Chapter 493 third party
第150章 无从拒绝的筹码
The prince and the duke, both of them were silent for a while.
表情难看地盯着那只黑色的戒指。
“So this is what you are doing today.”
属于“毒药皇帝”的凯旋。
Thales pulled out the dagger that was tied to the bed, threw a flower in the air, and grasped the handle accurately between the front blades. After a lot of fighting, the movement became more skilled and simple.
他不知道该用什么情绪来面对这件事。
Looking at the prince’s move, Cyril’s eyes narrowed.
那场跌宕起伏、在最后精彩逆转的决斗,那场可说关乎两国命运的决斗,居然……
Thales picks up the tip and sinks for a while:
“所以,”几秒后,他才艰难地道:“在决斗中,你就是……这样‘凯旋’的?”
“You want to pull me to join you and become a third party outside the two camps. Between the shackles of the stalker and the spurs of the stalwart, hold the starry carriage that runs faster and faster?”
努恩王轻轻一笑,目光里露出狡黠和快意。
third party.
“如你所言,”他把刚刚
的话,原封不动地还给第二王子:“毕竟,事关这么大的一个国家呢,万一有个闪失怎么办?”
That moment, as if the clouds in the sky covered the sun, the interior faded.
的思绪一片混乱。
The Duke’s hands were pressed and pressed on the crutches.
他刚刚在心底里、从那场决斗中建立起来的,那个豪迈、壮烈、年老却不失英雄气魄的努恩七世的形象。
“The horse will not succumb to the iron whip, and the prostitute will not give up the whipping,” he said sharply:
轰然倒塌。
“And the person in the carriage, no matter who it is, can’t sit and let it fall apart.”
取而代之的,是一个老谋深算,狡计百出,在长桌后转动着戒指的老国王。
Thales gently flicks the blade between the fingers.
“记住了,小
,”努恩王意味深长地道:“一个国王,永远不该头脑发热,用冲动代替理智,只为快意而诉诸毫无把握的豪赌——你不仅仅是你自己,还是整个国家。”
“and so.”
没有理会他的话,他的大脑此刻飞速转动着。
Thales snorted and rudely pointed the tip to the Duke:
好半晌,
才从震惊里回过神来,竭力从纷乱的思维里抓住几条线索。
“All of this, including your inexplicable appearance, is that the sword is threatening to be alarmist, and that the language is long-lasting, is it for this moment?”
按照他一路上对北地的了解,这个秘密一旦泄露,就会让努恩王成为万人唾骂的标靶。
Thales stared at Cyril with a smiley smile.
这足以毁掉
家族的名声,终结
的统治,乃至危及整个
特王国和所有
的尊严。
Cyril looked at him for a while and snorted.
但是……
“Do you think I will pull a 14-year-old nephew on the street and tell him about it?”
转过头,看着不言不语,表情复杂的努恩王,难以置信地道:“为什么告诉我?”
Cyril cold and cold:
这难道不该是永远烂在肚子里,带进坟墓里的绝密吗?
“If I can’t confirm what kind of person you are, if you are just an incompetent soft egg with low eyes and low greed, if you are just an impulsive little boy who is raised by the north with muscles, if you are just squatting After reading a few catalogues of history books, I think I am idiots who know the truth of the universe…”
“你知道这个秘密有多严重吗?”
感觉自己的心跳加速,不自觉地轻轻捏拳。
Thales eyebrows pick one.
然而努恩王只是不慌不忙地看着
,露出愉快的笑容——丝毫没有把柄被人知晓后的严肃紧张。
The duke looked at him with a squint and dismissed the truth:
“当然,”努恩王轻轻一嗤,毫不在意地道:“这是对北地之道最大的玷污,甚至是对神灵的不敬,对大公们的蔑视。”
“Then you don’t deserve to say so much.”
“即便是最卑微的
,也会为这件事而不齿他们曾经最爱戴的国王——一旦新王即位,他更是可以用这个理由,将
家族永远驱逐出大公的行列。”
The teenager is slightly wrong.
言毕,努恩王眼睛微眯,表情深沉地看着
。
Thales breathed a sigh of relief and threw the dagger back under the pillow:
“现在,你却知道了这个秘密,不是么?”国王语气玩味地道。
“You know, if you want to draw me in a way that boast me, you can actually use some better words.”
皱起眉头,他顶着努恩王的目光,心里的疑惑和不安越来越深。
I saw the West Duke open as if he had missing a piece of fleshy lips, and he smiled sullenly, like a dry corpse opening.
“努恩陛下,你,你到底想要做什么?”
“Reliably, there is no shortage of beautiful words in your ears. The return of the prince is a top priority for shaking the stars. No amount of light will focus on you.”
那个瞬间,
觉得眼前的老人像一个黑沉沉的漩涡,深不见底。
I saw Cyril squinting:
而他自己就像漩涡中的一叶扁舟。
“But you must be more careful and alert.”
几秒钟后。
“The powerful aristocratic lords will rush to find you, woo the princes who have not returned to the country, and use all means to get you to stand on their side and turn you into a pioneer against the Renaissance Palace.”
“这是一份诚意。”
The tone of Falkenhaus has changed:
老国王淡淡道。
“Before accepting their kindness, please remember: they are only against your father, but you are not really loyal to you.”
“诚意?”
疑惑地重复了一遍。
Thales is silent.
努恩王舀起一杯酒,好整以暇地喝了一口。
He suddenly remembered the words of the fast rope.
“我给出了一个筹码,”努恩王表情淡定,语气从容:
[The shackles of power. 】
“而你只要握着这个筹码,就随时能让
家族万劫不复。”
How can he do it… a different way of living?
“什么意思?”
心中的迷惑有增无减。
After reading this, Thales took a deep breath and looked up:
就在此时,努恩王的话锋又是一转。
“They won’t succeed.”
“之前,你似乎跟尼寇莱提过,”努恩王没有在意
的表情,他轻声道:
Cyril disdain shook his head:
“你配合我找出黑手之后,想跟我要点好处?”
“When I say ‘catch up’, I mean more than just knocking on the door.”
眉头一动,微微咬牙。
Thales frowned and turned his lips:
“这就是你所谓的好处?”
有些艰难地反问道。
“Of course, maybe it involves intimidating the sword, and then telling me, ‘Can the carriage not fall apart?'”
“当然不是,这怎么能算好处,”努恩王失笑道:“这只会让你忐忑不安——尤其你还在
,在我统治范围之内的时候——为了这个秘密,你会时刻担忧自己的安危。”
This time it was the silence of Cyril.
做了一次深呼吸,只觉得口舌干燥。
After a few seconds, the Duke was faintly authentic:
他此刻的心情可谓如坐针毡。
“You know, some words can only be nonsense to most people in the world.”
“龙枪家族从不吝啬,”老国王收起笑容,他的话只让
心中发寒:“所以,昨天下午见过之后,你对自己的‘奖赏’还满意吗?”
Thales suddenly got confused.
猛地抬头。
Cyril scorned:
“昨天下午?”
眉头蹙紧。
“Remember what I said today.”
“对,”努恩王神情深邃地看着他:“昨天下午。”
He held out his fingers and shook his mouth:
脸上的表情变了。
“All.”
昨天下午。
Cyril’s eyes are glowing:
他从英雄厅里出来后,在英灵宫里迷路了,然后……
“In case you have a day to use it.”
然后。
He paused for a second, quite wickedly lifting his lips:
“怎么,你以为一个初来乍到的外国王子,”在
难以置信的目光下,老国王抚摸着手上的戒指,慢慢开口:
“All.”
“能够自由自在、不受约束地,在我的英灵宫里瞎逛?”
Thales stared at the Duke of this look, and his heart became uncomfortable.
努恩王瞥视
,眼中厉芒一闪:“还恰巧逛到了
的藏书室?”
But Cyril quickly changed the subject:
的心里咯噔一声,木然地怔在原地。
“Beyond these, you have to be careful with your father.”
“那是迈尔克故意引你到那儿去的,”努恩王从容平淡地道:
father.
“所以你见过我的孙女了,
。”
The nerves of Thales are slowly tightened.
下一秒,
呆呆地坐在台阶上,听着从容自在的努恩王轻声道:
The strong figure in his mind reappeared, reminding him of the suffocation of facing each other.
“你未来的妻子……”
The voice of the duke echoed in the ear, with a different meaning:
“和王后。”
“As you grow older, maybe he will realize that you are no longer the poor child, maybe he will try to win you as a father and control you with the power of the king.”
大厅里重新安静下来。
“but……”
呆若木鸡地定在原地。
The tone of Falkenhaus changed again, but he suddenly fell silent, and it seemed as if he had entered the cloudy sky in an instant, and it was raining.
他的脑海里,出现了那个藏书室里的情景。
He stared at Thales tightly, his horrible face with cold eyes, and the latter was tight.
那位刁蛮任性,随意打骂仆人的小公主,阿莱克斯·
。
“When six years ago, Eckstedt changed dramatically, when Nunn VII died and the news of the political reshuffle of the Northland came to the stars, everything was shocked.”
但随之出现的,还有另一个印象更加深刻的身影——那个******的,满脸灰尘,趴在地上看书的邋遢小女孩。
The duke’s tone and rhythm have become heavy and slow, reminding Thales of the Putility when it comes to poetry:
小滑头。
“Who can think of it, obviously a few months ago, our old bones are still in the air, but we are afraid that the northern part of the country will go south again.”
努恩王没有再说话,他不慌不忙地又喝了一口酒。
Cyril sighed softly and pointed to Thales:
花了整整一分钟,来理清当前的事态。
“There are people. Some people just sneak a slap in the face of the tyrannical and aggressive dragon kingdom, and they are riddled with riddled holes.”
“为什么,怎么回事?”
呼吸急促,他抬起头:“你这是什么意思?”
“You know, what does that mean?”
努恩王轻轻吸了一口气,抬头看向大厅另一侧的壁炉。
Strong and unconstrained, aggressive…
看向壁炉上的壁架,那把自英雄
手中传承至
家族的狰狞兵器。
I’m so riddled with holes, I’m not worried about it…
戮魂枪。
What does it mean?
“在你向奥勒修他们所说的谎言里,至少有一句话说对了,”努恩王的双眼里燃烧着不知名的情绪:
Thales can’t help but think of the nightmare in Dragon Clouds City.
“为了
的延续……”
Dragon blood.
老国王转过头,锋利的眼神定在
的身上,表情坚定:
He looked at his own Cyril and unnaturally cleared his throat:
“我必须把赌注押在一个强者,一个未来的国王身上。”
“You are too high to see me.”
脸色煞白,他的拳头握得越来越紧。
The prince sighed:
他突然想通了什么。
” Six years ago, it was just an accident, it was a tragedy, and I have no credit in it…”
努恩王没有说话,他在等待
的回应。
Cyril interrupted him coldly: “I didn’t say it was your credit.”
“
家族正在死亡,”好一会儿,
才默默出声:
“Less self-love.”
“你想用联姻的方式,逼着
王室和
,来保全龙枪家族的存续?”
Thales was stunned by this sentence and his face became quite ugly.
“你想让我和你的孙女联姻,”
不自觉提高了语调:
The unpopular duke is cold and cold:
“让我,让
来接过这个负担?”
“As I said, from the end of the battle to the bloody year, Falkenhaus has followed Jadestar since ancient times.”
努恩王捏着自己的酒杯,望着那把戮魂之枪。
He pointed to the ancient sword that was leaning against the wall.
他轻哼一声,似乎不以为然。
“In the past seven hundred years, the warnings have witnessed a lot of history,” Cyril was extremely dignified:
“不,”国王苍老的嗓音重新响起:“我所给予你们的,是一个千载难逢的机会。”
“More than you think.”
“一个无从拒绝的筹码。”
Thales felt the cold eyes of Cyril, and an ominous premonition came.
顿时一个激灵。
“So I know.”
“想想看你们能获得什么吧,”努恩王的眼底布满了深邃和冰冷:
Just listen to the Duke’s whisper:
“作为
大公家
缘姻亲,星辰的至高王室……”
“Dragon Clouds City’s so-called ‘disasters come to life’, that is definitely not an accident, or a rare coincidence.”
“从此得以插手
特王国的内务。”
The disaster has come to an end.
那个瞬间,
的心中一片冰寒。
Not an accident.
“你和我孙女的后代,有一人将继承
的姓氏与权利,成为未来的
大公,”努恩王语气冷淡,像是在说着一件和自己毫不相关的事情:
At that moment, Thales pressed his thighs tightly.
“而你,
·
,你将做到合守誓者
四世和英雄
两人之力都做不到的事情。”
Fortunately, Cyril did not look at him again.
“你将成为
的至高国王……”努恩王面容不变,说出让
心乱如麻的话:
The Duke adults walked to the edge of the window and looked at the camp faintly:
“兼
特王国里的第一领地
的——摄政。”
“Although they are subtly concealed and blurred, rendered and whitewashed, and then lengthened over time, they eventually become passers-by hearsay and bedtime stories…”
恍恍惚惚地盯着努恩王。
“But I know that they exist and are real.”
即便他拥有着与这个世界其他人都格格不入的记忆,即使他的大脑正疯狂地运转,面对这个消息,他也没法立刻反应过来。
Exist, and true.
“而在此之前,”老国王的脸色前所未有地严肃起来:
Thales breathed a sigh of relief.
“你们如果还想握住
家族这块筹码,还想用
来掣肘
特王国……”
He breathed deeply and covered up the changes in mood.
颓然地吐出一口气,接过努恩王的话头:
Cyril’s voice is sharper and more urgent:
“我和
,就必须竭尽全力,保证
家族在
的统治和地位,保护龙枪家族不在
特消亡,对么?”
“And every time they appear, they are inseparable from our world.”
努恩王露出满意的笑容。
The next moment, the West Duke guardian turned wildly, and his eyes were as direct as Thales!
“如果将来的新王打算用‘没有男性继承人’这样的理由,来剥夺
家族的权利,他就得掂量掂量,”努恩七世继续道:
“No matter what happened to Dragon Clouds City, it was your father.”
“南边那个西陆之盾的态度——他动的是你们的奶酪。”
He is arrogant:
努恩王露出坚定的眼神:“你们需要做的,是彰显星辰的存在,维持
家族——哪怕只剩下一个小女孩,哪怕其他大公再怎么反对她——的统治,就能在日后收获面对
特时的最大筹码与优势。”
“He and Morate, the old viper, in some way.”
“这还能同时加强
家族在国内的份量和地位,提高王室的声望——鉴于你们目前的态势。”
It is what your father did.
突然想起自己初到
厅时,
用计谋为他定下与
·
的盟约时,他们之间的谈话。
Thales quietly looked back at the other side, enduring the bloody memories of the back and forth in his mind.
“用利益的捆绑来争取盟友,”
无意识地低声复述着
的话:“这就是政治的精髓。”
But no matter how he ignores it, he still can’t help but think of those pictures:
“我还能再活个八九年,那时候星辰应该会初步恢复元气,”努恩王赞许地点点头:“在那之后,
家族最后的直系后裔,我的孙女,你的妻子……”
The blue light in Asda’s eyes, the purple lines on Giza’s face, the tears between the small cheeks, the black Sword’s scarred body, and the unusual mouth on Raphael’s arm.
“就交给你来庇护。”
as well as……
久久没有出声。
King Noon fell to the head of the ground.
联姻。
“Your father’s board is ruthless, and you don’t know how his next step will go.”
星辰与
特。
“Is it to ignore the rules, or to smash the board.”
与
。
At this time, the Duke’s face was serious and his tone was indifferent:
“如果我说‘不’呢?”他冷冷地抬起头,看着努恩王:“如果我不想被卷入这个危险的泥潭呢?”
“Child, be strong.”
“与龙共舞者,往往命悬一线,而且,”第二王子淡淡地道:“迄今为止,想跟我结盟的人,不是把我害得很惨,就是被我害得很惨。”
“Don’t be a piece of chess that is arbitrarily and casually sacrificed.”
还有——
想起
·
在他出发北上那一天,对他说过的话——与豺狼同船,必有覆舟之险。
Arbitrarily at the mercy.
努恩王凝视着他,碧色的眼眸里蕴藏奇怪难辨的色彩。
Feel free to sacrifice.
毫不示弱地对视着国王。
Feeling the obvious provocation of the other side, Thales took a deep breath and spit it out slowly.
“这与你的意愿无关,”终于,老国王缓缓颔首:
“I am his heir, my interests are consistent with him.”
“带着国王手令的信鸦明天就会飞往
城——由你的父亲来决定这件事。”
The prince’s tone was quite a bit rejected.
不由自主地浑身一颤。
“My safety is related to the stability of his rule.”
“如果他……我的父亲也不答应呢,”
咬着牙,听见自己嘶哑的嗓音:“不答应把星辰带入这个泥潭?”
“And he is my father.”
“噢,这个啊,”老国王毫不在意地答出一句话:“我给了你‘凯旋’的秘密,不是么。”
But this is another spur of Cyril:
瞳孔一缩,怔怔地看着他。
“Who knows.”
“星辰随时能用这个筹码来毁灭
家族——这足以取信他,”努恩王用他苍老而劲道十足的嗓音,缓慢地吐字:
The Duke of Falkenhaus is cold and cold:
“你发现了一份宝藏,可能会顾虑那是陷阱而放弃它,但当你同时拥有毁灭它的能力时……你还会被自己的顾虑说服,选择放弃它吗?”
“Four hundred years ago, ‘Empowering King’ Elan Jadestar I had sacrificed to sacrifice the gods in order to pray for victory.”
一时无言以对。
Kill the gods.
面对这样一位
特国王,面对这样的境况,纵然八面玲珑如他,也产生了“招架不住”的感觉。
Thales breathed a stagnation and pinched his fist.
他的直觉也告诉他——
王一定会同意这样的盟约的。
The duke looked into the distance and had a long tone:
“但‘凯旋’这个筹码的效力,会随着你的死亡而逐渐褪色,”
深吸一口气,顺着老国王的话说:
“And every day, your father is creating a new history.”
“使用‘凯旋’所带来的利益会越来越小,相比之下,
……我的父亲一定会更倾向于联姻所能带来的利益,倾向于更大力度地支持
,确保
的地位……”
Thales closed his eyes.
“并收获一根钉在巨龙国度内部的钉子,一改
在血色之年后的颓势!”努恩王眉毛一挑,重新在酒桶里舀起一杯酒,灌进喉咙。
“Your father and his enemies…”
“我猜,
特国内的贵族们不会高兴的,”
颓然道:
“Six years ago, because of your appearance, the first leg was divided.”
“包括每一位大公。”
“But six years later, the second round begins on the day you return to the country.”
“当然不会——他们每个人都恨不得看着
没落。”努恩王的眼中闪过精芒,他放下酒杯,擦了擦自己的嘴。
The duke’s tone is somewhat afraid of people:
“但我才是
特的国王,而我会为我们的合作清除掉最后的障碍,”努恩王冷静地回答他:“
的役龄男人们,在未来几年都不会平静——解决掉伦巴,只是一个开始。”
“And that will never be easier.”
瞬间想通了。
The room was silent again.
从尼寇莱的试探,到国王给他的所谓“考验”。
Until Thales slowly opened his eyes.
“所以,”说到这里,
叹了一口气:“你早就把一切都算计好了。”
“So, the Duke, neither a nobleman nor a third party to the royal power.”
“别把我与那些蝇营狗苟,见不得人的阴谋渣滓们混为一谈,”努恩王不满地轻哼一声:“这不是阴谋,而是——用一个远东的词来说——阳谋,一个你无从拒绝的筹码。”
Cyril’s eyes were awkward, and he felt that the prince at this moment was a little different.
“对,”
垂下头,一股难言的失落感从他心底升起:“所有这些算计、阴谋和阳谋……或者之类的什么东西。”
“If that day really comes,” Thales looked straight at him:
“你们都很擅长这个。”
“Can I count on your strength?”
就像他第一次在
厅见到那位
王时一样,
再次感受到,那种命运和选择被他人牢牢操诸手中的无奈和无力。
The two were silent for a while.
那种随波逐流,随风飘荡的无力感。
As if they all know what this moment means.
努恩王静静注视着他。
After a few seconds, the Duke slowly opened his mouth without a smile on his face:
半晌,在火光的照耀下,老国王缓缓开口。
“If I am the one-eyed dragon on the cliff, I will say ‘can’.”
“你是个特别的孩子,
,”努恩王叹了一口气,嗓音里露出明显的沧桑感:“我能感觉得到——你同时有着苏里尔的敏锐坚定,和摩苏尔的不切实际。”
Thales snorted in the nose:
敏锐坚定。
“But you are not.”
不切实际。
The duke slowly nodded and then shook his head:
“哼,多谢夸奖,”
疲倦地回答,还轻笑一声:“我想,你大概觉得后者居多?”
“I’m not.”
谈起两位亡子的努恩王,淡淡地吸入一口气,缓缓吐出。
The prince sighed.
“你并不弱小,
,即使你只有这点年纪,”老国王语重心长地道:“从我对你的观察,和尼寇莱他们的回报中来看——你是个生存者,拥有成为一个强者的一切素质,但你需要的是时间,是磨砺。”
of course.
努恩王握指成拳,敲了敲自己的左心口:“以及一颗足够坚硬、冷酷、毫不动摇的心。”
He understood.
坚硬、冷酷、毫不动摇的心?
But Thales immediately thought of something and snorted.
皱起眉头,他再也忍受不住,张口问道:“你难道不会觉得累吗?宫廷、国家、大公,阴谋、诡计、刺杀,所有这些……天知道什么鬼东西还在等着你。”
“Do you know, Northlanders doesn’t ask ‘can’.”
从
逃出来……一直到现在。
The prince’s tone is quite nostalgic:
、
、血族、鸢尾花、
、六大豪门、
特……
“They just ask ‘do not do it.'”
一次次地面对恶意,面对危机,面对让人心累的阴谋和算计。
The duke could not help.
纵然
一次次地在期间挣扎过来,他也感觉,自己快到极限了。
But after a few seconds, Falkenhaus laughed:
这种生活的节奏,让
心力交瘁——连废屋里的乞儿生涯,都没有让他产生这种“前路艰难”的感觉。
“Sometimes I am very grateful to Northlanders – even if I have no brains, at least we have an interesting prince for us.”
“我猜,”说到这里,
犹豫了一下,还是脱口而出:“如果摩拉尔王子真是佩菲特所言的那种人,他也会觉得累吧。”
Thales also laughed:
努恩王的表情缓缓僵住了,眼里翻滚着深沉的情绪。
“This is the third time you have smashed them. Why do you hate Northlanders?”
场中沉默了几秒。
The Duke of Cyril paused for a moment and his face looked complicated.
“你感觉到累,这很正常,每个人都会累。”努恩王终于慢慢开口。
“Because my mother is a Northlanders.”
“可是对于我们而言,当你感觉到累,想停下来,甚至想放弃时,你就会感觉到……”他捂着自己受伤的肩膀,在疼痛中粗粗地喘了一口气:“痛楚。”
Thales stunned.
“无论是被卷入浪潮,无力自主的痛楚,还是敌人见你软弱可欺,所给予你的痛楚。”
The Duke’s Lord looked at Thales and gestured with his fingers: “Give you a message…”
努恩王抿起嘴唇,似乎在回忆着什么:
“Don’t learn me.”
“那种深入骨髓的痛楚,把你重新推回厌倦的战场,继续在疲累与痛楚中来回,直到你习惯这一切。”
In a word, the Thales reaction, the West Duke, laughed loudly.
“这是我们生来就要背负的东西,不仅仅是我们,”老国王面无表情,继续道:
In the sharp and mean laughter of the other party, Thales’s face gradually cooled down.
“成为大公前,奥勒修曾经两次被他的异母弟弟下毒;特卢迪达娶了一个山蛮部落的粗鲁女人作妻子,只为他那贫瘠的再造塔开拓一块叹息山里的荒地;老秃头莱科曾经为了维持财政,忍痛将自己的小女儿远嫁康玛斯,直到她凄惨地客死异乡;罗尼在成为大公的当天亲自下令,在领地上处决了六名飞扬跋扈的伯爵和子爵,都是他父亲生前最信任的人;而伦巴更是当着所有人的面,把剑刺进同胞兄长的心脏,夺取大公之位的无情存在——但他们都一次次,在痛楚与疲累中归来。”
“How do I know?”
“你也是么?从痛楚和疲累中归来?”
低垂着目光:“比如你的儿子?”
The duke’s laughter came to an abrupt end.
整整十秒,努恩王没有说话。
The prince stared at Cyril, with full caution:
“你知道苏里尔吗,我的长子,最有希望继承这个位子的男人,”沉默过后,努恩王抬起头,注视着那柄威名赫赫的戮魂枪:“他死在十二年前。”
“The third party – although you are very arrogant, how can I know that you don’t just want to push me to the cusp of the struggle, take me as a shield and a siege hammer?”
微微一愣。
The room was quiet for a moment.
“阿莱克斯……小姐的父亲?”他在犹豫中小心地问道:“我听迈尔克勋爵说,他死在狩猎意外里……”
It wasn’t until Frankenhaus took a sigh of relief, as if he had figured it out.
“不,”这一次,努恩王很快打断了第二王子,他脸色铁青:“意外只是我们的对外说法。”
He snorted and looked back at Thales:
微微蹙眉,再一次屏住了呼吸。
“One year ago, when you were playing snowman in Dragon Clouds City…”
“在狩猎中,他死于别有用心的刺杀,”老国王语气平常地道:“确切地说……”
“Your father secretly sent a letter asking us to mobilize the army to rescue his heir to the throne.”
“是来自你们星辰的刺客。”
Thales is thinking:
听到这里,
猛地一震。
a year ago?
我就不祝大家冬至快乐了,反正你们本来就很快乐。
The prince returned to the country, this game, this game, how long has it been laid out?
(本章完)
Cyril seems to be ecstatic, and he continues:
“The priests of the Western Expedition – my vassals thought they had caught a rare opportunity. They had a feverish mind and they were struggling to extort. They wanted to return to the blade camp from the ‘host’ of the royal family. accepted.”
Having said that, the eyes of the Duke of Falkenhaus:
“But one of my courtiers has discouraged me from sending troops. He thinks this is a trap of no good intentions.”
Thales frowned.
The duke looked coldly at the blade camp under the window and suddenly turned.
“Fakkenhaz is still sending troops.”
“Even if I know there is a problem.”
“Do you know why?”
Thales silently looked at him for a few seconds and opened his eyes.
“You said it.”
The prince looked away, slightly ironic:
“In the face of the vassal, you don’t want to be the one who replaced the king and prevented the princes from regaining power. They fell in both sides.”
He ridiculed:
“For example, aren’t you just getting them back to get back to the field? Third party?”
This time, Falkenhaus looked at him for a long time.
“Do not.”
Duke’s slow opening
“because……”
“From the ruthless king to the frenzied princes, I am the only one in this power game.”
The only person?
Thales is a bit stunned.
“When the legendary wing and my vassals are staring at the blade camp, no one cares about the business in the desert, no one cares about the heir to the kingdom that should have been the protagonist…”
Cyril is slowly getting serious:
“I am the only one who believes…”
“I believe that compared to the ownership of the Blades, compared to the power of the nobility, compared to the success or failure of the Majesty…”
The duke leaned over his back and almost put his head on the crutches, leaning far away from Thales, and the right hand on the crutches pointed to the second prince:
“Rescue you, rescue Thales · Jadestar Prince safely returns home.”
“It is what everyone really should care about – the first priority.”
Thales looked at Falkenhaus in a dull mood.
Cyril straightened up and covered the old state and the dying.
His eyes are sharp and seem to penetrate everything.
“Ok.”
Thales has a hard time opening:
“You are not bad when you talk about beautiful words…”
But the Duke opened his mouth again and interrupted him!
“and so!”
“I have prevented some lords from secretly leaking information to Eckstedt, obstructing your return to the country.”
Cyril Yang said.
A glimpse of Thales.
The duke’s tone became melodious, greatly reducing the sharpness of his nephew:
“So, Baron Guz will lead the most efficient Raven Whisker, against the orders of his immediate superiors, and spare no effort to search for you, even the orcs will not let go.”
Thales didn’t respond for a while.
But he quickly realized that something was wrong.
Baron Guz.
Ravens light ride.
The familiar term makes Thales look up!
“Who?”
He is screaming at Cyril:
“Who are you talking about?”
But Falkenhaus only looked at him with interest.
Two seconds later, the Duke seemed to appreciate the expression of Thales, which was slow and authentic:
“and so……”
“You and your caravan, you can go all the way to the Blades Camp without any hindrance after you have separated from the deserted Kandar Nu Mountain in the desert.”
Thales’ minds paused a bit.
Caravan.
Kandar Nushan.
All the way, no obstacles…
impossible.
Thales looked at the indifferent duke:
“how do you know–”
But Thales bowed his head and bit the next word.
He remembered it.
“The Baron Guz.”
Thales subconsciously:
“I met in the desert, the commander who chased the orc with the freak squad…”
Thales looked up and looked straight at Cyril, but he couldn’t cover the surprise:
“Is he yours?”
Cyril chuckled, confident and relaxed.
“Before the Baron of the town of Emory, who was under the leadership of the Croma family, Van Chaus Guz was my courtier.”
The room was quiet for a few seconds.
It wasn’t until Thales made a hard breath.
“So…”
He asked incredibly:
“Whether I met the army in the desert, or I entered the blade camp, you always… know?”
and.
If the baron is his man, then he heard it in my pub…
The duke made a disturbing laugh.
“More than that.”
At that moment, Cyril’s hazy sneer listened to the monks:
“I know that the blade camps that are at your fingertips are full of ominousness. I know that the movement of the royal reserve army must be flawed. I know that the mercenary dog legs of Williams are just around the corner. I also know that the orcs that Guz met in the desert are no coincidence. “”
The Duke’s words are like a steel knife, reflecting the sharp cold light.
what did he say?
Thales breathed in horror.
The blade camp is full of ominous.
The trend of the standing army.
The mercenary dog legs are just around the corner.
It is no coincidence that the orcs are.
This information, this information…
This means…
Thales frowned at the Duke:
“You know all… but you didn’t show up, didn’t come to me, didn’t even fight in the camp. When the legendary wing regained the camp, it didn’t help the West lords. You just, just…”
Cyril exhaled breathlessly:
“I just let Guz go away after making sure you enter the camp. I just let the skull guards of the Falkenhaz family rotate early, away from the center of the whirlpool, away from the trap of this smashing.”
“Let Williams the bastard and finish his hunting.”
Thales couldn’t help but ask for an exit:
“why?”
“Before everything begins, you clearly have the intelligence and ability to reverse the situation, but sit on the conflict between the royal family and the West, and sit down and watch your vassals… the loss is heavy?”
The Duke of the Western Plains laughed.
“Because this conflict is a must, and it can only be this ending.”
Cyril looked at the blade camp outside the window and seemed to ponder:
“Western princes lost this game, lost the people and prestige, gray face! The Majesty won this game, saved the blade camp, beat the opponent.”
“The two sides are just going back to the situation before.”
Thales thought and suddenly figured it out.
Sure enough, Cyril turned back:
“But imagine that if I succeeded in interfering with this handy game, I would force the royal army to save the princes’ losses and help them regain control of the western frontline… What are the consequences?”
Thales sighed.
The Duke continued:
“My stupid vassals, when they are celebrating the championship, will they be satisfied with their satisfaction, or will they be able to increase their strength?”
“And people like your father will accept the reality, give up on it, or after obsessing with me and the strength of the West,…”
Cyril’s tone has become terrible:
“Do you go all out and pay back 100 times?”
The duke sneered.
“The problem is coming…”
Falkenhaus’s ugly face reveals a deep gully:
“Will the ruins be the next cold castle or the next Dragon Clouds City?”
“Sometimes, doing nothing is the best option.”
Thales lean against the wall.
The Duke’s words were very light, but they gave him a heavy feeling of smashing the top.
He has just returned from the North, and he is accustomed to the words of the North, which are not a big hit, and threaten to intimidate the knife and blood – at least for the nobility.
But after today, he suddenly understood a lot.
What Stars Kingdom does is another set of rules of the game.
Another…the shackles of power.
The prince’s eyes became bleak.
“Now, is this enough to prove it?”
Cyril is cold and cold:
“I am neither the kind of aristocrat in your impression, nor your father.”
“It’s really in the Stars, the colosseum where you live and die, the third one.”
third party.
Thales closes his eyes tightly.
Quietness lasted for almost thirty seconds.
Until Cyril slowly sounded:
“Well, Williams is probably patrolling back, I don’t want to meet him – Gaohe can’t do him.”
Thales opened his eyes and watched the Duke adults whisper to him:
“Happy conversation – you can continue your lunch.”
The complex Thales sighed and gave him a gift.
Hey, hey, hey.
In the robe of the leather robe, the Duke of the Western Wilderness turned around with a mysterious smile and walked to the door.
But what Thales saw.
“Duke of the Duke, you forgot your sword!”
The prince frowned and pointed at the beautiful arch of the ancient sword against the wall – the warning.
Boom.
The duke’s crutches gave birth to a meal on the ground.
But beyond Thales’s expectations, Cyril opened up another word.
“Do not!”
The Duke of the West was turned around and cold and cold:
“You forgot your sword.”
Thales was amazed.
I saw Cyril squinting and pointed to the ancient imperial sword at the wall:
“From this moment on, the warning is yours.”
Thales is stunned.
“Hold it and grab your sword.”
Just listening to the Duke of the Western Wilderness, Cyril Falkenhaus of the Skull Family of the Four Eyes seems to have a deep meaning:
“Don’t lose it.”
After all, the Duke turned and stepped out of the door.
His last words came from outside the room:
“And, say hello to the boy at the Cato home – if he is not dead yet.”
