Chapter 933
The Duke of Barrett secretly purchased the Sapphire Shipyard in January, and then avoided the scrutiny of Bybron City Trade in March, trying to privately transport [-] tons of crude oil through the Great Glacier Shelf to other countries for processing and production. Originally, several dukes were involved in this matter, and under the support of many people, they thought they would do it without anyone noticing. Who knew that when the ship passed the glacier shelf, it actually ran aground, causing Five thousand tons of crude oil leaked, and then Duke Barrett sent his men to destroy the evidence, erasing all the trademarks on the hull, like a pirate refitting a ghost ship, turning it into a glacier shelf. The ghost ship, because of the ship's accident, led to the negligence of the Bybron port and was condemned by all parties. The Duke of Stoke also secretly investigated. After checking the internal parts of the hull, it was finally found that it was built by the Sapphire Shipyard. Because it involved the Duke of Barrett, and the interior was complicated, the Duke of Stoke temporarily suppressed this matter.

Unexpectedly, now Duke Barrett's son, Myla, took advantage of this situation to make an argument, which made Su Zixuan also stand up and refute back.

The people around were suddenly in an uproar. They looked at Myla standing in front of them and Duke Barrett on the duke seat. The expressions of the several dukes on the table who were related to this matter could not be expressed at the moment. Pale, staring at the Eagle Queen above the seat from the corner of her eyes, searching for every subtle change on the Eagle Queen's face.

Myla stood there, her face red and white, like a constantly changing slideshow, speechless. He was originally trained by Barrett to be his successor, and his tongue was very sharp, but when the righteous Su Zixuan In front of him, he suddenly felt that he couldn't say a word of the speech he had prepared. Under the indifferent appearance of the woman in front of him, there seemed to be a deep confidence hidden. He believed that no matter what he said, he would be taken the first step. Debunk and see through.

"Let's talk about this later! Myla, do you still want to lose face!?" Duke Barrett reprimanded his son severely, and his heart broke out in cold sweat.

Mai La clenched her fists, and then sat down straight.

Su Zixuan gave a slight salute to the crowd, and then returned to his seat. The hearts of a group of noble youths around him were captured in that instant.

The empress looked at Su Zixuan, with some approval in her eyes. The decisiveness and wisdom shown by this girl made the empress admire. Su Zixuan met the empress's eyes and smiled slightly. The empress nodded, and then turned to the big banquet table and the candlesticks The light of the flames shone into her eyes, giving them some sparkling luster.

The two dukes next to him nodded repeatedly, and leaned into each other's ears and said, "Hehe, I never thought that the Duke of Stoke would be so handsome, and his daughter would be equally handsome. I heard that the Queen's grandson, Prince Amode, has no girl he likes so far. The daughter of the Duke of Stoke, with that kind of appearance and temperament, I dare to bet you that Prince Amode will not be tempted either!"

"Duke Babbitt, this is the first time I dare not bet with you this year. I admit that this girl's appearance and temperament, I guarantee that any man of her age will not fall in love with him, but not Knowing what will happen to the two of them when they meet Prince Amode."

The two dukes are at one o'clock on the right of the Eagle Queen. The conversation between the two dukes is already very low, but it does not prevent these voices from clearly entering the ears of the Eagle Queen. Although the Eagle Queen is old enough to be considered a grandmother , but her own sense of hearing and thinking have not diminished at all, and her energy is abnormally strong, which is why she was able to be re-elected as the top leader of the country.

"Raise your glass." The Eagle Queen picked up the sherry in front of her, and the dukes and guests in front of her raised their glasses one after another. There was a sound of sleeves flicking like a military parade on the table.When the Eagle Queen picked up the wine glass, she glanced at the Duke of Stoke inadvertently, and then the taste of sherry entered her throat, with a slightly spicy warm feeling.

The royal dinner lasted until eleven o'clock at night, and the crowds of nobles slowly rested. Although the entire dinner was hosted by the Eagle Queen, the actual protagonists were the two father and daughter of the Duke of Stoke's family. One is the Duke of Stoke, the number one master swordsman in the nobility, and the other is his daughter, Su Zixuan, who attracts the attention of all the men in the venue. After this dinner, the family of the Duke of Stoke spread throughout the aristocratic class again.

If many aristocrats remember well, the last time the reputation of the Duke of Stoke’s family spread was 16 years ago, before the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament, the newly promoted leader of the Stoke family, Barbara, who inherited the title of Duke of Stoke for a new generation. Mal, threatened that his sword would shine with the light of precious stones, resplendent on the top trophy of the swordsmanship competition.

At that time, everyone just regarded this matter as a boastful brat, and only thought it was a laughing stock. All the nobles who participated in the swordsmanship competition had great ambitions and looked down on each other, but as A qualified aristocrat lies in that you have to hide your pride quietly, and this Duke of Bamar is naturally just an arrogant upstart kid who has inherited the title of Duke, and he doesn't understand what it means to be beyond others.

So almost all the nobles above the swordsmanship competition were preparing to see this joke called Bamar boy, the title of "upstart Duke Bamar little boy" became popular in the noble circles of the entire Eagle Empire at that time.

Then they really saw what is meant by the swordsmanship that combines the strengths of various Eastern families. The heavyweight figures in the Eagle Empire's swordsmanship were defeated in front of the Duke of Stoke one by one, so that people really saw that Stoke who was originally ridiculed by them. The Duke of Tok's bold words about winning the championship, the moment reality came true, many people simply could not accept that such a nobleman among the many brats, his swordsmanship was so good that he drew his sword to the point of the Eagle Empire, but in Baba The moment Duke Marr knelt down to be awarded the medal, everyone remembered "Prodigal Bamar", but forgot that he also had a name called "Duke Bamar Nouveau riche".

Today, 16 years later, the reputation of the Duke of Stoke's family has once again spread among these new and old nobles who have changed, but he is no longer fighting alone as he was 16 years ago. The nobles of the Eagle Empire once again saw the extraordinary demeanor of the legendary duke and her daughter.

"Li Sansi, is everything you said really true!?" The quiet voice on the phone was very solemn. After all, anyone who heard that there was a communication channel between the wanted persons would feel that Shocked, the reason why Dalin Temple is worried is that on the one hand, this group of wanted persons leaked to the outside, because of its own superior ability, the negative effects brought about are quite large, and on the other hand, what Dalin Temple is most afraid of is Or they can be assembled through some unknown method. Once assembled, such a group of people twisted together is basically a series of powerful forces. Once these people gather, it will be an unimaginable force.Wuxi knew the weight of this matter, so he confirmed it again and again.

"I can guarantee that at least I heard this information from the female killer. They seem to have mistook me for a wanted person, and then revealed some information unpreparedly. The wanted person seems to be within the scope of the world. It seems to be connected through a five-pointed star symbol. I don't know why the other party attacked the Duke of Stoke, but one thing is certain, behind them is the one called 'Night' organize."

The coast of London is quite quiet. Many fishing boats are brightly lit. Few fishermen are arranging the fishing nets and cymbal hinges on their boats. On the deck of the Halo, the mobile phone was answering Li Sansi's call. In the distance was the glorious city of London, and under the tall hull beside him, there were densely packed ships of all kinds in the port of London city.

Many people lived on those fishing boats or yachts. Did they raise their heads to look at the tall and magnificent hull of the Halo? The entire solemn hull seemed a bit abrupt under the surrounding small boats.

The ship kept shaking, and the hull of the Halo was accompanied by the slight undulations of the sea, sitting on the bow without interest, as if in peace, but the difference was that there was a bluetooth headset on the ear, a bald monk, in the The most advanced equipment is used on such a deck. Although it feels weird, it is true, "Li Sansi, this news is too shocking. If the wanted person is really what you said, they have decided on a way to contact them." , then things will be tricky. For so many years, the Dalin Temple has captured and killed a total of six wanted persons, including the D-level wanted person you eliminated last time, and the wanted persons who were relieved of threats are only seven. That is to say, it represents the entire wanted person running around the world, and there are as many as 29 people. If these people gather together, Amitabha. Only in China can we mobilize all forces to suppress these people. If they are in the Eagle Empire Together, the overall crusade strength of Dalin Temple will be much weaker. There is no way to mobilize all of them to attack them. If that is the case, we can only unite with the Eagle Empire in the name of the country and ask them to give us convenient conditions. Let's attack each other together!"

Li Sansi moved his lips, and said, "Abbot, there is a sentence that has always been in my heart. I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

"Say it!" Wuxi exhaled a puff of white smoke, the winter night was already cold, but he didn't want to add more clothes, because now his heart was also cold.

"To be honest, the Dalin Temple has existed for so long, and its mission is to fight against a secret organization that existed in history, but so far, there is no clue that this organization continues to exist, and there is no sign that it does exist. Then a group of people are active around the world with the science called fate control. Perhaps due to various reasons, those who master fate control have not been able to pass on this science. Perhaps the numerology organization did not exist at all. Dalin Temple may have experienced the biggest lie in the world. An eminent monk built a temple in a remote place with the purpose of resisting this organization one day. But in fact, we are all opened up by history. It’s a huge joke, what those legends, unofficial records and all kinds of seemingly evidence point to, actually don’t exist at all!”

Wuxi was shocked, his eyes were blurred, and even his voice trembled, "What do you mean? Dalin Temple was simply deceived by a historical joke. The order-controlled organization that we have considered as a potential enemy for a long time, you mean that the historical evidence we have collected all the time was originally non-existent, and the justice that we have devoted countless people’s youth and life to believe in does not exist Is it?"

Wuxi's words obviously had some trembling accents, just thinking about the painstaking efforts of dozens of generations, who have been sticking to the most remote areas for a long time, a group of people who firmly believe in their own beliefs and justice, what they have gained What they want to tell them is that everything and everything in the past is a fact that does not exist. What they insist on is illusory. A thing that only appeared in a dream, a joke of intertwined history, produced Dalin Temple, a thing that should not have existed, and denied the justice that they had experienced for dozens of generations. How can you accept it! ?
"No, we have the evidence in the historical records. We have collected many reasons for their existence. Those who have the astronomical numerology skills are equivalent to having wealth and benefits that can be obtained everywhere. Driven by such a motivation , the chances of this organization being created will be quite high!"

"Maybe, but in fact, those so-called historical evidences have been collected for a long time. Perhaps no one can tell the real history. Even Mr. Shui Jing's great success in Tianyan numerology, why can't he predict it?" Will someone steal his books and do evil for the world? All these inconsistencies may have really laid the foundation for those things that we have always thought to be correct. In fact, they are wrong and do not exist.”

Li Sansi's voice was like a sentence, every syllable hit Wuxi's heart heavily, and it was like an extremely sharp spear, piercing through the justice that he had believed in for many years in his heart So much so that they became one with him and could not be separated.

"Keep in touch." Wuxi took off the earphones, and suddenly felt unprecedented loneliness in the dark blue night sky around him and the undulating sea in the distance.

What kind of belief can make a person, or even a group of people, always uphold their own justice, and what kind of responsibility can make them sacrifice their youth and life, and even give up their ideals and future, and stick to the common Call it the land of justice.

But when all of this may be an illusory dream, when all of this may be a misunderstanding caused by the history that has been rolling past vigorously, when the sacrifices made in it and the beliefs of countless people going forward and going forward are all a battle. After the magnificent and poignant trajectory like running towards the sun, those justices that once believed in each other, insisted on it, and sacrificed for it with blood, have disappeared since then! ?

"Such a joke. We can't afford it." Tears welled up from Wuxi's old eyes, forming a lonely silhouette on the slightly undulating deck of the huge ship and the surrounding lights.
