MTL - Kingdom’s Bloodline-Chapter 23 Secret room
Chapter 23: The Chamber of Secrets
It’s hard to sleep well, is it so bad again?
The idea passed over Tyre's mind in an instant, and he watched Gilbert calmly recruit several nearby swordsman guards.
Yodel patted Teres's shoulder and shook his head. The expression behind the mask was unknown, but Tyres added a "smiley face" to the silent guard.
Several of the final swordsmen took the opportunity to go one by one very efficiently.
Originally empty and quiet, the Di Di Si Hall, like suddenly came alive, fifty guards under the unified command and dispatch, moving in an orderly manner, passwords and reports sound one after another.
"The third team is going to the main entrances on the second and third floors."
"On both sides of the hall, the arming is complete!"
"The top of the hall is a reinforcement, it is in place!"
Gilbert finally calmly left a few words to a final swordsman who looked like a guard leader, then turned back to the study, and sneaked into the sneak peek at the door of the study.
And Jodel has long disappeared into the air, as always.
The middle-aged aristocrats skillfully opened the shelf behind the bookshelf with a cane, and opened a shelf to reveal the secret room inside.
"Who is the person coming from? Is it the enemy or the friend?" Tyres was struggling to ask when he was holding Gilbert into the Chamber of Secrets.
Kyle's characteristic light in the bright room, while closing the secret door, quite profoundly asked:
"I guess you are asking, who would choose to break into the ruthless royal industry without warning at 5 pm?"
Obviously, he no longer regards the little master behind him as a normal child.
Taylors smiled and knew the answer to the question.
"Sorry, you are here to wait for a moment, but confidentiality is still the first principle." In the dim light, Gilbert carefully opened a curtain, a small square iron plate exposed, there are six Different filter holes.
Taylors curiously got together and saw six different places in the small hole - the first floor lobby, the garden, the second floor balcony, the second floor corridor, the third floor staircase, the third floor porch and the outdoor hall top.
“This is a mirror that uses mirror reflections to capture the different key areas of the Judith Hall.” Gilbert smiled.
This - this is not a periscope! Taylors rolled his eyes in the bottom of his heart.
"Come on, the first team will be in the hands."
"The rest of the guys are scattered."
Jodel’s voice came from the void.
Tyres immediately put his face in front of one of the surveillance glasses.
It was in the garden on the first floor, a team of ten people, the comet family ended the swordsman, is forming a tacit battle, swords and shields out, besieged five invaders dressed up in different, but all covered!
It’s just that the five intruders seem to be a tacit team. They have flexible scimitars, wandering between swords and shields, looking for opportunities, and picking up companions in danger, one with arm shields and hammers. In the intensive sword shield, one of the guards won back and forth again, while the other man held a half-length sword and deceived himself, trying to make a breakthrough in the gap of the battle. The last one was also a sword shield, seemingly in the command room. Filling in the gaps!
“It’s a hired ranger and adventurer!” Gilbert glanced at the monitor and immediately said, “It seems to be a long-term, tacit team that has lived between war and the lord’s violence. Hunters, soldiers, bodyguards, scouts and even killers, they all do."
"I only arrived at the Judith Hall last night, so there are visitors so soon?" Taylor sighed reluctantly.
“Is the majesty of the royal family so cheap?”
"I assure you that Mr. Tyres - the majesty of the royal family is not cheap, on the contrary, it is the abnormality of the royal family that makes our enemies feel uneasy and fearful." Gilbert gently said, no tone A little nervous and dignified, as if this is just a game.
"Enemy?" Tyres turned his head and thought thoughtfully.
"Yes, please don't worry about it, the well-trained guards and Jodel will handle everything."
“And now is the best time to explain the third question to you – our enemies and allies.”
The middle-aged aristocrats stepped back and sat down on the dark sofa in the secret room, smiling:
"For now, your existence is the highest secret we have to keep."
"Especially for the lords and nobles of the stars."
"The six giants guarding the borders and the thirteen families supporting the kingdom are the backbone members of the high-ranking parliament. Even though they are constantly changing and contradictory, they represent the loyalty of the covenant with the comet of the royal family. power."
So, at least on the surface, this is a country where the king and the nobility ruled together, and Tyres took notes in his heart.
He needs more information.
"Aristocracy - is it the size of the lords who are sealed across the country? Fully rule their respective territories?"
Kilber nodded: "That was the source of the original aristocracy from the ancient empire to the final empire. It evolved into the Star Kingdom. Although many nobles have only the name and honor, but the true lifeline of the country is still vast. The six giants of the territory and the thirteen families."
"According to the vows and Wang Hao, they were ordered to guard the territory of the Quartet and surrender and pay taxes to the king. The territory directly controlled by the royal family is the traditional central territory of the comet family."
A country that is much more than the Middle Ages - it is seriously incompatible with the productivity of the country I have seen.
At this moment, it was extremely abrupt, and Jodé’s voice rang from both ears:
"Intruders from the top of the hall - the people at the post are blocking."
Looking at the unsettled Kirberto, Taylors held back the desire to look at the mirror.
“These lords have their own legitimate private army, but more often, they choose to hire outsiders to clean up some chores – especially those that need to be clarified. The higher the power, the more important the lord is. For example, our guests outside. "Gilbert bent his lips.
"What is the meaning of the existence of the High Council, which is composed of this group of lords and nobles, and what power is there?" Tells asked sensitively.
“The High Council is the product of the rule of the sage of the sages. In the costly fourth continental war, the sages commanded the powerful lords, officials, priests, businessmen and scholars of the country to form the high council and the country. It is a meeting. The former is the exclusive venue for the aristocrats of the Territory, while the latter faces the people who have the prestige and identity of the whole star. Judith III has eliminated many contradictions and obstacles by means of superb mediation, assigned taxes, allocated resources, and borrowed The loan allowed the stars to retain valuable vitality in the war that hit the countries on both sides of the strait."
A platform from the state's public power to deal with contradictions, reach a compromise, and converge the consensus of the class, Taylors also wrote a note in the bottom of his heart.
"The country is a meeting for the time being, the high-ranking parliament of the aristocrats of the stars has been preserved after the sages. The national events of the stars, such as the king's law involving the whole territory, will be reached by the supreme king and aristocrats, and then released. In fact, after the formation of the higher parliament, the kingdom has been up and down in the past, the aristocracy has fought, and the phenomenon of yin and yin has improved a lot.” Gilbert calmly said.
The prototype of the representative system? No, it can't be such a advanced thing. It is a bit like a feudal structure composed of lords on the way from a hierarchical state to an absolutist country, but it has initially become a stage for local forces to compete with central power.
"But with the arrival of the **** year, the contradiction between the six giants and the thirteen families, and the royal family of the comet has become more apparent. In the thirteen days after the first king Eddie II was desecrated, despite the contradictions between the nobles, the higher The star king of the parliament under the rule of parliament, decided to lock the gates of the city and consolidate the troops until the return of Kaiser’s Majesty, and reached an agreement with him to crown his Majesty."
The independent operation of the proposal - the feudal lord united to the monarch's organization, but it is bad news for me - Tyres heart.
The operation of the parliament has already ruled out the role of the royal family.
This is a terrible force, and as soon as the time comes, it can become a storm of overthrowing the royal family.
"And the king of Kaiser, who has no heirs for twelve years, is in the eyes of the six giants."
Gilbert’s eyes were full of vigilance, replied mysteriously but complicatedly:
"Excuse me, our strong northern neighbor, the hero Nakaru and the hero of Sarah's kingdom, known as the 'Western Blade' of the Exeter Kingdom, adopted the king's election system - the king Produced between the major lords who have the right to stand for election."
During the conversation, Jodel’s hoarse voice rang again:
"The second floor is attacking! The third and fourth teams are coping."
"There are five more people. They are close to the third floor."
Tyres didn't have any action this time.
Gilbert took a deep breath and he pointed his fingers outside:
"Now, Mr. Tyres, do you understand where your enemy is?"
Taylors is silent.
The king of hereditary stars.
Foreign election system.
Six giants and thirteen families.
enemy.
Gilbert is equal to telling him the answer directly.
But Taylors feels that this information is not enough. In his heart at this time, all kinds of possible speculations are flashing in my heart.
He extracts effective elements from the high-speed brain while continuing to ask:
"If the king severs off - the six giants guarding the country, of course, is the first choice to inherit the crown, but it also means that the new king will inherit all the territories, property, vassals, influence of the comet family. ?"
"If the original strength is balanced, the six giants who are equal and equal, one of them suddenly becomes a royal family, rapidly expanding, and has the supreme power of the highest - the stars, what will happen?"
"The six giants have become a big behemoth and the five giants. So, when the comet was still the royal family, live happily together and go to a better tomorrow?"
Gilbert has become accustomed to the small master's words and interrupts at any time, but this time, the middle-aged aristocrats did not speak, but looked at him with dignity.
Taylors also looked back at him, and his heart became heavier.
"In order to work together to win the crown - they, between the six giants and the thirteen generations," Taylors's eyes are full of light: "I must have experienced complicated headaches and bargaining, and at least negotiate Who will wear the crown?"
Especially after 12 years of experience, there is no time for the heirs. In many people's eyes, the severance of the blood of the comet family is inevitable.
Huh - Tyres breathed a deep breath.
It seems that the survival of one's life and death really affects the peace and turmoil of a country.
A thought suddenly flashed through his heart.
Taylors stunned.
"Gilbert," the boy stood up from the couch, frowning, and slowly said: "In the **** year - what role did these big lords play? I seem to hear you say that - Force the palace? The disaster of the royal family -"
Gilbert only took a deep breath, but his eyes were very complicated.
A chill hit the heart of Tells.
His Majesty was beheaded on the throne.
The princesses were strangled in their sleep.
The kings were burned to death in the castle.
The grandsons even died in the embarrassment.
Wang Changzi alone held the sword and battled the palace gate.
Wang Di encountered a sneak attack behind the battlefield.
There are also four princes.
Tyres opened his mouth and slammed it on the sofa.
After crossing, he felt that life was so complicated for the first time—know that even in the most difficult and dark days of the Brotherhood, the former Ters was not discouraged.
Silence in the secret room for a long time.
Until the voice of Yodel again sounded without warning!
"It seems to be the last elite group. Go to the third floor and get in the battle."
But Taylors doesn't care anymore.
His mind is flying to the potential employers of the intruders outside the secret door:
Why is there such a royal family? Actually killed by the lords of his hands!
Then I escaped from the Brotherhood and it was suicide!
My so-called father can still sit on the Diaoyutai? Can you still sit on the throne with his crown? What is it, who gave him such confidence?
Magician?
Wait a minute - my father, my father is still a king?
Why is he still king now? Can you still be a king?
this means--
"Do not!"
The next moment, Tyres sat up and his face was dignified, but he resolutely overturned his guess:
"First of all, the **** year is a comprehensive disaster from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside - and the secret assassination of a well-recognized king does not help the chaotic status of the nobility."
"Secondly, Gilbert, you said that the High Council once ruled for 13 days in the case of the assassination of the King - 13 days without the King! It is because they are not evenly divided, and they cannot reach a unified opinion. Li Xinwang, or said, in fact, they also feared in their hearts, even the king’s death was caught off guard?"
"The key point is that my father, His Majesty Kaiser, was crowned with an agreement with the High Council. This shows that he has received enough support from the big lords. Was there someone who foresaw the righteous Catherine? Prince Er, there will be no more children in the next 12 years, so that the lords can do a crown dream that can only be fulfilled after 12 years? What kind of abilities can make such a guarantee?"
"The last doubt is - you said, my father, has already reported the hatred of the newspaper. The hidden danger has been basically solved, and the remaining enemies are not reported, or can not be done. Perhaps the six giants are indeed very Terrible, but if they are really killing the murderer of the royal family, then in the 12 years, the kneeling of Kaiser, known as the 'iron wrist', should be acted upon?"
"And in essence, the royal family, like the lords of the six giants, is nothing but a long-standing aristocrat."
"If they are really ready to sit on the throne, they know that they must not - at least not collude to open this precedent. The top giants are killing and slaughtering the royal family. If they have to enjoy the throne one day, they know that they will not repeat the same mistakes?"
"The six giants are not the murderers of the slaughterhouse!"
"Is it? Gilbert?"
Tyres stared at the middle-aged aristocrat, as if to dig something out of his mind.
I saw that Gilbert picked up and immediately showed a sighing smile.
Gilbert cleared his throat and nodded:
"Originally, my plan is to guide your thinking to the six giants as opponents. This is enough. But it seems that I still looked down on you, my dear little gentleman."
"You can think of this, and you will be proud of it."
"But they, the lords in the court, were not without responsibility at all - at least, in the case of the royal family being slaughtered, they chose to stand by and even enjoy themselves."
Gilbert looked stunned and hesitated for a while, and finally insisted on opening:
"The disaster of the comet family is indeed another person behind it."
"But the real truth, I don't know."
"Only His Majesty, he knows all the details - this is the tragedy of the comet, and it is up to him to tell you."
Taylors looked at Gilbert fixedly.
But then, he spit out a sigh of relief, as if the gas-filled ball suddenly collapsed and fell on the sofa behind him.
"Cut--" Taiers refused to take care of his manners and turned his eyes: "I will say it early!"
Gilbert smiled.
The middle-aged aristocrats glimpsed a little, defaulting to the little master's statement, thinking: Tyres, this child - maybe the stars will be different.
Although, you, the real enemy of the comet's royal family, may be more terrible than the so-called six giants and thirteen generations.
The extremely abrupt voice reappears:
"All solved." Yodel’s voice came again. "There is no living."
Gilbert’s expression was serious. He nodded and stood up and said slowly: “Good.”
Taylors didn't react, just widened his eyes.
Is this solved? The effort of a meal?
The stone just fell, how can it not even sound, it sinks?
At the secret door, Gilbert gestured to Tyres and asked him to go out and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tells - just to test."
"These chores are just what we can solve."
"Your battlefield is a lot more dangerous and sinister than ours."
