Chapter 584 Are you going to save me or not?
"The current king...sigh."
Walking down the corridor leading into the palace, Dain clenched his left fist, his right hand resting on the sword at his waist. He sighed softly, seemingly recalling the glory days of the empire.
"He is no longer fit for the position, he has become obsessed with that unknown dark power and gone mad."
Suddenly, Dain's gaze fell on Han Yu, and he thought that this man had a big problem.
It seems rather strange that Black King did not intervene when Han Yu killed two crown princes.
The Black King wasn't indifferent; even though he was bewitched by the power of the abyss, how could a father not care about his own flesh and blood?
Here's the absurd part: when the Black King asked Han Yu why he did this, Han Yu simply replied, "They're secretly colluding with traitors to stage a coup, to murder their father and seize the throne."
At first, the Black King's reaction wasn't too strong. He said things like, "I want to control all the armies in the world," and "Father, you're old and should abdicate." In fact, for an imperial family, this was just commonplace and nothing surprising.
"It's the Crimson Moon side, they're bewitching the princes." As soon as Han Yu said this, the Black King's eyes, which emitted a dark, eerie light, suddenly turned towards the outside of the palace!
He only said one word.
kill!
At that moment, Rhein-Dörgüe, who was following behind the group, chuckled softly.
"Oh? So Dain, you mean this operation isn't just about saving your brother?"
That meaningful look seemed to say, "Dain, have you always wanted to take your place and become king yourself?"
"Put away your crazy ideas, Ms. Rheindoth." Dain's gaze suddenly turned cold.
After this little incident, everyone's previously suppressed feelings were greatly relieved, since it was a coup, which was a highly rebellious act.
"We'll be at the main hall soon." Dain took out his token, and the guards let him through.
The dimly lit palace exuded a somber atmosphere, with faint candlelight hanging on the pillars on both sides.
The huge hall was empty, with no servants or guards in sight.
"Although he betrayed the empire, please do not take his life. I hope to expose his crimes under the watchful eyes of the people."
The others ignored Dain's words, after all, it was a contest between justice in his heart and the Black King, and they only wanted to get what was rightfully theirs.
“Rayler, you’re in charge of going to the prison to rescue my brother. The rest of you, come with me.”
Dain assigned tasks, and Raelil nodded.
Only now did Han Yu get closer to the truth: why Dai felt so guilty towards Kanria in the beginning.
Is it simply a matter of five major sinners dividing up power and ignoring the country altogether?
"Dain should have known about the power of the Abyss a long time ago, as for how he discovered it."
As Han Yu walked, he analyzed that Dain's contact with the power of the abyss was probably related to his brother, Viserfnir.
"Perhaps his brother had long harbored the idea of taking the Black King's place, but controlling the power of the abyss was too dangerous... but it was very likely that his brother Dain would become the sharpest sword in his hand."
Thinking about it this way, Han Yu gasped. This great prophet of Kanria was simply a cunning old fox.
"The problem lies with these four people, excluding Raelil."
Rayleigh only wanted a pardon for his fiancée, Solindis, but after pleading and begging to no avail, he was completely out of options and ultimately had no choice but to join Dain, hoping that if he succeeded, his lover would be safe...
Raelier had written a note on the back of the envelope, which Solindis would surely read as was her habit.
The passage reads: "My dear, if I haven't returned by dawn the next day, please do everything you can to escape this place."
Of course, Solindis wasn't stupid; she could tell that Rael seemed to be hiding something, which is why she wanted to try to salvage the situation in her own way.
Surtroch, the future Extreme Knight, is Dain's good friend, and he will definitely help with this. Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to showcase the results of his years of training.
At that time, they were only in their early twenties, in the prime of their youth, so it was normal for them to do something crazy in a moment of passion.
"Dainsreb may have already used a powerful, unknown force as a bargaining chip."
Han Yu glanced at Dain from time to time, "Praying to bring Prince Kong to Kanria, some commoners don't know, but those within the Empire certainly know the role of the Descendants."
That is the storage container for the power of the abyss.
"Otherwise, these people wouldn't have taken such a big risk to save Dain's brother."
Han Yu couldn't help but admire the prophet's brilliant move, even risking his own life to enter the game.
Ostensibly, it was to advise the Black King, deliberately provoking him, since Viserfnir was of vital importance to Kanria and the Empire.
The Black King would not kill him but imprison him. He was certain of this, and he had already won half the battle. This was the prophet, Viserfnir.
As the group arrived at the innermost part of the palace, a heavy stone door came into view, and Dain stopped in his tracks.
“I have no intention of rebelling, but Viserfnir has always been loyal to His Majesty. To stab a minister who is in charge of information and politics is hardly the act of a wise ruler.”
As he spoke, Dain's eyes hardened, "I will awaken His Majesty with my sword."
Han Yu almost laughed when he heard this. The difference between Daines Reibu of this era and five hundred years later was truly enormous.
Five hundred years ago, he was filled with righteousness; five hundred years later, Dai Yin was heartbroken and only wanted to seek revenge on those who had accompanied him back then.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Let's go in." Han Yu stepped forward and kicked the heavy stone door open.
Everyone was taken aback at first. The stone gate looked simple and ancient, but in fact it had many mechanisms.
Normally, it would be Dainesreb, the captain of the palace guard, who would open it.
"They've already rebelled, why are they still being so particular?"
Han Yu left those words and walked straight into the door, raising dust and attracting the attention of many guards.
When no one was paying attention, Vilette suddenly disappeared without a trace, but none of the group felt anything was amiss.
...
Inside the secret prison.
“Mr. Visevernil.” Raelier stopped outside a cell.
The bodies of several guards lay scattered on the ground. The man holding the sword shook off the blood from the tip of the blade and opened the cell door.
“The king’s mind has been captured by his obsession. I simply told him that if things continue like this, Kanria will surely perish.”
Viserfnir and Raelil chatted, neither fleeing the place immediately nor appearing flustered.
Just as Han Yu had guessed, he was waiting for the perfect opportunity.
The prophet spoke calmly and steadily, not at all like a sinner who had been blinded and imprisoned in a dark dungeon.
“Your beloved, Solindis, has arrived at the Deep Mystery.”
"Visefnir said meaningfully, accompanied by a beastly roar that echoed throughout the entire palace!"
Rael panicked; his pupils constricted, and a black beast...
He rushed towards the Deep Secret Courtyard without regard for anything else, but the latter just chuckled and walked out of the cell!
A surge of powerful water elemental energy appeared. "I'm sorry, Mr. Vesevernil, you can't leave..."
