The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 874
Chapter 874
The old king, who had run out of oil, summoned Messiah to the city of Ze. This seemed to be a normal thing, because Messiah is his niece, they have the same surname, and they are all one family. People, before that, she would go to Zezhicheng to see him every year.
But this time the old king summoned Messiah is very different, because it was summoned in private, and he confessed his mistakes in the presence of Messiah and admitted that he had sent someone to assassinate him. His younger brother, Dorak, also the father of Messiah.
While confessing, the old king decided to return the throne to Dorak. Of course, Dorak was no longer there. So he gave the throne to Dorak’s daughter, the Messiah, so that he could be relieved of his guilt. He also knew My life is coming to an end.
Since he was blindfolded by power, his whole personality has changed drastically, and his body is getting worse and worse. He knows that he will soon reach the end of his life. Before leaving this world, he tried to do something. To make up for the only debt in my heart.
Of course, Messiah decisively rejected him at the time, because Messiah believed that he was not qualified for the position of king, and she had actually heard about the things that year, and she had heard countless rumors when she was a child. Repeatedly, but this time it was finally confirmed.
Messiah was unwilling to entangle with the things of the year, so after she refused, she planned to leave Zezhi City and return to River Bay. She continued to be her River Bay Duke and managed the territory her father left her for as long as If the people in the river bay area can live in peace and contentment, she is very content.
But not long after she bid farewell to the old King Charlie, she was assassinated. She realized that she was no longer safe and fled the city of Ze under the protection of Bill. Later, she met Du Lei, which happened. This series of things.
“At that time, I had obviously rejected your uncle, but I didn’t expect the next series of things to happen.” Messiah said helplessly.
“I think it was because the content of your conversation between the old king and Messiah was leaked out. The two princes William and Henry knew about it. In order to consolidate their position, they put down the estrangement and decided to work together to solve you. After defeating your common enemy, they will fight again, right?” Du Lei also figured out the whole process of the whole thing.
“But I didn’t even have the intention to fight with them.” Messiah never had too much ambition, otherwise she would not refuse at the time.
“What they care about is not Messiah whether you have the intention to participate in the fight, but you pose a threat to them, so they tried their best to solve the Messiah. This is how the city of the river was born. Once you are defeated in the Battle of River Bend, your destiny must be a dead end waiting for the Messiah, but now it is them who are defeated in the Battle of River Bend. The situation is completely different.”
“Obviously they all have the same surname, but didn’t they expect to kill each other?” Messiah really didn’t understand what her two cousins thought.
“In front of power, few people can guarantee a clear head, then Messiah, what do you plan to do next?”
“What’s next? I don’t know. It’s probably the same as before. Run the river bay area properly. This is the only thing my father left for me.” Messiah thought for a while, said bitterly, to her In other words, River Bend City is almost equivalent to everything.
“But if you ignore Zezhi City, they will attack Messiah one after another. Even if you get lucky this time Messiah wins the battle of River Bay City, do you think you have always had good luck? “Du Lei did not agree with Messiah’s point of view.
“This…” Messiah asked Du Lei for a while, and she didn’t know how to face such a problem.
“Messiah, you have to do something, you have to save this country, if Duke Dolac is still alive, surely you don’t want to see the current situation, right?” Du Lei asked rhetorically.
“But Du Lei, what should I do?” Messiah had no clue at all, and could only ask the person she trusted the most.
“The first thing to be solved is the Old Port problem. The Octopus family also participated in the plan to assassinate Duke Dolac, right?”
“Hey, Du Lei, how do you know…” Messiah was taken aback, because she only learned about it from the old king after she met the old king in the city of Ze, but she just now He didn’t tell Du Lei about this.
“I investigated the incident that year, and asked the participants in some of the surviving incidents. Among them, I can get the inexhaustible connection with the participation of the Octopus family, so I guess that they were involved in the plan to assassinate Duke Dorak. Du Lei explained.
“It is indeed the case. The place where the thieves were entrenched was the territory of the Octopus family. The Octopus family asked their father to help them on the grounds that they were unable to conquer the thieves. Only then did the father personally lead the guard to fight the thieves, but they are coming. After reaching the place where the thieves were entrenched, due to an emergency in the old port, my father sent half of the guards to deal with it. This caused my father to be insufficient when he went deep into the thieves’ site.”
Messiah couldn’t be more clear about what happened back then. Although she was not a participant, it was her father who died. She has been investigating the truth.
“Now the Octopus family is colluding with Zezhi City again. Everyone knows their ambitions. Now they openly betrayed Messiah. Whether it is new or old hatred, they should be dealt with.” Du Lei said softly. Said.
“But Du Lei, what should I do with this?” Messiah was still at a loss, not sure what to do.
“It is divided into two steps, the first step is to win the title, and the second step is to suppress.” Du Lei had already prepared a countermeasure and said calmly.
“Capture the title? But the title is conferred by the royal family, and I am not qualified to win the title.” Messiah frowned and said.
“You only need to seize the title of the Octopus Family in the name of the old king.”
“But Zezhicheng won’t admit it.” Messiah thought that such an approach was inappropriate.
“No, they will admit it.” Du Lei shook his head, and he said very positively.
“Oh? Why?” Messiah didn’t think about the causal relationship between the two.
“Because the royal capital lost the battle of River Bay City, what are they most afraid of now? The most feared thing is that River Bay City will pursue the victory and organize the army to fight to Zezhi City. This will fundamentally shake Prince William’s battle. Status, so this is the only thing he wants to avoid anyway. If they win the Battle of River Bay, they need the power of the Octopus family to stabilize the situation in the River Bay area, so for them, Helden is indispensable, but they failed. The Octopus family is of no use to them and has become a burden. If Messiah, you seize the title of the Octopus family in the name of the capital, Not only will William and Henry of the royal capital not object, on the contrary, they will probably give a formal official statement, because this means that you will be temporarily unable to withdraw from the Octopus family, so they will have a respite. time.”
Du Lei had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and he had a very clear context in his mind, he analyzed and said.
“Isn’t it enough to take the title of the Octopus Family? Why suppress it?” Messiah asked puzzledly.
“Because they are not willing to obey honestly, what the Octopus family has done over the years is very bad. I think you know the Messiah. They have offended too many people, and too many people are waiting. Unfortunately for them, the Octopus family has been defeated in the Battle of River Bay City, which has caused them to suffer a lot of losses. In the past, the family that bowed their heads to the ear of the Octopus family also began to separate from the Octopus family, so Haier Deng knew very well that at this time, if Riverwan City was allowed to take the title of his title honestly, all his enemies would find him, and his end would be miserable.” Du Lei could completely foresee that Helden would suffer. treatment.
When he saw Helden in River Bend not long ago, he was the object of countless aristocrats and a guest of honor.
However, it has been less than a month before and after, but such a change has already occurred.
“So Helden will definitely resist the seizure of the title? Shall we suppress him again?” Messiah gradually understood what Du Lei meant.
“Yes, the octopus family has existed for more than a hundred years. During this period, they were exquisite and long-sleeved dancing. Although they did a lot of evil, no one could do anything about them. But with the death of Dohama, the family lost a helm. , And the Octopus family will definitely be destroyed in Helden’s hands.” Du Lei said softly.
“By the way, Du Lei, Dohama…Did you send someone to assassinate?” Messiah suddenly thought of this question.
She hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask.
“Then do you think I killed Dohama?” Du Lei asked her back.
“This…I don’t know. The death of Dohama is very beneficial to me. As far as the motivation is concerned, it should be that people who have a good impression of our River Bay City will do this kind of thing, right?” Messiah said. Not so sure.
“It is true that I sent someone to assassinate Dohama.” Du Lei nodded and readily admitted this.
“Hey, it really is Du Lei you…” Messiah was taken aback.
“In fact, it’s not just for River Bend. Dohama has been controlling the pirate gang before and attacking merchant ships, including ships in the Snow Country. This has caused great losses to the Snow Country. I also When I was the inspector-general, many of the documents in the office were about the Octopus family, so this time I came to Numa no country and solved the big pirate boss by the way, so as to ensure the communication of Snow Nation. The safety of the merchant ship, and Dohama’s hands are stained with blood, he deserves it.” Du Lei said calmly.
“It turned out to be so, but no matter what, Du Lei, you have been a great help. By the way, Du Lei, didn’t you mean to find someone who can interpret ancient characters in seclusion? What about that slate, interpret Has the result come out?” Messiah asked gratefully.
Because Du Lei had been away for a week before, he just went to find a way to interpret the slate.
The slab was given to him by Lance, and now there is no clue where Lance has gone, and she doesn’t know where Lance is.
“It is still in the process of interpretation. I am afraid that there will be no results in a short period of time. I have placed the slate in a safe place. The text on the top has been rubbed and let an authoritative doctor study it. However, the doctor said, There must be more than one slate, and all the slabs need to be put together to know what is on the top. I don’t know where Lance found this slate. It would be great if he could find Lance.” Du Lei I have also inquired about Lance during this period of time, but I still haven’t found a result.
Lance seemed to have evaporated from the world, which gave Du Lei a bad feeling.
Anyway, Lance is his friend, and he doesn’t want anything to happen to Lance.
“Lance was walking in a hurry at the time, and I don’t know where he went…” Messiah wanted to do something for Du Lei, but he felt helpless.
“The guy in Lance has always been very smart and capable. There shouldn’t be anything to do, but the most urgent thing is to solve the old port first, first disintegrate the Octopus family, and then solve the problems in the city of Ze.” Although Du Lei is about Lan. Si and Shiban are very concerned about things.
But he still knows the priorities, and now the affairs of Numa no Country have not been settled yet.
“Then you leave everything to Du Lei to arrange. I have already given the order. All the troops in the river bay area will be handed over to Du Lei to mobilize.” Messiah nodded, except for her dead father. The man in front of her was the only one she could trust without reservation.
The moonlight poured silently, and the sea was golden. For Hewan City, it was a peaceful night.
But for Old Port, this night is destined to be unstable.
Helden met with a representative from River Bend. He was wondering how the opponent would come to see him. Was it to humiliate him after winning the battle.
But when he saw the representative, he found that the other party was not even from Riverside City at all.
This is an assassin.
The other party tried to assassinate Helden, but fortunately he had been prepared. After the stand-in blocked the fatal blow for him, Helden fled through the basement embarrassedly.
“Damn it, where did that guy emerge from and dare to assassinate me? This is really unforgivable. Has he been caught?” After Helden fled to a safe place, he loudly questioned his subordinates. .
Since he took over as the head of the Octopus family, good things have not happened, but bad things have happened one after another.
