Chapter 241: The Curse of the Divine Records
Chapter 241 The Curse of "The Record of God"
The king's last sentence suddenly blew in Roddy's ears like a thunder. Before he finished speaking, Guo Rang's sharp eyes were already staring at Roddy's face.
"Hahaha..." Roddy suddenly chuckled slightly, without any shock on his face, still a calm and calm expression, and said slowly: "Your Majesty seems to have recognized my name wrong. I am the commander of the imperial royal guards, Roddy, the first-class Count of the Empire! He is not a duke."
The king sighed softly and whispered: "Hisser Duke, why do you continue to hide your identity like this? I have seen through your identity."
Roddy smiled slightly: "Your Majesty must have misunderstood. The style of Duke Tulip is well-known in the capital of the Empire of Light. Many people have seen his appearance. How could you suspect that I am the Duke?"
The king squinted his eyes, making it impossible to guess his thoughts from his eyes, and then he heard him slowly say: "Although I am not in harmony with the temple, there are always some news channels from the divine religion. The Black Veil Saint refused the engagement of the Paladin of Fielding after returning from the Great Moon Kingdom. There have been long been rumors inside the temple that this matter may have something to do with the Duke of Tulip! At the Thunder City, hundreds of thousands of people saw the challenge of the Paladin of Fielding and the Duke! Can't we prove anything? Yesterday was in this palace, the Saint of Black Veil was beside you. I can confirm the reason for her apostasy just by looking at your eyes!"
Roddy smiled and looked at the king casually: "Will your Majesty think that I am Duke Tulip just by using this guess? This is too..."
The king laughed loudly, and the laughter interrupted Roddy's words: "Hahaha... With this alone, although I would be a little confused, I wouldn't really think about it. It's just that I happened to get two news last night... These two news naturally forced me to doubt your identity."
Roddy looked at the king quietly. He was already a little shocked, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface, waiting for the king to speak.
"Hisser Roddy, I also received the news when you competed with the Crown Prince last night! Others may not know Lei Hu's strength, but I know it! Lei Hu was originally a member of the Royal Knights. I naturally know how strong his strength has reached! You can easily defeat Lei Hu, and the last move "Condensing Qi into a Form" clearly reached the realm of the Sword Saint Warrior of your country!" The king's tone became slower and slower: "Hisser Roddy, although I am far away in the Roland Continent, given the relationship between your country and us before... Hehe, I am not ignorant of the matters within your country! With the strength of your Sword Saint Warrior, it can be said that it is rare in the Empire of Light! But why have I never heard of your name before as a master like you?"
Roddy still shook his head: "This is just a storm. The territory of the Light Continent is vast, and I don't know how many masters and hermits there are. Not all powerful people have a prominent reputation!"
The king's face remained unchanged, and he continued to say coldly: "According to this, just last night, I received a secret letter from your country. Lord Tulip Duke has been recuperating from his injuries and has not appeared in front of people for a long time! Lord Roddy, is this a coincidence?"
Roddy couldn't help but frown secretly. He wasn't worried about anything else, but the king got a secret report from the empire so quickly. It would be fine if he didn't, but Nicole was still in the country. In this way, Seit's identity would probably be suspected.
Sure enough, the king continued to smile and said, "What makes me even more puzzled is that the secret report actually said that Miss Nicole is still in China and is now in the fief of the Tulip Family! Of course, I would be surprised that since the eldest lady of the Tulip Family is still in your country, who is the 'Miss Nicole' you brought? What puzzles me is that according to my news, the appearance of the Miss Nicole you brought is extremely imaginative!"
The king sighed, looked at Roddy not speaking, deliberately smiled and continued, "Since two 'Miss Nicole's can appear at the same time, then the Lord Duke of Tulip transformed into Count Roddy and took his sister to secretly visit the Roland Continent - I'm afraid it makes sense?"
Speaking of this, the king seemed to exclaim: "I made my sister openly show her to attract the attention of others, but I turned into a small count, Lord Tulip Duke, your methods are really clever! Unfortunately, you didn't expect that my news would come so quickly!" The king's tone gradually became solemn: "I don't hide it from you. Your country is powerful, and it has always been a thorn in Sauron's side and a thorn in flesh! How can I not pay close attention to your country's movements? From the transmission of the message within your country, it takes only four days to cross the Thunder Strait to deliver the news to me!"
Speaking of this, the king finally closed his mouth, with a little expectation in his eyes, and quietly looked at Roddy in front of him.
Roddy took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. Looking at the king's eyes, Roddy suddenly burst into laughter. His long smile filled every corner of the hall. In the laughter, Roddy shook her head while looking helpless.
"Excellent! It's really wonderful!" Roddy stopped laughing: "Your Majesty, I have to admire your guesses very much! If you really follow what you said, even I can't help but feel that I can't really be the Duke of Tulips... It's a pity..." Roddy pointed to his nose and shook his head and said, "I'm not!"
The king looked at Roddy coldly: "His priest, do you still refuse to admit it?"
Roddy deliberately smiled bitterly and said, "The Duke of Tulip is famous all over the world, and everyone is watching! To be honest, I hope I am, but I am not, that's the case!" A sarcastic smile appeared in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I suggest you severely punish your spies in our country!"
"Oh? Why?"
Roddy sighed pretendingly: "Because although he reported your story about Lord Tulip Duke recovering from his injuries and staying in the door, he seemed to have missed a message!"
Looking at the king's puzzled eyes, Roddy slowly said: "Of course, this may not be blamed for your spies. After all, they will only focus on those important trends and will not care about me, a little person! However, if you order your spies to have a little visit today, they will bring you a message that will relieve your doubts!"
Roddy pointed to his nose and smiled, "I, the commander of the Imperial Royal Guards, first-class Count Roddy. At the same time, I am also the lover and fiancé of Miss Nicole, the eldest daughter of the Tulip family! Although not many people know about this, as long as you order a little inspection, it should not be difficult to get news!" Roddy smiled even more happily: "If I were Duke of Tulip, how could I become a couple with my sister?"
The king finally couldn't hold back and frowned, "Fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Tulip Family? I really didn't get this news... just..." The king suddenly looked at Roddy coldly: "So, what explanation should I explain when two Miss Nicole appear here and in your country at the same time?"
Roddy said lightly: "Your Majesty, although this matter has nothing to do with you, in order to understand your doubts, I might as well tell you honestly: Miss Nicole comes with me this time, this time, and she is not suitable to come to Roland Continent... After all, both sides have just experienced a war, and Miss Nicole has a noble status, so naturally she cannot come rashly. His Majesty the Emperor of Our Country also rejected her request. But she insisted on her own and must come with me, which was not to persuade her. The Duke has been obedient to his sister since she was a child. Miss Nicole's meaning cannot be opposed even if she is the Duke... So, we had to get a substitute in China just to cover up the eyes and avoid being punished by His Majesty the Emperor."
The king frowned and his face finally turned a little strange. He seemed to be thinking carefully about Rodi's words.
In the king's heart, although Roddy's explanation seemed reasonable, he always felt that something was wrong...
Roddy bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the current situation is urgent. Your Majesty is a bit of a waste of the truth when pursuing my identity so deliberately!"
The king thought intently, looked at Roddy with his eyes squinted, and seemed to whisper: "I still believe I will not read it wrong!" Then the King Sauron shook his head and smiled again on his face: "Whether the Duke or the Earl, since Mr. Roddy is unwilling to delve into this issue, then we might as well put it aside first!"
He absolutely insisted on his guess! According to his own observation, the "Count Rody" in front of him felt that the other party was extraordinary and had a very general demeanor before. Such a talent could not be just an unknown guy in the Empire of Light! Just seeing Rody explaining reasonably, the king was a little shaken.
What's more, even if the other party is Duke of Tulip, since he is so hard to hide his identity, why should he tear off this layer of shit?
There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts. If you are more concealed, maybe the effect will be better!
Thinking of this, the king laughed and said loudly: "The 'Earl' is right!" After a pause, he turned his eyes to the map beneath his feet and said lightly: "Since the Count seems to have some difficulties, then we might as well continue the topic just now, this dwarf cake..."
Roddy forced a smile. As soon as he heard the king's words, he understood in his heart that King Sauron was suspicious by nature. Since the other party was suspicious of him, it would be impossible to completely dispel the other party's doubts with just a few words. However, since he was willing to skip this topic, Roddy naturally had the same idea.
"Okay, let's not talk about the question just now, I will only ask you one thing!" The king is indeed a veteran in politics. His face turned very fast. In a moment, he had returned to his calmness and said in a deep voice: "Hisser Roddy, are you willing to help me seize this 'cake'?" After saying that, the scepter in his hand paused heavily on the ground, and was inserted into the center of the dwarf kingdom on the map!
Roddy did not answer immediately, as if he had carefully looked at the king for a while, and then said lightly: "Your Majesty, do you think I should help you?" His eyes were fixed on the king's face: "Getting this cake will naturally benefit the Kingdom of Sauron! But it seems that there is no meaning to our Empire of Light, right?"
The king chuckled softly, and there was a bit of a blade in his smile: "If I was not wrong, your country agreed to this peace talks, but it was not a noble purpose! Your country's plan is nothing more than the temple that really unifies the entire Roland Continent! A fragmented Roland Continent is much less threatening than a temple-unified "Roland Empire"! Your country promises to send back hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, just to make our Kingdom of Roland and the temple have a lot of fun!"
Looking at the king's sharp gaze, Roddy refused to let go and said lightly: "So what? So what?" He seemed to be sneering: "I just learned a sentence recently: There are no eternal friends in this world, nor eternal enemies! Your Majesty! Now our peace talks are just the needs of both sides! As long as they are in each other's interests, what's the point of saying so much?" Roddy's tone gradually showed a bit of mockery: "If you follow His Majesty's statement, then it seems that your country secretly sponsored the Kingdom of Great Moon against our country, it would not seem noble!"
"Hahahaha!" The king suddenly laughed a few times and shouted: "Good words! Good one: There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies! I will only ask you one word now, whether you are willing to help me!"
Seeing Roddy smiling and silent, the king immediately understood and whispered: "The current peace talks have become a conclusion! The tearing of the temple is right in front of him! The dwarf kingdom not only has a large piece of iron wood resources, but the trade over the past few hundred years has allowed them to accumulate wealth that they have looked at! As long as they get this wealth, it will naturally be of great help to our next confrontation with the temple..." Speaking of this, the king smiled and looked at Roddy with a deep meaning: "With your experience and gaze of 'availability of war', you should understand that the so-called war is actually the consumption of money and food!"
Roddy nodded.
The king continued to shout: "I don't know what method the old guy Promisse used to get help from the Dragon Clan! Although the Dragon Clan never participated in the Roland Continent, he was willing to help the temple this time. This matter always made me feel uneasy! The enemy's strength was increased by one point, and the threat to us increased by one point! As long as Sauron gets this cake, those other kingdoms must obey me! Collect a stream of forces together to fight the annexation of the temple!! In this situation, as long as things that can be beneficial to us, do you have any hesitation?"
Roddy was secretly shocked by the king's ambition and boldness, and couldn't help but say: "Eating this cake may allow Soren to consolidate the leadership position in the Kingdom of Roland, but at the same time, does Your Majesty seem to have not considered another possibility..." Roddy looked at the king's eyes and slowly said: "Sorren may very likely anger other kingdoms and become public enemy of everyone!! At that time, not only can he not control the other kingdoms and unite together, he may have a split and internal strife first!!"
The king didn't care about the sarcasm in Roddy's words and said lightly: "I don't care about that much!" He showed an extremely confident smile on his face: "I never believed that there was an absolutely perfect plan in this world! Things are caused by humans! Now it is forced by the situation! I have to bet once! If the bet wins! I can rely on this cake, threaten and tempt, and pull the power of other kingdoms firmly in my own hands, so that a plate of loose sand becomes a condensed fist! How can I not be moved by such temptation?!"
bet!
Roddy's eyes suddenly contracted. Looking at the King Sauron in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little complicated.
This guy is ambitious and actually designed such a bold plan! If you succeed, you will reach the sky in one step, and if you fail, you will destroy!
An ambitious man with gambling mentality!
Roddy felt a little admiration in his heart, and he let out a long sigh and smiled: "Since that's the case, what else can I say? But Your Majesty must help me, but I can't think of any kind of help I can give you!"
The king smiled: "I will command the army in this sneak attack! I hope that Lord Roddy can go out to sea with me... Haha... Is it my identity? Of course I am my adviser! I hope you can give my army wise command! Lead them to victory!" The king smiled as if he was a little cunning: "I believe that such a thing that is of great benefit to both you and me is definitely not opposed!"
Roddy frowned: "You actually trust me so much? Leave the command and persuasion of the army to me?"
The king shook his head: "Of course it is impossible to really give it to you. After all, you are not from the Kingdom of Sauron, but I will personally command the troops this time! The orders of Your Excellency Roddy will be conveyed through me..." As if seeing some of Roddy's doubts, the king smiled slightly: "I believe that with your brilliant record, you should not be despised from my respect!"
Roddy knew that nothing was useful to say now, so he glanced at the king deeply, then bent down and bowed, saying goodbye and leaving.
Seeing Roddy go away, the gate of the hall slowly closed, the king suddenly breathed a long sigh, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face. He slowly walked back to his throne, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly whispered: "What do you think?"
In the darkness of the corner, Master Sith's voice came from: "It's worth doubting! This Roddy is absolutely suspicious!" The leading figure of the Roland Continental Magicians Association sighed: "I have observed him carefully, but with my strength, I can't see his depth! My detection technique is completely ineffective for him!"
The king shook his head: "Then you can be sure he must be that person!"
After a moment of silence, Master Sith suddenly spoke, "Did you really decide to bet?"
"Yes!" The king immediately replied: "If I miss this opportunity, I will definitely regret it in the future!"
Master Sith suddenly laughed in a low voice, his old voice seemed to have a bit of sharp sarcasm: "You are so trying to attack the dwarves... is it for those iron wood resources and wealth? Or..." His voice gradually became a bit ethereal: "Is it to seize the 'Divine Record' owned by the dwarves hundreds of years ago?"
The king suddenly stood up and suddenly changed his color and said, "Master Sith, have you heard of the 'Divine Record' too!!"
Sith's voice seemed a little cold: "The Magicians Association has been in hundreds of years of history, and they always know some of those vague things..." His tone gradually became sharp: "In order to deal with the temple, have you ignored the curse about the "Shenlu"?! Even the temple was afraid of the curse of the "Shenlu" at the beginning and had to order the stop of the war with the dwarves! I warn you, the "Shenlu" must not appear on this continent, otherwise it would not only bring disaster!!"
The king laughed loudly, with a bit of arrogance in his laughter: "Do you mean disaster or destruction? If the temple succeeds, I will be the first to destroy it in the end! If I destroy it, then I won't mind dragging everything with me to destroy it!!"
Seeing the king laughing wildly, Sith's eyes showed a complicated meaning, as if he was just talking to himself. He lowered his voice and said slowly: "The God Relic Curse: The Heaven, the Earth, the People... Alas, the Dwarfs threatened to destroy the God Relic, and the jade and stones were burned, and even the temple did not dare to act rashly. I think you guy is really crazy!"
"The king has murderous intentions towards you!" After hearing Roddy telling the story of what happened in the palace today, Seit said this lightly.
Miaosi frowned, as if she was puzzled: "Murderous intention? Even if the king doubted Roddy's identity in his heart, he wouldn't be so stupid that he turned against the Empire of Light now, right?"
Seit shook his head, his tone calm: "If all Roddy said is true, this King Sauron is a very adventurous person! The three-year-old child knows the importance of Tulip Duke to the Empire of Light! If he can take advantage of the opportunity now to kill Tulip Duke in one fell swoop, then will there be a better chance for the Kingdom of Sauron?"
Miaosi still didn't believe it: "Although this temptation is great, the Kingdom of Sauron now needs cooperation with the Empire of Light! He will not be so stupid that he will offend such a great enemy in the south while facing the threat of the temple!"
Seit glanced at Miaosi and said coldly: "Women are women, and they can never understand the beauty of politics!" Looking at Miaosi, Seit quickly continued: "Since Roddy bites to death, he is not the Duke of Tulip, then the king might as well continue to pretend to be stupid... Anyway, Roddy is really killed by him by then, then he is just a 'elephant'. Just find a reason and say that he was assassinated by the temple. Even if the Empire doesn't believe it, there is no evidence.
According to it! Besides, even if the empire really turns against each other, will he be afraid of the Kingdom of Soren?" He smiled and said, "The Kingdom of Soren only needs hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war! After hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war are obtained, even if it turns against the Empire of Light, so what? Anyway, there is a Thunder Strait to block it, the Empire of Light can't fly over, right? Even if the Empire of Light can fly over, isn't it my rude speech - the empire now has the ability to launch a large-scale war?"
Miaosi said coldly: "Then let's try it! With our strength, even if the king has the will to kill, can he do anything to us?"
Seit was not angry at all, but instead smiled and said lightly: "I know you are all strong people, one is a great practitioner and the other is a strong domain. But no matter how strong you are, you are still humans! As long as you are a human, you must have weaknesses! A strong person in the realm is not immortal, right?" Seit suddenly sighed: "Humans have weaknesses, and no matter how powerful a person is, they cannot escape this! It is impossible to do something openly. Can't you think of other ways? In the midst of politics, you can do any despicable and shameless things!"
He suddenly looked at Roddy and frowned, "Did you tell the king that you are the fiancé of 'Miss Nicole'?"
Roddy hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, that's how I explained it."
"You have a good explanation! But I'm afraid I'll hurt me!" Seit sighed, with a strange expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Then listen! From now on, you have to spend more time protecting me! The king can't kill the powerful man in your field. Will he not use his brains anywhere else? Fool! My current identity is your fiancée, Miss Nicole!!"
Old Mark and Miaosi rolled their eyes at the same time, and the same thought flashed through their minds: "You guy, still need someone to protect? Thank you for not provoking others!"
Roddy, who had been thinking, suddenly showed a strange expression on her face: "Set, did you suddenly remind me of what you said just now?"
"What?"
Roddy suddenly laughed, he gently touched his chin and smiled, "Didn't you say 'Anyway, there is a Thunder Strait blocking it, the Empire of Light can't fly over, right?"
Saiwei: "Yes, what's wrong with this?"
Chapter completed!
