Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord

Chapter 163 Don’t Get Involved

As Desmond was talking, the old drunkard interrupted him directly and said:

"El, Rhaegarn, Geraint?... I know why those old guys in the Council are anxious! The missing Templars were all secretly manipulated and cultivated by the Council.

In order to seize the seats of the Templar Knights, the old guys almost broke up with the previous generation of Paladins. They used inducements and assassinations, and finally managed to get five of the twelve Holy Knights. In the end, they disappeared in just one week. Three, hahaha! Interesting, interesting! That old boy Merlin must have turned green at this time! Hahaha! "

As he spoke, the old drunkard took two swigs of wine and unconsciously lit a cigarette. At this time, the old drunkard's eyes turned into crescents when he smiled, like an old naughty boy.

"Old man, this is the situation. I can't cope with it anyway. It has been a troubled time recently. The case of Solomon's envoy's mysterious death has not yet been investigated. As a result, the Holy Knight has disappeared again. I don't know what the situation will be after I return. , since you retired back then, the position of our Punishment Knights has been extremely embarrassing..."

Desmond said with a wry smile on his face.

Desmond's aim was not without purpose. It was indeed extremely embarrassing to punish the Knights of the Round Table.

Today's Knights of the Round Table are basically divided into two factions, one is the 'power-seizing faction' headed by Archmage Merlin and the Council of Honor, and the other is the 'king-respecting faction' headed by the older generation of Templars who are loyal to King Arthur.

The formation of the two major factions began after the civil strife in the royal court twenty years ago. After the civil strife in the royal court, King Arthur disappeared for five years. During these five years, King Arthur did not preside over the affairs of the royal court and always claimed to be ill. Can't get out.

In the past five years, the affairs of the royal court fell on the Templars and the Honorable Council. Because it coincided with the end of the civil strife and the internal and external troubles in the royal court, the previous generation of Templars were basically busy maintaining the entire royal court and the Knights of the Round Table. of stability.

For five years, all the Templars were ordered to take charge of the Twelve Knights in times of crisis. Some suppressed the rioting ancient law world, while the other kept vigilant against threats from the outside. After all, it was the time of the Six Gods Rebellion, and the whole of Europe was plunged into chaos. .

However, at this moment, the Honorable Council headed by the Archmage Merlin took advantage of the situation and gradually took over the power of the royal court. King Arthur's rights were gradually eclipsed, and the power of the council became more and more powerful.

When the Templars reacted, the Honor Council had grown to an unimaginable level, and even the Templars could not suppress it with force.

Then the Council of Honor gradually reached out to the Templars in an attempt to control the Templar Knights. However, the Templar Knights were a bunch of stubborn guys, and no one was willing to betray King Arthur.

Since coercion and inducement were of no use, the Honor Council had its own evil intentions...

The Twelve Templar Knights, in addition to the missing Chief Holy Ring Knight who disappeared in the early years, there were also eleven Temple Knights in King Arthur's Court at that time, and eleven realm-breaking powerful men. No matter how you look at it, it is a kind of life-threatening Afraid of the background.

However, in just one year, four Paladins died one after another, either due to accidents or diseases. You must know that during the civil strife, not a single Paladin died.

If you say that no one is causing trouble, even the dogs won’t believe it.

The previous generation of Paladins also had bad tempers. They soon realized that the Honor Council was behind the trouble. In anger, they directly carried the knight's giant sword and killed the Holy Mountain of Honor. The Paladins at that time had already prepared Preparing to break up with Merlin, the second civil strife in the royal court is about to unfold.

That day, the sword light of the Holy Mountain of Honor was fierce. Six council elders in the Honor Council were beheaded, and Merlin almost cast a forbidden spell to die with the Paladins.

Fortunately, King Arthur intervened and suppressed the anger of the Paladins.

Afterwards, the Honorable Council still refused to give up, and the Honorable Council managed the Templars. The two sides argued with each other for several years, and finally decided that the Templars would give up five seats to the council for management, and both sides would separately train a new generation of Templars.

Although there was no conflict between the two sides, ever since the Holy Knights attacked the Holy Mountain fifteen years ago, the two sides have hated each other. Over the years, they have gradually formed the 'Power Seizing Faction' and the 'King Honoring Faction'.

For more than ten years, the two sides have been pulling each other to build up their power. The entire Knights of the Round Table are either the 'power seizing faction' or the 'king-respecting faction'...

However, in this confrontational environment, a few strange knights still remained neutral. Not to mention the four major apocalyptic knights, they were basically disabled and neutralized, which is the most difficult to understand. The only thing is that the Punishment Knights have always remained neutral.

Neither party can offend, but they are not close to either party. They live in the cracks and seem to be taken seriously, but in fact they help the royal court to do some dirty work. This is the situation of the Punishment Knights.

"Since you knew you were in trouble, why did you come to me?" the old drunkard laughed and cursed.

Desmond looked bitter: "What can I do? Can't I ask you to be a troublemaker at this time?"

When the old drunkard heard Desmond commenting on him like this, he immediately felt that Feng Ping had been victimized. He angrily grabbed the bottle and shouted at Desmond's face.

Desmond didn't hide either. With his physique, a wine bottle couldn't break through his defense. Even if the glass bottle exploded, Desmond still looked at the old drunkard with a smile on his face.

"Don't look at me. I'm not going anyway. I advise you not to get involved in this mess. Just find a reason to get away with it!" The old drunkard took a puff of cigarette and sighed, "This matter is not as simple as you think. I always feel that there is a mysterious force behind it. This force is likely to come from the outside world, but it is more or less related to two factions. Either it cooperates with the "King Respecting Faction" or it has a grudge against the "Power Seizing Faction", so if you are smart, don't get involved."

"I also want to find a reason to get away with it, but what reason can I get away with it now? The Royal Court has issued a secret order!"

The old drunkard opened another bottle of liquor, drank two gulps, smacked his lips twice, and rolled his eyes at Desmond: "The Royal Court has assigned you something to do... Investigate the case of the envoy being attacked, and you just focus on investigating the case. When you are asked, you will say that there is a breakthrough in the case, and the key clues are gone in a flash, so you didn't go to the Royal Court! You have been stupid since childhood, this kind of Can't you lie? It was easy for me back then, otherwise how could the Punishment Knights remain neutral! "

"Oh, you still have a way! I know, I'll go back and investigate the case..."

Desmond said, and the old drunk's face darkened instantly. He grabbed the bottle on the ground and smashed it on Desmond's face: "Are you stupid? I just found a reason for you to check it out, check it out! Check it out! Check it out! After checking it out for so long, what have you found out? You just sit here, drink with me, and chat... Damn it, why did I fall for a fool like you back then! "
