At this mont, looking at Ariel's eager eyes, the old king knew that he was almost exhausted, and he understood clearly.
If soone else had ntioned the word "cure", the old king would naturally not have any hope. After all, not even the royal power of a country and Archbishop Severn of the Temple of Light could cure his stubborn disease.
No, I dont even know what the disease is. This can already be gleaned from Ariels words just now.
However, standing next to Ariel was Lei Xiao, a young man from another world who had created breathtaking miraculous achievents one after another and had an unfathomable background.
This is the hero who single-handedly saved the Lengyan Kingdom from water and fire, and his achievents are even comparable to those of the ancestors of the Hero King back then!
With his own strength, he defeated the arrogant corrupt nobles and conquered the three wealthy families who coveted the king's power!
Now that he can cleanly remove the lesions and heal this decayed kingdom that was once riddled with holes, maybe he can really bring himself a glimr of hope!
Thinking of this in his mind, the old king's body couldn't help but begin to tremble with excitent.
If possible, he would also like to silently watch his daughter grow up and beco a wise and great Leng Yan monarch, and even want to have a grandson.
Before this, he had tried his best and given everything for this kingdom.
And now, with the help of this young man from another world, if there is still ti left, he wants to live for himself, just like a retired father who watches his daughter grow up and get married, and has no worries in his heart. generally.
"Your Majesty, don't be excited. Although we are not completely sure yet, Ariel and I both want to give it a try."
Lei Xiao nodded to the excited old king, and then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Your Majesty must have been very clear. The top priority now is to find the crux of your Majesty's problem. Only by prescribing the right dicine can there be hope for a cure."
"What Mr. Lei Xiao said is absolutely true."
The old king slowly took a deep breath and cald down again. He nodded slightly and said, "I guess you want to find so clues from what I saw and heard before I beca seriously ill?"
"That's right. Your Majesty, please carefully recall any noteworthy things that happened before you beca seriously ill, who you t, and any details such as where you felt uncomfortable when you were seriously ill."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then stood quietly and listened.
"That day was originally a hunting day once in January, but because the three neutral organizations of the Alchemist Guild, the rcenary Guild, and the Temple of Light ca to discuss the amount of royal appropriation for the next year, as well as the establishnt of new branches in so remote areas, , so I canceled the hunting activity for the day."
The old king's eyes were blurred, obviously lost in mories.
"Since we agreed with the chief representatives of the three neutral organizations to et at noon and discuss the details while having lunch, I stayed in the Lion's Castle in the morning to handle governnt affairs. There was nothing special about it."
"It's worth ntioning that because Yu was busy with state affairs the day before and was late, he simply stayed in the Lion's Castle and never left the castle."
When the old king said this, Wu Ye nodded and added: "Lion Castle is extrely well-defended like Wolong Castle. Even ten fifth-level experts would have difficulty breaking through in a short ti, let alone sneaking in. And there is a strict and complete access managent system.
"After His Majesty beca seriously ill, I carefully checked the entry and exit records of Lion Castle for a period of ti. No one even entered or exited the castle that morning."
After hearing Wu's addition, Ariel nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, can we completely rule out the morning ti?"
After Ariel finished speaking, she couldn't help but clenched her fists.
That day, she was knitting sweaters, drinking tea and admiring flowers in her castle, but she didn't know that her father was only one step away from life and death.
Noticing Ariel's strangeness, Lei Xiao gently patted her shoulder.
Lei Xiao was naturally aware of Ariel's regret, but at that ti she was just a petite and willful little princess.
Not only is his mind immature, but his strength is only at the weak peak of the third level. Even if he stays with the old king all the ti, not only will he not be able to change anything, but he will only endanger his life.
"Your Highness the Princess is right, the incident must have happened after noon."
Wuwei nodded and couldn't help but sigh softly.
That day, he was training the new recruits of the Guards Corps, while the White Knight was inspecting the defense of the surrounding cities directly under the royal family, and neither of them accompanied the old king.
If one of them had been present, maybe things wouldn't have co to this.
"I'm afraid that the person who took action must have chosen the ti specially. Once he felt that the ti was not ripe, he would definitely not take action."
Lei Xiao also noticed Wu's sigh. He first nodded to the latter, and then muttered: "It seems that the problem is likely to lie with these three neutral organizations."
"Sir, are you saying that one of the three neutral organizations attacked ?"
The old king's resolute face was full of surprise, and he said in disbelief: "Since the blank era, they have been coexisting with the royal families of various countries, and even superior to them."
"Thousands of years of ti have passed, and the spheres of influence of human nations are constantly changing. The rise and fall of each other can be done in a snap. But even if the towers of so countries collapse, or so have no heirs, the three major neutral organizations have never stopped. He has never interfered in the affairs of the human nations, nor has he established his own dynasty."
When he said this, the old king's expression beca more and more puzzled, and he asked doubtfully: "Why do they want to harm ? This simply doesn't make sense."
"Your Majesty does not know sothing. During the ti when you were unconscious, a mysterious organization called the Black Abyss Brotherhood appeared."
Lei Xiao looked at the still vast snowy fields around him, then quickly converged his gaze and described the affairs of the Black Abyss Brotherhood to the old king.
This not only included many confrontations with the powerful n of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, but also emphasized their manipulation of the second prince to seize power.
Finally, Lei Xiao also talked about the surrounding Holy Night Kingdom and Prairie Kingdom, which had similar changes in royal power, and also had the shadow of the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
"There are so many powerful people at the fifth level, infiltrating the nobility, even the royal family, and even trying to secretly control a country?!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, the old king had an expression of disbelief on his face and blurted out: "Black Abyss Brotherhood, I have never heard of this mysterious organization. What do they want to do?"
"This is unknown at this ti."
Lei Xiao's eyes beca more solemn, and he continued: "But from the words of the black-robed man No. 3 in Wangxing City at that ti, it can be confird that it was this organization that attacked your majesty. The purpose was to subvert the imperial court and cause a power dispute. Wait for an opportunity to send the second prince to the throne."
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency Ke Qing is right, and I think so too."
Wu's tone was solemn, and he added: "The Black Abyss Brotherhood is too mysterious and unpredictable. I tried my best, but I couldn't find any useful information."
"I didn't expect that things would turn out like this... This stupid person, the second child, would actually be bewitched and manipulated by this mysterious organization!"
While the old king was angry in his heart, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the young man from another world in front of him took a strong action, otherwise the Cold Fla Kingdom might really cease to exist.
After heaving a sigh of relief, the old king frowned and said in confusion: "I have never heard of the existence of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, but its top combat power has surpassed that of a country's royal family. How exactly is it?" Has it grown in secret?"
"Furthermore, a secret organization can persuade arrogant nobles and even mbers of the royal family to join. What kind of magic power does it possess?"
At this point, the old king seed to realize sothing, and he suddenly realized sothing to Lei Xiao: "I understand! No wonder Sir suspected that one of the three neutral organizations was responsible. If the Black Abyss Brotherhood is based on a certain If we rely on a large neutral organization that is independent of the royal family, it is very reasonable to do this."
"That's exactly the case, but there are also so incredible things in it. For example, so of these fifth-level powerhouses of the Brotherhood called "Shuras" were active thousands of years ago. Mr. Wu has confird this before, and it is absolutely There is no strong person active in the contemporary era. "
Lei Xiao frowned, then shrugged helplessly and said: "Although I have so detailed clues, it is not enough to deduce how the other party did it."
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao said was naturally the words "Rebel" on the equipnt attribute column.
"All this is indeed too incredible, but it is also the most reasonable explanation."
The old king gently stroked his short beard and pondered for a long ti before speaking: "It was only when the alien race moved that it would step forward to protect the entire human race. A huge neutral organization that overca the king's power actually conspired to overthrow it. If you put the royal power before, I would never believe it."
"This also further proves from the side how terrifying the Black Abyss Brotherhood and the forces behind them are, because they did not reveal any tricks at all and were perfectly hidden until they took the initiative to stir up trouble."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then changed the topic and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, now that you understand the cause of the matter, please carefully recall whether the representatives of the three major neutral organizations acted out of the ordinary during the banquet."
"Understood."
The old king's resolute eyes were blurred, and he fell into mories again.
"Lunch was held in the second VIP restaurant of Lion Castle, which is smaller and quieter, just right for dining and conversation."
"The content of the lunch is just an ordinary royal nu. It is exactly the sa for everyone. It is cooked by the royal chef. There is nothing special about it. The representatives of the three neutral organizations did not bring any als or drinks. "
"I clearly rember that in order not to lose etiquette, the representatives of the three major neutral organizations only left empty plates in the end. On the contrary, I had a poor appetite and left so food."
The old king carefully recalled every detail and described everything in detail.
"Except for and the two teams of well-trained guard maids and head maids, the only people attending the luncheon were Vice President Rupert of the Cold Fla Branch of the rcenary Guild, and Alf of the Cold Fla Branch of the Alchemist Guild. Vice President Reid, and Chief Light Bishop Severn of the Cold Fla Branch of the Light Temple."
"As for the specific content of the conversation, it is just what I just said, and there is nothing worth noting."
After listening to the old king's description, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
Since the food is prepared by the royal family and everyone eats the sa, there is almost no possibility of any clues.
Otherwise, the mysterious organization can kill the old king at any ti, and there is no need for representatives of the three neutral organizations to appear.
Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that the mysterious organization may confuse the public and try to draw our attention to the three neutral organizations, but judging from the series of speculations just now, this is very slim.
"If it is really a representative of the three neutral organizations who took action, the clues will definitely appear on the representatives themselves."
Ariel frowned and said in deep thought: "In terms of strength alone, because Vice President Rupert of the rcenary Guild and Vice President Alfred of the Cold Fla Branch of the Alchemist Guild are both He is at the peak level of the fourth level, and is undoubtedly the only fifth level strongman present, so Archbishop Severn is more suspicious."
Speaking of this, Ellie imdiately rejected her idea, shook her head and said: "But the Temple of Light has always been responsible for saving lives and healing the wounded. It has also helped the human race many tis at any cost and sacrificed countless lives when the human race was in danger. How can bishops and priests, who are considered the patron saints of the human race, be the masterminds behind a mysterious organization?
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's analysis is very reasonable. Compared with the rcenary guild that desires financial benefits and the alchemist guild that desires heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the Temple of Light is indeed the most unlikely one."
Wu thought for a mont, nodded and said: "Both the fifth-level presidents of the rcenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild are not in place. If this is really the only fifth-level strongman present, Archbishop Seven of the Temple of Light will act as , isnt that too obvious? With the prudence of the mysterious organization, Im afraid it wont fall into such a trap.
"Mr. Wu is right. I think it is the other two neutral organizations whose presidents are both absent. They seem to be deliberately diverting our ~ Erza tilted her head, if there is any He thought: "In other words, maybe one of the other two neutral organizations deliberately transferred the fifth-level president just to eliminate their own suspicions. "
"This possibility cannot be ignored. All of this was done quietly, and even I, who was half-stepping to the fifth level, didn't notice anything. Perhaps Archbishop Severn was just kept in the dark."
The old king recalled the scene carefully and nodded in agreent.
"With the current clues, it is still difficult to trace the true identity of the mysterious organization. Let's not make unnecessary speculations for the ti being. It is more important to get down to business."
Lei Xiao first nodded to everyone, then turned to the old king and asked patiently: "Your Majesty, apart from these, is there anything else worth noting at the banquet?"
"Let think about it more carefully."
The old king frowned and thought for a mont, then seed to rember sothing, and his eyes lit up.
