Chapter 390: Xinjun and Chance Encounter
In a sense, the blood relationship of the royal family of a big country is often a bad debt, but from the current point of view, Bayer's is particularly bad.
Necrophile Prince, Rei. The Silk Lily Blood Clan, the Absolute Heir is half dead, the Crazy Witch Vegetative Man, I didn't expect that there is a "Sad Wind" fellow who found the Dragon Clan here, if someone says that this family and the kingdom have been cursed, whether others believe it or not, I absolutely believe it.
But the true heir to the throne has always been out of the eyes of the world, and the Grand Duke of Dragoon has always been regarded as a person who has nothing to do with the royal family, in a sense, it can only be said that Oros is too well arranged, and the intelligence work is not generally good.
"What!"
The most shocking thing on the scene was Helent herself, judging from his shocked face, it seemed that it was not a fake.
"I'm sorry, I haven't told you all this time, but you're my own nephew. Let's talk about specific things in private, now in front of distinguished guests, you can't let people see jokes. â
Well, it seems that this secrecy has been well concealed from me.
"Heh, if you want to take over the great cause in my hands, those fools who are stunned by power and wealth can't do it, I can also tell you the truth, you are not the only choice, even if it is my nephew, if it can't reach the level of inheriting the throne, I still won't entrust the crown to you."
"But judging from the current situation, whether it is your record in Rainy Night City, or the various ugliness exposed by those idiots who thought I was dying, you are the only choice. Now there's nothing wrong with telling you in advance. â
Listening to Oros's hearty laughter, I felt more and more sorry for those princes.
In fact, if we work backwards from the results, this choice is already a foreshadowing. The current situation in Bayer is unstable. Under the overall situation of the lords of all parties. Those who have the right to use the military power have the most right to speak, and with the progress of the battle in Rainy Night City, the biggest warlord in Bayer is now Helent herself.
As long as Helent has a good enough report card in Rainy Night City, even if he is not guaranteed by the old emperor, he is the strongest contender for the crown.
In a sense, the old emperor was raising Gu and letting a group of heirs fight each other like poisonous insects. Then choose the heir you admire the most.
I don't believe that the Emperor has only one relative, Helent, as a candidate, but apparently this is the one that the elder Oros likes the most.
Perhaps, it was precisely because he had always opposed the undead, and still insisted on putting state affairs first when fighting in the imperial family, and even did not hesitate to fight against the emperor for this, that he finally won the favor of the emperor.
And this kind of trouble, not only can select the best heir, but also let those ambitious careerists show their feet, since the lords who have long been dissatisfied after the emperor's death will definitely make a scene, it is better to take this sacrifice as a celebration of the new emperor's accession.
"I'm afraid. It's going to be a river of blood. â
This is my prediction, and this prediction is not low. After all, there are enough careerists and unlucky people who have hung up, and the more stable the position of the new emperor, it is better to kill them in advance than to wait for that group of guys to make a mess after the emperor's death.
And the old emperor explained that at this time at the conference table, we were two members of the royal family who held real power, and Bayer also took out the current emperor, the future emperor, and the supreme bishop as negotiations, which was already the highest level of talks, which showed the sincerity of the old emperor's expectation of reaching an agreement.
"Actually, I've always liked your quote from the Southern Sect 'This world belongs to mortals, and the gods who are high up are just hypocritical fanatics.'"
With this sentence as the beginning, we began the meeting, which became more and more important, and by the time we had barely reached an agreement and returned with a full load, a new sunrise had already appeared in the sky.
The harvest of the all-night talks was gratifying, in addition to the big plan that the old emperor had been preparing for almost ten years, as helpers and allies, we also got what we wanted most.
"Big plan? He is worthy of being the strongest conspirator in Bayer's three hundred years, and he really dares to think. But if this plan does succeed, I am afraid it would be right to call him the wisest king of the millennia. â
The scheming man was quite generous, and since I had promised to help him in his plans, he had given me a lot of concessions in other small ways.
"Two years of reserve grain in your province is enough to feed the entire territory of Donglan for five years. By the way, there are 3,000 blacksmiths and alchemists, and 200 scholars with job referrals......"
One condition after another was casually agreed by the old emperor, and the heritage of the old empire is also incomparable to an upstart like Orlan, just a few small giveaways in the eyes of the old emperor can save the barren Northland decades of struggle time, and when it comes to what we expect most, the other party did not hesitate.
"So, will you support the independence of the Seven Northern Kingdoms?"
"Of course, the north can rise and guard the borders of the entire human world. San Antonio's hand was also too far away. Besides, even if I don't agree to help, will they be able to keep the Seven Kingdoms of the Northlands that have already begun to unite? Rather than finally roll away, at least take the initiative to give in and save some face, and I'll write to Sloane. â
And to make the Duchy of Cazorla independent and let Antonio, who is also a superpower, lose a subordinate country, is what Bayer expects to see, as for some other additional payments, it will not be the Bayer royal family who will pay anyway, sacrificing the interests of some local nobles, and moderately weakening it is what the central royal family expects to see.
For us, the most important takeaway at the moment is not actually knocking out these aids, but the relationship with Helent that has already been laid, and perhaps the new Northland will build a solid alliance with the future prince of our country.
In fact, perhaps by accident or fate, under a series of coincidences, the meeting between the most outstanding next-generation leader of the Northland Lanmeng and the future emperor of Baier is destined to leave a heavy mark in history.
Of course, for me, it's a lot of money to be able to agree now, and then there's going to be a lot of money......
I made an appointment to visit the Southern Sect, and as soon as I left the door, I turned to Glena and said.
"Grena, remember to be careful with Baier and his emperor in the future, this guy laughs at me. It's rare that a tenth of the guys' words are true. And this hellish plan. Don't get involved. I'll just come alone, and if I fail, I'll run alone. Those agreements on paper are taken seriously, and it is good to be able to obtain them, but don't expect too much, it is difficult to say whether Helent's crown prince can be obtained. â
As soon as I went out, the ink on the signed agreement had not yet dried, and I made no secret of my distrust of the Bayer royal family, but I guess what Oros and Helent said at this time. Probably about the same.
"Well, there is no soil for private feelings between countries, and dealing with such a superpower can only talk about interests."
ââŚâŚ This is so familiar. â
"You said it yourself."
I nodded, this is indeed my personal accustomed tone, but from the fact that Grena noticed this, at least it means that she has studied hard in government affairs, which is much more reassuring than Renee.
And it seems that there are some things that Gelina hasn't figured out yet, and after hesitating for a moment, she still asked.
"Those princes are not all waste. The old emperor was not worried about such indulgence, allowing the lord and the prince to collude. Did any of the so many princes succeed in rebellion? I think there's a real chance of success. â
"I think if that happens, the guy will be happy to face his end. Anyway, it is Gu raising, if he raises a Gu King who surpasses Oros, the king of poisonous scorpions, he should be very happy that he has someone to follow, and the blue is better than the blue. â
Declined the old emperor's carriage, I need to sort out my thoughts during the walk, and take a look at the current situation in the royal capital.
We had no intention of returning to the assault boat on the outskirts of the city, and in the course of the negotiations I had just asked him for a private house, intended to be used as a temporary envoy to the northern powers at Bair, and the location was chosen not far from Evenly's.
Judging from the strong sense of otherworldliness in the crypt, I always feel that the reason why the raptor stays underground is not so simple, and if the conditions allow, I would like to ask more about Evenly's situation.
After all, I think the dragon seems to be much more credible than the cunning emperor, even though most of them are already wolves.
Walking on the main road of the palace district, the most obvious change is that the "assassins" have finally disappeared without a trace, and along the way, there are dragons gliding in the sky from time to time, and they have also been subjected to several patrols and guards and knights on the ground.
It seems that the order has been received, and the knights who are interrogating are very polite, and when they see that it is me, they let me go directly.
"What do you think, dead cat?"
"My lord, I think there is a big secret behind this, well, my lord! There must be something strange about this! â
At this moment, I was sure that I really shouldn't open part of the memory area to my demon pet, and the lower limit of the dead cat's discipline was getting lower and lower.
"Are you sure? Sad wind, it's coming......"
"I think it's a clear anomaly, it just means that they failed in the trap yesterday and that they're still trying to make a last-ditch effort. Well, those old guys are not so easy to catch, and there is a high probability of failure. â
It was about the same as I expected, but on the other hand, should I say that someone was invincible, and I was surprised that this casual threat was so effective that Heloise was obedient.
"Why are you an old undead lord, and you are so afraid of a young guy?"
"Recently, the Druid United Organization has collected evidence of his crimes, perhaps it should be called 'Beast Hunting' or 'Victim Records', which has been distributed to the druid, hunter, and ranger organizations in various countries, and I know that he is also committing crimes across borders and races while we are traveling around the world. Due to the large number of victims, the influence is too bad, and there are even druid victims, he has become a public enemy of the pan-natural camp, and it is said that even the 'Wind Chaser Group' who specializes in hunting him has appeared. ââ
"By the way, do you want to see that 'Hunting Record'? Storm Eagle received a copy two days ago, and the thick one can be used as a brick to knock people, if you read it, you probably will understand. â
"Ha, do you think I'm a fool, that kind of thing that is destined to be blind, do you think I'll touch it?"
In fact, it is true that the sad wind often disappears and appears suddenly, and I can guess what he probably did, but considering his personal ability and loyalty, he is quite good, and his actions have not triggered the law...... Yes, that's the point, there is no national legal order that prohibits such an act, "it is not a crime if the law does not order the prohibition to be prohibited", so from the legal point of view. It can still only be condemned in terms of morality and public order and good customs.
But our legal camp speaks of legal rules. The druids, who were already radical terrorist organizations, were never reasonable organizations. But even the always neutral hunters and ranger organizations have begun to want him, and I'm afraid this time the sad wind is really having fun.
Considering that it seemed like a lot of fun this time, I seriously considered how to break up the relationship once I was blocked by the druids.
"Pan-Nature Alliance, the last time I was wanted by the entire natural camp was the plague king on the natural disaster list, I didn't expect this kind of big man to appear under me, maybe this guy will be able to enter the top ten of the natural disaster one day and surpass me...... I should have learned from Oros. Are you happy that the blue is better than the blue? â
Otherwise, I'll just take the initiative to beat him up, and then send him out for a bounty, anyway, this guy is so ruthless, it's a big deal to divide him in half, maybe come a few more times, and others won't want him......
"Big Brother Sad Wind."
In his thoughts, he suddenly heard Grena's voice.
"Hmph, I know you have a good relationship with that guy, but don't plead for him......"
"I mean. Isn't that Big Brother Tragic Wind? â
Well, the black trench coat covers most of the body. The hood hat blocked the face of the half-dragon, and the black outfit looked extremely obscene and suspicious, but the black lizard tail with a pink bow revealed its true identity, if it wasn't for the palace area where "suspicious people walk all over the street", I'm afraid someone would have called the police.
At this time, he was surrounded by several knights, as if he was saying something.
ââŚâŚ Let's just not see it. It's really not possible, tomorrow through diplomatic channels to get people. â
But when I got closer, I realized that it wasn't the knight I expected. state, but .......
"Five hundred silver coins, it can't be lower, you look at this printing, this expression, this painting, absolutely not! It's all super high-quality. â
"Poof, Brother Sad Wind is peddling little yellow books."
ââŚâŚ Do you know what a little yellow book is? â
"There are a lot of books sold in Sulphur Mountain City...... Ah, I definitely don't have a collection of books for you and Uncle Adam, you don't fit at all. It's a complete blind match. â
Well, I've given up, and sure enough, I don't really have a normal person under me.
"That girl has a collection of books about you and 'Green', you and Snowhoof...... You're going to take care of it.,But now the city lord of Sulfur Mountain City himself (Annie) is watching.,It seems that they can't control it.,By the way,It's said that they've set a market festival to sell books every year.,Just like the C87 in your memory.,It's said that on last year's C12,Momo's hardcore book sold 13,000 copies.,A new record...... I won't say who she used as a model to create ZĂ o's book.,Anyway, you can probably guess.ă â
Heloise betrayed Glena and stabbed me in the heart, I don't want to guess at all!
In fact, when I left Sulphur Mountain City, as the most peaceful area of the underground world (artists in war-torn areas are easy to starve to death), coupled with the influence of the time-travelers for many years, the culture and art industry there have been extremely developed, but it seems that there is a bit of a surplus of development.
"These bastards, I ......"
Thinking about it this way, I really can't manage it, now the lord of Brimstone Mountain City is Anne, and the Law Church is the religious director, and I can't promulgate a document like "Three Hundred and Thirty Opinions on Regulating the Construction of the Spiritual Plane of Brimstone Mountain City", so I really can't manage it.
"I can't control Brimstone Mountain City, I can take care of this bastard in front of me!"
And when I walked over and saw me, the sad wind shook violently, and then picked up the book and was about to run, but as soon as the customer pulled it, he dropped the book on the ground and scattered all kinds of color pages on the ground.
With just one glance, I knew why he had run away, and then silently drew his sword.
"Tut-tut, Princess Peach's personal painting book, touched Momo's own hand, super limited edition gold edition, the painting is really good, I am also a little moved...... Hey, the rest of the content is very strange, isn't this the illustration of the victim on the 'Tragic Wind Crime Record'? Sad wind, do you cheat money and still bring missionaries? This saw half of it suddenly become this kind of thing, and the unchanging eunuch also became a change. State of it! That's ten times more than poisoning. â
At this time, in the face of Heloise's schadenfreude, the sad wind. There was no chance of an answer, and he was now trying to find a way to survive under some of the already green and violent Sword Masters.
"Boss, I'm sorry, didn't I want to increase sales and let the world understand my personal hobbies. I've changed a few cover girls, but you'd better use it! â
ââŚâŚ You dare to run! Eat my Evil Slash! (To be continued......)
