Volume 1 Once Upon a Time in the South: The Night of Salyushi
Evening.
Salyushi Palace.
Kelman VIII rubbed his eyes and looked at the case files on the table, obviously a little tired. He stroked the white drooping hair on both sides, and couldn't help but sigh, after all, he was old.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ressa's behavior has become more and more strange in the past few years, and some things still have to be guarded against," Governor Yuankang said with a heavy face.
Several ministers of military aircraft chimed in.
Kelman can't remember the first time Genyasu has come to the palace with a few ministers.
"Besides, Prince Resa has been getting closer and closer to Bishop Herod in recent years," Governor Genyasu reminded, "but the Orthodox Church has sent many high-ranking magicians to Maine... ”
"You don't know what's going on in the mountains north of Maine. Ressa: He went to the bishop to borrow some magicians to ban the monsters, and he also reported to me, so you are too worried about these. Kelman smiled and reassured.
"But Your Majesty, now there is such a thing as the daughter of the prince's family who wants to kill the nobles in the royal capital. Governor Yuankang raised his eyes and looked at King Kelman, "I'm afraid that he doesn't take this Salyushi nobles seriously anymore." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, now that he is a child of the Earl's Palace, then next time it may be the Marquis Duke, and next time he will not bully the royal head... Prime Minister Fowler said sharply.
The rest of the people who heard this also began to talk about it.
"I also sent someone to ask about it, it's all children's trouble, it's not a big deal. King Kelman smiled and said, "But that little girl from the Ressa family is ruthless, but fortunately, Philip is not a person who likes to care." ”
"But Your Majesty ... Yuan Kang wanted to say more, but Kelman waved his hand to indicate that the topic was over.
"By the way, how are the preparations for the Pillow Sword Meeting?" the king pulled away from the topic and glanced at the prime minister.
Fowler nodded, "Your Majesty, everything is ready, just wait to see the ability of the relatives of the year." ”
Speaking of the Pillow Sword Club, everyone was happy. It's a triennial event, and everyone is waiting to see how the young leaders show off their talents. Several ministers are full of expectations for their children.
"yes, I think that Onien's kid should be back soon. King Kelman smiled comfortingly, the most brilliant child of the royal family.
"The princess has returned from school? Governor Yuankang said with a smile.
"The princess has been gifted in magic since she was a child, and she has studied with Master Pilo for so many years, so her strength may be far superior to that of ordinary magisters. Chancellor Fowler also praised it.
"Didn't you keep saying that the children in Ressa's family are very capable, and I have to summon Onian back to see how these young men are growing up when the time comes," King Kelman laughed aloud.
Governor Yuankang and several ministers nodded yes. They knew in their hearts that Prince Lysa's sons and daughters were not good at stubble, and this time His Majesty also summoned Princess Onian back, just to extinguish Prince Lysa's prestige. Princess Aonien is gifted and intelligent, studying under a famous master, thinking that this pillow sword meeting must be very exciting.

Xun Mansion.
Laiwu, Chenzhu, and Kaiba chatted in a luxurious private room, and the fine red wine from Jofin on the table did not move much. What's even more bizarre is that a female concubine who accompanies the wine didn't even call.
"I look at this Prince Ressa, and I'm afraid that it's not so simple to return to the king this time. Lai Wu picked up the red wine and took a deep sip.
"You listen to your father?" Chen Zhu, who was lying on the luxurious suede sofa on all fours, tilted his head and glanced at Lai Wu.
Lai Wu didn't answer him directly, "Although Prince Resa has been blocking the southward movement of ancient creatures in the Traledes Mountains all these years, it is said that he has worked hard. ”
Keba and Chenzhu nodded when they heard this.
Lai Wu suddenly changed his words, and said quietly, "But it is said that many ancient creatures have escaped one after another in the past few years, and Prince Resa has used the excuse of recruiting troops in Maine Province and transferring many magicians from the Orthodox Church, I am afraid that Your Majesty must have scruples in his heart." ”
"This... Chen Zhu got up and sat up, stared at Lai Wu and asked, "You mean Prince Ressa wants to... Rebelled?"
"Shhhh Kaiba glared at Chenzhu.
"It's hard to say. Lai Wu took a sip of red wine, "Anyway, my father has explained that he has been dealing with people from Prince Ressa's Mansion less recently. ”
Chen Zhu nodded, and said with a smile, "After such a tragic fight, it should be regarded as breaking the minds of others." ”
"But I heard that this time Prince Resa returned to the royal capital, many nobles and high-ranking officials were eagerly stammering. Keba said.
"Yes, as a brother, that's why I specially reminded you," Lai Wu glanced at Chenzhu and Kaiba, "The current situation is not easy to say, there is no need to rush to take a stand." ”
"What about Elwin?" said Keba, looking at Lai Wu, "I looked at the girl from the Prince's Palace, but I fell in love with him." ”
Lai Wu shook his head and said, "I think that girl is more interested in Alwin's magic. ”
Several of them remembered Elwin's strange magic.
"Actually, I'm quite interested. Lai Wu frowned, "Did you see it today?" The spherical light shield looked very strange, and I looked at Alvin as if his magic was about to be sucked dry. ”
"Heh, a strange person like Fetimor naturally taught Alwyn a very strange magic. Chen Zhu laughed shamefully.
"Alvin doesn't matter, anyway, His Majesty can't be suspicious of his old man. Lai Wu nodded.
"Yes. Chen Zhu thought for a moment and nodded.
The old nobles in the city are like mirrors in their hearts, and Count Philip is a loyal subordinate who has saved King Kelman from fire and water many times on the battlefield, and His Majesty suspects that no one can suspect him in his house.
"But that girl is really beautiful... Cheaper Elvin. Chen Zhu thought and laughed and scolded again.
"What's that girl's name in the Prince's Palace?" Kaiba laughed.
"Lan marriage. Lai Wu didn't want to answer.
"The name is also good," Chen Zhu smiled and sighed at the sky, "Hey, the two of us caused trouble, but it was cheaper than Alvin." ”
"He almost died that day, what a bargain. Keba laughed.
"Why do you want to do this, call a few more female concubines in a while, I can hear that the front desk said that there is a new batch" Lai Wu looked lewd, "Whoever you want to marry is a Lan marriage." ”
"Yes, too," Chen Zhu laughed lustfully.

Will night.
Prime Minister's Office.
Fowler stepped back and stared at the scarlet curtains without saying a word.
"Come out," the Prime Minister said in a deep voice.
"The villain has seen His Excellency the Prime Minister," I saw a figure dressed in inky leather disappear from behind the curtain.
Fowler didn't bother to greet him, "What's the matter with me?"
"This is what the organization has arranged for me to give you," the young man in the inky leather armor pulled out an envelope from his chest and respectfully handed it to Forler's desk.
The prime minister glanced at the envelope, and the white envelope was marked with neat round vines on each corner. From the moment he touched the envelope, the black vines began to circle in four directions toward the center, and the four vines staggered in the middle, and a green dagger with light and shadow hung and swirled in the air at the envelope seal. Fowler flicked the dagger a few times with his index finger, and the light and shadow of the dagger faded, and the black vines on the outside of the envelope faded, and the envelope could be opened.
This is a special encrypted envelope of the "Luo Dai" organization, which can only be opened by the specified recipient, and no one else can trigger the magic that is activated. If forcibly opened, the magic on the envelope will instantly destroy the contents of the envelope.
Fowler rested his head on one hand and stared at the letter with a wrinkled frown.
"Is it possible for your organization to get anything?" Fowler asked in his deep thoughts, for no reason.
The young man was originally in a daze, but when he heard the words, he immediately came back to his senses, "Uh... As long as it is within the capabilities of the organization. ”
Fowler nodded, writing on the desk.
"This is a reply to Marshal Jiu Zhan, send it to the Tingxiao Empire as soon as possible. Fowler explained earnestly, and then took out a special envelope of "Luo Dai" from the drawer and put the letter inside.
"Also, this is what I wanted, and I asked for it to be written on it, and you can take it back to the leader of the night sky. Fowler glanced up at the young man, "Remember, be fast, money is not an issue." ”
"Okay, the villain understands, this letter will be delivered to Marshal Jiu Zhan by the fastest route, I will send the things on this note to the night leader immediately, and I will notify you as soon as there is news" The young man carefully put the envelope and note into his arms.
Fowler waved his hand, this young man was also very knowledgeable, bowed and saluted, and the next second he disappeared into the night. Dressed in inky leather armor, he was a few people on the eaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to be nothing.
Perhaps it was because the late autumn wind was too cold or unwilling to face the city, Fowler stood sideways behind the scarlet curtains, and blinked tiredly from the window at the night-coloured royal capital of Salyuhi.
