Chapter 661: Misunderstanding
On December 27, FT8, there are three days left (thirty days of Ash's month), the old year is coming to an end, and the new year is about to begin.
There is no distinction between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar in this world, and the New Year's celebration in three days will be the grandest festival of the year, as the snow falls, the footsteps of pedestrians are more and more hurried, but most of the faces are full of joy of satisfaction and expectation, and the shops along the street have many more bright festival ribbons and promotional slogans, and the streets are already full of joyful atmosphere.
With the continuous improvement of living standards, as well as the massive job opportunities brought about by great prosperity and development, for the residents of Difende, as long as they are not lazy to wait for relief at home, life will naturally get better and better.
The development trend of backgammon, he makes everyone full of expectations for the future, working hard for a better future for themselves, and is full of gratitude to the royal family of Languo who brought this life.
And at this time, it is also the busiest time for the administrative department and the royal family of Languo.
Not only do we have to deal with a lot of work every year, but also the dispatch of winter grain and preparations for winter hunting are all major events that have a bearing on the rise or fall of the country, and meeting with representatives from all walks of life and participating in various activities are also requirements for stabilizing people's hearts.
The door of the royal family was open, the carriages in front of the door were constantly coming, the meeting room was holding the year-end reception and drinking party, the representatives of the masses came and went, and Renee's face, as the host, had been laughing for more than five hours due to excessive smiles, and she was already cramping with laughter.
But the visitors didn't care, they waved excitedly to the congenial Majesty, and rushed to bow their heads and kiss her fingertips.
The development of the past eight years is in the eyes of the people. The knight princess of that year was already a real Queen Majesty. You can see Her Majesty the Queen and the Princesses well-being. It also means that the Lan Kingdom will be more stable in the coming year, and the only worry is probably the side effects of Her Majesty's personal hobbies
"What if there are no descendants of the royal family? If something happens to Her Majesty Renee......"
It's still a little ridiculous to say, no one cared about this problem when the Lan Kingdom fell, but now, as the country's power rises step by step, a dangerous fact is in front of us - there is no one in the royal family.
Needless to say, how important a well-established heir is to a kingdom, although nominally Donglan is still a principality. But both in terms of map area and influence, it is an out-and-out empire, and the advantage of centralization is that the administrative efficiency is extremely high, but the disadvantage is that once something happens to the centralizer and the candidate does not keep up, it is the collapse of the entire empire.
However, this "knight princess" was probably raised as a boy since she was a child, and even some of her orientations were too masculine, and in the end, there was a deviation.
These are just small things, and the people will not be dissatisfied with Her Majesty Renee because of this. On the contrary, the fun of the streets. On the contrary, it increased her closeness to the people, but this little hobby directly led to the fact that Her Majesty has been married for several years and has no offspring.
Of course, if her imperial concubine is pregnant, I'm afraid that the first person to be dissatisfied will be this group of people who like to watch gossip, but after so many years, there has always been only Renee in the royal family, which makes people a little panicked.
If the royal family of the Lan Kingdom still has a branch bloodline, they can still find a way to find a nephew to succeed them, but in this situation, if Her Royal Highness Renee has no descendants for a long time, even if there is no accident, she will always age, once the throne is vacant, then the people in power below will not make trouble with the genius monster.
As for the righteous sons of other countries and the like? I'm sorry, the people of the Lan country are very serious about this, it must be this bloodline, they still remember the Lan battle banner and the previous kings who guarded themselves and the country in those years, and it is impossible to accept other bloodlines before the Lan royal family loses morality.
Therefore, the most embarrassing scene for Renee keeps happening, those representatives will always start talking about their sons and grandsons after saying a series of words to congratulate the New Year, and almost directly say "You hurry up and find a son" This extremely rude words, and those big nobles and domestic bigwigs directly began to introduce the achievements and experiences of their nephews and grandsons...... Since three years ago, this has been Renee's annual year, according to the average marriage age in the mainland, there are many people who get married at the age of fourteen, and Renee, who is now twenty-two or three, should indeed be the mother of two or three children.
"Is it forced to have a child after forced marriage? This queen is really miserable. ”
“…… Are you qualified to say this? Do you still have the face to say this? ”
The dead cat as a bound gear is happy, but I think she seems to have something to say.
"What's my business? Isn't it all made up by Cavins? ”
"Cavins? Have you forgotten, who is Renee's titular guardian knight? ”
Guardian Knight? In other words, the noble lady's lover knight is more suitable, does Renee still have a guardian knight? When she was in Oran, it seemed that she had found a female knight, and the rumors of Renee Lily began at that time.
"Who? Oh...... The time machine is there, Tinker Bell, it's time to set off for the Dinosaur Age adventure! ”
I finally remembered that in order to meddle in Arashi's internal affairs in the name of orthodoxy, and to block those rumors that there were not, I was indeed Renee's nominal guardian knight, that is, Renee's personal knight...... I kind of know what those complaining and angry looks are all about, so I'd better go find the time machine.
From this moment on, my original mentality of watching the excitement was gone, and I was very happy to be lively, but I was very heartburned when I saw the excitement and saw the fire.
"You've finally thought of it, woman of the eternal night...... Do you think that ordinary people still dare to pursue her in this name? It's all your fault that she can't get married. ”
"Nonsense, it's obviously Cavins' fault, isn't it that he used Renee's body to eat flower wine, which will cause those scandals?"
"Okay, fix it, it's the fault of your two faceless brothers, you bury the pit and fill the pit, specifically pit your granddaughter's goods, how are you going to make up for it? Everyone else's life will be ruined by your two brothers. ”
I hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up on finding a time machine....... I'd better go find any door.
In previous years, the New Year's greetings and receptions would soon be over, but this year, the situation is a little different. This year's visitors. None of them seem to want to go.
In the eyes of the visiting guests. A familiar figure sitting in the corner of the table reading a book is shocking.
"That one? Is that him? Is it finally back? ”
"I mean, the bounty was canceled, it turns out that His Majesty Renee has finally found him."
"Shhhh
These five big and three rough men, their voices are not small, how can I not hear them in the same hall, and hear these helpless words. I don't even know what to say.
"Qiaojia? Reward? When I was a runaway bear child? ”
"Save it, you're worse than the bear kid. At least the bear child doesn't know what he's doing, you know everything, and you still follow your own temperament. ”
Across the two tables, I kept pointing and whispering, but I didn't dare to come over and talk, as if I was afraid that I would slip away as soon as I spoke, it was ......
"It's good that Your Highness is back, and there is no need to worry about the descendants of Her Majesty Renee."
"Yes, the Lan royal family has a queen. I hope that the first child will be His Royal Highness the Prince, then everyone will be relieved. ”
"Huh. I didn't believe the rumors back then, but when I watched the opera, I knew it was true. ”
"Opera? Oh, that Princess Peach? I remember Her Royal Highness Renee playing Princess Peach, and Her Royal Highness Roland playing the Dragon Knight, and in the end, the Dragon Knight kidnapped the princess...... Oh! That's what it means. ”
Wait, there is too much information in this discourse, let me sort it out first....... I go, I can't explain it at all, there are too many bad points to spit out!
"Poof."
The dead cat rolled with a smile as always, and this guy didn't talk about his image at all after he became a cat.
I opened my mouth, intending to refute the rumors, but immediately shut up...... How can I refute the rumors that I played Princess Peach that time? It turns out that after so many years, the rumors have not disappeared, but have become more and more intense.
I kind of know why the two imperial concubines are so unkind to me, it turns out that in their hearts, I am a rival in love?
This glance peeked, sideways, and out of the corner of my eye, this too hot and not direct gaze made my scalp tingle, but I attended this event to calm people's hearts, to express the fact that "I am in the Northland, and I don't plan to go out to make trouble for the time being", and also to put a little pressure on those rats in the gutter who are about to move.
"Forget it, let's get down to business."
So, while others were happily talking, toasting, and chatting, I tried to pay attention to the documents in my hand, like a poor worm who had been playing for two months and only remembered that he hadn't started writing his summer homework on the last day of the summer vacation...... Ahem, I'm just making an analogy, I look like someone who forgot to write summer homework, yes, I never hand in summer homework, how can I write.
Since the day I arrived at Difende, I haven't read the documents and materials in my hands, there are too many things to deal with, too much homework to make up, but these things are still very important, and I can't be careless.
And what I have in my hand is the latest mainland war report, which is almost the hottest news recently.
"The battle between the old and new generations of Dharma gods, in the end, both sides were defeated, and the eternal night said that both sides were weak! …… These little things are getting more and more of a party. asked me to write a review, and even pulled me to be a banner. ”
Beye's undead legion was finally stopped, and it was not only Byer's ally Ancient Dragon, but also their "ally" the Archmage of the Mage Country.
“…… Did you really write, 'The Council of Truth was beaten by the Emperor of the Undead?' 'You really dare to write, the group of guys in the Cloud Tower must have been blown up. Those old antiques are hard to deal with. ”
"Nonsense, I'm not that stupid, what I'm saying is 'If you only look at the strength on paper, the Council of Truth is still worse than the Emperor of the Undead in terms of individual strength', how did it become 'The Emperor of the Eternal Night said that the archmages of the Council of Truth are all scum with combat power of five' That group of cosmic goblins with no conscience actually misinterpreted my words! Want me to be killed by those old antiques? ”
This battle report is from Baier's side, and the two warring parties are masters, and it's not too much of a title party, because of my special identity, that is, a member of the Truth Council of the Mage Country (nominal), and also a member of the Undead Emperor (retired), those little goblins came to me with the memory balls on the scene to comment, so I said a few words casually, it seems that my outdated explanation is really in big trouble.
“…… Are you new to your debut? Actually believe in the discipline of journalists? Do you want me to help you write a letter to the Old Antique Council to explain? Just a little draw is good. ”
"No, they're not stupid, whoever believes the title of that group of cosmic goblins is really stupid these days."
Because of their greedy nature and temperament that is everywhere as long as they make money, the shop-filled goblins get their new name, but as professional intelligence dealers, the title can be sensational, but the content is still real.
Looking at this battlefield record, I recalled the time I saw the battlefield engram two days ago.
The spreading undead scourge was finally stopped, and the way the masters of the Council of Truth played it was a forbidden spell on the head, and the forbidden spell of fire and earth directly rewrote the terrain of that area, and a new volcanic belt appeared there, and a lot of cannon fodder was cleaned up.
In a sense, those old antiques can be regarded as keeping up with the times, and the rogue way of several archmages teleporting into the battlefield with floating towers, and then letting the forbidden mages stand in the floating towers and chant incantations, waiting for the other party to enter the range, is not fundamentally different from the previous time I did.
And the way the undead emperors replied, it was the same ferocious blow of the instant forbidden spell, we don't know how they did it, that a super-large range of withering techniques, but in terms of area and lethality, it did meet the forbidden spell standard, it drained all the water of life in the plains, and turned all animals and humans into dried corpses.
The forbidden spell confrontation is only the opening, and the subsequent mage duel is the highlight, and there are seven truth-level mages and three primeval dragons from the side of Bayer and the country of mages, and it seems that they have calculated two to one.
All kinds of spells flew around on the battlefield, and all the ancient forbidden spells and secret legends became cabbage, many of which I couldn't identify, but at least I could see who lost and who won.
It can be seen that this fight is just a trial, and neither side is serious enough to do their best, after all, it is really stupid for the mage to fight hard before figuring out the area and hole cards that the opponent is good at.
As a result, as recorded, there were no dead on either side, and the wounded were not serious, that is, the area was probably about to recreate the map, and there were a bunch of volcanoes, lakes, pits, and ice fields, and the original map was obviously unusable.
And judging from the process and results of the fight, although they didn't take out their hole cards, those old antiques in the Council of Truth actually suffered losses, you know, among them are Heloise's teacher and Margaret's mentor, all of which are old antiques that I don't dare to provoke.
I casually threw the newspaper aside, this matter is just the beginning, the two sides will still fight, and when the opponent's hole cards are out, the mages will come up with the trump card of the kill, and compared to the strength of the two sides, the will to fight of the two sides is more questionable.
"Let those old fritters of the Council of Truth fight hard? For the sake of other countries? The undead emperors are also still testing the rebound of the main plane, and this scene is a bit grinding. ”
And just as I was pondering, a sudden voice interrupted my thoughts, and gave me the urge to run.
“…… Her Majesty Grina of the Kingdom of Sluwell has arrived at ......" (To be continued.) )
