Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 5: Chasing revenge in the secret room

　　 After a good night’s sleep, is it going to be unlucky again so soon?

　　 The thought flashed across the traveler's mind instantly, and he watched Gilbert calmly call in several nearby Terminator Swordsman guards.

　　Yordel patted Tyles on the shoulder and shook his head. His expression behind the mask was unknown, but Tyles made a "smiley face" in his brain to give the silent guard.

　　 Several Terminator Swordsmen took their orders one by one very efficiently.

　　 The originally empty and quiet Mindith Hall seemed to come alive suddenly. The fifty guards moved in an orderly manner under the unified command and dispatch, and the sound of passwords and reports came one after another.

　　"The third team is going to the main entrance on the second and third floors."

　　"On both sides of the lobby, the defense is complete!"

　　"Reinforcement of the sentry at the top of the hall is in place!"

　　 Gilbert finally calmly left a few words to a Terminator Swordsman who looked like a guard leader, then turned back to the study, and by the way took Thales, who was peeking at the entrance of the study. Went in.

　　 and Yodel has long since disappeared into the air, as always.

　　The middle-aged nobleman skillfully pried open the baffle behind a bookshelf with his cane, and pulled one of the bookshelves apart to reveal the secret room inside.

　　 "Who is here? Is it an enemy or a friend?" Thales struggled to ask when Gilbert carried him into the secret room.

　　 Kilber's characteristic brightened the unextinguished light in the secret room, and at the same time closed the secret door, he asked profoundly:

　　 "I guess you are asking, who would choose to break into the heavily guarded royal estate at 5 pm without warning?"

　　 Obviously, he no longer regards the little master behind him as a normal child.

　　 Thales smirked, already knowing the answer to the question.

　　 "I'm sorry, you are here to wait for a while, but confidentiality is still the first principle." In the dim light, Gilbert carefully opened a curtain, and a large square iron plate was exposed. There are six different filter holes.

　　 Thales leaned up curiously, and saw six different places in the small hole-Min Disi first floor lobby, garden, second floor balcony, second floor corridor, third floor stairs, third floor porch, and outdoor ceiling .

　　"This is a surveillance mirror made with the reflection of a mirror, which can bring different key areas in the Mindith Hall under your eyes." Gilbert smiled.

　　This—isn’t this just a periscope! Thales rolled his eyes in his heart.

　　"Here, the first team will play against each other."

　　 "The remaining guys are scattered."

　　Yordel’s voice came from the void.

　　 Thales immediately put his face in front of one of the surveillance mirrors.

　　 In the garden outside on the first floor, a team of ten-member Star Clan Terminator Swordsmen is forming a tacit battle, with swords and shields coming out, besieging five differently dressed, but all covered invasions By!

　　 It’s just that the five invaders seem to be a team that cooperates tacitly. The two wander between swords and shields holding flexible machetes, looking for opportunities, and mentioning the dangerous companions to rescue. The chain hammer often smashed one of the guards back in the dense swords and shields, while the other bullied himself with a half-long sword in his hand, trying to break through the gap in the battle. The last one also had a sword and shield in his hand. Check the gaps in the command room!

　　 "It's an hired ranger and adventurer!" Gilbert took a look in front of the surveillance mirror, and then said: "It seems to be a long-term cooperation and tacit understanding of the team. Please entrust it to the war and the violence of the lord. Live a life in time, hunters, soldiers, bodyguards, scouts and even killers, they all do it."

　　 "I only arrived at Mindith Hall last night. There were visitors so soon?" Thales let out a helpless sigh.

　　"Is the majesty of the royal family so cheap?"

　　 "I assure you, Mr. Thales-royal majesty is by no means cheap, on the contrary, it is the abnormality of the royal family that makes our enemies feel uneasy and fearful." Gilbert said softly. There is no tension or solemnity in the tone, as if this is just a game.

　　 "enemy?" Thales turned his head, his face thoughtful.

　　 "Yes, please don't worry about the outside, the well-trained guards and Yodel will take care of everything."

　　"And now is the best time to explain the third question to you-our enemies and allies."

　　The middle-aged nobleman took a few steps back, sat down on the dark sofa in the secret room, and said with a smile:

　　"For now. Your existence is the highest secret we want to keep."

　　"Especially to the lords and nobles of the stars."

　　"The six giants who guard the country and the thirteen noble families who support the kingdom are the backbone members of the Star High Council. Although they are constantly replaced and contradictory, they represent the beginning of the country and the Royal Family of the Stars pledged to rule together The noble forces of the People’s Republic of China."

　　 So, on the surface at least, this is a country ruled by kings and nobles, and Thales took notes in his heart.

　　He needs more information.

　　"Aristocrats--are lords and lords who are entrusted in various parts of the country? Dominate their respective territories?"

　　 Kilber characteristically nodded: "That was the source of power from the ancient empire to the final empire. It evolved to the Star Kingdom. Although there are many nobles who have only left names and honors, they truly grasp the lifeline of the country. It is still the six giants and thirteen prominent families with vast territories."

　　"According to the oath and the royal edict, they were ordered to guard the territories of the Quartet, submit to the king and pay taxes, and the territory directly controlled by the royal family is the traditional central territory of the Canstar family."

　　A country that is not much better than that in the Middle Ages-seriously inconsistent with the national productivity that I have seen.

　　 At this moment, very abruptly, Yodel's voice rang from the ears of the two again:

　　"The intruder from the roof of the hall--the people at the post are blocking."

　　 Looking at Kilberto who was silent in front of him, Thales resisted the desire to look at the surveillance mirror.

　　"Although these lords have their own legal private army, more often they will choose to hire outsiders to clean up some chores—especially some tasks that need to be separated from the relationship. The higher the power, the higher the status of the lords. Especially so, like our guests outside." Gilbert curled his mouth.

　　 "Then what is the meaning of existence and the powers of the high council composed of these lords and nobles?" Thales asked sensitively.

　　"The High Council is the product of the'Xianjun' Mindis III. In the costly Third Continental War, Xianjun ordered the powerful domestic lords, nobles, officials, priests, merchants and scholars to form together The High Council and the State are conferences. The former is the exclusive forum for the nobility of the territory, and the latter faces the people of prestige and identity throughout the stars. Mindis III used superb mediation methods to eliminate many contradictions and obstacles, distribute taxes, and deploy Resources, borrowing and repaying loans, allowed the stars to retain their precious vitality in the wars that severely hit the cross-strait countries."

　　 A platform where the public power of the state comes forward, handles contradictions between the upper and lower levels, reaches compromises, and condenses class consensus. Thales made another note in his heart.

　　"For the time being, the state is a meeting, but the high council of the nobles of the stars has been retained after the monarch. The major national affairs of the stars, such as the laws of the kings involving the whole territory, will be reached by the Supreme King and the nobles to reach a consensus, and then release This has become a common practice. In fact, after the formation of the High Council, the kingdom used to be at odds with each other, the nobles quarreled, and the phenomenon of violation of the power and the yin was much better." Gilbert said calmly.

The prototype of 　　 representative system? No, it can't be such an advanced thing. It's a bit like a feudal structure composed of lords on the way to a hierarchical country into an absolutist country, but it has initially become a stage for local forces to compete with central power.

　　"But with the advent of the **** year, the contradictions between the six giants and the thirteen noble families, and the Canstar royal family have become more and more obvious. In the twenty days after the death of the former king Eddie II, despite the constant conflicts between the nobles , But the Star King City under the High Council decided to lock the city gate and consolidate the troops. It was not until the return of His Majesty Kessel that he reached an agreement with him and crowned His Majesty."

　　 Independently-operated Feng Advice Conference-an organization that feudal lords united to speak to the monarch, but it was bad news for me-Thales was horrified.

　　The operation of the council has already eliminated the role of the royal family.

　　 This is a terrible force, as long as the time comes, it can become a stormy sea that overthrows the royal family.

　　"King Kessel, who has no heir for twelve years-the six giants are in sight."

　　 Gilbert's eyes were full of alert, and he answered mysteriously but complicatedly:

　　" With all due respect, our strong neighbors in the north, the kingdom of the hero Nicaru and the hero Sara, the Kingdom of Exeter, known as the "Blade of the West Continent", adopts the electoral system of lord election ——The king is produced among the major lords who have the right to stand for election."

While 　　 spoke, Yordel’s hoarse voice sounded again:

　　"The enemy attack on the second floor! The third and fourth teams are dealing with it."

　　"There are five more people. They are close to the third floor."

　　 Thales did nothing this time.

　　 Gilbert took a deep breath and pointed his finger outside:

　　 "Now, Mr. Thales, do you understand where your enemy is?"

　　 Thales was silent.

　　The hereditary king of stars.

　　The foreign king selection system.

　　 Six giants and 13 prominent families.

　　enemy.

　　 Gilbert simply told him the answer.

　　 But Thales felt that this information was far from enough. In his heart at this time, all possible speculations flashed through his mind.

　　He extracts effective elements from the high-speed brain, while continuing to ask:

　　"If the royal line is cut off-the six giants that guard the country, of course, it is the first choice to inherit the crown, but this also means that the new king will inherit all the territory, property, vassal, and Is it influential?"

　　"What if the six giants that were originally balanced and on the same level, one of them suddenly became the royal family, rapidly expanded, and possessed the orthodox supreme power-the stars, what would happen?"

　　"The six giants have become a giant and five giants, so they live happily together and move towards a better tomorrow just like when the star was still a royal family?"

　　 Gilbert has become accustomed to the little master’s interruption at any time, but this time, the middle-aged nobleman said nothing, just staring at him solemnly.

　　 Thales also looked back at him, his heart getting heavier.

　　"To make a concerted effort to fight for the crown-between them, the six giants and the thirteen noble families," Thales' eyes shone brightly: "I must have experienced complicated headaches of bargaining and division of interests, at least It is necessary to discuss who will wear the crown."

　　 Especially after a full twelve years without an heir, in the eyes of many people, the severance of the Canxing family blood is inevitable.

　　hu—Thyls exhaled deeply.

　　 It seems that my own life and death really affects the peace and turbulence of a country.

　　A thought suddenly flashed through his heart.

　　 Thales was taken aback.

　　 "Gilbert," the traverser stood up from the sofa, frowned, and slowly said: "In the Bloody Year-what role did these high lords play? I seem to listen to you Said-to force the palace? The disaster of the royal family -"

　　 Gilbert just took a deep breath, but his eyes were extremely complicated.

　　 A chill hit Thales's heart.

　　 Your Majesty was beheaded on the throne.

　　 The princesses were strangled to death in their sleep.

　　The princesses were burned to death in the castle.

　　The princes and grandchildren even died in their infants.

The eldest son of 　　 wielded a sword alone, fighting at the gate of the palace.

　　 Brother Wang encountered a sneak attack from behind on the battlefield.

　　 and four princes.

　　 Thales opened his mouth wide and fell on the sofa in a daze.

After 　　 crossed, he felt that life was so complicated for the first time-you know, even in the most difficult and dark days of the Brotherhood, the traversers who were once were not discouraged.

　　There is a long silence in the secret room.

　　 Until Yodel's voice sounded again without warning!

　　"It seems that it is the last elite group. I broke into the third floor and is engaged in the battle."

　　 But Thales doesn't care anymore.

　　His thoughts are flying to the possible employers of the intruders outside the secret door:

　　Why is there such a shameless royal family? He was completely killed by his lord!

　　 Then I would commit suicide when I escaped from the Brotherhood!

　　 My so-called father can still sit on Diaoyutai? Can he still sit on the throne wearing his crown? What is it, who gave him such confidence?

　　Magician?

　　 Wait—my so-called father, is my father still a king?

　　Why is he still a king? Can you still be a king?

　　This explanation——

　　 "No!"

　　 The next moment, Thales immediately sat up, his face solemn, but he resolutely overthrew his guess:

　　"First of all, the Scarlet Year is a total disaster from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside-and the secret assassination of a recognized wise king will not help the nobles in the chaotic status quo."

　　"Secondly, Gilbert, you said that the High Council used to rule independently for twenty days after the king was assassinated — twenty days without a king! After all, they did not evenly divide the spoils and reached a unified opinion. , To support the new king, or to say, in fact, they are also in fear, and even the king’s death is caught off guard?"

　　"The key point is my father. His Majesty Kessel was crowned after reaching an agreement with the High Council-this shows that he has enough support from the high lords. Could it be that at that time, someone foresaw the rightful manhood Prince Kessel, who will have no heirs in the next twelve years, so that the lords can have a dream of a crown that can only be fulfilled in twelve years? What kind of power can make such a guarantee?"

　　"The last doubt is-you said, my father has already avenged all the revenge. The hidden dangers have been basically resolved, and the remaining revenge either cannot be avenged or cannot be done. Maybe the six major The giants are indeed terrible, but if they are really the murderers behind the killing of the royal family, then in twelve years, his Majesty Kessel, known as the "iron fist", should also act?"

　　"In essence, the royal family, like the lords of the six giants, is nothing but a great nobleman with a long history."

　　"If they are really ready to sit on the throne, they know they must not—at least they cannot set this precedent under collusion. The killing and massacre of the royal family by the top giants, if they one day enjoy the throne, Yan knows Repeat the same mistakes?"

　　"The six giants are not the murderers who slaughtered the royal family!"

　　"Really? Gilbert?"

　　 Thales stared at the middle-aged nobleman, as if to dig something out of his mind.

　　 Seeing Gilbert lift up, he smiled in exclamation.

　　 Gilbert cleared his throat and nodded:

　　 "Originally, my plan was to guide your thinking to the six giants as opponents. This is enough. But it seems that I still underestimated you, my dear little gentleman."

　　"If you can think of this, your Majesty will be proud of it too."

　　"But they, the lords in the palace back then, were by no means blameless—at least, they chose to stand by and even glad to see the result of the brutal massacre of the royal family."

　　 Gilbert looked sad, hesitated for a while, and finally insisted on speaking:

　　"The disaster of the Canstar family~IndoMTL.com~There is indeed someone else behind it."

　　"But the real truth is unknown to me."

　　 "Only your majesty, he knows all the details-this is a tragedy belonging to Canxing, and he should tell you personally."

　　 Thales fixedly looked at Gilbert.

　　 But then, he exhaled vigorously, as if an inflated sphere had suddenly collapsed, and fell onto the sofa behind him.

　　 "Cut--" Thales ignored his manners and rolled his eyes: "Say it early!"

　　 Gilbert smiled.

　　 The middle-aged nobleman bowed slightly, acquiescing to what the little master said, thinking: Thales, this kid--maybe the stars will be different because of this.

　　 Although, you, the true enemy of the Canstar royal family, may be more terrifying than the so-called six giants and thirteen noble families, and it is unknown.

　　The extremely abrupt voice reappeared:

　　 "It's all solved." Yodel's voice came again, "There is no life left."

　　 Gilbert's expression became serious, he nodded, stood up and said slowly: "Very good."

　　 Thales hadn't reacted yet, but his eyes widened.

　　 Is this solved? The effort of a meal?

　　 As soon as the stone fell, how come it sank without a sound?

　　 Gilbert was at the secret door, motioning to Thales, asking him to go out, and saying: "Don’t worry, Mr. Thales—just to try."

　　 "We can solve these chores."
