"I'll explain it to you later when I have time." Zhang Mu said, while mobilizing his magic power to light up all the mobile phones in the cardboard box and call up the video. "Send it to the city lord and tell them to click the play button."
He pointed at the translucent triangle in the center of the phone screen. Soran glanced at it and nodded to indicate that he understood. Then he asked:
"Give it to the city lords... won't there be any problems?"
After all, the hundreds of city lords living in the hotel are not of the same mind, and most of them are Andre's men.
If just one person leaked the information to Andre, it would bring them into great trouble.
For example, Andre led the guards to forcibly arrest everyone on the charge of slandering the reputation of the royal family and the two grand dukes.
If they don't resist, they will be like meat on the chopping board once they are put in jail.
If they resisted, Jarvis would not have to wait until the end of the month to duel with Zhang Mu. He could just use magic to blow them into pieces on the spot in the name of "violating the church's ban".
Zhang Mu smiled slightly: "Just take it."
The city lord smiled confidently, and Sauron said no more, picking up the cardboard boxes to distribute mobile phones.
As soon as he left the house, Zhang Mu immediately ordered Mi He: "Go to the hotel gate and watch how many people go out."
Mih nodded, but stood still. After a second, his figure slowly disappeared.
"Tsk, the speed technique is really useful."
Domit scratched his head: "Marshal, if you want to learn, Mr. Mihe will not refuse."
"It's delayed now, wait till you're free."
Shortly after setting out from Gul, Zhang Mu planned to let Mih orally tell him how to speed up after listening to the information told by Soran.
As a result, he first met Palina, who dug a hole and buried herself under the road, waiting for an opportunity to climb onto a car.
Just as she was settled down, she was blocked by Blois again.
After that, I stayed in the same carriage with him all the way to the royal capital.
During the last one and a half months of the journey, Zhang Mu did not find the time to learn the art of speed running.
The two people in the room were not chatting, but sitting at the table waiting quietly.
Half an hour later, Soran came back with an empty cardboard box and said that he had delivered all the messages.
Half an hour later, Mih appeared in the living room holding a staff and told about his observations.
Ten minutes after Soran sent the message, five city lords left the hotel one after another.
According to regulations, the city lord is not allowed to go out during the performance review meeting, but Andre has given an order that his people can ignore, so the guards let them pass.
After listening, Soran said: "Lord City Lord, His Highness Andre will be here in two hours at most. What is your prepared response?"
Zhang Mu did not answer but asked: "How long does it take to get from the hotel to Andre's Palace?"
"One hour."
If they flew, it would take at most ten minutes to get there, but flying was prohibited in the royal capital, so they could only walk like ordinary people.
"Okay, I got it." Zhang Mu got up and went into the bedroom, "Let's wait for all the city lords to come to the meeting in the evening."
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what he was talking about, and unable to ask, so they had no choice but to follow him.
…………
Royal Palace, Andrei Palace.
Maura was one body length behind Avril, walking slowly along the corridor.
Looking forward, she caught a glimpse of the princess's elegant back and muttered to herself that she had been shopping for a whole day.
They left the palace early yesterday morning, and did not travel around most areas of the capital until late at night when the streets were deserted.
Maura thought that it was probably time for Her Royal Highness the Princess to return.
Who would have thought that even though all the shops on the street were closed and the lights were off, Avril was still walking through the streets and alleys with great interest, as if she was getting to know this city where she had lived for more than 20 years for the first time.
Until dawn.
The capital was too big, and Avril didn't manage to visit every corner of it.
When the streets became sparsely populated in the early morning, her shoulders slumped in disappointment and she turned toward the palace.
When she returned to the palace, Maura was surprised to find that Avril did not go back to her place, but came to Andre's palace.
It seemed as if they had agreed on it a long time ago. The guard did not follow the procedure of stopping people, informing them, and then letting them in. He was like a sculpture, standing still and letting the two people go in.
When Mora opened the door to Andre's study and saw Andre sitting behind the desk and the Second Prince sitting beside him, her previous guess was confirmed.
They did agree.
"How's the morning in the capital?" Andre put down the quill he was writing on and looked at the two people who walked through the door.
"If you want to know, go and see for yourself." Avril sat next to Biayaou. "Everyone is here. You asked us to come. What do you want to say?"
Andre raised his eyelids and ordered Maura, who was standing behind her: "Stand back."
Maura didn't react and just stood there.
"Maura, go back first."
"As ordered."
The maid with twin ponytails backed out of the room and closed the door behind her.
The footsteps gradually faded, and Andre slowly spoke: "A very loyal subordinate."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm busy." Avril's tone was full of impatience.
Bi Yaou spoke at the right time: "Brother Wang, you suddenly invited us here, what's the matter?"
He was still somewhat tolerant towards his two blood-related brothers and sisters.
Without getting hung up on the two people's alienated attitudes, Andre got straight to the point: "The church ban will be lifted soon. Do you know about this?"
The two were silent, and he nodded: "I don't need to emphasize that this is the root cause of the destruction of the Ice and Snow Empire?"
As a royal heir, Avril had to learn how the ice and snow empire collapsed, and she was no exception.
She pressed the low table beside her, and her palms angrily emitted icy mist. In an instant, the low table was tightly wrapped in ice. "I said, stop talking nonsense."
Biaou looked at her worriedly, the negative impact of the secret technique became serious again.
Andre shrugged: "As you wish."
After thinking for a while, he said, "I have confirmed with Bishop Jarvis that the Knight Law is no longer a taboo. Lake... no, Ice and Snow, the Ice and Snow Empire can expand the Griffin Legion as it pleases in the future."
"What does this have to do with us?" Biao was confused.
"We are the only ones left in the royal family, and the revival of the empire cannot be accomplished by me alone. I hope..."
Before he could finish his words, Avril decisively stood up and walked out of the house: "Your hypocrisy is really disgusting."
Piaou didn't hesitate and followed her and left together.
The two figures disappeared through the door, and Andre sighed: "This is the last mercy as a brother."
Oh, are you still counting on Potter to come back?
The corner of his mouth raised in a mocking arc.
hypocritical?
When it comes to hypocrisy, I am far worse than my father.
Potter was deceived by him, and the two Grand Dukes were also played and applauded. Father, you are really...
Recalling the inside story that Jarvis revealed to him, even Andre couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Porter's journey to a foreign country was inseparable from the help of Blois, and Blois was naturally instructed by the king.
When Andre first learned that Porter would be surrounded and annihilated in a foreign country, he found it difficult to understand.
After all, he is Lake's only divine blessing at present, and he is not far from becoming an epic.
Why would the king want to break his arm, and why would Blois approve of it?
Later, when Jarvis contacted him, he realized that it was all a conspiracy planned by the king himself.
Blois agreed for the simple reason that he had been deceived.
What the king told him was that if he kept Potter in a foreign country for a while and waited for him to come back, everything would be settled.
In fact, the king had no intention of letting anyone return to the capital alive.
And he is willing to sacrifice his own strength, of course, because there is enough reward.
Someone from that church promised to help him become epic.
If an outsider heard this, he would definitely feel puzzled. Compared to a promise that someone might break, isn't Porter, a real top-level divine blessing, more reliable?
But Andre knew his father too well.
He is a qualified king.
King, only trust yourself.
Even if Potter served the royal family loyally all his life, the king would not completely trust him.
That’s why there was a blood sacrifice and that dirty deal.
Andre woke up from the gray memory scene and took a deep breath: "You are a man of great talent, but you forgot that there are gods in the Sol Continent.
God has forsaken you."
"Hehe...blood sacrifice...it's really cruel...I will just accept it without hesitation."
"咚咚-"
A knock on the door interrupted his fantasy: "Come in."
A guard walked in and said, "Your Highness, several city lords have requested to see you."
At this moment?
It was during the performance review meeting. Although I gave them travel authority, I thought that they would not use it at will unless it was something important.
Andre asked, "Did you say anything?"
The guards quickly repeated the words of the city lords.
