The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 918
Chapter 918
For Thunder Country, it should have been a beautiful rout, but with the emergence of the three-nation coalition forces, the situation has changed.
Under the front of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, Lei Ming, as the commander of the Army of the Kingdom of Thunder, had to choose a compromise.
After all, this is the elite of the Kingdom of Thunder. If all were buried in the land of the Kingdom of Flame, it would be a huge blow to the Kingdom of Thunder.
Moreover, the Crown Prince Hilbert of the Kingdom of Thunder is still next to him. If something happens to Hilbert, it will be a disaster for the Kingdom of Thunder!
So when he is facing war and peace talks, he can only choose the latter, which is the best choice for Thunder Country at present.
This time the peace talks were attended by representatives of the five countries, namely, the two sides of the Yanzhi Nation and the Thunder Nation, as well as the representatives of the participating three-nation coalition forces.
Of course, the representatives of the Snow Country, the Marsh Country, and the Rain Country are all foils, and Du Lei can perfectly represent the three of them.
In a narrow conference room, a map is placed in front of all the delegates. This will be the place that will determine the future of the two countries.
“Then set out the conditions. Our Thunder Country is currently the defeated party. Whether you want war reparations or land, you can propose it, and we can negotiate and resolve it together.” The spokesperson of the Thunder Country is the diplomat Pike.
This is a middle-aged man in a delicate evening gown with a small beard.
Thunder and Hilbert are beside him. In fact, it is Hilbert who has the right to speak, but the latter is silent.
If Lei Zhiguo is the victorious country, then he will definitely stand up to preside over the situation and stand up to share the cake.
However, the Kingdom of Thunder is a defeated country, and the defeated country needs compensation, and compensation will attract domestic opposition.
If Hilbert came forward again, he would have to be the subject of verbal criticism.
At this time, someone needs to come out and take the blame, and poor Parker is the one to take the blame.
“This…” As the representative of Yanzhi Nation, Chief of Staff Gilbert was originally not good at diplomatic occasions.
He was pushed to this position, in fact, it was a make up.
At this time, he couldn’t be the master either, so he could only look at the young man sitting next to him with some embarrassment.
Not long ago, this young man was arrested by him as a suspect in the assassination of Gray Yan.
However, now, he has become a guest of Yanzhi Nation, such a change has to make Gilbert feel ashamed.
“We don’t need indemnities, nor land. All we need is the truth.” Du Lei said calmly.
Had it not been for the emergence of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Flame would have already defeated the army of the Kingdom of Thunder.
He played a vital role in the emergence of the Three-Power Allied Forces.
Not to mention his relationship with the Snow Country, without him, the Snow Country might still be in the midst of an endless civil war.
He also has an unexplainable relationship with the newly enthroned queen of Numa no Kuni.
Someone who has something to say that Du Lei was a classmate with the Messiah as early as a student.
There is even a gossip tabloid that opened a column to serialize “Maple Leaf Love” written by a certain novelist.
It is about the emotional entanglement of a young man in that college with a few women who will grow into important figures on the mainland in the future.
This allowed this little-known tabloid newspaper to increase its sales substantially and became one of the most popular newspapers.
Although all the characters in the novel use pseudonyms, people can still match their names with the characters in reality.
In the eyes of the people, Du Lei and Messiah’s affair was almost a real deal.
As for the country of rain, Jester, the northern duke of the country of rain, tried to go south to fight for the throne. In the stormy city incident, Du Lei’s name also appeared in the newspaper, which caused people to speculate whether this upstart was the same as the rain. The country reached some kind of agreement.
If it was said that this kind of speculation at the beginning was just a guesswork and there was no real evidence, then the dispatch of troops from the Kingdom of Rain this time is very telling.
“The truth? I don’t know what Mr. Du Lei’s truth is…” Parker knew that this young man was the central figure.
The way this peace talks will end depends on the young man’s wishes.
“The truth about the assassination of Crown Prince Ferdinand in your country, and the truth about why your country suddenly invaded the country of flames.” Du Lei said calmly.
“Hey, are you making a mistake? What is the truth about Ferdinand’s assassination? Isn’t that fellow Ferdinand abducted our lovely sister, and your country of flames refused to fight, we went to the country of flames? Are you here to ask people to understand?”
Hilbert, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly scolded.
“You mean that Ferdinand abducted your country’s princess and didn’t die in your country. Does that mean?” Du Lei frowned and asked.
“Isn’t that guy Ferdinand alive and well, or how to abduct my lovely sister? It’s weird for you to find this reason.”
Hilbert only regarded it as an excuse from the people of the Flame Nation, he said with a cold snort.
“His Royal Highness Hilbert, I hope you can respect the deceased. His Royal Highness Ferdinand was indeed assassinated in your country, and the body has been buried!”
Gilbert said firmly, although he did not occupy a dominant position in this peace talk.
But he was still very angry at Hilbert’s words, and immediately stood up and retorted.
“What? That guy Ferdinand is dead? No, I saw him a month ago and he was good. What about Cahill? Where is she now?”
Hilbert stood up and asked immediately after being taken aback.
“Isn’t His Royal Highness Cahill supposed to be in your country?” Gilbert said coldly.
“Since the guy Ferdinand abducted Cahill a month ago, she has not been in the country. We have sent people to the country of flames many times to negotiate, hoping to send someone to escort Cahill back, but there has been no follow-up. , And your army of the Kingdom of Flame attacked our borders of the Kingdom of Thunder for no reason, causing a conflict. For this reason, we had to fight back, and sent troops into the territory of the Kingdom of Flame, in order to counterattack and retrieve it. Cahill!”
Hilbert said loudly and powerfully.
“Negotiating? We have never seen anyone negotiating!” Gilbert also denied this.
“As for us actively attacking the army of the Kingdom of Thunder, this is even more nonsense. It was the army of the Kingdom of Thunder that attacked us first and provoked the war!”
After a pause, Gilbert continued.
“You people in the country of flames really have a set of methods to reverse the facts. They have reached this point, and they are still hiding them everywhere.”
Hilbert sneered, obviously he didn’t believe what Gilbert said.
“The two of you don’t quarrel for now, Master Du Lei, look at this…”
The representative of the Nation of Marsh asked Du Lei for his opinion. When Du Lei was still in the Nation of Marsh, he had met Du Lei.
Coupled with the representatives of the country of rain and the country of snow, the representatives of the three countries are only the leader of Durley’s horse.
“I think the problem lies here.” Du Lei said calmly.
“Question? What question?” Parker asked.
“The problem is that the Kingdom of Thunder accused the Kingdom of Flames of abducting the prince’s daughter and provoked the Kingdom of Thunder to launch an attack, while the Kingdom of Flame accused the Kingdom of Thunder of assassinating the crown prince and also actively launched an attack. Is this the case?” Du Lei said.
“This is not an accusation, this is an ironclad fact before us! Although we lose, we will never endure inexplicable accusations and humiliation that does not belong to us!” Hilbert said righteously.
“Master Gilbert, did you see the burial of Crown Prince Ferdinand of your country with your own eyes?” Du Lei frowned and asked.
“This… I am not a member of the royal family, and the place where the Wang family cemetery is located is very hidden. I don’t know where it is.”
Gilbert thought for a while, shook his head and said.
“Then your party believes that Prince Ferdinand has not been killed, and the other insists that Crown Prince Ferdinand was assassinated and buried. Lord Gilbert, who came out of the news of the burial.” Du Lei asked again.
“It was from General Gray Yan, but General Gray Yan…” Gilbert did not continue.
Because Hui Yan had been assassinated and died.
“If I want to figure out the truth of the matter, there is one thing that must be verified.”
“What’s the matter?” Gilbert asked, looking at the young man.
“We have to figure out whether Crown Prince Ferdinand is really dead.” Du Lei found that the crux of the problem lies with Ferdinand.
“But…what should I do with this kind of thing?” Gilbert was a little nervous.
“Of course it is to find the cemetery of the royal family and see the remains of Crown Prince Ferdinand with his own eyes.” Du Lei said affirmatively.
“What? Enter the royal cemetery? Only members of the royal family can enter. Ordinary people will be cursed if they enter rashly! And no one knows where it is located.” Gilbert said in a panic.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.” Gilbert looked at the door.
It was a secretarial officer who came in soon, and she whispered in Gilbert’s ear, which made Gilbert frowned.
“What did you say?” Gilbert’s reaction was great.
“Master Gilbert, is there anything special? Does our peace talk need to be suspended?” Du Lei asked in surprise.
“Mr. Du Lei, this…I’m afraid you have to meet someone anyway.” Gilbert said cautiously.
“I don’t know who it is?” Du Lei asked curiously seeing Gilbert’s expression.
“Please wait a moment here, Mr. Du Lei, come with me.” Gilbert got up and motioned Du Lei to follow him.
Although Du Lei was a little puzzled, looking at Gilbert’s expression, there must be some remarkable and important person here.
After leaving the conference room with Gilbert, he went to the reception room of another building nearby.
At the door of the building he saw a guard in a red uniform.
These guards were embroidered with flames on their chests, and Du Lei recognized it as the mark of the Chiyan Guards at a glance.
The Chiyan Guard is the king’s guard of the Kingdom of Flame.
This guard is here, I’m afraid…
“Your Majesty, Mr. Du Lei is here.” After entering the room, Gilbert bowed and said.
The room is not spacious, after all, Searing Fortress is a military fortress, and all functions are for defense.
An old man in the room was reading a book, and he turned around when he saw Gilbert and Duray come in.
He looks more than fifty years old, the lava is a bit old, and he is wearing a luxurious red robe.
His expression looked sad.
“I see, Gilbert, you go down first, and you go down too.”
After the old man waved his hand, a woman in the corner of the room also walked out.
This woman is in her thirties, wearing a long sword, and her purple hair is very eye-catching.
The most important thing is that Du Lei realized that this woman was a magician.
And the level is not low, with the level of the eight-star king.
For a country like Lei Zhiguo, the strength has reached a handful of Wang’s ranks.
And there is only one woman who reaches the eight-star king rank.
That was the last commander of Searing Fortress, General Ziyan.
“Are you… Your Majesty Wellington of the Land of Flames?” Although Du Lei hadn’t seen the old man, he recognized his identity.
“Now standing in front of you, Mr. Du Lei, is nothing more than a bad old man who has lost his beloved son.” Wellington waved his hand and said with a sad smile.
“I feel very sorry about the matter of Crown Prince Ferdinand, but there is a question, that is, Crown Prince Ferdinand’s burial, did you personally presided over the burial of Crown Prince Ferdinand?” Du Lei knew that for the elderly, the bereavement of old children is extremely difficult. Sad thing.
But for him at this stage, there is an urgent need to clarify the truth of the matter.
“This was not hosted by me. In fact, I didn’t see Ferdinand the last time.” The old man shook his head.
“Why?” Du Lei frowned.
“Because I was sick in bed and couldn’t move, so the funeral was presided over by my brother Wilfa throughout the whole process.” The old man explained.
“Prince Wilfa?” Du Lei nodded slightly. He still knew a little bit about the situation in the Kingdom of Flame.
“Yes, Wilfa, he transported Ferdinand to the Wang’s cemetery for burial. I came here after I got better. I wanted to see him, but I didn’t expect to encounter Thunder here. If it weren’t for Mr. Du Lei’s attack, if you called in the army of the Three Kingdoms in time, I’m afraid that not only would the hot fortress fall, but even my bad old man would fall into the hands of the Thunder Country.” The old man said helplessly.
“It turns out that the timing of Thunder Country’s attack is really clever enough, so the entrance to the king’s graveyard is near the Searing Gorge, right?”
“Yes, it is true. This time I came to Searing Fortress, but I actually wanted to see Ferdinand.” The old man nodded.
“Then Your Majesty, I have a ruthless please.”
“Mr. Du Lei just say it.”
“I don’t know if I can be allowed to enter the Wang Family Cemetery with you?” Du Lei made his request.
Because he discovered that the fuse of the conflict between the Land of Thunder and the Land of Flame was Ferdinand.
Although Ferdinand has been sent to the cemetery, there are still many suspicious things in it!
