Some things, too normal, seem even more abnormal.
Ibeya, who lost her parents since she was a child and was abandoned by the royal family, should have hatred for the royal family of Rose and her grandfather, the king, and the king probably never took his mixed-race granddaughter to heart, if it weren't for Xiao Lin coming to remind him this time, probably he would never have thought of Ibeya.
Xiao Lin sat next to him and drank the tea brought by the maid, watching and listening quietly, but he felt more and more awkward, Ibeya's tone was normal, he did not see the joy of seeing his relatives, nor the anger of hatred, while the king asked about Ibeya's life over the years as if he was chatting about family life, and there was no pity or guilt in his tone.
Ibeya took the initiative to ask to see the king, although Xiao Lin knocked on the side on the way, but never got an answer, of course, Ibea did not see his grandfather for many years, and Ibeya, who was kicked out by the royal family, was absolutely not qualified and had the opportunity to enter the palace before.
But is Ibea just here to talk about family?
Xiao Lin could only listen patiently, and finally as the king's inquiry gradually came to an end, the two fell silent again, and after a few minutes, Ibeya took the initiative to speak, she blinked her bright and fluttering eyes, and asked in a very cold voice: "Actually, I asked Brother Xiao Lin to let me come here this time, just to ask you a question." ” "Is it about your mother?"
The king said.
"No, as I said earlier, I am grateful to my mother for bringing me into this world, but the only thing I remember of her is the portrait at home, my father raised me, but unfortunately he was also killed by the witchers five years ago."
After a pause, Ibeya's tone became even colder, even with a bit of a murderous aura: "You should know that because the Principality of Rose allows us dark families to live, it correspondingly does not allow demon hunters to enter the territory, why did the demon hunters appear at home five years ago, those witchers should be from the Shak Empire, the church of that empire is proud of hunting the dark race!"
” "What do you want to say?"
The king's eyes narrowed slightly.
Ibea took a deep breath, stared at the king, and said word by word: "Later, I quietly investigated, the church personnel of the Shak Empire at that time had a secret meeting with you, and after that, the Rose Royal Family suddenly obtained a large amount of funds from unknown sources, although at that time I doubted whether the Dawning Academy was also involved, but the investigation in Dawning City not long ago made me understand that the Dawning Academy has been kept in the dark so far, and I have to say that you are indeed very smart." ” Xiao Lin finally put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Ibeya in amazement, this girl's face was no longer as peaceful as before, and the delicate face was huddled together, revealing a thick hatred and hatred.
Xiao Lin vaguely understood.
As a vassal state of Dawning, Rose's financial power has always been under the supervision of Dawning diplomats, and the use of each fund will naturally be strictly supervised, Liang Taibai said that the king had thought of carrying out reforms to please the rule of Dawning Academy, and reform requires money, and this money cannot be taken out of the treasury bypassing the eyes of diplomats, so it can only be obtained from external sources, such as the support of the Shak Empire.
The Shak Empire is a great empire located in the north of the Norma world, a country ruled by a church, Xiao Lin doesn't know much, the biggest understanding is what Ibya said just now, this empire does hate the dark race, and their church has set up a demon hunting tribunal, and anyone who holds the corpse of the dark race can go to receive the corresponding reward.
And some dark families with names and surnames have been on the blacklist of this church very early, and hunting them will get more honor, of course, it goes without saying that a family like Saint Cro has existed since ancient times, and it can even be said unceremoniously that the reason why the Saint Cro family has declined so quickly in the past few hundred years is because too many people in the family have been hunted, and finally they have to move to the Duchy of Roses to live in seclusion.
He finally understood why this Lori was going to Dawn City.,This investigation is her real purpose.,Mother died since she was a child.,The father who depended on him was also killed.,Especially knowing that the assassination was still premeditated.,No one can accept it.。
Ibeya chose to investigate in person, and found out the truth, Xiao Lin looked at the king in shock and confusion, it was obvious that this old guy had exchanged the intelligence and life of his granddaughter's father for a large amount of money for his own reforms.
After finally saying all this, Ibea looked at the king and asked slowly, "I want to ask you to tell me, is all this I said true?"
” "Yes, I did it."
The king unexpectedly and happily confessed.
Ibeya trembled slightly, her fists gradually clenched, Xiao Lin's eyes were quick, she rushed up with an arrow step, slightly grabbed Ibeya's shoulder, and held Ibeya's right fist with her left hand at the same time, Ibeya resisted a little, but how could her strength be comparable to Xiao Lin, and was soon pulled in front of her by Xiao Lin's right fist, and forcibly broke it away.
In the palm of Ibya's white hand, there was a blade the size of a knuckle, the blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, but it shone with a faint blue cold light, and the attachment layer was an amazing flow of energy, Xiao Lin silently estimated that the quality of this blade was probably at least silver level, maybe even higher.
"Give it to me!"
Xiao Lin snatched the blade without saying a word, hearing what Ibeya said, how could he not guess that this little Lori was going to take revenge.
Ibeya glared at him and roared in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Lin, why did you stop me!"
” "Because he knows that although I deserve to die, I am not dying now, nor can I die at your hands."
The answer to this question was actually the king, who was sitting high on the throne, and at this moment he had gotten up and walked down slowly.
Xiao Lin pulled Ibeya behind him slightly as protection, and he suddenly strode forward, punching the king in the face, with his strength at the moment, facing the unsuspecting king, the power of this punch made the king fly more than ten meters away, and the entire throne fell with a bang.
The guards outside the door heard the noise and hurried in, but they looked at each other after seeing this scene, they didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Lin, but they didn't want to ignore their own king like this, and they weren't sure if Xiao Lin planned to kill the king here, if the king died, they would be buried with him anyway.
"I'm fine."
The king, however, had already stood up on his own, waved his hand calmly, and ordered the guards to retreat, while the right side of his face was already swollen and swollen with blood, and the corners of his mouth were foaming with blood, and it was even difficult to speak.
