Skeleton King

The atmosphere in the Duke Green's Mansion is very depressing. This normally cheerful mansion has turned into a cemetery. Even the waiters and maids in the Duke's Mansion are like the living dead, except that they will make "snapping" sounds on the floor when they walk. Silent as a plant.

Princess Bernadette, who loves jokes the most, did not go out to the banquet either. She sat quietly in her room embroidering. I am alone.

Although Princess Bernadette did not spend much time in the eastern plains of the Louisiana province, it will always be her hometown. Like all the people in the eastern plains of the Louisiana province, she is concerned about the fate there.

The study of the Duke of Green's mansion.

Nou and Gerald Horsley stood by the window, and a very detailed map was spread on the floor of the study room. The map was too big to fit on the desk, so Nou and the others had to spread it on the floor .

At this moment, about 1/5 of the area on this map is painted with black paint.

Neither Nou nor Gerald Horsley looked very good, especially Nou, Gerald Horsley had never seen him so angry before, like an extremely cold glacier, only by exuding The cold can frostbite a person.

Although Gerald Horsley knew that this should not be done, he was still glad that he followed Nou to the imperial capital and did not stay in the eastern plains of the Louisiana province. He couldn't imagine the people in the Green family fief What kind of anger will you bear.

Even so, Gerald Horsley still felt trembling in the face of Noel who was suppressing his anger.

He stiffened his head and squatted on the ground, he didn't dare to look up, just stared at the map intently, and used his fingers to draw out the area covered in black ink, "Green Castle was originally found by the magician of the Magic Island at the edge of the World of Warcraft forest They immediately sent a message to the imperial capital through the magic circle. But because of the change in the Pansy Palace, the speed of information transmission was much slower than before, and when Prince Nishimoto got the news, it was too late."

Nou took a deep breath.He motioned for Gerald Horsley to continue.

Gerald Horsley knew that although the Green family's handling of this accident was not perfect, there was no major problem. No matter which fiefdom in the Pansy Empire was deployed, it was not certain that they could do better than the Green family. better.The problem was the productivity of Pansy Palace's procrastination.

By the time the sleepy intelligence officer reported to Prince Xiben in disheveled clothes, the demons crawled out of the dead world had been wreaking havoc on the Green family's fief for almost two hours.

No matter how powerful an empire is, it cannot withstand continuous turmoil.Thinking of the rebellion of the kings before His Majesty Ludwig IV ascended the throne, and the palace change before Prince Siben's regency, Gerald Horsley was more worried about the future fate of the empire than ever before.

But what was the use of his worry?

Gerald Horsley is just a small person, as ambitious as Prince Xiben, as wise and brave as Nou, they can't solve problems, let alone Gerald Horsley.

Gerald Horsley continued to focus on the matter in front of him. He said: "The wizards of Magic Island asked for help from the people in Castle Green as soon as they saw them." Speaking of this, Gerald Horsley His voice was full of anger again, and he spoke quickly, "They knew what was chasing them, but none of them said anything. The people in Green Castle thought they had encountered other holy rank powerhouses, and they didn't even think of evacuating the eastern plains The civilians on board..."

Noel's voice was calm beyond Jerrold Horsley's expectations. He said, "Even if the people of Magic Island say it, we have no way to pass the news to the civilians."

"But..." Gerald Horsley was about to speak, but Nou stopped him, "I know that no one has escaped except Skylight Mage, and I also know what is attacking them. I want to know the exact damage on the eastern plains of Louisiana."

Gerald Horsley paused for a long time before he said: "The area marked out on the map happens to be the junction of the Green family and the Richter family. About 3/4 belongs to the Green family, and the remaining 1/4 belongs to the Green family. The fief of the Richter family.

After those wizards were captured by the Skull Knights, another Skeleton Knights wandered on the grassland for almost 3 hours. All the areas they passed left behind many dark magic elements. It can no longer be cultivated, and there is no way to graze.It is impossible for those lands to fully recover without hundreds of years of recuperation. "

The eastern plains of the Louisiana province were originally one of the largest granaries of the Pansy Empire. Such a loss was extremely huge for the Green family, the Richter family, and the empire.

Nuo Ou closed his eyes in pain. The Green family's millennium inheritance was almost destroyed in his hands.

Gerald Horsley trembled invisibly, he was a little afraid to say the next words, not because he was afraid of Nou's punishment, but because he couldn't bear it.He and Nuo'ou had been together in the Knights training camp in Georgia Province. The two had known each other for almost 10 years. He knew what the Green family's foundation meant to Nuo'ou, who was orphaned at a young age.

But what should come will come after all.

Gerald Horsley's lips were dry, and he said slowly: "Because the Skull Knights arrived in the eastern plains of Louisiana province early, most people were still asleep at that time, and only a few people had gone out. Skeleton The knights did not attack the house, and the people inside were safe, but the people who left the building..."

Nou's voice was hoarse, "How many casualties are there?"

Gerald Horsley said: "There are more than 600 people who have been identified, and some have not been discovered, even dead and unrecognizable. When the final statistics come out, the number of dead is estimated to More than 1000 people."

Gerald Horsley lowered his head nervously, he was ready to curse Noah and even overturn the table.

But Gerald Horsley waited for a long time, but Noah didn't move at all.

He had to be brave enough to raise his head and look at Nuoou.

By the window of the study room, the soft sunlight was covered by dark clouds, the room was dark and cold, and the young duke's usual soft and bright blond hair became dull, his eyes were closed tightly, and a line of tears slipped slowly and silently cheek.

Gerald Horsley quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

……

Pansy Palace.

Prince Xiben already knew what happened in the eastern plains of the Louisiana province, but it may be because of the appalling work efficiency of the palace that they became indirect accomplices of the Skull Knights, or it may be out of consideration for the Duke of Green, Xiben The prince did not summon Nuoou into the palace.

Prince Xiben is in the meeting room of the palace, and the person who is in the meeting room with Prince Xiben is a person that no one in the Pansy Imperial Capital would think of, but at the same time she is a frequent visitor to the Pansy Palace during this time.

Prince Xiben looked at his cousin Marina Homer. She was wearing a bright red leather armor and leather shorts today, showing a pair of slender and flawless white legs.During this period of time, Marina Homer was the most concerned figure in the upper class of the imperial capital, and even her daily clothes were imitated by everyone.

But like the one Marina Homer wore today, it was not like a noble lady, but more like a mercenary's attire, which made the noble lady who dared to be fashionable in the imperial capital both love and hate.They yearned for Marina Homer's unruly style, and hated her at the same time. No one dared to imitate her. Such an attire with bare thighs would be ridiculed and even affect their reputation.

Marina Homer led the trend of wearing red clothes, and even Prince Nishimoto had to sigh, "Cousin Marina, the red dress is very suitable for you, and you are worthy of the title of red rose."

The compliments that she has become accustomed to made Marina Homer feel calm. She said: "Don't say these completely unemotional polite words to me. I will act according to our agreement. What do you want me to do? It is the Green family and Is it about the Richter family?"

The Green family is undoubtedly the powerful family of the empire, even in the imperial capital where the relationship is intricate, the Green family is also second to none.Although the Richter family only has the title of earl, the Richter Knights and the Grimm Knights are both one of the top ten knight orders in the empire. In addition, the Richter family has produced a character that cannot be messed with—— Heinrich Richter, the Silver Juggernaut, is recognized by Magic Island as the most powerful Juggernaut alive.

If the accidents of these two families are not dealt with properly, it will be enough to shake the foundation of the empire.

"I already know what happened in the province of Louisiana." At noon on the day when the Green family and the Richter family had an accident, Prince Xiben approached Marina Homer—the person who is now in charge of the information on Rose Castle is not the skeleton knight. group thing.Marina Homer raised an eyebrow, something she hadn't expected.

However, she was smart, and soon discovered the crux of the problem, "The information network of Lord Marquis Ross has already existed in name only. Cousin Xiben has not invited Duke Green into the palace until now, and he certainly did not get it from him." News. Rose Castle is completely under my control, even if Rose Castle has your nails, it is impossible to pass me the news to you so quickly.

It looks like someone else tipped you off.I guess.You got the news from the magic island? "

Only Magic Island can have more detailed information than the other three forces.

Prince Nishimoto neither admitted nor denied it.

Although he was annoyed that someone had invaded the Pansy Empire, and wished to let those skeleton knights die again, but before he was free to deal with them, he had another thing to do.

In Prince Xiben's view, solving this matter is extremely simple, but if it is left alone, endless troubles will arise.

Prince Xiben said: "Do you still remember the information about the red rose I asked you to search for?"

Marina Homer was slightly stunned. When she first heard the title of the red rose, she hadn't reacted yet. After a while, she remembered the last owner of the title of the red rose—Ms. Caroline.However, Marina Homer was a little puzzled. Even if Mrs. Caroline was the lover of His Majesty Ludwig IV, could she be more important than what happened in the Louisiana province?

What's more, Lady Caroline has been dead for 12 years.

Seeing that Marina Homer remembered, Prince Xiben said: "I recently discovered something very interesting. My royal father has been secretly paying attention to the situation in Bad Soden Manor, which is the fiefdom of Viscount Neumann. .Before Caroline Neumann passed away, he also sent the Bright Mage in the palace to Bad Soden Manor."

"His Majesty Ludwig IV has no more love for Mrs. Caroline?" Marina Homer guessed, men always miss the white moonlight they can't get.

Although her uncle was the most powerful man in the empire, and he was full of kingly demeanor, Marina Homer said that it was not a wise choice to marry someone from the Keouser family.

After learning about Caroline Neumann's life, Marina Homer felt that she was a woman of great wisdom.

Great wisdom is not about how good one is in literature and martial arts, or how many poems and songs one knows, but the ability to see the truth through the prosperous appearance.In the face of astonishing power and wealth, he can calmly find a home that suits him.

Lady Caroline is definitely not what she appears to be.

"No, I think my father has a deep affection for her, but he dare not go to her." Prince Xiben saw his cousin Marina Homer's face wrinkled, and almost wrote three big characters on her face "Why", Prince Nishimoto didn't understand at first, but after he met Angelica...

No.Prince Nishimoto felt that Angelica would not become Caroline, they were fundamentally different.

"I found a very interesting fact in the information about Caroline Neumann collected by my father in the palace." When Prince Xiben said this, he smiled again, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

Marina Homer wondered, "What?"

Prince Nishimoto said: "Lady Caroline married Viscount Neumann at the beginning of May in the imperial calendar 993. At that time, she had been brought to the Pansy Palace by my father. According to the information we have, Neumann The Viscount was a knight of the Royal Guards at that time. It can be guessed that he happened to be in charge of guarding Caroline Neumann at the time. They met in the Pansy Palace. Abandon honor and run away with her.

In mid-May, the father announced his engagement to Queen Celia, and they were married at the end of the month, and the whole ceremony was very hasty.It seems that my father turned into a naive ghost and married the best friend of the goddess of his dreams as revenge.

God knows who he's taking revenge on.

Maybe it was revenge on himself.

Revenge for his own stupidity, not as good as a man, can't even win a woman's heart. "

Marina Homer was surprised: "Cousin Xiben, what's wrong with you?"

Although Prince Siben had a lot of dissatisfaction with His Majesty Ludwig IV before, Marina Homer could feel that Prince Siben still respected His Majesty Ludwig IV very much in his heart.

Never before has he slandered His Majesty Ludwig IV as he does now.

Prince Nishimoto sneered and said, "Have you ever thought that Aachen and Fenfur were born in March 994 in the imperial calendar, and the scholars who treated Queen Celia at that time confirmed that she was pregnant with the couple on their wedding night?" Twins.

This is also the evidence of the deep affection and tenderness between the father and Queen Celia in the imperial capital for many years. Look, how excited the father was on their wedding night.Directly let Queen Celia have two children.

But those who really know the Pansy Palace know that my father and Queen Celia have been separated for almost 20 years, and how many years have they been married in total?Have you turned 21?My good brother and sister are more like an accident.

But do you know when Ace Neumann, the son of Lady Caroline and Viscount Neumann, was born? "

Marina Homer covered her mouth in disbelief.

Prince Xiben moved his neck stiffly, and said, "Ace Neumann, born in January 994 in the imperial calendar! Don't tell me he was a premature baby, how well Viscount Neumann raised their mother and child, Ka How could Mrs. Lorraine give birth prematurely?!"
