Chapter 653
In the quiet carriage, the young Grand Duke Elman looked solemn and his silver-gray pupils looked at the black hair wizard who was sitting in front of him.
Although he has learned some information about his half-brother from Lushin, the moment he saw Ulrich Wiertz, Loren found that he still underestimated him. The weight of "serious" in the mouth.
Obviously he is still a slender boy, but his serious expression and meticulous sitting posture seem to give him the illusion that he is facing the Corona Master and even Crown Prince Connold.
The substantive coercion that pervades the opponent, as if it can pierce the inner silver-gray eyes, warns the black hair wizard that he must not underestimate his age and appearance.
The one sitting in front of him is the grand duke holding a duchy; the empire can sit on an equal footing with this young man, just count them with two hands.
"Why?" Yuli Wiertz's cold and majestic voice sounded: "Is it so surprising to you to see me?"
"Should it not? "
Loren calmed down and asked in the calmest tone: "If I remember correctly, in theory, you should be in Duchy's capital city of Almans instead of Byrne. , Scarlet Blood Castle."
"Theoretically...As a wizard advisor to His Royal Highness Brandon, you should now be in Golovin, West Sacrament." Ulrich Wirtz spoke clearly, even in the sky. The court ceremonial officer can’t jump out of any faults:
"So don’t talk about him anymore, Loren Torino; my time is very precious, you must give me a clear answer immediately;
Byrne...is ready to rebel against the empire?!"
The black hair wizard frowned slightly, his hands were subconsciously crossed with ten fingers; he knew that the sharp and cold eyes were making Watching yourself, and will not give yourself any more opportunities.
"The key to whether you will rebel against the empire is not in Byrne, but in the Vault of Heaven." After a little thought, Loren calmly opened the mouth and said: "This matter is not simple enough. It only takes a few words to make it clear, the attitude of either party is very important."
The Duke of Ulrich did not speak, his silver-gray eyes were still staring at the black hair wizard's eyes, making him Feel the pressure.
"It's you... Master Yuli Wertz, even if you really want to know the answer, why would you visit the Scarlet Blood Castle privately at this time?"
Loren asked, and his dark pupils were also looking at the other's eyes: "Visit privately, observe in secret, and even use such a tough method to tie an irrelevant outsider to the carriage and ask for information about Byrne Duchy."
"I really want to know, what on earth are you planning to do, and what do you want to dig out of my mouth?"
Grand Duke Ai Leman still face doesn't Change, sit on the opposite side of motionless; from start to finish, the black hair wizard can't find any useful breakthrough from any place on the other side.
Took a deep breath, Loren leaned on the back of the carriage, deliberately showing a relaxed expression: "Master Duke, I am not targeting you, but your actions will inevitably make people treat you. To be suspicious; to be honest, if you can talk in a way that is friendlier or more trustworthy for both parties, I think..."
"Word games."
The abrupt voice interrupted the words of the black hair wizard, Loren's complexion was slightly startled, and Ulrich Wiltz in front of him was still looking at him while his face doesn't change, but his eyes couldn't tell the sarcasm:
"Terminate the content of the original conversation, or avoid answering, and then point the finger at the other party...Loren Torino, do you really think I can’t hear it?"
" I..."
"To be simpler, because I am almost impatient." The young duke coldly opened the mouth and said: "If you continue like this, I will conclude that you are here. Deliberately conceal the truth about Byrne and buy time for the rebellion."
"If this is the case, then a month later, the mission that visits Byrne Duchy will not be a thousand people, but a hundred thousand people!"
One hundred thousand? !
In one month's time, the empire was too late to recruit so many Legions; that is to say, the lord of the duke...he wants to put down the rebellion for the empire himself? !
"You... are you threatening me?" The Adam's apple twitched, and Loren's expression was a little ugly.
Ulrich Wiltz looked at him coldly: "I'm telling you not to be deliberately mystifying, but you can understand it that way."
At that moment, the atmosphere in the car Becoming depressed and murderous, people are a little breathless.
black hair wizard brows tightly knit, the crossed fingers are a little white because of too much force... Maybe it’s because of the painkiller that I have just taken, my mind is completely chaotic, I can’t find any rebuttal or A foothold that can stand against the duke.
Do you want to tell the truth?
There are indeed nobles in Byrne who intend to rebel, and the attitude of the Lords of Knight does show signs of wanting independence. Although Charlotte is already trying to save, it seems to have no effect...
No way, absolutely can't say that! If the empire decides that the Torino family has no prestige to lead the entire territory of Byrne, the consequences would be unimaginable!
What should I do, what should I do? !
"But...I can also answer your previous question."
Ulrich Wiltz suddenly changed his conversation and interrupted the black hair wizard’s thinking: "Why do you want to go private Visit the Red Blood Castle? The reason is simple, because I need a more neutral point of view."
A neutral point of view?
The black hair wizard remained silent, and his mind began to fall into contemplation.
"The Celestial Palace entrusted me with the mission of mediation, but I have not been so simple to think that this matter is just a simple mediation." The young duke's eyes were deep and his voice was very calm:
"Then there can only be one answer-the Imperial Family must not come forward on this matter, otherwise the empire may fall apart!"
"So, this visit can only be Privately; once it is made public, the situation will be completely out of control." The frost-faced Yuli shook his head: "And before the mission is completely open, I must get the most neutral and objective answer to mediate this. Set the tone."
"Is it to stabilize the situation in Byrne and select a new duke; or be ready to accept the declaration of war and put down the empire?!"
The words fell, and the carriage fell silent again.
The silver-gray pupils and the dark eyes looked at each other, and Yuli Wiertz's expression did not change at all, but the black hair wizard was slightly surprised.
In order to clarify such an answer, the Duke actually dared to commit a risk and ran to the Scarlet Blood Castle alone?
Don't he really know... Just now, just now, how many people in this city would like to kill him immediately and wipe the king's crown with his blood? !
As long as you yell yourself, or just leak the news, the Grand Duke of Elman will never see the sun tomorrow!
But before that, he still has a question.
"...Why me?"
Loren's expression is very complicated, looking at the young duke in front of him: "If you just want to know a'neutral' answer, you You can go to a lot of people, why do you have to come to me, an irrelevant person?"
"First of all, you are definitely not an'irrelevant' person...Although there is no real evidence, but that The heretical sect incident definitely has a lot to do with you."
In the carriage, the young duke slowly leaned forward, carefully examining Loren’s expression with his eyes: "It’s just that I’m on the way here. I have heard many people talking about you, talking about how'Loren Torino' rushed into the cathedral, rescued the altar from Gaspar, and avenged the dead Archbishop."
"That is a An accident, and it happened for a reason..."
"But this is only one of the reasons." The young duke interrupted him: "More... because of one person."
alone?
black hair wizard slightly startled: "You mean... Lusien?"
"Of course not!" Yuli Wiertz retorted without the slightest hesitation, but his eyes were There was a flash of panic: "I wouldn't be so stupid that the younger brother who ran away from home just to prove myself blindly believes in someone!"
Loren's expression suddenly changed. It's weird, I don't know whether to laugh or not.
"I chose you because of the entrustment of a close friend." Yuli Wirtz opened the mouth and said:
"Lottell’s heir, Shen Limburg count, Lu Wen Fried!"
