Dominate the world in three weeks?

The weather in late spring has become warmer, but when the first ray of sunlight in the morning hits the top of the towering bell tower in the imperial capital, people feel a bone-chilling chill.

The news of Joey Abant's death was not concealed, and as the next day came, it spread through the streets and alleys, adding a layer of cloud to the increasingly tense atmosphere.

Everyone has an ominous premonition in their hearts - the war may not be far away.

Not to mention the panic of the commoners, but the hearts of the nobles are full of anger.

Joey Abant's trip was the result of mutual compromise and negotiation between the major forces.Everyone has their own thoughts, such as taking this opportunity to check whether Joey maintains contact with the church, or whether Abant has sent spies into the imperial capital to contact Joey Abant... But no matter what, no one wants this The enemy prince was assassinated and died like this-at least the other party should not die so suddenly that they were caught off guard.

In the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Campbell, the servants were even more trembling and did not dare to speak out.Because it is not only their master who is furious, but also the mysterious guest who usually lives in seclusion.

Strange to say, this guest looked less than twenty, but the aura of the other party's anger was more frightening than that of Earl Campbell.

Terrence tightly clutched the book in his hand, fixed his eyes on Kantel and asked, "Lancer's whereabouts still can't be found out?"

Earl Cantor lowered his eyelids and remained calm: "The other party did not leave any clues. I am still asking people to continue to investigate, but I am afraid there will still be no progress."

Terrence looked at Kantel with vague eyes for a few seconds, took a deep breath and stopped pressing: "Even if there is a little news, please let them continue to search for Lancer's whereabouts."

Cantor nodded, seeing that Terrence's mood seemed to have calmed down, and he turned to talk about the assassination of Joey Abant.

"Now it is an indisputable fact that he was assassinated and killed. The big nobles who participated in the decision-making were attacked in the parliament, and Duke Pacino was questioned again because of his arbitrariness. Although the consequences of this incident are very bad, but for you However, it is an opportunity.”

Terrence rested his hands on his chin, closed his eyes and let out a long breath. He held back the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and agreed with Earl Cantor's opinion: "You are right. There is no more suitable opportunity than now—no , maybe there will be no chance again. This matter still needs your help—”

After seeing off Earl Cantor, Terrence sat alone in the bright and warm room under the afternoon sun, but his gaze was fixed on the heavy shadows in the room, wondering what he was thinking.

Until the daylight gradually slanted, and the shadow slowly climbed onto his fingertips on the table, the closed door of the room was finally opened.

Evan, the archer captain of the Goshawk Legion, walked in.

Not long after Terrence and Lancer entered the capital, this subordinate who was capable of gathering intelligence and concealment was secretly asked by the leader of the Lawrence Legion to follow him.

Now he obviously comes in handy.

"How?" Terrence looked at Evan expectantly in his eyes.

"As your Excellency expected, the Earl of Cantor really knew about Lancer. But I don't understand, why did he hide it?"

Evan once experienced danger with Lancer, and he admired the other party's perseverance and loyalty. Therefore, when he learned that Earl Cantor deliberately concealed Lancer's news, he couldn't help feeling confused and even more indignant.

Terrence slightly hooked the corners of his lips, but it was difficult to smile.It was probably because he cared too much about Lanser's safety, which made Earl Cantor suspicious—of course, it didn't mean that the other party saw any ambiguous relationship between the two, but that Terrence In terms of the current situation, any person or thing that makes him pay too much attention is a flaw and weakness to him.

Earl Cantor did not have bad intentions in doing this, on the contrary, he deceived him just for Terrence's sake.This kind of politician's consideration may be difficult for Evan to understand.

So Terrence did not explain in detail, but said that Earl Cantor was not targeting Lancer, and immediately asked about Lancer's whereabouts.

Evan frowned slightly, and repeated the news he had quietly heard from Cantel, and said, "Earl Cantel has no substantive evidence, but judging from the identities and abilities of the four attackers, there may be some ..." He said, and looked at Terrence hesitantly, "It was written by Aldrett's house."

Aldrett—that was Terrence's last name.But talking about this word in the imperial capital now will only make people think of its current owner, Angus.

No wonder Kantel is unwilling to disclose the slightest bit of news, which is probably also an important reason.

Terrence flattened his eyebrows, looking calm and harmless, but Evan suddenly felt the hairs all over his body explode.He seldom saw Terrence make a shot, but for a long time, the other party gave him the impression of a gentle and resilient vine, but at this moment, Evan seemed to see the belt growing on the vine. The poisonous thorn.

"Angus Ed..." Terrence chewed on the name, his eyes turned cruel.

In the dark basement, only four torches on the wall illuminate the damp place.

The man woke up from a short sleep, his arms struggled unconsciously a few times, and the iron chain that tied him made a rattling sound.He was still wearing the uniform of the royal family's bodyguard, and with that dark golden hair, it was obvious that he was Sai Lan who disappeared in the assassination of Abant a few days ago.And the complete face that had lost the blindfold proved another identity of the other party—Lancer Schevenlieu, whom Terrence was trying his best to find.

In order to prevent Joey Abant from being assassinated, Lancer relied on the help of Earl Cantor and became one of the prince's personal guards.Who knew that in the end, the killer would get his hands on it.

Lancer recalled that the four mages who appeared suddenly at that time lost the initiative because they subconsciously believed that the opponent's target was Joy Abant. As a result, not only was he captured, but the prince also died in the subsequent real assassination.

To say why Lancer knew so clearly what happened after he was arrested, it was thanks to the man who locked him here.

He looked up at Angus who was walking down the stone steps slowly, with a cold expression.

Angus tilted his head, as if he couldn't see Lancer's indifference, and walked in front of the blond knight with a smile on his face.His stature reached up to Lancer's chest, so he could only look up at the hanging man, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by the man's firm jawline.

Angus asked himself that he was not a person who liked the same sex, but Lancer made him have a possessive desire similar to love.He didn't know whether it was because he gradually fell in love with the other party during the long-term gaze, or it was just out of jealousy for Terrence.

But what does it matter?Anyway, Lancer will belong to him sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Angus narrowed his eyes happily, and put his fingers into Lancer's lapel.He knew that just under his fingertips, on the man's chest was the exact same tattoo as Terrence's - more precisely, it was a magical and wonderful magic circle.

Lancer put his eyes on the dancing flames, tried his best to ignore Angus' touch, and asked, "Who are the four mages who captured me?"

"Why, do you want to take revenge on them?" Angus asked casually.

Lancer pretended to be arrogant and replied: "I think I am as capable as anyone, how could your subordinates catch me so easily?"

Angus was not angry at the belittling of Lancer's words, but laughed heartily: "Do you think that only Terrence has countless capable people? Lancer, you think too much of your master." Gao, but I think I am too incompetent. If it is not because of my background - if I am like Terrence, if I have been the owner of the Duke's Mansion since I was a child, then I can do better than him and reach a higher level than him. s position!"

Angus said, shaking his head suddenly: "No - in fact, what about my origin? You see, the title of duke is now mine. He can't even keep his own things, and I, But you can keep getting more! More! Lancer, the master you are loyal to is the incompetent. Follow me, you can get better."

In the past few days, Angus has said this many times.Lancer completely ignored it, and he was more concerned about another matter.

He stared at Angus and said: "You know whether you are a capable person or not, Angus Ed. When it comes to conspiracy and tricks, Terrence is certainly not your opponent, but you dare not be honest compete with him."

"Shut up!" Angus was finally irritated, "Don't call me that surname! I'm André Wright, I'm the Duke's son, not that dirty woman's child!"

Angus hated the surname Ed, which always reminded him of that backwater village, dirty house and mad mother.All of this is a shame that Angus wants to try his best to forget.

Lancer sneered: "Even if you live in the Duke's mansion, you will never be able to truly become an André Wright for the rest of your life. Terrence's noble status is by no means limited to Shanin Pyle - his blood is far more than yours. Be noble and pure, his mother will never be yours."

Angus was so angry that he calmed down. He was absolutely unwilling to admit that he was worse than Terrence in any way. He caught Lancer's words and laughed: "You are right, the only thing Terrence is worthy of praise is His blood is left. Unfortunately, even his mother's family would like him to die!"

"And I—" Angus turned around and opened his hands, "but even the friendship of his mother's family is in my hands!"

Lancer held his breath, and hid all inquiries in a hesitant and angry tone: "Could it be that you also have connections with the Principality of Sealand?"

Angus patted Lancer's cheek and became happy again, "Otherwise, how do you think I caught you back? Sealand wants to assassinate that idiot Joey Abant, and I want to You, we hit it off right away. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the assassination was also carried out on the same day?"

Things are far more complicated than Angus's few words.In fact, the Principality of Sealand first approached the church.The current status of the Church of Light is very embarrassing, they insist on stationing in Saninpel, regardless of Abant's attitude.What they fancy is that this country is as powerful as Abant, and far richer than Abant.But I didn't expect that the rejection of the church by the upper class of Sanin Pyer was so strong-you must know that the belief of ordinary civilians is not their ultimate goal.

Now, past allies have lost faith in them, and present allies—oh, God of Light, they're not allied at all.

The only way out of this embarrassing situation is war.The ability of the church will shine in war, and there will always be someone who compromises with them—even, the church will become the winner who benefits the most in the war between the two great powers.

The Principality of Sealand is also looking forward to the coming of the war soon, which can give them enough weight to be completely independent.

The two forces reached a consensus on this.Angus, who was trained as the next Holy Son, accepted this task on behalf of the church.His duke status can bring convenience for Sealand to move freely in Shannen Pear.

Bishop Sidney once warned Angus never to tell anyone that he had something to do with the assassination, and the church cannot discredit itself in this situation.

But Angus felt that Lancer was about to become his servant, so he was not very vigilant.What's more, he didn't mention the church in his words.

But his private relationship with the church has long been known to the spies who stayed in the imperial capital.Therefore, as soon as Angus finished speaking, Lancer immediately thought of it.

When he saw Angus after being arrested, he already thought that Angus was involved in the assassination, but when Angus really admitted, Lancer still felt incredible: "Why do you want to join forces with Sealand? Joey As soon as Abant dies, Saninpail will immediately fall into chaos, it is your motherland!"

Angus glanced at him lightly.

A person has lived in poverty and misery since he was a child, and has been blinded and tortured. There is not even a complete home in his world, so how can he have the concept of a country?

Be it Shanning Pyle, the Church, the Duke, or the Holy Son, some people think that they are precious only when they get them, but for Angus, they want to get them because they are precious.

He won't talk to anyone about the past that created him. Maybe he didn't have anything in his first life, but at least he has pride.

This pride has made him little by little, and perhaps, it will destroy him in the future.

Angus didn't think Lancer could understand him.In fact, Lancer really couldn't understand him.To a righteous knight, being pitiful and pathetic is not a sufficient reason for one to do evil.

And use your own misery as an excuse to make innocent people miserable, then this person can only be described as sick.

Fundamentally speaking, Lancer and Angus are not the same people.

Lancer didn't wait for Angus' answer and didn't care. He moved his arms to relieve the pain in his shoulders and closed his eyes again.He already knew what he wanted, so he ignored Angus' existence.

Angus realized Lancer's ignorance, and the other party had been treating him with such an arrogant attitude these days, which rekindled Angus' anger.

He squeezed Lancer's chin tightly, and the sharp fingertips drew a bloody line on the skin.

"Why didn't you talk? Let me guess - you must think Terrence will come to your rescue soon, don't you?"

Lancer opened his eyes and stared at Angus.

Angus smiled and said, "Thinking why I know Terrence is still alive? Of course I know—"

He tore off Lanser's skirt, revealing the exquisite magic circle: "Of course he is not dead, are you right?"

Lancer's expression finally changed, and Angus laughed happily.

"Isn't it because of this thing that you are so heartfelt to him? Relying on the relationship connected by the magic circle-in fact, my brother is just using you."
