222 Theresia's choice
Elle didn't speak, she shook her head vigorously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She will cheer for her sister on the battlefield, but it does not mean that she will forgive her sister for killing her father.
Li Qi persuaded: "Ellie, I haven't seen her all the time, she will suspect that you are not here with me at all, or that I have done something to you." ”
Elle hesitated, but still sat on the edge of the bed, wrapping her fingers around.
Li Qi had no choice but to be direct: "I need you to meet her, this is a deal I made with her, in exchange for me not serving with her." ”
Aliten stood up and pulled Richie's sleeve: "Play ——!"
"You're the best!"
Li Qi couldn't help but hug Ellie, snapped it, and kissed her pink little face.
Ellie's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she shrank behind him, hugged her waist, and urged him with her little head.
The moment she entered the communication room, Ellie's footsteps became sluggish, and Li Qi almost dragged her in.
Patting Elle's hand around her waist, Richie said to Theresia, who was looking forward to the Prime Minister, "Elle is right behind me." ”
He took Ellie's hand and turned it sideways.
The feel changed instantly, and the fat little hands became tender and slender jade hands.
The holy light in front of her flowed, and Ellie turned into Catherine.
She held her head high, pursed her lips, and her expression was solemn, with an awe-inspiring posture like going to battle. Mirroring Theresia in the Book of Trade Winds gives Richie the illusion that Catherine is looking in the mirror.
"Ai ...... Catherine ......"
Theresia covered her mouth, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Terre...... Thea......"
Catherine responded with a clear articulation, but a strange rhythm.
Theresia didn't care that she called her by name, and whispered in disbelief: "Kem is on top, you ...... it"
"...... you talk"
Li Qi felt that the sisters should talk alone, they were a light bulb.
He was about to leave, but Catherine firmly held him back.
"Richie!
She hugged Li Qi's arms tightly with both hands, and a pair of soft peaks that were not as good as Aurora Weishuo, but had better elasticity, clamped the arms, making Li Qi suddenly lose the strength to lift his legs.
There was silence in the communication room for a while, and the sisters looked at each other, not knowing what kind of thoughts they were conveying.
I don't know how long it took, but Catherine spoke, "That's enough...... Right?"
Then she left, and only Li Qi was left in the communication room.
"You...... Very good......"
Despite the low resolution, it was clear at this time that Theresia's eyes were red.
"I'm relieved......"
Seeing that Theresia was about to turn off the communication, thinking back to her previous weirdness, Richie sighed secretly and decided to do her duty, the duty of her brother-in-law.
"What can you do? You can't do anything!"
Richie's inquiry was very sincere, but Theresia disliked him again: "Your magic guide gun, magic fire bomb, magic fire cannon, and even magic guide cannon are all very good, but this is only a trivial matter, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield does not depend on one or two weapons." ”
Wrong!
The more developed the productive forces, the more likely it is that a war will be decided by relying on only one or two weapons, or even by relying on only one or two weapons to decide whether a war can be fought or not.
Of course, Li Qi didn't have the kind heart to teach Theresia, he said more directly: "Even through the Book of Trade Winds, even I, I can see why Your Majesty is distressed, this kind of look will shake the hearts of the military." ”
"Is it so obvious?"
Theresia frowned, then sighed, "It seems that a decision must be made soon." ”
She said: "I am facing a difficult choice, whether to use me...... Some minor ...... In exchange for profits, or continue to regard such things as treasures, they have to face a more serious situation. I've asked Keim and He didn't give me an answer. ”
"Is it the magician of the Storm Islands who has put on conditions that are completely unacceptable to you?"
Richie first thought of the question, and in fact he had been wondering that this had not happened.
The magicians of the Storm Isles definitely want to get deeper into the continent and seek privileges on the continent. Not so much to restore the glory of the First Age Magical Empire, but to restore the dignity of being a transcendent class, and to be free from the old order, and to reap the benefits commensurate with power.
Theresia had already shown political vision in this regard, untying the magician. Sadly, however, she did not take the Storm Islands' demands any further, and made forward-looking plans and designs in this regard, in an effort to draw the mage into her camp.
If she doesn't face it, it doesn't mean that the magician won't make a request, but in this way, she loses the advantage of taking the initiative.
Theresia's vision and thinking have not yet grown to the level of a politician after all.
This is also understandable, after all, in Finn, faith determines extraordinary power, so that the manifestation of "interests" is far more complex than the earth world. If the two sides want to talk about cooperation, they must first talk about faith.
Although the mage is not as "godless" as the arcanist, his attitude towards the gods is still not respectful enough. This deep-rooted distinction, let alone Theresia, even if replaced by the founding emperor of the Tudot Empire, who is known for his scheming, it is difficult to open his mind to accept magicians.
Theresia frowned: "It seems that your opinion is worth looking forward to......"
"Your Majesty, I believe you should also realize that the war you have started is no longer simply a conflict between Erxiang and the Hadron Kingdom, nor is it an internal contradiction between the loyal gods and the Kem Church, but a prelude to the change of eras, a revolution. ”
Richie's words made Theresia's eyes flicker and she listened more intently.
So, you should take a hard look at your heart and determine what you really want. It depends on whether your goals, the mages and other forces that can be allies, whether they can coexist, and what kind of common interests and beliefs they have. Only by drawing such a line can we distinguish between real friend and foe. What is above this line is what you have to stick to, and below the line, it can be traded. ”
For some reason, Theresia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said with some stumbling, "What if...... Is it something that is a mortal that should also be measured on such a line?"
"Your Majesty is with Kem, and you should not consider yourself mortal," replied Richie in passing, adding that politicians are another creature, and if you want to follow this path, you must be mentally prepared to say goodbye to humanity.
"Hehe......"
Theresia smiled nervously: "In other words, even if it is something I hate, as long as I need to, I have to do it?"
"What is it that makes His Majesty so insistent?"
Li Qi was a little puzzled: "I believe that some of the requests made by the magician will be made by others." ”
Theresia paused for a moment and said self-deprecatingly, "Indeed, everyone thinks so. ”
Here's your chance!
Richie felt that it was time for Theresia to face up to her power. I believe that she has also been mentally prepared, and maybe she has already had the idea of letting herself balance the magician.
It seems that the situation is a little similar to the end of last year, they all want to take advantage of the situation, want to hug their thighs, and want to let the Crimson Church enter the "system", but the final result must be 412.
Now that the revolutionary theory has been perfected, the Epsilon has gathered its fighting power, and the social model has figured out its core structure, it's time to make a name for itself on Finn's stage!
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think so too. ”
Richie's words stunned Theresia, and the flush on her cheeks spread rapidly.
She whispered, "If it were you, maybe I would...... Consider. ”
Li Qi immersed himself in his own thoughts, did not think much, and continued: "If Your Majesty approves of my Lord's Crimson Doctrine and accepts, at least not against the belief in the emancipation of slaves, I and the Crimson Church will definitely devote ourselves to Your Majesty's cause." Instead of doing something for Your Majesty in my personal capacity, as I am now, I can only do something to improve weapons and promote propaganda for Your Majesty. ”
Theresia averted her eyes, her breathing a little disordered, and said, "Indeed, this is something worth considering. ”
Her heart is upset, she's hesitating!
Li Qi felt that he should increase his strength and put on a strong medicine: "As for what His Majesty said, no matter how disgusted you are, haven't you already ...... In White Jade City, you did it, in Conrad City, you did it, in the King's Hall, you did it. ”
"Richie ——!"
The scar was abruptly revealed, and Theresia glared at Richie with a chilling gaze. If it weren't for the Book of Trade Winds, the power that flowed from his eyes alone seemed to be able to divide Li Qi's body.
"You just saw that...... Catherine, she's fine", Richie looked at her without showing weakness.
"You—How dare you ......"
Tears slid down the corners of Theresia's eyes, but her expression was still one that wanted to break Richie to pieces.
"That time in the palace of the king, it was not your fault, you and His Majesty the king, there was nothing wrong", Li Qi said softly.
As he spoke, he sighed deeply in his heart,
When Theresia really no longer thinks it's her fault, the last trace of mortal consciousness in her heart should also dissipate.
In the depths of my heart, another sigh also echoed lowly, it was the emotion of the goddess.
Theresia said bitterly, "Do you really, think I'm not wrong?"
Litchie looked up at Theresia, and at this moment, his heart swelled with the correct way to make the world a better place, the revolutionary road paved by Phine, Tina, Ellie, Karin, Aurora, and Rose Witch, as well as Tarrens, Stan, Gambitt, and Asuna with suffering and enlightenment, the three views of revolution created in the earth world, and the revolutionary faith with the goddess.
This power made him ignore Theresia's beauty, her identical face to Catherine, his own conscience as a mortal who did not want to lie, and the mercy of a man who believed that everything he did was to make the world a better place, and was willing to sacrifice everything, including his own strong girl who embarked on the road of no return.
His gaze was calm, and sincerity seemed to come from the soul: "Yes, you are not wrong, it was just a misunderstanding." ”
It's not a misunderstanding, it's a game between Lady Night and Kem, and you're acting as Kem's puppet, and you're very wrong.
Such a thought was pressed by him in the bottom of his heart.
Theresia looked at him for a long time, and after some time, she looked away.
Li Qi said again: "I can understand...... Your Majesty's feelings, Conrad City, the Royal Hall, and the White Jade City, your choices are all painful, and if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it. ”
Theresia lowered her eyes and whispered, "Only you dare to say that, everyone else ......"
Then she was stunned, it was really a familiar conversation.
After another moment of silence, Theresia regained her composure, and she said lightly, "So, no matter what choice I make, you can understand?"
"Yes", Li Qi said without hesitation, "You are with Kem, and your will is Kem's divine will." ”
"Then I know what to do", Theresia nodded, her gaze clear. Before closing the communication, he smiled slightly: "Thank you, Li Qi." ”
Back at the king's tent, Theresia hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees, shrunk back on the throne and pondered for a long time, and suddenly raised her voice: "Someone!"
There were slight ripples in the air, and a vague female voice said, "Please give your Majesty's orders." ”
"Order Sylvie, go back to Hadron to clear the remnants of the incense, 100,000 urgent, and set off immediately!"
With that, she took off a ring and threw it out, and the ring was in mid-air, and disappeared with the ripples.
Then she waved her hand, and the crystal ball on the table lit up.
Theresia's tone became extremely weak, and she said with a hint of annoyance: "Rolfon-Gazrien, I will be present at the inauguration ceremony in three days." ”
