The king's last words rang out in Roddy's ears like a thunderbolt, and before the words fell, the sharp gaze of the kingdom was already fixed on Roddy's face.
"Hahaha" Luo Di suddenly smiled lightly, his face did not have the slightest look of shock, he still had a calm and calm demeanor, and said slowly: "Your Majesty seems to have misrecognized my name."
I'm the commander of the Imperial Royal Guard, and Lord, the First Earl of the Empire, Roddy, is not a duke. ” The king sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, why do you continue to hide it like this, I have already seen through your identity. ” Luo Di smiled slightly: "Your Majesty must have misunderstood, Duke Tulip's demeanor is a household name in Yanjing of the Bright Empire, and many people have seen his appearance, how can you suspect that I am a duke" The king squinted his eyes, making it impossible to guess his thoughts from his gaze, and then heard him slowly say, "Although I am not on good terms with the temple, there are always some sources of news from the Cult.
The Black Veil Sage has refused the marriage contract of the Fielding Paladin since he returned from the Great Moon Kingdom, and it has long been rumored in the temple that this matter may have something to do with the Duke of Tulip, and under the Thundering City, the matter of the challenge of the Fielding Paladin and the Duke, hundreds of thousands of people have seen it, can't it prove anything Yesterday in this palace, the Black Veil Sage was by your side, and I can already confirm the reason for her apostasy just by the way she looked at Your Excellency."
Luo Di smiled and glanced at the king as if he was casual: "Is it just based on this speculation that Your Majesty will actually think that I am Duke Tulip, which is too much?"
The king laughed loudly, and the laughter interrupted Roddy's words: "Hahaha just by virtue of this, although I will have some doubts, I will not really think about it.
It's just that I happened to get two pieces of news last night, which naturally makes me have to doubt Your Excellency's identity. ” Roddy looked at the king quietly, he was already a little shocked in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface, waiting for the king to speak.
"Your Excellency Luo Di, the competition you had with the crown prince last night, I also received news that others may not know the strength of Thunder Roar, but I know that Thunder Roar was originally a member of the Royal Knights, and what level of strength has his strength reached, I naturally know in my heart that you can easily defeat Thunder Roar, and the last move is condensed into shape, and it is clearly the realm of your country's Sword Saint Warrior" The king's tone became slower and slower: "Your Excellency Luo Di, although I am far away in the Roland Continent, but in view of the relationship between your country and us before, hehe, I am not ignorant of the affairs in your country, with the strength of your Sword Saint Warrior, it can be said that it is rare in the Empire of Light, but a master like you, why have I never heard of your name before?"
Luo Di still shook his head: "It's just chasing the wind."
The territory of the Bright Continent is vast, and I don't know how many high-ranking hermits, and not all powerful people have a prominent reputation."
The king's face remained unchanged, and he continued coldly to throw out another sentence: "And coincidentally, just last night I received a secret letter from your country, Lord Tulip has been recovering from his injuries and has not appeared in front of people for a long time, is it also a coincidence?"
Roddy couldn't help frowning secretly, he wasn't worried about anything else, it's just that the king got a secret report from the empire so quickly, don't forget it, it's just that Nicole is still in the country, so I'm afraid Seth's identity will be suspected.
Sure enough, the king continued to smile and said: "And what is even more puzzling to me is that the secret report actually says that Miss Nicole is still in the country, and at this moment in the fiefdom of the Tulip family, of course I will be strange, since the eldest lady of the Tulip family is still in your country, then who is the Miss Nicole you brought, and what puzzles me is that according to my news, the Miss Nicole you brought is the eldest daughter of the Tulip family mentioned in the legend, and the appearance is extremely imaginary."
The king sighed, looked at Roddy and never spoke, smiled deliberately, and continued: "Since two Miss Nicole can appear at the same time, then His Excellency Duke Tulip incarnates as Count Roddy and takes his sister to visit the Roland Continent secretly."
Speaking of this, the king seemed to admire: "Putting your sister on display to attract the attention of others, and you have become a little earl, Your Excellency Duke Tulip, your means are really clever, but unfortunately you didn't expect that my news would come so quickly" The king's tone gradually became solemn: "I don't hide your Excellency, your country is powerful, and it has always been a thorn in Sauron's side, how can I not pay close attention to the movements of your country from the messenger eagle in your country, It only takes four days to get the news to me across the Thundering Strait."
Speaking of this, the king finally closed his mouth, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, and quietly looked at Roddy in front of him.
Roddy took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, looking at the eyes of the king, Roddy suddenly laughed out loud.
His long smile filled every corner of the hall, and in the laughter, Roddy shook his head and looked helpless.
"It's really wonderful," Luo Di's laughter stopped: "Your Majesty, I have to feel very admired for your speculation, if it is really according to what you said, even I can't help but feel as if I can really only be Duke Tulip, but it's a pity that I am very" Luo Di pointed to his nose and shook his head: "I'm not" The king looked at Luo Di coldly: "Your Excellency Duke, do you still refuse to admit it?"
Luo Di deliberately smiled bitterly: "Duke Tulip is famous all over the world, and everyone is watching to tell the truth, I myself hope that I am, but I am not, that is also a fact" There was a bit of a sarcastic smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you severely punish your spies in our country" "Oh why" Roddy pretended to sigh and said, "Because although it is true that you reported that Duke Tulip was recuperating from his injuries and was not seen from anyone, he seems to have missed a piece of news."
Looking at the king's puzzled eyes, Luo Di said slowly: "Of course, this may not be to blame your secret agents, after all, they will only pay attention to those important movements according to your orders, and will not care about me, a little person, but if you order your secret agents to visit a little today, they will bring you a piece of news that is enough to dispel your doubts."
Luo Di pointed to his nose and smiled, "I, the commander of the Imperial Royal Guard, First Earl Luo Di."
At the same time, I am also the lover and fiancé of Miss Nicole, the eldest daughter of the Tulip family, although not many people know about it, but as long as you order a little visit, it should not be difficult to get the news" Roddy smiled even more happily: "If I were Duke Tulip, how could I be a couple with my sister" The king finally couldn't hold back a little, and frowned: "I really didn't get the news of the fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Tulip family, it's just" The king suddenly looked at Luo Di coldly: "So, there are two Miss Nicole here and in your country at the same time, what is the explanation?"
Luo Di said lightly: "Your Majesty, although this matter has nothing to do with you, but in order to understand the doubts in your heart, I might as well tell you frankly: Miss Nicole came here with me this time, it was a secret In fact, it is not suitable to come to the Roland Continent with her identity After all, you and I have just experienced a war, and Miss Nicole is noble, so naturally she can't come rashly."
His Majesty the Emperor also rejected her request.
It's just that she insists on going her own way, and she must come with me, which can't be persuaded, and the Duke has been obedient to his sister since he was a child, and Miss Nicole's meaning, even the Duke can't object to it, so we had to get a stand-in in the country, just to hide people's eyes and ears, so as not to be punished by His Majesty the Emperor. ” The king frowned, and his face finally changed a little.
It seems to be pondering Roddy's words.
In the king's heart, although Luo Di's explanation seemed very reasonable, he always felt that there was something wrong Luo Di bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the current situation is pressing, Your Majesty is so deliberately tracking down my identity, it is inevitable that he will be a little sacrificing."
The king thought for a moment, squinted at Roddy, and seemed to whisper: "I still believe that I can't be mistaken" Then the king of Sauron shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Whether it's a duke or an earl, since Mr.
Roddy doesn't want to delve into this matter, then we might as well put it aside" He absolutely insisted on his guess in his heart According to his own observation, this "Count Roddy" in front of him, he felt that the other party had an extraordinary bearing, and his expression and demeanor were very general-like, such a talent, in the Empire of Light, it was impossible to be just an obscure guy Just seeing Roddy explain reasonably, the king couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart.
What's more, even if the other party is Duke Tulip, since he is trying his best to hide his identity, why should he have to tear this layer of fig paper There are some things that everyone understands in their hearts, and if they hide a little, maybe it will work better Thinking of this, the king laughed and said loudly: "What the Earl said is reasonable" After a pause, he turned his gaze to the map under his feet again, and said lightly: "Since the Earl seems to have some troubles, then we might as well continue the topic just now, this dwarven cake" Roddy smiled reluctantly, as soon as he heard the "bitterness" that the king said, he knew in his heart that this king of Sauron was suspicious, and since the other party was suspicious of him, it was absolutely impossible to completely dispel the other party's doubts with his own words.
But since he was willing to skip the topic, Roddy was naturally in the right place.
"Okay, aside from the question just now, I'll just ask you one thing" The king is really a veteran of politics, his face changed very quickly, and in a moment, he has regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Roddy, are you willing to help me and seize this cake" After speaking, the scepter in his hand paused heavily on the ground, and it was inserted in the center of the dwarven kingdom on the map Luo Di didn't answer immediately, he seemed to look at the king carefully for a while, and then said lightly: "Your Majesty, do you think I should help you" His gaze was fixed on the king's face: "Getting this cake will naturally benefit the Sauron Kingdom immensely, but for our Bright Empire, it doesn't seem to make any sense."
The king smiled lightly, and there was a hint of a blade in his smile: "If I guessed correctly, your country agreed to this peace talks, in fact, it didn't have any noble purpose, your country's plan is nothing more than that you don't want the temple to really unify the entire Roland Continent, a divided Roland continent is much less threatening than a temple unified Roland Empire Your country promised to send back those hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, nothing more than hoping to make the battle between our Roland Kingdom and the temple happy."
Looking at the king's sharp gaze, Luo Di didn't give in, and said lightly: "Yes and what, no, what" He seemed to be sneering: "I just learned a sentence recently: There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world, Your Majesty, now our peace talks are just the needs of both sides, as long as it is in the interests of each other, what is the point of saying so much" Luo Di's tone gradually showed a little mockery: "If according to Your Majesty's statement, then your country secretly funded the Great Moon Kingdom to fight against our country, It doesn't seem noble."
"Hahahaha" The king burst out laughing a few times and shouted, "It's a good one: there are no eternal friends, there are no eternal enemies, I only ask you one thing now, if your Excellency is willing to help me" Seeing that Luo Di smiled silently, the king immediately understood, and said in a low voice: "The current matter of peace talks has been finalized, and the temple is torn in front of me, and the dwarf kingdom not only has a large area of iron and wood resources, but also hundreds of years of trade, which has allowed them to accumulate a lot of wealth, as long as they get this wealth, it will naturally be of great help to our next confrontation with the temple" Speaking of this, the king smiled and looked at Luo Di with deep meaning: "With your experience and eyes that have been through a hundred battles, you should understand that the so-called war, In fact, it's the consumption of money and food."
Roddy nodded.
The king continued to say loudly: "I don't know what method that old guy Promethean used, he was able to get the help of the dragon clan, although the dragon clan has never been involved in the affairs of the Roland continent, but this time he is willing to help the temple, this matter always makes me feel uneasy, the enemy's strength has increased by a point, and the threat to us has increased by a point As long as Sauron gets this cake, then those other kingdoms must obey my orders to gather forces together in order to resist the annexation of the temple Now this situation, As long as it is beneficial to us, why should you hesitate?"
Luo Di was secretly shocked by the king's ambition and boldness, and couldn't help but say: "Eating this cake may allow Sauron to consolidate his position as the leader of the Roland Kingdom, but at the same time, His Majesty doesn't seem to have considered another possibility" Luo Di looked at the king's eyes and said slowly, word by word: "Sauron is likely to provoke other kingdoms and become everyone's public enemy, and when the time comes, not only will he not be able to control and unite the forces of other kingdoms, I am afraid that he will be torn apart and infighting first."
The king didn't care about the sarcasm in Roddy's words, and said lightly: "I don't care about so much" He showed an extremely confident smile on his face: "I never believe that there is an absolutely perfect plan in this world, things are forced by the current situation, I have to gamble once, if I win the bet, I can rely on this cake, coercion and temptation, and firmly pull the power of other kingdoms in my own hands, so that a plate of loose sand becomes a condensed fist, such a temptation, how can I not be tempted" bet Roddy's gaze suddenly contracted, looking at the King of Sauron in front of him, and he couldn't help but have some complicated feelings in his heart.
This guy is very ambitious, and he actually devised such a bold plan that if it succeeds, it will be a step to the sky, and if it fails, it will be destroyed A careerist with a gambling mentality Luo Di actually had a little admiration in his heart, let out a long breath, and smiled: "In this case, what else do I have to say is that His Majesty must help me, but I can't think of what kind of help I can give you."
The king smiled: "This sneak attack, I will personally command the army, I hope that His Excellency Luo Di can go to sea with me, hehe, naturally my adviser, I hope you can give my army a wise command, lead them to victory" The king smiled as if with a little cunning: "I believe that such a thing is very beneficial to both you and me, you will not object."
Luo Di frowned: "You actually trust me so much to persuade me to command the army" The king shook his head: "Naturally, it can't really be handed over to you.
After all, you are not from the Kingdom of Sauron, but this time I will personally command the troops of His Excellency Roddy's order will be conveyed through me" It seemed to see that Roddy had some doubts, and the king smiled lightly: "I believe that with your brilliant achievements, you should not be able to live up to my expectations."
Knowing that it was useless to say anything now, Roddy gave the king a deep look, then bent down and bowed, and took his leave.

Seeing Luo Di go away, the door of the main hall slowly closed, the king suddenly let out a long breath, his face showed a little tired, he slowly walked back to his throne, hung his head and thought for a while, and suddenly whispered: "What do you think?"
In the shadow of the corner, the voice of the Sith master came out: "It is doubtful that this Luo Di is absolutely suspicious" The head of the Roland Continent Magician Association sighed: "I have carefully observed him, but with my strength, I can't see his depth, and my detection technique is completely ineffective against him" The king shook his head: "Then it is certain that he must be the one" After being silent for a while, Master Sith suddenly spoke: "You, have you really decided to gamble?"
"Yes," the king replied at once, "I will regret it if I miss it."
Master Sith suddenly chuckled in a low voice, his old voice seemed to carry a bit of sharp sarcasm: "Is your idea of trying so hard to fight the dwarves for those ironwood resources, wealth or" His voice gradually became a little ethereal: "Or is it to seize the legendary dwarves hundreds of years ago, the dwarves have the divine record?"
The king stood up suddenly, and Huo Ran changed color and said, "Master Sith, have you also heard about the Divine Record?"
The Sith's voice seemed to be a little cold: "The Wizards Association has a history of hundreds of years, and I always know something about those ethereal things" His tone gradually became fierce: "In order to deal with the temple, don't you ignore the curse about the Shenlu, even the temple was afraid of the curse of the Shenlu, and had to order to stop the war with the dwarves I warn you, the Shenlu must not appear on this continent, otherwise, it will not only bring disaster" The king laughed, and there was a bit of arrogance in his laughter: "Do you mean disaster, or destructionIf the temple succeeds, the first one to be destroyed in the end is me, and if I am destroyed, then I will not mind dragging everything with me to destroy."
Seeing that the king was laughing wildly, Sith's gaze revealed a somewhat complicated meaning, as if he was just talking to himself, he lowered his voice and said slowly: "Shenlu curse: invisible sky, invisible earth, invisible people Alas, back then, the dwarves threatened to destroy Shenlu, and the jade was burned, and even the temple did not dare to make a mistake, I think you guy, you guy, are really crazy" "The king has murderous intent on you" After listening to Roddy's account of today's experience in the palace, Seth said lightly.
Miao Si frowned, as if she was a little puzzled: "Killing Intent, even if the king doubts Luo Di's identity in his heart, he won't be stupid enough to turn against the Bright Empire now."
Seth shook his head, his tone was calm: "If what Roddy said is true, this King Sauron is an extremely adventurous person, Duke Tulip is an important surname for the Empire of Light, and a three-year-old child knows that if he can take this opportunity to kill Duke Tulip in one fell swoop, then for the Kingdom of Sauron, is there a better chance than this?"
Miao Si still didn't believe it: "Although this temptation is great, but now that the Sauron Kingdom needs to cooperate with the Bright Empire, he will not be stupid enough to offend such a great enemy in the south while facing the threat of the temple."
Seth glanced at Miaosi and said coldly: "A woman is a woman, and you can never understand the beauty of politics" Looking at Miaosi's eyes, Seth hurriedly continued: "Since Rodi bites himself to death, he is not the Duke of Tulip, then the king might as well be willing to continue to pretend to be stupid, anyway, when the time comes, Rodi will really be killed by him, then it will only be an earl who dies."
Just find a reason, just say that he was assassinated by the temple.
Even if the empire doesn't believe it, there is no evidence, let's talk about it, even if the empire really turns its face, will he be afraid of the Sauron Kingdom" He smiled and said: "What the Sauron Kingdom needs is just those hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, and after the hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war are in hand, even if they turn their faces with the Empire of Light, then how can the Empire of Light be blocked by the Thundering Strait anyway, even if the Empire of Light can fly over, isn't it that the current empire has the ability to launch a large-scale war."
Miao Si said coldly: "Then you might as well try it with our strength, even if the king has murderous intentions, can you help us?"
Seth was not annoyed at all, but smiled and said lightly: "I know that you are all strong, one is a great cultivator, and the other is a strong person in the realm, but no matter how strong you are, you are still a human being, as long as you are human, you must have weaknesses, and you must be strong in the realm, and you are not immortal," Seth suddenly sighed leisurely: "Everyone has weaknesses, no matter how strong a person is, he can't get rid of this, and he can't do it clearly, can't he think of other ways In the muddy water of politics, any despicable, shameless, and unsightly things can be done."
He suddenly looked at Roddy and frowned, "Did you tell the king that you are Miss Nicole's fiancé?"
Luo Di hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, that's how I explained it." ” "You explain this well, but I'm afraid it will hurt me miserably" Seth sighed, with a somewhat strange expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Then you listen, from now on, you have to spend a lot of effort to protect me, the king can't kill you The powerhouse in this field, won't you use your brain anywhere else, fool, my current identity is your fiancée, Miss Nicole."
Old Mark and Miaosi rolled their eyes at the same time, and the same thought flashed in their hearts: "You guy, you still need someone to protect you from provoking others, thank God" Roddy, who had been pondering, suddenly had a strange expression on his face: "Seth, what you just said suddenly reminded me."
"What" Luo Di suddenly smiled, he gently touched his chin, and smiled: "Didn't you say that anyway, there is a thundering strait to block it, and the Bright Empire can't fly over, right?"
Match head: "Yes, what's the matter" Luo Di stood up and said with a shallow smile: "Fly over the sea, it's not impossible."
