"Everyone, everyone." Fernando, the 79-year-old Henicos, shouted dryly. Unfortunately, he was too old, and his strength seemed to have been gone for a long time, so he shouted The voice was very low, so low that no one in the room could hear it.
This is the imperial capital of Birmingham, a mansion of Fernando. To be precise, it is an outhouse in Birmingham, because Birmingham and the mansions of more than thirty nobles and officials present already belong to Luke. The exchange made during the attack was to use these properties that were likely to be destroyed by the war in exchange for the right to leave the imperial capital and go to Seawind City, so Birmingham could only reluctantly live in this not-so-gorgeous residence.
When these royal families, nobles and officials who fled to Seawind City in the south learned that the battle to defend the imperial capital was over, they quickly returned to the imperial capital through the magic teleportation array. However, they found that they had lost the right to inherit the throne. Catherine was promoted to queen. This made them lose the possibility of competing for the king, and everything that Catherine did during her coronation complied with the laws of the empire. They were unable to change this established fact at all.
Forget about Catherine's promotion alone, now the entire imperial capital is under Luke's control. The wealth of these royal family's residences has been completely emptied, and a large number of civilians have moved in. This makes the people who always pride themselves on being noble. How could the Fernando royal family endure it? Therefore, at the invitation of Fernando in Birmingham, these royal bloodlines who had lost a lot gathered together to prepare to regain what they had lost.
"Everyone be quiet." As the master, Birmingham looked at the chaos and suddenly became unhappy. However, his aristocratic recuperation quickly diluted these negative emotions and became calm. In order not to hope Today's discussion was spent in chaos. Birmingham decided to preside over the entire meeting. He shouted a few words loudly and finally brought the chaotic scene under control.
After the room gradually returned to calm, Birmingham said: "We are all descendants of Fernando and have noble blood. However, now that Luke has taken over the power, our Fernando royal family is about to decline. This is absolutely not allowed. "
"Nonsense, we are sitting here just to discuss some countermeasures. You really think we are here to have fun." A royal man in his thirties said disdainfully,
"Shut up." Birmingham yelled, slamming the table in front of him and shouting: "I'll say it again, don't talk, listen to me first. If anyone messes around again, don't blame me for being rude."
"Tch, you, Birmingham, are no more noble than anyone else, so..." The man said this nonchalantly, and watched as Birmingham took out a magic scroll from his body and tore it open to himself. This thirty-year-old man Seeing a light blue lightning shot out of the damaged magic scroll, it hit him directly, and then he didn't know anything.
"Ah." Everyone screamed together. They saw Birmingham using a magic scroll to kill a person, and they immediately panicked. Many people even stood up and wanted to run out, but Birmingham arranged to stop him outside the door. The guard stopped, and Birmingham looked at the fearful eyes of everyone in front of him. Without saying anything, he directly took out the second magic scroll from his arms. His move immediately shocked everyone present, and the scene suddenly became quiet. come down,
"No one should talk anymore now." Birmingham said calmly: "If you have anything to say, please speak up and don't quarrel randomly. We are superior people."
After Birmingham said these words, no one dared to answer. This made Birmingham extremely satisfied. He said confidently: "We are here today to discuss a countermeasure against Luke, but everyone knows that Luke They have great power and we don’t have many subordinates, so it’s not beneficial to confront them head-on.”
"In order to better integrate our forces, I propose to set up an organization, hand over all our forces to this organization for management, and then work together to deal with Luke. In order to keep it secret, we will not have such careless gatherings in the future. It’s a small-scale, highly confidential meeting.”
After saying this, Birmingham put away the magic scroll in his hand, indicating that everyone could express their opinions. Henikos, who was almost 80 years old, stood up tremblingly, leaning on a cane and said: "I agree, everything about us is Coming from this empire, the empire no longer exists, and we no longer exist. It is the wisest choice to focus all our forces together now. As for the future, I believe the winner can get a sufficiently generous reward."
"Very well, Henicos's opinion is also my opinion."
"agree."
"agree."
"So be it."
Everyone present expressed their opinions one after another, and they all had anything to say for a while, but a young voice suddenly sounded: "Then who should be the leader of this organization?"
Everyone looked at it and found that it was Hubble's half-brother, Harry, Fernando, who is thirteen years old this year. Birmingham nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed a difficult problem, but I think as long as we If you think about it carefully, you can get the answer.”
"Yes, yes, cough... cough..." Henicos coughed repeatedly, and he said slowly: "I do have the best candidate."
"Your candidate must be the most suitable." Birmingham thought that Henicos would recommend him as he agreed with his opinion just now, so he complimented him a few words, but Henicos changed his tone and said: "Fernando ten The third widow, Queen Catherine, is the best candidate.”
"Her Majesty the Queen, please re-appoint Victor as the royal chief magician. We need to rely on his power now." Luke said to Catherine sitting on the throne: "Now the old guys in the imperial capital are starting to feel uneasy again. Come on, these people are really a headache, can't they just stay at home?"
Catherine listened to Luke's complaints and said with a smile: "Sir Luke, you don't have to ask me about these things. You can handle it with full authority."
"No, Her Majesty the Queen." Luke retorted: "This is related to the majesty of the royal family. You must write the letter of appointment yourself, otherwise it will be invalid and will have the opposite effect."
"No problem, I agree. Please draw up the text and I will sign it."
"Thank you very much, Her Majesty the Queen." Luke expressed his sincere gratitude. In his opinion, the current Queen Catherine is really qualified. She fully understands what she should and should not do, and she never treats Luke It was Catherine's approach to criticize Orlando's behavior that made the entire imperial capital's reconstruction work proceed quite smoothly, with almost no problems encountered.
Luke excitedly took the appointment letter written by Catherine and came to the yard where Victor lived. He couldn't even wait to enter Victor's study and shouted loudly: "Victor, look what this is." ." Unexpectedly, Luke shouted several times but no one answered. He was slightly surprised, so he opened the door and walked into Victor's study.
This is a room large enough to accommodate dozens of people. In fact, this room is Victor's magic laboratory in Luke's mansion. Now, this room is empty except for the table in the center of the room. There is a letter lying quietly,
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Luke's heart. He quickly walked over, took the letter in his hand, then tore it open, took out the letter paper inside, and read line by line. There was only one sentence in the letter paper: "Old friend , I’m going back to the Magic Tower.” Victor’s name was clearly written on the signature at the end. With Luke’s eyes, he could naturally identify that this was Victor’s personal letter.
"Damn it, why did you go back to the magic tower at this time?" Luke complained in a low voice, and continued in a low voice: "His magic tower can only be entered by himself. It seems that not even Farasi has been there. , Oh, I remembered, when we were in the Royal Athletic Competition, Ryan followed him in. "
"Alas, Ryan and the others are not in the imperial capital. I don't know what is happening to them now. I hope they can attract Senat's attention and allow my special envoy to successfully complete the mission."
Luke thought wildly for a long time, and then regained consciousness. He was about to put the letter in his hand back on the table, but found that there seemed to be writing on the back of the letter. Luke quickly turned the letter over, only to find that it said He said: "Royal Chief Magician, I'm really not interested. I've been tied to this position for so many years, and now I'm free. You can find someone else. If it doesn't work, that guy Ryan can do it, haha."
"This Victor, it's really..." Luke put the letter on the table with a wry smile. He shook his head slightly, feeling distressed by Victor's choice. Victor had obviously guessed Luke's next step. Action, he left early. As long as Victor was not willing, no one on this continent could forcefully open Victor's magic tower. This also meant that Victor was now isolated from the world.
"There is still some trouble this time. At least without Victor's deterrence, those reckless guys will jump out again." Luke thought to himself: "But it's okay, when they start, I will let Orlando Defeat them completely, but throw all these parasites to Seawind City so that they won’t be a hindrance here.”
"As for Ryan and the others, they don't know where they are now..." Luke was lost in thought when he heard a burst of footsteps coming from outside. When the footsteps came outside the door, a man's rich voice said: "Sir, emergency from the south. Report."
Luke opened the door and walked out, and saw a messenger standing there accompanied by two of his guards. Luke nodded slightly and motioned for the messenger to continue: "Sir, the first reserved goal has been completed, freedom. Kiraviv of Heaven declares permanent neutrality.”
"Oh, that's right. Let's talk about the specific situation."
"Yes, sir, that day our group disguised ourselves as a Chamber of Commerce convoy and passed through Senat's defense line, and directly arrived at Freedom Paradise. There, we passed..."
