Shameless Warlock

The Eastern Kingdom, the capital of Renxenberg.

In the palace, the blood that lingered for a long time made people panic, but due to the old king's usual sternness, most people didn't even dare to stop and watch for a moment.

In the study room, the old king, who was exhausted due to his old age, was lying on the table and fell asleep, with a thick approval document next to his left hand; the waiter next to him was a little nervous. Reminds the increasingly irascible old king.

Fortunately, a series of footsteps saved him.

"General Howell!" The waiter looked surprised.

"Go down, I want to talk to His Royal Highness alone."

It was a burly middle-aged man. Although his tone was very calm, the oncoming power still made the waiters who had served the king for a long time feel a little unbearable.

Only warriors who have been on the battlefield have such a heart-pounding feeling.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and left silently.

Tonight, the king wanted to be diligent on a whim, and learned about the financial and taxation situation in various places overnight, so he only brought him a waiter, and it stands to reason that he should not have left. However, Howell's reputation is almost unknown in the capital Renxenberg.

He is the most trusted person of the old king. The friendship between the two parties has been forged since Howell was young when he followed the king during the Southern and Northern Wars, and he has never turned against each other because of power disputes.

It is also because of this that he can enter and exit the forbidden area of ​​the palace without authorization.

"Don't go too far. I will need you to serve me later."

When the waiter came to the door, Howell suddenly mentioned something.

He nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

[At least I don’t need to wake up this irritable tiger; his temper has become more and more irritable these years, it’s really scary...]

With this in mind, he didn't dare to stay too far away, but stood there peacefully at a certain distance.

From this angle, you can see the condensed blood in the sky.

Living in the palace for a long time, he suddenly remembered a legend.

That legend is related to His Royal Highness Evelyn who is far away in the Ice Wind Territory, and also related to her mysterious mother...

His thoughts were interrupted in an instant.

Because there was violent scolding in the study.

The waiter felt even more grateful to General Howell.

...

In the study.

"Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, do so quickly."

Howell's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, he just said quickly: "But I do have very important things."

There was still spittle at the corner of the old king's mouth, and he was wiping it off with good silk at this time.

Although he was old, he still knew Howell, and he would not have done such a presumptuous thing if there was no real big event.

He has always been measured.

And the scolding just now was purely to vent his emotions, and at the same time, it made the old king himself mentally prepare for the possible bad news next.

"What is it about?"

"etc……"

Before the old king could finish his question, he suddenly felt agitated, as if he had lost something, and began to grope frantically with his hands.

He even jumped up from his position so anxiously that he almost didn't fall!

"Disappeared……"

"My blood contract..."

"you……"

He looked up sharply, looking at Howell.

The latter sighed softly and opened the window silently. Outside the window, the blood-red light began to recede, but it was still a bit dazzling.

"There should be some bad talk at tomorrow's meeting."

"But I don't care about those people, you know what I'm trying to say."

Howell's tone was a little weird, it sounded very firm, but it also had a hint of regret.

puff!

The old king sank down on a soft chair.

At that moment, he seemed ten years older.

"My blood contract is gone, the emperor's blood contract..."

"Hehe, everyone knows that I am invincible on the battlefield because I am extremely brave; but they don't know that without the protection of the emperor's blood contract, I would have died dozens of times; no one knows... "

"That's the only thing Ulrika left me."

When the name Ulrika was mentioned, some brilliance bloomed in his eyes.

Howell bowed his head in silence.

That was not a name he could talk about.

Regarding the Emperor's Blood Pact, probably only Howell and another court mage in the entire palace knew something about it, that is, Evelyn's teacher.

That was a powerful blessing given to the old king by the mysterious Ulrika. Only with the protection of the emperor's blood contract could he be invincible on the battlefield.

That is also the only legacy of the Caesar Empire in Ulrika's hands.

Although Ulrika passed away many years ago, the Emperor's Blood Pact has always been there. But now, the Emperor's Blood Pact disappeared. This means that the inheritors of the Caesar Empire have awakened like Ulrika many years ago.

Evelyn wakes up.

This is a very dangerous and uncertain factor for the entire Eastern Kingdom, especially since she is far away in the Ice Wind Territory.

Thinking of this, Howell couldn't help but looked up at the old king.

At the beginning, he strongly opposed letting Evelyn go away, but the old king seemed to be conniving on purpose.

Perhaps the old king still had luck in his heart, thinking that it was impossible for Evelyn to awaken the blood of the Caesar Empire like her mother—after all, the power of this kind of breed cannot erupt in every generation. Generally speaking, an eruption takes at least It takes several generations to accumulate new power and prepare for the next outbreak.

But now, things have changed.

Evelyn's awakening has added more unstable factors to the already somewhat unpredictable Eastern Kingdom. The nobles of the kingdom cannot support the descendants of the Caesar Empire to become queen; the church will not allow it.

And after any other heirs ascended the throne, the first thing they did was probably to kill Evelyn.

What will Evelyn do then?

Evelyn, who possesses great power, still remembers what happened to her mother, will she show mercy to her brothers and sisters?

These thoughts quickly passed through the minds of the two of them, and both of them actually had a decision.

This is not the first time Howell has mentioned this issue.

He had discussed with the old king a long time ago that there should be a contingency plan in case of an accident.

But the old king was very stubborn in this regard.

He probably thought he had fifty more years to live.

Squeak.

Howell closed the window, and the waiter outside the corridor was shivering with cold, but he didn't dare to take a second look.

...

"Then what do you think I should do?" The old king struggled: "I can't kill Evelyn."

"She is Ulrika's child and mine."

"You have many children," Howell said quietly.

"What's more, you know the power of the Emperor's Blood Pact."

The old king trembled.

"I heard that the awakening of Caesar's blood often means war. A large number of innocent people will die in the war, and eventually blood will flow into rivers."

Howell said seriously: "I don't want to see this happen."

"Please order!"

The old king's eyes gradually lost their luster. After a long time, he suddenly picked up the pen, grabbed a piece of paper and wrote some words, and then stamped his secret seal.

"Which side are you going to ask?" He looked a little tired, but he asked casually.

"Her Highness Evelyn has my people by my side. As long as you have your order, tomorrow... the shadow of the Caesar Empire will not linger on the homeland of the Rhine Kingdom."

Howell stepped forward, took the note, read it carefully, and nodded slightly after confirming that it was correct.

"There is another very important thing, which is related to the Blue Clothes Sect who has been the most popular in the Ice and Snow Goddess Church recently."

"Your Majesty, walls have ears..."

The old king impatiently motioned Howell to come over and talk.

Howell took two steps forward naturally, and then suddenly thrust forward. At that moment, the old king's eyes popped out, and he wanted to make a sound but couldn't make any sound.

A dagger was stuck in his chest, and the blood flowed down the blade and dripped on the marble floor, and soon became a beautiful blood flower.

"After losing the emperor's blood contract, you are indeed a waste."

"I have a piece of information about Lan Yijiao that I want to share with you, that is..."

"I am one of the seven senior members of Lanyijiao."

Howell whispered in the old king's ear: "Guess why I killed you with my left hand? The servant who just went out is actually your illegitimate son? Left-handed, blond hair, really looks like you..."

The old king's eyes were bloodshot, and his body was frantically trying to struggle, but his whole body seemed to be wrapped in the coldest winter, and he could only gradually fall into the boundless hell in the end.

Not long after, the old king died.

Howell let go of his hand with a calm expression.

He looked at the note in his hand, his eyes filled with emotion:

"In the end, you still have to order Evelyn to be killed."

"Sister Ulrika, you really believed in the wrong person."

"Alright, it's time for Evelyn to see how mediocre and incompetent her father is."

Sigh in a low voice.

He put away the note, then arranged the study briefly, and then said with a loud voice:

"You can come in now."

The waiter in the corridor suddenly shuddered and walked in quickly.

The blood light above the sky suddenly dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion in the palace.

The commotion did not subside until midnight.

The old king was assassinated, and the murderer was his personal servant.

Lefty's killing method has undoubtedly illustrated this point.

General Howell stood up to preside over the overall situation in grief, and invited the heirs to the throne to return to Lunsenburg to discuss the old king's funeral.

And the matter of succession to the Datong.

...

The Ice Wind Territory, which is thousands of miles away, has not yet heard of the earthquake that occurred in Lunsenburg.

On the oak square, Evelyn slowly opened her eyes.

At that moment, she seemed to see thousands of troops and horses and mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

"Are you okay?"

A gentle voice sounded beside her ear.

That voice seemed to have a calming power.

The panic in her heart seemed to be calmed down a little in an instant.

Evelyn tilted her head in confusion and looked over, Xu Nan smiled slightly, pointed at the excited Mirren below and said:

"wake up?"

"The story has just begun."

...
