"That's surprising." Tangerio put down his knife and fork and laughed, "Then those guys in the investigation team must be overjoyed. They don't always complain that the development of the Blood King's Cemetery is too slow. Now, there's another new ruin for them to kill time. "
Tangerio picked up a glass of milk with raw eggs beside him and drank it clean. He wiped his mouth casually, so his black beard was covered with milk and egg yolk. The Great Emperor didn't care at all and began to destroy the second plate of steak. "Like the Blood King's Cemetery, it's a labyrinth building?"
"I'm not sure yet. It will take at least half a month for the new news to come back."
"It better not be a maze." Tangerio laughed dryly, "When the Blood King's Cemetery was discovered, it was because it was a maze building. I don't know how many floors there are underground." Therefore, he simply opened it to the adventurers and used the bounty to buy the information they obtained in the maze. Although this method prevents us from investing too much military power in one place for a long time, the progress is still unsatisfactory. There was nothing he could do about it. The lower the maze, the more terrifying the creatures in the ruins would be. At first, some small adventurer teams could still participate, but later on, they would either have to form a group or have a super expert in charge to have a chance of going deeper. "
"The top experts of the Ten Saints disdain to participate in this kind of adventure. As for the second level experts, if they don't have the same powerful backup, it will be hard." The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes and said, "However, the maze of the Blood King's Cemetery is almost at the bottom. If the new ruins of the Wilderness Highlands are also open to them, it should set off a new wave of exploration. However … "
"Is there a problem?" The Great Emperor raised his head.
Nabott crossed his fingers and said, "Don't forget, we sent the investigation team to the South because of the phenomenon in the Wilderness Highlands. His Majesty shouldn't forget the so-called phenomenon. Skyfire pierced through the sky. No matter how you look at it, it looks like it's sending some kind of signal. In this way, the ruins of the Wilderness Highlands might still be operating. And … "
"There's a Celestial involved?" Tangerio looked at his Prime Minister and laughed, "That's interesting. I didn't expect that in my generation, I would have the chance to see a living Celestial instead of dealing with their objects and relics. "
"It's just a possibility. But looking at the last ten years, there haven't been any obvious signs, so you'd better not be too happy. Besides, do you still have time to pay attention to any Celestial? I say, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been fighting secretly for some time, and what should be brushed long ago. If you don't announce the assessment items, the remaining princes won't be able to sit still. "
Tangerio chuckled and said, "Prime Minister wants to inquire about the exam questions for your student from me so that he can prepare early?"
Nabott slammed his palm on the table and said angrily, "Am I such a person?"
Not far away, Erin jumped in fright, thinking to himself that the Prime Minister was really something. Perhaps in the entire empire, only this Lord Nabott dared to slam the table in anger at the Great Emperor. If it was Roderick, he might not have the guts to do so.
Tangerio laughed and waved his hand. "Alright, alright, just take it as me having the heart of a villain. Fortunately, I am.., I., Tangerio., King., he., he, he.
..,....................... '"At most, His Majesty will punish me severely afterwards. Nabott has always disdained to do such a thing. If you don't dare to say or do anything, what do you want this bullshit Prime Minister for? "
"You, you, this bad temper is really like a day for ten years. No wonder Roderick has been at odds with you all these years." Tangerio pointed to the important minister beside him and smiled.
Nabott snorted, "Roderick is militaristic and overjoyed. Right now, our Bailey Empire is indeed rich and strong, but if we want to go on an expedition to the Shadow Duchy, our national strength will retreat for at least ten years. This is even counting the benefits of our Marshal Roderick's great victory! Moreover, Roderick is already old and is at the extreme of martial ministers. Why is he still so greedy for merit and power? Could it be that he wants to be bestowed with a hereditary duke by His Majesty and become the fifth duke of our empire? "
The Prime Minister looked at the Great Emperor and said, "I don't believe that this old fool can't see that His Majesty is suppressing the Shadow Duchy." First, we are worried about the loss of national strength. Second, His Majesty and our ministers are old, so there is no need for any military merits to decorate them. Therefore, the Shadow Duchy was clearly used to build momentum for the future crown prince. However, it is inconvenient for His Majesty to say that I am not afraid of being remembered by Roderick day and night, so I will not let him go on this point. "
Tangerio smiled, but his eyes quietly sharpened, "My good Prime Minister, it is not that our Marshal Roderick does not know." On the contrary, he knew too well. He knew that once the crown prince was established, attacking the Shadow Duchy would have nothing to do with him. That's why he wanted to lead his troops to attack before I could establish the crown prince. Well, let's make this great contribution first, and then you might as well think about it. When the new Emperor sits on the throne in the future, with our Marshal Roderick's great contributions, I'm afraid the new Emperor will have to be obedient to him. At that time, Roderick will be much more glorious than any Grand Duke of the Empire. "
"What a good plan. In that case, I underestimated Old Roderick."
"That's because you don't have as much ambition as he does." Tangerio paused for a moment and said, "But speaking of the Shadow Duchy, those outsiders have been moving again recently. Didn't they say last time that they were all thinking about the South? "
Nabott nodded and said, "It's only those outsiders who want to use the South as an entry point." But even I, who don't understand military law, know that from the south to the north, not to mention the long journey, there are also many checkpoints. How could it be so simple to invade the north from the south? In turn, we can send troops to cut off their supplies to the south and then devour their invading troops behind closed doors. Or we can drag their main force to death in the south, and we can go straight to their lair. "At that time, they will definitely be at a loss, and we will also have an opportunity to take advantage of them."
Tangerio clapped his hands and said, "Alright, Prime Minister. Why don't I give you another chief of staff? "
"That won't do. I'm just talking on paper. Besides, Roderick is the only one who enjoys going to the battlefield. I don't want to find trouble for myself. "
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
After a moment of silence, Nabott looked at the Great Emperor.
Tangerio rolled his eyes and said, "If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to fart, say it."
"Your Majesty, just treat me as a villain for nothing. You can see Roderick, but don't mistake Mason. With all due respect, Archduke Sword Lord's threat is no less than Roderick's, or even greater! "
Tangerio, who had been laughing and talking just now, suddenly darkened when he heard this. Just as Erin felt that the atmosphere in the camp was different, the Great Emperor smashed his palm on the long table. The long table instantly shattered, and the plates and cups on the table instantly shattered. Between Tangerio and Nabott, there was a mess. The Emperor's thunderous rage caused Erin and the other guards' legs to weaken, and they all knelt on the ground.
Only Nabott was still sitting, and he was looking at the furious Tangerio with his eyes.
The Great Emperor said in a deep voice, "Nabott, don't you think you're being presumptuous? I can allow you to attack the empire, and even turn against many old friends; I can also allow you to seek a position for a concubine; I can also allow you to suppress the Marshal of the Empire. But that doesn't mean I'll allow you to be unscrupulous and openly impeach the Duke of the Empire, my brother Mason! "Do you know that if it weren't for Mason's strong support back then, if it weren't for him taking that fatal blow for me, there wouldn't be this Tangerio now!"
Facing the furious Great Emperor, Nabott did not give in at all. "That's why I have to remind Your Majesty. His Majesty is a nostalgic person, so he can allow Mason to dominate the four dukes of the empire; He can tolerate Mason's family getting wind and rain. He even married the sister of the Sword Lord and intended to nurture the Fourth Prince to become the Crown Prince! Even Mason openly violated the agreement between the empire and the Naga Clan, ignoring Mason's intention to touch the Spring of Immortality. But Your Majesty, if you don't see Mason's ambition again, I'm afraid the empire will change hands! "
Erin's body trembled. He only hated that he wasn't deaf. Otherwise, he wouldn't have heard such a terrifying thing.
Tangerio's chest rose and fell, and the aura he exhaled sounded like muffled thunder. It was like a dragon that was about to explode and injure people.
Nabott remained calm and said, "Back then, Mason also participated in the competition for the crown prince. He later supported His Majesty, but Mason felt that he could not do it." But after all these years, did His Majesty not know that Mason could not forget that throne? Even the seat in his mansion was 70% similar to His Majesty's Iron Throne. Who in the empire didn't know about Mason's heart? His Majesty doesn't know, but he doesn't want to know, right? "
Tangerio said coldly, "Nabott, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you in a fit of anger?"
"That's even better," Nabott said casually. "Even if His Majesty wants to forget what I said today, I'm afraid he won't be able to. As long as His Majesty remembers it, Nabott will be worthy of the hat of Prime Minister. "
The Great Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Nabott for a moment. The invisible pressure in the camp quietly dissipated. Tangerio shook his head and scolded, "You, you're sure I don't want to kill you. Get out of here right now. Half a month's salary will be deducted. You're not allowed to mention it again. "
Nabott was not angry but happy. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your subordinate knows."
Tangerio turned around and said, "Erin, take this annoying fellow away. Also, give me a few more steaks and have someone clean up this place! "
Erin hurriedly gestured to the guards behind him. Naturally, someone went to inform the chef and servants, and then carefully sent Nabott out of the camp. Only when the horse stopped outside the camp did Erin whisper, "Your Excellency is truly courageous. I bet even Marshal Roderick doesn't dare to offend His Majesty like this."
Nabott shook his head and said, "You don't understand. His Majesty knows better than anyone. However, there are some things that he can't say, so I, the Prime Minister, have to do it for him. "
