Chapter 329: The Hidden Conspiracy (I)
"What?Legendary Paladin?"
Krylov III looked up in surprise, "What did you say? A legendary paladin came near our camp and asked to see me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty......" The herald standing in front of Krylov III also had a little surprise in his eyes, "The legendary paladin named 'Grush' belongs to the 'Church of Justice', and the legend that was achieved only a few months ago is said to be ......"
The herald hesitated, for he did not know whether to talk to Krylov III about those things.
"What is it said?" asked Krylov III, frowning, "is it related to us? Is he a 'legend' related to the nobility of the kingdom, or is it related to this war?"
Krylov III was quick thinker, and at once he thought of these two possibilities.
After all, the legendary paladin named 'Grush' belongs to the 'God of Justice', and if he can become a 'legend', then it must have something to do with 'justice', so he thinks of 'Kingdom Nobles' and 'War'.
Although the legendary paladin may not necessarily become a 'legend' in the kingdom, judging from the herald's hesitant appearance, this possibility is probably very small.
“...... Yes, in relation to the nobility of the kingdom. ”
After a moment of silence, the herald grimaced and explained, "That legendary paladin is a 'legend' achieved in the kingdom, and it is said that at that time, it also alarmed His Majesty Karl and triggered a 'divine descent'. Moreover, the legendary paladin was favored by Karl's crown, and he gave him an 'artifact'......"
"Wait!"
Krylov III interrupted the herald's words, frowned deeply, and asked in a deep voice: "Why don't I know about this matter? With such a big move, the information should be put on my desk as soon as possible, why didn't I know about it until now......?"
The herald suddenly looked up, and a gleam of hope appeared in his eyes, which he had thought would not escape the prison sentence.
"But—"
Krylov III took a deep breath, stood up slowly, looked directly at his herald with indifferent eyes, and said in a cold voice: "You deceived me, even if you can give me an explanation, I will remove you from your position, because I don't need a herald who makes up his own mind!"
The attendant handed him Krylov III's coat, glanced at the lost herald, and followed Krylov III out with eager steps.
"Lord Hildo, please go out with us!"
The two guards who had been reminded by the attendant walked in, and one of the guards with a slight upturned mouth teased the herald and said, "You are no longer Your Majesty's herald, so we can't let you stay here anymore, do you want to go out by yourself, or do we ask you to go out?"
The herald gritted his teeth, glared at the two guards, and let out a low roar in his throat: "I'll go by myself!"
Krylov III's face was grim, and it was not pleasant to be betrayed, not to mention that the person who betrayed him was still his herald.
If it weren't for the arrival of this legendary paladin, he might not have been able to find out that his intelligence channels had been controlled.
Not only ordinary intelligence channels, but even secret intelligence channels may have been controlled, and if it weren't for such an incident, he might still know nothing about it.
There's a good chance it's that 'demon'!
Because except for the demon, almost no one dares to touch his intelligence channel, this is not just his intelligence channel, but the intelligence channel of the entire royal family, if it is a nobleman, they obviously will not do such a stupid thing, if they really do that, they also understand that this kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later, even if they want to control him and make him their puppet, they will not choose this method.
The unspoken rules of the aristocracy were not easily broken, and Krylov III believed that the waste did not have such courage.
'Legendary Paladin......
The coldness on Krylov III's face quietly melted into a gentle smile.
If nothing else, Rykan must be by his side now, the demon has disappeared, otherwise with the ability of a 'legendary paladin', he will definitely be able to see through 'it' disguise.
Krylov III walked out of the barracks with his attendants and a team of guards, he was not worried at all that anyone could kill him here, he believed that he had not done anything evil, and the legendary paladins of the 'God of Justice' would never be so unreasonable, not to mention, there were several strong men in the barracks behind him who had been watching him, he was not worried at all.
As soon as he walked out of the barracks, the towering and silent figure like a mountain appeared in Krylov III's sight, and he immediately noticed the 'legendary paladin'.
The legendary paladin looked weathered and unkempt, and the suit of armor on his body was supposed to be 'full-body armor', but now Krylov III saw only a cuirass and left arm guard, and the scratches on it were heart-wrenching.
Unlike paladins, who focus on strength as well as appearance, paladins have always focused only on their own strength, because only strong strength can deal with more powerful evils.
Because paladins were a bunch of madmen and a king himself, Krylov III never confronted any paladins, and although he had heard of them being 'informal', as a priest, such an image was really ......
Krylov III did not frown, he was already able to express his mood without showing his anger, even if he hated a person to the core, he would never express his emotions on his face - as long as he did not want to!
The focus of his gaze was a little longer, and Krylov III had already seen the paladin's weapons and bags.
The long sword was stuck in the scabbard, and it was impossible to see what it looked like, but the paladin only used a rag, picked it up and carried it to his side, and the rag didn't look too big, and it didn't contain much of anything, but there was nothing else, did he have a magic prop on him?
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Grush?"
From a distance of five or six meters, Krylov III asked the paladin that he had no intention of inviting him into the barracks.
Krylov III dared to promise that he had not done anything evil, but he did not dare to guarantee that the people in the barracks had not done it, especially the nobles who were protected in the middle of the barracks!
The bearded Grush opened his eyes and looked at Krylov III with indifferent eyes.
He looked at the king in front of him with a gentle smile on his face, and he could make people feel good at a glance, and bowed slightly, "Yes, I am Grush." ”
Krylov III was keenly aware that when the legendary paladin spoke, his voice was hoarse, if I had to describe it, it was probably the voice after 'I hadn't drunk for a long time, and I screamed many times'.
Krylov III had never met such a person, and he did not know if his description was correct, but it was certain that the paladin might not be in a good situation.
Just as he pondered whether to hand the paladin a bottle of wine, Grush said hoarsely, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be His Majesty Krylov III." ”
After a pause, Grush glanced at the guards surrounding Krylov III, and said: "In that case, then I will make a long story short, maybe Your Majesty, you already know, on the way I came, there was a village that was destroyed, and when the village was burned, I saw it, but unfortunately, I did not see any trace of the murderer......"
Hearing this, Krylov III frowned, just now he was still a little happy in his heart, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
"When I arrived in that village, I only saw a pool of blood at the entrance of the village, and no bodies were found in the village. "Then I went crazy and searched around there, but found no sign of what might be a murderer, and when I returned to that village again, I found traces of an army, which may have been left by your majesty's army......"
"Yes, that's my reinforcements. The corners of Krylov III's mouth curled down, and his face looked grim, "And then, Mr. Grush, what do you want to say?"
"The village was littered with ashes, and by a coincidence, I found some bones – some bones that hadn't burned out!"
Grush pulled out a few charred pieces that looked like small stones from his rag strap.
When Krylov III's attention was attracted by these bones, Grush gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you are a mage, and you have many mages under your command, and these bones can prove that there is a team of 'devils' lurking in your country - if you don't believe it, you can ask those mages who have studied the knowledge of 'devils'......"
"Presumably, they will be able to give the same answer as me!"
