Empire, Gillesto.

In the majestic and sacred imperial city, the tallest building is the 100-meter-high Star Picking Tower.

In fact, with the level of architecture when this imperial city was built more than 1,000 years ago, it is difficult to build a real high-rise building. The Star Picking Tower is more of a tower than a building.

Moreover, the tower is still solid, and every emperor must at least reach the cultivation above the level of the holy realm, so that he can hope to climb the platform of a few square meters on the top of the star-picking tower, look up at the starry sky, and overlook the common people.

Therefore, only by reaching the Sanctuary level and climbing the Star Picking Tower can you be qualified to become the successor to the throne, which is a red line that has never been changed in the empire for more than a thousand years.

Nearly twenty years ago, the self-proclaimed Charlemagne was assassinated on the outskirts of Gilstur during an autumn hunt, and his idiot brother Charles ascended to the throne, making Charles the only emperor in the history of the empire who did not climb the star-picking tower.

In the first few years of Charles's succession to the throne, Zuo Dennis, who was in charge of the government, often climbed the star tower and enjoyed the scenery of standing at the peak of Gilles.

Until he was on this upstairs, he was blown into steam by Antonidas with a fireball.

Now Antonidas was standing on the stargaz again, and opposite him was West, who had just proclaimed himself regent.

The fireball lingered between Antonidas's fingers, but he didn't make a move, but asked West with a bitter face:

"Over the years, where did you get so much money to raise these secret forces in the Jing Navy?"

No wonder he's depressed. He was entangled by Flopp under Fort St. John's, and his brothers fought for more than ten days, but the imperial army was gone. He had to return to Gilstur to deal with the fire of rebellion that West had kindled in the rear.

He originally thought that West had sent all the Jing Navy to the front line according to the pre-war agreement, and West would not be able to make any waves in Giles alone, as long as he used a string of fireballs to knock West away, the matter would naturally be solved.

But when I returned to Gilesto, I found that there were at least 100,000 people loyal to West who came out of nowhere, and they had already controlled Giles tightly, and the princes and grand dukes who remained in the empire and were loyal to the royal family had almost been killed by West.

On the contrary, it was his dignified and erudite god who became the commander of the light pole.

"It's not the Jing Navy, it's the 'Flower of Evil'. I am the great protector of this religion. West corrected him.

"Crazy, you people in the Broken Sect are all crazy," Antonidas said depressedly, "but Paul Edward's purpose is obvious, and I have a good time playing a game of chess with him." But why did you come over and set off the futures when it was time for the closing robbery?"

"According to the script, I believe that it was at the time of the fall of Fort St. John that the Great Prophet raised his arms on the Parliament Hill and led the counterattack in times of danger. And you, the Great Protector of the Dharma, led the Jing Navy to fight against the water in front of the battle, and joined forces to fight the invading army of the Empire. ”

"If you win, the Great Prophet will gain untold prestige, and the two major parties will side him up, and he will naturally take over the presidency as the most authoritarian president in the history of the Confederacy. Then seek a counteroffensive against the empire, and you great prophets and great protectors join hands to realize your naïve ideal of universal harmony. ”

"Of course, you may also lose, so I will follow my plan to dominate the entire continent...... You know that my reunification of the mainland is really for the benefit of the whole seat. ”

"But why did you come to the end, stabbing your great prophet in the back, and stabbing me again? What exactly is your purpose?"

"Or what did Flopp tell you?"

"Paul is still as stupid as I was when I first met him, he hasn't grown in decades, how can such a man be worthy to lead an organization?" said West, still with a blank face.

"Back then, I assassinated the emperor for the two brothers and purged the imperial family, and I did all the strength alone. ”

But John took the most important child away. Now Paul is going to bet all his treasure on such a completely uncontrolled child. It's really stupid. ”

"So," Antonidas asked with a sad face, "do you think you deserve to sit in the Emperor's seat?"

"Did you know that I actually bet heavily on that kid too?"

......

......

"So, old John broke with you because of the assassination of the emperor?" Luo Songxi asked Paul, as if he had found a sense of substitution in Paul's story.

For Luo Songxi, the longer the story Paul told, the better it would undoubtedly be for him. General Gu Changfeng is on the east bank of the Xinta River, it will take time to contact Gu Changfeng, and it will take time for Gu Changfeng to rush back.

He relied on the debate with Huang Xin at the presidential residence, which dragged on enough time to release the poison and cut off Huang Xin's henchmen.

Now it seems that Paul is much more verbose than Huang Xin, and as soon as the story is told, the time span is as long as decades.

Paul's question, which Paul is still unhurriedly answering:

In fact, the rift has been going on since Charles became demented. ”

The whole plane knows that Charles, the current emperor of the empire, is an idiot, but Charles is obviously not like this from birth, on the contrary, Charles was once very violent.

At that time, when Charles was still at the Sanctuary Rank, he was in the 100,000 Mountains, fighting with the already legendary Flopp, and broke through in the round-up of a large group of Federation elites gathered by General Konica.

"So, you guys made Charles an idiot?"

"That's not it, the cause of Charles's dementia is unknown to anyone, probably only John. But I think Charles should be aware of his situation. All I know is that one day, Charles gave John something, as solemnly as he did to his lonely. Then it didn't take long for Charles to completely lose consciousness and become a walking corpse. ”

"Oh, what did he give Old John?"

"I don't know about this, but now looking backwards, there must be the knives that Charles relied on to become famous back then, because these knives are now in your hands. The rest, I don't know. ”

Luo Songxi's inheritance may have come from a distant imperial royal family, which was actually guessed by Professor Flopp and General Konica. Now speaking from Paul's mouth only confirms this.

"And John got a little eccentric from that point on. I knew that John had great hopes for Charles, so Charles's dementia hit him hard. But I soon found out that John was not just struck by the blow, his thoughts, I can't guess. ”

"I didn't know until much later, when he decided to bet all his treasure on you. ”

"Although at that time, you were not yet born. ”
