Note: The solemn and sacred castle of imperial power in the past is in chaos. Those who want to overthrow the emperor, hold back, "Emperor Yiping, those who want to fish in troubled waters, are all acting nervously and fighting." But there is a relatively remote corner, which is eerily quiet and peaceful.

On the third floor of the northwest corner tower, there is a series of spacious and luxurious suites, exquisitely furnished and elegantly decorated, more luxurious than most of the rooms in the entire castle, but they have been vacant for many years.

Except for the maids who keep the suites tidy, few people usually notice this place. I don't think I'll use it again for three or four years, but these suites are just there. The furnishings inside have never been touched.

Until now. When the castle was in turmoil, two old men sat in the originally empty living room of the suite.

From time to time, there were faint sounds of bombing, tearing, and shouting, indicating that an unusual situation was happening outside, but the two old men were calm and indifferent, sitting opposite each other, with a chessboard on the tea table in the middle, and only a few remaining chess pieces remained on the chessboard.

Obviously, this game of chess has experienced extremely tragic battles, and the result is that both sides are defeated, and the whole game is lost.

The old man in a pure white robe sat in a wooden wheelchair, his silver-white hair combed very neatly. The thin face is also neatly groomed, and a pair of pale yellow eyes reflect the chessboard and opponent in front of him gently and clearly.

And the old man opposite him, dressed in a straight and shiny military coat. The style is simple, and it is slightly whitened because of age. The hair on the top of his head had long since completely withered, and his wrinkled face had a big beard, and his expression was not angry and arrogant, and his dark eyes stared at the chessboard for a long time, as if he wanted to find something out of it.

"Fahis. The game is over. ”

Elderly man in wheelchair. Whisper a simple reminder to warn your opponent not to get caught up in a game that has already ended.

The old man in military uniform did not react immediately, and continued to stare for a while before slowly closing his eyes and sighing.

Donald: "When did we start playing chess together, we would definitely play like this?"

Fahis. Rennes. The spiritual leader of the Heavenly Sect Imperial Family, the Supreme Marshal of the Imperial Magic Army.

Donald. Dürenko, the royal debut healer. The elder leader of the Empire's healing wizarding world.

These two characters are undoubtedly the existence of Xuan Feng, the authority of the Wren Empire, and this is also the case. The pillars of the empire in the essence of the word.

How high is their status?

Words to illustrate. Not only the emperor and the crown prince, even if the royal family dies in a chaos and the royal family is completely wiped out, as long as these two people are still there, the entire empire will not be in chaos. On the other hand, if these two people die together one day, the country will inevitably fall into turmoil and chaos, even if the royal family is still intact.

None of them wore a crown that symbolized dominance, but uncrowned giants who influenced everything behind the scenes.

The war that is currently taking place in the castle, if they have the heart to quell it. It wasn't going to be messy in the first place.

In fact, the occurrence of this coup d'état means that the crown prince's forced palace and the ongoing fierce battle are under their instruction or acquiescence.

"I think it started more than 30 years ago, I don't remember well, I don't remember very well

The wheelchair old man said in a reminiscent tone.

"Thirty years, unconsciously, has passed so long. ”

Fa Si still had his eyes closed, looking relaxed, but his spine was instinctively straight, without a trace of slackness.

As the opposite of nature, the boss who saves people and the boss who kills. Although they are both pillars of the empire, there are not many times when they agree with each other, and most of them are full of contradictions.

A gamble. A single confrontation will cause turmoil in a certain area of the empire. And the result of each hand, just like a game of chess on the table, no one wins or loses, no one loses, and there are only relative efforts and gains.

"If you can. I'd like to fight you for another thirty years, but "We don't have time, old friend."

The Imperial Marshal opened his eyes, and there was majesty and loneliness in his eyes.

Donald's withered hands caressed the white blanket on his thighs, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Rored was a good boy, unlike his father. ”

"Yes, it's rare to be able to agree with you once, but as the soon-to-be-ascended emperor, he still lacks a lot of things, and he is particularly easy to control. ”

"Sayerem is not a good boy, and there are many evils hidden in his eyes that cannot be known

。

"I admire him, but he's so strong that if there are no checks and balances, everyone will be a puppet for him. ”

A few words of conversation revealed the essence of the current chaotic situation.

"We need another child, a good child, a good-hearted child," the wheelchair old man whispered.

"Lawrence has fallen under the control of Sayerem, and the rest of Fana, Audrey, Enade, Clarence. Even if it is not his opponent combined, there is no way to play this chess, who else, can sit opposite that monster?" muttered the Imperial Marshal.

"Cranred said that when the kid came back, he would go to the girl first. ”

"Cranred's species, illegitimate grandson

The Bamboo Fire Mage, the winner of the Two Nations Conference, is a particularly eye-catching monster

"It's just that kid

"It's also a blood brother of Sayelem, it's like a fate to die"

Noted Chongyang. Bright, it was long before the start of the Three Kingdoms Congress.

The old man in the wheelchair stepped in to keep his qualification, and the old man, who was the marshal, also expressed his concern intentionally or unintentionally, forcing Prince Nan and his son not to act rashly against him. Even went against the norm and started to solicit it.

Born in a small aristocrat in the remote north, calm, unyielding, gentle and kind, a magician with great fortune and great magic, he has created miracles more than once. Until the critical time Xuan awakens and returns.

That's him.

Once again, the two old men came to a rare agreement and looked at each other. Invariably, they stretched out their big hands and removed the extra chess pieces on each side of the chessboard, leaving only the four pieces standing opposite.

On one side, there is the black king and mage.

On the other side, there is the white queen and knight.

Somewhere in the castle, Emperor Wren sat quietly behind his desk, holding the imperial jade lord in his hand, who symbolized the supreme ruling power of the empire, staring blankly at the silver mirror in front of him.

Suddenly, the silver mirror became a blur, and after a moment it became clear again. It shows a blue-haired old man wearing the uniform of a royal knight general, with a majestic demeanor, cold eyebrows and eyes, and a handsome appearance.

"Icarus?"

The emperor suddenly came back to his senses, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Even you, the head of the Royal Knights, will personally come forward to persuade me to surrender?"

"Your Majesty" I don't intend to argue with you more, but you understand, as a monarch and friend for many years, even if I am resented by you, I want to persuade you at the last time, you can't resist no matter what,"

"Shut up".

Before the Knight Commander could finish speaking, the Emperor suddenly erupted in great anger, his face, which had always been calm, suddenly distorted, his eyebrows were fierce, his eyes were almost spewing flames, and the majesty containing evil qi filled the entire space.

"I've had enough! I'm obviously the emperor, why do I have to listen to two old men pointing fingers! I've been putting up with it for so many years, but this is the end of it! Inciting my son to rebel against me! I'm going to hand over the future of the country to a monster of unknown origin!"

Peng Dong vented his anger and kicked the wide desk to the waist and broke it, flipped it open and smashed it against the wall of the room. Scraped expensive oil paintings, splashed wood chips and debris everywhere.

"Two old fools! They will only bury the whole empire by doing this! Wren is finished, everything is going to be finished! Why doesn't everyone understand?! I am not wrong! It is the two old fellows who are wrong, and it is all of you who are wrong!!"

The Emperor roared in the mirror, then laughed miserably. Waving the jade hope in his hand, laughing and crying at the same time, he looked like crazy.

"Your Majesty, Roshirid" Icarus had a tangled expression. His eyes flickered, looking at the emperor who was almost crazy, and he couldn't help but whisper the other party's name.

"Don't call me by my name! I am the emperor, I am the emperor of a country, I am not a puppet The emperor shouted loudly. The phrase "not a puppet" reverberated in the dusty room for a long time.

Icarus bowed his head.

"Well, Your Majesty, this is the last time I will serve you, I just received a message that in addition to Cranred, who wants to capture you personally, there is another person who is heading in your direction, and his target should be the head of the Presland House, as well as the "Comatose Princess." ”

"Who?" Hearing this unexpected information, the emperor, who was crying and laughing, was slightly stunned.

"Chongyang. Brett. The fire mage of the temple who won the victory of the Three Kingdoms Conference! He didn't know how he used to come back alive from the spatial turbulence, and he became an awakened person like Sayerem, and his strength has increased greatly, and he has defeated Retsuki without being hurt in the slightest. ”

Icarus said goodbye

"Chongyang. Bright," the Emperor muttered, remembering the dark-haired young man he had once been impressed.

"He seems to have known that he was betrayed by Rei Yue and Cranred, so he first killed Rei Yue, and then went into the castle to settle accounts with Cranred, and he and Her Royal Highness the princess are lovers, which is equivalent to saying"

"He's on my side. The emperor instantly understood.

"That's right, Your Majesty, so this is the last chance to resist. You get the idea. Icarus said meaningfully.

The Emperor shook the Great Seal of Jade Hope in his hand tightly.

"Thank you, old friend. ”

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. ”

The head of the Royal Knights disappeared from the mirror, leaving only the emperor who had reined in his mania and regained his deep and wise mind.

His eyes lit up. Slowly put away the jade wang, and then walked towards the door.

The loyal guards of "Your Majesty" standing guard outside the door stood up and saluted.

"Roseali" my daughter's bedroom. I guess it's still under our control, belt

The emperor ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
