King's Landing

The Second Element of King's Landing, Volume 8, Chapter 13, The Minister's Test

In the luxurious carriage heading to the imperial city, Evil and Minister Ornest sat opposite each other.

"give."

Evil delivered the imperial equipment in his hand, as if he didn't care about this valuable weapon.

"Oh? What do you mean, kid?"

The minister looked at Evil slightly unexpectedly, and the jerky that was biting in his mouth was also put down.

Although he was scheming and calculating, he did not expect that this kid would return the bargaining chip after victory, and this bargaining chip would still be the legendary "Emperor Tool" that can make countless people crazy.

"When I pass the test, you will give it to me."

This sentence made the minister slightly stunned, and then, unbridled laughter oscillated throughout the carriage.

"Okay! You are very smart kid! I am very satisfied with you!"

The minister who hates incompetent people most in his life, but at the same time, as a superior, he also dislikes subordinates who take credit and pride, even though he doesn't mind Evil taking Emperor Gu as his own.

But Evil took the initiative to return Digu, which undoubtedly followed the minister's heart.

The slightest dissatisfaction with Evil had disappeared completely because of the relationship with his son Sheila.

"Take it, kid, do you think I care about a piece of imperial equipment? And this is also your own win from my useless son. If I take it back, wouldn't it make Ornest stingy? ?"

The majestic and joyous Ornest generously bestowed Emperor Gu to Evil.

"I know."

Evil nodded, and put the Emperor away blankly.

"With Sheila's bet, even if you pass the first test, after meeting with me in the palace, I will put you on two tests. If you can pass all of them, then I will be my confidant of Ornest."

"Ok."

If you were replaced by any other humanities, civil servants and generals, you would be very excited when you heard the minister, but Evil responded calmly, seeming to be able to control his emotions perfectly.

This is also where Ornest appreciates Evil.

"Don't you ask me what to test?"

"No matter what the test, I have only one choice, so it doesn't matter whether you ask or not."

"Yes, if I don't pass the test, I will kill you in the cruelest way. Do you know why?"

The minister's smile suddenly darkened, and as his tone changed, the atmosphere in the carriage began to freeze.

The turbid golden pupils stared at Evil closely, and the invisible pressure enveloped him.

Facing the minister's pressure, Evil looked at him without fear, and then she said lightly.

"The minister of the empire is definitely not a good person, and he will ruthlessly eradicate factors that threaten him."

"Then you pose a threat to me? Kid."

He grinned, and his bright white teeth appeared like wild beasts.

"I do not know."

"do not know?"

"Is there any threat to you? The right to judge is not on my side. That's why you will test me, right?"

This was the first time Evil smiled, and the minister looked a little lost.

The imperial city that has stood for thousands of years is still magnificent.

It is like a proud and majestic dragon king, sleeping in the center of the entire imperial capital.

People living in the imperial city are all the real powers of the empire, whether they are civil servants or military commanders.

Minister Ornest, as the head of civil servants in the entire empire, only in recent years, the first emperor passed away, and the princes fought for power. In the end, Minister Ornest relied on his ruthless methods to make the most of his support. The young prince was given the emperor's throne.

Of course, this is just a rumor circulating in private.

What the real inside story is, no one will know except the person involved and the dead princes.

But only one thing can be confirmed. Since the young emperor took the throne, Ornest has become a new minister, assisting him in governing, and become the most powerful civil minister in the entire empire. No one can shake his position.

Therefore, only Minister Ornest was allowed to live with the young emperor.

Evil was brought directly into the palace by Ornest.

"The second round of testing is very simple, you only need to choose one thing, but the time is only one minute."

In the splendid private hall, the minister ordered four trays covered with red cloth to be presented.

After the minister finished speaking, the four guards uncovered the red cloth of the tray.

The tray on the left is a dagger inlaid with precious red sapphires, and the handle of the dagger is forged with gold.

The first tray in the middle is a document on which is written the appointment letter of the palace internal officer, and also knocked on the imperial seal.

The second tray in the middle is a uniform, and the uniform is a black police uniform.

On the tray on the right is stacked a piece of leather armor, and on the leather armor is a long sword with a sheath.

These are the four things the minister asked Evil to choose, with a one-minute time limit.

A calm gaze swept across the four things.

Then, Evil stepped forward and walked to the first tray in the middle, and his little hand picked up the appointment book on it.

The minister sitting on the specially-made throne saw this scene with a cold flash in his eyes.

But suddenly, he was stunned.

After Evil picked up the file, he tore it to pieces without hesitation.

A crisp voice rang in the hall.

"Except for this, the other three do not matter. I am not interested in being an official."

These words reached the minister's ears, his turbid golden eyes tightly looked down at the expressionless Evil.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely solemn.

The four guards even ooze cold sweat.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, the minister retracted his gaze and got up from his seat.

The sound of heavy leather boots approached.

The minister finally came to Evil's front.

The burly body is like a hill compared to Evil, but Evil is not afraid, and looks at him calmly.

The minister raised his hand and picked up the golden dagger from the left without looking.

The hearts of the four guards were ready to see the blood splash on the spot.

However, the minister did not swing down the dagger, he just handed it up.

"Yes, take it and wait for the third test tomorrow."
