By dawn the next day, Helliga had already arrived alone near the clearing of the Lunalia Natural Park, where Valimar had used to hide when she had been here, mainly for fear of being discovered by the Confederates. However, now, Kruchen has long been a reservation for the regular army after the chaos has been rectified, so the traces of the riders no longer need to be hidden here, but can be parked in the open space or airport of any town in Kruchen State.

Therefore, in this case, Heliga's purpose was not to come here to meet them, even if Lane and the others said last night that they would return with the new Class VII members today, they would not have to arrive here so early. He's here today only because of an oral invitation he got from Lévy yesterday.

"Okay, I'm here now, and the time is up to you. It's time to show up, right? Heliga whispered in a certain direction, and then Vita's figure naturally appeared.

"I've heard all about it...... Although the Lord of Kane still doesn't know yet, the news of the association is a little more well-informed than them. Vita's voice remained the same, "You should know it yourself, right?" If this happens, it should be impossible for Kane to sit still. ”

"I guess he's going to want to get Rien to his side, right?" Heiliga said lazily, "I thought about it for a moment...... I thought it would be like this. He trusts and relies on Chloe very much, so it is natural that he will also regard Ryne, who also has a riding god, as a target to fight for. ”

He did mention this before...... But Chloe said something to him vaguely, and he didn't care about it for a while. I think even if we don't talk about it here, he should have known what was going to happen by the afternoon at the latest...... The intelligence system of the aristocratic army is not completely absent. Besides, if he really let the state of Notia suffer from the enemy, then the large amount of military industrial supplies that Duke Kane received after the start of the civil war would also be greatly affected, and he probably wouldn't want this to happen. But ......"

"But?"

"But you really picked a good time...... If it had been in the early days of the war, and you had done this, the whole thing might not have ended. Vita smiled, "But not necessarily now...... If the Duke of Kane is concerned, he will regard the affairs of the imperial capital as the most important thing, and he will not spend too many resources on you. ”

"It's no longer interesting to talk about what position or anything like that...... Anyway, I'm doing what you said before. Heliga coughed slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have mentioned that the Society needed a ceremony for Ryne and Chloe to move the plan forward...... It's almost time to explain, right? What exactly is involved in this project? ”

"Hmm...... Although it doesn't matter if you tell you now, but this atmosphere is still not strong enough......" Vita rolled her eyes, gently hid her face, and smiled: "So let's keep it secret for a while." And, to be honest, that's not the point, is it? I don't think Chloe wants to, and you don't want that to happen. ”

"In the current situation, to defect to a thief like Duke Kane, I don't think Lane's brain is broken. By the way, Chloe, you're getting him ready to jump out of the thief ship, right? Although it is probably inevitable to be implicated, it is better than going all the way to the dark. Besides, if he's willing to follow you afterwards...... Running away with the association, I can also pretend that I didn't see it. ”

"I don't know anything about him either...... I don't know what he thinks. However, after the revenge, I always felt that he seemed a little bit more ...... A look that doesn't care about anything. Vita sighed, "In this case, those worries he showed to Rien-san...... On the contrary, it makes me feel a little relieved, at least this way, he still looks like a person with normal feelings. ”

"Probably after taking revenge, I lost my life goal for a while. This is also normal, after all, the plan to assassinate the prime minister is not something that ordinary people can do. After experiencing this kind of stimulation, I am afraid that nothing can affect his mood. Heiliga smiled, "Levi seems to have had these situations more or less before, but even if it is temporarily solved with the help of the seventh pillar, it is difficult to say that the current situation is improving, probably ......"

"With my words, things are a little different." Levy's voice suddenly sounded, which surprised both Hyliga and Vita, and Leviga had to say that he hadn't felt Levi's breath at all before, and this level of hidden ability really looked a bit like when his personal strength was still at its peak.

"Allah?" Vita couldn't hide her surprise as she watched Levi get closer, and suddenly fell silent.

"I've heard that from Mistress Arian Hurd. Why not tell him now? At least he can avoid some surprises, you say? ”

"......" Vita was silent before sighing softly after a moment, "Okay then...... I don't think it's impossible to relax a little bit about this, although that's not what I'm here for......"

Vita began her story. Her tone was very steady, and Heliga listened carefully to the specific story, starting with the empire a hundred years ago.

At that time, the empire was in the stage of war for the throne of several princes, in addition to Delaikels, who later dominated the world and shocked the continent, there was also a prince's name that often appeared in various works of later generations. Of course, compared to the wise and martial emperor, this person's reputation is a bit bad. And the reason why he went down in history was because of his ironic name, the Puppet Emperor.

In the first half of his life as emperor, Erebonia was rich and powerful, and it was a glorious dynasty that was rare in the history of the empire. However, in the later part of his reign, due to the strong aristocracy of the empire at that time, the emperor did not appoint an orthodox heir to the throne, which led to the eventual division of the country in the emperor's later years, when his control declined. Those princes each have their own big families as support, and they naturally don't want others to become emperors, which violates their interests, so when the old emperor died suddenly in the 950th year of the Qiyao calendar, the moment he died in the world, many princes around the empire raised their banners and declared themselves to be the legitimate heirs of the Erebonian Empire. The battle for the throne, known as the Battle of the Lions, began with the event that gradually evolved into a full-scale war within the empire.

Among them, his fourth son, Otellus Lezeanore, was the most eye-catching in the early days of the war. He was the first to enter the imperial capital, and relying on the forces that had been prepared in advance, he controlled the surrounding area of the imperial capital at that time, most of the Kruchen and half of Sasharante, and declared himself the only successor of the emperor. However, such Ortellus was still defeated by the later prince Dreikels, and while Dreicel was regarded as the Great Emperor, Ortellus was also saddled with the notoriety of a puppet emperor and was spurned.

This is the version of the story that is widely circulated among the people in a general sense. But Heiliga knew that Vita was definitely not just telling a simple historical story, and there must be something hidden behind the matter.

"The record of Ottrus Emperor in the history books is that he eventually died due to the loss of the throne and the loss of his heart...... But in reality, it is equivalent to Prince Drakells killing him with his own hands. Vita said softly.

"It's not surprising either...... I didn't have the idealism of most people, and for me, he was already emperor at that time, and from a realistic point of view, it was normal to get rid of a political opponent in this way. Heliga didn't frown.

"yes...... But in fact, that was not the emperor's will. In fact, Emperor Drakells the Great at that time originally wanted to spare his life and let him spend his life in prison......"

"However, something unexpected happened. The so-called Pseudo-Emperor Otlus was actually the initiator of the Scarlet Rider at that time. Lévi added to Vita's explanation, "By the time Lord Arian Heard and Emperor Drakells succeeded in defeating the already insane Puppet Emperor, he had already died in the Riders. ”

"Wait...... Let's not talk about the problem of scarlet. Heliga suddenly remembered a question, "If Ottrus has actually died in the Rider God a long time ago, then the Rider God should stop moving...... Could it be that there is any difference between the scarlet riding gods? ”

"Your senses are really sharp...... Yes, compared to other riding gods, Scarlet is indeed a little different. Vita sighed, "Earlier before the Battle of the Lion, there was a Dark Dragon incident in the Imperial Capital, and Heimdall was reduced to ruins...... Later, the dragon was killed by the Emperor Hector I at the time using the Scarlet Rider Testrosa, but the rider himself was completely tainted by the Dark Dragon's magical energy and became like that...... If it doesn't have an activator, it will act on its own under the power of magical energy, and its power will far exceed that of the average rider. After they defeated it, they did not choose to destroy it, but placed it somewhere underground in the imperial capital and sealed it. ”

"So...... Is the purpose of the Lord of Kane the Scarlet Rider God? Heliga thought about it, a little incredulous.

"Hmm...... That's what he's for. Although he promised me well verbally, that he would not use the crooked idea of that evil weapon, I could see that that person's obsession with Scarlet was not so simple. ”

"Why?" Heliga continued to be puzzled, but he always felt that he vaguely understood something, "Could it be because he has something to do with that Otrusdi?" ”

"That's right. The current Duke of Kane, a direct descendant of the Ottrus Emperor, managed to escape from the imperial capital by blending in with the flow of ordinary people before the final battle with Drekels. Since then, successive emperors have not been without suspicions, but first, there is no evidence, and second, the Kane family has gradually become one of the top nobles in the empire, so the matter is not closed. In fact, Kane himself never gave up on this, and dreamed of overthrowing the country ruled by the descendants of Dlaikels, who had brought his ancestors infamy, and replacing it with a real victory. ”

"For this purpose, after enduring more than two hundred years, I finally came to him and saw hope? If that's the case, it's really a bit romantic. Heliga sarcastically said.

"yes...... It's just a pity that after my judgment, it is impossible for him to become a starter. Vita smiled too, "By all accounts, his qualifications are not enough. Except for Emma and me, neither my mother-in-law nor any other witch can act as his initiator, and with his ability, it is absolutely impossible to obtain the driving approval of the riding god through trials...... What's more, Scarlet was not an ordinary riding god who could communicate normally. ”

"So what else is there to worry about?"

"What I'm worried about is...... After all, he is also a descendant of the Arnor family. If he uses his bloodline to forcibly obtain the driving rights of the Riding God...... In fact, from what I just explained, you should also understand that a person like him is not so much controlling the Rider God as he is just awakening the Rider God and being dominated by it. If it really gets to that point, the outcome of the matter will be out of control. ”

"If Ryan and Chloe join forces, will they be able to beat that guy?" Heliga asked.

"If Rien can fight Chloe evenly in the battle of the Riders, there may be hope. It's just that at present, Li En's road to riding God is not enough at all. "And, when it comes to this, Chloe has something for me to pass on to him." ”

"What?"

"The armament of the riding god is also very important. It is not difficult to defeat the mechs through the captured mecha equipment, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat me, who is also suitable for the god of horsemanship. Take advantage of this opportunity to think about what weapons you should get. Vita mimicked Chloe's flirtatious tone," he said. ”

"Okay...... I'll pass it on to Lane. Although I probably have some eyebrows about this matter. Heliga nodded, "As for the other question you're worried about...... I guess since you've said it all, you shouldn't mind if I offer you a solution, right? Not gratuitous, of course. ”
