Chapter 471 Unexpected Discovery
Duanmu Huai had no intention of hiding the matter. In fact, after returning home, he immediately informed everyone about the matter.
Because Duanmuhuai knows very well that many things cannot be covered up. Sometimes, acknowledging reality is more important than anything else. In fact, most failures begin with the inability to acknowledge reality.
For now, there is indeed something wrong with the Royal City. Fortunately, there is no problem with the Second Legion. After leaving the Royal City, everyone went to the border between Herman and the Demon Realm. Everything was in order there, and everything was normal. The general of the Second Army also met with them. When the other party learned that something big had happened in the royal city, his surprise and surprise did not seem to be fake.
In other words, not only the Tribunal and King Qin's Army didn't know about what happened in the Royal City, but even the Second Army didn't know about it.
No one knows what's going on inside now.
"From a magic point of view, I think if so many corpses are used, it will definitely be a very scary ritual or magic..."
An and Gu Liya studied for a while and finally gave this answer. It's a pity that even Shijinxiang can't accurately answer Duanmuhuai's world as to whether there is magic that requires so many corpses.
But anyway, An's idea is correct.
No matter what the Council wanted to do, using so many corpses was problematic in itself.
"Now the soldiers are starting to get a little restless."
Uluze is more concerned about another issue.
Although they have now recruited many soldiers locally, many of the soldiers of the First, Fourth and Fifth Legions have their families living in the Royal City. Now that they heard something happened in the royal city, they also hoped to go back and have a look and know the whereabouts of their family members.
"Should we change our plans?"
"The original plan remains unchanged. Reorganize those people into a force and go to the royal city with the Fourth Legion and the Tribunal. The others will continue to be responsible for the current work."
Duanmuhuai shook his head. Currently, the number of the Fourth Army was close to 100,000, second only to the Second Army. The First and Fifth Legions were on their side, which directly dispelled the resistance of other cities. In fact, what they have to face now is only the desperate struggle of the Council Party. Except for them, no one else has the intention to fight the Fourth Army to the end.
In this case, the Fourth Legion already has enough power to deal with those small-minded people.
Since this is the case, then it is time for the Inquisition to take action.
News of the royal city spread throughout King Qin's army, and the personal guards naturally also knew the news.
"Is this true? Captain?"
After learning the news, Lucian almost rushed to Kildi and asked.
"Ah? Well...Yes, we have already investigated the Royal City. At least for now, it seems that the Royal City has indeed been attacked, but the body is missing..."
"How could it be..."
"What's wrong? Lucien?"
Seeing Luxian's horrified expression, Kildi looked at her doubtfully. Having said that, she has not forgotten that she had suspected Lucian's identity as a certain Herman noble lady. From the current point of view, is her home in the Herman Royal City? If this is the case, it makes sense...
"………………"
Faced with Kildi's question, Luxian did not answer. She hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Kildi.
"Miss Kilti, I want to talk to the inquisitor, is that okay? I have something very important to tell him!"
"…………"
Hearing this, Kildi looked at Lucian carefully and then nodded.
"Of course no problem."
After that, Kilti brought Lucien to the command room. Everyone happened to be there and saw Kilti coming with Lucian. They didn't pay too much attention until Kilti spoke.
"Your Majesty the Inquisitor, this Miss Luxian said she has something very important to tell you."
"Oh?"
Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked at Qildi and Luxian beside her. Facing Duanmuhuai's gaze, Luxian trembled, but still stood there with her back straight.
"What happened?"
Duanmuhuai stared at Luxian and asked. The latter hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"Before that, I want to remove the transformation magic on me first...is that okay?"
"Of course, who's coming?"
Duanmuhuai was not surprised that Lucian said that she had used transformation magic. After all, Qildi had already told him about her suspicions about Lucian. He looked like a commoner, but he wore high-end underwear, and his skin was delicate and smooth, unlike a weather-beaten farmer's child. At that time, Kildi suspected that Luxian might have used transformation magic.
Now it seems that Qildi's observation skills are still very good.
"I'll do it."
Although she has become smaller, Shitsuka's magical powers have not diminished, and her mind is still there.
How do you say that--even though he has become a child, his mind is still bright. This is a famous detective...Ahem, no more fun.
Of course Zhijinxiang didn't know what Duanmuhuai was thinking. She walked up to Luxian and stretched out her hand. Soon, a ray of magical light enveloped Lucian's body. Then, in full view of everyone, Lucian gradually began to change. The ribbon binding her hair was loosened, and her hair spread downwards, with long, dark hair. The hair shone with golden light. At the same time, the girl's originally light brown skin began to become as white and delicate as porcelain, and her pair of gray eyes also showed a dazzling emerald green brilliance like gems.
"Hey...Ahhhhh?!"
Seeing this scene at this moment, not only Kriolev's eyes widened in surprise, but Rolex also opened his mouth in surprise, pointing at Lucian and being speechless. Even Krim was stunned at this time. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him. "Emperor...Your Majesty?!"
The light of magic dissipated, and what appeared in front of everyone again at this moment was no longer the slave girl before, but a girl with bright blond hair, green eyes, and a luxurious and beautiful face.
She let out a long breath, then looked at Duanmuhuai and lifted up her skirt.
"Hello, Mr. Judge, this is the first time we meet. I am very sorry that I have concealed my identity from you all this time. I am the Emperor of the Kingdom of Herman - Sheila Herman."
“………………………………………………”
At this moment, everyone present was stunned.
This slave girl is actually...the emperor? ! !
In fact, even Qildi, who had long been suspicious of Sheila, was stunned and speechless at the moment. At most, she thought that this girl was probably the eldest daughter of a certain noble in Herman, but she did not expect that. She could actually be...emperor?
Good guy, the emperor infiltrated into King Qin’s army, what kind of operation could he do? !
"Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor!!"
Krim fell to his knees directly, too frightened to speak.
"This is really surprising."
In comparison, Duanmu Huai was only slightly surprised.
"But you are showing your identity to me now. Obviously you are not here to say hello, right? Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, yes."
Lucian——No, Emperor Sheila nodded vigorously.
"In fact, there is a reason why I fled the royal city..."
Then, Sheila told everyone the reason why she fled the royal city.
According to Sheila, Stither came to her room one day and proudly told her that he had gained enough power to conquer the entire world. At the same time, he also took out a box, saying that the box was the key. As long as it can be activated, it can activate a powerful power that no one can match. By that time, the entire world will be in Herman's bag, and he will also become the king of the world!
Sheila was horrified when she learned about this. In the end, she made a risky decision, that is, to steal the key and leave the royal city! Then send the key to the headquarters of the AL Church. Although Sheila didn't know what it was, since Stisse expressed that he wanted to use it to rule the world, the best way was to send it to the AL Church.
Fortunately, her maid was willing to assist her and found her a transformation potion, which the two drank and transformed. Sheila turned into the appearance of the maid, and the maid turned into the appearance of Sheila. Then Sheila followed the maid's instructions and secretly left the royal city with the box.
"Then how did you become a slave??"
Duanmuhuai couldn't figure out how a majestic emperor could become a slave, while Sheila lowered her head dejectedly. According to her statement, she followed the maid's words and went to a village on the border to find the person the maid said. At that time, the maid told her that as long as she found this person, he would be able to send Sheila to the AL Church.
It turned out that that person turned out to be a slave trader... Well, judging from this, Sheila was probably tricked by her maid.
"So do you know what Stisser is talking about?"
"I don't know that."
Sheila shook her head.
"Stither was very cautious and didn't tell me about this."
"So, after you heard about what happened in the royal city, you thought this was the trump card that Stisser was talking about?"
"Yes."
While talking, Silla took out a box and handed it to Duanmu Huai.
"This is the key."
"It just looks like an empty box."
Duanmuhuai took the box and shook it again and again. Well, there was nothing in it. It was empty.
"That's what I said at first, but Stisser said there's a big secret hidden in it..."
"The secret..."
Duanmuhuai looked at the box.
"That's easy."
"Easy?"
"Yes, since this thing is a key, then...just destroy it!!"
As he spoke, black flames burst out from Duanmu Huai's hand, and then he grabbed it hard with his palm. The next moment, the box suddenly shattered, and with a sharp wailing, everyone saw a humanoid thing flying out of it. And out——then he was swallowed up by the black flames and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Well, it looks like a soul is sealed inside. As for whose soul it is...it's already dead, so there's no point in talking about it."
"Uh..."
Seeing this scene, Silla was completely speechless.
Duanmuhuai clapped his hands, knocked off the dust on his hands, and then looked at Silla.
"Then His Majesty the Emperor, since you are here, why not come with us."
