[I'll do it! What about you!]
At dinner time, Diego called for a sumptuous dinner for Merry and Merry. When they first arrived in the imperial capital, they were still a little unaccustomed to human food, but now they knew how to enjoy the stimulation of delicious food on their taste buds. However, the problem that followed was that their mouths had already been raised by the chef of the manor at the First Prince's manor. Not all food could be casually delivered to their mouths now. Places like Sharp Stone City were already hard to live in, so their requirements for food were naturally not as high as in the imperial capital. It was already good that the chef of the hotel didn't give you a piece of burnt bread, so this plate of roasted lamb leg with leeks was a little more salt. The pie made with carrots, smoked meat, and mushrooms was a little too hot, and the plate of pepper mixed with wild boar minced meat forgot to go with mint leaves, and so on. In Diego's opinion, it was all excusable.
However, Merry and the other two women were very picky, and they even discussed whether to burn down the hotel. Diego sighed and ate silently, wondering where Stark had gone and hadn't come back yet.
Just as he was thinking this, the door to the room was pushed open and Stark walked in, still wearing his cloak. However, his aura was weak, and there was an obvious smell of blood. Merry and the other two girls cried out softly, no longer caring about judging the food, and the two of them flashed towards Stark. One closed the door, the other supported him and asked with concern, "Master, how are you? Heavens, who hurt you like this? "
Stark took off his cloak hat. His face was weak before, and purple blood was slowly dripping from the corners of his eyes and nose. His blood was purple with a faint golden fluorescence. It was very strange, and at the same time, he could feel the energy contained within it. But at this time, Stark seemed to be unable to stop the bleeding in his body. For an expert of his level, this was an absolute serious injury.
Diego knew very well how strong Stark was, and what kind of person could seriously injure him to this extent?
Stark waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. However, he didn't look like he was fine. The two girls hurriedly helped him sit down. After resting for a while, Stark said, "As expected of one of the top experts on this planet. Under such circumstances, I even used the second stage of reverse blood to succeed." If we fight under normal circumstances, the outcome will be difficult to determine. "
"Master, who injured you?" Mei Li asked again.
Stark looked at Diego and smiled, "You should know what they call that person. It seems to be called Tangerio. That should be the name. "
"Tangerio?" Diego opened his mouth wide and continued for a long time, "You … are you going to deal with the Great Emperor? But the Emperor should be in Oliska right now. "
"His ability to keep secrets is indeed not bad. Unfortunately, ever since I promised Howson to help him seize power, I used my own methods to monitor that fierce man in the palace. Unfortunately, he couldn't hide his departure from me, and it was rare for him to leave a place like the Imperial Palace. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Otherwise, in that palace, I also sensed two other tyrannical auras. Although they are not as strong as your king's, even I would find it difficult to deal with them together. "
"So the Great Emperor went to the Raging Flames Castle secretly? Then what about him now? "Diego couldn't help but ask.
"Him?" Stark laughed, "I'm already injured like this. Do you think he'll be better? Of course not. If I'm not mistaken, he won't survive to return to Oliska. In this way, it's natural for Howson to become the new king of this country. I've fulfilled my promise to him. Next, it's time for him to repay me. "
Diego whispered, "I'm afraid the First Prince won't like you to fulfill your promise in this way."
"Oh, I'm really sorry. His personal preferences are not my consideration."
Diego's eyes turned. Now that Stark was seriously injured, it might be a good time to leave him. Although he wasn't on Allen's side, Stark was too dangerous. Diego didn't know what would happen next to him. Naturally, the farther away such a dangerous person was, the better. Moreover, Tangerio was probably about to fall now. Once the Great Emperor left, the empire would definitely be in chaos. Whether it was staying by Stark's side or Howson's side, it would be a hundred times more dangerous. Diego didn't want to lose his life.
"I know what you're thinking." Stark suddenly said, "You'd better just think about it, because if you really do that. Trust me, you won't like me to do that to you. "
Diego broke out in cold sweat.
"We'll go back to Oliska tomorrow. You can go out first." Stark waved his hand.
After Diego retreated, Stark let out a long sigh. The two girls brought water to wipe the blood off his face and asked, "Master, what are you sighing for?"
"It's a pity that a great opportunity is right in front of me. I hate that I couldn't be distracted at that time and could only give up in vain." Stark looked at the clear water in the iron basin, and the water reflected his face under the light. However, with a shake of the water, the face inside seemed to have turned into another person.
Allen!
At that time, Stark had already discovered Allen, but at that time, he had already been severely injured by Tangerio and had no strength left to kill Allen, so he could only give up decisively and leave quickly. Stark was afraid that if he walked any slower, he would lose his mind and attack Allen under the constant call of the bloody path. That would instead put him in an irreversible situation.
Don't worry. He told himself that since he had already met, there would always be a chance in the future. Not to mention far away, a little closer, it was time for him to return to Oliska. Thinking of this, Stark laughed, and then a sharp pain struck his brain. Even with his perseverance, he almost fainted.
Tangerio's full-force counterattack was no joke.
It was still a day's journey from Oliska.
After Tangerio and Allen brought him back to Blazing Flames Castle, Woodrick left the adjutant to take care of the affairs of Blazing Flames Castle while he organized an elite to escort the emperor back to Oliska. That evening, the team camped in the wilderness to rest. The Great Emperor had not woken up since he fainted, which made the people accompanying him extremely worried. The longer he was unconscious, the more serious the Great Emperor's injuries were.
For the first time, Woodrick felt terrified. He didn't dare imagine what it would be like for the empire to lose Tangerio.
That was definitely a disaster.
There was a voice in his heart.
Suddenly, someone came out of the king's tent. Lucy, who was in charge of taking care of the emperor along the way, hurriedly said, "General, you have to come in. The emperor is awake. Has anyone seen His Highness Julian? "
Woodrick was delighted at first, but when he saw the worry on Lucy's face, his heart became heavy again. He quickly found Julian and Allen and followed Tangerio's advice to meet him in the king's tent. The three of them got into the tent. It was deathly silent here. Although the lights were lit, Tangerio's square face was waxy under the light of the flames. Although he had woken up, his eyes were dim, and he had already reached the point of terminal lucidity.
