I'm a villain, not a devil

The light in the heart of the tree flashed by, but it took a while for almost everyone to return to normal.

It seemed that the light at that moment made them feel strong discomfort.

"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf... You really spent a lot of money..." Sean murmured.

Sean, who had absorbed two and a half tree hearts, was very sure that the emperor's reward for Bai Zhan was a genuine tree heart.

However, the previous tree heart suddenly appeared because he escaped from the Black Pigeon Prison.

Based on the clues Sean received later and his own personal experience, he concluded that this was the instinctive reaction of the recovering World Tree.

The heart of the tree is not a gift, but more like some kind of defense mechanism of the World Tree - because the previous heart of the tree was obviously directed at the Black Pigeon Prison, and the Black Pigeon Prison has also confirmed that it is the body of the evil god. .

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually had one in his hand... He even gave it to Bai Zhan as a reward.

As for whether the emperor knew what this was, Sean didn't think there was a second answer.

It is impossible for the leader of a country not to know this... Nowadays, many secrets and anomalies in the empire are actually caused by the emperor.

However, the tree heart that was cut in half, and even half of it had a lot of power absorbed, helped Sean almost reach the upper level of the crimson layer, and even helped him purify the pollution and proliferation accumulated in the crimson layer, and also allowed him to You won’t suffer from pollution for the time being…

No matter what, tree heart is the most precious item for the strong.

Even though he is his own son, Sean feels that the emperor is a bit too extravagant...

Moreover, since the emperor is ill, perhaps the magical power of tree heart can be brought into full play...

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.

In addition to these, there is the most critical point.

The heart of a tree can remove pollution, so why not give it a life in vain?

Sean had always thought that Bai Youming belonged to the Deep Blue class, but as more secrets were revealed before his eyes, Sean also realized that Bai Youming might not have truly entered the Deep Blue class yet.

It is very possible that Bai Youming is just one step away.

And the heart of the tree, which can purify pollution, can obviously help Bai Youming a lot... There is no reason not to help a prince who has no heirs and devotes himself to the empire...

Because if Bai Youming wants to usurp the throne, he has too many opportunities.

But now, the emperor gave the heart of the tree to Bai Zhan...still in full view of everyone.

And among so many pairs of eyes, there are only a few people who can recognize Shu Xin...

This is for me - Sean knows that.

That's why he lamented that in order to deal with him, these people really spent a lot of money...

"Pile up resources, take advantage of my ego and greed... conspiracy, but not very smart..." Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, "Bai Zhan, if I'm not wrong, you may have to order someone to send things to you. The residence, of course, was the one where Sherrill was being held."

Sean watched Bai Zhan walk down the stairs and disappear into the crowd.

He sneered: "Bai Ye has become a tool man again..."

Sure enough, before two minutes had passed, the shadow appeared on the roof.

"Her Highness the Princess asked me to give you something." A note was handed over.

Sean unfolded it, and a few lines of scrawled words came into view.

"Bai Zhan ordered someone to return the treasure he had just obtained to his residence. The direction his subordinates were walking should be the residence where Sherrill was imprisoned - however, it was a little strange. He seemed cautious, but there was no barrier in front of me."

Sean rubbed it and the note turned into ashes.

It's exactly the same as I guessed...

It was indeed a conspiracy, or a conspiracy that put everything before my eyes.

At the same time, this also shows one thing. The team under Jehovah that analyzes its own behavior and thinking patterns does have something, and its investigation of itself is in-depth enough.

"Tsk, it still doesn't feel good to be remembered all the time..." Sean bared his teeth.

However, his arrogance never disappeared, and the contempt in his eyes only grew stronger.

"Conspiracy... It seems like they are inviting conceited enemies to fight, but in fact they have secretly laid traps... It's a pity that they are all single-threaded idiots."

Sean turned his attention to the steps again, where the emperor still stood there accepting the cheers of the people.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"People who only focus on one goal are always like this...the more they think, the more they miss...or is it that an old thing that has been ailing for more than ten years is no longer worthy of attention?"

There was even a hint of excitement in Sean's eyes.

"Emperor, Emperor, are you going to start taking action for real..."

…

The dinner on the Military Day began, and the imperial capital, which was as bright as daylight, was extremely lively. The residents and soldiers were enjoying delicious food. Although it was not comparable to the luxurious dinners of dignitaries, it was enough.

The emperor left after his speech and rewards. The senior officials and nobles relaxed a lot and started to exchange cups and cups.

Grand Marshal Wu Xiao, who was sitting at the first table, didn't have a good expression. Although he usually had this cold look, many people knew this time that he was probably not very happy.

The more than 10,000 wounded who disappeared have not yet been found.

At this time, don't get into trouble with the Generalissimo.

In addition, after all, there is still war on the front line, and military personnel often receive various military affairs before they sit down and drink two glasses of wine. Some people go out in a hurry to deal with them, while others find their colleagues to discuss something in low voices.

Even the eldest prince, who was supposed to be the center of attention at the dinner, left the scene after receiving a certain message.

No one would blame him for leaving, because His Majesty's attitude today is obvious - the throne of this empire will probably still be handed over to the eldest prince Bai Zhan.

When they think of this, dignitaries will subconsciously observe other princes and princesses.

However, the second prince Bai Wen didn't seem to care about anything. He was already a little drunk at this moment.

The fourth prince, Bai Si, still kept his appearance of not being approached by strangers, and only occasionally spoke a few words to Cardinal Calado of the Golden Dawn, who came with him.

Bai Ye, who had the least chance of inheriting the throne, also maintained his usual attitude, neither cold nor hot, and couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Perhaps because they drank too much, several familiar nobles sat together and discussed His Highness in a low voice.

"Since the last big quarrel with His Majesty, His Royal Highness hasn't appeared for a long time, right? The front line is busy, and today is the Military Day, and he hasn't come back yet?"

Someone sneered at his companion: "Frontline? Don't forget, His Highness the Prince is not posted in the military. Theoretically, he can be a leisurely prince and not care about anything. And, to be honest, it's okay not to come back. Otherwise, given His Royal Highness’s temperament, he would probably be reprimanded for holding a military celebration so grandly.”

"That's true... However, while His Highness the Prince is not around, His Majesty suddenly did this today... Isn't it already decided?"

His companion motioned for him to lower his voice further: "It looks like it's settled... His Highness the Prince is not here. I'm afraid His Majesty chose this time."

"That's true... I didn't expect that His Majesty would personally come to kill him first and then tell him... I'm afraid, His Majesty is also afraid of His Highness the Prince."

"Keep your voice down! There are a lot of people from the military around us! If this is heard, we will all be in trouble!"

"What are you afraid of? His Highness the Prince hasn't come back yet... However, His Highness the Prince can be regarded as one person below ten thousand people... Even if he has no heirs, Your Majesty will still be afraid..."

"Who says not? The late Crown Prince... To be honest, I suspect that he is the illegitimate son of His Royal Highness. However, in order to avoid the sensitive issue of identity, he said that he has a godson - have you noticed? , that is, after His Royal Highness the Prince recognized his godson, His Majesty, who was still unclear at first, began to confirm the successor. "

"But isn't His Royal Highness dead?"

"It's not a conflict. Anyway, His Majesty probably doesn't trust His Highness that much..."

"Okay, okay, let's just chat for a while after drinking too much. What, you are still planning to go deeper? I would say, why not think about bringing something to visit His Highness the First Prince tomorrow."

…

"Commander, will our guests definitely come to visit tonight?" Bai Zhan had no expression on his face, just observing the hooded man in black beside him with his peripheral vision.

Jehovah handed over his hand: "Your Highness offered this kind of treasure. With Sean's greed and arrogance, he couldn't help it - he may have figured out many things, but in the end... he is still an arrogant person."

Bai Zhan remained silent, but sneered in his heart.

The so-called conspiracy means that all the resources are provided by oneself... Mr. Military Advisor is quite frugal.

The cold light in his eyes flashed, today, let me make a big news.

Military Advisor, your hatred for Sean is almost overflowing. I hope you can continue to fight like this after we go to hell together.

Jehovah on the side seemed expressionless, but in fact he was already scolding in his heart.

This stupid prince still doesn't trust me... Sure enough, not revealing all the real plan is the right choice.

Disgust flashed through his eyes, and Jehovah straightened his clothes.

Today, it depends on who is the prey and who is the hunter.

Just when the two were having their own thoughts, suddenly, a bodyguard who was fighting for nothing ran over quickly.

"Report to Your Highness, there is something strange happening with Sherrill!"

Jehovah's eyes lit up, and sure enough, Sean was still here.

His brother, the body of the evil god that he desperately wanted to understand, the heart of the tree that was worth inestimable... With Sean's character, how could he possibly endure it.

Jehovah immediately turned to look at Bai Zhan: "Your Highness, start it directly! Don't pursue and trap him directly, just arouse his competitive spirit."

Bai Zhan glanced at him and immediately waved his hand: "Open the device directly and let the good guys rush in!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

In the prison at this moment, Sherrill, who had been lying on his side on the cold stone slab, stood up for the first time.

He was so tall that he almost touched the ceiling of the prison.

A buzzing sound resounded throughout the cell, and for a moment, even Sherrill felt as if he was trapped in a place from which he could not escape.

However, Sherrill didn't have much energy to think about other things at the moment.

He felt that the blood all over his body had turned into lava, and every muscle seemed to have become a living body, trying to break free from the skeleton of his master.

"Brother, I don't care anymore, I'm going to advance."

Sherrill muttered something to himself, and then took out the jar of blood from his [pocket].

He has been keeping the concentrated blood of the bear-shaped crimson mad beast for nearly a year after his eldest brother gave it to him.

As soon as he took it out, Cheryl felt that something in the outside world seemed to be attracting him.

At this moment, Bai Zhan and Jehovah, who were watching in the monitoring room, stood up.

Cheryl made a move, and didn't know where Sean was hiding... But the restraint net had been opened, and now, not even a fly could fly out of this area.

I don't know if it was the last tacit understanding, Bai Zhan and Jehovah looked at each other.

"Your Highness, shall we go and have a look?"

"Okay."

In the cell, Cheryl's huge body began to tremble.

"Bang!"

The door of the prison was kicked open fiercely.

The person who rushed to the front was Losario, who was Bai Zhan's confidant and Cheryl's biggest enemy at present.

It was because of Cheryl that he messed up the task assigned to him by His Highness.

Thinking of this, he took a few steps together and came to Cheryl's prison.

"Cheryl, didn't expect it? His Highness has long seen through the conspiracy of you and your elder brother!"

While speaking, Lothario looked around vigilantly.

Sean is the most sinister, nasty and despicable person in the world, so be careful!

Touching the awakening device on his waist, Lothario's eyes sank, and he looked at Cheryl fiercely: "Did you hear what I said?! Go back and kneel down, maybe I can help you save your life."

But Cheryl just turned his back to him, trembling without saying a word.

And the other Crimson jumped out of the ground like a fish in the waves.

"No one was found..."

Lothario frowned slightly, and then walked out of the cell and prepared to go back to report-although he hated Cheryl, the last lesson taught Lothario to follow orders and distinguish the order.

However, before he took two steps, Lothario saw that the prince and the military advisor came over together.

After reporting the situation, Bai Zhan didn't say anything, and Jehovah lowered his eyes.

"Go kill Cheryl. I don't believe he will show up. Your Highness, please take out the things."

Jehovah nodded seemingly normally and threw the box containing the tree core directly into a well next to him.

At this time, Lothario had already pulled out his double blades.

"Cheryl, it's time for you to get going."

He swung the double blades and felt the blood in his body boiling.

Killing a king doesn't require such excitement, but killing the object of your hatred does not require any hesitation.

After waiting for a while, Lothario didn't stop at all. The double blades slid forward and were about to cut off both of Cheryl's arms with one knife!

Then, something strange happened!
