Chapter 1306 Domineering Downton(1/2)
Crunch!
There was a soft knock on the door, and a red archbishop and six gold-robed officiants walked out of Downton's bedroom.
Sissi and her entourage were waiting anxiously in the corridor. When they saw them appearing, they immediately came forward to greet them.
"How about it?"
Sissi asked.
"Your Highness, you are too worried. The Duke of Downton is in good health!"
The archbishop was smiling. For an ordinary duke who was unwell, it would be a great honor to be treated by a gold-robed officiant. But Sissi was different. In a word, the red archbishop was directly leading the team. You must know that at this point, besides
No one has invited the members of the royal family to touch them, because there are only twelve members in the entire Holy See of Light.
"Sorry for your trouble!"
After Sissi saluted, she ordered the servant, "Take the archbishop down to rest!"
"It is an honor to serve you and the Duke of Downton!"
There is no one who can reach the position of the Cardinal Archbishop but is not a good person. This favor is really worth selling.
"Brother, what do you think?"
Hu Tao rushed into the bedroom.
"Except for a little headache and confused memory, everything is fine." Downton got out of bed and poured some tea, "If you ask me, you guys are making too much of a fuss."
"Let's wait until Xia Luo checks it before we talk!"
Sissi was worried. She knew that those palace conspiracies were sometimes more dangerous than fighting on the battlefield.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Xianlang got the diagnosis result.
"Downton was attacked by the curse of doom, but was resisted by his sacred blood. There was no attack, but the memory was read."
Xia Luo looked solemn, "This technique is very evil. I feel the aura of the wronged soul lingering around Downton. It must have been accomplished by sacrificing one's life."
"Well. A dragon girl died!"
Hutao nodded.
"Is there any danger?"
Elaine's face turned pale.
"No, but it is unknown how much Downton's secrets are known." Charlotte reminded Downton, "If you encounter trouble in the future, you must solve it as soon as possible. A woman's kindness will only make the situation worse."
"Who did this?"
Hu Tao grinds his teeth. He has the urge to go on a killing spree.
"Don't worry, my life is very tough!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders and comforted the girls. After they left, his expression darkened, "Have you found out?"
"We investigated the objects that the dragon girl had contact with, but found nothing, but it should be the order of Queen Oni!"
Beyoncé knelt down on one knee and reported to work.
"Check again!"
It was an honest battle. Even if he died, Downton would not resent it, but he despised this kind of underhanded tactics the most, and if he had not been lucky this time, he would have been tricked to death.
"As you command!"
Beyoncé's body shattered into black mist and disappeared into the room.
The major newspapers and periodicals in London are still selling well. The citizens have a new topic because of Downton's ruthless destructiveness. Some Tang gangsters who are jealous of him are jumping up and down, spreading all kinds of slanderous remarks, the most vicious
It was his unethical love affair with Elaine.
It's just that these underhanded methods did not cause any trouble. In the eyes of the common people, the royal family does not mess around. Is it still called the royal family? The palace is a place where filth and people live in evil. For a time, various royal scandals have broken out.
Got turned around again.
The scale of some underground books and periodicals is also getting larger and larger. When a novel describing the sadomasochistic love between Downton and Queen One was published, it swept directly across the entire London. Then it spread to surrounding cities.
Someone saw a bargain and immediately published a sequel. Although the heroines were replaced by Elaine and her mother, the Bloody Queen, the sales were even more popular.
The underground forces are like vultures following the lions picking up corpses, relying on Downton's reputation to make money. These scum can only do this.
The Midsummer Eve Festival attracted more attention than previous years due to the arrival of Downton, and the Sword Dance Conference was even more exaggerated. All subsequent tickets were sold out on the fourth day.
The scalpers obtained the information of the people who purchased the package tickets in advance, went to them in person and offered to buy them at ten times the price, but to no avail.
Now the most valuable thing in the capital is not gold, but these tickets. In three days, they have increased a hundred times. Especially the tickets for the championship. Even the cheapest tickets cost more than 100,000 gold coins. Ordinary civilians have already
No chance to see you.
The organizers received sky-high sponsorship fees, but they knew this was because of Downton's popularity, so they not only gave him a big red envelope, but also set aside the most eye-catching advertising space for the Guns N' Roses business group.
"Can't bear to part with you? If Downton withdraws from the competition, everything you have now will be lost!"
Some members of the board of directors were not happy to let Downton take advantage, but there were still a few smart people, and one sentence made them feel terrified.
Downton had no time to pay attention to this, because Earl Hassell died in prison. At the same time, a large number of posters appeared in the streets and alleys, all of which showed the numerous crimes of the Stuttgart family.
Hassel is a villain enough, but he is just their dog, and he pales in comparison to them.
Those posters were full of pictures and texts, digging up eight generations of ancestors in Stuttgart. The ancestors of this family made their fortune by catching and selling slaves. Later, relying on the accumulated wealth covered with blood, they slowly obtained noble titles and rose to the top.
Upper class.
Although they were cleansed, it was an illusion. Until now, this family not only has not given up its ancestral business, but is also the largest slave trader in Britannia.
When the pictures of the abducted girls were posted, the whole of London was in an uproar. Someone organized a demonstration to demand justice.
"Been beaten?"
During dinner, Downton learned the latest information.
"Yes, not only the security forces, but also Stuttgart's private soldiers were mobilized. The demonstrators were so violent that civilians ran away with their heads in their hands, and half the street was stained red with blood."
Hu Tao and Elaine went to watch the fun and saved many people.
"This family is finished!"
Sissi made a definition. The information was too detailed. If Oni didn't deal with it, she would lose the support of the people. You have to know how many people's children have been sold by them.
"Duke Downton, please seek justice for us!"
"We need a hero!"
"Help us!"
Some civilians knelt outside the hotel. When they saw Downton and his entourage coming out, they immediately cried and begged.
"Ignore them!"
Sissi was very experienced and warned in a low voice. At the same time, she winked at the guards and asked them to stop those people.
Seeing Downton walking towards the carriage without stopping, the crowd became excited and got up to chase him.
"Didn't you say, 'I am justice'? Why are you ignoring us?"
Some yelled, some cursed, and some cried in despair.
"Duke Downton, give my daughter justice!"
A middle-aged woman burst into tears. Her daughter disappeared when she was sixteen years old. The pictures showed that her daughter died when she was eighteen years old and was tortured in front of her body. The body was ravaged in a horrible way.
Downton's face turned pale.
"Downton, listen to my explanation. I won't deny it. Some of those people must have lost their families, but they may also be used by certain forces, waiting for you to start a war with Stuttgart, and then benefit from it!"
Sissi knew that Downton had a jealous character and was very touched when she saw that he listened to her words, so she explained more carefully.
"I know you do it for my own good. But for your own benefit, do you just ignore those civilians?"
Downton didn't understand.
Sissi was silent. She was a kind girl, and she also sympathized with the civilians, but compared to them and Downton, she cared more about his safety.
"Downton, apologize to Sissy!" Homer scolded.
"sorry!"
Downton is not a bastard, he just doesn't understand.
"Wait a little longer!"
Sissi grabbed Downton's hand and comforted him carefully.
The arena with 100,000 people was already packed an hour before the game started. People were looking forward to Downton's performance today. Some guys with special habits wanted to see him torture and kill his opponents again.
Downton entered the VIP table and saw Ciel and a group of nobles posing and drinking in the seats next to them.
"unlucky."
Downton complained, with no intention of suppressing his voice.
"Who are you talking about?"
