The Dean Has Arrived

Xi Wei took out the letter paper, and after a few glances, he understood the contents of the letter by heart. ↑

This is a typical king's parliamentary letter, full of flashy and empty ancient aristocratic expressions.

"This letter is addressed to the previous king."

Since the recipients only wrote "The King of Lu Zhanting", they didn't know who the letter was sent to at first.

"What about the content?" Barris asked impatiently.

"It's a letter asking King Luzhanting to put pressure on the mage towers in the territory and make them bow their heads and make concessions to the king's council." Xi Wei raised his head with a subtle expression on his face.

This time, the small actions of the King's Council are almost like getting all the stolen goods.

"As far as I know, the king of Lu Zhanting did not oppress the domestic mage tower."

Nero recalled some information about this country that he had read before coming to Lu Zhanting, but there was no information related to this matter - the fact that the supreme ruler of a country does not agree with the Mage Tower is considered big news no matter how you look at it , if it really happened, it will definitely be included in the matters that need attention.

"That's why he was 'removed'."

Sanelia sarcastically smiled without a smile on her face.

"So, because my uncle took a neutral attitude during the coup, the Mage Tower did not break with the Mage Tower after succeeding to the throne... Could it be that because of this, he was also purged?"

Barris asked angrily.

"That might be true," Shanelia sneered, fearing that the world would be chaotic, "Even if you are the king of the principality, in the eyes of the high-ranking fellows in the king's council, you are no different from commoners."

Xi Wei glanced at the ashen-faced Barris and shook his head: "No, to be honest, it's unlikely."

Bai Ruisi's complexion just slightly improved. Looking at Xi Wei with some hope in his eyes: "Well... what do you mean, Mr. Edrick?"

"The king's council is not omnipotent, and their resources in Lu Zhanting are also limited. It is already the limit to support your uncle in a coup d'etat. It is impossible to take similar actions twice in a row." Xi Wei shook the letter paper and analyzed. : "Otherwise, they wouldn't send a letter asking your father to do this kind of thing, just mobilize their influence in Lu Zhanting to do the same thing. Besides, even if they can do this... after your uncle died After that. Who are they planning to succeed? You."

When Xi Wei said this, Nero and the others suddenly came to their senses - Speaking of which, Lu Zhanting's current orthodox royal blood is only Barris, except for the underage daughter of the king who was just killed.

"It's really not right to say that." Nero rubbed his nose and thought for a long time, but felt that he still had no idea, so he said a little discouraged: "Oh, this kind of thing is really not suitable for me... To be honest, I would rather go with you." A bunch of wasteland ogre duels don't want to get involved in this kind of nonsense."

Hearing his self-defeating words, Shanelia giggled, the sharp laughter made people feel chills from the bottom of her heart...

"Stop thinking about it as meaningless. Let's go directly to where 'that king' is and let him tell us what's going on."

Xi Wei pondered for a while, his eyes stayed on a huge oil painting in front of him for a moment, and then he spoke.

Bai Ruisi immediately walked out of the room first, and Xi Wei and his party followed unhurriedly.

Naturally, I ran into patrolling guards on the road, but all the guards in the castle knew Barris. After asking that the king was indeed in the study, Barris headed towards his destination.

In addition, the guards he met along the way also let him stop by his side.

This is not only to build momentum for himself, but also to prevent someone from reporting to the fake king.

It can be seen from here. Bai Ruisi's reputation in the castle is still very good, and almost all the guards agree with him. He obediently followed behind the group of people.

Although the castle is huge, the distance between the bedroom and the study is not far. It didn't take long for the group of people to come to the double mahogany door of the study.

Barris walked to the door, looked back at Xi Wei and his party, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door: "Uncle, it's Barris. I need to talk to you about something."

But there was no response.

Just when Barris was about to repeat it, Xi Wei stopped him.

"Don't knock on the door, let the guards break the door open."

"What?! But..."

Barris was very surprised, but seeing that the expression on Xi Wei's face was not a joke, he gave an order to the group of guards behind him.

At first the guards also looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't dare to do anything, but after Bai Ruisi declared that he would take full responsibility, the guards still broke down the gate.

But the scene inside surprised everyone except Xi Wei.

The king lay down on the desk, already silent...

"What's going on here?!" Nero asked in surprise: "This guy is afraid of sin... cough cough, how did he die?"

Obviously what he wanted to say at the beginning was committing suicide in fear of guilt, but he changed his mind decisively after Xi Wei glanced at him indifferently.

Shanelia stepped forward to check the corpse, but was stopped by the guards.

"Let her come here, we need to know the cause of uncle's death." Barris said sharply, "Compared to those unreliable crappy doctors who can't even figure out the cause of my father's death, this one is more trustworthy!"

The guards looked at each other, and finally let Shanelia go to examine the king's body reluctantly.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head and said to Xi Wei and the others, "This is the corpse of an ordinary human being."

The guards rolled their eyes together: Isn't this nonsense.

However, because Sanelia added the accent on the word "normal human", Nero and Barris understood that this corpse was probably a trick by the bionic demon Golden Cicada to get out of its shell—although neither of them knew what the hell it was to get out of the shell of the Golden Cicada .

"Tsk, it's too fast... Or did it know about our coming here?" Nero frowned.

Barris was even more disturbed, God knows when that thing will come back.

"It's the latter, someone tipped off the news."

Xi Wei said softly.

Then he drew a guard sword from the waist of a guard beside him.

Because of the sudden movement, the other guards almost subconsciously drew their swords at Xi Wei.

But Xi Wei walked to the wall without realizing it, and then stabbed the saber in his hand into an oil painting on the wall.

The sharp and piercing screams caused severe pain to the ears of everyone in the room, and then a dark liquid, ink or blood, spewed out from the place stabbed by the sword, and the color of the oil painting itself began to fade. .

"What is that?!" Barris looked at all this in disbelief.

"Painting spirit, a kind of magical creature." Xi Wei pulled out his long sword and said calmly, "They can freely enter and exit paintings with a certain level of painting skills, and this guy is the one who reports to the other party."
