I haven't eaten or drunk for more than ten days, and Lan Xian'er has long been hungry! In this world without aura, Bigu Dan doesn't play a role at all, she doesn't eat or drink, and she can last a little longer than ordinary people at most.

The queen and Nicole looked in amazement at Lan Xian'er where she was gobbling up alone, she couldn't do it at all, and the meals on the table were basically swept away by her alone.

Nicole kept persuading on the side: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, you haven't eaten for so long, you should drink some porridge water first, otherwise it will hurt your body!" ”

But the queen burst into tears and said, "What a sin has it been that people have been starved like this!" Eh, it's really distressing to marry you to Count Higg, running around like a wanderer! It's better to work less with him in the future, I don't want to see you like this again! ”

"Her Royal Highness!" Lan Xian'er burped and said with a smile, "Only when you are very hungry do you know that no matter how unpalatable the food is, you know that a gold coin is also worth a lot when you are poor and crazy, and when you are used to danger, you know how hard it is to be quiet and serene!" Your Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about us, we are just going to fight for our own ideals, no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, we will live a very fulfilling life! ”

"There are no outsiders here, do you still call me Queen?" The queen looked displeased.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Lan Xian'er said with a smile, "I'm going to prepare to see His Majesty Father, I guess he is in a hurry!" ”

"Don't worry about him, I'll talk about him there!" The queen said, "I don't want to hear about you, I have no interest in what you are talking about, it is all some fighting and killing, and I am afraid that my heart will not be able to stand it, as long as you are safe, I will be satisfied!" If you look at Nicole like this, you can't open your eyes, where can you still enter the palace? Rest for a day first, and then enter the palace tomorrow! ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Blue Fairy and Nicole replied at the same time.

……

After the queen left, Blue Fairy and Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other.

"Go look in the mirror and see what you look like!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "You better sleep first!" ”

Nicole shook her head and asked, "What the hell is going on?" You and Noah are going to drive the airship here? What did you find in a tornado? ”

"Noah's airship was originally made for you!" Lan Xian'er said, "You care so much about what's going on with us, why haven't you shown up for more than two years?" ”

"Don't mention it!" Nicole said dejectedly, "My father and mother will not allow me to interfere in the affairs of other countries, let me devote myself to doing a good job in money and pawnshops, developing business, and developing people's livelihood, how dare I disobey?" ”

"If you want to make a fortune quietly, what responsibilities and risks do you not have?" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Your father has seen the wealth of money and pawnshops, and he has also seen the wealth brought by trade with Fuxing City!" Hehe, if Fuxing City is gone, your money bank system will collapse, all trade routes will be interrupted, and the biggest loss will not only be Fuxing City, but also your alchemy country! ”

"Is there any danger in Fuxing City?" Nicole asked, surprised.

"You should know better than I know what Fuxing City is in right now!" Nicole said, "Your alchemy country has so many merchant ships traveling between Fuxing City and the various ports of the alchemy country, you can't have news of Fuxing City or even Eraxia!" Now that the forces of Fuxing City and Arad have been connected, Fuxing City may be destroyed by Arad at any time, or Arad will use Fuxing City to force Higg to join his camp, but it is impossible for Higg to form an alliance with Arad, then, Arad will definitely take action against Fuxing City immediately when Higg's attitude is clear! ”

Nicole shook her head and said, "In fact, there are many merchants in Arad's camp who have economic entanglements in Fuxing City, and if Fuxing City is destroyed, Arad himself will suffer heavy losses!" Besides, Fuxing City has declared neutrality, and Higg has also resigned as Marshal of the Fifth Legion, as long as Higg does not express his stance to help Catherine's camp, Arad will not take action against Fuxing City for the time being, and we still have time to hurry up and improve the system of the Golden Yuan Empire! ”

"Hehe, it's a pity you're wrong, Higg is preparing to launch an attack on Arad!" Lan Xian'er smiled.

"Higg wants to do it?" Nicole was taken aback, "Could it be that he can't see the situation clearly and ignore the safety of Fuxing City?" Why don't you stop it? Is it going to ruin all the years of our hard work? ”

"Why should I stop it? If Higg doesn't help Catherine, then Catherine will be quickly wiped out by Arad! Lan Xian'er said, "If there are only two major forces left in the territory of Aracya, then Fuxing City will be even more dangerous, with Higg's current strength, even if the Fifth Legion is completely assigned to his own forces, it is impossible to be Arad's opponent, so in addition to the destruction of Fuxing City, only one way to surrender, Arad will not care whether you are neutral or not, at that time it is the strength that has the final say!" So, Catherine cannot be eliminated, and the two weaker forces must unite against the stronger side! Hey, Alad Ba wants Higg to sit on the sidelines! Arad is well aware that Higg will not join his camp, but he now has Higg's soft underbelly Revival City in his hands, so he is confident that Higg will not meddle in Catherine's affairs again. But Higg himself is going to do it soon! ”

"But if Higg launches an attack on Arad, the city of Fuxing will surely suffer!" Nicole said worriedly, "Do you have to sacrifice the whole of Fuxing City?" ”

"So I'm coming for you!" Lan Xian'er said.

"Looking for me?" Nicole was surprised, "Is there anything I can do to help Fuxing City solve the crisis?" ”

"You don't, the alchemy country owns!" Lan Xian'er said, "The neutral status of Fuxing City needs to be recognized by the Alchemy Country, and it promises to lose and prosper with Fuxing City!" ”

"One loss, one glory?" Nicole was taken aback: "There is no problem in asking the Alchemy Country to recognize the neutrality of Fuxing City, but if other countries or other forces have any intentions against Fuxing City, we can at most condemn it morally or sanction it economically, and it is absolutely impossible to use force with other countries!" Besides, in terms of the current relationship between Fuxing City and the Arad forces, if the Alchemy Country expresses its position like this, it is tantamount to declaring war with the Arad forces, how is this possible? ”

"It's impossible, you have to settle the account to know!" Lan Xian'er said, "As long as there are enough benefits, it is possible!" Fuxing City and Arad are enemies, and they are not put on the surface, and Arad's caravan and Fuxing City are also inextricably linked, so the Alchemy Country should make a statement as soon as possible to avoid a conflict before making a statement, then it is really a declaration of war! ”

"I don't understand, why do you have to drag our alchemy country into the water!" Nicole said dissatisfiedly, "No matter how rich Fuxing City is, it is only a city land, and no matter how weak the Alchemy Country is, it is also a big country!" If we really made a statement early, then if Arad really attacked Fuxing City, could it be that my Alchemy Kingdom would really be an enemy of Arad? No matter how much interest there is in Fuxing City, it is not as important as the national security of our Alchemy Country! Besides, Revival City was originally the territory of Aracia, whether it is Catherine or Arad, how to deal with Revival City is Aracia's own national affairs, so what does it have to do with us? Lan Xian'er, you can't even convince me, how do you tell me to convince my father? Even if I want to help you, I have to convince me! ”

"You'll agree, and so will your father!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "I have time for you to think about it!" ”

"What if you agree, could it be that Arad is afraid of our alchemy country tens of thousands of kilometers away?" Nicole laughed and said, "Even if Arad really attacks Fuxing City, even if we declare war, it will not help, but will provoke Arad to seize Fuxing City as soon as possible!" ”

"We are not worried about the ground forces of Arad, but of the naval forces!" Lan Xian'er said, "The combined fleet of the Sixth Theater and Catherine's First and Second Legions has had the upper hand in the past few years, and in that sea area, the Sixth Theater is basically the dominant one. ”

"Speaking of the navy, my father should be even more angry!" Nicole said, "Back then, my father was instigated by the two of you, and in order to support Fuxing City, he did not hesitate to oppose the Sixth War Zone and Shenlong Island, and the result was a complete defeat! The strength of our Alchemy Country's original navy was second to none, and even Shenlong Island did not dare to fight us head-on, and the failure of the revival fleet made the Alchemy Country's navy simply become the laughing stock of other countries! But it's also to blame me for being greedy for merit, too gullible for believing in the Second Legion, and too much for believing in Catherine! Catherine put me on the way, and now she wants us to help her deal with the Sixth War Zone, and the navy of my alchemy country is too cheap! ”

"Could it be that your alchemy country has swallowed your anger like this?" Lan Xian'er said with a smile, "I don't ask the Alchemy Nation to declare war on Arad, but I have my own power in that sea area, which can deter the Sixth War Zone!" You need your own strength, and without strength, how can you get to the throne? ”

"What?" Nicole was shocked, "You want me to take the throne?" ”

"Your Majesty has five years to live at most, and I already knew about this a few years ago," Lan Xian'er said, "If you don't ascend the throne, will you let your two elder brothers ascend the throne?" ”

"You mean, my father only has five years to live?" Nicole's eyes widened, she stood up and pulled Lan Xian'er's arm, and said, "You can save even those who are dying, can't you save my father?" ”

"Three years to five years, we can only cure the disease, but not the life!" Lan Xian'er said, "Your Majesty's longevity is coming to an end, and there is nothing we can do!" ”

Nicole asked blankly, "Father...... Is it really hopeless? ”

"You don't have to be too upset!" Lan Xian'er said, "There are so many magic guides in the Alchemy Kingdom who are proficient in physical therapy, in fact, Your Majesty himself should be very aware of his own situation, and his fate is difficult to change!"

"Even so, there are still my two older brothers who can succeed to the throne, and it won't be my turn!" Nicole said, "They don't have any bad deeds, and the qualifications to inherit the throne will not be my turn!" What do you mean that you want us to kill each other among the royal families of alchemy for the throne? ”

"Hmph, although your two elder brothers are not bad, but they are small virtues, and the ministry is great virtues, can you see if they can manage the alchemy country well?" Lan Xian'er said, "The throne is not just a small virtue can be competent, a decision, a thought, can determine the fate of the country and the nation!" You have been running around for the Alchemy Country in the past few years, in order to make the Alchemy Country stronger and richer! Can you guarantee that the money system and the business system you have established will continue to function after your brother ascends the throne? In the face of this upcoming great era, how far can the king who has no courage, relies on following the rules, and does not seek no merit, but has no desire, can take the alchemy country far? Rather than waiting for your royal brother to make a mess of the alchemy country after he ascends the throne, and you can't stand it and force your brother to abdicate, it is better to accumulate enough strength and prestige now and cut off the idea of your royal brother ascending the throne, which is also for the sake of your alchemy country to be less bloody and less hateful, and there is absolutely no other intention!! ”

"Although there is some truth in what you said, it is not up to us to decide who the crown prince is, but by my father, and if my father appoints one of his two elder brothers as the heir to the throne, we will have nothing to say!" Nicole said, "As you said, the new king will make a mess of the alchemy kingdom, is it an exaggeration? With my assistance, how could Brother Wang make a mess of the Alchemy Kingdom? ”

"Nicole, I can't believe it, these words came out of your mouth, and you still grew up in the royal family!" Lan Xian'er sneered, "Your current popularity and strength are above your two elder brothers!" After one of them ascends the throne, your other brother is mediocre and will not do anything, but you are different, when a king's popularity and strength are not as good as his subordinates, this king has only one choice, and that is to get rid of this courtier! ”

"That can't be!" Nicole said, "My two older brothers are very good to me, how could such a thing be done? ”

"Hehe, Nicole, you see that the royal family of Erathia and the Forest Country can see it so clearly, is it that when it comes to yourself, you are confused, or you don't want to admit it?" Lan Xian'er continued to sneer, "Ruthless is the most emperor's family!" Whoever sits in that position will sit like this, and your brother Wang is no exception! I want to ask you, would you rather die, or would you like to rebel? Or is he going into exile alone, abandoning and abandoning everything he has painstakingly managed in the Alchemy Country for many years? Including your ideals, your ambitions? Ask yourself what you are willing to choose! ”

"But I don't have the heart to covet the throne!" Nicole sat back in place.

"The profession of the throne not only means the pinnacle of power, but also a responsibility and a responsibility!" Lan Xian'er said, "You don't want to sit on the throne, do you want to see the person who sits in this position only knows how to exercise power, but has no ability to travel and take responsibility?" It is not that the benevolent are not modest and do not love themselves, but that they think for the common people, for the people, for the foundation of the country, for the sake of prosperity, and for the sake of assuming their own responsibilities, which is actually a great spirit of dedication, which is the great virtue that is truly needed to govern the country! I'm sure you'll figure it out! Your father will definitely think it through! ”

"What are you trying to tell me about this?" Nicole said, "After all, this is our alchemy country's own business, who becomes the king, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"Well, when I didn't say anything!" Lan Xian'er said angrily, "Even if your alchemy country becomes a mess, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

After Lan Xian'er finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Nicole asked hurriedly.

"I've eaten too much, go out for a walk, and then go back to my mansion!"
