Remember in one second,
"Dark Parliament, Dark Parliament again!"
Iliad VIII had just sent away Sean, the director of the Judgment Department, and was furious in the hall. The Dark Parliament, formerly known as the Parliament of Nobles, no matter how many times they launched the liquidation, Iliad tried every means to suppress them. , but they are always unable to completely eliminate them. These stinky rats can predict their actions in advance every time, and every time they encircle and suppress them, they gain little.
And they grew up under the eyes of Iliad VIII, and even penetrated into the Church of Light. Even the clergy in the Temple of Light were bribed by them, but what about their own side? Iliad looked at everyone around him and felt that they all had such suspicions. This frightened Iliad VIII. After all, these guys not only wanted to overthrow the Church of Light, but also wanted to remove themselves from the throne. Push down.
Iliad VIII became excited and coughed even more violently. His whole body was shaking and he couldn't stop. The heavy asthmatic sound made people feel that he was going to die next moment. Count Evans, who was standing beside him, immediately supported Iliad. The eighth generation waved and the attendant immediately came over and brought an ivory cup.
When he walked in, he made eye contact with Evans, lowered his head tacitly, and served Iliad VIII to drink the water and pills in the cup. He immediately saw that Iliad's condition was much better.
Iliad VIII calmed down and sat down: "I heard that this court physician was also the apprentice of the legendary Pole Clemer. Sure enough, he was personally taught by Mr. Clemer. If it weren't for his superb medical skills, , I’m afraid I can’t hold on any longer.”
It is now the twenty-first year of the Holy Calendar, and Iliad VIII is already in his forties. However, the old problems in his body have not been managed well, and he is aging in a disgraceful way. Even if the church's priests and priests are invited, Lemo's apprentices are unable to manage well and can only maintain the status quo.
Evans immediately said: "This time Sean, the director of the Judgment Department, has arrived. The Knights of Light have already crossed our country's border. If we add the garrison of Cardinal Leon in our country, the amount of troops they mobilized this time , there are already more than 40,000, and they are all elite troops. Are we just going to let them do what they want within us? Although they say they are investigating the Dark Council, who knows what their intentions are."
A gloomy look immediately appeared on Iliad VIII's face. His relationship with the Church of Light has always been very delicate. He came to power relying on the power and support of the Church of Light, and he relied entirely on the Church of Light to secure his throne. However, as a Cretan The emperor of the empire cannot tolerate the Church of Light interfering too much in the internal affairs of the Cretan Empire. At least he cannot interfere beyond the authority of the emperor.
But this time the actions of the Church of Light went too far. The chief judge of the Judgment Department came in person, and the most elite Knights of Light marched directly into the Crete Empire without permission, completely ignoring him as the emperor. Here, this was part of the reason why he was so angry just now, but he just didn't dare to say it directly.
Iliad VIII suppressed his anger: "Don't worry about them. The Church of Light has lost the sword of royal power this time. The loss of the god-given thing has made Pope Hodep red-eyed. Regardless of everything, nothing can stop them. .”
After saying the words of Iliad VIII, he immediately turned into a sneer: "Look at them losing the sword of royal power this time. How will the coronation ceremony be carried out next time? Evans, you should pay full attention to the actions of the Church of Light. This time the three saints Everyone gathers in our Cretan Empire, we must be careful!"
After Evans left the palace, he immediately met a carriage and a coachman dressed in shorts not far in front of the palace. Evans' complexion changed and he quickly changed into the carriage, while his original carriage was Driven by the driver, he returned to his mansion.
In the underground meeting hall, Evans hurried over and saw that everyone present had already arrived. Except for himself, all four speakers from the Cretan Empire had arrived. Evans immediately took his seat.
"The Church of Light will never give up this time. Our actions have exceeded their bottom line. They will never give up until they find the Sword of Royal Power. Moreover, they are determined to destroy us. This is definitely not a small fight like before."
"This action is too risky. Why do you do it? Is it just for the simple rumors that the legendary Sword of Royal Power has divine power? Even if it means stealing the face of Pharos, it is better than stealing the Sword of King Power!"
"That's why we were not reminded of such a major plan. Only now do I know that the three saints and the most terrifying director of the Judgment Department, Sean, came in person and entered the territory together with the Bright Knight Legion. Now everyone Everyone is terrified.”
"It cannot be said that the symbolic meaning of the Sword of Royal Power is much higher than that of Pharos. It represents the divine right of kings. If the Sword of Royal Power is lost, the prestige of the Church of Light will suffer a major blow. The next coronation ceremony will definitely There will be problems.”
The man at the top of the conference table spoke: "It was my decision. I have already started the plan. This time, it will definitely succeed!"
The scene suddenly became quiet. The man in black cloak opposite Evans paused and said excitedly and choked with sobs: "Has it started yet?"
Evans was also excited: "We have been waiting for more than 20 years, and finally we have the opportunity. Iliad VIII has been in poor health recently. I will order them to increase the dosage. Iliad VIII will definitely not survive this summer. .”
The man at the top of the conference table raised his head, and the hood on his head fell off, revealing a face that looked very similar to that of Iliad VIII. It turned out to be Iliad VIII's younger brother, Duke Vodigan. .
According to legend, the leader and founder of the Dark Council turned out to be the most trusted younger brother of Iliad VIII, and everyone present showed their faces one by one. Except for Count Evans, who was the prime minister, everyone present was Iliad VIII of the Cretan Empire relied on the most trustworthy ministers. The few people present, plus Duke Woldigan, already represented the highest level of the Cretan Empire.
Duke Woldigan glanced at everyone present, and finally his eyes fell on Evans: "Ivens, this time the three saints of the Church of Light are dispatched, and the Sword of Royal Power is lost, the Cretan Empire needs to give them An explanation, we need a significant person to stand up, attract their attention, and sacrifice for the parliament. At the same time, this is also a very important part of the plan. In the future, we will truly step onto the stage and enter the next era, and The Dark Parliament will accompany your name, Count Evans, to its end."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Evans. Evans immediately felt that something was wrong. It seemed that his presence today was a mistake. Evans never thought that he had always regarded other people as sacrificial pawns. Today, I also fell into such a predicament.
"No, you guys, you are joking, aren't you!" Evans said sarcastically, but the eyes of others looking at him were as cold as looking at cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, bone-chilling.
Evans was cold all over and wanted to stand up, but suddenly he went weak and fell to the ground with the chair: "No, you can't do this."
Evans turned around and wanted to run, running towards the passage behind him. He wanted to leave here, he wanted to expose it to His Majesty, and he wanted these guys to know the price of betraying themselves!
Evans had just stood up. At this time, a thin woman walked out of the passage behind him. A pair of eyes with a faint light in the darkness stared at Evans. Evans immediately moved his body and was caught by the woman. After holding her neck, the thin woman actually lifted him up with one hand. Even though Evans struggled hard, he couldn't get away.
"It's a wizard, a wizard, you actually found them again, you..." Evans' sharp voice gradually turned into a drake voice, and his whole body trembled with fear.
The woman stretched out her hand and saw a black insect leaping out from her hand and getting into Evans's ear. Evans screamed in horror, struggled continuously, fell to the ground, and finally lost consciousness. All fell into darkness.
After a long time, Ivens got up from the ground. His eyes had lost their sparkle and became empty and lifeless. Wardigan clapped his hands and looked at the wizard: "I'll leave the rest to you."
