Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 205: Error boot

"At that time, my uncle was still the honorary viscount of Gonghai City. This title was given to Kongming Palace, just as Duke Xinghu was given to Fuxing Palace. His status was very important and he was very prominent for a while."

Amid the cheers, Jen sat in the stands, applauding and nodding to a smug vassal in the stand next door, saying that the warrior sponsored by the latter had just won.

"Like the Duke of Xinghu?"

Tales also applauded the winning contestant. He smiled and opened his mouth. Outsiders looked like he was chatting with the Duke of South Bank: "So special?"

Xilei glanced at him, as if he was not humble enough.

"My father once relied on his uncle as his right arm and let him take charge of government affairs. One can imagine the trust Sona has received, as well as his position in the family, his power and energy," Jenn said in the cheers. The words paused, "and his weight in the hearts of the Emerald City and even the people of the South Bank."

And his weight in his father's heart.

Jane said silently.

"Let's welcome Bischoff's opponent in this round: God-Blessed Warriors from the Clay Clay! The Warriors Do More! It's Time to Bet!"

Another contest began. A strong female warrior named Dosalan was rarely seen stepping onto the field, and the audience shouted loudly.

With that being said, Sona was once trusted, and even in power, Thales mused, until he was interrupted by the sound of drums at the start of the battle.

After a series of fights, the players who stayed in the selection team gradually became stronger and stronger, and the blood and intensity also skyrocketed, but Thales was already tired of forcing himself to pretend to be interested. Or endure some **** and cruel scenes that always inspire cheers, or worry about the future and fate of the Emerald City outside of the two.

In contrast, as the focus of the audience, Jen has always maintained a decent sitting posture and a friendly smile. He applauded from time to time and even called people to make bets. According to the battle process and the outcome of the victory, he timely expressed anticipation, excitement, and pleasure. , regret, surprise and other emotions, but also interact with vassals and guests from different stands. Once the host mentions, "Look, this stab at the back is shocking! Even Duke Zhan praises it again and again!" Responding to the audience, every move showed the Duke of South Bank's attention and enthusiasm for the election, which made many audience members who had come for the fierce fight more relaxed and more unscrupulously immersed in their own hobbies.

With such cultivation, Thales can only sigh to himself.

"I remember that Uncle Sona was very strict with outsiders, and many people were afraid of him," Xilai said suddenly, with a lot of emotion in his words, "but he never hurt me, on the contrary, uncle treated me very well, As his own, he is sometimes even better than his father, perhaps because he has no daughters of his own."

Tales looked sideways subconsciously, while Jen frowned.

“When I got into trouble and offended Sister Karabyan for misbehavior,” Xilai immersed in his memories, “it was my uncle who came back to stand up for me, confronted Mrs. Karabyan, and for that reason. Father had a big fight."

"But he has neither prevented you from being sent to the temple for education nor persuaded your father not to marry you to the Pintors," Jenn glanced at his sister, "just posturing."

"Of course, that's... passed." Xilai noticed his brother's eyes and smiled intriguingly.

Tales has a panoramic view of the interaction between the two.

"He is also very supportive to me. When I was studying in Donglu, I often corresponded with him, relying on his personal connections," Zhan En coughed and his voice was serious, "So, when I was a father ten years ago, it was already the first time. Eleven years later, when I was unfortunately killed, and the suspect was my uncle, the entire South Bank Territory and even the Star Kingdom were shocked."

Jane and Xilai were both silent for a while.

"Look! It's breathtaking!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In the arena, the female warriors were like a rainbow, killing the clumsy black armored enemy in a hurry. Victory was in sight, and the voices in the stands became more and more frenzied and more rhythmic.

"If Viscount Sona and your father are so close and trustworthy, they are almost the Duke's deputy, then why would he..." Thales asked tentatively.

Jane snorted lightly.

"If I told you, according to the official uniform, that your uncle was a coveted duke, you probably wouldn't believe it?"

"Not necessarily," Thales weighed his words, "but over the years, I know that everyone is complicated."

"It's political disagreement." Xilai sighed.

Tales' eyes moved.

The Duke nodded with complicated eyes: "Even if it is a brother who shares the same bloodline and embroidered with the same family crest, when the vassals standing behind them are different, everything will be different, and feelings will give way to Rational, blood ties can't beat interests."

Listening to their words, Thales was slightly distracted, remembering the words of Falkenhouse and King Kessel:

You must know that when your vassals and subordinates are in a state of indignation and public opinion, standing in front of the tide, you don't have much choice but to go with the flow.

In case you act too well, keep it hidden, be convinced by everyone, and successfully incarnate as a vassal, savior, vassal, hope... Those who are deceived by you and support you, they will form a rolling wave, using their reputation and position , camp, interests, relationship, situation, use everything to coerce you forward, not allow you to argue, not be under your control, and not allow you to regret that they will love you more than hate me.

"I was very young back then, and I didn't like seeing outsiders with a bad temper. I didn't pay attention to these things, and I couldn't remember some details clearly," the eldest lady shook her head, her expression tense. "But father and Uncle Sona, they never Take the outside affairs home, and never blushed or quarreled at the dinner table or in front of family members.”

"That's the problem." Jenn interrupted coldly.

Tales and Xilai looked at the duke at the same time, but the latter looked differently:

"My mother once said: Compared with family members, only guests never quarrel at the table."

Hearing this, Xilai frowned.

"From this point of view, there is no doubt that His Majesty and I are real father and son."

Jann and Shirai turned to the prince in unison.

"Never mind, just casually said," Thales coughed, "so?"

"So things happened later," Zhan En accelerated his speech, as if he didn't want to say more, "Although I couldn't avoid the disaster, my father had expected it before he was killed, so he planned for a rainy day: in the event of an accident, Jade Sona and his henchmen were arrested by the Legion, and by the time I had traveled thousands of miles back to the Emerald City, the eucalyptus was almost clear."

"Finally, Uncle Sona confessed to the crime and committed suicide in prison, while his henchmen fell apart and fell to the law."

Xilei's expression was tense, staring intently at the duel in the arena.

"So soon?" Thales rolled his eyes, "Even before you return to the Emerald City?"

"To be precise, before the central royal family sent the envoy to the Emerald City," Jenn said calmly, "I think some things don't need to be said too clearly."

Tales froze.

He suddenly remembered the words left by the one-eyed Gust, the Duke of Clifflands long ago, before he left for Exeter:

He even wanted to intervene in the inheritance of the six giants and the thirteen prestigious families... Just two years ago, Kevin Deere's family infighting had his shadow.

“What’s more, the Emerald City has a complete system and its own laws,” Zhan Endan said. “It involves the family affairs of the irises. In order to avoid suspicion and to reassure people, Sona murdered his brother and conspired, and was handed over to the city office to handle Jeff. Rene was the canal district police chief at the time, known for his impartiality and seldom omissions, while Slimani was his right-hand man, and they were one of the people involved in this case back then.”

Tales and Xilai looked at each other: "Ah, so this is the reason."

Jane continued:

"And the officer Caquere, who was killed this morning, was one of the prison guards when my uncle went to prison eleven years ago. I guess the enemy has a list of revenge, and they cross out names one by one. "

"What about the others? The wine merchant? And the wool merchant?" Xilai asked.

Zhan En shook his head: "Before the fall, Uncle Sona was a high-ranking man. He was in charge of the intelligence merchants and secret accounts of the Emerald City and even the South Bank, and even the monitoring of civil society such as the Blood Bottle Gang."

Xilei's face changed:

"Dagorimos, and Diop?"

"They all served Sona," Jenn nodded. "Even though they were small people back then, my uncle might not remember them."

"Wait, they were all your uncle's subordinates, but you still use them with confidence until now?" Thales couldn't believe it.

"Uncle Sona's connections and connections in the South Bank Territory are so intertwined that even Ashford has done things for him at his father's behest. If I were to tell everyone who had ever bowed to Sona Clean it up, and the entire Emerald City will be useless."

Speaking of this, Jenn leaned forward and applauded warmly for an attack by a competitor in the field, forcing Thales to lean forward as well, pretending to be excited to watch the game, and trying his best to cheer Hear Jenn's words clearly:

"What's more, in the hands of those who served my uncle back then, Moss and Diop were new recruits who had just been recruited, and they were already less involved, so they could be promoted after the rebellion. have today's status."

Tales reacted and took over:

"So, they are the beneficiaries of the promotion after Sona's fall?"

"Or the renegades," Xilai affirmed, "maybe this puts them on the revenge list."

Tales narrowed his eyes.

Then Wyya's conjecture is correct: Rene, Slimani, Kaquere, including little Porwyn, who was implicated by his father, are indeed Sona's betrayal who was targeted for the same thing The old party's comeback, want revenge for the master?

"But it's much more than that."

Jane looked grim as he watched a contestant get knocked down:

"Moss, the wine merchant, is one of our intelligence merchants stationed abroad. It's okay if he dies, but if the news of his death in a rebellion and revenge spreads, all of his colleagues will be at risk from Diop's management. He acts as a middleman for the secret accounts and the dirty work that the powerful and powerful people in the city hand over to the Blood Bottle Gang and other associations.

Tales' eyes moved.

Jane said more and more solemnly:

"As for Rene and Slimani, they both worked in the police department. The latter is a defense attorney who has pleaded against countless major cases. He has a wider network and is involved in many parties. Their strange killing will make more people. Caquere is even more concerned and worried. He is a special security officer sent by Kongming Palace and responsible for the security of the prince. If he exposes his corpse on the street during the Emerald Celebration, the official prestige of the Emerald City will be severely frustrated.”

"In short, these targets are located in different positions in the Emerald City, each performing their own duties and bearing their own weight. The enemy wants to stir people's hearts and cause panic in the name of betraying the party and revenge. Finding them is undoubtedly the most labor-saving way."

The revenge of the betrayal of the party, stirring people's hearts, setting off panic...

Tales was lost in thought, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Don't forget, there is also the Blood Bottle Gang." Xilai frowned.

"That's right," Jen said cautiously, "if they are successful, it will affect the operation of the city at light, and shake the rule of Iris at worst."

"The Emerald Celebration attracts visitors from all over the world, and they happen to spread panic with revenge... You should have told us earlier." Xilai's face was solemn.

"It's up to me to say that," Jan said sternly, "and you, my dear sister, when did you get involved in this shit?"

"When I was born," Xilai retorted, "Dear brother, please guess: what's my last name?"

"Sorry to disturb you," Thales said suddenly, interrupting the siblings' argument, "But, it affects the operation of the city and shakes your rule... It just depends on a few goals, as for it?"

Jane turned around and his eyes turned cold: "What? Why, how many more do you want to die?"

Tales raised his eyebrows: "You know that's not what I meant."

Xilei coughed.

"Well, maybe they won't," Jen glanced at his sister and looked back at Thales, "but what about you?"

Tales was startled when he heard the words:

"Me?"

"Of course, you."

Jann stared at the critical match in the field, his tone gradually tightened:

"Imagine: Sona betrayed the party, lost his revenge, and made a comeback to massacre, from a foreign wine merchant to a wool merchant, from a great defense attorney to a retired vigilante, to an active duty vigilante in the Kongming Palace, and maybe even more There are more... So for a while, the Jade City, which feeds millions of people, is in chaos, ten households and nine are closed, the Jade Celebration, which distributes goods from the seven seas, is stagnant and sluggish, and the losses are tragic. The gangsters on the street are chaotic and reckless, and as for the aloof Duke Iris, he can only sit in a high-ranking position, utterly helpless..."

Xilei frowned: "Brother..."

"Over time," Jen ignored her, but looked at Thales with colder eyes, "the panicked city gradually lost patience and resentment: Kevin Dill's family's legacy back then, why? Should they bear the burden? The tormented internal and external vassals will also be uneasy and grow tired: the family feud created by the three-color irises, why bother to drag down the entire Emerald City?"

Tales listened to his words and looked around: the audience in the major stands were all attentively, at least they seemed to be attentively watching the competition in the arena, including noble vassals, giant businessmen, and distinguished guests. , and many local citizens, they all waved their arms frantically, shouted and cheered, and were immersed in the atmosphere of the election. Even the people below were surrounded by them, as if they were discussing the outcome of the game fiercely...

Except the three of them.

"And at this time, our wise and wise Lord Xinghu Duke will make another decisive move," Zhan continued, "In the name of the poor governance of the Kevin Dill family, he justly took over the authority, and then administered and benefited, Is it not the right time to reward merit and punish crimes, and finally return the Emerald City to a peaceful and prosperous world?"

Tales frowned.

The next second, in the arena, the female warrior who had the advantage was about to win, but an unexpected turn came: the opponent slipped and fell to the ground with heavy armor, firmly pressing the female warrior's thigh , the latter was unexpected and unable to respond in time, and fell to the ground in pain.

The tide of victory and defeat was instantly reversed, and the audience let out sighs of disappointment and boos of dissatisfaction.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Jenn burst out laughing and stood up to applaud.

"Good bet, Palacio, this Bischoff is indeed lucky," the duke waved loudly to a vassal in the next stand, "If I had known this, I should have placed this big bet with you! "

"This bet is won for you, Your Excellency Duke, for your strong support for the development of the Emerald City's ocean fishing for many years! And of course, His Royal Highness Thales, your presence will make the election even more glorious!" That A vassal stood up in the stands, took off his hat and bowed.

Tales had to stand up with Jenn and nodded in response.

But His Royal Highness immediately showed a bitter expression: On that stand, Kai'Sa and China were standing in a prominent position next to Count Lasia.

They smiled at Thales, one left and one right, and opened two folding fans specially selected for the selection:

The book on the left reads: "I am happy to see the hunter, and the winning ticket is in hand."

Tales felt dizzy for a while.

Until Xilai also stood up and showed a flowery smile beside Thales, the Karabyan sisters changed their expressions, their eyes suddenly turned cold, they both sat down, hid their faces behind the folding fan, and discussed something.

"Laugh, laugh again, laugh bigger, that's fine, then pretend to have a heated discussion and discuss it with me, not with Xilai," Jenn smiled unabated, and whispered to guide Thales' PR response, "Then you Have you considered the price?"

"What? Oh me, um, I don't bet..."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Jenn sat down again, but his voice suddenly turned cold, "it was our unfinished conversation at the Battle for the Frontier Banquet."

Tilston was startled.

"At the last minute, what price do you want to be willing to lend a hand to stop your father, rather than stand idly by and even fall into the trap?"

"What price?" Xi Lai turned her head curiously.

But Thales and Jenn ignored her, and they exchanged a look.

A few seconds later, when the host started to announce the next match, Thales sighed:

"It's not the price, and I don't think..."

But Jenn turned his head away, interrupting him.

"Moss, Diop, Slimani, Rene, Cacquere...including the crucial little Porwyn," the duke resumed his usual serenity, "they took every murder as bait, In addition to disturbing people's hearts, I just want to attract your attention. With the help of your old grudges and mine, I will teach you to pursue it to the end, so as to intervene, rewrite your old affairs in Exeter and Xihuang, and smash Jade in one fell swoop. The sky of the city is just like what you did in Xihuang."

The Duke Spring Breeze clapped for the next duel:

"So, what price did Xihuang people give you in exchange for your help?"

Damn.

The last sentence made Thales' eyes move, and Xilai's expression changed slightly.

"The matter of Xihuang is a long story and more complicated," Thales was silent for a while, "As for the Emerald City, since I'm sitting here, the kind of thing you said... it won't happen."

"It didn't happen for the time being, but it wasn't because you were sitting here," Jenn said with a smile, but the temperature was limited, "but because I had foresight, I cut it off every time before you took the bait and bit the bait. fishing line."

I don't know if a certain captain's sarcasm made him more sensitive, but Thales always felt that Jen was scolding him secretly when he heard these words.

"Otherwise, from before the celebration to the present, if you reveal so many people who died on the streets, then the news of the traitorous party's revenge on the Emerald City would have already spread, shaking the whole city." Zhan En said sternly.

"Boys..." Xilai sensed something bad.

"Ha, cut off the fishing line," Thales took a long breath, "You mean to cover up the news, falsify the truth, and cover up the sky and cross the sea?"

"Yes," Jenn's voice froze, "I'm not proud of it, but I did what I could and must do for the Emerald City."

"Interesting, that defense, Slimani said the same thing: he did what he could and had to do," Thales stared intently at the two contestants walking into the arena. " Until the aftermath of those things inevitably caught up with him."

"Then did he tell you the consequences of not doing those things, when will he catch up with him?"

"Enough!"

Hilai interrupts them.

"I'm here to solve the problem, not to see you bickering."

The eldest lady gave both of them a sideways glance until they turned their heads in embarrassment.

Xilei looked at the two of them, sighed helplessly, and turned to her brother:

"So, Jenn, what are you going to do next? How are you going to deal with it?"

Jane smiled slightly.

"Look around," the Duke raised his hand gracefully, signaling Ashford below to continue his bet, "this is my response."

"What do you mean?"

"The election will be the most popular focus of public attention at the Emerald Celebration," Jenn looked relaxed, "and at this moment, the entire arena is loose and tight, and a net has been laid."

Tales and Xilai were both startled.

"Jane?" Thales looked around, looking at the "green hat" emerald sergeant on the post, and the calm Seychelles knight below, suddenly feeling uncomfortable, "You, you want what to do?"

Xilai also looked suspicious:

"Brother?"

Jane raised his eyebrows in a stern manner:

"Do you know that this year's election will be surprisingly lively, and many people who come to the election have problems: some are secretive, some are hiding their heads, some are flinching, some are unknown, and there are even many impostors. ."

Tales' eyes changed, and Xilai looked at the two contestants in disbelief, as well as the tents where the other contestants were resting.

"But the election is still held, and you still let them in... Did you mean it?"

Jane smiled again, he pointed to the soldiers fighting under the stage:

"I dare to say that at this moment, just among the following group of passionate players, there are people who are hiding their tricks and waiting to act."

"What action?" Thales couldn't help but get nervous, "What are you going to do?"

"As you said, Thales, the incident of the Blood Bottle Gang yesterday was the last straw. They can't wait," Zhan said. "The enemy of the Emerald City is coming."

He glanced at Thales, and his words had deep meaning:

"And here, the election will be their long-awaited stage, or the cemetery."

The fierce battle in the arena once again came to a critical moment. A barren mountain warrior was at odds, but in a few minutes, his opponent saw blood. With the unanimous cheer of the audience, he fought more and more bravely.

"What?" Thales couldn't believe it.

"So here, this election will be your trap?"

Xilei also didn't understand, and couldn't help but ask: "Why, Jen? Why here, why today? What do you know?"

"That's right, how can you be sure that they will act in the election?" Thales asked.

Jane snorted softly:

"Because this is their only and best chance."

Xilei frowned:

"Jane, explain."

Jaen listened patiently as the host began to introduce the top eight winners, clapping and waving very cooperatively.

"Simply put, from the Battle of the Frontiers to the present, from the inexplicable attack on the Blood Bottle Gang, to the killing of key people one after another," Zhan's eyes were sharp and his words were murderous, "I'm tired of waiting and being passively beaten. , even more tired of the enemy's darkness and our own."

“So, in addition to ordering the Blood Bottle Gang to finish the process and avoid the fate of the case, I also sent a special person to secretly investigate these murder cases, including the background of each deceased, in order to find out the details of Jr. Pohl and the other deceased. contact."

He paused, paused, and snorted at Thales:

"You don't have to do anything with the above, just sit here and spread your hands, and you can listen to the information and answers for free."

Tales frowned unhappily.

Xilei coughed, forcing Jen to continue:

"And every action of the enemy, every murder, brought Kathleen's investigation closer and closer to them until..."

"Wait, who?"

Tales was startled when he heard the words, and Xilai's eyes moved.

Jane looked at them with an intriguing smile.

"Ah, I understand, it's Kathleen Illusion Blade!" Xilai thought about the joints and suddenly realized, "She was originally the boss of the royal capital, but she secretly sneaked back to the Emerald City. She was specially recalled by you. Come, those who are ordered to investigate these murders!"

Tales also responded: "You?"

"She's not an official person, it's easier to do things."

Jane sneered and nodded:

"Although she was reluctant."

So it doesn't hurt to sacrifice? Thales couldn't help thinking.

"Damn, she didn't tell us before that she took your mission..." Xilai said angrily.

"More than that," Thales couldn't help but said, "She even said that you were going to kill the donkey and plan to get rid of her?"

"I guess, because she wants to protect herself," Jenn stared at Thales, confident, "She fell into your hands, and she knew that you were not part of the Emerald City, so she deliberately hinted to you: I am hers Enemy. This way, whether you feel pity and pity her, or you think it's profitable to turn against her, Kathleen has a chance to live."

"Grass," Thales felt his head hurt, "so many twists and turns?"

At the same time, he couldn't help noticing that at the moment when the host introduced the top eight players one by one and warmed up for the team battle, under the stands, more and more members of the guards gathered around Wyya and Miranda. , Glover, Conmutto...

But their expressions grew stiffer.

Tales wanted to ask them, but found that no matter how much he waved his hand, no one from the Star Lake Guards looked up even once.

As if deliberately avoiding the prince's gaze.

They...wouldn't be making bets, would they?

"Thousands of hidden treasures, this is the knife **** of the Emerald City, and the reason why she can secure her seat." Zhan seemed to be emotional.

"So, we've all been tricked by her, **** who don't tell the truth," Xilai said bitterly, "I should have thrown her to... ahem, that killer."

"And then what? What else did Kathleen find?"

"Nothing," Jenn shook his head in denial, but smiled mysteriously, "or rather, before she really touched the key and found something..."

"The blood bottle gang has changed," Xilai added with a frown, "I guess the reason why the news of Cacquere's murder in the street this morning spread a lot because the blood bottle gang was in chaos. You can't move anymore?"

Jann nodded and the smile disappeared:

"Catherine is missing, and at least half of the bosses and leaders of the Blood Bottle Gang have not heard from..."

"I told you." Thales shook his head.

"...The remaining half started to scramble for the land and share the cake. The noisy, the lower gang members, including the industries covered by them, were all panicking and self-inflicted. They were suspicious of each other, and wanted to find someone to talk to. It's hard for anyone who counts, let alone the job." Jen said calmly.

"So, the turmoil of the Blood Bottle Gang is not accidental," Xilai said solemnly, "but our enemy found out: you are not only using the Blood Bottle Gang to cover up the news and prevent them from spreading panic, but also dispatched Kai Sarlene after them?"

"So they couldn't hold back and started," Thales nodded: "Set a trap to surround the Illusion Blade and paralyze the Blood Bottle Gang by the way?"

"Murky the lake," Xilai frowned, "ruining your eyes and ears."

Jann took a deep breath.

"This is only temporary. When this is over, I will take time off..."

Jann's eyes snapped, but he took a deep breath and regained his demeanor.

"But at least let me know one thing: my response was effective: from Moss to Slimani, while I blocked the news with the Blood Bottle Gang, the loss of the Emerald City was also reduced When it reaches the minimum, whether it is trying to create an uproar, or to lead you to attack me, the enemy has failed," Jen looked at the surprised two people, "so they became anxious, couldn't hold back, and had to show up from behind the scenes. , and directly help the blood bottle."

Tales took over the conversation: "So the blood bottle gang failed, and you can no longer cover up the news of Kaquere's murder. You can only watch this death cause a sensation in the city?"

Jann sneered.

"Change the angle, Thales, change the angle," the Duke of South Bank's eyes brightened, "Our enemies, whether they are Sona's old party or the employees of the Secret Service, they have done so many things and killed them. So many people, under my interference, silently and silently, failed to spread the news..."

“Seeing that the Emerald Celebration passed by day by day, and the prince’s investigation came to an end without a hitch, so they finally made up their minds and made a desperate attempt to let Lausanne go to the stage and get rid of the Blood Bottle Gang…”

"So..." Thales understood something, his eyes changed slightly.

Clap!

Jane applauds softly:

"First of all, after waiting for so many days and paying a large price, they got what they wanted for the first time this morning: the murder of Cacquere in the street, the whole city knew, and people were panic, so that the Emerald City could not turn a blind eye to this pair. For the enemy, it must be quite encouraging: Duke Iris finally missed, revealing a flaw."

"Could it be..." Xilai's eyes widened.

“Secondly, in addition to the rare success, they also waited for a rare occasion: the much-anticipated and eye-catching Iris election will not be forgotten, whether it is fate or rumors, killing people in the street, cleaning up gangsters After all, they have done so much, just for an opportunity to declare revenge and spread terror to the entire Emerald City and even the kingdom."

Jane looked at Thales:

"Just like Anker Bailar, killing people is the only way to attract people's attention."

Tales clenched his fist: "Don't mention his name again."

Xilei couldn't help but glance at Thales.

Jane smiled, disapprovingly.

"Thirdly, since yesterday, the blood bottle gang, the bottom tool I relied on to suppress them, has gone through great hardships and finally lost its effectiveness and is no longer under my control. At least when it comes to suppressing life, I Being stretched thin, it is no longer possible to cover the sky with one hand and control the overall situation.

"Also, as you said, Kathleen's investigation in the Emerald City has been alarmed. The enemy realized that not only was I already alert, but I was chasing after them, and her escape was the last straw. , so that the enemy has to step up their steps to avoid night long dreams. They don't know what Catherine has found, let alone what I have mastered.

"Finally, since we have successfully made Kaquere a big event all over the city, then theoretically we should work hard to strike while the iron is hot, and create more, bigger and more sensational events and events before people get tired and used to it. My destiny is to deter the hearts of the Emerald City and shake my rule, so as to achieve maximum results and achieve the ultimate goal."

"Jane, you..." Thales thought of something, and he couldn't believe it.

"The situation, the occasion, the conditions, the timing, the actual effect, every factor gives them a reason to continue to do it," Jenn's tone became more brisk, "the five add up to increase their weight."

He turns to Thales:

"And if you didn't lie, and your son-in-law guard, also worked together to kill one of their extreme killers?"

Tales swallowed.

Jane smiled slightly:

"Guess, this time, desperate and desperate, they were lucky to survive..."

He glanced at his sister:

"Will you be ready to move and bite the bait eagerly? For example, the election will be at this moment?"

Bite the bait?

Hooked?

Tales looked at Jenn in front of him and became more and more dignified.

"Fuck you! Jenn!"

Tales looks back:

"Xilei?"

I saw Xilai disregarding the image, raised the middle fingers of both hands, and looked at Duke Iris, but made them both frown:

"Don't you understand, Thales? Kathleen didn't lie to us that day: she was indeed abandoned!"

Jane looked around and coughed: "Sister, pay attention..."

Miss hurriedly asked:

"Why, Jen? Since it was a secret investigation, as the leader of the Blood Bottle Gang, why was Kathleen so easily discovered by Lausanne II, and she walked into the area that was intended to ambush her in order to split the blood The bottle gang's mortal trap?"

Jann did not speak.

"Because this is your masterpiece! Kathleen is an abandoned child, the bait you deliberately sent out in the name of investigation to attract the attention of the enemy and stimulate their actions! I guess it's also you who sent the news out and made them stare Kathleen's? You want to remind them: you're alert." Xilai said unhappily.

Jann remained silent.

"No, it's not just Kathleen, but the entire Blood Bottle Gang, they are all bait," Thales also figured it out, he sighed, "The blood bottle gang had internal strife in the warehouse that day, including The current situation where the loose sand is useless is the result of your deliberate indulgence, and it is part of a higher chess game, because you want to make the enemy think: you have lost the blood bottle gang."

Jann's mouth twitched.

"You!" Xilai said bitterly, and pointed his **** again, "We had the worst luck that day, we were chased and killed by that ghost killer from the Blood Bottle Gang all afternoon... In the end, it was you who caused the trouble. Good thing? It's my fault that you still have the face to accuse me?"

"Since that's the case, that includes the Caquere's fate this morning, the reason why it spread all over the city..." Thales deduced step by step, frowning, "These, these are all traps you laid. , just as bait to lure the enemy?"

In the arena, the host gave an order, and the long-awaited election will finally start the multiplayer team battle.

Facing Xilai's indignant eyes and Thales' wary expression, Jenn smiled.

Clap! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The Duke applauded vigorously. The applause was mixed in the tsunami of the whole arena, but it had a different rhythm, so that Thales would not be confused anyway.

"You guys really don't bet? It's a good way to blend in with the atmosphere and numb the surroundings." Jenn asked as he motioned for Ashford to continue betting.

"Grass you!" Xilai greeted in a friendly manner.

"I...As the heir of the kingdom, I should handle things in a balanced and impartial manner," Thales sighed and moved out his prepared remarks, "Selection of sides, betting and betting is not in line with me. identity position.”

"Oh, it turns out to be because of my position," Jan raised an eyebrow, "I thought it was because of poverty."

Tales only felt that his expression became stiffer.

"But that's the reality, whether it's the Blood Bottle Gang, Kathleen, or poor Kaquere," Jann smiled, his eyes filled with a disturbing light, "Most of the time, it's the chips. More people can win the game."

The one with more chips...

In the arena, hundreds of people fought with great momentum. Some people fought alone, some teamed up to respond to the enemy, some avoided the enemy's edge, and some stood against the wall...

Tales was sitting in the Duke's stand, looking ugly in the face of this scene of countless people killing themselves.

"What about the chips themselves?"

The prince gritted his teeth:

"Besides, won't you get tired of moving your chips like this every day?"

Jann snorted softly.

"Although your name is Duke, Thales," the Duke said sternly, "but you have never ruled a city, a place, or even a village or town?"

"I... rule Starlake Castle."

At least...Xinghu Fort is now full of life and wildness.

"Domination? As Xi said," Jenn said dismissively, "Buy cats to catch mice, and dogs to catch cats?"

"This..." Thales was at a loss for words and looked at Xilai unhappily.

"Don't look at me, someone named Wyya next to you said it." Xilai shrugged unhappily.

Damn, I bought the cat to kill a roof of rats for the mess Ashida left that night, and as for the dog...

He didn't give any orders at all, it's all stupid things done by the people below to figure out their own ideas and make inferences!

"When you get there, Thales, you will understand, and you will understand," Jenn was slightly taken aback, not without emotion, "You must do what you can and must do."

All three were silent.

Well, I'm really not suitable for playing these yin...

Tales sighed in secret.

Maybe I'm not fit to be king...

Then a small voice resounds from the bottom of his heart to become someone who can be a king.

Tales frowned.

Maybe that day, you will win, Thales Shining Star.

And...

Sometimes, people who are not in the game win more than those who have the chips.

Tales frowned.

"How do they bite the bait?"

The prince's words caught the attention of the other two:

"That's right, Jenn, you set a trap, great job! But what are they going to do? With this shocking fate, this city-loving event, what are they going to do to take you down? ..."

"I don't know," Jenn interrupted, "maybe it was after the finals, when I walked down the stands with a spring breeze and went to award the champion of the conference, or maybe he rode around the field and came to me. In front of you, of course, it may also be a fierce fight..."

"My father wants the Emerald City and the South Bank Leader, Jenn, not your head."

"You mean," Jan said coldly, "not just my head?"

"Of course, if you stand between him and the Emerald City, I don't think he'd mind taking your head first, but..."

"They can do whatever they want."

Duke Iris glanced at Thales:

"Perhaps you can do something even more outrageous, create a crisis, and let His Majesty's most precious son get a little scratched, so that you have more reason to meddle in the Emerald City, and Kingdom Fury will What's more reason to march south like a Sabertooth camp?"

Xilei's expression froze.

"But anyway..."

Jane stared at Thales' eyes:

"As long as they come, they can't escape."

Tales looked back at him.

"But I still don't understand a little," the prince said again after a few seconds, "your uncle's old department, why did they kill little Borwyn?"

Jann frowned:

"What? Have you just listened carefully? They want revenge, and Borwyn's father is the killer who assassinated the ex-Duke and confessed to Sona..."

"I don't understand here, right here," Thales thought thoughtfully, "how did you know that the enemy was Viscount Sona's old department?"

Xilai's eyes moved.

"Do I have to repeat everything?" Jenn was a little impatient, "because I checked the background of little Borwyn, and then strung together the clues and found..."

Jane's words came to a sudden stop.

Tales nodded.

"If it's true as you said, every time they kill, they just want to make people panic and shake the foundation of Emerald City's rule, then killing Moss, Diop, and Srimani is justified, because their identities are crucial, one Killing one after another on the street is enough to cause panic, but..."

Tales took a deep breath:

"But little Borwyn was just a low-level guy who played black fists in the underground ring and lived by beatings and bets. Killing him, in addition to hitting the grass, reminds you of his father, old Borwyn, and makes you alert. Also, will it help them in any way?

Jann frowned.

Xilai raised her eyebrows:

"Yes, that's a little...obvious?"

"I said, they want revenge, the more obvious the better," Jenn gritted his teeth, "In addition to disturbing the Emerald City, they also want to vent their anger and let everyone in the Emerald City know, so little Borwyn... …”

"Did they think, or do you think they thought?"

Jane was startled:

"What do you want to say?"

Tales cleared his throat: "Okay, so, if I were them, the old part of your uncle, your enemy and enemy..."

"Isn't the best method, the best strategy, and the coolest revenge? Shouldn't it be to let go of a small shrimp like Little Bolwen first? He didn't even participate in the events of the year, just a Did the hapless dad focus on other, more worthy goals?"

The Kevin Dill siblings' expressions changed slightly.

"Just like that, I killed key people one by one and exposed their corpses on the street..."

In the arena, the shouts of killing in the sky couldn't overwhelm Thales' words:

"While panicking the Emerald City, it also made people confused and kept you in the dark... Then, wait until the moment when the duke was really overthrown and the Emerald City was buried, and then carried the little Borwyn , jumped out unexpectedly and told the world to scare you: Kevin Deere died here."

Tales touched his chin and wondered:

"In order to let you wake up like a dream when you are powerless to return to the sky, you will suddenly realize when the situation is over, you want to make up for it but you can't, and when you think about the end today, you can't regret the beginning. The grievances and grievances that cannot be remedied in this life, unwilling to die, regretting the prison river, can't you be reborn forever?"

The voice fell, and Jen looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Wow," Xilai said in disbelief, asking what Jenn didn't say, "Why are you able to say the last sentence so smoothly and skillfully?"

Tales coughed and returned to the topic:

"Ahem, I said, if, if, if I were them, then I'd do it."

Jann's expression froze.

Tales continued:

"Instead of killing little Borwyn in the first place, making you alert and counter-attacking, like now: you suppressed your life, blocked the news, calmed the turmoil, and avoided chaos, then how could I Isn't it the opposite, and it hinders your own revenge?"

Jane frowned and said nothing.

Xilei tentatively said:

"Is there a possibility that when they killed Borwyn Jr., they were carried away by hatred?"

Tales nodded and said:

"It can't be ruled out, after all, people are not often rational... However, is there another possibility that they killed the little Borwyn, in fact, not to let the Emerald City know, but..."

"Fuck!"

Tales was interrupted, but he and Xilai were amazed: it was none other than the Emerald City Lord himself who spoke badly.

I saw Jen clenched his fists and looked angry.

"What's the matter, what the fuck? They didn't want the Emerald City to know, they wanted to let anyone know..."

Xi Lai's words stopped~IndoMTL.com~ Her expression changed.

"Misguided," she muttered.

Hearing this word, Thales also widened his eyes: "No way?"

Jann's breathing accelerated as he stared at the melee in the arena:

"No, no, I have to go to Ashford, and the Emerald Legion, something is wrong..."

Tales subconsciously probed, but suddenly found:

I don't know when it started, and the Star Lake Guard has disappeared from his sight.

Strange, where did they go? AWOL?

Tales was a little uneasy.

"Jane," Thales swallowed, "what you said just now, who are your uncle's old remnants, who slipped through the net in the treason case back then? I mean, Do you have a specific name?"

But in the next second, Thales only felt his wrist tighten and Jen grabbed him.

"Jane?" Xilai asked in surprise.

Tales was shocked: At this moment, Jen was sweating profusely.

"Tales," I felt that Jane said with difficulty, "After the battle, Ricorion in the Kingdom of Night, has that old guy come to see you?"

"What? Why?" Thales didn't know why.

Jane's hand trembled slightly, and he shook his head: "No, even if it is, it's too late... Now the priority is..."

"Brother? Are you okay?" Xilai asked worriedly.

But Jen ignored her and continued to look at Thales, gritted his teeth and asked:

"Tales, remember, the price?"

Jann stared at Thales, making the latter more and more uneasy:

"What price do you want to take decisively to save the Emerald City in the dark moment when the sky is falling apart?"

"What?" Thales was at a loss.

At this time, an accident occurred in the arena.
