Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 351 Imperial Capital Blood Night (3)

Luke sat in his study room and looked at the books in his hand with relish. Luke has always been busy with national affairs. Although he has collected a lot of books, he doesn't have much time to read. Now he is at home, he just reads these books to pass the time. .

"Master, there are guests asking to see you." A middle-aged man wearing a servant's clothes gently pushed open the door and said to Luke standing at the door.

Luke put down the book in his hand and said displeasedly: "Didn't I say that, no guests will be seen!"

"Why, don't you even see me?" A lady's voice came from outside the door, and Catherine in a magician robe walked in.

"Catherine... Your Majesty the Queen." Luke was surprised at the guests in front of him. Although he has not been out of the house recently, it does not mean that he is ignorant of the outside world. With his decades of management, there have been people doing it. He provided detailed information. Today is the day of the wedding of the king and the queen. Why did one of the protagonists come to him? Is there anything wrong?

Thinking of this, Luke quickly stood up, and Catherine had walked to the desk, found a chair casually and sat down, Christina stood silently behind Catherine, watching carefully.

"What's the matter?" Luke didn't greet him, and asked Catherine directly: "Otherwise you can't be here at this time."

Catherine said with a serious face: "Chad rebelled!"

Luke was startled, and said repeatedly: "How is it possible, what about your majesty?"

Catherine sighed and said: "The specific situation is still unclear, but it is very likely that..."

Luke sighed when he heard the news. Although Fernando XIII had removed his post, Luke did not complain too much. As a king, it is necessary to hold all power firmly in his hands, but it is a pity Fernando XIII is too uncomfortable. If it takes 10 years to do it slowly, the effect will definitely be better than it is now. Luke also saw this point of Fernando XIII and quietly stayed away from the court. He didn't want to seek rebellion, so he was destined to lose in this battle, and in desperation, he could only get out a little earlier.

Seeing Luke's silence, Catherine said, "Now that time is running out, Chad has already mobilized the garrison troops he can control in the Imperial Capital. The palace is surrounded by groups, so the news cannot be leaked. The magic circle sent directly to the barracks has been It is closed, but fortunately, another magic circle that only the Emperor knows about can still operate, but it can only be teleported to a place not far outside the palace."

Luke secretly worried about the current situation in his heart, but on the surface he only said indifferently: "Oh."

Seeing that Luke didn't seem to care, Catherine continued: "You are the only one who can save this empire now."

Luke shook his head and said, "I'm just a civilian now. It's too horrible to say that. Hey, people are getting older, and I just want to go back to my manor for a few days of peace. Let the young people do it."

Catherine ignored Luke’s refusal and said to herself: “Once Chad is in power, I’m afraid that tomorrow will cleanse the people in this city who might threaten him. The next step is to choose a young child to take the throne. Dominate. Luke, you don’t have to act as if it’s irrelevant to you. Do you remember the old king’s entrustment in your heart? Do you remember the vows you made when you were young? Chad rebelled. The king was martyrdom. At this moment, the future of the empire is gloomy. If you retreat at this time, not only will you be unable to protect yourself, but you will really bear the heart that Chad will continue to squeeze the poor who are struggling for survival?"

"Master Luke, for the empire, for the poor people in the empire, I, Catherine Randy, beg you as a queen, stand up. I admit that the empire has slowly fallen in 200 years, officials are corrupt, soldiers Lack of training, businessmen are profiteering, while poor people work hard for a day but barely make ends meet. All this is not impossible to change. Wait until the riot is put down, with your Luke talent, plus the support of Orlando and me, Can it not bring new vitality to this empire?"

Luke’s eyes were reddening slightly. He remembered his dream when he was young. For this dream, he failed to take good care of his wife and left his two daughters in the cold. No matter how hard he tried, he had the constraints of Chad and Fernando. The interference of the thirteenth generation is of no avail.I thought I would slowly move away from the center of power and find a quiet place to spend the rest of my life quietly. Unexpectedly, another thing happened now. The opportunity to change the destiny of this empire lies in front of him, and Luke also There is no other choice. Even if he escapes overnight, Sophie will definitely stand behind Orlando. Although the Royal Knights are extremely powerful, its supplies are provided by the Royal Neiku. Once Chad is controlled by a puppet The power of the empire, the consequences of many things can be known without even thinking about it.

Luke suddenly realized that he had not been so full of passion for a long time. He stood in front of Catherine and said firmly: "I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty Queen!"

Catherine sighed. With Luke's support, everything has turned for the better: "Please immediately mobilize all the forces you can control to block the main streets of the city. The Royal Knights will attack the palace as the main force. All actions are yours. Direct it yourself. In addition, I hope you can invite the Grand Mage Victor, because now the Grand Mage De Silva on Chad can only deal with him."

"As you wish, Your Majesty the Queen." Luke said loudly.

Catherine nodded solemnly, and said to Luke word by word: "The future of the empire, everything is up to you."

Victor watched Catherine leave Luke's study under the protection of Christina and 20 Luke's subordinates, and he slowly walked out of the hiding place, and then walked into Luke's study.

When Luke saw Victor coming in, he said to him: "Victor, Chad is rebelling. I will follow the Queen's order to quell the rebellion. I hope you can take action against De Silva."

Victor sighed and said, "You finally got away from the center of power. Are you going to get involved again?"

Luke waved his arm vigorously and said confidently: "For the sake of the future of the empire, I can't stop here."

Victor sighed again and said: "Every dynasty rises, someone will say such a set of high-sounding words, even Fernando I, who was born as a holy knight, is no exception, but which dynasty has truly achieved this. What?"

Luke resolutely said: "It's human work!"

Victor seemed to only sigh. He sighed again and said, "I know it's useless to say anything now. With our friendship, even if you are about to destroy this empire, I will support you."

Luke patted Victor's shoulder hard and said, "Old friend, thank you! But I think I might be able to break the curse of history and truly bring peace and happiness to the people of this empire."

Seeing Victor still wanting to sigh, Luke smiled and said, "Okay, time is running out. Her Majesty the Queen has already rushed to the barracks, and I will also go to command the army to counter the rebellion. We will talk about it at dawn tomorrow. Right." After speaking, Luke walked out firmly.

Victor looked at Luke's back and whispered: "It seems that Catherine's influence cannot be avoided even for you. Hey, a woman who has the ability to'natural charm', is this really an ordinary person? ...Well, what do I care about it, as long as the people close to me are fine."

Chad sat in the royal banquet hall at a loss. The bright sunlight outside the window had been shining in through the gaps in the screens. The sunlight that had originally made people feel warm and comfortable, but Chad's heart kept sinking.The screams came from far away from time to time, and the source of the sound was getting closer, which made Chad even more flustered.

"Report!" A bloody messenger stumbled in and ran in: "Oh, my lord, the Royal Knights have breached our third line of defense and will soon be here. I, we can't stop it!"

When Chad heard the news, he suddenly laughed and said loudly at the corpse of Fernando XIII lying on the ground: "Look, look, your beautiful woman, she brought someone to save you."

"Unexpectedly, Chad would end up like this." Chad smiled and burst into tears: "Why, why! Why would an assassin come to assassinate you, as long as Luke fades out of the imperial power center, another two years I'll be enough to take you off, and then you can hold your woman in bed and dream of your conquest."

"My lord, my lord?" Seeing Chad's madness, the bloody messenger said hesitantly: "Let's run away, maybe it's too late."

"Escape?" Chad stopped crying when he heard these words, and turned around and said: "This night of shopping, my army was wiped out. Even if I escape, I can only be like a mouse. Hiding in front of the empire’s wanted order! Without power, status, and money, what does it mean for me to live?"

There was a rush of footsteps outside, and the door of the royal banquet hall was kicked open. A group of people walked in with Luke: "Chad, you assassinated your Majesty the king with intent to rebel. You are not obediently surrendering now! "

When Chad heard these words, he shouted: "No, I didn't assassinate Your Majesty, I didn't." At this point, he rushed towards Luke desperately, but was held firmly by the guards beside Luke. Catch.

Luke waved his hand. The guard released Chad. Chad was unsteady and fell in front of Luke. Chad couldn't stand up, crawling directly on the ground, holding Luke. The thigh said: "Luke, you and I have been together for more than ten years. Yes, I am very greedy for money and want to take power, but I will never assassinate your Majesty! I can use the God of Light..."

Luke bent down and patted Chad on the shoulder, interrupting Chad's words, then Luke slowly squatted down and whispered in Chad's ear: "I know, but someone must die for your majesty. Responsible, isn't it? Of course, this person can't be me, but who else can be in the Imperial Capital besides me?"

Chad said bitterly: "I, I understand. Just one thing, my son, he, he doesn't know anything..."

"It doesn't matter, old friend." Luke said with a smile, "I will find many people to prove that he knows."

"no, you can not……"

Chad didn’t finish speaking, Luke waved his hand, and someone dragged Chad down. Luke stood in front of Fernando XIII’s body and said in a voice that only he could hear: "I will prove it to you. Look, only I can save this old empire!"
