Chapter 123 Bloody Banquet
At the same time, in the palace, a banquet was being held.
Men and women wearing heavy makeup and costumes were dancing to the sound of music. However, although each of them tried to act like they were enjoying the banquet, it could be seen from their nervous eyes and tense faces that these guests were not. Not as comfortable as they appear.
At this moment, their eyes were resting between the three figures on the stage.
“It’s a great achievement for my brother to recapture Mordheim.”
Looking at the sturdy young man in front of him, the second prince smiled and raised his glass.
"Now it seems that you are the emperor of the empire, and you deserve it."
“Huh, this is natural.”
The eldest prince sat on a chair, shaking the wine glass in his hand, staring at the second prince next to him with his eyes. He had never liked his younger brother, who was as thin and small as a monkey. Now that he saw him trying to please himself, the eldest prince still didn''t look happy at all.
“Hey, hey, everyone knows that my brother is the most powerful.”
The third prince on the other side was immersed in food and wine as always. His figure was as round as a ball, and even the fine silk produced in Cathay was stretched tightly. It looked like A human-shaped ball with short arms and legs.
Two wastes.
The eldest prince put away the disdain deep in his heart and looked at the two people again.
"Then, since you have admitted it, according to the agreement, it is time to hand over the sacred objects you hold to me."
“It’s natural.”
The second prince took out a scepter as long as an arm and studded with white diamonds, and placed it on the table. The third prince stretched out his hand with difficulty and took off a necklace with a disc hanging from his neck, which was almost too fat to be seen.
?Those are the other two holy objects, the scepter of the wind **** and the wrath of the earth god.
Seeing this scene, the eldest prince raised his eyebrows and was about to reach out to get it. However, at this moment, the second prince suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the scepter.
“Wait a minute, Brother Emperor, did you forget something?”
"What''s up?"
"According to the regulations of the empire, only those who have collected the four sacred objects can be qualified to become the emperor. I believe that the hammer of the God of Fire is in the hands of the emperor, so... where is the gift of the God of Water?"
…………”
Hearing the second prince''s inquiry, the eldest prince''s face darkened.
"This has nothing to do with you. In fact, I think it is meaningless. There is no heir, and the existence of the gift from the Water God is of little significance. Just as it happens, I think it is not worth advocating for the empire to choose the emperor in this way. Method, so I plan to reform the empire’s emperor succession system.”
“This system is indeed heartbreaking. In order to become emperor, brothers have to fight against each other. It is really heartbreaking... But rules are rules, so I want to see the gift of the water god..."
Having said this, the second prince narrowed his eyes, stared at the eldest prince and smiled.
“Could it be said that the emperor went to the City of Silver with all his troops, but in the end he didn’t find the gift from the Water God?”
"………snort!"
?Hearing his younger brother Mianli Zangzhen''s question, the eldest prince snorted coldly. Just as the second prince said, the biggest reason why the eldest prince mobilized troops to recapture the Silver City was to find the gift from the Water God. According to the clues he got from a certain royal source, the gift from the Water God should be placed in the temple of the City of Silver. As a result, when the eldest prince led his troops to repel the plague believers and the rat army that occupied the city, and came to the temple, they found that the gift of the water **** seemed to have been taken away!
Who is it?
“To be honest, I also doubt this question.”
Glancing at the third prince who was still eating and drinking, the eldest prince stared at the second prince coldly.
"When I rushed to the temple in the City of Silver, the sacred objects that were supposed to be placed there were nowhere to be found. You and I both know very well that the barrier that protects the sacred objects cannot be broken except by people with direct bloodline from the royal family. of."
“Oh?”
The second prince showed a surprised expression.
“From what the emperor said, do you think I took it away?”
“This is Altdorf.”
The eldest prince stared at his younger brother with a very indifferent tone.
"And when you appear here, I think you should give me an explanation. No matter who it is, as long as you hand over the gift of the Water God, I will end this matter. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, then, I It will ensure that your power and status will not be threatened in any way.”
“However, as long as Brother Huang has a thought, we will all be dead.”
The second prince smiled softly.
“Brother Emperor, do you really think I will just sit back and wait to die?”
"You have no choice." Staring at the second prince, the eldest prince said coldly.
“Hehehehe.”
Facing the eldest prince’s words, the second prince suddenly laughed.
"Since the beginning, Brother Huang has been like this. He thinks that he is the best at everything, so he doesn''t care about what others think. Do you really think that all this is natural... No, I think Brother Huang also understands. "My father doesn''t like you at all. Otherwise, why would you collude with the barbarians in the North to assassinate my father?"
"you---!"
Hearing this, the eldest prince''s complexion suddenly changed, he slammed the table and stood up. Hearing the roar of the eldest prince, the senior noble officials below, who were already trembling with fear, were immediately frightened into silence. They stood there and did not dare to move. Even the music that was playing stopped at some point.
?However, the second prince was still sitting leisurely on the chair, shaking his wine glass, and looking at the eldest prince with interest.
"Isn''t it strange? Brother Emperor, why do I know all this? To be honest, I was shocked when I learned about this plan. I didn''t expect that Brother Emperor, who has always been tough in dealing with things, would actually adopt such a shameful method. The assassination trick."
"you………"
"You want to ask me how I know? The reason is actually very simple..."
The eldest prince did not hear what the second prince was saying, because at this moment, a sharp blade suddenly appeared from behind him and stabbed the eldest prince in the back. Years of experience in fighting made the eldest prince react instinctively the moment the sword came near. He tilted his body, and then the sharp blade penetrated the eldest prince''s body from behind and penetrated his lungs.
“Pfft——!”
The eldest prince suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. He turned around and saw that the person behind him was his confidant. At this moment, he was stabbing the dagger into his body with a ferocious smile.
"you……!"
?However, before the eldest prince could say anything, the latter suddenly turned the blade, and with a burst of severe pain, the eldest prince fell to the ground wailing.
The screams started.
?At this moment, the guests were trembling with fear, but the second prince stood up without caring, came to the eldest prince, and looked down at him.
"Brother, I''m afraid you haven''t thought of it. In fact, compared to you, a fool who has become a monk, I am the most loyal believer of the God of Changes. Do you think you can use the power of the God of Chaos without paying the price? Facts have proved that your stupidity is really speechless.”
"So, it was you who sent him to my side...and...taught me to believe in evil gods?"
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and stared at his younger brother fiercely, while the latter looked relaxed.
"What the emperor said is really ugly. What do you mean by instigation? I didn''t instigate the emperor to do anything. It was the emperor who asked the God of Changes for help, didn''t he? I just took advantage of the emperor''s plan... and now , it’s all over, brother emperor.”
As he spoke, the second prince lowered his head and stared at the eldest prince.
"This palace, this country, everything here is mine...and you, in the final analysis, are just a clown dancing in my palms, oh, and the dimensional stone you worked so hard to get, And the ritual - don’t worry, I will complete the ritual on your behalf and offer the sacrifices expected by the God of Change..."
“Hehehe, hehehe……”
?However, before the second prince finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of stupid laughter. He stood up helplessly and looked at the third prince who was sitting on the table and still stuffing chicken drumsticks into his mouth.
“My stupid brother, don’t you understand the current situation? Or are you so stupid that you can’t see it clearly?”
“I, I know, hehehe...”
??The fat third prince nodded vigorously.
“But, I don’t like it, hehehe... We are all brothers, why should we... fight? Everyone, dear, how great are you?"
“It seems you really don’t understand.”
Looking at the third prince who looked like a fool, the second prince snorted coldly.
"But that''s not important. Just listen to me and it will be fine. Do you understand? You idiot?"
“This, this is not good, this is not good.”
The third prince shook his head desperately.
“It’s best if we all work together, everyone together! That’s right, everyone works together!”
“Bang!”
As the third prince spoke, suddenly, the huge turkey in front of him suddenly exploded, and then countless cockroach-like reptiles crawled out and spread out in all directions. At the same time, the nobles who had eaten the food at the dinner also let out shrill screams. Their hands tore their skin painfully, and they saw that the skin that had been well maintained began to gradually swell, rot, and countless tiny Mosquitoes and flies came out of their mouths and ears, and every time they shouted, they would emit a dark green poisonous mist containing plague, which quickly filled the entire hall.
At the same time, the third prince raised his hand high, and with his movements, the clothes and skin on his body began to fall off, revealing his body mixed with abscesses and stench.
“Praise the loving father————!!”
