Chapter 203 Give you a choice
As the director of the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau, Coulibal was treated as a guest by countless nobles and businessmen, but at this time, he was sitting on a narrow bone chair like a criminal on trial. Inside. The protruding bones made his butt hurt, but he didn't dare to complain at all.
"Mr. Claurund, you summoned me to meet me this time. Do you need the help of the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau for something?"
Helot raised his legs and raised his chin. He raised his head slightly and looked down, widening the status gap between the two parties in a very arrogant manner.
Then he said: "You are the director-general of the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau. I am the Imperial Military Police, not an organization. I have no authority to ask you to serve. I invite you here this time. I just have something to say to you. .
After you finish speaking... it's up to you whether you want to listen or not. "
General Coulibal felt great pressure on Hailot, as if he was really being scrutinized by a founding duke.
He changed his words very respectfully: "I personally I am very happy to serve Mr. Claude and Miss Melis. "
This is the right attitude!
Let's deal with each other individually. You just used the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau as a shield. It's better to put this little thought away.
Helot smiled: "You should already know about the formation of the Knights by the Rust Nobles."
"The palace issued a notice allowing the Empire Heavy Industry Committee to establish the Rust Knights to protect the Empire's heavy industry and Important personnel. As an imperial official, I know this matter."
Director Coulibal answered very strictly.
Helot then said: "What do you think the Rust Nobles will do next after they have an army?"
General Couribal did not dare to answer: "I, I don't know. !”
"You don't know? Then I'll tell you!" Helot stared at Couribal, whose face was very ugly. He continued: "The Rust nobles coerced Your Majesty and asked for things that did not belong to them. They also It is clear that these do not belong to them. The car the Rusty Nobles are riding in has lost control. The accelerator is pressed hard and the brakes are removed. They can only rush forward.
Their next step is to annex all factories that are not under their control. , holding all the heavy industries in the empire in their hands. In this way, they have become a presence that no one can shake, even if the imperial power has to bow to them!"
Coulibal's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he finally I couldn't help but said: "Mr. Claude, this is not what I can listen to."
"You can pretend that I didn't say anything, but I will watch what you do! When you stand At a crossroads, don’t rush to choose a direction. The right thing to do is to observe first.
Do you understand? ”
Coulibal replied: "I understand! If the Rust Nobles find me, I know what to do. Can I... leave?"
"Not yet!" Helot raised his finger. , the bone chair stretched out the skeleton hand and tied Coulibal tightly.
Culibal asked in panic: "Mr. Claulund, what are you going to do?"
Helot said: "Earl Secombe was coerced from deep prison. , because he received an organ transplant from a corpse stitcher. I think some officials betrayed the empire in order to live forever.
So I need to check you out! >
I know you are very powerful and this trick cannot trap you, but please do not resist unless you are also a person in deep prison. "
Coulibal wanted to break free and relax the power he had accumulated after hearing Helot's words.
But he did not easily allow Helot to examine him.
"I want to know the truth about the death of Earl Secombe..." Coulibal turned to Melis and said: "I hope Her Royal Highness Princess Maelubelli will tell me personally. ”
After getting permission from Herod, Melis told Coulibal what happened that night.
Finally, he said: "I can swear on the honor of the Erwin family that what I said is what I saw. At that time, Earl Sekom's bleeding amount would only appear if his internal organs were completely broken, and none of us attacked Sekom When we asked for Count Sekom’s body, someone used corpse explosion magic to blow his body to pieces.” It turned into silence, only the small pendulum clock on the table clicked.
Coulibal pondered, recalling all the events that happened in the empire during these days.
Not taking sides?
How is that possible!
After the Rust Nobles gain greater strength, they will definitely attack the emerging businessmen represented by the Tomorrow Group again. As the director-general of the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau, he is their best weapon.
If you cooperate with the Rust Nobles, the Rust Nobles will be able to seize the lifeblood of the empire and become a group that even the imperial power cannot shake. Naturally, you will also have unimaginable privileges.
If I don’t cooperate with the Rusty Nobles, they will definitely regard me as their enemy...
Will your Majesty protect me at that time, or treat me as an abandoned son?
Coulibal calmed down.
"Mr. Claulund..." Coulibal asked Herot: "Why did you come to Covenant City?"
Helot replied: "You can't hide. We can only face it.”
“Who is the Clairund family fighting for now?”
Helot said with a smile: “Of course it is for himself! , I know what you are worried about. You can’t enter the circle of rust nobles!”
Koulibal had an epiphany in an instant!
That’s right, no matter how much you contribute to the circle of rust nobles, you will not be accepted by them.
But what if the Claurends regained their lost glory?
Culibal's heart that had just been calm could not help but beat violently again.
“Okay, I accept your inspection.”
"Very wise!"
Helot stood up and walked towards Koulibal, stretched out his hand to recite the singer's prayer, and a black mist came out of his hand, covering Koulibal's whole body. Go in.
Singer's Prayer is undead magic.
Because death energy is like the mirror image of life energy, some necromancers have discovered that death energy can affect the body of a living being just like life energy. Specifically, it can allow life tissue to survive alone for a long time without the body of a living being.
The next step is body splicing, which is widely used in the spells of corpse stitchers.
It's just that the corpse stitcher didn't know the relationship between death energy and life energy as mirror images of each other. He discovered this characteristic of death energy completely by accident.
During the communication with Master Laem, Herot gained a deeper understanding of the Singer's Prayer and understood why the energy of death can have such an effect on living beings.
Death energy can replace life energy, but it cannot connect with the soul. As long as the soul of a living being exists, it will always reject the organs fed by the energy of death. Therefore, it is absolutely a lie to say that replacing organs can lead to immortality.
If you want the transplanted organs to survive, you must constantly replenish the energy of death. This is the method used by the Deep Prison to control imperial officials.
