Chapter 478: The King's Power
Florence stared straight at Sherlock.
Sherlock also looked directly at Florence.
The cards have been spread out.
Just wait, how does Sherlock make a decision.
In recent times, all major events in the Deren Empire were caused by Florence and his partners.
They obviously violated the principle of "escape from the world" of the Al organization. They used the power of the organization to control the Delun Empire from behind the scenes, turn the huge empire into a sharp "sickle" in their hands to harvest the "leeks" of the Elephant Land.
Sherlock can imagine.
If Florence and his companions really tasted the sweetness in this plan, then where would their "sickles" be swung?
Take control of an empire, let the empire's force become your own tool, and plunder your own interests.
This has fundamentally violated the purpose of the Al organization and betrayed the principles of the Al organization.
Sherlock himself is a sword-holder.
Within the Al organization, although the Sword Holder is only a 22-level member, according to the responsibilities of the Al organization, the Sword Holder has a special status in the organization.
The internal division of the Al organization includes the gate of darkness, the gate of black iron, the gate of bronze, the gate of silver, and the gate of gold.
The sword-holder stands at the first level behind the Golden Gate, while the "King" stands at the highest point behind the Golden Gate.
As a sword-holder—
Stop all the glimpses of the Golden Gate.
Punish all rebellious actions to the Golden Gate.
The sword of the sword holder can cross the Golden Gate and slash towards all members of the silver, bronze, black iron, and dark gates below.
And their swords can point to a higher point in the Golden Gate.
In the history of the Al organization, there was a sword-holding man who had killed the "king" and forced him to fall from the throne... In the internal information available to the Al organization, this is not too secret information.
Florence admires, loves, and attaches great importance to Sherlock?
Maybe it's right.
But what he attached more importance to was Sherlock's identity as the "Sword-holding Man".
To be less precise, Florence is like a rank-in-law official of the Dren Empire. He has mastered countless resources, countless wealth, and countless manpower. He can call the wind and rain on his territory, almost omnipotent.
Sherlock, in terms of power, qualifications, or resources, has much less than Florence.
However, he is the inspector of the Imperial Supervision Department!
This is enough... The inspector, an identity that all the officials in the border areas must pay attention to and must feel afraid of.
"I!" Sherlock slowly spit out a word.
"Open the treasures of the Knights of the Suffering Order and help you complete advanced tasks smoothly."
"You can better cooperate with His Royal Highness George of the Ice Sea Kingdom to successfully obtain the share of the Ice Sea Kingdom from the huge treasures of the Knights of Suffering. You can make outstanding contributions to the country you came from."
"I promise that I promised to use the surname given to me by my ancestors. Your merits this time can make you the...Duke of the Ice Sea Kingdom...Is it true power. Even if you are interested, you can become the heir to the throne in the top five of the Ice Sea Kingdom...You have the royal bloodline of the Ice Sea Kingdom, don't you?"
"If you are not satisfied with all this, your grandmother is a marquis of the Seventh Dynasty of Gaul, right? What she never forgets before she died was the glory of the family."
"Let the Republic of Gaul change its state again, go hell from the Republic of Gaul, let us welcome the arrival of the Eighth Dynasty of Gaul... You will inherit the title of your grandmother's family and obtain the entire Dunkiel Peninsula as a fief."
Florence held a teacup in one hand and looked at Sherlock with eyes fixed on her eyes.
"Of course, if you are willing to be ours... we can even change their dynasty system to the 'electoral elect' system at the beginning of the reconstruction of the Eighth Dynasty of Gaul. In a few years, maybe I will bow to you and call him "His Majesty the King"!"
Florence was generous and without any concealment, and directly told Sherlock their final conditions.
Any normal person will be dizzy by such conditions, right?
According to Florence's promise, Sherlock could even become the "common ruler" of the Ice Sea Kingdom and the Eighth Dynasty of Gaul, and at the same time wear two noble crowns.
In the history of the Medland continent, the only one who achieved this great achievement was a legendary emperor six hundred years ago. He wore two crowns and two scepters. Under his rule, his national prestige surpassed Medland, and even made the Pope and Pope of the church at that time bow down to surrender...
"I..." Sherlock's eyes flashed.
"Times have changed, Sherlock." Florence put down the teacup, and Elaine walked up quietly, adding the newly cooked peacock tongue to him and Sherlock.
"Times have changed... Sherlock." Florence held his hands in front of his chest and looked at Sherlock very seriously: "The Al organization must also change a little bit... This is a consensus among many people, and I am just an executor elected by 'we'."
Florence was silent for a moment, and he lowered his voice and stressed again: "Many people, many... many... more than you think, and... they stand higher and see farther."
Florence looked up and looked at the ceiling of the study.
Sherlock's eyes twitched violently.
Florence is just an executor elected?
And...behind Florence, is there a higher-level will of the Al organization?
However, Florence has already stood at the top of the Golden Gate... The one higher than the Golden Gate is the "Gate of Al".
The Al members standing in the Golden Gate are still ‘mortals’.
According to rumors within the Al organization, those who have been promoted to the top of the Golden Gate and have the honor of stepping into the Al Gate have achieved a true ‘extraordinary’...
Not the so-called extraordinary warrior who takes a few bottles of low-level potions and masters a little insignificant evolutionary power.
Instead, he truly transcends the world and can be called a "god"... or, at least, he is also a "demigod".
Their wisdom, their strength, everything they have, is extremely terrible.
In the history of the Al organization, the Sword Holder once killed the "King" against the "King"... but the ultimate they could do was to kill the "King" of the 27th-level member. The Sword Holder knew nothing about the terrifying existences above the level 28 behind the Al Gate, and was even more powerless.
Even, whether they exist, how many of them are, what are their identities...
They are like real gods in the clouds, and mortals cannot contact them at all, let alone pay attention to their glory.
Very practical.
At this moment, Sherlock is only less than ten feet away from Florence.
Sherlock is a serious and extraordinary sixth-level existence, and a powerful existence that is almost at its peak. And even in the sixth-level of the same level, Sherlock's combat power is definitely the most powerful group.
And Florence?
Using the ‘safe mode’, you have the sixth-level position without any disease, pain, and risk, but your actual combat power is probably equivalent to Florence, which is an ordinary extraordinary fifth-level or even a fourth-level warrior...
Sherlock could completely destroy him with just one stretch of his hand.
From the body to the soul, completely destroyed...
If Sherlock uses the privileges of the "Sword-holding Man" of the Al organization, he can even destroy everything Florence has now in a short time.
This manor.
Those young people.
Those maids.
All the hands of Florence.
All the connections he created.
All the wealth he controls.
Everything Florence has now, as long as Sherlock leaves this manor and activates the response mechanism belonging to the "Swordholder", Florence will face a terrible judgment.
Therefore, Florence, which had begun to subvert the Deren Empire, wanted to control the empire behind the scenes, was so polite to Sherlock. Florence seriously invited Sherlock to his manor and communicate with "openly and honestly" "equal" and "peaceful" communication.
But… it’s easy to destroy Florence.
The information revealed by Florence made Sherlock...
"Shelok, we should be friends." Florence smiled and looked at Shelok: "Times have changed, and we can pursue some more meaningful goals."
"Being in Al, you should know how terrible Al is." Sherlock's voice was a little dry, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you sure, can you?"
Florence frowned, he pursed his lips and thought seriously for a while: "Why can't it? Anyway, it's always right to try... And, what have we done? Do we have it, do it yourself?"
Shaking his head, Florence once again showed a calm and confident smile: "Everything is a coincidence, everything is some people in it, they are... crazy for their own interests."
"We didn't actually use the power of a finger."
"We did nothing, so we naturally have nothing to do."
Sherlock exhaled, and he picked up the teacup again and drank the peacock tongue in the teacup.
He stood up and nodded to Florence: "Then, I'm curious, if I refuse your advice..."
Florence smiled and said, "We still maintain our previous relationship. We are all El's brothers, aren't we?"
Sherlock hesitated for a moment: "If I want to fulfill the rights and responsibilities of the sword-holder?"
Florence's smile froze slightly, and then a little gloomy chill appeared in his smile: "Then, we are the enemies... you will become our enemies... you, and your wife and children."
Sherlock coughed: "My wife and children?"
Florence said quickly: "At that time, you were a famous diamond bachelor in the Kingdom of Ice Sea, but... you have twelve lovers, three sons, and seven daughters in six countries... As you said just now, when you are in Al, you should know how terrible Al is."
Sherlock's face turned slightly red: "Ha...I love my country, and the Delun Empire is obviously not."
Florence exhaled suddenly.
He smiled and nodded: "Of course, the Derren Empire has no interest in you. So, you will never interfere in everything that will happen next in the Derren Empire?"
