Chapter 130: The Cemetery and the Code
The morning sun is not too blazing, quietly shining in the cemetery of the Fallen Leaf Valley, and the slightly humid air is dotted with a faint scent of flowers and plants. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Baron Pike was babbling to the stone tablet of the former king, and as he spoke, he probably felt a little thirsty, so he took back the bouquet of flowers that had been placed in front of the tombstone of the former king, and pulled two blue petals into his mouth and chewed them.
Cough...... Daddy, is it really appropriate for you to do this......
Maureen glanced at the young man next to him in embarrassment, trying to pretend that he didn't know the baron. I don't know who the young man in the dark green robe next to him is, and he doesn't speak, just stands on the side and watches them, but from the fact that he can order the guards outside the cemetery, it can be seen that at least he is also a general in the army, and it is better than Daddy's outdated griffin shield.
I'm really worried that if my dad does anything out of the ordinary, he will order the guards to drive him out.
The baron spoke a lot at the tombstone, and Maureen could tell that the little brother that the baron had boasted about before was King Errol. From what he learned, it was true that King Errol was a few years younger than his father, but he was a very beloved king in the records, and the boy could not imagine him snorting after his father's ass.
Pike ate two more petals, placed the bouquet back in front of the tombstone, patted the tombstone of King Errol like a companion's shoulder, and then turned to the tombstone to the right with a sigh.
He looked at the name "Jaenerys Victor" carved into the white stone tombstone, as if to say something, but choked in his throat but couldn't make a sound.
"They...... Is it here?" he asked suddenly.
Maureen was stunned for a moment, then realized that this question was not for himself.
"Brother Wang is not ......here," the young man on the side shook his head.
"Brother Wang's body has never been found, Jenny...... Queen Liz is buried here. ”
The young man called King Errol his brother, and he turned out to be His Majesty the Lord Regent, Esil Victor.
More than a decade ago, he was a student in the distant empire of Gesok, and when that nightmarish night passed, he returned to Lothar, took the scepter under the twinkling gaze of many nobles, and was crowned king, single-handedly sustaining the ancient country. It wasn't until half a year later that His Royal Highness Strayer was finally recovered, and he retired as regent and still managed the country dutifully.
Although he knew that His Majesty the Lord Regent was not yet thirty years old this year, Morin never expected that he would really look so young, and he might also be influenced by the sea of magic. And after discovering that the young man standing on the side was actually His Majesty the Regent, the young man did not know what kind of etiquette should be practiced, and it was inevitable that he felt a sense of restlessness.
Papa Pike, in particular, didn't seem to have the slightest intention of saluting the other party.
The baron looked at the queen's tombstone, was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "When those charges against me are finally dismissed, or...... When I return to the embrace of the moon god one day, I will quietly change this name back, and her original surname should also be added to the middle......"
Morin didn't understand this, but he felt that Daddy seemed to know Queen Jaenerys well.
“…… It can't be engraved forever," the baron continued, "and she has never liked a name as long as Jeanerys, she prefers the simpler ones. ”
The Regent Esir nodded, "I'll make a note of it, and if I'm not there, I'll let Strayer do it." ”
Hearing Strayer's name, the baron frowned and looked at Errol, "Are you so sure that kid is okay?"
"Lord Wayne and the Inheritance Code have been examined, what can be the problem?" Esir's voice was a little tougher, as if the question made him not happy, he took over the throne of Lothar when he was more than ten years old, and he had honed a unique temperament, and at this time, the slightest toughness in his tone showed majesty.
The baron shook his head and sighed, "After all, I am still implicated. ”
"Strayer has indeed had suspicious people around him, but I sent someone to track it down and found nothing, and in any case, he is the son-in-law of Brother Wang, no matter what those rumors say, this cannot be changed, and this verification of the inheritance code ceremony is also for everyone to witness. Esier said.
"Well, I came here to see the kid. The baron replied.
"Merlin, salute Queen Jaenerys, it's almost time for us to go. He said.
The boy made a memorial salute in earnest.
Papa Parker's voice came from the side: "Jaenerys, she's mine...... Friend, it's okay for you to call her Aunt Sheng by generation......"
Hearing this, Mo Lin remembered the black stone sculpture he had seen in the royal capital square before, and made a memorial ceremony again.
After the ceremony, the young man turned around, only to find that the baron was looking at him in a daze, with an expression of disbelief, and couldn't help asking, "Daddy?"
"Ah?!" the baron finally came to his senses.
He looked away from Xiao Morin, shook his head and laughed at himself: "I can't even remember what they look like in more than ten years, and everyone feels like ...... Oh, let's go. ”
He nodded to His Majesty Essir and led Merlin out of the Fallen Leaf Valley Cemetery.
……
The sun slowly became hot, and Esir sat in front of his brother's tombstone for a while before getting up and leaving.
As the regent of Lothar, he was rarely accompanied by guards, because just as Morin felt, he was a professional himself, a good magician. Even because of his talent, he was admitted to the Royal Academy of the Gessok Empire at the beginning, and it was rumored to be a good talk for a while, you must know that the magic academy rarely admits students from other countries.
Esir soon returned to the palace, and without stopping at any other place, without even changing his robes, he went straight to the council chamber and sat down on the regent's seat.
There are already three people waiting for the next one.
One of them was Wayne the White, who was the head of the temple in Lothar, managing the affairs of the four temples and negotiating with the temple on behalf of Lothar. The second was the armoured General Hunt, who commanded Lothar's army and was responsible for the security of the royal capital and the surrounding area, and was currently the only general who could be awarded the Griffon's Sword, and Osmond's grandfather. The third was a pale and thin young man, known to everyone as "White Vine", who was a close confidant of Essil and was in charge of Lothar's foreign affairs.
The presence of these three men, together with the regent, left little to discuss undiscussed.
Esil took out a letter and gave it to the next three to circulate it.
This was the letter that the Earl of Grey Mountain had delivered to Strayer, and after Strayer had read it, it had been sealed again, and Lothar had given it to Elsier for inspection.
The letter was short, in which the Count of Grey Mountain admitted to his feud with the regent Esier and wanted to support Strayer's early coronation. And spent the rest of the space to imply that Esir's mind was impure, and that his arbitrariness caused conflicts among some aristocratic factions.
The gist is to enlist Strayer against the regent.
It's just that the next three people didn't show any surprised expressions after reading it.
It seems that the contents of this letter did not exceed their expectations.
"White Teng, is there any news from the Grey Mountain Territory?" asked Esier.
His edict should have been sent for some time, and it was originally planned that Strayer's return would be a few days late, and the ceremony would be held immediately after returning to Lothar, but he arrived in Lothar a few days earlier through the Spatial Floating Gate, and the Earl of Grey Mountain apparently seized the opportunity to try to win over Strayer.
The Grey Mountain Lords are still in a state of preparation, but the whereabouts of the Grey Mountain Earl are currently uncertain, and there are clues that he is preparing to come to the royal capital.
Esier nodded.
Goblins can tell from the fluctuations in the price of commodities in the market, and they certainly have similar channels. It is no secret to many that the Grey Mountain Lords are in a state of readiness for war, but as long as the Earl of Grey Hill does not declare his departure from Lothar for a day, and does not recruit the royal family for a day, it is impossible for the royal family to sanction him for preparing for war.
At least you can't sanction him on the surface, after all, the nobles have a strict code of conduct.
"General Hunter, this year's magic tide has receded, and the chaotic erosion should be relatively calm, can we still draw some troops back from the border?"
Lothar is directly bordered by the border of order, and most of the standing army is spread across the border to defend against the encroachment of chaos. In fact, in the Todell continent, even the countries located in the middle of the continent, those countries that have been burning the flame of order on all sides, will still send a large number of troops to be responsible for the defense of the border of order all year round, which is the basic principle set by the Holy Alliance, and the Holy Council of the Holy Alliance is also responsible for the dispatch of troops on the border of order.
"There should be some troops to come back, but this will have to negotiate with the Alliance, and Lord Wayne will need to help negotiate. Hunter replied.
"Then there is still Lord Lawynne in this matter. Esier smiled.
Life Sacrifice Wayne bowed slightly: "I'll do it." ”
"Count Grey Hill put aside, what happened to the matter I asked you to discuss?" asked Ethiel.
Hunter pondered for a moment and said in a rough voice: "I object, I think we should still act according to the code, and it is unreasonable to change it rashly, besides...... His Royal Highness is still young, and he has to go to a foreign country to study, and he cannot manage state affairs, so His Majesty will have to work for another ten years anyway. It would be frivolous to change the code just for the sake of a simple formality. ”
Bai Teng replied: "I have a different opinion from General Hunt, I think this matter will help to calm people's hearts, and it can also heal the rift between some noble factions, and even make some rumors untenable, no matter how you look at it, it will be beneficial." ”
The stark opposing views also made Esier frown for a moment.
Wayne looked left and right and said, "Since you can't make a decision for a while, don't let me ask His Highness what he means? After all, if this thing is really to be implemented, he has to agree to it." ”
"That's right," Essil then ordered his men to fetch Strayer.
"We're just discussing this, how about hearing your opinion?" said Esier.
"I would like to propose a change to the Legacy Code so that you can be crowned sooner. ”
