Link and Dante rushed to the imperial capital on the gryphon brought by the elf Erest from the empire, along with Archduke Kolk. After listening to Link's words of persuasion to Orlando, his misunderstanding about Link was completely resolved. Unlike the Grand Duke¡¯s transformation, the dwarf looked worried all the way. On the eve of arriving in the Imperial Capital, taking advantage of the short time to repair at night, Dante privately suggested to Link, hoping that he could change his mind about going to the Imperial Capital. Link has always had great respect for this master craftsman. "Are you afraid that the emperor will attack me? I am no longer a son of nature, and I am no threat to him or the Silver Empire." "No, that's not what I meant. He will not touch you, and will even treat you as a guest of honor and give you a favor. Official Jinjue." "Ohthat's exactly what I want." "Are you crazy?" Dante exclaimed. Although they have not known each other for a long time, the Belfast he knows is not a person who is greedy for power. "Because I still have to do something, but an ordinary person can't do it." Building Dragon Rock Castle to prevent the orcs who may have been bewitched by the frost from going north is the last task that Link must complete before returning to the future. Without Longyan Castle, the future may develop in an unpredictable direction, which may be as bad as failing to stop the undead army from moving south with all three major lords present. "You don't hesitate to put down your body to demand rights, why?" Dante frowned, always asking for a reason. As a former son of nature, even if he loses his divine power, the druids will still accept him. Belfast can spend the rest of his life in the divine realm without having to bear the reputation of coveting wealth. "The undead crisis in the north has been temporarily alleviated, but it does not mean that the world is at peace. When the Silver Empire was at its peak, it could suppress the orcs in the south, which they regarded as southern barbarians. But now, rebellions are rife, and the princes are busy grabbing more territory from the emperor in the center. There are no troops stationed on the border. Once the orcs attack you can imagine what a tragic scene it will be." From the beginning, Link never thought that Dante was hiding anything. He also relied on the master to design and build it. What about Longyan Castle? Dante, whose territory is adjacent to the orcs, certainly knows the combat power of the orcs. Once the Lich Lord bewitched the emperor is revealed, the Silver Empire and Hohenheim will inevitably turn against each other. Without the help of the mage, the nobles guarding the border are busy rebelling, and the orcs will definitely take advantage of the chaos to invade. But this is not something you should worry about, Belfast, you have already done your duty. "Instead of spending your remaining lifespan in the guardian land, it is better to spend your limited time on some meaningful things. The emperor only wants to win over me to fight against the intensifying rebellion. He has very little life left, so he has to Before the empire becomes more chaotic, I will try my best to gain some power that can be used by me. As for reputation you know I don¡¯t care what others say or what history books will say. I did what I thought I should do. That's enough." Link tried his best to make the reasons more convincing. This is his usual behavior. He doesn't care about his status, so he should be able to fool the dwarves. "You have done enough." A voice interrupted the secret conversation between the two. Link turned around and saw Grand Duke Kolke standing behind him at some point. Since losing his divine power, he can no longer sense everything around him, but Dante shouldn't be unaware at all. Turning his head back, Link's probing eyes glanced back and forth over the dwarf. Obviously this conversation was intentional by the dwarf, in order to reveal his true feelings. Why? Doesn¡¯t he admire ¡®Befast¡¯ very much? "We have never understood why you accepted the emperor's summons." Grand Duke Kolk strode forward and stretched out his hand to Link with a serious face: "Leave your Majesty's side to me." Oh ~ I can get Kol Grand Duke Ke¡¯s assistance is good, butwhy do I always feel like something is wrong? Without divine power, it was impossible to predict. Link's intuition told him that the Grand Duke was sincere in helping, but he was always feeling uneasy and couldn't tell what was wrong. The Kolker family is the founder of the country and has given birth to several queens. It can be said that it is a noble among nobles. It is second only to the royal family in the empire in terms of bloodline and status. Is this statement made out of sincerity, or The factors to be considered are really There were too many, and Link, who didn't like politics, was overthinking it and simply gave up. Even if the Kolk clan in their own time received the regency, they would still be controlled by the Dawn Sect and could not do anything too extraordinary. Holding the hand of Archduke Korke who showed his kindness, Link didn¡¯t know how long he could stay in this era. Link couldn¡¯t care about that much anymore. As for Dante, who witnessed the cooperation agreement between the two, he said nothing, his brows furrowed more tightly than before the conversation. After the short rest, the gryphon galloped through the night and finally arrived at the imperial capital - Bratis Niles at dawn. Compared with half a year ago, this classicThe Pearl of the Empire, which has experienced several attacks by the coalition forces of the princes, is no longer as prosperous as it was back then. The streets that were once bustling with traffic were deserted. In the light, items scattered on the ground, including clothing, food, and even valuable jewelry and currency, were vaguely visible, which clearly showed how panicked the people who were fleeing were. The arrival of the gryphon caused quite a commotion among the guards. Fortunately, Archduke Kolk's face was extremely recognizable, so he was not attacked as an intruder. However, Archduke Kolk was unable to accompany Link to the palace. When he met the emperor, the news of his arrival had just spread and he was surrounded by officials of all sizes who were still in the emperor and had not yet evacuated. After passing through many corridors, Link saw the emperor himself in the deep palace. Without Frost's spell to cover it up, the supreme ruler of humanity, who lived closely with the Lich Lord, was already on the verge of death, and was a bit older than in the magical teleportation. The sound of messy footsteps interrupted the tranquility of the room, and the emperor woke up from his light sleep sitting on a thick cushion. His cloudy eyes suddenly brightened after seeing Link. Similarly, Link also understood his intention instantly. Talking about the future and making plans are all lies! This ruler, who sat on a vast territory and held supreme power, made the people miserable due to his willful actions. Instead of repenting at all when he was dying, he looked forward to the continuation of his corrupt life. "Divine Envoy, you are the apostle of the Pillar of the Earth, capable of life and death of flesh and bone" After saying a few words, the emperor was out of breath. None of the maids and doctors on the side dared to come forward to help him, even though he was the most noble person in the kingdom. During these days, no one who served the emperor personally lived longer than ten days. No one did not cherish their own lives, and they all hoped in their hearts that the emperor would die soon. Everyone was happy and afraid when they learned that the young man brought by the guards was an apostle of the Pillar of the Earth. They were happy that the son of nature could save them, but they were afraid that the emperor would kill people and silence them after he recovered. "My treatment is not cheap." Originally, he was a little worried that his martial arts without divine support would not be able to handle so many people, but when he saw the people in the room with different expressions, Link suddenly had a plan in mind. Ramos V, who was already on the verge of death, immediately agreed when he heard that he could be saved. He hurriedly ordered his attendants to get the magic scroll used to sign the contract, and even expressed his willingness to crack the earth and become the king as long as he could recover his health, and grant him endless glory and wealth. Before his trembling fingers could finish writing, Archduke Colque, who was entangled by officials, pushed open the door and entered. Seeing who the unsummoned intruder was, the emperor smiled with relief and sat up straight. "Alessandro, the angel said he could heal me" "Your Majesty." The Grand Duke knelt down on one knee and kissed the emperor's skinny fingers. The greetings between the monarch and his ministers did not last long. The moment the Grand Duke raised his head, Ramos V suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs, but the hoarse voice stopped abruptly. Even Link, who had seen a large battle, couldn't help but be shocked by the scene that happened in front of him - the only weapon allowed to be brought into the inner palace was inserted into the chest of the last emperor of the empire, causing the heart that had been lingering for too long to die forever. Stopped beating. Slowly laying the dead Ramos V down, Grand Duke Colque gently brushed the emperor's pale and sparse hair, and straightened the messy clothes, as if he was not the one who killed the emperor, and finally picked up the He put aside the half-written contract. The maid and the medical officer turned pale with fear and huddled together tremblingly. Having witnessed the scene of regicide, the Grand Duke would never spare their lives. It turns out that the previous uneasiness was fulfilled here. Link didn¡¯t say anything. He was waiting for Grand Duke Kolke to explain himself. For a while, the room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. After a long time, the Grand Duke turned around. The contract in his hand had been completed. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the emperor had only written part of it, it would be difficult to tell that it was the handwriting of two people. In just such a short time, the Grand Duke had aged a lot, and he still somewhat resembled the deceased emperor. Link no longer had the intention to speculate on the secrets hidden in it. He only wanted to know the purpose of the rebellious minister who killed the king: "This is what you call a 'method'. To replace it?" "The empire is getting late and can no longer afford his uncontrolled torment." As if he was telling himself, Grand Duke Kolk was silent for a moment, and handed the scroll in his hand to Link: "Ramos V has no children, and I will temporarily manage the empire as regent according to the secret order set at the founding of the country. And you, The hero who defeated the undead and saved the empire in the third northern battle will also become the last feudal lord of the empire. Take your appointment and do what you want to do, Lord Belfast. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s rightall the connecting points in history are right.¡± Link let out a long sigh of relief, he had not been this nervous for a long time. Regardless of whether Archduke Kolk seized power due to ambition or terminated the foolish emperor's continued rule, he still followed the agreement he made with himself. Only with the appointment of the emperor and the approval of the new regent can Longyan Castle be repaired.? possible. However, things went a little too smoothly The worries in Link's heart still haven't been completely eliminated. It seems that he has forgotten something important?
