Chapter 110: You're not too stupid
Unbeknownst to Leo and Scarlett, Stormwind was already undercurrent on their way to the palace.
Instigating a rebellion among the prisoners in the prison, Leo thought that it would take a while for others to investigate, but he underestimated the various forces in Stormwind City too much, and a detailed report on the situation was already in front of Pasonia at almost the same time as the prisoners of the prison fought with the city guards who rushed in. The tentacles of influence spread throughout MI7 in the Stormwind Kingdom, and the power of its intelligence network was simply beyond Leo's imagination.
The other powers are not as good at intelligence as MI7, but they are no worse, and by the time Leo returns to the Gilded Rose Inn to meet Scarlett, the Kingdom's dignitaries have learned the story of the incident.
"This bastard boy, he still dares to go to the palace now!"
Pasonia was furious, Leo didn't know how deep the water in the kingdom was, and he didn't want to live anymore to stir up trouble in Stormwind? Even he didn't have the ability to keep him. MI7, while powerful, is not omnipotent.
A middle-aged man with a mustache sitting next to Pasonia flipped through the information on the table and said to Pasonia: "Come with me to the palace, if his reasons are good, I should be able to save him." ”
The middle-aged uncle is none other than the one who single-handedly founded MI7, and Pasonia's direct boss, Ewell Jandon, is also the only person in MI7 who has higher authority than Pasonia.
Hearing Ewell's words, Pasonia's eyes flickered faintly. Ever summoned her at the same time as he went to the palace, ostensibly so that she could protect Leo at a critical moment, but secretly restricted Pasonia's movements, preventing her from making certain arrangements in secret.
Despite guessing Ewell's intentions, Pasonia made no objections, and she followed Eweller towards the palace.
At this time, in the royal palace, a farce was being staged.
In the presence of the young King Anduin Ureon, Greg, the Count of the Kingdom, was making a big statement about Leo as useless. In his mouth, Leo has become a thug who even robs the lollipops of children on the street, and it is not enough to kill him.
When he knew that it was a black-haired and black-eyed warlock who provoked the prison riot, Greg immediately thought of the guy who provoked him, how could the narrow-minded Count not seize the opportunity to slander him, and vowed to put Leo who offended him to death.
The young king looked at the foaming Greg with a confused look on his face, but if you looked closely enough, you would notice a flash of wisdom in the king's eyes from time to time. Under the careful tutelage of the Grand Duke of the Kingdom, Berval Vortagen, Anduin was clearly a far more intelligent than his years, and whoever treated him as a child was definitely unlucky.
Sitting on the throne stood next to Anduin a man and a woman, the man was a paladin who was not angry and self-imposing, and when facing him, an invisible pressure came to his face, and people who were not firm enough would involuntarily have a fear of it. This person is Grand Duke Berval Vortagen, who held the power in the Kingdom of Stormwind and single-handedly supported the entire Kingdom of Stormwind after the disappearance of the kingdom's predecessor, King Varian.
It was because of his presence that many careerists in the kingdom did not dare to covet Anduin's throne.
At this time, the Grand Duke of the Kingdom was standing beside Anduin with a calm face, and the foaming Greg was like air in his eyes, and the Earl's words could not arouse his slightest attention. The woman standing on the other side of Anduin asked Greg with a funny face, "Since Count Greg knows that this warlock named Leo is a very vicious man, why should he give him a chance?" I think he should have offended you the other day, when you should have taken this man down. ”
Greg, who was making a big statement, choked on these words and turned red, isn't this a slap in the face from Hongguoguo? With his Greg surname, if he could take down Leo at that time, why would he call him a guard, and how could he not find fault with Leo after he was imprisoned?
Greg was secretly angry in his heart, what does this woman Presto mean? Is she trying to go against me and see me make a fool of myself?
Presto? That's right, this woman is the same black-haired and black-eyed as Leo, with a mysterious origin, and Leo believes that there is a high probability that she is the Countess Presto, his hometown.
This woman has entered the core of the kingdom's power with her skillful communication skills, many years of business connections, and extraordinary political ability, even the Grand Duke of Berval has a good impression of her.
The goodwill between human beings with different surnames can often give birth to a wonderful thing, which is called ** love.
Anduin had a funny look on his face when he saw Greg choking on Presto's words. Despite his young age, he knew a lot of things as a royal and precocious child, and Greg was foaming at the mouth in front of him, clearly not taking himself as a king in his eyes, how could such a person be liked by Anduin? Now seeing him deflated, Anduin is very happy on the surface but secretly.
As if amused by Greg's expression, Presto chuckled softly, no one knowing the smugness in her heart. Anduin, no matter how clever he was, was only a child after all, and the Countess, who knew the hearts of the people, could easily win his favor.
Greg was in a fit of rage, when Ewell and Pasonia, led by the chief of the palace guard, walked in, and the two MI7 chiefs stood aside after greeting Anduin and Duke Berval, and treated Presto and Greg as transparent. Their attitude made Greg angry for a while.
The arrival of Ewell and Pasonia made the atmosphere in the arena subtle, and the scene fell into a temporary silence.
MI7 is a presence that has nothing to do in the Three Treasures, and the fact that Ewell and Pasonia came to the palace at the same time shows that they attach great importance to something, and it is just today that a major event has taken place in the kingdom - the prison riot. The purpose of the two MI7 chiefs coming to the palace is self-explanatory.
Bolval was the first to break the silence, and the Grand Duke of the Kingdom asked Ivier, "That young man named Leo is a member of your MI7, Avere, what do you have to say about this?" ”
Aiwell bowed and bowed to the Grand Duke before replying: "Leo is a nice young man, why don't the Grand Duke and His Majesty the King wait for him to come and ask him face to face?" ”
Hearing Ivier's words, Greg snorted with disdain, and his face was contemptuous: "What qualifications does a pariah have to enter the palace?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from outside: "Who do the untouchables say?" ”
As soon as Greg heard this voice, he knew that it was Leo, who had clashed with him, how could he, as an earl, tolerate a powerless commoner talking to him in such a tone.
"The untouchables say ......"
Greg with an angry face suddenly realized that something was wrong in the middle of speaking, and he hurriedly shut up.
Leo, who was following Scarlett and led into the place by the chief of the palace guard, looked at Greg with a mocking face.
"You're not too stupid."
