Chapter 306 Queen Margaret

Chapter 306 Queen Margaret
late at night.

Jiang He followed the courtier into the Red Castle. The corridor was deep and long. Every thirty steps, there would be a Constructed Knight on duty guarding the left and right. The Royal Capital Knights had a total of two thousand Constructed Knights, who were usually responsible for the safety of the Red Castle. Including the captain and three deputy captains, all of them belonged to the king's personal army.

"Mr. Anol, please wait here." The courtier said, then stepped back and skillfully disappeared into the shadows.

Jiang He looked around. The red carpet under his feet was soft and thick. On the walls on both sides, there were portraits hanging. One of them was very new in ink and was called "Peaceful Red Castle". The expressions of everyone in the painting were lifelike.

Jiang He looked towards the king. The other's smile seemed frozen in time. It was wanton, arrogant and ostentatious. According to the current situation he had seen in the capital, the king's power had gone out of control.

With the military support of the gold giant, Henry VI could be said to be unscrupulous. The transfer of the York colony might just be a test of the extent of his own power.

Deng Deng Deng!
At the fork in the corridor, Si Ning walked quickly with her skirt lifted up by both hands, and her high-heeled boots made a crisp sound when they touched the ground.

The palace-style long skirt revealed part of her shoulders and an extremely delicate collarbone, but unfortunately her figure was still too thin and poor. Even her lovely peach-like breasts could not support the true beauty of the skirt.

"On the third hour after I entered the Red Castle, someone told me that you were involved in a theft of arms. This is not the sea. The five upper nobles, three knight commanders, and the royal elders, the king can gather ten peak silver warriors to beat you up."

Si Ning was slightly annoyed, "Do you think you are invincible?"

"Nothing serious happened." Jiang He said calmly, "At least it was acceptable in terms of appearance. In theory, the garrison team could not transport so much ammunition. As soon as I got involved, the queen sent someone to invite me. The relationship was very clear."

Si Ning was too lazy to argue with him. Since the other party could carry a second-class cruiser with him for storage, it would not be difficult for him to take away the munitions.

"Come with me, I hope you can still get that coffin out."

The two walked through the corridor and came to a garden. The shadows of the trees spread in the night. The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. The breeze blew gently, bringing a faint floral scent. There were red roses blooming like blood everywhere.

In the pavilion at the end of the cobblestone road, a beautiful woman in palace dress was sitting elegantly, her soft figure fully revealed and a large area of ​​whiteness jumping out before her eyes. Si Ning didn't know what that person was thinking, but she felt a lot of pressure anyway.

Two armored knights were guarding on either side, both of whom were elites rarely seen in the outside world. Queen Margaret spoke softly, her voice gentle and pleasant.

"I want to meet that person."

Jiang He snapped his fingers, and a pool of flames suddenly appeared on the ground, and the jewel coffin slowly rose from it. This method of flame → simple field → taking out the portable temple was just a small trick.

In the crystal clear coffin, the sleeping face of the Moon Elf is beautiful and peaceful. Her skin seems to emit a faint fluorescence, presenting a beauty that seems to be carefully crafted by the world.

Queen Margaret's expression changed from amazement, jealousy to hesitation. The other party was the first queen of the Stuart Kingdom and was deeply loved by the king. The existence of the Moon Elf was the most deadly threat to her, which could destroy her current status at any time.

"So, Cecilia, you're going to use her to bring me to my knees?" Margaret said.

"There's nothing I can do about it." Si Ning scratched his head. "You know, I'm His Majesty's butcher knife. I can meet him directly, but I didn't do that. I betrayed my father for you. What a sincere act."

"Let's take a step back and say that if I give this thing to the nobles, the benefits I can get in exchange are self-evident. You should at least let me make a profit without losing money."

Si Ning smiled and said, "The most important thing is that we have no intention of making you surrender. We are just working closely and consistently together."

Margaret deadpanned, "I don't think so."

The two men hold the coffin in their hands and can make her roll back to the Bourbon Kingdom at any time. This cooperation is not equal at all.

Margaret waved her hand, and the two elite knights took steps forward in unison, with swords drawn from their waists. As long as they killed the two men, the matter of the coffin would naturally disappear into thin air.

"Hey, you don't know the current situation." Si Ning smiled arrogantly.

Without any communication, in an instant, her flower sword eyes turned, and the imaging technology that had been used on the battlefield of the Somme appeared again.

Jiang He was in full swing, and the imaging technology made him disappear from the sight of everyone present.

With an extreme speed that completely surpassed that of the Silver Elite, in the brief trance when he lost sight of the target, Jiang He came in front of the armored knight and kicked him in the chest.

boom!
The perfect-grade Death Boots increase the power of the direct kick to the maximum, releasing the violent force.

The Great Knight's constructed armor exploded and flew around, like bullets splattering countless roses. The Boots of Death completely destroyed the defense, and the elite Great Knight exploded into a bloody mist with a loud bang.

The violent storm swept around, and another great knight was forced to stand in front of Queen Margaret. The fragments of flesh and bones from the impact hit him with a crackling sound. For creatures below the silver level, the aftermath alone was enough to be fatal.

Margaret looked up at the personal guards in disbelief. She knew that Cecilia was an elite knight and the first captain of the garrison was an ordinary knight, so she did her best to temporarily mobilize two elite guards. She thought it was foolproof, but in the end one of her own was killed instantly.

"Let's sit down and talk if you have anything to say." Margaret tried to remain calm and dignified.

Si Ning chuckled, "It's too late."

The sound of Zhenbu's steps was like thunder. The close guard stared at the strong wind that had not yet subsided in front of him. He could not see the enemy's body, but he could detect its movements from the changes in the wind. The death of his colleagues bought time, and the true form of the three-headed demon wolf was revealed.

call!
A strong wind blew in my face.

The personal guard used the Wyatt family's magic wolf sword technique, Wolf Bite. With the help of the magic wolf's true form, the biting power of this sword was extremely impressive, and the ground in front of him cracked like a net.

Tear it apart!

The knight's sword pierced the enemy's heart.

But the strange feeling from the sword made the close guards change color.

The image ended, and the thing that was pierced by the knight's sword turned out to be a human-shaped blood shadow.

"Behind me!" Margaret screamed. She couldn't see the battle situation clearly, but she seemed very smart.

He felt a sharp stabbing sensation of death from the back of his head. His personal guard turned around and slashed horizontally, but the sword only cut off the afterimage.

puff!

The human-shaped blood shadow disappeared at some point, and a hand knife stabbed into the heart of the personal guard from behind.

The more complete and fresh the corpse is, the stronger its vitality is.

Jiang He absorbed the blood from his heart for the umpteenth time, and the ultimate level of blood poison rose to LV12.

Margaret slid down from her seat, her face pale, she breathed heavily, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Si Ning walked closer, lowered his head and smiled: "You shouldn't have taken the initiative. Such a big commotion didn't attract anyone. Let me guess what it is."

Jiang He collected the body of his personal guard, shook off the blood on his hands, then walked to the side and took out a sip of the dragon blood wine.

From the queen's perspective, she didn't want too many people to know about the existence of the coffin, but she also didn't want to keep this threat, so she chose to take action. But since she chose to solve the problem violently, it meant that all the troubles that might arise in the whole process had been dealt with.

No strangers would pass by, no sound would be heard, and no court officials would come to ask for permission to perform.

When the personal guard took a step forward, the two realized this, and the equal cooperation that had been prepared was immediately invalidated, and the queen personally gave away the opportunity.

"B-rank secret treasure...Silent Waves." Margaret swallowed nervously, "Usually he likes me to yell loudly, but he doesn't want the guards to hear."

Si Ning snatched the sapphire ring from the other person's finger, and she turned to look at someone who was walking towards her.

"Sound is transmitted through vibrations."

"You can spread it however you want, but the stuff has to be given to me."

"Nani! It should be at least 30% and 70%."

"I killed both of them."

"Yes, you enjoyed the kill, so the spoils should belong to me."

Jiang He snatched the fine-grade gem ring from the opponent and gave it to Wuhe who was sneaking in to investigate. For the players who like to assassinate secretly, this silent secret treasure is very useful.

Margaret looked at Cecilia, who was sulking alone, and the masked man who had seized the secret treasure, and said tentatively, "My dowry is generous, but it's only enough for one person..."

Suddenly, Jiang He reached out and pulled him off the chair and threw him to the ground, lowering his eyes and saying coldly: "Don't do it again."

Si Ning looked at the queen in surprise. Why did this guy think that a sophisticated item was worth their turning against each other? It had to be at least an S-level secret treasure that could bring decisive improvements to the current situation.

Queen Margaret fell to the ground, her delicate skin scratched and bleeding. She looked at the two men in horror. Although her reason told her that she would never die tonight, these two guys did not seem like people with whom she could communicate in a friendly manner.

puff!
Jiang He stabbed a finger into the queen's shoulder, and the ultimate blood poison was poured into her body in the form of a small withered sword finger. The fierce poison was ready to erupt at any time, and the dosage and amplitude were all controllable.

"A titled knight can probably eliminate this poison easily, but unfortunately, you, who are not even an apprentice knight, cannot withstand the golden energy entering your body. Anyway, try it first to see how salty it is."

Jiang He stood up, and instantly a very thin trace of poison burst out from the wound. The queen, like a live fish that had been chopped several times on a chopping board, began to frantically practice half-length sit-ups on the ground. Her almost popped eyeballs ruined her originally extremely charming beauty.

"I'm going to kill... you all!"

"Bitch...two bitches!"

"what!!"

Si Ning sneered, "As expected of a young lady from a noble family, your attack power is so poor."

The night is quiet.

In just half a quarter of an hour, the queen stared at the night sky with empty eyes like a dead fish, and her gorgeous palace dress was already soaked with sweat.

Jiang He helped her to the chair and comforted her with a rare smile: "If you had been obedient from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many troubles tonight." "Hmph." The queen snorted with red eyes.

"I'm giving you face."

"what!!"

There was another half-minute-long wailing.

Si Ning called for a halt this time, "Enough is enough, she may not be able to withstand the next round, and it's almost half an hour, this guy's arrangement may not last too long."

The queen usually has no less than a hundred personal servants and guards, and sending them away with reasonable excuses is only a temporary solution.

Behind Jiang He, a pool of fire appeared on the ground and Ah Si walked out of it.

"I'll leave the queen to you. Report everything to Wuhe, including what she eats and uses, who she talks to, and how many words she says. She will definitely find a chance to commit suicide. Keep an eye on the secret messages in the notes or letters."

"clear."

The more Margaret listened, the more desperate she became.

Si Ning consoled her, "You are the legitimate queen, and we are both your subjects. We have chosen the three-year-old ninth prince as the heir. He is young, and you will be the regent at that time, and you will have unlimited glory."

Margaret raised her head stubbornly. "The Ninth Prince is ranked twelfth in the order of succession. If we want him to take the throne, first of all, the king's recognition and appointment are indispensable. Secondly, the first, second, and third princes must die. And Princess Eleanor is also born to a moon elf. She is ahead of the Ninth Prince in the order of succession."

Si Ning patted her shoulder and said, "The First Prince's body is cold. The appointment of the King is left to you. We will deal with the other heirs, especially Eleanor. Everyone knows that she doesn't like me. You can rest assured."

"Maybe." Margaret lowered her head.

……

Inner city of the royal capital, castle.

The atmosphere in the second prince's bedroom was dead silent.

The ministers remained silent. Although the prince promised that they could leave, no one took it seriously. For such a major reform, considering the risk of leaks, anyone who left would become the enemy of all members and would be killed without a burial place.

Boom boom boom!
The third deputy commander of the Royal Capital Knights, who was in charge of the security of the Red Castle, walked in and whispered in the prince's ear.

"...Annor Yeruvic entered the capital today and was promoted to captain of the first garrison team..."

"…Lord Johnny's killer went straight to the armory, and no clear motive was found…"

"…There are no signs of large-scale transportation in the southeastern part of the inner city…"

"...Princess Cecilia and a captain met with the queen...The Privy Council approved a mandate and appointed Anor as the deputy governor of the royal treasury and the minister of the rose garden guard..."

The second prince lowered his head and pondered. The royal treasury is the royal family's treasure house, which is managed by the captain of the royal capital's knights, a top knight. The captain's family is only loyal to the king. If you want to open the royal treasury, the king must be present in person. There are not only several A-level secret treasures in it, but also an S-level secret treasure that has been passed down in the royal family for hundreds of years - the Storm, which is equivalent to the Deyok family's Ten Thousand Thunders.

"It seems that my sister Cecilia is just like Eleanor, unwilling to be inferior to others." The second prince said gloomily. If the queen wanted to be appointed as the deputy governor of the royal treasury, she would have to do her best. This was no longer a simple exchange of interests, but an alliance.

The third deputy captain said respectfully, "Your Highness, if something happens to the Red Castle, the captain must abide by the royal ancestral precepts and guard the treasury. My two colleagues and I are willing to support you at all costs. Two thousand construct knights are waiting for your orders."

Among the three most elite knightly orders in the royal capital, the Storm Knights are stationed outside the city, the Red Rose Knights are stationed in the inner and outer cities, and the Royal Capital Knights are stationed in the Red Castle to protect the king's safety.

Each knightly order has one chief, three deputy chiefs and four commanders, among which the leader must be a top knight.

"This is the best news I have heard tonight." The second prince invited the deputy captain to sit down. He looked around at everyone and said, "The Guards and Storm Troops can be ignored for the time being. The captain of the capital will have responsibilities to fulfill at that time. I plan to go to the Red Rose Knights' headquarters in person."

"Your Highness, Red Rose has a hot temper. This action is somewhat dangerous."

"She is His Majesty's lover. Last year, His Majesty promoted Princess Eleanor from an illegitimate daughter to his legitimate wife. This may have given Red Rose an illusion."

"Red Rose really dares to kill the King's Blood. Even if she is the sister of the Moon Elf, she does not have such unparalleled beauty. Your Majesty now has Margaret."

Everyone was talking about it.

The Second Prince looked towards his most trusted advisor.

"Black Marquis, what do you think?"

Beside the fire, a man covered in a cloak said, "Your Highness, Red Rose is His Majesty's lover, but the whole thing was forced. Red Rose left the alien city-state to find the queen, and His Majesty was delighted to see her, so Princess Eleanor was born."

"Normally, Red Rose should hate Your Majesty, but I think her feelings are very complicated. After all, Your Majesty is her daughter's father. I don't think it's rational to pin such a big hope on a woman's emotions."

"I personally think we can give some hints and issue some combat missions to keep Red Rose away from the capital. Her inner confusion will make her drift with the tide. We have enough combat power for her, and we can't let her become a problem. Let this lover get lost in her emotions. When she makes up her mind, everything will be settled."

Without any hesitation, the second prince said, "Then I'll listen to you."

The ministers all had their own thoughts, and His Highness's trust and reliance on the Black Marquis reached an unimaginable level.

"Everyone, since no one has left, the success or failure of the summer hunt will depend on this one."

……

early morning.

Si Ning and Jiang He returned to the villa.

There has been no result yet on last night's arms theft and lord's murder case. After Viscount Norris, the head of the arsenal, voluntarily confessed his guilt, the Vice Privy Councillor ordered his execution. The process was rushed and the formalities were sloppy, so the matter ended in nothing.

The garrison commander's villa had a military style, with small doors and windows and dim light. It looked more like a warehouse or a prison. There were no servants, housekeepers or cooks.

"The Ninth Prince is being fostered at the Duke of Nak County's home. It will take two or three days to send him back. Do you want to go pick him up?"

Si Ning was lying on the sofa, sipping a glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice in one hand. The long palace dress she wore to make for a formal occasion had long since been changed into a hunting suit that was more convenient for movement.

The Ninth Prince is not in the royal capital, but in Nak County west of the royal capital. Fostering is a court means of winning over ministers, and later gradually developed into a ritual. Generally, fostered royal bloodlines are not taken seriously, and it is more like a statement of the royal family to loyal ministers.

"I'm busy." Jiang He refused.

Si Ning sat up lazily, "You have time to enrich yourself, but you are busy with work, right? If you don't go, I won't go either."

Before Jiang He could speak, there was a knock on the door.

Si Ning lay back down and took out a book on elementary spiritual witchcraft from his item bag.

Jiang He opened the door and saw the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce standing at the door. Guards were carrying large wooden boxes into the villa.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Anol. Here are all the materials that the Queen sent."

"Nice to meet you." Jiang He shook hands with the other party. When he was a pirate, the Royal Chamber of Commerce was the main target.

The vice president did not linger for too long. After a series of operations by the Mad King, the sensitivity of the nobles and merchants in the capital had greatly increased, and it was obvious that a storm was brewing in the capital recently.

Jiang He checked the goods one by one. He could now contact Ah Si through Dawn Intelligence and issue instructions to Queen Margaret. These large wooden boxes were filled with raw materials for the Gray Horse Potion, with a total value of 800,000 gold coins, which could produce 8,000 finished products. This basically covered all the corresponding stocks in the capital in a short period of time. The most important thing was that he didn't have to spend a single penny.

“I smell money.”

Si Ning crawled off the sofa like a caterpillar, curling and stretching all the way forward. She crawled around the big wooden box, looked up and said, "You can also make the Red Rose Potion. I'll buy it with game coins."

"There must be a formula." Jiang He said. He didn't think the rose potion formula would be circulated on the market. The red and white rose breathing method was in the hands of powerful forces. This kind of thing involves fundamental things. As long as the head of the family has normal intelligence, he will know that it must be held tightly in his hands.

Si Ning sat cross-legged on the spot, biting his fingers in deep thought. The red rose potion was usually distributed by royal elders. It would be difficult to get the formula, but it was not completely impossible.

Jiang He brought the materials back to the room, where Lao Hei and Wu He were seriously performing various movements to strengthen their bodies.

Compared with the Demon Wolf and Hunting Falcon Breathing Methods, the former comes from the Wyatt family and is obviously more comprehensive, but the latter can also support to the peak silver stage.

During this period, with an adequate supply of potions, Lao Hei and Wu He both cultivated a second Dou Qi vortex. However, due to the lack of gluttony, they were unable to use resources wantonly, and their cultivation speed was limited to the normal limit.

Jiang He didn't say a word to interrupt him. He opened the boxes one by one and made potions. Basically, he could digest them after taking them.

One potion after another was quickly made and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

[Hint: Your alchemist profession is upgraded to quasi-alchemist master (the effect of refined products is increased by 30%)]
"Quasi-alchemist master, what is that?"

When the 8,000th potion was refined, as Jiang He relaxed his mind, he heard the origin prompt sound.

An alchemist is an alchemist, a master is a master, and a quasi-alchemist sounds like a dilettante.

Jiang He opened the prompt on the panel. The content of the origin prompt was actually very complicated, but it was basically easy to understand when reduced to the surface.

[Note: This reserve alchemist has a high level of experience and skills, but lacks innovation and iconic products]
Jiang He closed the panel. He didn’t have time to research the secret recipe from scratch.

The first potion was poured down his throat. The extraordinary factors extracted, fused and reshaped from the materials were perfectly matched with the Gray Horse Breathing Method. The speed and frequency of breathing were greatly accelerated, and the power of gluttony quickly drained the nutrients of the potion.

Jiang He continued to drink the potion, and a low rumbling sound like a tide came from his body, and the blood in his body seemed to be flowing rapidly.

By the time all the potions were used up, just two days had passed before the final ninth fighting spirit vortex successfully emerged.
