"This texture! This taste! How can it be so delicious?! "
Noah's eyes widened, and tears began to flow down his cheeks.
This delicious feeling was simply too touching.
This was a delicacy that could make an old man in his seventies shed tears and tear his clothes. Was this human nature …?
"You're a man, yet you're crying over a little dessert," Melander said with a disdainful expression.
Noah sniffed, and reminded, "Then pull up your clothes, Grandpa. Be mindful of your image."
The small egg yolk pastry was quickly eaten by the two of them.
The two of them looked at each other, and could see the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient for them to go out, they wouldn't have bothered to ask Mr. Mak to make them another egg yolk pastry.
"Come, let's eat." Noah brought out the braised chicken and sat down to eat.
Perhaps it was because he had been starving for two meals, but the braised chicken was particularly delicious today. Even the rice was becoming more and more fragrant as he chewed.
…
News of the fire at the general's residence and the assassination attempt on General Bloom had already spread throughout Rodu, and it had become a hot topic of discussion.
Connecting the dots to the massacre of several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of War two days ago, all of the officials of the royal court were in grave danger, and even the commoners were in a state of panic.
Furthermore, there were rumors that General Bloom had called out the name of the second prince, Josh, before his death, and the 10th-tier knight in charge of protecting him, Lille, had also mentioned Josh.
There were also rumors that Josh had issued the order to attack the orcs and elves behind the king's back, and that he had destroyed the families of several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of War in a fit of rage.
Of course, this kind of news couldn't be spread openly, but due to the fact that it was quite sensational and reasonable, it began to spread uncontrollably.
Of course, news of General Bloom's horrific death also began to spread. Some people said that he had encountered a ghost, while others said that Josh was the devil.
Regardless of which piece of news it was, they were both horrifying and nerve-wracking.
The fact that Josh hadn't been to court during this period of time also indirectly confirmed the authenticity of this piece of news.
In the royal study in the royal palace.
"Bastard!" Andre swept a tall stack of memorials to the ground as he yelled with rage.
The ministers in the imperial study lowered their heads in fear and trepidation, not daring to speak.
Lear stood in the corner, his head lowered nervously.
He had entered the palace the previous night to report this matter to His Majesty, upon which His Majesty was enraged. He ordered a dozen or so 10th-tier powerful beings to search the entire Rodu several times, but unfortunately, they were unable to find any suspects.
"Your Majesty, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated, but there are already rumors circulating among the people that His Highness Joshua has become a puppet of the devil and killed the entire family of the court officials. I believe that we should control the spread of such rumors," Richard said with a bow.
Andre's gaze fell on Richard, his gaze sharp.
Sweat began to bead on Richard's forehead.
"Then go and find Joshua. Have him explain himself to me personally," Andre said with an ice-cold voice.
"Your humble servant... does not know where His Highness Joshua is right now." Richard's voice was trembling slightly.
"Then how can you guarantee that he is innocent? Leer saw it with his own eyes. Bloom screamed his name before he died. Did you see his body? If he hadn't seen something so terrifying, would a general who had experienced hundreds of battles be scared to death? Would all the blood in his body have been sucked dry? "Andre's voice had become very sharp.
Richard immediately knelt onto the ground as beads of sweat began to flow from his forehead.
"Find him for me, but I don't want to hear any news about this anywhere else," Andre said coldly.
"Yes!"
All of the officials replied in unison, and a few of them hurriedly departed.
"Everyone else, take your leave. Lear, stay behind," Andre said.
All of the officials departed, leaving only Lear behind.
"Are you sure that the person you saw yesterday was Joshua?" Andre asked.
"Yes. Even though he was wearing a black robe, I injured him during our battle and just so happened to see his face. I can confirm that it was His Highness Joshua." Lear nodded in response.
"He's a magic caster and has never learned swordsmanship before." Andre's brows furrowed.
"His movement techniques were very strange, and he didn't engage in a direct battle with me. However, he was most likely no less powerful than a 9th-tier magic caster. Also, he gave off an unsettling aura that made me fearful as soon as I got close to him. "Lear recalled the battle with the black-robed man last night, and he still felt a chill down his spine.
Andre nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand, and said, "You may leave."
"Yes," Lear replied, and hurriedly left the royal study.
Andre sat down slowly. After a long silence, he looked at a corner, and said, "What do you think about this matter?"
"Your Majesty, Lear didn't lie. Bloom's corpse is indeed strange. I went to investigate the scene last night and indeed found a sinister demonic aura. Even though I can't confirm that it was done by His Highness the Second Prince, I'm afraid it has something to do with the devil." A black figure slowly appeared from the corner, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Find him and bring him back to see me," Andre said.
"Yes."
…
"What do we do now? It seems like Josh has really become the devil's puppet. He even killed Bloom. I'm afraid he will kill more people, start a war, and absorb more resentment, "Louis said as he leaned against the window, and looked at Douglas, who was sitting at the table.
"Seems like Andre doesn't want others to know about this. Even though he was set up by his son, he still bore all the responsibility silently after he came back," Douglas said coldly. "But we can't let him off just like that. If even he is controlled by the devil, there will be no more peace on the Norland Continent."
"So?"
"He wants to cover up his ugliness, so we'll rip off his underwear."
"Wow. Are you such a pervert?"
"What's wrong with men being perverted?"
"Very well. I like it. But, what are we going to do? "
"If he doesn't want others to know about this, then we'll let everyone on the Norland Continent know about it. We'll make Josh a target of scorn. Find him, and kill him," Douglas said coldly.
…
"I'm going out to get a letter," Meg said to Irina, and went out.
The Gray Temple had an office in Rodu. As an internal member with very high authority, Meg was already connected to the office on the first day he came to Chaos City, and received the latest intelligence every day.
This was much more convenient and accurate than him going out to search and purchase. Perhaps even Michael hadn't received such first-hand information yet.
