Chapter 418 Red is.
Collude with demons?
Eliphis glanced at Dorian out of the corner of his eye, and when the latter shook his head, he turned his gaze back.
Why would the minister send someone here?
Eliphis was stunned for a moment, but he suppressed his panic before it came up and asked:
"What's the situation? Tell me in detail."
"Yes," Sally nodded nervously and said, "The minister has sent guards to invite you to the palace."
"Not long ago, news suddenly came from the Warrior Country that a demon tribe had caused a riot in their imperial capital. The demon tribe eventually ran away, but before it was exposed, it asked passers-by about the location of the Light Eagle Group. So the people of the Warrior Country speculated that you were connected to the demon tribe."
Sally's voice got lower and lower, and he shouted angrily: "This is completely nonsense. Who knows if this is a rumor made up by the Warrior Country to slander you? There is no evidence at all. It is just empty talk! The minister is the same. He actually just wanted to..."
“Hehehe.”
Eliphis suddenly smiled, he turned his head and looked at Dorian, the latter's expression was obviously stunned, then he lowered his head in shame, probably he understood what was going on.
In addition to feeling ashamed, he slammed the table hard in anger, but a lucky mentality emerged again. Fortunately, the other party was not caught by the people of the Warrior Kingdom, otherwise he would be dead.
"Don't panic. The minister didn't intend to do anything to me. He sent someone here to remind me."
"If he really believed that, then the people who came would not be guards, but the kingdom's army."
Eliphis walked out of the house calmly, ready to meet the guards sent by the minister under the guidance of Sali.
However, just as he walked out of the house, he suddenly stopped, frowned, asked everyone to wait here for a while, and turned to where the mercenaries lived.
After a while, he came back, wiped his hands, threw the handkerchief aside, and said, "Let's go."
"Lord Eliphis, the minister is waiting for you at the palace."
The guard sent by the minister said politely, as expected, there was only one person, and he didn't even have a weapon on him.
They set out on horseback, and in addition to Sally, there were two other captains coming along. Along the way, the guards were very good at finding topics to talk about, making the atmosphere less dull.
"The Warrior Nation actually sent a dragonblood warrior to spread the news. Minister Oro takes this matter very seriously," the guard said. "We all trust you, sir, but matters related to the demons are taken very seriously after all, so we need you to go to the palace in person to dispel everyone's concerns."
Finally, he added, "They actually spread such disturbing news against one of our legions. The Warrior Nation has ulterior motives. However, their methods were too crude. Not only did they fail to capture any body of the demon, they didn't even have a video of it. No one would believe what they said with just their mouth."
"Um."
Eliphis nodded. The minister's attitude could be seen from the guards' words and actions. Naturally, he would not be nervous about this matter.
As for how to dispel the concerns, we will see after we go there.
After entering the palace, we turned to a castle where the minister was.
But before entering, there was a strange creature lying in front of the castle gate - a flying dragon.
Obviously, this is a flying dragon that specializes in speed. It is larger than a human but smaller than a griffin, which allows it to exert a faster speed. The many enchanted equipment covering its body are also to assist it.
This is the "vehicle" cultivated by the Warrior Country.
Eliphis' eyes flashed, which meant that the dragon-blooded warrior from the Warrior Kingdom was inside.
He looked around and did not sense any danger or ambush. The guards and servants he met on the road greeted him with respect as usual. Nothing had changed.
Sure enough, Minister Oro was still on his side.
Oro, Eliphis once thought about controlling this guy completely, but he found that the other party had a strong will that ordinary people did not have, so he could not make him loyal to him like other people under his control in a short period of time. Oro was often surrounded by powerful guards, so he only exerted his ability briefly every time he came into contact with the other party.
After many contacts, he confirmed that Oro had been captured by his ability, but he could not find an opportunity to use the Demon Egg on him. After all, he still felt that his control was not complete.
But even if it was not thorough, he believed that the minister would not do anything bad to him.
Because that guy is not loyal to the king at all. He only cares about this country. As long as the country is strong, it doesn't matter who he is loyal to.
Eliphis believes that he is the best choice for this country, and Oro has liked him very much in their previous contacts. It is impossible for him to be shaken by the unsubstantiated "rumors" of the Warrior Kingdom.
The gate slowly opened, and everyone in the castle looked over, including the minister and his guards, the two generals of the kingdom, and several civil servants, but the dragonblood warrior was not here.
"Eliphis, you are finally here." Oro smiled kindly. It was not known if it was an illusion, but his fat body seemed a little smaller.
"Long time no see, Oro." Eliphis nodded in response, and his gaze suddenly stopped for a moment when he looked at the other guard.
Those guards were not the familiar faces that usually followed Oro, but stranger and more powerful people, who were as powerful as the captain of the Light Eagle Team, or even stronger.
Are these the private soldiers raised by Oro? Why are they brought out at this time? Are they afraid of the dragonblood warriors?
No, it could be
As soon as he entered the hall, Eliphis felt something was wrong.
He said calmly, "You asked me to come here because of rumors from the enemy country, Oro. What are you thinking about?"
"After all, this is a matter related to the demons, so we have to find out the truth before we can feel at ease. But I completely trust you."
The general beside Oro suddenly took out a crystal ball and said:
"That demon attacked the capital of the Warrior Nation, and before that he was looking for the Light Eagle Group's base. Maybe it was a coincidence, but Eliphis, here is a crystal ball for detecting demons. Both demons and people who have come into contact with demons can be detected. If you want to prove yourself, try this."
Eliphis said disdainfully: "What a joke! They are asking me to prove my own claims for the enemy's unsubstantiated news. Do we have to kowtow to them?"
"Then you feel guilty?" asked the general.
"Oh, that's nonsense."
He responded calmly, but he was already confused in his heart. According to Oro's character, there was no way he would let the general do this unless he also supported the other party.
"Eliphis, just give it a try, so as to dispel people's concerns." At this time, Oro suddenly spoke, persuading with a smile.
“.”
Eliphis suddenly fell silent. He stared at Oro, trying to read something from that fat face.
"If you are worried that the crystal ball may contain traps, I have one of the same type here," the minister added, and his private soldiers and guards took out the crystal ball that had been prepared long ago.
I see.
Eliphis suddenly understood why Oro gave him a strange feeling today.
This is putting pressure on him and hitting him.
The control he exerted on Oro seemed to have failed. No wonder Oro felt different from usual.
Eliphis was a little surprised when he noticed this, but when he thought that the minister was also a very powerful person, it didn't seem strange that he found some props to remove mental control.
When it comes to this point, don’t think about why the other party got rid of the mental influence, but think about what the other party is going to do now.
Given the other party's personality, he might be able to sense something. Fortunately, he never did anything out of line in front of Oro when he was controlling him. It is estimated that the other party would just sense that something was wrong and become wary of him.
Now in this hall, besides Oro's private soldiers, the other two generals were also secretly gathering their strength. If both of them attacked together, Eliphis would not be able to defeat him in a short time.
This is a dangerous situation, but it has not yet reached the point where relations will break out.
Eliphis could even guess what Oro was thinking.
That guy must be wary of himself, but also thinks that he is the best choice for the country, so he set up a Hongmen Banquet here, showing off his military power and warning him not to mess around and do anything out of line, trying to tell him:
"If you behave yourself, the position of the Queen's husband will still be yours in the future."
Thinking of this, Eliphis felt not only relieved, but also humiliated.
He climbed to a high position, and his life was to be the one who controlled the overall situation, but now he was still threatened and warned by the ministers, which made him feel humiliated and
The desire to be in control.
Sure enough, just waiting patiently for the king to die of illness and the princess to take the throne is too slow. There are too many variables in the middle, and I must speed up the process.
And get more power!
Eliphis suddenly smiled, a smile of contempt, and he calmly took the crystal ball.
Fortunately, I thought about this kind of thing and was prepared.
In full view of everyone, he injected magic power into the crystal ball, and the ball slowly changed color, and people's faces also slowly changed.
That is the red color which represents extreme danger!
——————————————————————
Sen Dungeon, top of the ancient dragon.
When they defeated the ancient dragon, Selene and her companions were teleported to an unknown place, and a bonfire appeared in front of them.
Next to the bonfire is a two-story room filled with meditating little dragons and various items with a religious atmosphere. Although it is difficult to understand, people still feel a sense of solemnity.
Hawkwood disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone, so people entered the room on the second floor.
Hence the current battle.
"Why do these people keep coming out? No matter how hard we try, we can never kill them all!"
Selene screamed and dodged the attack of the spirits, running towards Fingri and the others.
The moment they entered the second-floor room, they were invaded by a group called [Heroic Spirits - Dragon Blood Knights]. After these guys were killed, new ones would be summoned immediately to replace them, so they could never kill them all.
Now people are getting tired of fighting, and everyone is injured to varying degrees.
"Look upstairs, there's a fat snake man!"
Fingri noticed that there was a snake man jumping upstairs like a shaman, and as he jumped, a new dragon blood knight was emerging!
"It turns out that guy is causing trouble. Go and kill him!"
Finally found the culprit, he was so happy that he rushed up to the second floor in two steps.
The snake man didn't panic when he saw him rushing towards him, but summoned new spirits around him.
Another Dragon Blood Knight?
Wait, something doesn't look right.
Fingri suddenly stopped and looked warily at the new spirit that was slowly emerging. He took out his throwing knife and threw it tentatively.
"Bang!"
The flying knife bounced away as if it had hit a rock. He got this knife from the painting messenger. It was obviously very sharp and ordinary armor should not be able to withstand it.
The newly appeared spirit was wearing armor that was too exaggerated for an adventurer, holding an overly heavy shield, and wielding a huge dragon fang as a weapon. It looked like a mobile fortress made of stone. This was not a Dragonblood Knight, but -
