The St. Granburg Palace is huge.
Prince Chen stood on the top of the bedroom castle, staring at the Fort St. Grann under the drizzle, his eyes revealed a gloomy and oppressive look.
It is different from the way of fighting for the throne among the princes of Zealand.
When the King of Sealand was in power, many princes would compete for honor with open swords and guns, so as to win followers of the principality.
With the death of the King of Sealand, the most powerful prince has basically been selected after many times of screening and elimination, and has been given the inheritance of the Sword of Glory to command Sealand.
Today, all the princes of Zealand are fully committed to the invasion of Finland.
Guarding their homeland, a large number of Finnish scholars died.
These scholars often have the status of alchemists, so the prices of various magic tools have also risen accordingly.
But Gran's battle for the throne was a silent war.
The competition for conspiracy power is often carried out silently, and it is even more cruel!
A beautiful woman, leading a group of maids, slowly walked towards the castle where Prince Chen was staying.
Signaling the maids to back down, she looked at Prince Chen who was overlooking Fort St. Grann under the drizzle, and said in a low voice, "Your father, I'm afraid his body won't last long."
This beautiful woman is Prince Chen's mother, Princess Xilan who was married more than twenty years ago, Vachinna.
Exquisite hairpin, beautiful face.
"Your elder brother, Prince Bo, is accompanying him. According to reliable sources, he has obtained the position of head of the Royal Sky Knights."
"knew."
Prince Chen's repression made the beautiful woman feel like a knife cut her heart.
"The position of head of the Royal Sky Knights, coupled with the support of the military and your father's death, the next step is the Royal Academician Committee's turn. The ministers who support Prince Ping have surrounded the palace tightly, and even the wisdom The Temple of the Goddess and the Holy See also sent priests to pray for your father, but everyone knows that they are on the side of Prince Ping, so you have to find a way to win the opportunity!"
The thumb ring is slightly shiny.
Prince Chen took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Mother, go back, I have my own plans."
Vachinna knew that he was resenting herself.
It was I who brought him to this world of misery. He was in the Grand Palace, but he had the blood of the Sealand royal family, and he was born with original sin.
If you want to get anything, the price you pay is far more than others.
After Vachinna left, Prince Chen said in a low voice: "Have you found out about the Aurora power hidden behind elder brother?"
An old man came from the shadows, he was Prince Chen's most trusted confidant, his bent body was almost bent to the ground, and he said in a low voice: "It has been confirmed, it is the hand of death."
"Hand of Death?"
Prince Chen had never heard of this organization.
"It's an ancient killer organization in Aurora. It is said that they strictly follow a certain ancient system, and there are very few internal members."
The old man added: "But extremely powerful!"
Prince Chen said suspiciously: "Since the Holy See has clearly supported the second brother, how dare this god of death, who was born in Aurora, dare to openly disobey the Holy See and support the eldest brother?"
"this… "
The old man shook his head and said, "This is not very clear."
"The eldest brother has the support of the Hand of Death, the Royal Sky Knights, the military and the emperor, the second brother has the support of the Holy See, the Temple of Wisdom, and the noble forces of the Principality, and I..."
"No!"
The old man suddenly interrupted Prince Chen's words.
"His Majesty the Emperor did not fully support Prince Bo, otherwise the shadow army deep in the palace should not be safe. Others don't know, but you should know that the leader of the shadow army is who!"
Prince Chen suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Come out with me."
"Where are you going?"
"Redridge!"
…
Three years of development.
Redridge Ridge has grown from a barren land with nothing to a small town of thousands of people, and the territory is thriving.
Prince Chen, dressed in disguise, with a pale complexion, hurried to the front of the Lei Luo Solar Energy Laboratory under the protection of his guards.
"Quick! Call Baron Lei Luo!"
The old scholar said anxiously while supporting the seriously injured Prince Chen.
Aoun recognized the identity of Prince Chen, and immediately notified Lei Luo, Lei Luo ran out.
"Lei Luo..."
Drenched in cold sweat, Prince Chen passed out.
"what happened!"
Staring at the blood-stained Prince Chen, Lei Luo signaled Angela to disperse the onlookers near the street, and helped the unconscious Prince Chen into the laboratory.
"Bai Lian, activate the highest defense of the magic circle!"
"Yaqian, summon the guardian!"
The so-called guardian naturally refers to the second real body of the tree of truth coming.
After turning on the emergency protection measures in the laboratory, Lei Luo and the others brought Prince Chen to the inner room, carefully uncovered his clothes, and his expression turned serious due to the critical injuries.
"Who did it?"
"The hand of death, the killer sent by Prince Bo, Prince Chen left the palace in order to see you, and was murdered."
At this moment, Prince Chen's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and he looked like he had lost too much blood. His body was sweating coldly, and strange black smoke was rising from the wound on his chest, forming a distorted skull.
Fortunately, protected by the soft light emitted by the jade pendant around his waist, the black poison was confined near the wound and did not spread, otherwise the terrifying poison would have already cut off Prince Chen's upgrade.
Lei Luo looked at Aoun and said, "Call Merlin quickly."
After a long time.
Merlin directed the strange poison from Prince Chen's wound to a rabbit specimen. In an instant, the black smoke of these distorted skulls was attracted by fresh flesh and blood, and rushed towards the rabbit, corroding it into a pile of white bones.
Merlin said with a serious face, "It's the Black Widow!"
Well
Facing Lei Luo's surprise, Merlin rolled his eyes and said, "I mean this kind of poison."
After the toxin was removed, Lei Luo sent some blood to Prince Chen, and prepared some potion, which was applied to the wound.
After being busy for nearly an hourglass time, Prince Chen's situation improved slightly.
The sky darkened unknowingly.
Lei Luo took a deep breath, motioned Merlin to take care of Prince Chen, and he brought the old man to the living room.
"What's the matter, Your Excellency came over the first two times, why did Prince Chen come this time? Didn't you tell Prince Chen about my situation and conditions?"
"He wants to come and see for himself. You know, he is a man of faith. Your conditions are not a small matter even for the emperor of the Principality. Moreover, even if he has not left the palace, this day will only come later. , you should know his situation."
The crooked old man sighed, looked directly at Lei Luo and said sincerely, "He needs your help!"
After a moment of silence, Lei Luo said in a low voice, "Is Your Majesty in good health?"
"Um."
The old man said dully, "It happened three days ago."
Lei Luo pursed his lips, and said seriously: "In short, let's talk about it after His Highness wakes up. Let's talk about the hand of death. Since they are killers, those people will definitely make a comeback after knowing that Prince Chen is not dead. I Although there are some forces here, they cannot guarantee the safety of Prince Chen."
After a while.
After learning the preliminary information about the Hand of Death, Lei Luo took out the black crystal ball and secretly contacted m.
"I'm having some trouble here."
The distance between the two is very close, and the crystal ball can provide the image of the light curtain. M frowned: "What happened?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen of Grand Duchy is with me, and he was hunted down by the hand of death."
M curled his lips and said: "The guardian will not participate in the struggle for political rights within human beings. You should know that I can't help you."
"I want to know the specific background of Death's Hand."
After hesitating for a long time, m slowly said: "Few outsiders know that the so-called Hand of Death is just a hidden force under the command of the Holy See, responsible for some special tasks that the arbitrators are inconvenient to interfere with. Remember, this kind of thing must not spread to the outside world.”
When Lei Luo heard this, his expression froze.
M turned off the crystal ball communication. Obviously, this information was only reported because of his special friendship with Lei Luo.
"It's the Holy See again! Maybe... the person behind this is not Prince Bo?"
Lei Luo looked solemn.
