Two days ago, Yanos. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Highness, Tingle has sent a letter from Issos." The old man in the dark black doctor's robe pushed open the door and entered, taking a deep breath of the mist in the room, the bitter smell of herbs poured into his lungs, and the doctor's professionalism made him quickly judge that this was a medicine that blindly used the rhizome of Sewen grass as a guide, which had a good eradication effect on snake venom, even in the face of toxins that had been improved by the snake worship, it could also play a certain neutralizing role.

"Put it on my desk, Hippold." Elise said nonchalantly, all her attention focused on the stove in front of her, fiddling with the flames from time to time to make sure the potion was evenly heated.

Hippok hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This is the Black Feather Secret Letter, something big seems to have happened on Issos's side." ”

"What?" Elise was shocked, and suddenly looked up, only to see that the envelope in Hippock's hand was inserted with three black crow feathers, indicating a turmoil that threatened to upend the foundations of the empire. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, thinking that the fog in the room was interfering with her vision, but the fog cleared, and the three crow feathers were clearly revealed, like three ominous black flags. In the short history of the establishment of the Yanos Military Medical Order, there has never been an urgent secret letter from the three feathers, or even the second one, and it was in 352 that a massive plague broke out in Chelez, near the Janos, and nearly turned the relatively fertile plain into a hellish no-man's land.

What happened on Issos's side? Elise hesitantly took the letter, thinking about it as she unwrapped it. With the High Priest of Wendir in charge, it stands to reason that even if the Serpent Sect riots, it will have to weigh the weight of tens of thousands of mercenaries of the Order, not to mention that there are also Shadow Wings and Immortal Knights stationed there, and the garrison is second to none among the major cities and towns of the Empire, and I really can't think of any emergency that can make Tingle insert three crow feathers in the secret letter. Like Hippock beside him, Tingle was also a third-class knight who had retired from the Knights of the Radiant Cross, and the compassion of the physician and the fortitude and calmness of the soldier were perfectly forged in him, and since he made such a judgment, he must have his reasons.

The letter was quickly opened, and Elise only glanced at it, and her expression changed dramatically, as if a haze had come from between the lines to her face, almost breaking her brow. "Hippok, you watch the fire, and in ten minutes you will be sent to your father's bedchamber." She got up and went out, dropping a word without looking back.

"Understood, Your Highness." Hippold looked uneasily at Elise's back, Tingle, what exactly did you say in your letter?

……

Elise clenched the letter tightly and walked briskly through the courtyard of the palace until she came to the Emperor's bedchamber, where Marius began to let Elise try to deal with some of the political affairs while she recuperated in the palace. Elise, who had been brought into the center of power by Marius, greedily absorbed nutrients and rapidly transformed into a majestic centralizer, and so far, she had done a pretty good job, at least the mayors of Janos were no longer afraid to look Elise in the eye when they reported.

"Is it time to take medicine?" Hearing Elise's footsteps, Marius put down the scroll in his hand and looked up. Recently, his condition has improved, and the sickly green on his face has faded a lot, but he still needs to rely on a wheelchair for mobility.

"Father, something big is going on in Issos." Elise placed the secret letter in front of Marius, "You'd better see it for yourself." ”

"Three feathers' urgent secret letter?" Marius stretched out his index finger and pressed it on the envelope, his thumb picked it up, and the secret letter spun around the table a few times before stopping, "Still Issos...... Hmph, the conflict between the Shadow Wing and the Immortal Knights has finally erupted. ”

Elise was taken aback: "Father, have you been-"

Marius raised his hand and interrupted her: "I guess, think about it, apart from the large-scale armed conflict between these two forces, what other emergencies can qualify for three crow feathers?" He pulled the secret letter out of the envelope and looked at it carefully, a playful sneer appeared on his face, "The fight happened yesterday, but it wasn't until today that a secret letter was sent from Issos's side, and it was still sent through the military doctor's channel. Wendir, that old fellow, actually tried to hide from me, if it weren't for the fact that the Medic Corps also had a branch in Issos, I am afraid that I would not know anything about this matter in two days. Am I giving the Goddess of Creation too much self-determination to make him a little flustered? ”

"The military doctors led by Tingle carried out emergency rescue of the wounded on both sides, but fortunately, the priest of Wendir only treated them as ordinary medical troops and did not restrict their movement too much, so Tingle had the opportunity to send the secret message." Elise whispered, "I believe Priest Wendir must have done this for a reason......

"What reason?" Marlo scoffed, "It's nothing more than thinking that I would favor the Immortal Knights regardless of it." But did he forget that both Agathon and Justus were my subordinates, and even if Justus chose to side with him out of the overall situation, Agathon would not have participated in such a major decision without the intervention of the Emperor. Elise, you should rush to Issos now, take the magnificent sword of Bacchus, and take full authority to deal with this matter on my behalf. He smiled and looked at his daughter, "Good job." ”

"Yes!" Elise straightened up, then hesitated, "But what position should I take?" ”

"Just do it according to your own judgment, and I'm sure you'll make the right choice." "Wendier thinks I'm going to be single-minded about suppressing the Shadow United? Does he think I'm the kind of mediocre emperor who follows his own selfish intentions? It's not that I can't go, it's just that I don't want to meet with Kyros. This is also a rare opportunity for you, if it can be successfully resolved, you should be able to officially enter the top political circle of the empire, and Justus and they will all know that you are now my spokesperson. You don't want to deal with the prefect of Yanos every day, do you? At the end, Marius did not forget to joke, "Come on, my Majesty the Empress." ”

"Father!" Elise was a little embarrassed, and at the same time her expression was also very serious, "Although it is in the dormitory, it is better to make fewer jokes like this, and it will inevitably cause extraneous complications in the ears of those who have a heart." ”

"Well, that makes sense." Marius nodded, his eyes full of relief.

"Chief Medic Hippold asks to see you." The guards came in and reported, "They said they were here to deliver medicine to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Understood." Elise stood up, "I'll meet you." Father, it's time to take medicine. ”
