Early the next morning, the explosive news of the assassination of the Generalissimo spread throughout the alleys of Erie. This was a news a hundred times more sensational than the massacre in the church. The entire street had been blocked, with heavily armed guards coming and going. The military police went door to door to check and issued messages.

Crazy military police patrolled the streets, and martial law was temporarily imposed in the capital.

As one of the four giants of the Senian Empire, the Grand Marshal was the key to balancing the situation, but was inferior to other ordinary nobles. As soon as he died, the army immediately fell into chaos.

The two hundred security guards who witnessed the scene could not keep their mouths shut. Rumors had already spread, saying that the Prime Minister had assassinated the Generalissimo. This was no less than an earthquake. For a moment, everyone was in panic. Everyone was praying for the blessing of the Holy Light.

.The originally peaceful and peaceful Advent season was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror.

The sky was already sunny, and the warm winter sun filtered through the window. Shen Zhimo sat up from the bed, stretched out, and finished washing up under Ysera's service. The feeling of completing a big thing made him very satisfied, and he couldn't help but hug him

He kissed the mixed-race girl.

Ysera was neither surprised nor shy. She looked at this man with bright eyes and never spoke.

"Ysela, what's wrong with you?" Shen Zhimo wiped his face and asked.

"It's nothing, you seem to be in a good mood, and I'm very happy too."

Shen Zhimo said in surprise: "I rarely see you looking happy. Come on, give me a smile."

Ysela moved the corners of her mouth, forced a smile, and said, "Is this okay?"

"Okay, call Aubrey and the others into the study. Just tell them that we have the most urgent military affairs and must not delay them."

"Saga, what happened?" Ysera finally showed a worried look.

"It's nothing. You don't need to know these things."

Ysera thought for a while and said: "No, you rescued me from the brothel and gave me food and clothing. With you, I am as safe as at home..." The little girl spoke at a fast pace

Very slowly, it was obvious that he had thought about it for a long time before sorting out this sentence, but the expression on his face was very determined: "Martial law has begun outside. I have a feeling that something big will happen..."

"Oh?" Shen Zhimo turned around and asked, "Who am I in your heart?"

"You, you are my master. In fact... I think you are like my father, brother, or godfather."

Shen Zhimo held Ysera's shoulders and said, "That's the godfather. I like this word. Believe in your godfather, nothing will happen. Even if something happens, I can completely resolve it."

Ysera nodded and went out to call for help.

In less than five minutes, the study room was already crowded with senior cadres of the Dark Sunflower Club, and there was a solemn atmosphere. Everyone was silent and quietly waited for instructions from the highest officer.

Shen Zhimo hadn't rushed to the study yet. He first went to check on the three newly hired servants with the old housekeeper Hamar. It is undeniable that once the political situation changes, these three fools who automatically come to the door become the best pawns.

There are several rooms for servants to stay on the second floor. There are too few servants in the Diamond Castle. Sandurela and Ysera are Shen Zhimo’s exclusive maids. No one else can get involved. After research by the members of the Sunflower Club, Hamar

I decided to pay for two chefs and four middle-aged maids who specialized in handymen, so that I could manage to make a living.

At this moment, Shen Zhimo kicked open the door of Servant Room No. 1 and shouted angrily: "It's eight o'clock in the morning, the sun is shining on your buttocks, and you still refuse to get up. Do you really think you are a princess? I

Count to three, and if you don’t get up, I will serve you according to my family’s rules.”

"Ah——!" Princess Baolan woke up suddenly, screamed, covered her chest with the quilt, and shouted in panic: "You! Why are you here! Get out quickly, I order you to get out!"

"You are a servant now." Shen Zhimo coldly shattered her self-esteem.

Princess Sapphire picked up a cup and threw it at him, shouting: "No, I quit, send a carriage to take me back!" In fact, when Rodin sent the three nobles here, out of respect for the princess, he

He had already made an exception to greet Hamar to entertain them. He kicked out all the other people in the servant room, cleaned it, and put on brand new quilts. Anduin and his wife lived in another room without any aggrievement. However, Princess Sapphire

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. The smell here was too strong, there was no mulberry perfume that I liked, the bathroom was too small, there were no rose petals, the quilt was too thick, not soft enough, and most importantly, there was no servant at my disposal, because I was a servant myself.

people.

"Okay, think about it again, there is no regret medicine in the world." Shen Zhimo closed the door gently and asked Hamar: "How are the other two people? Put them into the most ordinary servant clothes and let them clean the house.

Go to the sanitation department on the third floor and send a few experts from the Blood Crow Hall to follow. There is a guy who is a frost magician. He is very careless. If they don't obey, we will put them in the dungeon directly."

"yes."

After all, the castle is full of guards from the Dark Sunflower Society, leaving them unable to fly.

Pushing the door and walking into the study, everyone was looking at him, with helpless eyes, like a death row prisoner facing hanging. Shen Zhimo coughed, walked to the main seat with his hands behind his back, and sat down, one by one with sharp eyes like a falcon.

He passed by and asked: "What do you think of the future situation?"

Simon cleared his throat and said slightly uneasily: "Our spies haven't heard back yet. No matter whether the Prime Minister or the Regent, there is no abnormality. The chaos is only in the military department. There will be a full cabinet meeting at about three o'clock this afternoon.

, the Prime Minister and the Regent will all attend, and the outcome of the meeting will lead to changes in the political situation."

Shen Zhimo knocked on the table: "Nonsense, there is no doubt that the fight between two birdmen is an inevitable result, and how can we avoid getting into trouble? Their powerful military police can find my head in less than three days, how can we avoid it in three days?"

Can everything be settled within a day?”

Aubrey tirelessly played the role of idiot: "Three days? That's so fast. Boss, didn't you say everything was done perfectly?"

"It's still a bit too hasty. The bullets will be found if they are left at the scene. Then based on the style and power of the bullets, they find out which blacksmith shop made this type of musket, and then trace the buyer."

"Oh, what should we do?"

"Aubrey, please contact the city defense commander Elona Simon. Have the sheriffs in the thirteen nearby blocks collected our silver coins? Very good. The defense of the entire city should be under our control.

"Rodan, you are in charge of the Griffin troops. No matter what means you use before tonight, convince your commander, not only the ground troops, but also the air supremacy." It was obvious that what he asked for was not just "persuasion" but money.

, violent coercion, or even killing the leader of the Griffin Knights and replacing him. The key is to really have the Griffin Knights in his hands.

Rodan had the same idea. He nodded and said, "No problem. But I need the help of Blood Crow Hall."

"Saxon, I need the most detailed information, whether it is the Prime Minister or the Regent. Or

No matter what force, they will report every little change to the enemy in detail. Only by judging the enemy's next move can we respond. We killed the generalissimo last night, and it will be someone else's turn to make the next move.

Already."

Saxon said: "Sir, the Dark Night Hall is operating at maximum power, and there is a certain degree of chaos in the Prime Minister's Office. However, Duke Allen himself has not shown up for the time being. People from other places have gone out to contact the ministers of various departments. It seems that something is going to happen."

He took the initiative in the meeting. The regent Posaidis met with four generals from the military headquarters two hours ago. The Imperial Guards were waiting in full formation. The palace was airtight and not even a fly could fly in."

"Oh, so the Queen is also under surveillance? Hehe, he is planning to use the Emperor to order the princes if something goes wrong. After all, the Queen is still the orthodoxy of the empire." Shen Zhimo's sense of smell was very sensitive and said: "What other news is there?

?”

"The regent already knows that the prince and princess fell into our hands, but he doesn't understand what our purpose is. I think it would be very simple for him to directly accuse us and send troops to surround the Diamond Castle."

Shen Zhimo smiled and said: "It's very simple, Troy, if you are eloquent, go and see the regent right away, pretend to be more mysterious and embarrassed, and say that you escaped from me. If he wants to ask anything, just say that I actually

It is a chess piece arranged by the Prime Minister. He must not dare to act rashly, otherwise I will kill his precious son and daughter, and everyone will die. I predict that he will never dare to exchange the life of his son with me, an insignificant police officer."

Troy was very uneasy, playing with the tea cup in his hand, and said: "Well, sir, I'm just a pharmacist. It's too hard to be a spy. This requires superb acting skills and excellent psychological quality. I'm afraid it won't last more than two or three sentences."

If I am forced to find out the truth, then... it is a small matter for me to die, but it is not worth ruining the big things for adults."

Everyone gave him a look of contempt. Shen Zhimo said: "It doesn't matter. You have to believe in yourself. Yes, it is this kind of panic that is more real. Otherwise, if it were Simon and Rodin who were too calm, it would be easy to be seen through. You

Find someone else to design the dialogue yourself. Remember, you must insist that you are not willing to be persecuted by the Sheriff, so you risk your life to escape, and you happen to find out some useful information."

"Sir, this..."

"Don't be wordy. I have a pen here. If you have anything to say, just write it down first. If you really die in the hands of the regent, I can also help deliver the suicide note to your new mistress. As for you hiding it on the pillow

The six hundred silver coins were naturally confiscated."

Everyone laughed in good faith. Troy gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, we have a big event, and I can't refuse. I will just follow your instructions."

Rodan reminded: "Sir, there is another key figure, Mephisto. He represents the interests of the entire Ministry of Magic. No matter which side he stands on, he is even more powerful."

Shen Zhimo touched his chin: "That old guy is nothing to worry about. I will talk to the Pope later about life, ideals, the future and other topics."

Everyone didn't understand that Shen Zhimo actually taught Mephisto the complete "Zixia Gong" secret book some time ago. The old guy felt like he had found a treasure and started practicing on the spot. He became obsessed with it. Throughout the ages, there is always one thing that makes a person unable to extricate himself.

, some are love, some are power, some are money. Under Shen Zhimo's deliberate guidance, Mephisto completely abandoned magic and was already deeply mired in martial arts. What he talked about all day long was the three, six or nine nodes, Zi Chou Yin Duan Shi.

Once upon a time, a knight even committed suicide in order to practice the "Sunflower Book". The most important thing in a man can be abandoned, and his performance was nothing at all. From then on, Mephisto gave up any belief and

concept, devoted himself to the infinite research of neurological magic, and obeyed Shen Zhimo's words. The Ministry of Magic has long been in the hands of Master Shen.

A few more lists of cabinet ministers to be assassinated or to be wooed were assigned. The meeting ended and everyone went about their business separately.

Shen Zhimo drove a carriage to the Holy Light Cathedral where he had committed a murder. As a peace officer, he could travel freely in Elida City and was not subject to martial law.

What is the identity of the Pope? How can he, a little person like him, just meet him when he says he meets him? Moreover, since the attack on the Generalissimo, he has received six lobbyists with different origins in succession. He is so busy that he has not even slept well, so what else can he do?

Time to go see him?

Shen Zhimo, who has a high IQ, stuffed the priest with one hundred silver coins and a small wooden box in the reception room. He asked the priest to run over and report. The wooden box contained a magic crystal core, which he used the demonic curse energy of the seven scars.

It's been contaminated.

The Pope was really shocked when he saw the contaminated crystal core. He hurriedly invited him to the secret room for a meeting.

For a thousand years, the biggest imaginary enemy of the Holy Light Church has been the demons in hell. The destruction of Kuzeskal Port has left a heavy shadow in their hearts. Now this crystal core full of demonic energy affects everyone.

Nerve, the person who comes with the crystal core cannot be ignored.

Shen Zhimo walked through the layers of corridors under the escort of four holy knights and stepped into the secret room with extremely gorgeous decoration style. In the early morning, the Holy Light Cathedral was peaceful and quiet, the clear singing voice of the nuns could be heard faintly, and in the distant prayer room there was still

There was the voice of a priest reading the Revelation of the Holy Light.

The secret room is not large. The walls are covered with densely carved holy runes, which are said to be used to exorcise demons. Bright candles are burning in the four corners. The surrounding layout is similar to that of a study, with old bookcases, reception tables and sofas, which is quite weird.

Just no windows.

There were three wrinkled old men sitting on the sofa. The one in the middle had a red face, a broad forehead, and a happy face. He was wearing a much more gorgeous robe than the others. At a glance, he knew that he was the Pope. He had a pale face.
