Chapter 556 Du Lun’s Warning
The chest of the captain of the royal guard rose and fell violently. He stared at his little finger, and his eyes seemed to burst with anger.
Little Finger had a strong premonition that Duren would swing the long sword in his hand and chop off his head at the next moment, which made him take two steps back.
But the captain of the royal guard finally controlled his emotions and inserted the sword back into his waist.
Seeing this, Essos also retreated to his previous position.
Military Minister Aulis asked at this time, "Sir Durham, did you just draw your sword in front of His Majesty?"
"I am the captain of the royal guard, and I have the right to carry a sword in the castle." Du Lun said without being humble or overbearing.
"That's right, it's the right to bear a sword." Ollis emphasized the two words in the middle, "Even you can't draw the sword casually before the danger occurs."
Du Lun was silent. He could argue that he felt threatened by his little finger just now, but lying with his eyes open was not something he was good at.
"It seems that you do not deny the crime you committed." Garth on the bone throne said, "Then hand over the red gallbladder first."
The red gallbladder is a hand-me-down made by the greatest dwarf craftsman thousands of years ago. It is the sword of the successive captains of the Royal Guard and their status symbol.
Gals asked Duren to hand over Chidan, which was tantamount to depriving the latter of his current position.
Du Lun struggled a bit, but finally handed the sword to the guard walking towards him.
Seeing this scene, Garth's face finally showed a smile. He knew that this meant that the overall situation was decided, although he also paid a high price.
Thinking of this, Garth couldn't help but glance at the Cornelia priest not far away.
He has always been a little wary of this woman, not only because of the latter's huge influence among the nobles and civilians of the royal capital, or her various magical methods, but more importantly, Garth has never guessed what this woman wants. .
She traveled thousands of miles to come to this continent and this city, following power and relying on power, but she seemed to intentionally keep a distance from power.
What she pursues is different from the others in this hall.
It’s not like Gals has never thought of borrowing the power of the Church of Life. However, unlike his father, he witnessed Edward II almost obeying Cornelia’s words. Gals was very wary of theocratic power.
They even considered inviting Li Yu to stay in the capital, because at present it seems that the only one who can check and balance the Life Church is the equally magical Shuangxiu Church.
But now this problem has been solved.
Garth glanced at Allister again. The youngest brother didn't know whether the other's luck was good or bad.
In the end, the new emperor of the empire decided not to think too much and looked at Du Lun under the stone steps again.
"Do you have anything else to say? My promise is still valid. If you can provide a little bit of valuable information about the death of the late emperor, I will consider exempting you from flogging, even for disrespecting me just now. You Any other witnesses can be found.”
No matter how dull Du Lun was, he understood at this time that he was being plotted against. His every move during the past few days of investigation was all under the eyes of the other party.
Although he still has a witness that he can call, it is of no significance anymore. Instead, it may bring danger to that person, just like the fat cat whose life and death are unknown now.
Seeing that Duren remained silent, Garth did not intend to wait any longer, because the legs of "lucky" Jerome on the other side had already begun to tremble.
It is estimated that he is too old and his physical strength will be exhausted after standing for too long. If Du Lun had not interrupted, he would have put the crown on the new emperor's head and went back to rest.
Garth didn't know if he would still have the strength to hold up the crown after waiting for a while, so he waved his hand and motioned to the guards on the side to escort Duren down first.
But at this moment, Du Lun suddenly opened his mouth again and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
However, the nobles present were a little tired of his crazy words, and when they heard what he said, there was ridicule and ridicule in the crowd.
Everyone hopes that this farce will end soon.
Du Lun was unmoved and instead raised his voice, "The reason why they assassinated His Majesty was to plunge the empire into chaos."
"Who?"
"Those Wing Tribe people are very close to Bratis and may launch an attack on our coastline at any time. This is why Moen came to participate in this tournament."
"He wants to win the tournament to further weaken our morale and prepare for the upcoming war. They want to make us feel afraid."
"This is your baseless imagination again!" Military Minister Aulis snorted coldly, "Apart from the birdman named Moen, there has never been another guy with wings on his back on the mainland.
"Even if they really want to attack us, it is impossible for such a large fleet to cross the sea without any movement. The merchant ships passing by should have noticed them long ago, but until now we have not received similar information, which shows that they are far away from us. Still far away.”
"The third one." The female lord couldn't help but said.
"What?"
"You just said that there hasn't been a second guy with wings on the back on the mainland, but in fact there is, and it would be more appropriate to change it to a third one." Miss Rabbit explained when she saw the Minister of Military Affairs glaring at her.
"Because a man named Gabriel had already appeared in the Western Territory before. He also brought a dragon egg and hatched a black dragon. But fortunately, the black dragon was later killed by Prophet Merlin, me, and Feidi. Nan and others were killed together.”
"What she said is right." said the representative of the Figuerola family, an old man with gray hair but still looking majestic.
"Well, there are only two of us." Ollis said contemptuously, "There is no need for us to be nervous."
Garth also felt that what the Minister of Military Affairs said was very reasonable. A cross-sea expedition was a very dangerous thing, and there were too many threats at sea.
Especially for two continents that are far apart, it is not easy for the last fleet to reach its destination with only five or six people left, and it is not uncommon for the entire army to be wiped out.
And the movement will definitely not be quiet, so that you can't hear the slightest sound of wind.
Gals said to Duren, "Are you determined to connect the murderer with those Wing Tribe people?"
“Because that’s the truth,” Du Lun said. “The accusation I made against you may not have been rigorous enough, but there must be someone within the royal family colluding with those Wing Clan.
"I think it is not a wise thing to hastily crown a new emperor before this matter is investigated clearly."
"Here we go again."
Before Garth could speak, someone was already shaking his head, this time it was the intelligence chief.
"You are talking nonsense again, Sir Duren. It's still the same question as before. How do you plan to prove your words? That sensational war prophecy... Lord Aulis is right. We haven't even seen the third one so far. Three Wing Tribes (End of Chapter)
