.

Brandon seems to be a familiar guest here. Along the way, both the guards and several passing mages knew him. Surprisingly, some of them also knew Joshua, and a small number even stepped forward to shake hands.

Presumably, these people all know the soldiers' past achievements. In the northern Empire, a country that worships the strong, this kind of thing is normal. The soldiers are surprised that they have a loyal fan unconsciously.

The interior of the association is very spacious. Joshua suspects that some space-time technology is used in it. Brandon's later explanation also proves this point: the interior space of the association is equivalent to a large square. The magic laboratory, alchemy laboratory and other dangerous areas are all in the interior of the space, so even if there are really some extremely dangerous accidents, At most, it will destroy the space-time structure of the mage association itself, and will not affect the surrounding city hall and other buildings, so as to maximize the safety.

"I've been working in the lab recently on the rabies virus."

Brandon walked in front of the corridor of the association to lead Joshua and his two weapons. The blonde swordsman was extremely enthusiastic: "now, I'm going to take you to have a look. Although there may be no one in the laboratory at this time point, I can at least introduce to you the results of our recent research."

"You'll be surprised, I promise."
