Law of the Devil

In the morning, Du Wei was still sitting in the room.

This is the separate study courtyard in the Tulip Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital. Since returning from the Knights Association last night, Du Wei has been sitting here for a whole night.

In front of him was the Longchinus gun!

Touching the body of the gun lightly with his fingers, he could feel the coldness of the metal. With his eyes closed, Du Wei carefully used his mental power to sense it, as if he could sense the faint wave of induction left on the gun. , It seems that a tiny thing is pulling my spiritual power. If you listen carefully, you can hear a faint whistling sound...but it's very light.

It feels like you are holding a conch shell to your ear and listening to it.

It's subtle.

It's a pity that Du Wei spent a whole night doing many tests on this long gun, but without any valuable results.

To Du Wei's dismay, this legendary strongest artifact didn't have the slightest bit of legendary divine power on it. What kind of blessings from the gods, the attributes of many divine powers... no at all!

If it wasn't for the faint feeling, it would be - no, it's not even as good as an ordinary spear, because it's too broken, with countless scars on it, and even a little force would break it.

Du Wei has tried several methods: Inject mental power. Or try to use the two artifacts of the Lacking Moon Five Light Armor and Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow to trigger the induction...but. Still nothing happened. The only valuable is. When putting the three artifacts together. The missing moon five-light armor and Ji Du Luo Hou's instant prison arrow. Obviously there will be some induction. The divine power attached to it is about to move—but this gun is as quiet as dead.

"That's right. He's dead!" Du Wei suddenly grasped the subtle feeling in his heart!

It was as if he was dead!

Because of the absence of the moon, the five-light armor and Ji Duluohou's instant prison arrow. There are divine power attributes of gods on it. There is also the ability to self-repair. As if it were a living thing... and this gun. It's dead. No soul, no power.

"Like dead."

Du Wei sighed, raised his head to look at the sky outside...it's already morning.

He stretched vigorously and stayed up all night. For magicians. There won't be too many problems mentally, but there is still some physical exhaustion.

Du Wei stood up. Glancing at the golden spear. hesitated for a moment. Put it back in the storage ring.

Um. Anyway, I already have three artifacts in my hand... not bad.

In fact, Du Wei couldn't help but wonder in his heart: If he was wearing the "moonless five-light armor". Carrying the "Keduluohu Instant Prison Arrow" on his back, and holding the "Longchinus Spear". At the same time, he was riding a golden dragon on his crotch...that was so gorgeous!

Unfortunately, I can only think about it.

"Let's deal with today's matter first." Du Wei sighed. Then he opened the door and walked out of the study.

He just went out. Elder Yan, who had been waiting outside the door all night, immediately strode over. Lao Yan's eyes were bloodshot. But the spirit is not bad. He nodded to Du Wei: "My lord, do you have any orders?"

"Prepare the horse, I'm going to the palace."

Lao Yan is just going. Du Wei added another sentence: "Don't bring others. Just follow me! Today I have to do an important thing. Too many people is not good."

\u0026#

before going to the palace. Du Wei deliberately took a detour to the south of the city. He's going to look outside the Knights' Association. What is the effect after the announcement is issued.

As a result, things went beyond Du Wei's expectations!

He originally thought that after the announcement of "The World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament" was issued. The news was sent all over the continent. It will take at least one month. Warriors from all over the mainland will flock to the imperial capital - after a month, the number of applicants will increase.

But Du Wei ignored one point: this is the imperial capital!

Hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial capital... Uh, or it's not appropriate to say that, because although there are indeed many warriors hidden among the people in the imperial capital, most of those people can't talk about "hidden dragons and crouching tigers". Because of the decline of chivalry. The status of warriors has declined, and many warriors in the imperial capital are just mixed among the people. It's just a mess.

The news has only been announced for less than half a day. Immediately, the entire imperial capital was shocked!

I have seen such a scene in many places in the imperial capital: those warriors in the streets and alleys who are struggling to live at the bottom of the common people, the first reaction when they hear the news is to throw away the work in their hands immediately. As soon as he ran away, he ran towards the direction of the Knights Association - among them were escorts of chariots and horses. There are bodyguards from the chamber of commerce. There are hotel servants and cooks. Some are even grooms!

Many people ran home and dug out boxes that had been stored for many years from under their beds. I found the rusted armor and long sword from inside, and cleaned them carefully.

And in all the subway smith shops in the imperial capital, the business exploded several times overnight! All the subway smith shops are almost full. Countless people ordering long sword weapons and armor are queuing up. And the finished weapons in the blacksmith's shop were almost wiped out, and the prices doubled one after another: a low-grade iron sword that used to be worth ten copper plates now costs at least two silver coins. And the price of a set of light leather armor has increased six times!

Du Wei just went out and walked less than two streets. He saw several horses galloping towards him. Leading one. It was his own business manager, Zack Jr.

This big monkey-like guy saw Du Wei from afar, turned over and jumped off the horse, not even caring about etiquette. The first sentence is to complain: "My lord! My boss! Before you come up with such a genius idea next time, can you say hello to me first! You see. Up to tonight. Everyone in the imperial capital Every weapon store will be sold out! This is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity! You should tell me about this kind of news in advance. I can stock up on a batch of weapons. This time I can make a lot of money! Sigh... what a pity .Now it’s cheaper than that old guy of Delanshan Warcraft! I heard it early in the morning. That guy sent people to several large warehouses outside the imperial capital overnight. He sold several large cars and inferior weapons and armor that could not be sold for a long time. They were all dragged into the city early in the morning to sell them!"

Looking at the way little Zach gritted his teeth. Du Wei just smiled. Casually said a few words of comfort. Only then asked: "You are in such a hurry. Did you come here to complain to me?"

"Of course not." Little Zach shook his head: "I didn't come to you to complain. I just asked about this matter. Do you have any other plans? This is a big event! The empire has not been so lively for many years It’s time! In my opinion, it’s just piles of gold coins! If I miss this kind of opportunity, my little Zach is simply an idiot!”.

Du Wei laughed, to this guy

Hand: "Come here with your ears, I have a few tricks. You are so so..."

After hearing a few words, little Zach's eyes lit up, his face smiled like a flower, and he nodded repeatedly. He said hello to Du Wei, and galloped away with his men on horseback.

Du Wei watched these guys go away, and then sighed: "Mistake! Why did I forget to take the opportunity to dump weapons... In the next few months, warriors from all over the mainland will come to the imperial capital one after another. At least There must be thousands of people."

He rode south with Old Smoke for a while, but he couldn't move when he was one street away from the Knights Association! There is almost a sea of ​​people in front of the room, and the people on the street are crowded with people. Can't even get through the cracks!

The boiling human voice almost knocked off the roof. This is too busy for the soldiers of the security station, a few streets nearby. The imperial security office has temporarily increased its manpower by three times. Neither is enough.

Du Wei sat on the horse. Looking at the distant place, the crowd is swarming. Sighing, he said with a wry smile: "It seems that we don't have to go there."

At this moment, the Knights Association was surrounded early in the morning. Even Deron was taken aback when he opened the door in the morning!

Outside the Knights Association, the streets are crowded with people. Countless fighters of all levels in different clothes, holding various weapons, have long lined up outside the gate of the Knights Association.

In addition, there are a large number of citizens who came to watch the excitement after hearing the news, those who passed by and stopped, and those who took advantage of the crowd to make a fortune, pickpockets, etc...

Even Old Dove, standing upstairs and watching the scene on the street, couldn't help but shiver: "My God! I've lived on this street all my life, but I've never seen it so lively Pass."

Deron's forehead was full of sweat. He originally thought the same as Du Wei: I was afraid that not many people would come over in the first few days. He originally planned to move a table at the gate of the Knights Association, and slowly register those who signed up. Well, who would have thought of such a scene?

But when Delong just put down the table, set up the chairs, and sat down to register in person, within half an hour, all the registration forms he had prepared had been snatched up.

Fortunately, there were soldiers from the public security station to maintain order, and Delong yelled out: "Anyone who violates the order will be disqualified." This made the crowd a little quieter.

Soon, Delong hurriedly asked someone to go to the Tulip family for help: at least send some more people to help! Otherwise, Delong would not be able to keep busy even if he broke his hands to record the information of the applicants by himself!

\u0026#

At this time, Du Wei had already arrived in the palace. When he saw the heavy traffic near the Cavaliers Association, he immediately gave up his plan to see Deron and went directly to the palace.

After all, there is still a big show to be performed tonight.

Festive dinner!

Arriving directly at the bedroom where His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI lived, Du Wei did not let Lao Yan go in with him. The palace guards at the door had already been removed, and Lao Yan was somewhat curious as he stood alone outside the hall.

When Du Wei walked into the palace, he saw Groom, a tailor, sitting in a chair in front of the mirror, carefully looking at himself in the mirror, and seemed a little nervous.

Du Wei sighed. He could understand Groom's mood at the moment. After all, people are always nervous before major events happen. What's more, tonight is not just a big test for him... and the result of the test is also helpless: even if he passes it smoothly, what awaits him is death!

Groom's face was very pale. When Du Wei walked behind him silently and put his hand on his shoulder, he reacted suddenly, as if he was taken aback. When he saw Du Wei's face, he calmed down a little.

Du Wei was a little uneasy: he was too nervous and scared. In this mental state, people can easily collapse!

"Groom." Du Wei tried his best to calm his voice: "I think it's tonight...do you understand?"

"I understand." Groom bit his lip, but his eyes were a little uncertain: "My lord, I... can I fool everyone? I mean, I look like... like six Your Majesty?"

"No, you don't look like it." Du Wei's answer stunned the tailor, but he soon heard Du Wei categorically shouted: "Because you are! Today, you are His Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI! !"

Du Wei brought a glass of water casually, and quietly squeezed a drop of ice berry juice into it—this kind of thing not only has a hallucinogenic effect, but if taken in small amounts, it can act as a certain sedative and analgesic. And now. Clearly Groom needs some composure!

Taking the cup with trembling hands, Groom drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, and even choked a few times. But soon. The drug kicked in, and he looked much quieter.

"I know you're scared." Du Wei whispered in his ear: "Groom, think about your wife, your daughter! You must complete today's task well... Think about them! You can Imagine: You are fighting for them today! If you do well, they can live a prosperous and happy life for the rest of their lives!"

"For...they..." The tailor's eyes were blank for a while, and finally gradually gained focus.

Seeing this guy's more and more determined eyes, Du Wei heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued to exhort: "Remember my words! Groom. At night, you have to be calm. You don't need to say anything, just be indifferent and proud. Disdain for anything. An impatient look is fine! As for your lack of energy, that's the most appropriate! Because everyone knows that since the handing over of power, His Majesty the old emperor has been in a very depressed mood! Groom! You are perfect! Believe me, it will be a success tonight. As long as you do what I told you to do well, I promise, everything will go smoothly, very simple!"

"And what you promised me..." Groom raised his head and stared at Du Wei.

"I will keep my promise." Du Wei replied immediately.

"good……"

With a long sigh, Groom lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if closing his eyes for rest.

As soon as he closed his eyes, a long time passed, and even Du Wei forgot how much time had passed.

Finally, after a long time, Groom suddenly opened his eyes!

His eyes were full of peace, even... there was something more. .

At this moment, he didn't even look at Du Wei, leaned on the chair, stood up slowly, then turned around, his face was calm, although he was a little pale, but he was no longer afraid!

"Duke Tulip, I'm hungry." His voice was very slow: "Ask the servants to bring in some food... I don't want to wait until the banquet starts tonight with an empty stomach!"

Du Wei's eyes lit up!

At this moment, Groom seems to be possessed by the soul of the old emperor! !

And... let the servants get my evening clothes ready. I'm done eating! I don't look like I'm not royally dignified in my clothes! "

"His Majesty the Emperor" said coldly.

Du Wei stared intently at the "emperor" in front of him. He looked at each other for a while. Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

soon. Court servants brought food. The etiquette officer and other emissaries sent the dresses for tonight's banquet.

During the dressing process, His Majesty the Emperor looked indifferent. Expressionless. There was a hint of impatience and helplessness in his eyes.

Everything is flawless. The court attendants who changed his clothes had no idea. Still tremblingly serving His Majesty to change clothes - everyone knows. After losing power, the old emperor was moody!

A set of red costumes. A thick top-quality Firefox fur collar hung around his neck, and a servant was lying on the ground at his feet. He was gently wiping the leather boots with a white silk scarf. And behind the four beautiful court ladies. Use your delicate little hands to help His Majesty fasten the buttons on the clothes. Smooth out every wrinkle carefully.

at last. Du Wei looked at the "Augustine VI" in the mirror, and he smiled slightly. Turning around, he took the emperor's scepter from a waiter behind him. He held it in both hands and handed it over: "Your scepter. Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Grand Duke." His Majesty Augustine VI just snorted. He glanced at Du Wei coldly from the corner of his eyes. Then hold your chin up. Turned around and walked out.

so. Qingfeng Festival. There is also an informal saying among the people. It is called "Celebrating More Than Years". (Hey. Make fun of me~)

\u0026#

His Majesty Augustine VI walked out of his bedroom. It is evening now. Outside the bedroom. Prince Chen, the regent of the empire, has brought a large number of golden armored warriors. There is also a long guard of honor. ceremonial officer. Court ladies and so on and so forth.

Seeing the old emperor come out. Prince Chen looked at the front. The one with a nonchalant face was dressed in gorgeous costumes. An old man holding a scepter. His expression was in a trance for a moment...

But soon. He reacted immediately. Quickly took two steps. In full view. He bent down and gave a half salute.

The old emperor nodded to him. Then hold your head high. Get ahead. Headed towards the front hall of the palace. Prince Chen followed one step behind him. Du Wei took another two steps behind. Other guards and court attendants. Then line up and follow behind.

tonight. The largest main hall in the palace is magnificent. And outside. Eight pairs of burly Hercules. Topless. Exposing strong muscles. Wearing golden trousers that symbolize a good harvest. Holding a sledgehammer in his hand. per two people. Standing on one side with a height of one person on both sides of the big drum.

And when His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI's party came. Every time you pass a big drum. The two wrestlers beat the drums vigorously!

Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom! !

Followed His Majesty to the gate of the main hall. The drums were loud. The guards of honor on both sides blew their horns brightly!

In the majestic ceremony and music. A court etiquette officer dressed in costumes stood at the entrance of the hall. Open your voice and announce loudly:

"Everyone. Please welcome the supreme ruler. The owner of the mainland! His Majesty the Emperor of the Roland Empire is here!!"

With this loud and clear voice. After a hum in the main hall. Immediately fell into absolute silence!

The hall is brightly lit. It has been carefully furnished. There are countless gems inlaid on the ceiling. Exudes a magical light. It illuminated the hall like daylight!

Groom walked into the hall slowly. Immediately, I heard the rustling of robes. I saw the two sides of the hall. At least hundreds of male and female nobles in grand gowns stood there!

When I stepped into the first step of the hall. all the people. All bowed their heads deeply. Then he knelt down on the ground. No one dared to look up at themselves!

at this moment. Groom's heart suddenly trembled violently!

These people... these people! !

Those nobles in gorgeous robes. Some of them are generals. Some are ministers, and some are prime ministers. There is the Marquis. Earl... Which one of these people usually has a belly. With an arrogant look? Little people like myself. I'm afraid it's lying on the ground in front of them. It may not be possible to let them take a look!

Those beautiful women! They wore the most luxurious and alluring evening dresses. Some bare white shoulders and half chest. The body is covered with fragrant perfume - among them is the duchess. Marchioness. The countess... and more are the daughters of those aristocratic and wealthy families. These beautiful women. I'm afraid I can't even see it on weekdays...

But now. All these people, these men. Women... They all knelt obediently in front of their own feet, crawling at their own feet... crawling at their own—a tailor's feet!

Ha ha ha ha! How interesting! What an ironic thing! ! !

this moment. Groom was briefly absent-minded. His eyes swept across the audience. He stopped involuntarily under his feet.

At this time, Prince Chen and Du Wei were behind him. Seeing that he actually stopped. My heart immediately rose to my throat!

But then. The "His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI" finally took a deep breath. Then an obviously disdainful and impatient "hum" sound came from the nasal cavity.

Then he took a step. Head held high, holding that scepter. strode in. On the red carpet. all the way. There was a hint of disdain and arrogance in his eyes.

Prince Chen finally felt relieved. Watching this tailor perform so "perfectly". His heart was full of surprises, and he couldn't help but look back at Du Wei. That look clearly means:

"How did you do it?".
