Volume 1 Chapter 46 My foolish king, don’t you realize the seriousness of the matter?
“Hoo! Hoo!”
As the shadows approached the town of Wick, yellow sand rose in the darkness.
“Bang!”
A huge figure fell to the ground, it turned out to be a two-winged dragon!
One of them fell to the ground.
"Light!"
The man's hoarse voice rang out.
In the dark night, balls emitting white light appeared in the sky above the town of Wick, illuminating the dark town of Wick.
The figure of the man next to the black dragon gradually became brighter.
He was wearing a grey robe with little sparkles on it, which were gems.
His face was somewhat pale, his eyes were narrow and long, his nose was straight and curved, his lips were thin and rosy, and there was not a single flaw on his oval face.
If it weren't for his Adam's apple, this person would probably be mistaken for a woman.
He looked at the corpses on the ground with despairing expressions, his face full of amusement.
"I never thought I would be able to meet the Chief Inquisitor of the Universal Church here."
The man slowly raised his head, revealing a meaningful expression, and stared straight at Yuri who was standing in front of him like a statue.
"If the intelligence is correct, this town should be called Vick Town, right? Are all these civilians heretics?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
The other party closed his eyes and seemed to be waiting for something.
"Blasphemers are heretics." Yuri's voice was emotionless. "Lord Wheeler Ferdinand, the protector of the Kingdom of Klei, may I ask what your purpose is? Has the beast tide in the north been repelled?"
Yuri was a little depressed. He had been waiting here for a long time just to see if the person from the mysterious force would show up.
As a result, the guardian wizard of the Kingdom of Klei arrived.
It seems that the intelligence network of the Kingdom of Claire is not as bad as the church knows.
"Haha, heresy." Wheeler sneered and replied, "The safety of the kingdom is not the responsibility of the Universal Church. However, at this time, there was turmoil in the north of the kingdom. The former Knight Commander, Marcus Cash, died, and even his grave was dug up."
Wheeler's voice became playful as he spoke: "What a coincidence that the Chief Judge of the Universal Church appeared here, and the people in the entire town were executed as heretics. In the territory of the Kingdom of Claire, civilians should not be executed by the church no matter what, right? Your Excellency the Chief Judge, don't you agree?"
Wheeler was alert.
He had previously been to the place where Marcus died and saw the big ball.
He was somewhat confused.
How could Marcus die so soon after being exiled to the frontier?
And Wheeler reappears.
Coupled with the beast tide caused by the explosion in Osden Forest, he felt that something was wrong.
There seems to be some big conspiracy.
"Here's what happened..."
Yuri slowly told the story, including his suspicion that someone was disrupting order on the mainland.
In the past, he wouldn't have said a word to Wheeler, and might even have fought him.
But that’s not the case now.
A mysterious force is secretly disrupting the order of the mainland with an unclear but terrifying purpose.
It's not the right time to make enemies at this moment.
If the cause and effect of the matter is not explained clearly, there may be some misunderstanding.
By then, the Kingdom of Clae will become hostile to the church, which will only add to the chaos.
"Um......"
Wheeler was a little surprised at first to hear Yuri explain himself.
This Chief Heretic Inquisitor is not a kind person, but he can still explain patiently?
But the more he listened, the more solemn Wheeler's expression became.
Without thinking too much, he believed it!
A mysterious force attempts to subvert the mainland!
No wonder we have received a series of strange reports about the church today.
The church actually sounded the alarm.
so it is!
"Thank you for the information provided by Judge Philip. On behalf of His Majesty the King, I would like to express my gratitude." Wheeler frowned and slowly mounted his dragon.
This is horrible.
He had to go back and prepare for it.
“Ouch!”
He tightened the reins around the dragon's neck, then slowly stared into Yuri's eyes, and said with a playful smile: "However, I hope the church will be prepared to explain to His Majesty the King what happened in the town of Vick."
"go back!"
The dragon flew into the night sky.
The bright balls of light gradually disappeared.
Yuri slowly closed his eyes again.
The church’s explanation?
Explain the hair.
......
Time passes slowly.
The flying dragon landed outside a luxurious palace.
The Kingdom of Clae was extremely rich, because there was no war in the country and it had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.
"My foolish king, can you keep your wealth in the dark?"
The sky was gray and had already started to show some color. It would be dawn soon.
Wheeler looked at the misty luxurious palace, shook his head, jumped off the flying dragon, and walked slowly inside.
"Your Excellency the Duke!"
The guards outside the palace had already seen the flying dragon, which was Wheeler's symbolic mount.
"Haha, I still prefer you to call me Master Mage."
Wheeler raised his hand slightly, signaling the guards not to be polite, and walked straight in.
As a national wizard and a duke, he didn't need any unnecessary procedures to meet the king.
Soon, he passed through the complex corridor and entered a study.
A fat man in fancy clothes was sleeping and drooling on a table covered with precious white animal skin.
Behind the fat man were two maids. They bowed respectfully towards Wheeler, revealing their snow-white skin.
"Ahem, my wise king, I'm back!"
Wheeler cleared his throat and shouted.
“Ah! Ah…Ah? Ah——”
The fat man was startled, and when he saw Wheeler, he blinked his little eyes twice.
He shook his head violently again, and the fat on his face swayed.
He just opened his mouth, as if he had suddenly realized something, and grabbed a piece of parchment, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face: "So this is how it is, no wonder, I thought about it all night before I figured it out, I'm so ashamed..."
Wheeler's mouth twitched.
What are you pretending for?
Do you think that if you stay in your study and sleep every day, the people of the country won’t know that you are stupid?
And what's up with you holding the parchment upside down?
Could you please pay attention?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, Marcus Casey is dead." Wheeler said respectfully to the king.
"Dead? Haha, that's great!" The king's face lit up with joy, and his saliva flowed down again. He seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, so he sighed and said sadly: "Alas, the Knight-General worked diligently, but I didn't expect to end up like this. It's really sad. Tomorrow, I will posthumously confer a title on him to thank him for his lifelong dedication."
Wheeler rolled his eyes furtively.
He walked slowly towards the king, leaned over to the king's ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I didn't kill Marcus. He died at the hands of a mysterious force..."
Wheeler told the king what he had learned.
But he was not told that the person dead in the grave was not Marcus.
I was very selective and only said things that the king could understand.
After all, the king doesn't have much brains in his head.
"What? A mysterious force?" The king stared at Wheeler with his small eyes and said in a deep voice: "Duke Ferdinand, find this force for me immediately and destroy it! Also, send a notice to the church and ask them to apologize to us for the evil deeds of the town of Wick!"
After that, he winked at Wheeler and whispered, "By the way, let them secretly hand over some gold coins to me."
"I... am, Your Majesty!"
Wheeler's brows twitched.
This king is really unreliable!
Didn't I tell him that this force is extremely powerful and has the ability to subvert the entire world?
And disappear?
Don't you realize the seriousness of the situation?
Even the church has sounded the alarm!
Are you stupid?
And at a time like this, do you still want to mess with the church?
Still asking for money?
Grass!
It seems that the ministers of the kingdom have to raise funds and pretend that those gold coins are sent by the church to satisfy the greed of the foolish king.
Heavy bleeding!
When he left, Wheeler said with a gloomy face: "My prince, please grow up quickly. When you grow up, your stupid father can die."
