Chapter 324 This Arrogant Murderer
After all, Master Miriel was also a veteran fourth-rank great magician in Glory City, so he wouldn't have been so terrible.
After all, he is one level higher than Ryan. If they really fight head-on, I can't say that he will definitely beat Ryan, but at least he won't be defeated in the first encounter.
But at such a close distance, the fighter Ryan didn't give him time to hold up his magic shield and killed him instantly.
What no one expected was that Ryan, the lord of "Black Dragon City", would take action in the parliament hall of the Omar Palace, a place where no one dared to use force.
A sneak attack and killing, all in one go.
Moreover, it is puzzling what exactly Ryan's motive is.
Before he attacked, there was no sign of rampage. There was no verbal conflict, no old grudges, or even no acquaintance...
He clearly gave you all his heirlooms, and it would have been fine if you didn't appreciate it, but you actually strangled him/her neck?
What is going on?
…
The sudden change made the Second Prince Karen's expression freeze.
The friendly smile he had just shown suddenly turned into shock and astonishment, "You..."
After a moment of shock, he saw Miriel's body hanging in the air and then he realized what had happened. He shouted, "You stupid guy, what on earth did you do!"
The angry roar resounded throughout the entire parliament hall, and you could hear a pin drop.
In the thousand years since the establishment of the Omar Empire, no one dared to use force and kill people in the parliament hall.
The moment after Ryan killed Master Mirel, the friction sounds of armor rang out. In a blink of an eye, several fifth-level priests led by the imperial guards in heavy armor rushed into the parliament hall and surrounded everyone.
The nobles and ministers were also shocked beyond words when they saw the bloody incident happening before their eyes.
So the legend that "Black Dragon City" is a barbarian land is really true? Otherwise, how could there be such an ignorant city lord?
A flash later, their next thought was... Could it be that Ymir wanted to seize the throne by force?
That's impossible.
Even if Spurgeon XV passed the throne to her, she would not be able to sit firmly on the throne without the support of the old nobles.
In everyone's eyes, Ryan's act of killing was extremely stupid.
Although the 800 mechanical legions of Black Dragon City broke through the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences yesterday, their combat power was quite impressive.
But the academy is the academy, and this is the Omar Palace!
There are various magical restrictions in the palace that have been set up for a thousand years, as well as various court offerings. With the "Ten Legends" all present, anyone who tries to force their way in will surely die.
On the other hand, the Second Prince's confidant was killed, but the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince, who were rivals for the throne, showed joy on their faces.
Before, when they saw Karen going up to greet and give gifts, they knew that it was a means of winning over.
Although they also knew that Ryan, the Lord of Black Dragon City, would definitely not waver in his position for a little profit.
But unexpectedly, Karen took out a treasure that could help people understand the meaning of boxing, and wanted to make friends with Ryan.
They were a little worried at first.
After all, they were already very familiar with the intelligence of [Black Water Platform] and knew that Ryan was an ascetic monk obsessed with spiritual practice.
That gift is a fatal temptation to any extraordinary person who is stuck at the threshold of the fourth level of extraordinary.
If Ryan accepted the gift, he would definitely owe him a favor.
If Black Dragon City really supports Karen at this critical juncture, it will be very disadvantageous to their situation .
But... I didn't expect the reversal to come so quickly!
The feeling of worry hadn't yet fully developed in my mind when I suddenly saw that man killing someone!
What is going on?
…
If Ryan kills someone in the palace, no matter what the reason, the palace guards will definitely capture him first.
All those who appeared in the parliament hall today were high-ranking nobles. No matter who killed whom, it was a big deal.
Of course, this is a weekday.
There are several factions in the parliament hall now, and they are not united.
Except for the Second Prince's direct followers, the other factions are all happy to see Black Dragon City and Karen fall out.
Killing Master Miriel is an irreconcilable feud!
Seeing the guards about to arrest someone, the fourth prince Mueller suddenly stood up and shouted, "Wait! I think Mr. Ryan may have his reasons for doing this. Let's listen..."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Muller will not give up the opportunity to suppress the second prince and win over Black Dragon City.
After a pause, he found an excuse for Ryan: "Perhaps someone wanted to murder Mr. Ryan first, and he was just defending himself."
After hearing this, the eighth prince Eberl also stood up and said, "That's right! I also think there might be some misunderstanding in this matter."
The opportunity to win over Black Dragon City cannot be monopolized by my fourth brother alone.
There is not much family affection in the fight for the throne. Others don't dare to offend the second prince Karen, but these two dare.
Besides, whether Ryan killed Miriel out of arrogance or for other reasons, it would be beneficial to them.
After all, there are two people who spoke and there is a chance. Maybe one of them will be a prince today and an emperor tomorrow.
The commander of the imperial guards also looked troubled. He thought for a moment, but did not arrest anyone. Instead, he signaled his subordinates to report the matter to the emperor in the bedroom.
After all, that Majesty is not dead now.
…
Just as Ryan suddenly attacked and killed people, in the emperor's bedroom.
Spurgeon XV looked ruddy, like a healthy old man.
He had never felt so good in more than a year.
But he also knew that this was a last hurrah.
This was the last day of his life.
The palace maid was dressing him in the gorgeous imperial robes and the crown inlaid with various gemstones. This was the crown that had been passed down for a thousand years in their Spurgeon family, and it represented glory, power, and family heritage...
Not far away, Queen Tess collapsed to the ground.
The Queen, who was known as one of the "two beauties of the Oma Empire" because of her beauty, was crying bitterly at the moment, looking very unwilling...
In front of her, a strange guard with an indifferent expression was holding a glass of poisoned wine, waiting for her to drink it.
The old emperor looked at himself in the mirror and put on makeup meticulously. He wanted to make the last appearance he had in this world the best it could be.
Queen Tess looked at the old emperor, who was making his final struggle, and asked sadly, "Doppler, are you really so cruel to kill me? I love you so much..."
The old emperor glanced at her and sighed: "Tess, although you have done many willful things. But you are the queen after all. It is a good thing for the royal family and your family's reputation to die in such a dignified way."
Tess roared, "Why?! Just because I proposed that Karen inherit the throne?"
"If I don't agree, aren't you planning to have the maid poison me and then forge an imperial edict?"
The old emperor calmly told her plan.
Tess's expression suddenly changed, "You..."
She had played her own good cards badly and now she was no longer qualified to fight for power.
The Lopez family behind her and those old families that are grouped together must make a choice if they want to continue their former wealth.
Therefore, they chose to give up many rights and support the Fourth Prince.
This time she came to the palace, as the old emperor said, she would either persuade him to recognize Muller's right of succession, or poison him and order a false edict.
This is a token of allegiance.
But Tess never expected that her plan would be seen through.
"You were the one who poisoned me and reduced my lifespan, right?"
The old emperor's tone was very calm, and it was obvious that he didn't take this matter as a big deal.
At the end of life, there is no point in pursuing things.
He added: "We are husband and wife, and I don't want to kill you. I just want to preserve the last bit of dignity of the royal family."
Tess vaguely guessed something and said, "Doppler, what... do you mean?"
The old emperor said calmly: "Do you remember Metternich?"
Tess thought he knew about their affair, and her expression changed slightly.
"He's not dead."
The old emperor glanced at Tess and said calmly, "He is my son."
"What!"
After hearing this, Tess finally understood something and her eyes widened.
At the same time, she felt it was ridiculous.
That guy... is Doppler's illegitimate son? !
"Back in the 'Philippine Territory'..."
The old emperor briefly mentioned a few things that happened in the past, and Tess immediately remembered them.
"He came back for revenge."
He then said calmly, "You had sex with her, you poisoned me, you colluded with Prince Sid William to murder Ymir, you colluded with Dean Fino of the Royal Academy to kill civilian girls in order to maintain your appearance and extract evidence of 'youth factor'... etc., all of these are in his hands..."
After hearing this, Queen Tess finally understood that the old emperor knew everything.
Metternich had been her confidant and her lover.
He knew almost all of his conspiracy plans.
I thought that guy was dead and all the secrets were buried in the dust.
Unexpectedly, he is still alive.
“Hehehe…”
Hearing this, Tess suddenly laughed at herself and gave up struggling.
She also showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
As the "suspect" of the murder of the eldest prince Quentin, Metternich was sent back to the imperial capital.
The crime of murdering a prince was punishable by death.
There is only one person who can keep him alive, and that is Doppler.
"So... Tess, only if you die can the royal family's reputation be saved."
Doppler did not kill Metternich, but let him go, knowing that if Tess survived, the scandal would surely spread throughout Omagh.
He sighed, his eyes full of complexity as he said, "That kid wanted me to kill you myself... This is his way of revenge."
Rape his wife and then force him to kill her.
Just like how they treated his mother back then.
Tess looked at the aged Spurgreen XV and realized that the situation was hopeless.
She was also a decisive person. She picked up the poisoned wine in front of her and said with a sad smile, "Doppler, I'm leaving first."
Then, he raised his head and drank the poisoned wine in one gulp.
Hearing this, Doppler finally couldn't help but look back at the woman who had been with him all his life.
After a short while, the beautiful queen slowly fell on the ground, as if she was asleep, without any pain.
All my thoughts turned into a long sigh.
"Why……"
…
The old emperor was not resting in bed , which delayed the morning court session.
Originally, he planned to deal with the Queen's affairs before going out to announce the right of succession to the throne.
Although he only had one day left to live, the old emperor was not soft-hearted. Even though the other two contenders for power were also his sons, he was still planning to clear the way for his second son, Karen. Just like he had done with Ymir, he divided them into separate fiefdoms in the wilderness outside of Omar.
Unexpectedly, the guards brought an urgent report that Ryan had killed Master Mirel.
When the old emperor hurried to the parliament hall, it was already in chaos.
Although there were palace guards holding them back, a fight was about to break out.
"Aunt, are you really going to protect this murderer?"
"Master Miriel was a marquis personally appointed by my father. Whoever killed him must pay the price according to the imperial law!"
“…”
When Miriel died, the Second Prince's clan was outraged and wanted to catch the murderer, Ryan.
Although Ymir didn't say anything, she always stood in front of Ryan.
Her right hand resting on the sword at her waist showed her clear attitude.
No matter the reason, she is determined to protect it!
And with the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince taking sides, the matter didn't become a big deal.
When the old emperor arrived, he happened to see this tense scene.
"What's going on?!"
Pope Spurgeon XV looked at the body of the white-robed missionary on the ground, frowned, and felt inexplicably heartbroken.
Because of this great wizard, he was able to spend the last days of his life in a clear mind.
The second prince Karen responded excitedly: "Father, that Ryan killed Master Miriel for no reason!"
Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Spurgeon XV's face.
One is his sister's lover, and the other is a great wizard who has done him a great favor.
Now that one of them is dead and the other one has become the murderer, he feels the situation is very difficult to handle.
He frowned and asked, "Mr. Ryan, what's going on?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Ryan, waiting for his explanation.
Until now, no one has figured out why Ryan would suddenly kill someone he had never had any contact with.
…
"Because... this Master Miriel just tried to murder me!"
It was only after the old emperor came that Ryan spoke.
When you kill someone, you naturally don't want to give the guy any chance to fight back.
This guy is a believer in the evil god. God knows what hidden cards he has that are beyond human cognition.
After all, Metternich's divination of "death" was no joke. It was better to strike first, no matter whether this guy was the "death" or not, kill him first.
Moreover, although killing someone in front of everyone was a sudden incident, it was also premeditated.
All those present were great nobles of the Omar Empire. These one or two hundred people were the top dignitaries who controlled the entire Omar.
If one wants to expose the conspiracy of the Glorious City and stop the belief in the evil god, the only way is to let these guys know the interests involved in the matter.
It is almost impossible to get these guys together on normal days, so now is the perfect opportunity.
As soon as Ryan said this, Karen immediately scolded him: "You are lying! Master Miriel gave you the heirloom out of kindness, hoping to make peace...but you turned evil into evil and attacked and killed people!"
Ryan looked at the gift as "evidence" and explained calmly: "It is because of this thing that I will kill him."
I hadn't thought of a suitable excuse to stir up trouble, but I didn't expect that guy to send me such a [Philosopher's Stone].
He didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Everyone, you should have heard that there is now a 'Three-Eyed Evil God' in Glory City?"
Hearing this, the great nobles in the parliament hall looked at each other in confusion.
Didn’t I ask you why you killed people? Why are you suddenly mentioning the issue of faith?
Gods other than the "Seventy-two Generals" are called "evil gods", and there is nothing wrong with this.
But the gods existed too long ago, and many people don't really care about the issue of faith. In the eyes of these people, there is no difference between gods.
In their view, that is people's freedom.
Before anyone could ask, Ryan continued, "As you all know, the belief in the Three-Eyed Evil God swept across the entire Glory City in a short period of time. But do you know why so many people suddenly believed in an evil god of unknown origin? Because they have mastered a spiritual method that can quietly change people's cognition!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, there was an immediate burst of whispering in the council hall.
Although the noble gentlemen present were not at a high level of transcendence, their vision was among the highest among the small group of people at that time.
Just because they are not good at supernatural powers doesn't mean they don't know about it.
There are many ways to change people's cognition in "Spiritual Supernatural".
It's not that the faith problem in Glory City has not attracted people's attention. The speed of its spread, like a plague, is indeed incredible. It's just that they can't find any evidence to doubt it.
The people sent out to investigate always reported back that there was no problem.
Now that Ryan said this, they naturally fell into deep thought.
If it is true as Ryan said, that the guys in Glory City used some shady means to change people's cognition and spread their beliefs, then this is a serious matter.
Someone asked, "Mr. Ryan, do you have any evidence to support your statement?"
Before Ryan could speak, the second prince Karen, like a cat whose tail was guessed, immediately shouted angrily: "Don't try to quibble! Everything you said is just an excuse for you to kill someone!"
"Hehe, excuse?"
Ryan smiled, looked coldly at the excited Second Prince Karen, and said faintly: "Second Prince, I want to say that some of your cognition has been secretly tampered with by Master Miriel. Do you believe it?"
