Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 551 Undercurrent (2)

In this case, the administrative efficiency of the entire imperial capital has gradually become extremely low invisibly. Luke deliberately finds a few guys to punish him, but the other party is not a fool, and he won’t do too much to get the fire. Catherine kept pacifying the Royal Family of Fernando and Luke, hoping that they would put the overall situation first and not undermine the rare stability of the imperial capital.

People who can become officials and possess some real power are of course not fools. They are not good at doing serious things, but they are very good at internal friction, so that what they should do is not diseased.It also makes it difficult for others to find out. After all, this country is already weakening like an old man, and many things are no longer as clear and black as when Fernando I was founded. After 200 years of changes, the difference between black and white Then there is a clear distinction, but another area slowly appears, that is, gray.

After all, Luke is just one person. He cannot support the government affairs of the entire empire. In order to make a country run effectively, Luke can only appoint people to be responsible for all aspects.Not only Luke, but all countries on this continent are like this. No matter how wise the king is, it is impossible to have enough energy and time to do everything. The best way is to decentralize and use necessary means to carry out the released power. Supervise, let the right people do the right things, remove the unqualified people, and keep the whole organization running.

At the beginning, Luke was looking forward to Catherine’s mediation. After all, Luke didn’t plan to do too much. But after several times of mediation, Luke found that the Fernando officials were still ill-advised, and daily administrative affairs. The internal friction is still serious, so I made up my mind to teach these pesky guys severely.

As a result, Luke began to pretend to be helpless. He no longer demanded strict government affairs, and gradually lowered the requirements for the officials of the Fernando faction... Luke's pretence made Henikos and others ecstatic. They They think that their non-cooperative plan has achieved great results, and their joy has affected the people around them.

Under Luke’s deliberate indulgence, the members of the Fernando family began to lose their vigilance. Many arrogant children of the royal family thought that Luke was afraid of his royal identity, and they gradually returned to before the war. Fernando XIII was still there. That kind of scenery at the time.

The long-awaited opportunity for Luke finally appeared. A son of the Fernando royal family, when he ran wildly with his servant in the imperial capital, because he drove his horse into the market, he didn’t stop in time and knocked over. Many stalls and knock down nine civilians one after another, resulting in seven deaths and two injuries.

Luke was overjoyed when he learned about this. He changed his low-key posture and personally led the elite troops of the Jonas Legion to come forward. From another street, he took the perpetrator of this composure, that is, Henikos. The only grandson was caught.When Henikos learned that his grandson had been arrested, he immediately brought people to Luke and asked him to let him go, but Luke didn’t see him at all, and the next day, he escorted the perpetrator to him who was running wild. There was a big trial in that street.

Since the evidence in this case was solid, the entire trial went smoothly. The perpetrator thought Luke was just pretending. After all, he was a direct descendant of the Fernando family. He didn't need to be afraid, so he admitted it all without fear. Unexpectedly, the final result of the trial was. It's hanging.

He was sentenced to hanging, but Luke did not do it on the spot, but deliberately postponed the execution, giving Henikos enough time to react.Luke is going to use this method to lure the impervious Fernando royal family to use force, and he can mobilize the Royal Knights under Orlando to give these worms a fatal blow, and take the opportunity to clean these pesky worms.

Henikos is 79 years old, and his son is in his 50s. This time his only grandson will be sentenced to hanging. How could Henikos bear this, so he used a very tough posture to ask someone at the intersection, but This was what Luke waited for, and he just refused, and the two sides almost fought on the spot. Although Catherine who came after hearing the news eventually stopped, the atmosphere in the entire imperial capital became tense.

Time is getting closer and closer to the hanging of Henikos’ only grandson. Henikos also decided to use force on the advice of his staff. He believes that the Royal Knights are loyal to the Fernando family and will never favor Luke. The army bought on weekdays, together with the private soldiers and slaves of the family, will surely catch one of Luke's surprises and rescue his grandson.As soon as the grandson is rescued, he will be sent away through the magic teleportation circle. As long as the person is not in the imperial capital, what can Luke do?

No one thought that on the night before the execution of the hanging, Henicos, the leader of the Fernando Royal League, suddenly became bedridden.This old leader originally held a secret meeting with a few henchmen in the secret room of his home to confirm the next day's action steps, but suddenly fell to the ground with a tremor.

No one knows that this is actually Catherine’s masterpiece. In order to alleviate the tension of the imperial capital, Catherine once went to the residences of Hernikos and Luke a few days ago as Her Majesty to mediate the whole matter. Luke and Henikos had made up their minds a long time ago. Naturally, the mediation failed. Catherine's efforts were in vain. Naturally, no one would find that Catherine had released a corrupting curse on the latter when he was in a separate interview.

With Catherine's strength, he released this dark magic to an old man who didn't know magic or martial arts, and he didn't even need to cast spells and gestures, and the curse on Henikos was almost instantaneous.And this dark magic corruption curse was not very powerful at the beginning, and the middle person felt a little weak in his body, thinking that he was overworked.When the curse of corruption has fully exerted its power, it will be very difficult to treat it again.

Henikos kept wailing in bed like this all night, his body was even decayed at a visible speed. Even if several priests took action together and treated him with light magic, he could barely contain the speed of corrosion. , In fact, there is no way to alleviate Henikos's pain, but it makes him die worse.

When the sun rose the next day, the 79-year-old Henikos died stinkingly on his bed, and his grandson was hanged by Luke under the royal viewing platform a few hours later.Luke felt very sorry for the death of Henikos, because he was almost able to completely solve the worms in the Imperial Capital, but for Birmingham, whose power and prestige were comparable to Henikos, he felt extremely lucky. Because the old guy who was pressing on his head was finally gone.

In this way, Catherine's adventure paid off greatly. When Henikos and Luke were at war, her unremitting efforts conquered everyone's hearts, which made Catherine's prestige rise day by day.The Fernando royal family's power was greatly reduced, and there was no way to contend with Luke. They even lost their right to survive, and had to fall to Catherine under the leadership of Birmingham to gain room for survival.
