Chapter 674 9.98

Chapter 674 98

"An ancient saying in the East: A small hermit hides in the world, a great hermit hides in the court."

Lord Betuge, I know you are in this parliament hall.

Your ultimate goal is still me after all the big show!

"I'm already standing in front of you, why don't you come out and meet me in person?!"

Loki's words once again made the parliamentarians look at each other in bewilderment.

Being able to sit in the position of a Byzantine parliamentarian, they certainly knew about the existence of the Illuminati.

The ruler of the Illuminati is not human, which has long been an open secret in the Byzantine society.

But merchants have always been open to aliens.

Humans, mermaids, the members of the Fire Transmission Gang whose bodies are all elemental, and the Holy Bishop Angels of the North Sheng Double Wings all have human appearances.

But are they really humans like mortals inside?

Obviously not.

The same is true for the lizardmen. When wearing human skin, they show a "level of civilization" far better than the cannibals in the New World and the black-skinned warriors in the northern continent.

For Byzantine merchants, they are "more human" than most humans.

As long as it is beneficial to business activities and can help their caravans expand their business territory, they are qualified friends for merchants.

In this regard, no religious community in the world can do better than the Illuminati.

In various countries hidden in human civilization wearing human skin, the Illuminati mostly controls the extremely important power center. There are also many people who directly sit on the throne like Mutu, the king of Earthsea.

It is conceivable how much benefit the Illuminati can bring to the members of parliament.

Roman senators are elected by citizens in their respective constituencies one by one. Only when citizens get enough benefits can the position of senators be firmly established.

As an indispensable and important part of a huge power chain, the importance of the Illuminati is irreplaceable in the eyes of Byzantine senators.

They certainly understood the hidden danger of "those who are not of my kind must have different hearts".

But what does this mean compared to the citizens' heartfelt support and boxes of gold and silver?

Everyone in Constantinople knew that "Prince Dolanter" was a member of the Illuminati, but they lived in peace and stability and no one cared too much.

The parliamentarians slept in warm bubbles and never imagined that their friends could suddenly become another person.

As they looked at each other in bewilderment, Loki held the slender stone sword and stabbed it into the stone floor in the center of the Senate.

The shape of the stone sword was primitive and simple. There was no sharp blade on the broad sword body, but it was quite finely engraved with the methods of livestock breeding and wheat farming, and the other side was carefully written in large seal characters about etiquette and humility.

This was the Xuanyuan Sword, a treasure of the East Land that Loki took out of Leviathan.

"Haha, you won't stand up?"

"You are not such a person in my heart."

In this case, I am afraid I can only force you to stand up.

After saying this, Loki reached into his arms and took out two round iron pipes as thick as a baby's arm.

All the Byzantines have seen this thing.

This is the gunpowder detonator used for blasting rocks.

When the mine is dug to the end, one detonator is enough to blow up a new mine. At this time, Loki hung the two on the Xuanyuan Sword inserted in the center of the ground.

He held a huge flint in his hand.

"Lord Betugu, I believe you must know what this is."

"Among the wealth piled up like a mountain of gold in Leviathan's body, only this ancient sword is inserted in the center of the 12 masters. You have been lurking in human civilization for thousands of years, and you only chose this one.

I am willing to believe that this is what you are determined to get."

Still not coming out?

Then I really have no choice.

Loki took out a fuse from the root of the detonator, held the flint and rubbed his fingers gently. A faint spark flashed, and the fuse woven from cotton, linen and silk was ignited by the flame.

In the closed and blocked medieval times, the transmission of information was quite difficult. Most of the congressmen lived in the city all their lives. They had never seen the moment of explosives exploding, and they had no idea what Loki wanted to do.

The crudely crafted fuse was quickly swallowed by the flames, and the orange flames illuminated Loki's slightly distorted face.

He had no intention of extinguishing the flames at all.

"Last time, I endured the 996 life, and dreamed of being able to let my parents live in a decent house with my own hands. The house does not necessarily need to be big, and it would be a success if my parents could spend their old age in peace."

"But it is really difficult to achieve this goal."

In this life, I live in a museum in the future.

"In the middle of the night when no one is around, I finish overtime and dream of marrying a girl. She doesn't necessarily need to be as beautiful as a fairy, but only needs to be hardworking and kind."

"Of course, it would be even better if there is no need for a gift."

I never achieved this goal until I died.

In this life, I left two sons, and I have slept with women until I vomited.

Romain Rolland once said that some people die at the age of 20 and are buried at the age of 80. I am 36 years old this year. As a mortal, I have everything. I have no regrets in this life.

If I can be buried with 220 Roman senators and the ancient relic Xuanyuan Sword before I die, it would be worth my life.

No one paid any attention to Loki's mumbling, and the frightened old people narrowed their eyes and looked at the burning flames.

Finally, someone couldn't help but speak

"I recognize that thing. It's East Land Black Powder!"

"This guy wants to blow up our parliament!"

The smell of the burning fuse finally awakened some members of parliament. Seeing that the detonator was about to explode, the desire to survive made the members of parliament run to the door.

A dozen old men pushed the door of the parliament open and tried to escape, but the flames sprayed by the dragon above their heads immediately turned them into charcoal.

Hehe

It's useless.

Let us melt into the air together and become part of history!

Loki loosened his hands and let the last strand of fuse burn to the end. However, at this time, he found out of the corner of his eye that all the members of parliament tried their best to distance themselves from him.

Only one person stood there alone.
