Remember in one second,
In the spring of the twenty-first year of the Holy Calendar, due to the constant pursuit and arrests of the Church of Light and the Cretan royal family, the Dark Council hiding behind the scenes finally revealed its flaws little by little. The leader of the Dark Council, the Prime Minister of the Cretan Empire, Yi Under the pressure of the Church of Light, Earl Vince's identity was finally exposed to the Church of Light.
Facing a desperate situation, Prime Minister Evans launched a coup, mobilized most of the Guards Corps that had fallen under his control, bloodbathed the palace, and killed Iliad VIII's two sons and one daughter. Iliad VIII Under the protection of more than a dozen royal guards, he was still shot by arrows and was seriously injured and dying.
Under the crisis, Iliad VIII's younger brother, Duke Woldigan, led his guards into the palace, entered the palace to serve the king, defeated the rebels, and killed Ivens in the hall. Before Prime Minister Ivens died, He shouted that he died under the sword of Duke Vortigern for the sake of His Majesty Iliad VII.
The Imperial City of Nia in the Cretan Empire fell into extreme chaos. A large number of troops were mobilized. The city was full of soldiers wearing armor. The city gates were closed. In the middle of the night, there were figures of torches walking through the streets everywhere. .
Sean, the director of the Judgment Department, broke into the palace with Duke Woldigan and rescued Iliad VIII. He immediately treated Iliad VIII's injury with the priest beside him. Although the injury was healed, Ili Art VIII was still in a coma due to excessive blood loss and poor physical condition.
Duke Woldigan was waiting beside Iliad VIII, heartbroken, and expressed his anger at the actions of the Dark Parliament and Count Evans: "I didn't expect that Evans was the leader of the Dark Parliament. It’s these damn dark councils and wizards, we absolutely cannot let them go, we must send these guys to the gallows.”
Sean stood behind Wardigan, looking at the pale and dying Iliad VIII. His expression was no longer so calm. He was very proficient in intelligence tracing and arrests, and was also responsible for monitoring the internal information of various countries. But he has no experience in governing or participating in struggles. He came here this time to investigate the incident of the Dark Parliament and the theft of the Sword of Royal Power. He did not expect such a change to occur. This was not what Sean expected at all, and it was not part of his area of responsibility.
All the heirs of Iliad VIII are dead, and now only Iliad VIII and Duke Woldigan are left. Once Iliad VIII appears, only Duke Woldigan will be left with the right to inherit the throne. .
However, at present, the church is not ready at all for the succession of the Cretan throne, and Duke Woldigan is not on the pre-selected list of the Cretan throne chosen by the church, so at this time, Sean cannot let Iliad VIII die. , at least he can’t die so quickly.
And Sean always felt that all this happened was too coincidental, or maybe too normal, but it made him feel abnormal, as if everything had been arranged. As soon as he investigated that there was something wrong with Evans, Evans launched the He staged a coup, and also killed all the heirs of Iliad VIII. It seemed to be Evans's last madness, a revenge against his loyal Majesty Iliad VII, but everything always felt full of a sense of violation. A sense of harmony.
And when Che just killed Ivens, it seemed too deliberate and too hasty. These many coincidences gave Sean, who has a keen sense of smell, a smell of conspiracy.
At this time, people from the Judgment Department outside came in and said something in Sean's ear. Sean's face immediately changed: "What, no one is there?"
When he arrived, after Evans's coup failed, Sean immediately led people to surround Earl Evans's mansion and investigate the whereabouts of the Sword of Royal Power. Since Evans is the leader of the Dark Parliament, there must be something from him. The whereabouts of the Sword of Royal Power can be found, and it is even possible that the Sword of Royal Power is in his hand.
But what Sean didn't expect was that except for a few servants, all of Evans' family and children had fled. The entire mansion was empty, and even a large number of relevant documents had been destroyed. , and several servants were clueless. They said that they were given a day off by their master in the morning and had no idea what happened.
Sean couldn't sit still at this moment, and immediately said goodbye to Duke Woldigan, entrusting Duke Woldigan to manage everything in the palace, leaving two priests to look after Iliad VIII, and immediately Rushing towards Count Evans' mansion, Duke Wardiggen suddenly showed a strange smile in the corner of his eyes as he watched Sean hurriedly leave, lying in front of the window of Iliad VIII, crying bitterly.
"This is it. They should be leaving Niah City through here."
This is not the residence of the Evans family, but an old water tower far away from the Evans family. The trial priests of the Judgment Department relied on their powerful tracking capabilities to investigate that the Evans family members came from In the city of Nia where they were escaping, Sean held a torch and looked down the tunnel: "Have you been down there?"
The Judgment Priest next to him immediately said: "We have sent people down to investigate. It turns out that the one leading down is a conference hall, and there are several other passages, some leading into the city and some leading outside the city."
Sean led several trial priests towards the passage, and finally came to the dark underground meeting hall, which was filled with a dark and strange smell. Sean slapped the table with his hand: "Ivens is indeed a member of the Dark Council. Leader, we finally caught him this time. Unfortunately, he died too quickly. There are still too many questions that have not been asked. Check, where do these passages lead outside the city, where do they lead inside the city, and where do everyone here lead? It is necessary to investigate clearly who is sitting in a seat."
At this time, several people behind him pressed a middle-aged man dressed in a burlap shirt to come to Sean: "Director, we have made a new discovery."
Sean glanced at this person: "Who is this?"
"Ivens' coachman said he often saw Ivens riding in a special carriage and disappeared without a trace. Moreover, when he picked up Ivens some time ago, he found that Ivens had brought back a very strange package."
Sean looked at the driver: "What package is it? Please tell me carefully."
The coachman looked extremely frightened and was trembling all over. Hearing Sean's question, he didn't dare to raise his head and spoke while shaking: "It was like this about ten days ago. It was getting very late that day and the sky was still dark. It was raining, so the count asked me to wait for him at the second alley of Lille Street. When he went, he was empty-handed, but when he came back, he brought a strange package."
"What package?"
"It seems to be a sword, no no, no, it is definitely a sword, because I vaguely saw the hilt of the sword. It is very beautiful and white, and there are strange symbols on it."
Sean and everyone present suddenly straightened up and stared at the coachman. Sean immediately drew a few symbols on the ground: "Is this it?"
"Yes, I have the impression that it is this one, absolutely right." The driver pointed out tremblingly.
"The Sword of Royal Power!"
Sean waved his hand and immediately saw a flash of white light, tearing apart all the tables and chairs in the conference hall. Sean punched the wall and said angrily: "It is indeed him, Evans, this old guy is still here." He has always shown loyalty to our Church of Light, but he turned out to be a complete blasphemer."
"How long have the Evans family been gone?"
The Judgment Priest has already investigated this issue and is waiting for Sean's question: "It's been more than half a day. I'm afraid they have gone far away."
"Chase, the sword of royal power must be on the descendants of Evans. We must catch up with them. Send a signal to Captain Childs and Cardinal Leon. Everyone mobilizes for me. I must find their clues and give them a signal." I find them."
