In the afternoon, Li Qi and his party arrived at the Golden Tree City, the royal capital of the Golden Oak Kingdom, and Romulos's subordinates, who were in charge of leading the way, repeatedly emphasized that the city had been renamed "Tudor Tower", and said that the word "Star" means "supreme", symbolizing the return of Tudor the Great's glory to the world.

Li Qi struggled to resist the urge to correct the other party, according to the senior's word habits, "Star" actually means "Start". I don't know where the emperor left this word and it was used by you, but fortunately you didn't add a "flower", otherwise the emperor would have become Japanese.

The traces of the battlefield had not yet been cleared, and the oak forests of the hills around the valley had been swept away, and the ruins of the city were seen through the gates that looked like they had been knocked out of a huge gap by giants.

The leader said with some embarrassment: "This place will soon be restored...... No, it will be more magnificent!"

Li Qi nodded and didn't speak, in order to have a place to stay before he arrived, the Romrose guy was really hard.

Look at the ruined city, and look back at Karin, the guy still has his mouth on the ground, but instead of chewing bamboo shoots, he eats the local specialty acorn.

Looking at Karin carefully, sitting on Ryoma's side, her two slender and toned legs kicked happily and gently, after all, the master's mouth was very happy. The long black and white hair was tied into two bundles into a ponytail and hung down on his shoulders, and the original bewitching became cute and cute because his eyes were out of focus in a state of distraction, and Li Qi couldn't help but wander in a trance.

Being stared at by Li Qi like this, Karin suddenly reacted: "Your eyes are full of prostate power, Li Qi, you're finished, I'm going to tell Aurora that you are mentally cheating!"

So it doesn't matter if you cheat physically?

Li Qi smiled: "Don't stink and be beautiful, I can't cheat on your body with a guy who will transform at any time, let alone mentally." ”

He sighed slowly: "I was thinking, the power of the heroic historical view of this world is really powerful, maybe we met somewhere before the floating boat met." ”

"Of course I was still human at that time, so I don't know what form you are, rabbit?

With a flash of black and white brilliance, Karin jumped back to her Ryoma, licked her teeth, and said, "It's been a long time since I've done that thing that only the two of us can do, don't you miss it very much." ”

With the increasing number of Crimson clerics and their higher and higher levels, as well as the development of slime medical technology, Karin no longer needs to donate blood often, and only occasionally goes to the research institute to draw a tube of blood for research, so Karin rarely patronizes the humanoid mobile blood bank of Richie, but it doesn't mean that she has forgotten Richie's use.

Speaking of the past, Li Qi misses it even more, especially the earlier time with Romrose.

In the morning, Aurora confirmed that it was Theresia who had done it, and to his surprise, the memory that didn't seem to belong to him came back to his mind.

"We were very unhappy that day that we were being troubled by the natives of Echo, and I suggested that we should catch the little guy and tease him, and neither Theresia nor Sylvie objected. ”

Aurora recalled the scene of that day, which made Li Qi sweat secretly: "But when you appeared, the blonde hair also appeared, and he looked like a flower messenger. At that time, we all knew that blonde hair was local, and the accent was very different. Theresia was very upset and said, "That guy ...... I mean you, why are you so close to the Fragrance Man, she wants to punish you on behalf of the kingdom. ”

Sylvie was about to do something and Theresia stopped her, saying she was coming herself. But she was a priest who couldn't slash the Holy Light, so she had to use the Wind Blade Ring she carried with her. It was a gift her mother had received when she and Catherine were pregnant, and it was a toy. ”

"Theresia was still very human at that time, and it was really nostalgic. Don't look at her always quiet and dignified, just to see how Sylvie and I drop our jaws, she will deliberately play some pranks. ”

"She was worried that she would really hurt you, so she aimed for a while before firing the Wind Blade, but she didn't expect the blonde ghost to be one step behind you. ”

"So the wind blade, which was supposed to only pump on your ass, landed on the blonde butt and cut his pants to shreds......"

"At that time, the three of us watched the blonde hair covering her ass and screaming, and we flashed immediately. After a while, Theresia was worried that she had really hurt someone, and she had to come back to see it. I saw a pair of torn pants on the ground, and you were gone. ”

At that time, both Li Qi and Romrose thought that someone had plotted against them, so they ran away, how dare they stay where they are. Then Richie gave the cloak to Romrose to cover his ugliness, who knew that the wind blade also had a delayed bleeding DEBUFF, which made Richie laugh again.

In other words, when everyone was still a teenager, Theresia used a hand on Richie, and Romrose blocked the knife, which made Richie have to sigh at the smallness of the world.

Listening to Li Qi's emotion, Karin said disdainfully: "According to what you say, when Comrade Desheng made a generous statement on the stage when he was a freshman, Boss Kaishen didn't even have the identity of a representative, and shrank in the corner and cried silently, although he didn't talk about it, he could be regarded as having met." More than 20 years later, when they were negotiating, they must have lamented that the world was too small, is this also a heroic view of history?"

Li Qi sighed: "Wait, did you eat books as bamboo shoots when you were studying history?

Karin retorted disdainfully: "I'm talking about the big one of Kimdi, not the big one of Khidi! Comrade Cardinal, your knowledge of the history of the revolution in another world is seriously not up to the mark!"

"I ...... Well, I still need to step up my studies", Richie conceded defeat.

After breaking with Karin, Li Qi slightly broke free of the powerlessness of being involved in fate, and turned his mind to business.

Romroth has taken back the place where the Emperor started and changed his name, and he must have used this as a starting point to start his grand cause.

Compared to the Mad King's entanglement in the fragrance, the vast territory of Sifern should be his stage. If you really want to keep an eye on Ika, you have to at least wait until Sifern is all in his pocket and has enough capital before turning back.

How do you convince Romulus to take action against the Mad King?

And there is also an uncertain factor, and that is the attitude of the Mad King. If the Mad King doesn't care about it, it's certainly good to be on the bar with Romros, but looking at that guy's attitude towards the Holy Light Castle, at least at the level of militaristic strategy, he is not a madman. If the purpose is only to be incense, there is no reason to be hostile to Romrose.

It's really hard......

Richie's heart grew heavier and heavier, and it wasn't until he came to the half-destroyed palace that Romrose came out to greet him in a gorgeous military uniform. This time, I didn't see the black dragon again, and Karin, who was clattering her knuckles, was disappointed.

After the two sides informed each other, Romulos said apologetically to Rich: "You are still in too much of a hurry, my house has not been cleaned up yet, so I have to deign you to live in a military tent." ”

Li Qi didn't bother to say hello, and went straight to the point: "Carrying someone's trust, I have to be in a hurry." ”

Romrose's kind expression retracted, making Richie's heart chuckle.

Dude, you won't just wave your hand and say sorry I won't follow, and send me back, right?

If this attitude is really not finished with you, why didn't you directly express your attitude yesterday?

Luckily, Romulus said, "Come with me somewhere......"

The two rode around the palace on a dragon horse and came to what looked like a royal garden. Up close, it looks more like a sinkhole. The diameter is estimated to be more than two hundred meters, the depth is at least one hundred meters, and there are countless small craters that seem to lead directly to the underground world, and it is impossible to see at all.

This is certainly not the result of the previous battle, looking at the lush moss vines, I am afraid that this look has been like this for thousands of years.

"This is the Imperial Golden Oak...... of the remains. ”

Romulus looked up at the sky, as if looking at something magnificent miracle that was supposed to exist.

This term awakened the memory of Li Qi, it turned out that the Imperial Golden Oak was planted here, and it really looked like a small world tree.

Legend has it that when Tudor the Great founded his empire, he planted the seeds of oak trees that he had found from nowhere in the place where he was first knighted. Within a few years, this oak tree soared into the sky, just like the World Tree of the Elven Age.

"The emperor has reigned for more than twenty years, he disappeared suddenly, no one has ever found his body, as if the whole person suddenly evaporated. After he left, the golden oak withered until it collapsed. The heir who succeeded to the throne felt that this tree must be connected with the fate of the emperor, and thus confirmed that the emperor had fallen, so he set up a crown mound for him here. ”

"The empire gradually decayed and fell, and the vassal took it for himself, and established the Kingdom of Golden Oak. Fearing the return of the Emperor's soul, the king dug up the dead oak roots and destroyed the tomb. But I'm sure there's still something left here. ”

Romrose didn't mention Rich's concerns, but Richie wasn't in a hurry, he could see that Romrose was pouring out his wishes, and the answer was in those words.

"Many people are saying that throughout the four eras of human history, a thousand years of kingdoms, and a hundred years of empires, this is an iron law that has never changed. Not only is there no thousand-year-old empire, but there is no renewed empire. ”

"Originally, I also thought that this was true, the kingdom, the empire, or something, including the king or the emperor, were just vague things, and they were not worth caring about. What we should be more concerned about is what real things we use to strive for peace, tranquility and happiness. ”

"But Theresia ...... Well, for your sake, I use the honorific title of Empress of Dawn. Just after defeating Valentine, the empire was established, and at that time I was also attacking Okato, obviously afraid that if I took Valentine and revived the Tudor Empire, she would be at a disadvantage. ”

Rumrose's words made Richie's heart weak, if you knew that I did it, would you still care about my face?

"At that time, many of my subordinates were shaken, and even ran several legends. I realized that the empire and the emperor are not vain, because others will become stronger when they get it. ”

Romulos stretched out his arms as if to hug the golden oak that it should have been: "I can feel something calling out to me here. I've been here since I met you yesterday, and I've been savoring the feeling, but I've been missing something. ”

He suddenly asked, "Do you know why I want to pursue the glory of the Great Emperor and find the power he left behind?"

"Uh...... After all, you are his descendant", Li Qi spread his hands and said uncertainly, "and the revival of the Tudor Empire does not contradict the peace, tranquility and happiness you seek, and it can even be said to be the best path." ”

"No, Richie," Romrose shook his head regretfully, "I thought you could understand it, it seems that only I really understand." ”

He sighed deeply: "I feel that the Great Emperor must have something undone, and he has left his strength in eternal tranquility, and he has stayed here, and possibly elsewhere, hoping that his descendants will continue his career." ”

Richie's heart was shocked, Xiaohong had told him that the Everbière who twisted Cam's will, and the grand underground building built under the incense, were all things that Tudor was preparing for.

Li Qi asked without moving: "What could it be?"

"I just don't know," Romrose said, "but I know that if I rebuild the empire, if I have enough power, I'll know at that time." And without solving that matter, there can be no true peace, tranquility and happiness. ”

He looked at Li Qi: "So, Li Qi, anything, I will think about it from this point of view." Whether it is friend or foe will also be judged from this perspective. Convince me, Richie, that it will be good for me to join forces with the Dawning Empress and be hostile to the Mad King. ”

If that's what it is, it's so simple.

Li Qi said: "Shouldn't the incense be the place where you should seek the answer?

"I've been to Okami, but I haven't gotten an answer, and the core is corrupted," Romulos said, "Sunny should have told you in detail, right? My right-hand man, one of my mentor's legends, has also disappeared, and only one escaped...... In short, she is not important. ”

Well, it turned out to be a little red pit, and I wanted to cover up the truth at the time, but it has become an obstacle now.

"Yes, I told you, but there may be many things that are not important in her opinion, so I haven't mentioned them to you", Li Qi hurriedly patched: "And the empress may also have some information related to the emperor, she only wants to solve the problem of Kem's will, and does not care about the emperor's affairs, you two just cooperate with each other." ”

"Then show sincerity," Romeros said, "it must be strong enough evidence not to flout my intellect." ”

Li Qi nodded: "Okay, I will contact Sunny and the Empress immediately to see if they can provide some useful information." ”

"Don't worry," Romrose pulled him, "You can try it too, that kind of soul fluttering, like there are countless dandelions holding you up, maybe you can feel it too." ”

"I don't have the surname Tuduo", Li Qi smiled bitterly, and his heart moved again: "You said you could feel it, but there was always something missing?"

"Yes," Romulos said distressedly, "I don't understand the point. ”

Li Qi said casually: "Haven't you tried to recognize your relatives with blood? Well, just get some blood out to prove that you are a blood descendant of Emperor Tudor." ”

Romrose laughed and said, "Do you believe in this kind of child-coaxing thing?

"I'm sure I don't believe it if it were anyone else, but Tudor the Great ......"

Li Qi was originally bored and talkative, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he really thinks that with the temperament of that senior, maybe he can really do this kind of thing.

Don't be cowardly......

Just walk away and never look back......

A thousand words are better than a stroke......

With such a code of conduct, isn't it logical to have a blood confession?

Compared to other soul certifications, isn't this the most direct and effective method?

Anyway, it's just some blood, and it's not your own blood......

"I feel like you're disrespectful to the Emperor," Romulus looked at Li Qi suspiciously, and thought he might as well try.

Cutting his palm and finding a random stone to wipe the blood on, Romulus wiped his hands and said, "Okay, at least I've confirmed that one more method doesn't work." ”

Li Qi was about to speak, when his feet shook suddenly.

He stared at Romulåth in horror, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the blood stained on the stone spurting a blazing light.

I'm really okay with this!?
