The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 866
Chapter 866
For Du Lei, he came to River Bend this time, and there was no reason for the uproar that was heard from the outside world. In fact, he was only here to pick up what Lance had stored in Messiah. Of course, Messiah. The reason for holding a public party to entertain Du Lei.
This was actually proposed by Du Lei. The reason why he did this was not because he cared about the scene or the cards. In fact, Du Lei didn’t care about the formal things at all. He was absolutely great. Most of the time, I like to keep a low profile and try to be as unobtrusive as possible.
But this time, the fanfare was so big because he knew that the Messiah was in a very difficult situation. She was hunted down when she was still in Zezhi City, which explains the problem. Henry from the capital Both His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness William can no longer tolerate the Messiah.
Now even if the Messiah safely returns to River Bend, it is completely conceivable that the royal capital will exert pressure on the river Bend area, and Du Lei has also inquired about some news that the six major ports originally belonged to the vassals of the Duke of River Bend. They also had close conversations with the emissaries of the royal capital.
It is obvious that Zezhicheng is trying to divide the six big families and make them move closer to the royal capital.
For this reason, the royal capital has also offered very generous terms, which is hard to be disheartening!
After all, between the King and the Duke of the Bay, most people will choose the former. After all, the Duke of the Bay is a woman and a young woman. Let these retainers treat the Messiah like the previous Duke of the Bay. Asia, it is very difficult to do.
In this situation, Messiah can be said to be perilous, so Du Lei decided to add some help to her.
Then she suggested that she hold a public banquet so that everyone knows that the inspector of the original snow country has come to the Numa country.
However, the inspector general did not go to the royal capital.
This sends out a signal. Although the inspector general has resigned, his influence in the country of snow is not trivial. To some extent, the position of the inspector general also represents the position of the country of snow. , This can be very weighty.
Besides, anyone who knows some inside information knows that the former inspector of the Snow Country has a very close relationship with the Mountain Country.
Not only the country of mountains, but also the country of rain is inextricably linked. This is a very huge force that cannot be underestimated.
At the same time, it is precisely because of Du Lei’s appearance today that many nobles who were still in a hesitant attitude have made up their minds and chose to continue to be loyal to the Messiah, because the river bay area originally had a rivalry with the royal capital. Strength.
Once supported by the country of snow, even the country of mountains and the country of rain, it will be even more solid!
“Du Lei, thank you so much. If it were not for your help, I am afraid I would not be able to suppress the scene.” After all the guests had left, it was already late at night, and the moonlight in the sky was cold, and she sent away Maqilu. Later, Messiah and Durley walked on the street outside the duke’s residence.
She said with heartfelt gratitude, because she had received a lot of news before that, and knew that several nobles planned to find fault and put pressure on it.
Because the river bay area is a huge piece of fat, once the duke of the river bay changes ownership, then this big piece of fat must have a brand new segmentation, but anyone with a knife and fork in his hand wants to get a piece of the pie. .
But with the appearance of Du Lei, this group of people retreated, and no one dared to act rashly until they knew the details.
“Actually, I didn’t do anything special. Messiah, you took on such a responsibility at a young age. This is really remarkable.” Du Lei waved his hand. His words were not entirely a compliment to Messiah. Ya, he knows that Messiah has always been very hardworking and serious.
“Because the agreement has been made, so we must work hard.” Messiah blinked at Du Lei and said.
She deliberately spoke only half way, Du Lei’s clean profile was seen in the moonlight.
“Agreement? Messiah, you really take things from your childhood seriously.” Du Lei said helplessly.
“Of course I take it seriously, why not take it seriously, and I was a child at that time, Du Lei, you are not a child, we obviously agreed, or do you want to say that it doesn’t count?” Messiah was somewhat Said reproachfully.
“Okay, I’m afraid of you, it’s so late now, I almost should go back.” Du Lei finally got over from seasickness, and was busy going to the Duke’s mansion to support the Messiah. He But I was so sleepy a long time ago.
“By the way, Du Lei.” Messiah suddenly stopped him.
“What’s wrong, what’s the matter?” Du Lei asked her back.
“It’s something, what Lance gave me before.” Messiah explained.
“What’s wrong with things?” Du Lei naturally remembered this. After all, he came to River Bay for this.
“That’s it. Take it back and study it first. Anyway, I don’t understand it.” Messiah took a black package from the hand of the chief guard, that is, Bill. The package was flat. It looks a little heavy.
“Can’t understand?” Du Lei frowned, he didn’t understand the meaning of Messiah for a while.
“Anyway, you’ll know after you take it back. I think I’ve completed what Lance gave me, then Du Lei…you won’t get the things and leave?” Messiah is more concerned about Du Lei’s presence. The question of how long to stay in River Bend.
“It’s not enough. Anyway, I have nothing else to do recently. I can stay in River City for a while, and as far as the current situation in River City is concerned, if I leave, what happens suddenly? Situation, that’s troublesome.” Du Lei shook his head and said.
“Will you stay? That’s great, but Du Lei, can’t you live in the duke’s mansion? Why do you have to live in the hotel?” Messiah asked curiously.
“It’s better to live in a hotel. If I live in the Duke’s mansion, I will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.” Du Lei shook his head and said.
“I don’t see Du Lei, who has always been fearless and fearless, do you have something to fear?” Messiah said with interest.
“Forget it, anyway, I’m going back first. You can let me know if you have anything.” Du Lei was really hard to defend against Messiah, so he could only say goodbye and leave in a hurry.
“Understood, if something happens, Bill or Zelen will look for you, then Du Lei will see you again, and you will rest early when you go back.” Messiah watched the latter go away after saying goodbye to Du Lei. .
The moonlight is quiet, and the water is quiet.
Everything is quiet.
After returning to the hotel, Du Lei, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly became completely sleepy.
Because at this time he had already opened the package that the Messiah gave him, to be precise, Lance asked the Messiah to pass it on to him.
Inside the parcel is a slate, or to be precise, an incomplete part of a slate. The slab is square and square, and its length and width are no more than three feet.
But it can be seen that this is only part of a huge slab.
It’s no wonder that the package was so heavy.
The stone slabs are carved with ancient characters and patterns. The lines on the top look very historical. To be less, they have a history of hundreds of years or even longer. These characters are unknown to Du Lei. He had worked at Hanshuang University for a period of time. time.
Of course, during that time he taught alchemy, but he was able to communicate with many university teachers, including several experts in the study of ancient characters, and he was also able to learn several ancient characters recognition methods.
However, the recognition methods he learned are not applicable at this time, because he found that these characters seem to be older.
“Is this what Lance he wants to hand over to me? I don’t know where he got it, the ancient slate…and what is the information recorded above…” Du Lei frowned and thought carefully. .
He knew that besides the commonly used function of paving the ground, slate also had another function in history, which was the ability to record events.
In the absence of paper and pen, ancient people would carve information on stone out of ancient and solemn mystery.
This method of spreading information is ancient, but very practical, because even in the past hundreds of thousands of years, it still exists.
“It might be a little difficult to decipher the words above with common methods, so there is only…” Just when Du Lei felt that it was very difficult to decipher, which was beyond the scope of his ability, he suddenly became alert because he noticed that there were a lot of things outside. People are approaching.
Realizing this, he put the stone slab away immediately and placed it under the table.
Because although he didn’t know what was recorded on this slate, since Lance insisted on showing this slate to him, there must be a reason. He believed that this slate was very precious and could never be damaged.
Then he blew out the candles in the room, and soon the originally bright room became very dark.
The dim moonlight can be seen from the window alone, but with this light, it is not enough to illuminate the entire room.
But Du Lei clearly heard a “swish swish” sound coming in, this was someone firing a crossbow arrow into the room!
It’s just that these crossbow arrows were frozen in the ice the moment they shot into the room and fell to the ground.
However, in addition to the crossbow arrows, there were shadows rushing in. These shadows were well-trained and cooperated very well with each other.
They attacked Du Lei, and their knives were all directed at Du Lei’s vitals. It was obvious that they wanted to put Du Lei to death!
If they are attacking someone else, they might have been recruited. In fact, as a well-trained killer, their success rate is very high.
Strictly speaking, the tasks they have performed so far have never failed!
But after encountering Du Lei, the situation became a little different, because Du Lei went through a step-by-step life-and-death fight before he came here. These assassins alone can’t do anything to him. Catch the sharp blade cut by the opponent.
After snatching a long knife, he severed the necks of three people in a flash.
There were four people who rushed into the room, that is to say, he still left a living.
“Who sent you here?” Du Lei asked coldly.
With the help of the dim moonlight, you can see the other party covering his face and wearing black clothes. He can’t see his appearance clearly, but through his eyes, he can see his panic, a kind of powerless, desperate panic!
Because they had miscalculated the assassination of the target, the target’s ability was far beyond their ability!
“Swish swish.” Just then, several more arrows shot in from outside the window.
But it was different from the crossbow arrow used to shoot him just now. This time it was a rocket, and soon the flames spread quickly.
The flames burned suddenly, the situation was out of control, spreading into a sea of flames.
This was especially clear from the outside. A group of masked people looked at the burning hotel from a distance. They confirmed that the target must be burned to death, and then returned to their lives.
The moonlight was cold with a bit of chill. It was a long night, at least for Helden.
Originally he planned to propose to Messiah tonight, and he has a high degree of confidence in this proposal. After all, their Octopus family is the second-ranked family in the river bay area and has great influence. .
Now the Messiah’s position is unstable, and the king is very worried about her, and all deliberately want to kill her.
And even the Octopus family received a secret letter from the royal capital.
Now the Octopus family is faced with two choices. One is to help the royal capital and serve a certain majesty. After this is done, they will become the largest family in the river bay area and obtain the title of the duke of the river bay!
But there is an uncertainty here, because there are two princes in the royal capital, William and Henry, which means that they must choose one of the two princes. This is the right choice. Naturally, the future is unlimited, but if you choose Wrong, then it is tantamount to annihilation.
Therefore, the Octopus family had to be more cautious when facing the secret letter of the royal capital.
They have another choice, which is to abandon the royal capital and choose the Duke of the Bay, which is the Messiah. They are keenly aware that the current Messiah is in a very dangerous situation, and a little carelessness will be forever.
So if their octopus family stands up and clearly supports the Messiah at this time, then the latter’s position will surely be further consolidated. On the contrary, if the octopus family stands up against the Messiah, then the Messiah’s situation It will be worse.
They can take advantage of this to allow Messiah to reach a common point of interest with their Octopus family.
In other words, if Helden marries Messiah, they can achieve a win-win situation.
