Chapter 539 The kingdom is in crisis, and the Theocracy is in civil strife!
Half an hour later, Ye Cheng and Nabe slowly walked out of the empire's palace.
When they just walked out of the palace, Archie and the others saw the two people from Yecheng coming out safely, so they surrounded them with anxious expressions.
Obviously Hekkeran and the others will also appear here, and Arshe should have informed them.
The impression that the "Blood Emperor" gave to former nobles like Arshe was too dangerous. They were suddenly summoned by the emperor in Yecheng, and Arshe was worried that something might happen to them.
As the son of a businessman and having been an imperial worker for many years, Hekkeran knew many people in the royal capital. He originally thought about whether he could use bribery to fish them out of Night City or find out what was going on. What happened.
But who knew that before they even started taking action, Ye Cheng and Nabe had already walked out unharmed.
"What! You mean the emperor is looking for you to recruit you as knights and court magicians?"
Hekkeran and others were stunned when they heard what Ye Cheng said. Originally, they thought that Ye City and Nabe were summoned by the emperor for interrogation because of their unknown origins but their powerful strength.
But I didn't expect that their Emperor, His Majesty, would be so courageous. Not to mention the problem of their unknown origins in Ye City, he would actually entrust them with such an important task from the beginning.
Of course, while being surprised, Hekkeran was also quite happy for Night City and the others. After all, compared to empire workers, the status of Knight Commander and Court Magician of the Knights was obviously much higher.
"It's such a pity. Originally, I had a good commission here, and I wanted to cooperate with you guys again."
Because after completing the work of exploring the ruins of the "Thirteen Heroes" last time, not only the two Ye Cheng from "Realm", but also the "Four Advisors" became famous.
For workers, as long as their reputation increases, their jobs will naturally increase.
Yecheng and the others have not been working as workers for a long time and do not have a fixed contact middleman, so naturally those people can only find the "Four Advisors" who have a good relationship with Yecheng and the others.
This time, the commission Hekkeran and the others received was not from the Bahas Empire, but from the "Golden Princess" of the Kingdom of Li Yestije.
It is rare for empire workers to receive commissions from outside the empire, but this is enough to show that their team's reputation has even spread abroad.
Just like those "Adamantine Grade" adventurer teams, although they are active in different areas, their names can be heard even in other kingdoms.
The name "Golden Princess" is quite famous even in the empire, and this work was personally entrusted by the other party.
The other party was nominally looking for their "Four Advisors", but Hekkeran actually had some self-awareness in his heart. He knew that the people they were mainly looking for were probably Night City, who could rival the adamantite-level adventurers, and the fifth-level magic chanter. The singer's nabe.
It is said that the current capital of King Ri-Estije was attacked by a powerful demon named "Adabao".
The opponent used the flame prison wall to cover part of the royal capital and summoned a large number of demons.
Now the adventurers of the kingdom have gathered in the royal capital, but unfortunately, facing the seemingly endless demons, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, out of desperation, the golden princess of the kingdom could only choose to consider the neighboring countries.
It is obviously impossible for the official forces of the empire to help. The two countries are at war every year, and the emperor of the empire is eager to just sit back and watch the show, so how can he possibly lend a helping hand. Adventurers from the empire are also unable to do so, because the Adventurer's Guild has its own rules. If they want to gain a foothold in the empire, they must abide by the rules here.
Apart from the imperial soldiers and adventurers, the only ones that can be considered are workers.
They are just a group of guys who say they are workers, but in fact they are more like mercenaries. They are not bound by many rules. As long as the money is available, they will take any job.
Sacrificing a little financial gain can save more kingdom citizens. The Golden Princess felt that this business was very profitable, so she asked the bard to issue a commission to the workers.
Originally, Hekkeran seemed to have asked Night City and the others to act together, because this time the king and the king were in critical condition, and the reward given by the other party was quite generous.
But who knew that Ye Cheng and Nabe had been recruited to become Imperial Knight Commanders and Court Magicians.
With such an identity, it has been completely labeled as the Bahas Empire, and it is obviously inappropriate to go to the Kingdom of Li Yestije to support it.
"The king's capital of the Li Yestije Kingdom was attacked by demons? The Golden Princess has even asked the empire workers for help?"
Hearing the information revealed by Hekkeran, Night City was also surprised. Who is the true form called "Adabao"? Night City naturally knew.
Obviously Momonga, Demiurge and the others were about to start singing the double act, but Ye Cheng was surprised, why did the plot progress so fast?
It stands to reason that before the kingdom's capital was attacked by Xiaodi, shouldn't Shalltear be attacked by the "Dark Scripture" and even be controlled by the opponent's "world-class" props?
Now that Shalltear has not suffered a murderous attack, the kingdom is about to fall? What the hell is this?
However, what this guy didn't know was that if the original plot was to be followed, Shalltear would indeed be attacked by the "Dark Scripture".
But the point of the problem is that the current "Dark Scripture" cannot spare its hands to deal with the sudden appearance of vampires.
Due to Night City's prank, Negan and Clementine have now cooperated overtly and covertly to mess up the Theocracy.
"Dark Scripture" is currently busy hunting down the former traitor of the ninth seat, "Wind Breaker", also known as Clementine.
Because Clementine attacked many important personnel of the Theocracy one after another, the Theocracy fell into chaos.
Originally, with the power of the "Dark Sacred Scripture", the opponent's former ninth seat was not a big problem.
However, the point is that Clementine is no longer what she used to be. She holds various powerful props given by Night City. She comes from the "Dark Scripture" and is very familiar with the abilities of her former companions.
Coupled with the assistance of Negan, an internal agent, who knew the behavior of the Theocracy very well, so half a month passed. Although Clementine continued to commit crimes, the church could not do anything about her.
Especially every time after Clementine kills the target, she will say that she is the real apostle of God, and she can obtain such power because she was chosen by the gods.
And the so-called priests and bishops in the Theocracy are nothing more than a group of heretics. Who have the right to judge her?
It is said that when the six chief priests heard this, their noses were almost broken with anger, and they ordered that killing Clementine should be their top priority.
