Chapter 1513: The King Capital Wind and Rain
The king of Demacia, Florin, was seriously ill, and he was ready to summon some important ministers to explain some things before his death, and Liu Yu was among them. Although Liu Yu, the "Viscount Freljord", could not afford to be called a "minister" in terms of power, the high yield of sweet potatoes he provided and his strong personal strength and harmonious relationship with the Cult of Deities made Florin not ignore him at all.
Because of the awkward relationship with the Laurent family, Liu Yu returned to the royal capital, even though he knew that it was really rude for him not to return to "home", but he didn't want to go back to the Duke of Windsor's mansion. Fortunately, the chamber of commerce under Liu Yu has developed well, and there is also an industry in the royal capital, so he immediately purchased a manor for him, and quickly prepared all the items in it for him to move in immediately.
The day after arriving in Demacia City, Liu Yu received an invitation letter sent by the eldest prince Jiawen. His hand tapped lightly on the tabletop, and Liu Yu fell into deep thought. He thought that the first person to invite him might be King Florin, after all, he had come "by edict", but the owner of this invitation was only the first in line to the throne of the kingdom. You know, the difference between these is profound.
Liu Yu researched the place where the dinner was held, which was Jiawen's private estate. Traditionally, only people close to Jiawen can enter, although he has dealt with Jiawen and he knows his true identity, but he should not invite himself to this place anyway......
"Annoyed?" Opening his eyes, Liu Yu saw Shivana, and the other party's face was full of concern.
Nodding helplessly, Liu Yu held his chin and said, "Before I came over, I knew that the situation in Wangdu was not simple, but after I came, I found that the complexity had exceeded my expectations." Even though I wasn't going to wade into the muddy waters, someone was already trying to pull me in. ”
Liu Yu glanced at the invitation on the table, and Shivana also saw it according to Liu Yu's gaze, she picked it up, and the name on it was very unfamiliar to her. Yes, for the half-dragons, it doesn't matter how noble the emperors of the world are, and they won't remember the names of these characters who don't have anything to do with them.
"These things are important?" Sivana asked Liu Yu that she didn't quite understand why Liu Yu cared about the idea of a prince.
It's really not very important, Liu Yu's personal strength is enough to turn the country upside down, but the purpose of his coming to Varoran is not for this! In order not to be expelled by the Heavenly Dao of this world during the "mission", Liu Yu must abide by the rules of Varoran and not exert too much outrageous power.
Although he felt a little aggrieved, but with Shivana's reminder, Liu Yu finally had a hint of enlightenment, Jiawu and Jiawen's competition for the throne had nothing to do with him at all, he didn't come here to participate in the hegemony, and it was wise to find a way to complete the "task" as soon as possible. If these two people ascend the throne, if they want to find their own trouble for today's "standing by", it is estimated that it will take several years to completely grasp the power before they can do it, at that time, they have probably completed the task, and they took the ninth lotus petal away, and took 10,000 steps back and said, even if they have not obtained the ownership of the ninth lotus petal at that time, but the great changes in the world in the premonition must have come, do you still need to care about them? So let's go to the appointment tomorrow......
###################################################
After the appointment, Liu Yu returned to the mansion, and he was confused about Jiawen's request: asking himself to see the king in three days? Even if the Kingdom summons you, do you have to call yourself sick and procrastinate? What is this situation?
According to the information that Liu Yu obtained, although Florin is indeed very sick now, he is sober and can still give orders, and it is Jiawu's biological mother who stays by Florin's side, and if something happens to Florin, the result will inevitably be beneficial to Jiawu. Florin knew that this situation still had to let Jiawu's mother take care of herself, had she already decided to choose Jiawu? However, if Florin had a little wisdom, it would have been clear that Jiawu's greatest reliance on him for the throne was him, and Jiawen, the "first heir to the throne", was supported by most of the nobles. If Jiawu is allowed to ascend the throne, Jiawen will definitely be dissatisfied, and the entire kingdom of Demacia will be a mess at that time......
I really don't understand what these otherworldly people are thinking...... Liu Yu shook his head, and was about to analyze Jiawen's deep meaning again, but the maid hurriedly entered the door.
"Why are you so flustered? Didn't I say let me be quiet? Liu Yu frowned displeasedly. Looking up, he noticed that there was indeed something wrong with Serilda's face. "What's going on?"
"Your Excellen......cy," Cyril Dart paused, "the Duke of Windsor has come to visit." ”
Did you receive the news that you and Jia Wen had a secret discussion? It's okay, the situation in the royal capital should know a lot about this cheap brother, see what he said!
The door was opened, and Liu Yu leaned back on the sofa a little lazily, looking at his angry "brother", "It's rude to come back to the royal capital to be busy, and it's rude not to visit you at the first time." Liu Yu's opening seemed polite, but in fact it was full of estranged words.
The Duke of Windsor frowned, and his eyes were full of displeasure when he looked at Liu Yu, but although he was annoyed by Liu Yu's attitude, he still didn't lose his temper, but just asked in a much colder voice than usual, "You went to Jiawen?" ”
And so it was. Liu Yu sighed in his heart and nodded.
"He just wants to use you to blackmail the entire Laurent family and pull the Laurent family to his ship, you are not in the royal capital, and you don't understand the current situation, don't have anything to do with him!"
Have you decided on a position? Liu Yu showed a smile, looked at Laurent and asked, "Can I blackmail you?" Do you want to hold the entire Laurent family hostage? ”
"You're my brother anyway." The Duke of Windsor snapped.
"But I don't want to admit that you are the elder brother...... Liu Yu stood up and said to the Duke with an indifferent expression: "So, you don't have to worry about what I do, don't be afraid that my defection to Jiawen will affect your status on Jiawu's side......"
The Duke of Windsor probably didn't expect Liu Yu to ignore the family so much, looking at that immature face, he was shocked by the coldness in Liu Yu's eyes, and walked out of the door angrily after a while.
Two hours later, Serilda rushed into the study again, interrupting Liu Yu's thoughts: "My lord......"
Looking up at the pale Serilda, Liu Yu asked calmly, "What's the matter?" ”
Serelda lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Liu Yu's gaze, and said tremblingly: "This is the document sent by the Duke after he went back. ”
Paperwork? Liu Yu picked up the brown paper presented by Serilda. After reading the content, he sneered. Disinherit? Deprivation of the surname? Do you really think I'm willing to be your brother? Without hesitation, Liu Yu signed his name on this document to sever relations.
Although the Duke of Windsor sent the document and Liu Yu had signed it, a few days later, the news was not made public. In the eyes of everyone, Liu Yu is still a member of the Laurent family, a core member with the right to inherit. However, this matter can be hidden from outsiders, but it cannot be hidden from one's own people.
The Duke of Windsor's wife, Liu Yu's sister-in-law, Wei Xisie, was the first to know, and she also played a role in contributing to it. After seeing the documents sent back by Liu Yu, Wei Xie Si was completely relieved. Since Liu Yu is no longer surnamed Laurent, what if he is "Viscount Freljord"? Involved with the eldest prince Jiawen, the second prince Jiawu will never forgive, and his son's inheritance is worry-free.
However, regardless of the outside news, Liu Yu still followed Jiawen's instructions and stayed at home quietly for three days before accepting the king's summons.
On the way to the palace, Liu Yu suddenly sensed the killing intention, and he immediately used spatial magic to transfer to a hidden place, and then he saw it...... People from the Cult of Deity? Although he was disguised, Liu Yu had a divine thought, as long as he had seen it, no matter how much he disguised, it was useless. One of the people who attacked him was one he had seen and knew to be from the Cult of Deity.
How could these guys be here, and even attack their own carriages with a sneak attack? Seeing that the carriage was smashed into slag by magic, Liu Yu frowned slightly, always feeling that something happened that he didn't know. A person suddenly grabbed his hand, because it felt familiar, Liu Yu did not attack at the first time but turned his head, it was Shivana.
"Sokala has been discovered." Shivana said to Liu Yu.
Previously, Sivana, who was Liu Yu's personal bodyguard, received a tip that people from the Nature God Cult had begun to haunt the royal capital. She had previously thought that the Cult of Deity was here to heal Florin, after all, the Cult of Deity was proficient in the "art of life" and was the state religion of Demacia, and was obliged to serve the lord of a nation. But soon, Trandel, who was born in the upper echelons of the Cult of Nature and inexplicably came to Liu Yu to recommend himself, sent her a letter with magic, pointing out that the purpose of the Cult of Nature was to search for a fallen protoss who had escaped from the headquarters of the Cult of Nature.
Originally, Liu Yu had Demacia's umbrella, and the Cult of Nature God didn't dare to make a public move, but now that Florin is critically ill, the two princes are-for-tat, and Demacia is too busy to take care of himself, where is the spare strength to offend the Cult of Nature for Liu Yu? Shivana immediately realized that Liu Yu was in danger!
The papermaking technique that Liu Yu came up with earlier has been developed, although it has not yet been fully rolled out, but as long as you have an eye, you can see the great changes that the production of paper will bring to Varoran, and Kel's power in the Cult of Nature has also grown smoothly.
After getting the benefits, it is normal to kick Liu Yu away, the papermaking technique was given to him by Liu Yu, and the other people of this natural god sect don't know, so it's best to take the credit on yourself. Therefore, after receiving the secret report that the escaped Protoss might be by Liu Yu's side, Archbishop Kel'thugad did not ask for verification at all, and immediately issued an order to the branch of the royal capital, and at the same time sent a secret force, ready to take the opportunity to kill Liu Yu as soon as possible.
I really underestimated the influence of the Cult of Deity, and I was able to let the people around me leak secrets...... You must know that Sokala basically stays by Liu Yu's side, and except for his maid guards, outsiders will not know about his existence at all. Liu Yu originally thought that he had enough control over the people around him, but now it seems that he needs to go further! Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu asked calmly: "Has there been a sneak attack on the manor, and how is the situation in Sokala?" ”
Liu Yu's calmness made Shivana's frowning brows slightly relaxed: "Those people have disguises, and the upright attack is too provocative to the nobles of the royal capital, and they won't do it yet, they are just guessing that Sokala is by your side now, and they haven't seen it yet, and the top priority is to hide Sokala." ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back immediately and wait until the evening to take Sokala away." ”
When he returned home and saw Sokala safe and sound, Liu Yu smiled and said, "Sokala, let's go back first, the Nature God Sect may have guessed something, and is looking for you everywhere, and has found our side, you hide for a while." ”
Sokala's eyes were slightly cold when he heard the words of the Sect of Nature. Because of Liu Yu's appearance, she didn't plan to care about the crime of "blasphemy" because her wish was fulfilled, but now it seems that someone is going to kill herself! It's ridiculous that the sect that believes in her will eventually be destroyed by her own hands......
Looking at Liu Yu's concerned face, Sokala smiled and asked, "Okay, where are you going?" ”
Seeing Sokala's smile, Liu Yu also responded with a smile: "Dungeon." ”
####################################################
Jiawu sat in his chair and listened to Salestelle's excited statement, hooked the corners of his mouth, and glanced at him happily with his wine glass. It has to be said that Salestel is the youngest of all his followers, so he has always liked Salestelle, because at a young age, he can clearly see all of Salestil's purposes.
Hearing the news that the mysterious Viscount Freljord had defected to Brother Wang, Jiawu was not too surprised, he had expected this, and the entire king had already reached a consensus on the contradiction between Viscount Brett and the Laurent family. However, what Salestel said at this moment still made him feel happy, because the Duke of Windsor relented.
Although the current Duke of Laurent does not have the same talent as the old Duke of Windsor, the connections in the Duke's Mansion are still there, which is also a big help to himself. It's just that although Laurent has always had a tendency to throw himself on his side, it is not very obvious, and Jiawu can see that he is still hesitating. If it weren't for the fact that with the help of his mother, he completely controlled the palace, and his father's life and death were under his own control, the Duke of Windsor would never have had such an early showdown.
What does it mean to have a document for Viscount Brett to leave the Laurent family? took it out in such a hurry, and the secret thing he buried in Laurent's house didn't even reveal the news, and it is estimated that the elders of the Laurent family are still unclear, and this document has not been made public at all, and it has not been recognized at all. But so what? This document clearly bears the signature of the Duke of Windsor, and this document is specially for me.
"Your Highness, I will be the heir of the Laurent family in the future, and I will continue to be loyal to you." Thinking that Liu Yu had completely lost the right to inherit, and the Laurent family was completely his own, Salestel had been so excited for a few days.
Jiawu touched the underage child. The Laurent family still has some value, so let them continue to exist, and the most important thing now is to kill their only competitor. The old guy still refused to let go, and it was easier to kill the other party directly. If there is only one heir left, can the old guy have any other choice?
