323. Three artifacts
For Diana, who wanted to leave, Melly did not stop her, she still sat calmly on the velvet backrest chair, drinking her special black tea with the taste of type O blood.
As she expected, Diana, who was about to leave, had just walked to the door, and before her hand touched the doorknob, she turned around and sat back in her original seat.
"Hehe, I'm not leaving."
Melly smiled and teased.
This annoyed Diana a little.
"What to go, even if I leave the student union, it is impossible for me to drop out, and I will not still be involved when the time comes, and if it is really like what you said, my Halder family will not be happy."
The merchant girl touched the hair on her forehead with some headaches, and she responded angrily to the ridicule of the vampire girl opposite.
Although it is said that in business, but after the career is big, it is always indispensable to deal with those officials, and the real big businessmen often have high political literacy, and Diana, who was born in the Halder family, is naturally no exception.
She knows very well that if everything develops as Mei Li said, then she can't escape, even if she leaves the student union, after all, when the school is in chaos, as long as she is still studying here, she will always be involved, but she can't drop out of school, the family's pursuit for hundreds of years has finally entered the mysterious side, how can it be said that she will drop out of school.
Besides, even if she can really drop out of school, she can't hide from it, after all, she is not a child of ordinary families, even if she loses her status as a student of Aldrich Academy, she is still the heir of the Halder Chamber of Commerce, and the Halder Chamber of Commerce is probably one of the targets of that group of greedy nobles.
emmmm, well, no need to estimate, yes for sure, not to mention how rich the family is, just the land in the center of Xicheng District, which my father has been buying from the down-and-out nobles through various means in recent years, is already destined that the group of nobles will not let go of her family, after all, now one-sixth of the land in the second and third rings of Xicheng District is surnamed Halder.
"Father, father, sure enough, your old man has a vicious eye, and his daughter is far from reaching."
Diana muttered with understanding at the thought of her father's frenzied sprinkling of coins over the years to fill the bottomless pit of Cornwallis City.
Indeed, if Cornwallis City had been in such a decline, then Father's actions would have looked silly, but what about once Cornwallis City got back on its feet and became the capital of the new empire again?
One-sixth of the land in the second and third rings of the imperial capital area belongs to her family, so how much benefit will this bring?
Thinking of this possibility, Diana was stunned by her father's handwriting.
It's just that the premise of this possibility is that Cornwallis City can get back on its feet and regain its former status, and for now, this possibility is ......
If it was Diana in the past, she probably thought it was impossible, after all, now that the Southern Alliance has established a new capital, then even if a new empire is established at that time, the capital will probably choose a new capital, not the old capital of Cornwallis City.
But now......
After having come into contact with the mysterious side, and knowing that this extraordinary power that dominates the entire world behind it, Diana suddenly felt that this was a little difficult to say, after all, the mysterious side seemed to have a saying that the older the more mysterious it was, the more powerful it was.
So as the capital of the thousand-year-old empire, the city of Cornwallis is estimated to be not so simple, the ghost knows how many secrets are hidden under this thousand-year-old capital, in short, the thousand-year-old heritage is definitely not comparable to the new capital that has only been established for more than ten years.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the capital of the new empire must be better in Xindu, but from a wizard's point of view, Xindu and Cornwallis City are not comparable at all.
And this world is controlled by the aristocracy on the surface, but in fact, the mysterious side behind the aristocracy and the upper class can really dominate the direction of this world.
Thinking of this, Diana had to say that her father's gamble seemed to have a good chance of winning.
"President, why are those big men so attached to that Iron Throne? It's just a symbol, if they want to, they should be able to create another silver throne, or even a gold throne. ”
In order to confirm her guess, the merchant girl asked Melly with some curiosity.
Hearing this question, Melly was stunned by the movements of her hands, she put down the teacup in her hand and sat upright.
"Also, Diana, your family has just entered the mysterious side after all, so it's normal not to know, this is actually not a big secret on the mysterious side, but common sense."
The vampire girl began to give new science to Moe.
"If it's really just a chair, then naturally there won't be so many people fighting, but it's a pity that the meaning of the Iron Throne is not only that, that throne is not a human creation at all, but a creation of the gods that fell from the sky at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, which is a congratulatory gift from the Lord of the Flame to the king of mankind, and it is a real symbol of royal power."
"A god's creation?"
Diana opened her mouth stupidly, although she had entered the mysterious side, but in the eyes of the merchant girl, this kind of thing still exists only in myths and legends, and this kind of thing that is only similar to the background setting should be far away from her, but she didn't expect to hear such a news suddenly.
"Well, the real god creation is the same as the Lionheart Sword and the Thorn Shield of Aldrich the Great in the mythology of the empire, but many people have heard of these two founding artifacts, even ordinary people, but only the people on the mysterious side know that in addition to those two founding artifacts, after the establishment of the empire, the gods gave the emperor three artifacts again."
"On that day, a meteor fell from the sky and fell in the palace, and the meteor contained three artifacts, namely the Crown of Shine, the Supreme Scepter and the Iron Throne, these three artifacts are the symbols of the legitimacy of the imperial kingship, and only those who collect these three sets are the heirs of the orthodoxy of the empire, the king of the mandate of heaven."
"Legend has it that if someone can be recognized by the three artifacts at the same time, then as long as he is within the territory of the empire, he is the invincible god of the world, and the royal power will be above everything, even the mysterious side must follow the king's will."
When Melly said this, the expression on her face was also a little leisurely, for the vampire girl who has always longed to revive her family, she longed to find the three artifacts herself, and then become the god of the world.
"But legends are just legends, there have been so many emperors of the empire in history, and there are only two who have really been recognized by the artifact, one is the founding emperor Aldrich, and the other is the last emperor Dioyous, and the results of the previous emperor You also know, the power of the three artifacts does not seem to be as mysterious as the legend."
The vampire girl added.
"And one of the three artifacts has actually been lost, on the night of the collapse of the empire sixteen years ago, the Shining Crown disappeared, and now there are only the Supreme Scepter and the Iron Throne left in the palace, but that's enough, what those nobles care about is not the power of the artifact, but the orthodox meaning that the artifact represents."
"I see."
Diana knew this, but the expression on her face became more and more uncomfortable.
This is over, my father is right to bet, this wave of family blood earns, but the premise is that the family can survive the upcoming wave.
Damn, now I can only get on the captain's thief ship, follow the team behind that group of greedy nobles, it's better to mess with this Aldrich, as the highest university, students are all over the world, Aldrich has absolute fame, so in addition to his own wealth, if the two are gathered together, even that group of nobles will not dare to provoke easily.
However, prestige and wealth are not enough, and there is still a lack of necessary strength, what if that group of nobles is forced to tear their faces, I can only hope that the president can find a stronger ally.
Diana prayed in her heart.
Then she and Melly heard the commotion coming from downstairs...........
