Law of the Devil

This obviously old person, at this moment. Those eyes were so bright that they seemed to be able to shine directly into people's hearts.

But Camisiro deliberately lowered his head. Not meeting the other's eyes, he lowered his head. But he said a word softly:

"Have you forgotten...I am your grandniece and son-in-law. This family...will always be mine in the future. But everyone must find a way out for themselves."

These words are not loud. But every word fell into the ears of the old prime minister. The old man's face changed slightly.

Finally, Robeschel sat down slowly. He patted his knee lightly, stared at Camisiro for a while, and then smiled: "Okay. Get up."

Camisiro raised his head and looked into the eyes of the old prime minister: "I am also very surprised. Unexpectedly, you have stood in the empire for decades. You are wise and safe. But you are in the palace early. You have people."

"Be careful." The old prime minister gave Camisiro a sideways look.

Camisiro smiled mockingly: "You taught me to pretend to be confused. To be clear, not to speculate on the king's mind. But you yourself have eyeliner in the palace early... This is different from what you taught ah."

"It's different." The old prime minister sneered. The old eyes naturally showed the majesty of the prime minister of the empire: "What is your status now? Minister of Military Affairs... Huh. But you are young and lack qualifications. You are in the military department. You may not be able to mobilize those big bosses. Your current status is noble and honorable. You can be regarded as the first-class minister of the empire. But if you really talk about the power in your hands, I am afraid that even the second-rate may not be able to touch it! The position is high but the power is not important... You are like this With your identity, I will teach you not to speculate on the king's mind, that is the right way, and it is also for your own good."

talking. The old man sighed a little tiredly: "I am different. I have been rolling in the pool of the imperial capital since I was twenty years old. From the Finance Department, the Imperial Etiquette Department, the Supervision Department, and the Military Command. Rolling all the way. After four years, the governor. It can be said that every department in this empire. Every official position. I have sat in almost all of them! Finally, I was the prime minister of the empire. It took half my life. In my position, it sounds better. It's under one person, above ten million people, it's hard to say..."

The old man suddenly smiled sarcastically: "If I meet a fatuous emperor, I will be in control. He says crows are white land, but he only knows it is white land!! Of course. This is disobedience, I certainly have no land, But...an ordinary courtier. You don't have to speculate on the emperor's mind, you can just be a pure "courtier". But... I can't! The prime minister of the empire can't! No! So, the things I teach you not to do are from your standpoint. But, from my standpoint, it is necessary to do it!"

Since the old man let go of his heart. He simply said frankly: "I understood it in the early years. The position of the prime minister of the empire holds the government of a country. It can no longer be regarded as a pure minister, but... half a monarch and half a minister! Therefore, the mind of that person in the palace, I You must always understand. In fact, this kind of thing has happened in all ages. I had an eyeliner in the imperial city in my early years, and it has been there for many years. It's not easy to expose." Immediately. The old man gave Camisiro a sideways look: "It's just unexpected that these people also know that I am dying. They actually took refuge in you."

Camisiro laughed dryly: "As long as you are human, you have to find a way out for yourself. Anyway, this home will be mine in the future. Are you still going to hide it from me for the rest of your life?"

Camisiro didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "A few days ago, you fell ill in winter and couldn't manage the affairs. I take care of the affairs of this family. As a result, there are some strange secrets in the daily internal affairs of the family. The letter was delivered, but I didn’t know where it came from. My curiosity arose, so I checked it out, only to find that the contents of the secret letter were written in secret language. Even if ordinary people get it, they can’t read it. I understand—but you have forgotten what I do. I was the regent. I worked as an undercover agent for the eldest prince for ten years. I am very familiar with this kind of secret writing and using passwords. But Mu. You and Eyeliner in the palace. Those secret words are actually not very clever. I deciphered it after a little effort, and finally found out. The letter actually contains news from the palace, let alone unexpected. You are so Over the years. There has been eyeliner in the imperial city. The letter. It is nothing more than some trivial things, such as how the regent is eating recently. What kind of temper did little Emperor Charles lose? What books did Princess Karina read? How much is the regent? I was busy with government affairs and didn't go to see the queen and princess... ".

"Hmph. I'm not trying to rebel. I don't need to inquire about any major matters. I just need to know these trivial matters. I can have a general grasp of the situation in the palace." The old prime minister shook his head: "If I really inquire about some secrets The words. I am afraid that this eyeliner has been exposed decades ago!"

"It's just that trivial things are still valuable in the end." Camisiro smiled bitterly: "There have been many new doctors in the palace recently, so I'm paying attention to this matter."

The old man pondered for a moment: "Since you also know, it seems that my eyeliner in the court has been subdued by you. Well, anyway, these will be handed over to you sooner or later..."

talking. The old man turned around. He found a pen from the table, and slowly wrote several lines on a piece of white paper.

He looked up at Camisiro: "I have been an eyeliner in the imperial city for decades. Over the years, I have never deliberately pryed into the secrets of the royal family. But I pay attention to some seemingly ordinary daily things. You must know , Actually, many seemingly simple little things, on the contrary, tell you a lot of secrets!"

He handed over this piece of paper: "It has always been the internal affairs of the palace. The court physicians will regularly purchase some medicinal materials. They will be kept in the palace for backup. Over the years, what medicine to buy and how much to buy. It has become a rule, and Those court magicians... Hmph, the magicians use special potions. Originally they bought land from the magic union, but the palace magicians and the magic union are not the same, so the internal affairs of the palace have always been responsible for regular purchases. Since the beginning of last year Start. The palace's internal affairs purchase list began to change. Every time you buy, there will be some special medicinal materials and magic potions that were not there before. Not surprising. It may be some kind of magical research conducted by a magician. There is a temporary need, but. Since the beginning of last year. The monthly list. There are so many things, although the number of varieties changes occasionally. But some of them Medicine. But it has remained the same.”

He flicked the piece of paper in his hand: "It's written on this paper. It's in the list of purchasing places in the past few months. I didn't care about the new varieties that have appeared more than usual. But according to the example, I still sent people to remote places in the south. I asked a doctor to inquire, and figured out the functions and efficacy of the medicines on this list, so I calculated it. Our regent..."

The old man frowned tightly and sighed silently.

Camisiro took a look. But firmly in my heart. Turning around, he took the paper and walked to a candle in the house, and put the paper on it. Burned to ashes.

He stood by the fire, and the flames reflected on his face. The young face flickered: "Since you have said everything...then, you must give me a clear explanation...in case, on that day, His Highness is gone, and Duke Tulip is with you again. The royal family is in trouble, what should I do!"

The old man closed his eyes: "I'm afraid I won't survive this spring... I won't see the day you mentioned, but if there is such a day, you..."

The door of the room was closed tightly, and there were two important officials of the empire, one old and one young. No one hears the conversation in this room. And the night wind outside gradually picked up, blowing the treetops in the yard, making rustling noises, as if all the voices of the conversation inside the house were covered up in this piece of night...

Nine hundred and sixty-six years of the empire. The last day of March.

Eastern stronghold of the Kaspersky Line.

The dug artificial canal is on the south bank of the river. Originally in winter. Some temporary barracks were built along the river. These are the river workers who need to be mobilized. There are also several infantry regiments stationed in winter. In order to ensure that the river does not freeze in winter, these people are prepared. It was originally carved out of ice in winter.

As a result, this warm winter made all these preparations useless. At the beginning of spring, the river workers and troops stationed by the river were transferred back. And in those temporary barracks, there are still a large number of subway chisels prepared. shovel. Iron hoes and other tools have never been shipped back.

Not far to the south. It is the eastern fortress, although this fortress is slightly smaller than the main fortress in the central region. However, it can also be called a rare big city on the mainland. Six divisions of the imperial army are stationed in this fortress, and the Storm Legion, which encloses three divisions, is the main force. In addition, three selected elites from the local garrison mobilized from various places, in addition to about 60,000 river workers and civilian husbands, and logistics and logistics troops. .

On the east side of the fortress, a gap was opened in the city wall. A tall water tower was built. Below it is a 50-meter-wide diversion channel, which leads directly to the canal. This allows the transport fleet on the river to transport the delivered materials directly to the city.

After the beginning of spring, the weather is getting warmer day by day. Because there is a big river here as a natural barrier, and there are imperial naval warships patrolling on the river, and a small-scale warship fleet is stationed downstairs in the water walled city on the east side of the fortress. Therefore, the scout cavalry of the empire still patrols out of the city every day, patrolling back and forth along the south bank of the canal.

From this point of view, the situation on the eastern defense line is much easier than that of the central fortress.

Although those barbaric racial enemies had underwater attacks on the fleet last year, but after that kind of attack happened several times, it never happened again. It lasted for half a year. But nothing new happened. Finally, he gradually relaxed.

On this morning. A centurion cavalry came out from the north gate of the fortress, first patrolled around the northern end of the fortress, and then divided into two teams, along the south bank of the canal. All the way to the left. Go all the way to the right to patrol.

These are the elite cavalry of the Storm Legion. Wearing thick armor, carrying a cross-cut sword held in one hand on his back, and a cavalry spear hanging immediately.

Because the weather is getting warmer, the water flow on the big river is slow. The morning sun shines on the river. Dyed the calm river into a faint golden halo.

The cavalry looked relaxed, the eastern line of defense. There has been no major battle since the war began. Those savage race enemies must also know that the big river is insurmountable. So there has been no attack on this place - it's just heard. After spring. Central to the main fortress. They fought two more fierce battles, and I heard that even the magicians were dispatched, and a new holy rank powerhouse appeared in the empire to help in the battle.

The cavalry is led by a captain. He rode his horse slowly, looking at the north bank from time to time. Usually, I occasionally see some wolf cavalry patrolling from the other side on the north bank. It's just that there is a big river, and those wolf cavalry can't come over. At most, the two sides looked at each other across the river for a while. And leave it at that.

Today this team of cavalry out of the city. After walking for less than a meal, I suddenly saw that the cavalry captain in front raised his hand. The team stopped immediately.

The cavalry captain turned his head, his face was a little ugly: "Listen!"

Many cavalry stopped their horseshoes together. Sure enough, I heard a thick and rhythmic sound of "Hua Hua! Hua Hua! Hua Hua!" faintly coming from the north!

The voice seemed to be still far away. But gradually, gradually, it faintly approached.

And looked at the riverside beside him. The ground water on the river surface seemed to be included in this sound, and the surface of the water was slight. And with a rhythmic shock, a shock...

The cavalry captain immediately took out the binoculars. Looking towards the north bank, he only took one look, and he immediately shook his body, and his face suddenly changed!

Inside the barrel of a small telescope. The picture that appeared: On the vast wilderness north of the river, from a distance, the sky is full of the earth. Boundlessly. One by one like ants. The ground is densely packed with darkness. Head shaking. Swords and guns are like a black forest of steel!

Thousands of feet trampled on the ground with a neat rhythm! The sound of the neat footsteps, like thunder, struck people's hearts, as well as the phalanx march. The tinkling sound of armor colliding turned into a piece. Like a chilling note...  .
