Chapter 63: Archduke Rosen's Wrath
Rosen took a deep breath, and there was a hint of regret on his emaciated face. "You know that thirty years ago, in the Kingdom of West Asia, there were hundreds of dragon knights alone, and even more than twenty silver dragon riders, and the whole country was prosperous. Even the lowest level of civilians can still live and work in peace. ”
"But if you look at the present, you look at the southwest realm, where almost all the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the Brock family, and every big nobleman has no bottom line to plunder the rights of others and form a party for personal gain. ”
"And what about the next generation they have cultivated? When did they care about the life and death of an ordinary people? When did they care about the rise and fall of the kingdom? Everyone stretched their necks and climbed up, and even the Dragon Riding Hall and the Dragon Fighting Palace, which used to be alone, began to cling to the powerful. Do you think there is any hope for the kingdom if it is handed over to these people?"
Rosen took a deep breath: "Why has Denister basically begun to fade out of the power struggle in the kingdom in the past ten years? Because everything has changed, and when the group of people won thirty years ago and stood at the top of power, they will gradually forget the original intention of this choice at that time." ”
"Thirty years ago, George, Lyon, I, Tyron, and Brenato were just young people with dreams like you, and we were like brothers and sisters, imagining that one day if we were to run the kingdom, we would be able to do better than anyone else. It was with this dream in mind that we overthrew Louis III and established the regime of George IV, but what was the result?"
"Twelve years ago, when I saw one of Worf's sons in the Iron Castle who killed a blacksmith in public, just because his daughter fell in love with an ordinary commoner, and did not choose to return to the Northeast with him, I had doubts about my choice thirty years ago, and you know, in the end, the youngest son of the Worf family, only paid ten gold coins, and was exempted from all crimes. ”
"When the blacksmith's daughter hanged herself in her home, all the nobles of the entire Iron Castle were silent. Do you want to be like that?"
Saying the words that had been pressed in his heart for more than ten years, Grand Duke Rosen let out a sigh.
He didn't know why he was so out of shape in front of his son today, but it did make him feel much more relaxed.
"Then you choose to be silent?" asked Li Xiang.
"Silence?" Rosen smiled, and the smile was very uncomfortable, "I drafted four documents in a row for this matter, and in the end, do you know what the reply is?"
Grand Duke Lawson's brows twitched twice, and he was furious, "The resolution of the Imperial Council is that the blacksmith has no other family members, and no one will definitely mention this matter again, and for the sake of the Wolf family's face, no one can mention this matter again in the future." Since then, I have left the Iron Castle and have lived in Sunset City all year round, and will not go out unless ordered to do so by His Majesty. ”
"So you're desperate?" asked Li Xiang.
Rosen shook his head helplessly and said, "Then what else can I do? Whether it's George or Tyron, they were my best friends in the past, I can only take care of the north, don't let it corrupt so quickly like other places, that's all." ”
"Are you feeling better?" Li Xiang smiled and handed the water cup on the table to Lawson's hand.
Lawson nodded, sat down again, and took a few sips of water. "Anyway, these are old things, and it's a good thing that you can come out on your own now and jump out of that smoky circle. ”
"I suddenly felt that I was proud to have a father like you. Li Xiang suddenly said with a smile.
Lawson was stunned for a moment, and the light in his eyes suddenly became more and more abundant.
"You stinky boy knows a ball. Finally, it turned into a sigh.
Li Xiang naturally can't empathize, but as a five-good young man in the new era, this does not hinder his judgment.
"However, it seems that several families are targeting you now. Li Xiang asked.
Rosen sighed slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. Bullock and Rion have joined forces to control the entire council. Anyway, I don't care who has the final say, it's all a raccoon dog, and it can't change anything. ”
"Is there really no way to change it?"
Rosen shook his head and said, "As long as Lyon and the Brock family are united, it will be difficult for others to compete." Now even the Wolf family is beginning to waver. If you really can't help it in the end, at most, give them the position of the Grand Duke, and you can toss as much as you like. ”
"That's a bit of a negative idea. Although Rion is a golden dragon fighter, it does not mean that he is invincible. And with the strength of our eight Denister Dragon Knights, Brock can't be so easy to defeat us, right?"
Rosen naturally knows this better, but he has long been tired of these power struggles. "The current West Asia Kingdom, even if the other Grand Dukes have any ideas, there is basically no one who can defeat Lion in ten years, so ordinary combat power is meaningless at all. Even if whoever wins, who he wants to kill, no one can stop him. Your Excellency Lan Xin, you have also seen it, with his current strength, in front of Liyong, he may not even be able to block two moves. ”
"What if someone can check and balance Liyong?" Li Xiang said seriously.
Rosen turned his head abruptly and looked at his son: "If that's the case, maybe there's still a chance." ”
"Then I hope that Father, you will hold on a little longer. Li Xiang said with a smile.
"Can you find the dragon knight who will balance Lion?" Rosen felt that this matter still couldn't be a child's play.
"Perhaps, it's not too difficult. Li Xiang thought about it and came to his own conclusion. Lion is like a big mountain, pressing on the heads of all the dragon knights in the kingdom of West Asia, and everyone looks up, and it is a high mountain. But Li Xiang doesn't think so.
Although the Golden Dragon Knight is indeed unable to compete with him now, but with the system in hand, Li Xiang feels that as long as he is given enough time, he can do it.
You must know that thirty years ago, Lord Corey already had the strength close to Rion with the Silver Dragon Knight and the fifth layer of the Twelve Soul Breaking Spears.
Of course, at that time, Rion had just obtained the badge of the Golden Dragon Knight.
"How long do you think it will take?" Rosen's eyes suddenly had a glow called hope.
Li Xiang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Maybe a year and a half, maybe two or three years, it's hard for me to estimate myself." ”
Looking at his son's confident appearance, Rosen suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "You mean yourself?"
"That's right!"
"It can't be. Lawson said directly.
Li Xiang asked, "If it was a year ago, do you think I could become a dragon knight within a year?"
Rosen fell silent.
When you think about it, this seems like an impossible thing to happen, but the reality is right in front of you.
