Chapter 18: Two or Three Things That Fear the Wasteland
The deep night sky is boundless, and the white lady and the blue child are playing quietly in the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe white moonlight shimmered in the clear waters of the Lake of Stars, and in the breeze of the leaves of the Kepa Sacred Tree, the Mantis Empress and the new Prime Minister whispered softly.
"My dear Prime Minister, you shouldn't refuse my gift again this time!" Like a mischievous little girl, the current Mantis Empress Colonia softly teased the tense guy in front of her.
"Nope! Before, I didn't understand the painstaking efforts of Your Majesty and the Elders, but now I think I understand the responsibilities of being a leader. ”
"Don't be inhibited, my Prime Minister. It's just me and you, please call me Colonia. Looking at the lover who was still so nervous in front of him, he laughed softly.
"Your will, Your Majesty." Voltés, who had now basically taken over the post of prime minister, learned of the extraordinary relationship between the empress and the prime minister, and the surprising unusualness of his new prime minister, after taking the oath in public.
For the Mantisman, his title is as glorious as the orc's surname. In the beginning, they were all nameless and only obtained after extraordinary achievements, and in this the two races can be said to be strikingly consistent.
To become Prime Minister is to prove loyalty to the Empress by giving up his old title, just as the previous Grand Prime Minister gave up his former title Skywalker. But Voltus is an outsider, and now he has two titles, he can give up the title of Immortal, but you dare to let him give up the title of Freelander handpicked by Ashaji! Aren't you afraid that you will be punished by God for committing such blasphemous acts?
As the empress of the praying mantis, in order to cultivate a new generation of descendants during her reign, she will reward the excellent males around her with the qualification of offspring. Just as the law of the jungle in nature is that only a very small number of people with indelible talents and merits can enter the eyes of the Empress, so the Empress's spouses may be as few as one or two, as many as five or six.
No matter how many spouses the Mantis Empress has, only one can be her eternal companion. That's her prime minister, because the mantis prime minister must be the empress's favorite person in addition to his better abilities. And when the old empress dies and the "inauguration ceremony" of the new empress is completed, the old prime minister must bury the old empress according to the sacred rites when there is a new heir.
But a situation like the former Prime Minister Areros who did not find a successor at the time of the old empress's death is as rare as the current empress who chose to favor only one person.
Her Majesty's current preference for the Immortals, although extremely unfair to others, has nothing to say, after all, no matter how meritorious you are, can you compare with the Chosen One gifted by the great immortal gods! As for the former Prime Minister Areros, in a special situation, he does not need to be buried like those predecessors, but can live directly to old age and death with the consent of Her Majesty the current Empress.
After the unofficial and light Skywalker Areros handed over the burden on his shoulders to the Immortals, he dragged the Great Elder Karaksi out to reminisce about the past without any discipline, and the mountains of documents and reports directly made Voltez, who took over on the first day, busy in a panic for a day and a night to complete these documents.
That old man did it on purpose! After the last document was approved, Voltès, who was completely tired of being a dog, said that he was really not suitable for clerical work, and he was busy all day before he even had time to read the update tips of the system, so His Majesty the Empress invited him here to talk about life.
"I've been keeping an eye on you, and I've known you since the thousand-mile rush you became famous, when I asked Lord Areros about you as the new Empress. The Lord said that he would be able to confirm that you were the best person to succeed him through this battle, and I was already familiar with the Empress's obligations, and I was curious about the person who might be my future partner. ”
"Sure enough, you have lived up to my expectations, and your research and use of the enemy's forces has not only helped our army to be invincible, but also made the life of our great mantis people better; The soldiers under his command were all versatile and well-versed in both civil and military affairs, which made the other lords very envious and jealous when they heard their names; In just 100 years, I have gone from a lowly soldier to a lord with countless soldiers, and I really can't find a more suitable person to be my prime minister than you! ”
"You are wrong, I still have a long way to go on the road to becoming the prime minister to assist you." After humbly giving a bow, Voltés looked up at the empress, and the lovely empress was so holy and beautiful in the hazy moonlight, I have to say that it was all the moon to blame, and this sentence is very reasonable.
"Well, come with me. This is the first time I've been out of the palace! I really want to see the beautiful night view of the sacred tree of Kepa. ”
"Your will!" The harmonious function of the Tunnel System is that the powerful Immortal begins to accompany his Empress on her journey through the Dreaded Wasteland. And in Karakshivis, a shocking news was coming out of the mouth of the Great Elder.
"You mean it really? Is it true that Mistress Arryros's health has really become so bad? ”
"That's right, Kolvan, the Supreme. This old bastard really has to compare me with everything, even death! Suddenly, he pulled me out of the ocean-like pile of papers, and said that he would leave the future to the young man. He is now an unofficial and has a light life, and he doesn't care that now is the critical moment for the handover of the old and the new! In the end, I had to tell me that I was fine, but when I returned home, I fell ill. That's crazy guy! He wants to follow in the footsteps of the Grand Empress Kanona before me, and he really wants to be beautiful! Thinking of this, the Great Elder, who had always been steady, scolded directly.
"Great Elder, do you need to inform Her Majesty the Empress of this matter?"
"You hit a tree in your head while flying, didn't you? This is the most critical time in the relationship between Her Majesty and Freelander, and you want to disturb their interest at this time? And isn't that old bastard still dead, I've already sent someone to treat it. ”
"But the Great Elder, Lord Arryros's illness is even helpless for the imperial doctor who has just been sent, who else has this ability?" The Supreme asked suspiciously.
"You know that person, he is also one of the old friends of the current prime minister!"
"Could it be... Indulgers... Ters! That one... Almost... Put yourself... Poisoned... Guy! After receiving the Great Elder's affirmative answer, everyone said, "I'll wipe the Great Elder, are you sure you want to save people or let him die without a place to be buried!" An angry expression rushed out of the council chamber.
"These stinky boys! If I wasn't sure, I'd let Terles try it? Alas! Really... That kid is actually a buried genius, but fortunately Voltés recommended him to me at that time, otherwise there would not be the rapid development of hormone research now..."

"So the brothers and sisters in the northwest are at war with a strange creature called a troll?" Her Majesty suddenly noticed something interesting in Volters's debriefing.
"Yes, Your Majesty Colonia. Because of the obstruction of intelligence gathering, we have only now learned that our brother kingdom of Yaqui-Angela Empire has been at war with a group of trolls called Zandalar for a long time, and the two sides are still evenly matched. ”
"Oh! Is there a race that is not the same as our great mantis people? ”
"That's right, Your Majesty Colonia. The races known as trolls are widely spread and can survive in almost any environment. As far as I know, they now have a total of three countries, in addition to Zandala just now, there are also the Cuba Rush Empire and the Amani Empire. These empires are very powerful, on a par with our brothers and sisters. ”
"Oh, it looks like they've got a match! Can you, my dear Freelander, continue to tell me what you know? ”
"All you know is that they are a bunch of brutal beasts. It is mad to hear that they have the custom of eating living people alive in addition to sacrificing them to their false gods! In addition, they have a strange spell called voodoo in their hands, which has caused our brothers and sisters to lose dearly in battles with them. Knowing the ambition and power of trolls in the history of Warcraft, Voltes replied very cautiously and seriously.
"I see, so do we need to send someone to help?"
"No, Colonia! Not to mention the distance between us and our brother empire Yaki, how to climb over the towering Kunlai Mountains was a very serious problem at that time. Besides, even if we take the initiative to help, it is only unknown whether those brothers and sisters will appreciate it. What's more, the current empire still has to prepare for the end of the battle with the Mogu clan in the near future, and there is not much energy to participate in that war at all! The gushing Immortal was analyzing the results of this to his Empress, not noticing the Empress's growing smile of joy.
"Oh, I think I heard my prime minister call me by my name! This seems to be a bit transgressive! Volt's playful tone stunned Voltez, and then an extremely strong sense of crisis grew in his heart.
"Forgive me for my rudeness, Your Majesty the Great Empress!"
"You are indeed rude, Voltus the Immortal. But you're not only my prime minister but also my partner, so there are three punishments I have for you, do you accept them? ”
"Your will!" Like a prey in a trap, the cunning Empress began to reap her prey.
"First, only you can call me Kronia, and that's all you can call me, you know! Of course, you can also add words like 'dear' to it, secondly, no matter how busy you are with your daily business, you must come to the palace to report to me, and thirdly, between your hesitant character, me! The Great Mantis Empress Colonia has decided to bestow on you the Great Empress's Gift Ceremony tonight! ”
"It's... Is... Accidentally... Target... Surprise... Yes! Voltes, who had been completely messed up in the wind, followed Empress Colonia to the palace like a walking corpse.

"Supreme Korfan, what are you doing here with this group of people!" Narls, the arsonist, trembled and carried the newly developed sonic ray gun, and looked at the group of uninvited guests with a fierce face in front of him, and he forcibly summoned up the courage to question loudly.
"You're embarrassed to say it! Take a look at what you've done to Lord Aresus! ”
"Isn't the newly developed therapeutic hormone already healing Lord Arryros?" The approaching crowd made the arsonist Terres' desperate words a little hoarse.
"That's why we decided to clean you up, who told you to use Lord Areros as a test subject!"
"I... I... Warn... You guys! This gun... Target... Power... It's huge! And... The Supreme One... Korfan you... Be... Know... It's mine... Marksmanship, I... OK... Aim... You guys... The head... But... Hit... You guys... Target... Balls! Apparently the trembling threat was useless, and the screams of the poisoners echoed throughout Zanivis in the shadow of the fist.
