Chapter 569 Retaliation II

About an hour later, Woodnick showed up. ~Apex Fiction,

With a troop of knights, accompanied by Eli, the royal silver knight.

"Your Excellency Zelgon, are you alright?"

Although this elderly royal adviser is very rigid, it has to be said that under such rigidity, the other party has an unparalleled sense of responsibility.

Scanning the nightgown under the other's coat, Dean easily guessed the state in which the other party appeared here.

"It's nothing, just encountered a clumsy assassination!"

Dean pointed to the frozen but not dead palace envoy in front of him.

"I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Woodnick said in a low voice.

"Of course! By the way, the knight who left before should be with him—I don't think you have received his report, have you?"

Dean nodded, reminding the other party.

"No, I'm because of another thing - a king's servant was killed, and he was the one who really came to greet you!"

Woodnick shook his head.

"The murderer is here, and you need to find the accomplice!"

Dean said so.

"Take it down!"

Woodnick ordered coldly, and the surrounding knights swarmed up and tied up the palace envoy. In fact, under the freezing conditions, such an approach was completely unnecessary.

However, the Cavaliers just acted on instinct.

"It's great that you have nothing to do!"

After boarding the carriage again, Woodnick sat opposite Dean and let out a long breath.

"As the envoy of the palace, you should at least understand some of my habits. What's more, put some seemingly harmless poisons in front of me... If I was hurt by such a stupid assassin, I would I think I'm already dead!"

Dean said slowly.

In fact, the original Dean didn't see anything amiss.

It wasn't until the other party opened the bag of spices that Dean realized something was wrong.

Because, among those spices, there are several harmless and beneficial single use, but once used in combination, they are highly toxic spices.

Then, a simple temptation. The other party couldn't bear to make a move.

An assassin with the strength of a knight!

Apart from the fact that the opponent was actually born in the royal palace, the whole assassination was so clumsy.

Especially the 'fleeing in a hurry' of the peripheral responders made Dean conclude that this was not a premeditated assassination, but an impromptu assassination.

"Such assassins are not stupid, on the contrary, I think they are very smart - they used their true identities, and ordinary people can't find out at all... The only thing they didn't take into account is that they didn't think of your strength, Your Excellency Zelgang And be careful!"

Woodnick shook his head, then reiterated.

"I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"Um!"

Dean nodded.

after. The carriage entered the Emerald City unimpeded all the way, passing through the Emerald Square. The emerald dome was already in sight.

Two teams of palace guards formed a welcome team that was not out of the ordinary.

The royal silver Elanke who also had a relationship with Dean was standing on the steps waiting.

"Your Excellency Zelgon!"

The short, thin Baiyin, although his hair was already gray, was still in high spirits and had a loud voice.

"Your Excellency Elanke!"

Dean responded with a smile.

Woodnick on the side said hello and left in a hurry.

Obviously, a small accident before was enough to make the royal advisor busy again.

"Let's go, His Majesty is waiting for you!"

As Elanke spoke, he walked to one side.

It wasn't in the main hall or hall of the palace, but still in the small courtyard, the emerald young king was sitting in a chair with his eyes slightly closed, feigning sleep.

The young king sat up when he heard footsteps.

Not wearing a crown, just wearing a blue-green emerald royal costume.

"Miss Zelgang, this way!"

The young king waved to Dean with a smile on his lips, but there was an undisguised exhaustion on his face.

Perhaps, this young king is not very mature in the eyes of others.

Even, it is very straightforward to think that the young king relied on Grand Duke Emerald to ascend the throne and become king.

Quite naturally, the young king's own efforts were ignored.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing the young king's tired expression, Dean bowed and saluted, and then sat in the chair indicated by the young king.

"Your previous assassination should be the remnants of Lidnik's forces!"

When Dean sat down, the young king spoke directly.

Lidnick, who has a similar identity to Woodnick, is from the Emerald Royal Family, but this member of the royal family obviously has other thoughts.

Not only colluding with Jade's former Minister of Military Affairs Deron Wolf, but also running his own forces.

However, because of Dean's intervention, Deron Wolf died in an accidental duel, and the other party also died.

Then, the young king started a series of 'finishing' actions.

However, judging from the assassins he encountered before, Dean can be sure that the 'finishing' operation is far less smooth than imagined.

"People who are directly related to Lidnik have been hanged on the city wall by me, but more guys have been hidden-before, a murder occurred in my palace, and they should be greeted instead of me. Your valet was killed in his room, and then you were attacked by an assassin... that assassin came from the palace!"

The young king spoke slowly.

The tiredness on his face was replaced by anger, but there was no trace of fear.

Dean knew that the other party was not a timid person.

But he is a more impulsive person.

"I have ordered a thorough search of the entire palace - I must find those guys!"

The young king said with gritted teeth.

This approach did not exceed Dean's expectations.

Again, Dean didn't say much.

remove. Inappropriate status. Dean believed that Woodnick had said something of the sort of persuasion.

Since close ministers and advisors like Woodnick can't change His Majesty's thoughts. Dean didn't think he could.

In other words, he needs to pay a considerable price to reverse the young king's thoughts.

And that's what Dean doesn't want to see.

So Dean kept silent.

And the young king didn't stop talking because of Dean's silence. On the contrary, he seemed to have found a confidant and became eloquent.

"Those nobles are staring at me all the time. I do well, and it's a matter of course. If I don't do well, I become fatuous and incompetent, and they always stand on the highest point of morality and accuse me— — Even in private, they are doing all kinds of excessive things, but they are still full of honor and dignity!"

"As for my ministers, they come from these noble families. The first moment they encountered something, they didn't think of solving the problem for me. They thought about the impact this matter would have on their own family! Even, even In my palace. They are also full of their eyeliner, monitoring my every move!"

Having said this, the young king slammed the table hard.

The tea utensils on the top bounced up one after another due to the violent shock force, fell to the ground, and fell to pieces.

However, it was obvious that everyone outside had been ordered, and there was no further movement except for Elanke who took a look.

Whoops, whoops!

The young king breathed rapidly, as if he wanted to calm down his anger through such panting.

"I lost my temper!"

About two or three minutes later, the young king looked at Dean and smiled apologetically.

Then, the young king looked at Dean with envious eyes——

"How great would it be if I could obtain the same talent as Sir Zelgang? With sufficient resources, I can accomplish achievements that others cannot accomplish in a short period of time, so that everyone can only look up to their own existence... In this way It must be a wonderful feeling!"

The words of the young king could not tell whether they were sighs or praises.

"Your Majesty, you have already made everyone look up to you—even gold-ranked powerhouses!"

Dean replied like this.

"I... represent the kingship, but my brilliance has been overshadowed—Dean, you only performed the baptism of the great knight, right?"

The young king looked at Dean and said word by word, and then asked suddenly.

"um, yes!"

Dean nodded.

Such things are basically semi-public, and if you want to inquire, you can easily inquire.

"Then, on Midsummer Night, shall I preside over the baptism of the Silver Knight for you?"

After pondering for a while, the young king asked.

Such words made Dean's heart tighten.

Knight baptism has special significance for both the baptist and the host.

Even, in the eyes of some old-fashioned people, this is a ceremony of loyalty, and even the most enlightened people regard such a ceremony as an expression of extreme goodwill.

And Dean's knight and grand knight's baptism are all related to Grand Duke Emerald.

Now, for the baptism of the Silver Knight, the young king in front of him asked to preside over it.

This made Dean naturally have some thoughts in his heart.

However, it is still expected.

"Your Majesty, my current 'road' is not clear enough. I want to wait until the 'road' is clear before performing the baptism of the Silver Knight!"

Dean said what he had thought of long ago.

He didn't want to mention Grand Duke Emerald or use Grand Duke Emerald as an excuse to further deteriorate the relationship between Grand Duke Emerald and the young king in front of him.

Therefore, he can only find some high-sounding excuses.

And the so-called 'road' is naturally the best choice.

"Miss Zelgang, you want to complete the transformation of gold when the silver knight is baptized..."

The young king looked at Dean in surprise.
