The proprietress is named Keleshien Momiji, and she was born from the Momiji clan of the Norda Elves. At least one-third of the population of the Norda Elves are surnamed "Green Leaf" and "Red Leaf", which is not surprising, and it sounds very common.

More than 500 years ago, when she was an ignorant adolescent girl – a true contradiction to this statement – she and many of her companions left her hometown of Norda, a city full of lush forests and the smell of life and nature. We all know that the Nolda Wood Elves are the most adventurous of the surface elves, and are the main source of most elven mercenaries and adventurers we usually see, and in some cases are willing to serve foreign kings. The number one fighter under Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess, the great-grandmother of Earl Daeron of the "West Valley Aurora", is said to be a high-elf and a wood-elf hybrid elf.

Of course, Miss Kelle Sheehan is obviously not a legendary quest that will be the protagonist in later adventures, and her adventures actually lack the necessary accents. The only thing that is different from most mercenaries is that during one of her jobs, she and her companions took on a mission with a royal lord.

The reward of the mission is very rich, and everyone works very hard, so after the success of the mission, her friends are also favored by His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and they have become knights and retainers of the nobility from war dog-like mercenaries, which is actually the best way out that most mercenary adventurers are looking forward to. As for herself, it is not only her skills that His Royal Highness values her......

When describing this experience, Miss Wood Elf behaved very calmly, and she was completely heart-wrenching with a hearty aura that everything could not be said to people.

"After all, I've had times when I've been stupid and naïve. Although he knew that he was a human being, and although he knew that he already had a wife and children, he still fell into it when he saw such a majestic and lofty man. Without hesitation, I went to His Highness's bed and became his mistress. Later, he changed from His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Elk to His Majesty Emperor Elksra III, heh. What an irony......"

Elksra III, who was 40 years old when he ascended the throne, reigned for twenty years, in the history of the Holy Springs Royalty. belongs to the kind of mediocre gentleman who has neither black spots nor any masturbation points. However, when he was alive, the situation in the Auckland Empire was quite stable, so he did not end up with any too bad evaluations.

Miss Kellahion Sheen was nothing more than a mercenary-born Norda elven commoner, since she had not given birth to a child for the emperor. Naturally, she will not become a baroness with any title. However, it is still the old truth that opens and closes the door, although she is no longer the supreme mistress, she has been appreciated for her true skills. In the later reigns of Emperor Gilias, Empress Feletrica, and Emperor Thaddeus, she was considered the most trusted figure of the Crown, and although she was not a legitimate courtier of the Empire, she was in charge of the secret internal guards and intelligence forces directly under the Crown. Naturally, his position in the political arena of the empire was very important.

"Of course, it is certainly impossible for someone like me to be recorded in the official official history. The female elf smiled self-deprecatingly, "But because of this, I can get out of that whirlpool relatively easily." ”

And then. It was the last monarch she had ever met, and the famous "Yan Emperor" Jezebeth II - in terms of this fame among the people, he was actually more prominent than many kings with Ming Jun evaluation. Of course, this is also thanks to the various folk pamphlets and underground reading materials for the three hundred years after his death.

In fact, over the past few hundred years, the image of His Majesty Jezebeth has been increasingly demonized by folklore and literati interpretation. Miss Kelle Sheen, who is the person concerned and the person who has come over, seems a little helpless when she mentions this stubble: "She is actually a very enthusiastic person, very impatient and irritable, but she has no bad intentions, and even a little simple. The courtiers who serve her around her. Actually, I don't dislike her......"

"No way, the public and historical images of big people are often very different from their real images. It depends only on the needs of the present man, and does not depend on his own will or objective truth. ”

"You're doing this very new. But it really makes sense when you think about it...... Well, or rather, it's brutally real. Miss Elf was indeed moved by Lu Xi's words.

This is the so-called dialectical materialist view of history.

Ma Dan, how can I have this kind of real historical view that can completely peek into everything in the world, how can I get up in the second, think about it, although life lacks a little passion, but in the long run, it is really lofty enough. Lu Xi thought.

A hot-tempered person is not necessarily incapable of sitting on the highest throne. But. If the master of the Supreme Throne were a simple man, it would be a nightmare for himself and for the country. But in fact, the Yan Emperor, who has a fragrant name, is such a character.

What's more, she has such beauty. In this way, not only will people be cheated of money and power, but also people will be biased, right? Those underground legends of the Eighteen Forbidden Places with him as the protagonist can actually explain a lot of problems.

"Her mother died young, and her father, Emperor Thaddeus, was a cold-hearted and intolerant figure. Her Majesty's unhappy childhood also affected her outlook on life in the future, and in fact, she was nothing more than a little woman who longed to be loved. Miss Kelleshin groaned, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly said, "But I have seen her change little by little. was originally just a simple and easy girl to be deceived, but her temperament is becoming more and more paranoid, and her private life is becoming more and more debauched. At the last moment of turmoil and rebellion, I suddenly felt for the first time that the soul of His Majesty had ceased to belong to a real human being. ”

As the tone of the conversation became heavier, the hearts of everyone present couldn't help but sink like this, and Lu Xi sighed slightly, completely sure that this should be the topic of today's conversation.

"In the Yongchen Palace, the core of the Holy Auckland Empire is actually not as holy as the world imagined. Hidden in the inheritance of the glorious heroic bloodline of the Holy Emperor's founding lord, it carries a kind of original sin in itself. This is like the darkness that will inevitably come behind the light, and it is not surprising that at any time it suddenly turns against the direct blood of this heroic emperor. The elf, who had seen several kings of the Holy Spring Dynasty, sighed. This sigh seemed so calm, but in this deep state of mind, there was clearly a sense of vicissitudes and sadness that she couldn't handle herself.

"Yes, the center of power must not be holy and noble, and the supreme power must also have a dark and vicious side. This time, however, I'm referring to the literal darkness. She added.

Grant's expression was solemn, and he suddenly stood up. patted the minotaur who was still ignorant, and whispered to Lu Xi: "Young Master, I'm downstairs and won't let others go upstairs." Please feel free to let me know if you need it. ”

This peasant young man who was studying "On the Self-cultivation of a Wealthy Deacon" by a guy named Sebaschin, who was not very serious when he heard his name, Lu Xi was the earliest and least existent. But in fact, it was the subordinates who had the most common sense and were most likely to take charge alone, and they judged at the first time that the topic after that was not something that his subordinates should continue to listen to. In other words, it is better to hear as few people as possible.

On the other hand, Mr. Felk is clearly aware of this. He didn't know the other identity of Miss Kelle Sheehan, only that she was the proprietress of a century-old restaurant in Oakland, and originally thought that she would just take Lu Xi to see Oakland's famous private delicacies and make friends with the future federal magnate, but he never expected that the conversation would unfold completely beyond his expectations.

But even so, as a senior heir diplomat. And as an old official, his political and life sensitivities also told him that what the proprietress wanted to tell in the future might be major historical figures, or some secret black history related to the world's top pyramid. If you let a little person like yourself listen to it, the attitude of other people doesn't matter, but this is still a real disaster for a little person like yourself.

"Well, it just so happens that I feel a little anxious upstairs, too. Mr. Grant, Mr. Bull, let's go downstairs for dinner? It's an absolute heirloom delicacy. He stood up and naturally sent invitations to villagers A and B, and without a little smoke and embarrassment, Shi Shiran went downstairs.

Lu Xi's gaze lingered on Mr. Felke's back. has been watching the other party slowly go downstairs.

"What do you mean by darkness in the literal sense? Well, what does the original sin hidden in the royal blood of the Holy Fountain mean?" She and Lim both stayed with Lu Xi as a matter of course, and the rest of them didn't think there was a problem. Theoretically. In the minds of villagers A and B, the identities of these two girls are infinitely close to the main mother, and they are completely different from subordinates like themselves...... Of course they can listen to what they can't hear, isn't it a matter of course?

I have to say that before the Red Flag Wood had a move, the natural high and low and class differences between people existed in everyone's hearts, and this is the so-called problem that the braids in the heart are difficult to cut. However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the main body of this story, and although he has received a dragon-slaying education since he was a child, our protagonist does not have the ambition and consciousness of Taizu, and he is not ready to awaken the spirit of resistance of the toiling masses before his death.

It's actually good to be a "superior person" who rides on the heads of the working people, but after I die...... Even if the awakened nation digs up my grave and whips my corpse, it has nothing to do with me.

I have to say a digression again, people who are taught by dialectical materialist dragon slaying are much better than old-fashioned villains even if they are bad guys. Because they don't believe in fate at all, their style of action is naturally more unscrupulous......

Theoretically, Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess, who is about to ascend to the throne of Obscurity, may also be a person with dragon slaying skills, although it is impossible to be as systematic as Lu Xi understands.

Well, from that point of view, I really received some amazing education since I was a child. Lu Xi sighed with some emotion.

"Original sin...... Indeed, I have heard His Majesty Elxra mention this word several times, but at that time, his children died at an early age, and his spirit was greatly damaged, and in the following years he ignored the government and began to abandon himself. I've always thought it was a whisper when I wasn't mentally healthy. When it comes to the emperor who had the closest relationship with him hundreds of years ago, the proprietress has always been unkind: "The next few supremes did not have such a problem, until His Majesty Jezebeth ascended the throne. As you all know, as the empress, her position itself cannot be too secure, and the position of the regent is even more eyeing by all the princes. Smack one's lips. Her Majesty Jezebeth was grumpy, but not stupid, and knew that these handsome and dashing suitors had no good intentions. At that time, it became clear to her. She can't expect someone to love her, as long as she sits on the throne of Qingyao, she can only rely on herself...... However, she was not a supernatural genius like Her Highness Caterina now, and for a long time she was in a state of isolation and self-loathing. ”

Miss Kellesian is an excellent elven dancer and hunter who can protect the Empress's life. Able to take charge of the internal security forces for the Imperial Family, but unable to help the young Empress in state affairs and political battles.

"So, one night I could hear the voice of His Majesty Jezebeth speaking in his bedchamber...... That look, that tone, didn't look like mumble, it was definitely talking to somewhat, well, some kind of being. But no matter how much I investigate. She can only be found alone. At this point, the topic was already like a horror movie, so the proprietress also showed a look of apprehension: "Since then, almost every few days, she has been talking to that being...... Little by little, I watched as the young Majesty became more and more decisive, more and more fierce, but also more and more cruel. She began to purge the courtiers and nobles who had been disrespectful to her in such a crazy and brutal way, and replaced the key position with the person she trusted the most. ”

"Well, that sounds like something a wise and decisive ruler would do. Lu Xi said.

"If she promotes someone up. It's really capable Kanjo's words. The elf laughed, "But in fact, most of them are the lovers she loves. Stupid and ignorant kabuchi, a low-class knight with no appearance, and a greedy and brutal adventurer mercenary. These people gradually occupied the key departments of the imperial court, and even me, who was also relieved of military power, became the emperor's state adviser in a daze, uh, this is the so-called Ming Sheng and Secret Descent. The female elf shook her head helplessly: "I don't know when." Her Majesty became one of the people she hated the most. ”

"You didn't try to find out the truth, or how did you get Your Majesty back to normal?" Lu Xi asked.

"Of course I tried, I mixed the medicine of the true god myself, and I also ran to the Great Holy Church to ask for help, but unfortunately, the Great Holy Church was in the middle of a change of term, and the cardinals and high-ranking priests of the bishop rank went to Cloudsdale to elect a new pope, and the ordinary priests couldn't find any clues at all. The proprietress sighed heavily: "By the time the new cardinal is ready to take office, His Royal Highness Lynn, the current Grand Duke of Dragoncastle, has already raised his army. ”

And then the story, we all know from the official history. The defenders of the imperial capital who were so badly damaged were defeated by the Grand Duke of Longbao in the first battle, and nearly half of Emperor Yan's lovers were wiped out in the first battle, and nearly half of them fled, and those who were willing to follow the empress in the end were only a pair of twin beautiful boys. The empress, who was just over thirty years old at the time, died with these twin beautiful boys**, and the emperor of the Holy Spring Dynasty was killed for the first time at the hands of the princes under his command.

"But in fact, His Royal Highness Lynn didn't mean to hurt His Majesty Jezebeth......" The elf looked at the expression on Lu Xi's face, "You're kidding me", and smiled: "I'm not kidding." Grand Duke Lynn is a childhood sweetheart a few years older than Her Majesty Jezebeth, and the only person she respects. In fact, among the princes of Auckland at that time, who really did not have any selfish desires for Her Majesty the Empress, only His Royal Highness the Grand Duke. Although he was far away in Dragon Castle, he felt the change of His Majesty in the next step than me, a close female officer, and this was why he finally raised the army. He was sure that His Majesty had been seduced by something, and that it was the only way to save her. ”

Lu Xi didn't know how many percent of the emotional factors in the other party's words, but even if it was only three percent, the ancestor of the eldest sister who liked to smirk was really a very respectable figure.

However, such a "noble" character did not get a good ending or even a good posthumous name in the end.

As Grand Duke of the Empire, he supported the nearest member of the royal family, the twelve-year-old son of Emperor Thaddeus, to ascend to the throne, but then took full control of the empire as regent. However, the rest of the lords and lords could not tolerate a man who should have been placed alongside them to be called the true supreme of Auckland. During the ten years of Archduke Lynn's reign, the rebellions of the princes and lords never stopped, and the Grand Duke himself was assassinated during a counterinsurgency campaign.

The successor, Grand Duke Sefrida of Dragoncastle, eventually reached an armistice with the princes, turning the region of Seredith and the imperial capital of Serokhya into a condominium of the lords, and turning the emperor into a mascot. During this period of co-rule of the princes, the power of the Holy Spring Dynasty was relatively weak, and the Federation of the Sky and the Virginia Kingdom of the North gradually became a first-class power almost equal to Auckland. The merchants of Tatsukai also took advantage of this turbulent period to occupy the island as the king, and finally achieved the world's largest metropolis known as the capital of the seven seas.

Historical stories are always fresh, but the fate of historical figures always seems to find a trace of homogeneity, at least Lu Xi feels like this now. Speaking of which, his mood and personality slowly changed, and he finally became a person who even he hated very much...... Why does this setting sound so familiar?

"Now, after Her Majesty Jezebeth, Auckland will have a new Empress. I have also seen that His Royal Highness, his appearance is no less handsome than the original Empress, but his means and intelligence are a hundred times better, if intellectually speaking, this empire will usher in a new holy monarch after the Sun King, right? Although this civil war is fierce, it is far from hurting the vitality of the empire, if there is such a young and heroic and strong iron-fisted monarch as Her Royal Highness Katarina, the rule and prosperity of the Holy Spring Dynasty will continue for at least half a century. No, or rather, it will be more powerful than the time of the Sun King, theoretically it should be like this......" Having said that, there was no joy on the face of this elf lady, and there was still only the vicissitudes and indifference of seeing through the red dust and hiding in the city.

"As you know, I am half an Aucklander, having seen the Sacred Springs rise from the brink of extinction, and now a new Empress reigning over the world. However, perhaps it is because people like to think crankily when they are old, but now I still feel that my heart is heavy, just like I did a few days ago when His Majesty Iken was still there...... The Y haze that lingered in the bloodline of the entire Holy Emperor was far from dissipating. Keleshin smiled wryly, looking at Lu Xi's eyes with a hint of obvious expectation: "A king as strong and wise as Her Royal Highness Caterina is often more likely to be deceived by will and wisdom, giving evil demons an opportunity. It is my sincere hope that she will not become another ...... His Majesty Jezebeth" (to be continued.) )
