Chapter 206: Question (3)
Former Prime Minister McClandell replied, "Queen Mother Innie Randall came in and talked about King Ronnihon marriage, but then suddenly took out a dagger from her body and cut it to her throat, and I thought it was ...... sudden."
"Mistress Mack, do you still think that Queen Mother Innie Randall has suddenly gone crazy and wants to kill you?" Knight Enod continued his words.
"It's true that when people think about a problem, their attention wanders, but who would have thought that Ini Randall would suddenly end her life without a single warning......
McLandall's first reaction to such a strange thing is the work of black magic, is there really not only demagogic black magic in this world, but also black magic that can make people crazy and commit suicide?
McLandall recalls a time when dark magic was frequent......
At that time, the dark magic of Jorris's camp bewitched the people of the royal fleet......
"Yes, Mistress Mack, I also received some secret messages." The captain of the Wangcheng guard said at that time.
"Oh? Still have news? Let me guess, it's Joecles' side? McClandall blinked.
"Several ships of our royal family's royal fleet are missing."
"Missing? How so? In the Adriatic Sea, except for some licensed fishing boats, merchant ships are the royal fleet of the royal family, and all ships without permission are prohibited from sailing, and this sea area is already under the control of our royal family. "McLandall couldn't imagine how a ship could have disappeared mysteriously.
"The direction of the missing ship's patrol is the junction of Chris's territory, the Adriatic Sea is wide and vast and flows everywhere, although the waters near Dubrovnik are mainly controlled by us, there are many directions that cannot be reached, and our range is only near Dubrovnik."
"The patrol was ordered by the captain of the royal fleet?" McCrandell asked, the position of the captain of the royal fleet is the same as that of the captain of the Kingsguards, slightly lower than that of the captain of the Kingsguards, and is mainly controlled by the Otto family, and now Janis Odor has the command of this royal fleet, and the captain of the fleet is only following the orders of Janis Odor.
"I heard that it was the order of Knight Janis Odo, and their patrol and vigilance area has been expanded than before, and those ships are probably entering the territory of the Chris's family, and then disappeared."
"Did you get killed?" McLandall asked rhetorically, Jocriss and Crescent's army is being assembled, not only on land, but also in the sea, which is also one of their offensive directions, if so, the royal fleet has patrolled so far away, it is very likely that it has been killed by the enemy. ”
"I heard that there was no sound of fierce fighting in the sea, and there was no signal for support or distress, as is the case with normal patrols, but the ships never returned."
"Could it be that they have defected?" McClandell carefully analyzed the words of the captain of the royal guard, and the possibility of going missing without a battle was the most likely answer to the mutiny.
"McLandall has a point." The captain of the royal city guard nodded, "However, everything happened too bizarrely, you must know that many fleets have their homes in Dubrovnik City, and they abandoned their homes to join Jocris and Kreseen, is it necessary to take this risk?" And the fleet has the highest salary in the royal family, and they are far more valued by the royal family than those of us! ”
"That's really weird." McCrandell called the Knight of Enod in, and also talked about the matter, and then asked the Knight of Enod, "Knight Enode, you also used to be Jochris's bodyguard, do you think Jocrith has the ability and charm to recruit these fleets to rebel against the royal family?" ”
"I admit that Jocrith is very talented and capable of attracting some people to defect, but I don't think that the people of the royal fleet will give up their good treatment and home to be a betrayer, Mistress Mac, they have no such motivation to do this, no matter what they think, unless they ......"
"Unless what?" McCrandell and the captain of the Kingsguard stared curiously at the Enod Knight.
"Unless there is a kind of demagogic black magic in this world, my lord, I am just hearsay, if those people in the fleet are bewitched by the dark magic, it is very likely that such a bizarre disappearance will happen." Knight Enod said with added vinegar.
"Did you really see two of Jokris's guards working the dark arts?" McCrandell asked, he wasn't there at the time, there were many rumors about it, and the captain of the royal city guard and the Knight of Enod were at the scene of the incident at the time, and they were even a stone's throw away.
"Master McClandell, it's true!" The captain of the royal city guard recalled the scene, "There were more than a hundred of us in total, and none of them stopped Jocris and his two guards, and even Cresian was taken away by them. Knight Janis Odo was so brave that he was even beaten down by the black magic on the weapons of the two guards, if it was a dignified duel, there were only a handful of people in the entire palace who could win against Knight Janis Odo, but such a person was quickly defeated by two guards. ”
"Looking at it this way, it is indeed very suspicious, is it possible that there is just a problem with their weapon, just like Bianda's previous helmet, his helmet is said to still have black magic attached to it, so he has always protected his head from any damage, that is, a pervert like the one-armed Jolly can defeat him! Obviously, the Knights of Janis Odo are still quite far behind the one-armed Jolly. ”
The captain of the Kings Guard said, "But Master Mack, I admit that the one-armed Jolly is indeed powerful, if he was there, we might be able to stop those two guards, but Jocrith himself was amazingly strong at that time, I have no doubt that he can crush our few people, the power of his impact is powerful and terrifying, and the speed is fast in the blink of an eye, my lord, we didn't expect Jocrishi to hide such a powerful strength." ”
"I'm not surprised that Jocrith was a great knight a long time ago, and I am not surprised that he and Rollssheehan stormed the palace to overthrow the rule of the former tyrannical king and establish a new kingdom. ”
"Mike Mike, what I said may be a little biased, I don't think the kind of power that Jocrith burst out at that time can even be done by Bianda, my lord, if Jocrishi was really that strong, his reputation would have surpassed that of a monster like Bianda!" The captain of the Wangcheng guard said.
"More than Bianda?" McCrandell had heard some rumors before, but this time he heard it from the mouth of the captain of the royal guard, he had observed Jocris's every move up close, and he was a good fighter himself, and his judgment and analysis should be more accurate and credible than the others'. "In this way, if it's not Jocrith getting stronger, it's Jocrith really having dark magic that we don't know about."
"Your Excellency, very possibly! Rumors and records of alchemists have also mentioned dark magic, and they believe that black magic comes from dragons, and that our former king, Rolls Sheehan, was killed by dragons, which is enough to prove that dragons are still alive in the world, so this kind of black magic should also exist. The captain of the Wangcheng Guard said.
"An alchemist's words cannot be taken seriously." McClandell said that they seemed to refer to all the unexplainable things as black magic in general terms, and that some things were later proven to be just ordinary natural phenomena, but that could not be denied that black magic itself did not exist, and that they had indeed seen some black magic become more frequent in the world.
"Dragons are signs of the appearance of dark magic, my lord, since King Rollssheen was attacked by dragons, black magic incidents have become more and more frequent, if we can't find the answers to some questions for the time being, we might as well classify them as dark magic first." The captain of the Wangcheng guard said.
"We can think so ourselves, but don't spread this narrative and cause panic among civilians and soldiers, but give us confidence in our strong army and equipment, and use real power to dispel those unreliable rumors." McLandall said.
"Yes, my lord." The captain of the Wangcheng guard said.
Then, in the Imperial Council, McLandall proposed a solution to the dark magic of the human mind.
On that day, McCrandell convened a royal council, and this time there were several more people at the royal council, and at McClandall's request, the captain of the Kingsguard and the royal guard, Knight Janis Odo, and the new king's scholar, Stanika Sadine, attended the royal council for the first time.
"The victory of the Cassadine family this time is inseparable from the advice of Master Mack, and as a member of the Cassadine family, I now feel a great honor." Stanicasas said that he was over half a hundred years old, and he could be regarded as the old man of the Cassadine family, and he was very knowledgeable.
After these days of the Cassadine family and the Randall family of the Turner family, the Turner family is almost completely defeated, but what is even more surprising is that the Randall family is the most powerful army of the Turner family is defeated, that day the blood flowed like a river, the war horse screamed, the Randall lord did not wait for the Cassadine family's reinforcements to arrive, took the lead in attacking, left and right, and rushed to kill in sections, the Turner family was defeated in the frontal battlefield, and when the Cassadine family arrived, the remaining army of the Turner family had withdrawn from the first battlefield, After that, there was a small battle in the second and third battlefields, at which point the Turners lost all the land in their territory, and they fled with a remnant of the army in the direction of the Chris family territory to the west.
"Lord Glet's credit is not small, it was he who ventured to the Cassadine territory to negotiate various agreements, if it weren't for Lord Glet's tongue, I'm afraid Lord Cassadine would not have sent troops to help so easily." McLandall said with a smile.
Glenamsi touched his beard, looking unfazed, "I'm just doing what Master Mack wants, and what I said is a fluke that is slightly in line with Lord Cassadine's wishes." ”
"Don't be too humble, all of you." "We have lost very little in this war, and we have regained our former glory, so I believe that no one will dare to underestimate the Cassadine family again, and the Cassadine lord is very happy and promises that most of the original territory of the Turner family will go to the Randalls, and we only need a small part of it." ”
Queen Mother Innie Randall said, "In this way, the Randall family and the Cassadine family are true allies. ”
Varian O Yiqi smiled, "I'm afraid that these territories still need to be re-canonized by the king, and they will also be left for other families to drink a little soup, so that it will be more justified." ”
"Or is it Mistress Varian who is more thoughtful." "Presumably, our King and Prime Minister will leave a little sweetness to the Otto family, the Oyizi family, the Lexa family, the Namsi family, and the Temad family. ”
"We'll discuss this matter carefully later, in fact, there is another matter to invite Knight Janis Odo today." McCrandell's expression became serious again.
Knight Janis Odo said, "My lords, I don't want to disturb your interest right now, the rebel Turner family has fallen, but we have a great threat going on right now. ”
"Oh?"
McCrandell said, "A few days ago, a few ships in the royal fleet mysteriously disappeared, and a few were not enough to attract our attention, let alone be discussed at the imperial meeting, but these days, the disappearance of ships is happening more and more frequently, not only the ships of the royal fleet, but also the merchant ships and fishing boats operating in the Adriatic Sea. ”
"And such a thing?" Eni Randall asked in surprise, and she turned her head to look at Janis Otto, trying to verify something from his expression.
"It's my reluctance, as the captain of the Kingsguard, it is necessary to take steps to prevent this from happening." Knight Janis Odo said. "These days, the number of missing ships and crews in the royal fleet has reached nearly one-fifth."
"We're not here today to discuss whose responsibility it is, Lord Jennis." McLandall said, "I've investigated the cause and the end of this matter, and Master Varian should know this better than I do. ”
"We all know that two of Jocris's guards use dark magic, and they used their weapons to knock down Master Giannisotto, according to our investigation, it's not because their weapons have dark magic attached to them, but because they themselves use dark magic, and the disappearance of the ships these days has nothing to do with them, one of them can use a demagogic dark magic, my intellectors have seen it with their own eyes, a crew member who is absolutely loyal to the royal family, The next day he rebelled against the king and joined Jocris's side, all because that man used that kind of black magic! ”
