Son of the Chip King

By the lake, Pat and Tony are chatting.

"After this mission is over, you can go home. I didn't expect to fly an airship, and I almost lost my life here."

Tony followed suit and nodded: "Fortunately, Mr. Guanxi is here, as expected of the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Hunter Association, really amazing."

"I hope it will be smooth sailing when I go back." Pat sighed. "My eight-year-old son is still waiting for me to come home for his birthday."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves. Pat immediately became alert, but neither he nor Tony had any weapons in their hands. They could only pick up a wooden stick and stare at the source of the sound. .

"Rabbit, it must be a rabbit..." Tony said in fear.

Not to mention the enemy, here is a beast that neither he nor Pat can handle.The only hope is that the beasts don't know water, so they can still dive into the lake, which is a retreat.

The rustling sound was still approaching, a golden moth fluttered out of the forest with flapping wings, fluttered and landed on Pat's shoulder first, then felt that another place had a stronger smell, and fluttered again Winged away, landed on the ground where Debra landed on the compass.

Following the golden moth were Julia and Carreen.

"Hello~" Julia greeted the two with a smile, "Why are you the only two here? Where are the others?"

Karien looked around, and his eyes fell on the compass on the ground. Looking at the motionless moths on the compass, Karien knew it clearly.

It turned out that their connector was the fortune teller of the royal palace.

It was a little unexpected, he thought that fortune tellers were loyal to the royal family, but unexpectedly...

This year's fortune teller seems to be called Debra?

"Who are you?" Tony asked terrified.

Julia tilted her head and thought for a while, "Who...is probably the consul's dog?"

Carrian frowned: "It's too ugly."

"Otherwise." Julia sneered, "That adult gave an order, no matter how dangerous or annoying it is, we have to do it. If it's not a dog, what is it? It's a very poor dog with a rope around its neck. Bark bark ~"

Karin: ...

Upon hearing the name of the consul, both Pat and Tony's expressions changed.

Pat held on to the wooden stick tightly, with a serious expression: "The consul...doesn't even bother to do superficial work?"

Although many people in the royal palace are aware of the consul's ambitions, seeking power, usurping the throne and murdering the royal family are not things that can be put on the surface. Even if the consul commits an assassination, those killers will never tell themselves that they want to kill people, who hired or ordered them.I actually said it so clearly today...

I'm afraid they are sure that they will not leave here alive.

The thought of this made Pat even more frightened.

"Hey, where did the Prince and the others go? Have you found the 'Princess' Resting Place'? Where is it?" Julia walked up to Pat, stretched out her finger and pressed down the wooden stick in the man's hand, Said softly, "Tell me honestly, I will spare your life~"

Pat was trembling, he was hesitating whether he should really betray His Highness the Prince and tell everything.

Tony looked at Pat in horror.

Finally Pat gritted his teeth: "I don't know."

Julia raised an eyebrow and looked at Tony again.

Tony shook his head too.

"You are not afraid of death." Julia sneered.

Pat: "I'm afraid, if I can, I want to live, I want to live forever. However, if the consul is in power in the future, my wife and children may not be able to survive."

"The consul is not a big devil, he won't kill everyone." Julia said, "He has no interest in your wife and children who were born as civilians."

"But he wants to start a war, doesn't he?" Pat said loudly, "He wants to start a war against the surrounding countries, the country will definitely be in chaos, many people will be taken away as soldiers, women and children will not be spared... ..."

Julia's smile faded, and she looked at Pat coldly.

It is well known that the Consul wants to launch an aggressive war. The first time he found an excuse to propose a war was five years ago. At that time, His Majesty the King was in good health and his real power was stable, so he refuted the Consul's request.It is believed that when there is no legitimate reason, wars cannot be launched at will.

It is obviously untenable for the consul to go to war just because the other party's attitude is rude during a diplomatic trip.The consul at that time just smiled at the king's refutation, as if the war was just mentioned casually.

The second time it was raised was two years ago, when the king was in poor health, the consul once again proposed to go to war with neighboring countries, on the grounds that people from neighboring countries crossed the border in winter and robbed the rations of their own residents.This time the consul took a tougher attitude, because his power was getting stronger and stronger, and he had attracted many officials. His proposal to start a war was responded by some officials, but was finally suppressed by the king.At that time, the king discovered that the consul was an ambitious and militant faction, and wanted to replace him, but unfortunately his power was stable, and it was too late.

After that, the archon never mentioned it again, but he never gave up.

Once the royal family ceased to exist and the consul leaped from the position of assistant to become the ruler of the country, he would definitely send troops to the neighboring countries immediately, and his belligerence would pull the whole country into the vortex of war.And the first to be sacrificed in war must be civilians.

Therefore, those who support His Highness the Prince's succession are mainly civilians, followed by officials.But those who secretly supported the consul were some dignitaries and lords. They didn't need to rush to the front to sacrifice, but once the war had results, they could eat meat and drink soup with the consul.

The number of civilians is the largest, but it is not an emergency, and their support does not have much obvious effect.In contrast, the consul has the support of senior officials and lords, money and soldiers. On the contrary, Mitchell's royal power is faltering, so he came out to find the lost treasures. There must be strong support behind the right to speak.

Pat was trembling, but he was unwilling to take a step back: "Prince Mitchell is the most suitable monarch."

Julia's face was very cold, she stepped forward, and before she could make a move, Karen beside her made a move first.

Carrian lifted Pat and kicked Pat into the air. The ordinary Pat hit Tony, and the two of them rolled away and hit a tree together, and then passed out.

"What are you doing talking so much nonsense with them?" Karin said impatiently, "You don't need to ask about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness, he must have dived into the water."

Julia put her half-stretched hand down: "I just think it's fun to tease them~~" Of course she saw the coat and shoes on the ground.

"Chasing?"

Julia hesitated, stroking her hair: "I don't want the hairstyle I just made to get wet, they will always come up, let's wait here."

Carrian put his hands in his pockets, and he looked at Julia: "...Are you sure the exit is the same as the entrance?"

Julia smiled: "I don't know. They walked the waterway, and the moths couldn't catch up. Let's wait here for a while. If we can't wait, let's dive in and have a look."

Carrian: "...OK."

In the underground palace, Mitchell put the box into his pocket.

Behind her, Debra saw this scene in her eyes.

"If you find something, you should go back." Kansai said carelessly, "It's so cold here, I want to go back soon."

When he said this, the others also felt the chills began to rise, and Amy even sneezed very appropriately.

"A guest is coming." Nara Yoshi said.

Mitchell and the others were taken aback.

Nara Yoshino pointed to the top of his head: "There are guests on the bank, two."

Debra lowered her eyes, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

In power

The person sent by the official came so soon, which was a little bit beyond her expectation.It's just that something happened on her side...

Debra glanced at Nara Zen quietly, and was noticed by the boy, who turned his head and stared at himself with his red eyes.

Debra quickly flashed a good-natured smile. The boy looked her up and turned his head away.

"Pat and Tony are still up there." Mitchell said nervously.

Kansai snorted, "If it's the enemy, then let them stay, I'll go up first." Then he dived into the underwater tunnel first and headed for the lake.

After Kansai is Ulysses and Mitchell, Debra is behind them, and Nara Yoshino takes Amy to the end.

When Nara Yoshimi swam to the lake and went ashore, he saw Kansai and Ulysses meeting a strange man and a woman.Mitchell was checking Pat and Tony under the tree, relieved to see that they had just passed out.

"Sure enough, you were sent by the consul." Kansai said while clenching his fists, "It just so happens that I have a bill and I want to settle it with you."

As he said that, he was about to rush over, but he heard a woman shouting loudly: "Don't move!"

Kansai paused, turned around, and saw Debra strangling Mitchell's neck, holding a thin needle in her hand against His Royal Highness's throat: "If you don't want him to die, stop it for me." .”

The tip of the needle had pierced the skin, and a stream of blood ran down the neck.

"Debra?" Mitchell asked incredulously, "Are you from the consul?"

"Hehe, can't you think of it?"

"It's hard to believe. The augurs of the royal family are hereditary and have served the royal family for generations." Ulysses also had a cold face, "Why are you on the side of the consul?"

In particular, Debra's grandparents are from the royal family. Debra's family belongs to the aristocratic class, and the fortune teller is a special position in the royal family. Both blood and identity are inseparable from the royal family. It is only by the royal family that they are today. Why would the glorious Debra betray her?

Debra smiled: "A woman betrayed her family and identity to join a man, what else could be the reason?"

Ulysses: "... Could it be you?"

"Yes, I am the Consul's secret lover." Debra said proudly, "When he becomes the monarch of the new dynasty, I will be his queen. Isn't this much better than being a fortune teller?"

Debra held Mitchell hostage. She held Mitchell with her left hand and the needle with her right hand. She couldn't move her hand for a while, so she raised her chin to Karin: "It's in the pocket in his arms. You go and take it out."

Karien looked at Julia, and Julia had one hand on her hip, and she didn't intend to refute, so Karrian stepped forward and took out the things from Mitchell's arms.

Ulysses, Kansai and others could only watch helplessly because of His Royal Highness's life.

Kansai scolded: "You were almost burned to death with us on the airship, and you still support that bastard consul?"

"I won't die." Debra said, "Before this trip, I have done divination for myself. Although the action may have twists and turns and the result is unknown, I will definitely not usher in death."

"Are you sure?" Nara asked.

Debra: "Of course! I'm second to none..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her stomach.When she looked down, a dagger actually pierced the side of her lower abdomen, and blood stained her clothes.

At the second when Debra was distracted by the pain, Karen had already pulled the hijacked Mitchell into his arms, pulled him back in time, and stood beside Ulysses.

Ulysses checked His Royal Highness's neck, only a small incision was punctured by a fine needle, and there was no sign of poisoning. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Karen, "Thank you for your hard work."

Carrian returned the things to Mitchell: "It's pretty easy."

It was Debra who was shocked, her eyes widened: "You are the person sent by the prince to the consul? How is this possible? That adult is very strict about undercover investigations.

What the hell are you..."

"It's really strict, but I have a pair of parents who were beheaded by the royal family, so it's easy to sneak in." Carrian said, "He would never believe that his parents were killed by the royal family, and I would still do it for him." Your Highness, let's do something."

Debra's eyes widened: "Then you..."

"A pair of parents who have never cared about me since I was born. They fight and scold me every day, drink and gamble, and even want to sell me for gambling money... Even if one day I am sentenced to death for robbery and murder, I will not because of these I hate the royal family." Carrian said, "Actually, I'm quite worried that the consul will investigate my past in detail, afraid that he will know that the money I spent when I was growing up was funded by the royal knights. So caring, knowing that my parents were killed by the royal family, they completely let go of their suspicions about me."

Not everyone who gave birth to a child is qualified to be a parent. This sentence is vividly expressed in Karen's parents.

By the way, the knight who sponsored Carrian was Ulysses' father.

If it hadn't been for Karin's stubbornness when he was a child, and he refused to move to live with them in the Ulysses' house, Karin would be the adopted son of the Ulysses' family by now.

Even so, Carreen and Ulysses remained close as brothers.It was only in the past few years that Karen longed for a life of traveling around the world, so he didn't have frequent contact with Ulysses when he was traveling.When he returned home, the consul came to power and revealed his ambitions. Ulysses worried about the safety of His Royal Highness, so he told Karen about the consul.

Karian still remembers that His Royal Highness, who was very polite to him as a commoner, immediately offered to help undercover to find out the news, and it ended up being a three-year dive.Originally, Karen just wanted to inquire about the news, but it turned out that the consul had a big plan, so he really sneaked into the center of the consul's power circle, all the way to the present.

Narayoshi clapped his hands and applauded: "It's a big show. What about you?" The boy looked at Julia.

Others also set their sights on Julia.

Julia raised her hand: "Surrender~"

Although the white flag was raised, her expression was unprecedentedly relaxed and joyful.
