Chapter 232 The Third Prince
After Earl Garr sat down, a smile of success appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the current situation, the Rust Knights had to give up the Sicome family. Fortunately, they and the Deep Prison had made plans for this kind of situation. The Imperial Military Police, Count Chasicome, would not find other heads. superior. It's just a pity that he didn't get Klam back. I don't know if he told anyone else the secret.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward and subtle.
Helot did not expect that Count Gard would dare to reveal the disgraceful things the royal family had done in front of the third prince, and it could even be said that he would do it directly to his face. Since Count Garr is the new talker chosen by the Rust Nobles, his attitude naturally represents the attitude of the Rust Nobles.
This is going to put the Claude family on fire!
Helot did not respond, because no matter how he responded, he would fall into the old guy's trap. Let's see how the third prince dealt with this old guy.
Terenas did not let his emotions affect him. He knew that the empire was now facing a crisis, and there were signs that the Blood Rebellion might reappear. And it is unclear whether those nobles who once sided with the royal family still side with the royal family.
At least the Rust nobles are provoking the imperial power.
My father's distrust of the nobles made him start to pay attention to the royal family members. Some time ago, he convened a family meeting with the princes, and almost every prince was assigned a task. As one of his father's favorite sons, he was entrusted with the important task of taking over the Imperial Military Police Headquarters.
In the past, princes would never be allowed to touch the imperial military police, because whichever prince controlled this special department of the empire would undoubtedly occupy a good position when fighting for inheritance rights in the future.
The tragedy of brothers killing each other has not happened before in the history of the empire.
Now my father no longer cares about so much. What he is facing is not a simple rebellion. Once the descendants of the founding duke who should have been exterminated appear, it will definitely cause division and confrontation among the imperial aristocracy. And according to the clues that have been discovered, as well as the attitudes of some nobles, it shows that what they were worried about has become a reality.
Combined with the Blood Rose card found at the Imperial Military Police Headquarters...
They are really back!
Terenas couldn't help but glance at Herot.
The Claurend family is the only family that did not participate in the Blood Rebellion. Its continuity is uninterrupted and its legitimacy is unquestionable. Both the royal family and the rebels are trying to win him over to their side, and currently Helot's attitude is leaning towards the royal family.
After careful consideration in his mind, Terenas said: "Of course the Claurend family has supreme honor. The empire has recorded these honors in textbooks. It has been this way for hundreds of years. .
My father is using Helot to serve the empire this time because he wants to give the royal family a chance to make up for the mistakes made by his ancestors. I think your majesty must really want to put the crown of the Duke of the Dead on its owner. Let’s start a new chapter in the friendship between the Bradley family and the Claude family.
Is it...brother Hailot?”
Helot immediately became the focus of everyone in the room, including the Imperial Military Police and Rust Knights standing on both sides. They were also curious about how the current patriarch of the legendary family would respond to becoming a Duke again.
"You are right, His Highness Terenas." Helot said casually, as if talking about an insignificant matter: "The empire has always remembered the contribution of the Claulund family. I am indeed serving the empire. As for the crown of the Duke of the Dead...that thing is too heavy for me to bear now."
Hilot's answer was evasive, and he did not show that he wanted to ask for the Duke of the Dead. The title also leaves enough space for whether it will be needed in the future.
Helot then immediately changed the subject and said to Count Gall: "You have nothing to do here anymore. You can take your people and leave without affecting the Imperial Gendarmerie's handling of the case!"
< br>The tone is extremely tough.
Aren’t you looking up to the Clorend family?
Then be obedient!
Seeing that his provocation was resolved by Terenas and Herot in a tacit understanding, Count Garr knew that he could not change anything by staying here. He stood up and saluted the three, then grabbed the hammer and led the Rust Knights away.
After a while, the Imperial Military Police came in and reported: The Rust Knights had all withdrawn.
Terenas breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I used to be an idle prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. I never thought that I would suddenly take over such an important department of the Imperial Military Police. I just faced Count Garr, my heart has been beating wildly, I am afraid that he will pick up the hammer and hit me when he is angry
Fortunately, you are here, giving me a lot of courage. If you want to eat something, I will send someone to get it... We will chat here while our servants search. "
Helot and Melis respectively told what they wanted to eat, and Terenas immediately sent his men to buy it.
Then Terenas asked: "What is Klam? What do you know? "
Helot replied: "It has something to do with the theft of the tomb of the founding Duke! I don't want to touch this difficult case. If His Highness the Third Prince wants to take over, I can tell you the news I know. "
"Don't tell me! Terenas immediately refused: "Father told me that your Thirteenth Investigation Team is responsible for investigating this case. I can only cooperate with you and never interfere in the investigation." ”
"You don't want me to tell you this, it's not that I won't tell you."
Terenas' curiosity made him feel uncomfortable all over. He really wanted to know the secret, but he also knew that once he knew it, he would have to bear the responsibility of knowing it. consequences. However, the case of the theft of the founding Duke's tomb was too involved. He had just taken over the Imperial Military Police Headquarters. If he was dragged into this big case, he would have no control over what would happen next.
The most important thing for me now is to control the Imperial Military Police as soon as possible and hide behind the scenes to observe the attitudes of all parties in the Empire instead of rushing to the front line.
My father put Herot in charge of investigating this case because he knew that this case would come to him, so he had to be on the front line. Some secrets cannot be known.
"Yes! You are responsible for this case, and I will never interfere on my own initiative."
Helot was a little disappointed with Terenas' answer. If he could drag the third prince into trouble, he would definitely be able to get out of this case.
Once Kram is sent out of the empire, the torturers should be able to guess that the perfect blade has fallen into their hands, and they will definitely come to ask for it.
The troubles are getting more and more, and the pit is getting deeper and deeper...
"Let's talk about the discovery of the Secombe family, and of course the Rust Nobles. There must be quite a few among them. Some people are working for the Deep Prison.”
Terenas also turned his attention to the current matter. He thought for a moment: "I think Count Gal is very suspicious. And the housekeeper... Count Gal looked at her at least four times in a short period of time. I admit it. The housekeeper is indeed a beauty, but she would not let Count Garr frequently observe a servant on such an important occasion.
Is the housekeeper a corpse stitcher in the prison? ”
Mei. Liz replied: "Yes! We have fought against Ofilis. She is a corpse stitcher with extraordinary strength of level two."
But Herot said: "I think Ofilis It’s not just the corpse stitcher.”
Melisse looked at Helot and said in confusion: “But the cavalry said that Ophelia has always been keeping the transplanted organs alive for Count Sekom. .”
Terenas asked curiously: "Who is the Iron Rider?"
"One of my retainers." Herot did not explain much about the identity of the Iron Rider and continued to talk about Ophelis: "Ophelis It’s true that she is a corpse stitcher, but she is also a genetic mutant.”
Melisse: “I don’t understand this kind of post-sequence power. How did you conclude that she is a genetic mutant?”
“Obviously! Her extra hands are not corpse puppets at all, nor are they organ transplants. Although I studied energy mechanics, I also took some biomedical courses.
I remember once reading a paper on multi-limbs, which mentioned using myriapod genes to combine with human genes to give people more limbs to improve work efficiency. ”
Terenas also received modern education and knew Helot's purpose in telling this information.
“You mean that not only are there people in the Rust Nobles colluding with the Deep Prison, but there are biomedical groups that are related to the Deep Prison? It seems that we have to face an opponent who is more powerful than we thought.”< br>
Terenas looked sad.
In today's world, the influence of biomedical groups exceeds that of energy machinery groups in some aspects. Because most people are not yet eligible to enjoy the fruits of energy machinery, while the fruits of biomedicine involve the interests of every citizen of the empire.
Everyone gets sick, and you should see a doctor when you are sick.
Farmers cannot farm without high-yielding seeds and fertilizers that increase yields.
There are also meat, cloth...many things that go unnoticed, all come from the results of modern biomedical research.
Genetic mutants are just post-sequence powers developed by the biomedical group by concentrating the most advanced technologies, which is the same process as the energy machinery group's development of mechanically modified humans.
If a large biopharmaceutical group is involved and cooperates with the Rust Aristocrat Group, it will be equivalent to strangling the empire's neck with one hand and grabbing the empire's high pill with the other.
At this time, the Imperial Military Police who went out to buy late night snacks came back.
The exquisite food box was opened, and inside it was the food that three people had just ordered for themselves.
Terenas looked at the plate of foie gras with sauce in front of him without any appetite. He smiled bitterly and said: "No wonder Earl Garr was so arrogant just now. They really have the qualifications to speak to us with loud voices. "
Helot grabbed the fried chicken he ordered, dipped it in black pepper and ate it, saying, "This has just begun, and the Rusty Noble is just a pawn that they pushed forward.
I really suggest that you listen to what Kram knows and why the Hell is so anxious to ask for him, so that you can understand who the Empire is facing. ”
Terenas. Knowing that when the food was delivered to him, it must have been checked by a dedicated poison tester, he picked up a knife and fork and cut the foie gras to eat.
"No... I just need to know the secrets I should know. You are responsible for your case. As long as I am still in charge of the Imperial Military Police, I will firmly support you."
