Chapter 307 Death Knight: I have never fought in my life, so I have to fight
East London District, Bayford Shipyard.
The port at night is shrouded in gauze mist. Whenever the mist slowly disperses to the sea, a gentle breeze will sweep it towards the shore, preventing it from spreading outwards.
This heavy fog is only in Lundam!
The moonlight shines on the surface of the sea through the light mist, forming a hazy silver halo. The ships in the distance are looming, emitting a faint light, like stars lost in a dream.
The fog returns to the port along with the sea breeze, bringing waves of the salty sea. The quiet harbor is rarely crowded at night, with only the gentle waves lapping at the ships and the distant sound of whistles approaching the shore.
It was very quiet.
Whenever night falls, there are always lights lit in some unknown corners, figures swaying, and whispers of conspiracy.
On the sea not far from the shipyard, a cruise ship marked with the crest of the Bayford family slowly left the port and moved quietly towards the dark and silent sea.
There are not many tourists on the cruise ship, only a few important guests.
The host, Bedford Bedford, hosted a banquet and specially invited a few friends who were not friends. They talked all night long, only about business and not about family and country affairs.
The Bayford family is one of the fourteen Tulip families and has made certain achievements in the fields of business and magic.
In terms of business, the Beford family owns the largest shipyard in London. It has a huge industrial chain and provides food and clothing for millions of workers. Its influence covers all fields and there is no shortage of friends wherever they go.
In the magical world of Windsor, the greatest masterpiece of the Bedford family is Bedford Bedford. On the Queen's side, there are staunch royalists.
The three deputy ministers of the Windsor Ministry of Magic, Orb, Yvette, and Alan, are legendary mages. Among the top leaders, Gangplank, Bonn, Hermann, Celeste, and Bede Fu Fu is also a legendary mage. Among these alone, there are eight legendary mages. The country is strong and worthy of the name of a long-established power.
Moreover, most of these legendary mages come from the Tulip family, the former Tulip Knights, which shows that the royal family has a monopoly on all aspects of Windsor's rule.
Even if one of the two deputy ministers, Orb and Allen, betrays and disappears, the Queen can replace them in the shortest time. Her strength on paper is incredible, her background is long, and she is profound inside and out. Unpredictable.
It is not unreasonable that the Windsor royal family can play a balance and resist the pressure of Heavenly Father and the Holy See for so many years.
Getting back to the subject, the camera returned to the cruise ship. In the gorgeously decorated lobby conference room, Bedford, wearing a mage's robe, had a great time chatting with several guests.
These guests are all from the Tulip family.
Barney of the Boswells, Rupert of the Wilsons, First of the Julians, Woodsons, Cavendishes, Spencers.
Including the Bedford family, the host of the banquet, seven of the fourteen Tulip families were present, occupying half of the country that monopolizes Windsor.
Considering that the traitor Orb caused the Patino family to be hidden, there are only thirteen Tulip families left in the name. Seven is greater than six. The seven families on the cruise ship have an absolute advantage in the voting process.
Not only that, there is also Bonn, the legendary wizard from the Ministry of Magic, on the cruise ship. He has a very good relationship with Gangplank. His appearance here can be regarded as Gangplank's arrival.
Everyone looked around at the teammates around them and realized that with strong troops and horses, there was much that could be done, and they all thought that this was a sure thing.
The organizer Bedford didn't think so. There were still too few guests, the seats were seriously understaffed, and there were actually several tulip families who had illusions about the queen.
In addition, these families present also have their own thoughts, and the risk of being scattered is too great.
For example, Barney of the Boswell family, this guy is too obsessed with making money, and he is probably an undercover agent sent by the Queen;
Rupert of the Wilson family, this guy is competing The next Prime Minister is in urgent need of political capital and is probably an undercover agent sent by the Queen;
The First of the Julian family sells lottery tickets during the day and tobacco at night. In addition to being a secretary, he may He is not an undercover agent sent by the Queen, but he is there nine times out of ten. There is a greater chance of joining in the fun tonight. It will be the same with or without him;
The Woodson family used to be very powerful. Deputy Minister Allen was from the Woodson family, but now it is no longer good. Allen, the mainstay, has disappeared, leaving only a few small fish and shrimps, most likely scraps that the Queen does not like.
After counting, only Cavendish and Spencer were reliable. They had many years of business cooperation, and the Bedford family followed their lead in everything. Bedford was very confident about these two families.
However, these two families do not study magic, they only have considerable influence in the secular world, and they are ignored in the magic world.
What was supposed to come did not come, and everything that was not supposed to come came!
“Didn’t anyone from the Landau family come?”
"How could Auston come? He is the queen's lover. Every time the queen speaks, he takes the lead and rushes to the front. He is not from the same group as us." Rupert said in a strange tone.
“That makes sense!” First nodded repeatedly.
The Wilson family and the Landau family have been at odds with each other recently. Auston gave the Wilson family a blow when he audited the accounts. When the Landau family was choosing their heir, Rupert exposed Wayne's identity as an undercover agent in public.
The two sides went back and forth, and it was Oston's turn to exert his strength again. At the critical moment of selecting the prime ministerial candidate, he cast his precious vote for Rupert's political rival Winston Chute. .
Every time he thinks about this, Rupert gets very angry. What kind of relationship does Auston have with the Queen? They have had a relationship, and this relationship has never been broken.
Rupert, despite his great ability, would not be able to flog the Queen like Auston. He bet that if Winston Chute becomes Prime Minister of Windsor next year, Auston must have secretly discovered it. Stronger.
Damn it, this playboy who only knows how to deceive women!
After Rupert finished speaking, Barney joined in: "Who says it's not the case? Auston is too arrogant. He looks down on us colleagues. His wife is the high priest of the Natural Church, and his son's My lover is the high priest of the Moonlight Church. How can we be qualified to eat at the same table with him?”
“That makes sense!” First nodded repeatedly.
“Last time MI6 gave out accurate files, old boy Cumming swore that Auston’s illegitimate son was not Auston’s biological son. Bah, look at the appearance of their father and son, and look again. The woman between father and son is clearly their biological child." Barney became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the end of his words he slammed the table.
The Boswell family is based on business, focusing on forestry and mining. They have always been thinking about the arms industry. They have had several commercial conflicts with the Landau family, and they are very difficult to deal with.
Putting aside business competition, just look at the family heirs.
Barney's son Owen is a talented man. He is very young at a young age. Barney is very satisfied with his business versatility.
Not afraid of comparisons, but afraid of comparisons. Compared with Auston's son Wayne, Owen can't do this or that. He's just a bad boy who eats, drinks, whores, gambles and plays as a secretary.
Even playing secretary is no match for Wayne!
Not to mention playing with women, look at what kind of women Wayne plays with, a high priest during the day and his sister at night, riding high on the road of scum.
Of course, Auston is still stronger in this aspect. Although he does not have a biological sister, he does have a queen.
“That makes sense!” First nodded repeatedly.
The topic turned to Auston, and the voice in the conference hall suddenly became louder. Except for the First family who joined in the fun and the Woodson family whose influence was declining, the other four families all expressed their opposition to Auston. Stone's deep hatred.
For a time, we became close friends, and because of the common enemy, our relationship became much closer.
Including the organizer Bedford, he was actually very dissatisfied with Auston and strongly agreed with Barney's assessment that Auston was too arrogant.
There are two high priests and a queen in the family. They want magic and magic, and they want power and power. They drifted away and betrayed the Tulip family. They are traitors.
"Actually, you can't say that. Although Auston didn't come, it doesn't mean that he is loyal to the Queen." Bonn, who had been silent for the whole time, slowly spoke.
There were only two legendary mages in the field. As soon as Bonn opened his mouth, everyone stopped being envious and jealous and wanted to hear his opinions.
“The Landau family is not a piece of metal. The family heir, Wayne, is extremely ambitious and is not satisfied with Auston’s long-term oppression. He has been making small moves all the time. He is unable to speak out because of Auston’s suppression. "Bonn looked mysterious as if I had an inside story.
Everyone was curious, waiting for him to continue.
No one refutes Bonn's words. If it were their eldest son holding the high priest in his arms, there would be two voices in the house: father and son.
"I have investigated secretly and the information is reliable. Auston is very loyal to the Queen, but his son Wayne is not and can be won over."
Bonn's intelligence came from Planck. , the latter mentioned something vaguely, and with his own imagination, the plot is very rich: "Understand, Auston is taking sides. He pretends to be deferential to the queen on the surface, but secretly asks his son to reveal completely opposite information to the outside world. He only Loyal to the Landau family.”
Eggs cannot be put in one basket, this principle is the same everywhere.
Especially in troubled times when war breaks out, established families with solid foundations will invest from all parties. No matter who wins in the end, these established families will not lose.
“That makes sense!” First nodded repeatedly.
Don’t be unreasonable! xN
Everyone ignored First and exchanged opinions one after another.
“Auston has a good plan, let us rush to the front, and he will eat from both ends behind.”
"I hate those who sit on the fence the most. This kind of people seems to be a win-win situation, but in fact they offend both sides and often end badly."
"You can't say that. The Landau family has two high priests who can win over each other." Of course it’s best, but if we can’t win over him, it’s okay if the Landau family doesn’t help each other.”
After some discussion, everyone finalized the initial strategy. They don’t like Auston, but if they can win over Auston. , we are still good friends, and the grudges of the past are over with a smile.
“That makes sense!” First nodded repeatedly.
“Bonn, is your information reliable?”
"Of course it's reliable, at least much more reliable than MI6."
"Okay, let's talk about the other Tulip families..."
The fourteen Tulip families were present. Of the seven, the Landau family, the hidden Patino family, there were only five left, namely the Collins family, the Fleming family, the Mueller family, the Turner family, and the Chute family.
Among them, Collins, Muller, and Turner specialize in the field of magic. The Collins family has Deputy Minister Yvette, and the Muller family has Herman, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Light. Although Turner is a small man, Withered, there is only one insignificant Frank, but he is highly regarded by the Queen and is the best hell expert in Windsor. It is almost impossible for these three companies to fight for it.
The remaining Fleming family and Chute family are involved in the military and political fields. The members of the family have average magical attainments, so it is not a big problem.
"Everyone!"
The organizer Bedford looked at everyone and said solemnly: "We are all adults. You all understand the truth. I won't talk nonsense. Let's be straightforward. Today Everyone is willing to come here, not for anything else, but for the benefit of the family.”
“You may have other ideas, but you have also seen that the queen is aggressive and the family is behind us. There is no way out. "
"If even we are undecided, the Tulip family is destined to be brilliant for a while, divided and surrounded by the queen, and then there will be no chance of winning if we act alone! Bedford didn't talk much, but he still made a lot of sense. Everyone either agreed or remained silent, and no one expressed objection.
"It is not difficult to control Yvette with our power, but Herman is a bit troublesome. He is the leader of the Knights of Holy Light and is stationed at St. George's Church in Windsor Castle all year round. If you want to take him down, you must do something." Bede Ford said maybe, and looked at Bonn, who didn't say anything, probably in agreement.
As for Frank, the infernal expert, Bedford did not mention it. Frank's theoretical research is very weird, and his own strength is average. He can just send any gunman to get it done. There is nothing to discuss.
“When the fourteen Tulip families gather together, we can sit down and have a chat with the Queen!”
Bedford outlined a beautiful blueprint: “I know what everyone is thinking , I think the same as everyone else, no one really wants to rebel. We stand together only to protect the rights of the family. We supported the queen before and will support the queen in the future, that’s all.”
"It makes sense!" xN
First's voice was drowned in the crowd. This time he was not alone.
"Bedford, there is something you haven't mentioned. What do the two new deputy ministers say?"
"They are Franks, not Windsors. The Ministry of Magic has no Everyone supports them, except the Queen."
Bedford said unconcernedly: "Don't look at them screaming, but when it comes to a critical moment, they run faster than anyone else. The Queen believes that they are the biggest mistake. , brought us many allies.”
According to Bedford's plan, first control Yvette and Herman, and then win over the Landau family. Fourteen Tulip families will work together to go to the Ministry of Magic to sit down and talk to the Queen. The Queen will definitely understand if she is so kind. Everyone’s concerns.
His plan is a bit unreliable and risky, but the interests of the family are at the forefront, so everyone thinks they can give it a try.
As long as they can capture Yvette and Herman, they are willing to leave.
Bang!
The door of the conference hall was kicked open, and three figures, two men and one woman, walked in slowly.
The three of them were dressed in mage robes. The man leading them was none other than Baron Kimo, the newly promoted commander of the royal guard. He had black hair and black eyes, reflecting the light of the crystal chandelier, and his black eyes flashed with a deep coldness.
The remaining man and woman are about thirty years old and are also new arrivals, Annick and Shady, the newly promoted deputy ministers of the Ministry of Magic.
When the two deputy ministers arrived in Lundam, Baron Kimo was also transferred to Lundam from other places. On the surface, the two deputy ministers were from Frankland. The real situation is difficult to say. The most likely thing is, They are high-level thugs trained by the royal family to deal with emergencies.
For example, the Ministry of Magic rebels and the Tulip family disobeys discipline.
Seeing the appearance of the three people, everyone was shocked. For example, Bonn raised his hands to cover his face and pretended that he did not exist.
Putting this joke aside, although the others were frightened and suspected that there was a traitor in the room, their expressions remained calm, as if they did not take the two legendary mages seriously.
Damn traitor, you informed the Queen of the meeting location without even listening to the content of the meeting. Your family deserves to be dismembered by the Queen.
Bedford was secretly annoyed, his face was calm and calm, he raised his glass and said: "Deputy Minister, you are here just in time, how about we come over and have a drink together?"
" Bedford!"
Douglas looked at everyone coldly and called out their names one by one: "Barney, Rupert, First... you are so loyal to the Queen!"< br>
"Baron Kilmer, I don't know what you are talking about. We are just partying on a cruise ship. How can we be disloyal to the Queen?"
Bedford didn't know Douglas's true identity and was very reluctant. On the other hand, he only knew that his teammates were unreliable and needed a strong voice to take the lead. Therefore, he changed his usual modesty and low-key and said forcefully: "Or, the country has new regulations. During the war, private gatherings are prohibited at night. Anyone who violates it will be punished." Treat it as treason? "
"The country does not have strict regulations for ordinary people, but you are a Tulip family. Not only do you have private gatherings, but you also secretly go to sea. It is hard to say whether it is involved in treason. It needs to be judged by the queen. "
Douglas sneered again and again: "Come back with me. The banquet here is too shabby. The Queen specially prepared a grand banquet for you."
"Baron Kimo, is this really what the Queen meant? You can’t just make it up!”
Bedford muddied the waters and said: "Since you entered Buckingham Palace, the Queen has changed from her usual kindness. I have reason to suspect that you have controlled the Queen and these two deputy ministers. When will the Franks stand above us Windsor people?" Give the order!"
Bedford bit the traitor, and his tough attitude gave all his teammates a shot in the arm. Everyone knew that there was no way to retreat, and they all nodded in agreement.
Bonn secretly had trouble. If he had known about it, he would have sent Gangplank over. He stood next to Bedford and confronted the two legendary mages Annick and Shady.
Two versus two, not afraid of high-end games.
The rest of the people swarmed up, and Jimo was no more than a golden mage, so he could easily take them down.
After taking control of Kimo and finally bringing him to Buckingham Palace, the queen, who is kind and intelligent, will definitely understand that the reason for the disharmony between the monarch and his ministers is that Kimo is causing trouble.
Thinking of this, Bonn felt that this plan was feasible, and looked confused: "Baron Kimo, the magic barrier arranged by the two deputy ministers is very clever. It is so clever that the cruise ship rushed in and we didn't notice it. However, Are you sure the ambush outside can rush in in time to save you?"
Douglas sneered.
Bonn waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't get me wrong, I am loyal to the Queen and I am just worried about your safety. I have no other intentions."
"Master Bonn, outside It’s true that people can’t get in, but I mean they can’t get in. There are some secrets that they shouldn’t know.” Douglas raised his lips and felt extremely funny watching Bonn’s performance.
"Secret?!"
Seeing that Douglas was emboldened and had other trump cards besides the two new deputy ministers, he couldn't help but retreat.
The legendary mage is like this, a strong rider among the wall-riding faction. He will punch hard if he can win, but he will only keep his promise if he cannot win. When he is undecided, he will retreat behind everyone and start worshiping gods. His main focus is stability.
Bedford: (_)
You old thing, why are you standing behind me?
Bedford was almost angered to death by the coward. Although he was also a coward, it did not affect the smile at fifty steps. He glared at Bonn fiercely and said to him: "Baron Kimo, the secret you are referring to is What, your eloquent mouth, or the invisible air?”
Bedford: The secret hasn’t been revealed yet, what are you afraid of?
Bonn: This is called showing weakness to the enemy, it is a tactic!
“Hahaha————”
Douglas laughed loudly, raised his hand and clapped twice: “Open your eyes and see clearly, I will let you die today!”< br>
After the snapping sound, Douglas touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly in humility.
The same goes for the two new deputy ministers. If you look closely, you can see that there is fear in their eyes. The ninety-degree bow cannot be called humble, it can be called humble.
Everyone retreated, Bonn hurriedly protected Bedford in front of him, his eyes fixed on the air.
At the same time, the legendary mage's powerful perception spread out, alerting the surroundings to possible sneak attacks at any time.
Ten seconds later.
“...”
With this smile, the atmosphere of military encounter disappeared. Bedford immediately stopped panicking and laughed loudly.
“Baron Kimo, your acting skills are so good!”
"Where is this clown from? He's from out of town. He really made me laugh."
"Look at him, he's dripping with sweat!"
"Hahaha————" xN
Amid the laughter, it was Douglas's turn to be nervous. The clapping of his hands as promised was a secret signal, why was the death knight missing?
Am I being cheated?
"Jiejiejiejie——"
A hearty laughter suddenly broke into the strange laughter. The dark portal swayed with cold light in front of Douglas, and the death knight came riding the undead war horse. Arrived at the venue.
Everyone retreated one after another, feeling cold in their hearts, trying desperately to occupy the seats in the back row and give up the C position to their accomplices.
"Sir Knight, you are finally here."
Douglas was slightly resentful. Just now, he really thought that the Death Knight would let him go.
It happened once, and it happened twice. Every time, it was just a human being, and the character of the Death Knight was too difficult to deal with.
"There was a traffic jam at the portal, which delayed the time for a while."
Wayne casually threw out an unreliable reason, the skull face flashed with white light, and he looked down at the Tulip family members in the field.
He is not Alston, and has limited knowledge of the Tulip family. Therefore, although there are many talents present, he knows only a few.
"Death Knight, why are you here?"
Bedford was sweating coldly, and his heart was already cold. At the same time, he was sad and curious about how much the queen had to pay to persuade the chosen knight.
You can open your mouth, the Tulip family will give you as much as the queen can give, and double it.
"Jie Jie Jie, don't be afraid, I'm just an ally of the Queen, I'm not here to target you."
Wayne pulled out the Shadow Nightmare and pointed at the two legendary mages: "Goddess Heart Good, I don’t want to see meaningless death. As a death knight, I resolutely implement the goddess’s oracle, so..."
"I have never fought in my life, so I have to resolve fights. Today I am here to mediate. .”
"Give me some face and go to the Queen's banquet. Stop fighting, okay?"
"..."xN
See what you said, put the artifact away quickly, we How can I refuse you?
Everyone lamented that the appearance of the Death Knight meant that the overall situation was decided. Even if they had the means, they could only surrender obediently and go to the Queen's banquet to wait for their fate.
“It makes sense!”
First nodded repeatedly and quickly came to Douglas. Ashamedly, he was the undercover agent.
