Chapter 164: Royal Court Meeting (1)
King Arthur's Court, the Holy Mountain of Honor.
Merlin stood beside Arthur's throne and looked anxiously outside the hall.
There was no one on the throne, and King Arthur still hadn't shown up to this day, which made Merlin very anxious.
"My king didn't come, why didn't Desmond come either?"
The hall was already full of people, divided into left, right and rear groups. The group on the left was headed by three old knights wearing armor. Although the three of them were already over seventy years old, there was a faint sense of evil suppressing the presence. of all people.
The person on the right is a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes. The man has long blond hair hanging down his shoulders. He has a warm smile at the corner of his mouth, giving people a sense of peace of mind that everything is under control.
As for those separated in the rear, they were the smallest group, and the leader was none other than Roland of the Death Knights, who was leaning on the wall and playing with his fingers.
The long-haired man slowly stepped forward and said, "There's no need to wait for Desmond, he's going to find their old leader..."
After listening to the long-haired man's words, Merlin's face softened slightly. With the old guy's spooky temperament, he probably wouldn't let Desmond come over today.
Although his expression softened slightly, he still had a hint of sullenness. Desmond's move illustrated two problems. The First Punishment Knights remained neutral and would not make any statement during this meeting.
The Punishment Knights still remain neutral, which shows that the Honor Council's years of wooing have still failed to impress the Punishment Knights. The Punishment Knights still choose to be neutral at the critical moment. This is completely not giving the Honor Council face.
As he spoke, two figures walked slowly outside the hall. Merlin squinted his eyes and took a closer look. On the left was a stunning girl wearing fiery red armor. The person who came was none other than the new generation of Templar Petty.
Next to Petty is King Arthur, who is wearing golden armor and a crown on his head, and his face cannot be seen clearly.
Petty stretched out her hand to support King Arthur. It wasn't until King Arthur stepped onto the stairs and onto the throne that Petty turned around and walked towards the crowd on the left. When he merged into the crowd, Petty nodded and smiled at the old man in the leader.
King Arthur sat on the throne, casually put his hand on his head, and said calmly: "Master Merlin, tell me, what is the purpose of summoning the senior officials here today?"
King Arthur's words caused the expressions of most people present to change slightly.
Today’s ‘King’s Secret Order’ was not issued by King Arthur himself! ? Merlin actually bypassed King Arthur and summoned the top brass of the royal court without permission! ? This move is simply audacious and should be punished!
Before Merlin could speak, an old man on the left side of the throne wearing shining silver armor yelled angrily: "Merlin! What do you mean? You actually bypassed my king and issued the 'Prince's Secret Order' without authorization. You are so bold and have the heart of a rebellious minister." Punish him! My king, please order Master Meilin to be imprisoned in the underground prison for five years!”
Merlin narrowed his eyes and looked at the angry old man, and said coldly: "Cologne, don't be alarmist here. My king has been in poor health recently. It just so happened that something unexpected happened, so extraordinary measures should be taken. Besides, I reported it as soon as I gave the order." Why do you, the king of Ming Dynasty, issue secret orders without permission?
At this time, Roland, who was standing at the outermost periphery, looked like he was watching a show, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Roland wanted to take out Coke, melon seeds, popcorn and mazza from his telescopic pocket, but he could only hold back and feel comfortable looking at the situation in front of him. The urge to watch the show, but the fiery eyes still cannot be concealed
"That's enough, I'm not here to listen to your noises! Merlin issued a secret order without authorization and dealt with it as appropriate afterwards. He was imprisoned for half a month to think about his mistakes! The Knight of Cologne, at such an old age, still has a hot temper. He arbitrarily criticized the humerus at will. Sir, after the meeting, go to the prison with Master Merlin to think about it!"
King Arthur interrupted the quarrel between the two, knocked on the throne casually, looked at Merlin and said: "Arch Mage, please tell me, what happened? It is so serious that a 'King's Secret Order' needs to be issued."
Merlin nodded and explained respectfully: "News came from the mithril mine in Ireland a week ago... Now it can be confirmed that three Templars are missing. Among them, Rhaegarn and Geraint were probably killed by Grindelwald. attack."
Merlin briefly explained what happened recently. From beginning to end, Merlin described the entire incident very objectively, without expressing his own opinions.
As soon as Merlin finished speaking, the blond man sitting next to him took a step forward and said, "My king, after initial investigation, we found that this matter is not as simple as imagined. We suspect that a mysterious force is secretly attacking the royal court. , this matter must be guarded against.”
"Mysterious force? Tell me what you think!" King Arthur sat up slightly and looked at the blond man.
"Through clue investigation, it is now confirmed that the mysterious force controls the magic of the 'death side', and at the same time, the other party can control a large number of dementors. We speculate that the other party may be the remnants of the Eye of Danatus. At the same time, the other party should be in contact with Grindelwald There was contact, and the two sides joined forces to attack Regan and Geraint. It’s just that Norway has completely fallen, so we can’t go to Norway to investigate.”
"Now that Britain is alone overseas, Northern Europe and the European continent have fallen. Even if you know that the other party is the remnant of the Eye of Danatus, it will not help. Tell me how to deal with it!" King Arthur did not get entangled in the blond man's analysis and asked. road.
As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy discussion under the throne could be heard, and it fell silent for a long time, with no one speaking.
At this moment, Merlin sighed and said: "This matter shouldn't be that simple... I think it's very unusual that the other party attacked the three Templar Knights so quickly..."
"Heh, why don't you just say that there is a traitor in the royal court? Why bother hiding it?" The old Templar Knight Cologne looked at Merlin with wide eyes and sneered.
"It's obvious, anyone with a brain can see it!" Merlin retorted without hesitation.
"Who does the great wizard suspect is the traitor?" Cologne asked with suppressed anger.
Merlin didn't say anything, and the blond man next to him took over the conversation and said, "Whoever benefits is who?"
"Blond King! Why don't you just say it's us!" Cologne shouted angrily, "I have shed my life for the royal court, how can you monkeys who play power games like you can arbitrarily criticize me! Believe it or not, I will chop you off today!"
As he said that, Cologne drew out the knight's heavy sword, and the people behind him also drew out their long swords and were eager to try.
'Oh, roo! Fight, fight! Fuck him! Fuck him! ! ' Roland was so excited that he couldn't control himself. The villain in his heart kept fanning the flames. In Roland's opinion, today's show was worth watching! It would be better to kill a few of those bastards in the parliament to add to the excitement!
