Douluo: Emperor of Light
Chapter 48
At some point, the atmosphere in Wuhun City became increasingly tense, and even the most ordinary civilians were vaguely aware of it.
The shops in the city are a bit sluggish, and the prices of the items sold are a bit more expensive. Many dignitaries who usually have high status are all frowning at this time.
All signs indicate that the situation is different. They don't quite know why, but based on instinctive experience, they know that this is not a good thing.
In the center of the city, in the magnificent Wuhun Hall, some important figures who understood the current situation more clearly appeared to be more active.
A bright and spacious hall, with many people gathered here.
Although Wuhun Palace does not prohibit enjoyment and banquets, such things are still rare after all.
Sean was alone, occupying a seat in an inconspicuous corner, drinking by himself. The lively atmosphere in the venue seemed to be out of tune with him.
One cup after another, his sad face slowly melted away as he gradually deepened his drunkenness.
"You are not young anymore. Although you have deep soul power, it is best not to drink too much."
Sean glanced at this old acquaintance, ignored him, raised his glass again and drank directly.
A lot of the precious wine, as sweet as amber, spilled onto the floor of the tables and chairs with his indifferent movements, exuding a mellow aroma.
Because of his move, the Lord Inspector was silent for a while and then spoke again:
"The northern legion of the Star Luo Empire has been prepared. The governor has promised us that once the chaos starts, he will contain the forces in the south of the Spirit Hall in a short time."
Sean's hand holding up the wine glass paused, and his slightly cloudy eyes raised, looking at the gloomy-looking Inspector Hall Master, Lloyd.
The other party's originally dark hair was dyed with a hint of gray, and his slightly widened eyes were even slightly bloodshot.
He just stared at Sean, like a beast in desperate situation, trying to fight to the death.
At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet was at a high level, with singing, dancing, music, handsome men and beautiful women, and delicious food, all attracting everyone's attention and making them enjoy it happily.
However, the location where the two of them were was not disturbed at all. It was like a dark world of depression and silence, brewing with a terrifying atmosphere of wind and rain.
"Among the powerful palace masters, more than ten people have reached an agreement with us, and nearly half of the remaining ones have also promised me their neutrality. In this regard, our strength is not inferior to hers."
"She Long, the two elders Zhangxue went to the Tiandou Empire to perform a secret mission. After receiving the news, Elder Guibao is heading to the south to command the soul master army."
"Elder Ju, Elder Ghost, Elder Demon Bear...that arrogant woman sent them all out. I know she did it on purpose, but this will be our only chance!"
Royd spoke faster and faster, his words became more intense, and his suppressed anger couldn't help but reveal a trace at this moment, which was about to alarm the people around him.
"Useless."
Sean spoke up.
"It doesn't change anything."
After a pause for a second or two, Sean confirmed again with a positive tone.
Lloyd raised his head slightly, raised his chin, and signaled Sean to speak clearly.
"You and I both know that the true secret of Wuhun Palace lies in the Enshrinement Palace. Their opinions are the key to everything."
"Could it be that... you have their tacit approval?"
Sean put down his wine glass, his decadent temperament suddenly dissipated. He stared into Lloyd's eyes and asked unceremoniously.
"Tell me, Lloyd, after such a long period of active connection, I believe you are well prepared."
Lloyd took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Through the Golden Crocodile family, I know the opinions of the worshipers. They acquiesce to our actions, but require that after our victory, the young master be allowed to ascend to the throne of the pope."
Sean stood up suddenly, the smile on his face couldn't stop spreading, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.
It has only been a few years since Bibi Dong became the pope, but she has been suppressed until now. What she relies on, apart from a little strength, is the faint support of the worshipers.
It was also because of the attitude of the worshipers that he seemed so hopeless and helpless before.
"I promise you, after the young master takes the throne, the Wuhun Palace will still be the same Wuhun Palace!"
Sean said firmly.
After hearing this, Lloyd smiled with satisfaction, and several people hiding around the hall also showed their figures and smiled.
-
In Koinor City, there is a prison in the church of the Wuhun branch.
At this time, in a dark and slightly dirty cell in the prison, Joseph was looking at the person in front of him expressionlessly, with his hands tied behind his back.
Ever since he found out that the person in front of him was the master of the Douluo Palace, he no longer had any hope of being able to hide and escape from here.
"As far as I know, as a member of the Inspectorate and the presiding judge, you should be one of our group. Why are you still helping that child?"
Wang Tao smiled, not surprised at all by this person's question.
A long time ago, he himself could not imagine why he, who was originally a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, was transferred to the Inspector Hall.
It wasn't until the situation became increasingly clear and confusing recently that he finally understood.
"Thanks to you, I think that after this purge is over, I will become the chief judge. Maybe even the Lord of the Inspector's Hall can hope for it."
After hearing this, Joseph's face turned gloomy.
What Wang Tao means is that someone has already made arrangements in the Inspector's Palace?Do you want to quickly take over all the fruits of victory and reduce losses after victory?
He felt that his guess should be accurate to one or two points, but why did these people think that their side would definitely win?
If the situation was really so easy to see, how could he choose another path and join the Star Luo Empire at this time?
Wang Tao ignored the other party's thoughts, took a record, flipped through it twice, looked at Joseph, and said:
"Priest Joseph, according to the regulations of Wuhun Palace, the presiding judge has the right to arrest and interrogate all members below the archbishop if there is certain evidence."
"And you seem to have committed quite a few things... So, before that, I'll ask you one last time if you are willing to confess everything and cooperate with the investigation to reduce your guilt."
After finishing speaking, Wang Tao straightened his posture, took out a pen and paper with a slightly serious expression, and prepared to record all the next information.
"According to Douluo Palace's investigation, you colluded with the nobles in the city and the Star Luo Empire to assassinate the previous bishop. While occupying the resources of the branch palace, you betrayed the interests of Wuhun Palace, and even betrayed and surrendered to the enemy!"
"Do you admit it?"
Wang Tao asked in a routine manner.
Joseph's expression changed uncertainly, and finally turned into a long sigh under Wang Tao's increasingly impatient gaze.
"Yes, I admit it."
The shops in the city are a bit sluggish, and the prices of the items sold are a bit more expensive. Many dignitaries who usually have high status are all frowning at this time.
