Chapter 447 Looking for trouble?
"Hahahahaha!!"
Even after returning to the castle, Suzunu was still holding her stomach and laughing non-stop, and Shijinka next to her couldn't help laughing. Only Magiko was somewhat better - mainly because she was more reserved and didn't dare to anger Duanmuhuai.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Duanmu Huai's current complexion is not very good.
"Haven't you laughed enough?"
"After all, this is so interesting. That devil actually thinks you are the devil... Hahaha..."
After saying this, Suzume couldn't help but clenched her fist and smashed the wall, while Shitsuka next to her turned her head and her shoulders couldn't help but shrug.
Looking at their appearance, Duanmu Huai could only roll his eyes helplessly.
Of course Duanmuhuai didn't say this kind of thing, in fact it was Lingnu who saw it herself. She now serves Duanmu Huai as a ninja. She basically lurks around and monitors the safety around Duanmu Huai at all times, so that she can remind Duanmu Huai if something unexpected happens.
In fact, this is normal. Suzume is a genius ninja, but not a genius warrior. It is no problem for her to assassinate and collect intelligence, but it will be difficult for her to face the enemy Sengoku Wushuang head-on. So when Duanmu Huai was looking for the devil, Lingnu was lurking nearby, so she watched the whole process completely.
Duanmuhuai won't say much, but Lingnu doesn't have to worry about it. Go back and tell Shijinxiang and Majiko about this...
To be honest, being misunderstood by a demon as a demon king is quite ridiculous to ordinary people, not to mention that Shijinxiang and Majiko also participated in the demon invasion of Seth with Duanmu Huai, and then compare For a moment——that would be even more ridiculous.
From a certain point of view, Duanmu Huai is indeed more vicious than the Demon King. As for the Demon King... they have never seen it, but it seems not surprising that a person more fierce than the Demon Man is called the Demon King.
Duanmu Huai had no choice but to let them laugh. He was not the kind who insisted on keeping a straight face from his subordinates, and he quite admired Ling Nu's character. To be honest, Bambi and Lingnu were the only ones around him who were more or less friendly to him. Others were somewhat polite, some of which were due to habit. On the other hand, Duanmu Huai was fierce and serious after all. He smiles like a Chainsaw Massacre maniac, so no one dares to joke with him.
Bambi feels more like a younger sister to Duanmu Huai, and Lingnu feels like she has hurt her friend. Although she is a little unhappy, there is no harm in losing her.
Especially for Duanmu Huai, this kind of ridicule is still rare.
After killing Demon King Nobunaga, even if Duanmu Huai's mission was over, the army of monsters dispersed without a trace. Now O.J only has the Asakura family, the Uesugi family and the Hojo family left - from the heroes of the Warring States Period It became the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, O.J's reconstruction work is difficult, but this is not the scope of Duanmuhuai's concern.
"Dear, you are back!!!"
However, Duanmuhuai and others had just returned to the castle when they heard a scream, and then saw Leah running over and throwing herself into Duanmuhuai's arms.
"Are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?"
"That's good."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Liya nodded happily, then turned her head and looked at her attendant.
"I already know the situation of O.J. You immediately sent a representative to O.J to tell them that Lisas is willing to help them rebuild, but the condition is that O.J must become a vassal state of Lisas."
When giving the order, Liya didn't look like she was in love in front of Duanmuhuai at all. Instead, she looked like a qualified queen, strong and domineering. You must know that Asakura, Kameyama and Hojo are also daimyo from famous families in O.J., but in Leah's eyes, they seem to be nothing more than that.
This is normal. The President of the United States does not care about the mood of African tribal chiefs.
"Yes."
The attendant nodded, followed the order and left, and Liya regained her love-minded appearance and threw herself into Duanmu Huai's arms again with a smile.
"Dear, what happened to you and the AL Cult? People are starting to want you!"
"I'm wanted?"
Duanmuhuai was stunned for a moment when he heard Leah's words.
What does this mean? I don't go looking for trouble with them, how dare they take the initiative to look for trouble with me?
oh? Is that so? Not only did you not run away, but you actually walked directly towards me?
You want to be beaten, right?
Fortunately, Leah didn't mean to be the Riddler. She took Duanmuhuai to her room and sat down, then told Duanmuhuai the situation.
To put it simply, a few days ago, when Duanmu Huai was still at O.J., the AL cult suddenly issued a call, claiming that the Tribunal was a heretic and wanted to purify it. At the same time, Duanmu Huai, who was the judge of the Tribunal, was to be arrested, and All countries are asked to cooperate.
Leah was naturally unhappy about this, and King Gandhi on Seth's side was not too happy either. Duanmu Huai was the hero who saved both countries anyway, and now the AL Church wants them to help arrest people. This is simply unreasonable. . Although the AL religion does have a great influence among the people, neither Leah nor King Gandhi is the kind of weak king. In a word, I just won’t help you, what can you do to me?
In other aspects, the AL Cult can also mobilize civil society, but the problem is that the citizens of Seth, the citizens of Lisas, and even the citizens of the Free City Alliance have been saved by Duanmu Huai, so the call for the AL Cult is not very strong. Take heart.
On the contrary, the Kingdom of Herman was very concerned and seemed to be gearing up to be the vanguard and wanted to send troops to destroy Duanmu Huai and the Tribunal.
"So, dear, what do you think? Why don't Seth and I join forces to kill Herman?"
Speaking of Herman, Leah also gritted her teeth - less than a year had passed since the feud between Lisas and Herman, and the memory was very vivid, so it would be great to take the opportunity to take revenge.
In fact, among the three countries in the current continent, Seth and Lisas all have a grudge against Herman. After the fall of the Holy Demon Order, Herman first created the first great kingdom unified by mankind. But later, due to various corruption and oppression, domestic unrest broke out. In the end, Lisas' ancestors directly raised a rebel flag and became the king of the mountain. They abruptly broke away from Herman and established Lisas. The magicians of Seth were dissatisfied with Herman's high-pressure policies, so they eventually migrated to Seth and built a country for magicians.
Because of this, Herman hated Lisas and Seth, and the latter two couldn't stand Herman even more. The two sides have too many old and new grudges, and they don't mind fighting again.
Especially for Queen Leia of Lisas, if she could directly go to war with Herman and fight to the opponent's royal city, then she would be able to get rid of the bad breath that Herman's Prince Barton had when he raided Lisas.
Leah is very vindictive.
"I see, but why does the AL religion suddenly want to trouble me?"
"Leah is not sure about this. I heard it seems to be related to the election of the French King."
"Election of the Dharma King??"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but be startled. He had heard from Zhi Jinxiang that the previous Dharma King of the AL sect had passed away not long ago, but he didn't expect that this matter was actually related to him... Go ahead and elect your successor. Your Majesty, what are you doing to my court? How dare you come to trouble me? You're tired of living, aren't you?
At the same time, in the palace of Langgu, the capital of Herman, two people were having a secret meeting.
"Thank you for your help this time, Prime Minister Stisser."
The rich middle-aged man with blond hair wearing a white holy robe was smiling and looking at the very gentle man wearing glasses in front of him. The latter is the prime minister of the Kingdom of Herman and the current actual ruler of this country - Prime Minister Stisser.
"You're welcome, Bishop Oz."
Facing the rich priest's thanks in front of him, Prime Minister Stisse nodded slightly.
"We also have a sworn blood feud with the Inquisition. Their inquisitor killed the prince of the Kingdom of Herman. We must respond to this cruel behavior."
"Hehehe..."
Hearing Prime Minister Stisser's answer, Bishop Oz showed a smile, but his eyes were hazy.
In fact, the expulsion and arrest of Duanmu Huai was initiated by Bishop Oz.
Duanmu Huai couldn't understand why the AL Cult was targeting him, but in fact, the AL Cult had been paying attention to Duanmu Huai since a long time ago.
On the surface, AL religion is a religion that worships the goddess Alice and aims to protect mankind. But in fact, they also have a very important task in this, and that is to eliminate or seal all existences that disrupt the balance.
As for the AL Cult, Duanmu Huai, who successively killed the former Demon King Ji Er and several demons, and even the Tribunal behind him, have obviously affected the balance of power in this continent, so similar suggestions have long been made. However, the Dharma King who was alive at the time refused this request.
But now, the old Dharma King passed away and when it was time to choose a new Dharma King, Duanmu Huai was chosen by AL again.
The reason is actually very simple.
One of the conditions for the election of the Dharma King is to determine how likely each successor is to become the Dharma King. The conditions that affect these probabilities are doing good deeds, serving humanity, and serving the AL religion. Of course, the requirement of sealing things that affect the balance is also indispensable.
Archbishop Oz is one of the candidates qualified by the AL Church to be elected as the next Dharma King, and he has therefore set his sights on Duanmu Huai. Within the AL Church, Duanmu Huai has long been identified as the most dangerous person who disrupts the balance on the continent. If it can be captured or sealed, Bishop Oz's score will definitely rise. In this way, it will be a certainty that he will become the next French King!
However, Bishop Oz also knew very well that Duanmuhuai and the Tribunal had considerable influence within Lisas and Seth, so he found Herman.
As for what Prime Minister Stisser said about having a grudge against Duanmuhuai, Archbishop Oz simply turned a deaf ear. He was also very familiar with the political struggles within the Kingdom of Herman. If Duanmuhuai hadn't killed Prince Barton in Lisas, the princess would have been dead. I am afraid that the faction has no way to win yet. From this point of view, it was too late for Prime Minister Stisser to throw a banquet for Duanmu Huai, so how could he have any deep hatred against him?
But Bishop Oz also gave his own terms of exchange. If Herman is willing to help, then the AL Church will also assist Herman in stabilizing the domestic order. After all, after the death of Prince Barton, Princess Sheila assumed the throne and became Herman. Mann's new emperor, but in fact she is just a puppet emperor, and all power is controlled by Prime Minister Stisser.
Of course, this situation naturally caused a lot of opposition and protests, and even rebellions, within Hermann.
If the AL coach can come forward, it will be very helpful for Herman to stabilize his heart.
Prime Minister Stisser also wanted to sell Archbishop Oz a favor so that he could get closer to the AL Cult when he became King of France in the future.
So the two sides hit it off and reached an alliance.
"I heard that Seth and Lisas are planning to form an alliance to fight against Herman. From this point of view, aren't you worried?"
"Of course I'm not worried."
Upon hearing what Bishop Oz said, Prime Minister Stisser sneered.
"Lisas is a poor, weak and small country, and Seth has just recovered from the invasion of demons. It is not worth mentioning at all. If they dare to stand in front of my Herman army, destroy them all together!"
Having said this, Stisser also raised his glass.
"At that time, it will be the day when I, Hermann, will unify the world again!"
