Nix is dead…
All the empire’s generals had disbelief on their faces when they heard the news!
Nix: a famous general who became famous a hundred years ago. He had killed an entire team of northern Beastmen Dragon Knights by himself. Because his palm was twice the size of an ordinary person, he was known as a giant’s hand!
His statue had already been listed in the Empire’s Pavilion of Honor. His deeds had already been recorded in the Empire’s Register of famous generals. Many people actually thought that this former general of Honor had already passed away and entered the pavilion of honor with the statue, however, they did not expect that he was still alive. They did not expect that he would actually be killed!
At this moment, in the kingdom’s Hall, King Gavin Tiger was sitting on the throne. He looked down with a gloomy expression. “What exactly is going on?”
All the generals lowered their heads and looked at the two children who were less than ten years old with a scrutinizing gaze. There was also a fat man who was so drunk that he was still unconscious.
Rox raised his head slightly and looked at the angry look of the emperor. However, his heart was getting colder and colder…
Under the hypnosis of the mage, pumpkin told them what had happened while trembling in fear. Of course, the script would definitely be changed. Naturally, he would not say that Pu Yunchuan, who had drunk too much, swung his elephant trunk to chase the others away, instead, he imagined the scene of Knicks fighting bravely, protecting them at the last moment, and finally forcing the assassin away.
As for hypnosis? What a joke. How could a mage who wasn’t even level two use pure spiritual power to hypnotize a developer?
“That’s not right…”. One of the golden-haired warriors shook his head after hearing Pumpkin’s explanation. “Senior Knicks was killed by his waist. In that case, he obviously couldn’t fight anymore, but the other party still had the strength to escape. If that’s the case, why not take care of the two of you before escaping “After all, a person who can defeat Senior Nix, no matter how heavily injured he is, wouldn’t he have the strength to take care of the two of you?”
Everyone looked over. The golden-haired warrior who spoke was called Mihok. He was an outstanding junior nurtured by the Arlys family. He was the youngest general, and he was only twenty-six years old, this record had already broken the progress of the previous generation of kings and Old Rox. He was close to the four great legends of the Golden Era!
“I don’t know…”pumpkin, who was being questioned, did not panic at all, still acting as if he was hypnotized, his voice was like a machine as he replied, “They retreated after seeing a green signal… I don’t know why they didn’t kill US along the way.”
If there was something that could not be explained, they would blame it on a third party. In any case, the third party was not at the scene. This was the blame-shifting method that rainy, WUGUA, had taught them.
As expected… When everyone heard this answer, although they all frowned, they did not continue to ask questions. It was obvious that they did not think that a child could tell such a lie under the hypnosis of the great mage.
“Just now… you said that when Knicks fought, you called him ‘Black Knight Alice’?”Rox asked with narrowed eyes.
This topic instantly made the atmosphere in the hall become strange.
At first, no one questioned this point because they all felt that this statement was too unbelievable. Now That Old Rox had brought it up personally, everyone immediately looked at each other in dismay.
Black Knight Alice, one of the four great legends of the Golden Age Empire, once followed the second generation of kings to dominate the north. She was the only female legend in the thousand years since the founding of the Empire!
It was also because of this golden generation that the empire’s territory expanded unprecedentedly. It only forced the northern Beastmen tribes to form an alliance to form a blockade of the steel martial empire’s territory. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Empire’s army was unable to engage in wild battles with the beastmen at that time.., with the generation of geniuses and the unprecedented number of generals, the empire would have long since unified the entire continent!
To say that such a person from 700 years ago appeared in the Imperial Palace and wanted to assassinate two descendants of the felon family was simply a fantasy.
“Nonsense, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?”Emperor Jiawen said with a black face!
“Your Highness…”. “…”Old Rox stood up and bowed slightly, “I also don’t believe that the person from 700 years ago could live until now, and I think that even if that senior hero could really live until now and had obtained so much glory, someone who could stand side by side with the Emperor and the Pavilion of Glory would definitely not betray the Empire and join that infamous shadow stream organization, but…”. “…”
At this point, he paused and looked at the crowd, “Although the matter is absurd, a hypnotized child will not lie. Nix did say that before he died. As for why he said that, I think it is necessary to investigate!”
“How?”Emperor Gavin frowned.
“Open the coffin! !”Rox said in a deep voice.
“What? ?”
The hall immediately cried out in surprise, and the emperor’s face also darkened. “Are you serious, teacher?”
ROX: “This Old Man will not joke about such things!”
Hearing this, Garwen’s face became even gloomier, he said coldly, “In the Empire’s Pavilion of honor, those who are sealed are those who have made indelible historical achievements for the empire. Senior Alice is the most glorious person in history. To be able to share the pavilion with the second generation of kings, if opening the pavilion is disrespectful to the ancestors, it is also disrespectful to my ancestors!”
“Your Highness!”Rox did not give in. “If senior Alice’s body was used by someone with evil intentions, and we just let it go, that would be disrespectful to the ancestors!”
“How do you know that what Nix said is true?”The Emperor said with a cold face. “What if you saw wrong? Or was it induced by some other factors? Are you so sure that someone used senior Alice’s body? What kind of sorcery can resurrect a 700-year-old figure and use it for oneself? And it’s the Pavilion of Glory, with the twelve magicians’enchantments. Who can get in?”
Rox looked at him. Every question he asked made sense, but every question he asked made his heart grow colder. He was now almost certain that the man sitting on the throne in front of him, there is a definite connection with this matter!
————
The general assembly ended on a sour note with the disagreement between Rox and Gavin, with both sides holding reservations that put many of the generals in the room in a difficult position, as both sides seemed to have a point.
Rox walked out of the Imperial Hall, settled the two Ferren children and the drunken, fat bastard, and went straight to a villa in the back of the palace.
This villa was temporarily used as a shelter for the corpse of Nyx. At this time, he needed to wait for professional alchemists to use secret anti-corrosion materials to seal this warrior who had enough achievements, then, he would be sent to the Pavilion of Glory and the Empire’s glory to live forever!
“Teacher, do you really think that someone used magic to resurrect Lord Alice’s body?”In the villa, a gray-haired middle-aged man frowned and looked at Rox.
Rox looked at him. The middle-aged man who called him teacher was called Delor. He was the younger brother of the current king and one of the many disciples he had taught in the royal family.
This child was different from Gavin, who was very fond of his achievements. He was calm and reserved, and he had good financial management skills. It was a pity that he did not have any talent in martial arts. He was despised by the previous king, however, in fact, Rox was more willing to let the throne pass to him.
“Have you seen your father’s body?”Rox suddenly asked faintly.
“No…”dilo shook his head with a gloomy expression. “At that time, the situation was tense. Other than brother Jiawen, who inherited the throne, the other princes were all forbidden to leave the territory and could not return to the imperial city.”
Rox nodded. This idea was put forward by the prime minister at that time, and it was approved by him.
The previous Emperor had passed away, and the North took advantage of the chaos to launch a large-scale attack. In order to ensure the stability of the internal situation, they agreed with the prime minister’s idea of forbidding the other princes from returning to the imperial city, they were afraid that there would be an internal conflict on the throne during the chaos.
But now that they thought about it…
“Your father’s corpse is exactly the same as Old Nyx’s…”Rox suddenly said.
“Eh?”Hearing this, Delor trembled. He stared at the extremely strange corpse of Nyx in a daze.
Unlike the other corpses, Rox’s corpse was extremely strange. His entire body was grayish-white, as if he had lost his color. It gave him a feeling that he did not belong to this world.
“Father… didn’t he sacrifice himself in the battle with the newly promoted chief of the Hammer of Destruction?”Delor asked in a daze.
“That stupid big guy?”Rox sneered. “He doesn’t have that ability…”
Rox did not say anything else. His mind recalled the wound on the back of the previous king’s crossbow… … and the grayish-white color that was the same as Nix’s… . .
A terrible guess suddenly flashed through his mind…
. . Could it be… . . That Gavin and… . .
