Volume 1 Chapter 138 The Foolish King Sure Envisioned It
When Lynch led the two races to declare war on Selby, Sam, the head of the most powerful family in the Kingdom of Claire, conspired with Wheeler, the most powerful man in the kingdom.
They are ready for the handover of power.
What is the most perfect process? It is to let the king die unexpectedly when the smiling man is performing the "triumphal welcome" ceremony.
They were united for their own reasons.
As for Sam, he was sentimental. He fainted and was seriously ill for three days because of the death of his enemy. He was very grateful to Lynch for saving Nystad. He was willing to sacrifice his life as long as it would not cut off the continuation of the Linton family.
And the king?
In the eyes of the Linton family, it was nothing. The lifelong goal of the Linton family was to become a family that would last for thousands of years and to hold on to a small territory.
Wheeler, who was a man of power and glory, had long wanted to kill the fool king. However, the prince was still young and would not be of any benefit to the kingdom.
He was loyal to the Kingdom of Claire all his life, but not to the royal family. He had discovered that the king hated Lynch, a new and powerful noble family. After comparing the interests of many parties, he still felt that it would be better to let His Majesty die as soon as possible and replace him with someone else as king...
The death of the king would not only allow the already famous 'Mr. Number One' to have a closer relationship with the kingdom, but would also help them achieve their respective goals - repaying their gratitude and providing a boost to the Kingdom of Claire.
Wouldn't it be easy for the two most powerful men in the two kingdoms to unite and kill a king who has little power and military force?
However, when Lynch unexpectedly chose to confront the royal family alone, they found that they had thought too simply and things seemed to have changed.
When they were urgently investigating the situation, they discovered that the king who was treated as a puppet was not dead yet!
Moreover, the palace seemed to be controlled by some force, and all the spies they had placed in the palace were killed...
"The Universal Church!"
Wheeler and Sam looked at each other, squinted their eyes, said the name, and quickly began to make preparations.
......
As soon as Lin Qi arrived in front of the palace, he exclaimed in his heart, "Just as expected."
The first book he read was called 'Game of Thrones'!
It describes how sinister various countries are, and how all the people with prospects and abilities are dead.
When I arrived early, I was already prepared to nip the conspiracy in the bud.
So when they avoided the "warm" welcome outside the city, it was not only because they didn't want to see more of these people, but also because they didn't want to give the royal family more time to prepare.
In fact, he was just a simple person and no one believed him, not even Sam and Wheeler who were ambiguous.
That book is so dark...
So he came to the royal palace, ready to finish these things as soon as possible. After work, he could go back to the territory to sleep well, practice well, and study how to make pig's feet rice. Isn't it wonderful?
Sure enough, when he was floating in front of the palace, he used life sensing and energy detection magic and immediately discovered that something was wrong in the palace.
There were more than a few thousand people hiding in there, almost in every room, and they were all ready to attack.
Among them, there were a few that Lynch was familiar with—Yuri, the heretic judge of the Universal Church, Maggie, the Apostle of God, and the Ice and Snow Emperor!
Not only them, there are also many extraordinary and powerful people who exude the unique aura of the Universal Church!
"These guys are going to fight me, right?" Lin Qi gritted his teeth and said, "After my little Chou goes to the church, if he reports back that he was successful, I will destroy your Almighty Church!"
......
The royal palace of the Kingdom of Clae.
This was originally the most magnificent place in the entire Kingdom of Klei, because the country had been developing year after year, the weather was good, and there was no cause for war. The country's tax revenue and wealth were accumulated to a great extent.
There are countless flashy magic props in the palace. Paintings and poems by famous bards are hung on the walls. Even the carpets are rune props that can purify themselves automatically. There are countless gold and silver utensils.
Normally, anyone who enters the palace will marvel at the wealth of the royal family of the Kingdom of Clae.
But today, the palace is different. Its corridors are filled with mages wearing robes of various colors and holding staffs, with the majority wearing white robes.
In the main hall and the spacious corridors stood many heroic knights in armor.
These are the forces controlled by the Almighty Church and the King.
At this time, the king was lying on the soft bed in his room. Many powerful people from the Universal Church and the royal relatives of the kingdom were standing inside with complicated expressions. There was an overturned glass cup on the ground, and the living medicine was leaking out, dyeing the carpet with autonomous purification power black!
"Damn it, damn it! Someone wants to kill me. It must be that damned Shen'en... No, it must be the conspiracy of the Smiling Man!" The king's face was distorted, and fat dripped down his face as he roared: "He must have got the news that I was going to deal with him, so he wants to kill me. He actually dared to murder the king!"
He was nearly scared to death by Xiao Chou a few days ago, and he is still recovering from his serious illness. Every day when he sleeps soundly, he has nightmares about Xiao Chou hitting his penis.
But now, he has more nightmares, such as... being drugged and killed.
"..."
"..."
Everyone in the room was looking at this useless king roaring, and they looked at each other, and could see that they were speechless.
Isn't this obvious? Someone poisoned the medicine you were supposed to drink. Is this something Mr. No. 1 could do?
It's clear that someone you trust did it...
But obviously, no one in the room wanted to tell the king this news.
The royal relatives didn't want it, they just wanted the king to die so they could fight for the throne. If they hadn't heard that Wheeler had prepared for the little prince to take the throne, they wouldn't have gotten involved.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Since our Almighty Church is willing to help you and guarantee the legitimate royal bloodline of the Kingdom of Claire, we will not let you die under the conspiracy of the Great Earl of Divine Grace." Yuri bowed slightly to the king and said, "The light of the Almighty God is shining on you. We have received instructions from God to come to lend a hand to you and bring the evil Great Earl of Divine Grace to justice."
Although the king is a fool, he is not completely stupid.
Under the influence of what he saw and heard, he still had some doubts about the universal church. He asked Yuri, "Where is Archduke Ferdinand? I want Archduke Ferdinand!"
"..."
"..."
The people in the room were speechless again.
My good Lord, it is obvious that Lord Wheeler wants to kill you...
