Five hundred and eighty-six The Empress's Grudge and the Phantom of the Goddess of Commerce
This sigh seems to contain too much of Li Qi's unfamiliar heart.
Seeing that Theresia's eyelashes were half-hidden, there was a trace of sadness on her face that she had rarely seen, and she suddenly thought that she had been on Heavenly Mountain yesterday.
Could it be that the connection between her and Kem's will has fluctuated and made her so human?
Theresia continued: "It's up to you to decide whether you want to come to Valentine or not. I hope that decision follows ...... The other identities have nothing to do with it, just Theresia and Richie. ”
Li Qi was stunned, Theresia at this time was really different!
He asked with some concern, "You...... Are you alright?"
Theresia was stunned, her eyes were slightly red, her head tilted to one side and said, "I'm fine, all right." ”
She exhaled a sigh and actually said of the old king: "Now that I think back to my father, he is actually a good father. Although he was more concerned about Catherine and cold to me, I knew that he actually loved me. What he hated was the blood curse, and because of his love for us, he had that hatred and went down the wrong path. ”
"Too strong love will inevitably have the same hatred, whether it is love or hate, going to the extreme will make people give up their position or even their beliefs and fall into madness. ”
"Theresia......
Richie felt that she was not adapted to the spirit state, so there was a slight problem with Kem's will, which caused her mortal heart to resurge, and the guilt of killing her father was stirring up.
He subconsciously wanted to work harder and pull her mortal heart back.
Apology is secondary, he feels that the empire is already there, and although Kem's problem has not been solved, her historical mission on the mortal side has been completed. If she continues to walk, she is not pushing history, but going to the opposite side of the historical process.
"Your father, who has been tormented by the curse of blood, is on the verge of crumbling his will, and you ...... Before", Li Qi decided to tell the truth: "Your aunt Irina, he killed by mistake." ”
"Yes, the eldest princess Irina has been alive, alive as Sir Famillia, and has been accompanying Catherine. So, your father won't blame you, he gets relief. ”
"I know", Theresia reacted flatly, and Li Qi was stunned at first, then laughed at himself. Sure enough, since Theresia attaches great importance to espionage, she naturally understands these things a long time ago.
"The moment I fought my father's sword, I knew it. At that time, I was no match for my father, and I would have been seriously injured if I didn't die. But my father suddenly gave up attacking, giving up defense, and frantically suppressing his strength. ”
Theresia's account was still calm, and she should have tasted it countless times: "It's just that I didn't want to believe it, thinking that it was Kem's power that frightened him." Later, when I learned the truth about the bloodline curse and my aunt's affairs, I gradually understood, and I gradually accepted the truth seriously. At that time, his will was sober for a moment, suppressed the manic will of his ancestors, and asked me to help him liberate. ”
She turned her head to look at Li Qi, with an unusual inquiry in her eyes: "So, you see, my father is distorted by fiery love, what about you, Li Qi, have you ever introspected that you are also being dominated by such love?"
How did this turn to me?
Richie showed sincere confusion, and before he could respond, Theresia added, "As I said, Lady Crimson is really special. In the Heavenly Mountain, in the realm of the dead, His relationship with you is always so ...... Particularly. Richie, you don't choose to follow His path because of love, do you?"
Love?
That second silly girl, love, this is really the biggest joke in several eras!
Li Qi thought weakly, trying to suppress the boiling thoughts, so as not to let Xiaohong sense it.
He kept a confused expression and asked, "She is a god, I am a mortal, I believe in her teachings, of course I have to love her, is there anything wrong with this?"
"The love I'm talking about is not the kind of love, the love of a man and a woman with a possessive desire", said Theresia, "I don't know if you're hiding it, or if you really don't understand, but in my eyes, you and your goddess are in that relationship." ”
She took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Although there were stories of people and gods falling in love in the dark ages, the results were all miserable. One should fear and revere the gods, not defile them with mortal love. If the gods allow mortals to do this, there can only be one reason. ”
"I don't want to discredit Lady Crimson, but as a substitute for Kem, I still have to tell you bluntly that He is using perverse means that no good god would use to bind your soul. ”
Li Qi is dumbfounded, you mean Xiaohong is seducing me?
Fortunately, Xiaohong should be busy with her business at this time, and he tried to suppress his perception and not let her hear it, otherwise that guy would have been furious.
Theresia continued: "Your love should be given to Catherine, to ...... Someone needs to be loved, not dedicated to the gods. ”
Li Qi questioned, "But what about your love? Isn't your mortal heart dedicated to Cam, then doesn't it also include mortal love?"
Theresia pursed her lips, and at that moment she seemed a little restless, as if she was about to curse.
Then her eyebrows stretched, and her proud aura spontaneously appeared: "I am with Kem, I am ...... Not the same. ”
Li Qi smiled: "I'm also a little ...... The spokesperson of the Crimson Lady. ”
Theresia raised her eyebrows and said in a natural tone, "Is Kem the same as your god?"
Well, in the basic position, the empress is extremely resolute.
Her tone changed to a low tone again: "It is precisely because I want to dedicate the mortal heart to Kem that I have abandoned what should not be in it, but now I ......"
She glared at Li Qi coldly: "Now I am bound by someone, and I don't have the posture of taking responsibility at all!"
Wait, Your Majesty, what are you singing about?
And what responsibility......
A vague thought had just arisen in Richie's mind, and Theresia said, "I mean, your affair with Catherine has never been resolved!
At this time, she seemed slightly flustered: "You don't have to come to Valentine, I also know the situation on your side." When I'm done with what I'm doing, and we're all free in a little while, you'll bring Catherine over, and her coronation has not yet taken place. ”
After a pause, he added: "At that time, I will give you an explanation, and you should be satisfied." ”
At the end of the communication, Li Qi rubbed his forehead, and couldn't understand what Terecia was trying to say to him on this call.
If you think about it carefully, it should be that her mortal heart has been disturbed, which is why she is so messy.
Li Qi stopped thinking about it and continued to draw, at least Theresia gave him good news.
Valentine Shield Castle, in the palace study, Theresia slapped the crystal ball and said angrily: "That bastard!
Then she slumped in her seat: "Okay it's my problem, I'm ...... I wanted to talk to him about it. ”
After staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, she sighed, "It seems that yesterday's events affected me, but this is not good." ”
"But just let him stay away from me...... No, far from order, he's going to be my ...... after all."
"No, it's secondary, and more importantly, Catherine. ”
"I have to do something, just for Catherine, and I can't let him go down the wrong path. ”
"Now let's lend a hand......"
With her thoughts in order, Theresia stroked the angel statue on her desk and summoned someone.
A moment later, the half-body projection of the little dragon girl appeared on another crystal ball, which had already been smashed just now.
"Your Majesty, I'm also helpless, this is a request of the clan, if I violate the ban of the commercial church, my father will not be able to eat good fruit. If it weren't for His Majesty's pity on me and handing over a lot of the national debt to me, my father would have arrested me back to the Dragon Domain and let someone else take over. ”
Xiaolongnu said very aggrievedly: "Originally, my business with Li Qi was doing well, how could it become like this? Speaking of which, it is the fault of the goddess Li Qi, who let him make trouble in Heavenly Mountain." Regardless of whether the gods are good or evil, they must abide by the commercial law of equivalent exchange, which has been a law since ancient times. ”
"Lady Crimson's doctrine is to free the slaves," Teresia sighed, "this god is a troublemaker, and I can't figure out how he can be a good god." ”
She perked up again: "But the ban of the commercial church clearly disrupts the order of mortal society, and I cannot accept it. I've talked to people from the Chamber of Commerce, and they say that the oracle came from the Dragon Domain, and I want to know, who should I talk to about this?"
Her tone became a little stern: "Only now did I find out that Her Majesty, the goddess of commerce, hid her head and tail, and did not leave any contact information on the main plane. Kem Will tells me that this has been the case for centuries, and that the Mercantile Church and you dragons are almost one and the same. Don't tell me, the goddess of commerce is just a front for you dragons. ”
"How could this be!?"
The little dragon girl waved her hand: "Our Dragon Domain only has a very close cooperation with the goddess of commerce, how can I, a hybrid who can't even change into a dragon......, know the specific situation?"
She blinked her eyes for a while, and said timidly, "Isn't the Red Dragon Princess, who is guarding Your Majesty, closer to the power core of the Dragon Domain?"
"You prepare the supplies first, it's what Li Qi's side urgently needs", Theresia said angrily: "I know that you are not in a hurry when something happens to Li Qi's side, are you worthy of his previous cultivation?"
"Who said I wasn't in a hurry", the little dragon girl jumped to her feet: "I'm still waiting for him to ride me, who knows what happened so much." ”
Theresia's eyes narrowed, and her tone became dangerous: "Ride you?"
"Uh-uh, I mean, waiting for him to provide consulting services to my venture capital firm", Xiaolongnu quickly explained: "It's business jargon, term!"
"Sure enough, it's a bastard", ending the communication with the little dragon girl, Theresia muttered: "It seems that Ms. Crimson really has the priesthood of love, that's why that guy Richie seduces people everywhere." If it's a boy, you have to educate him so that he doesn't become like his father. ”
"It was right not to tell him that," the empress thought hatefully, "this kind of love that is not from the heart of your heart, don't think of defiling me!"
Then the empress summoned the red dragon princess Sindsala, and the fiery red-haired girl said in a daze: "Goddess of commerce? ”
"Dragonland goblins?"
The empress was stunned: "Could it be that the goddess of commerce is really a god of goblins?"
"I don't know this", Sindessara shrugged, "as long as you follow the laws of business, there is no problem, that is the will of the goddess of business, there is no need to see him." ”
"It wasn't necessary before, but ......"
The Empress stopped halfway through her words, but the appearance of the Crimson Lady became necessary, which shows that the Crimson Lady and the Goddess of Commerce are in conflict in nature?
Sindsara retired, and the Empress fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she frowned and said, "Order is the foundation of everything, and the laws of business must also obey order." While the Crimson Lady is disrupting order, the Goddess of Commerce is using her laws against me...... No, Kem's will, this is unacceptable. ”
"Just like when a disaster occurs, hoarding is in line with the laws of business, but it is not in line with good morals, and it destroys the order of society and the country, so the laws of business must bow to the order. ”
"Now that the magician is integrated into the world, the temple of commerce has also arisen......"
The empress raised her eyebrows and sneered: "I see, I only cared about staring at Li Qi and Hathaway, but ignored the existence of this majesty. ”
At this time, the crystal ball projected another image, which was Medi.
Medi asked with concern, "Is Your Majesty okay?"
"Very well, thank you mentor for the reminder", Theresia replied gratefully, it wasn't Medi who came to explain her condition yesterday, she thought she was just dreaming.
Medi got down to business: "The latest offer from Ted Workshop is that the basic price of the new floating ship they developed is 1 million, weapons and protection are calculated separately, and the standard configuration is 2 million gold bushels. ”
"Two million!?"
Theresia's apricot eyes were round: "Why didn't Hathaway rob it? The floating ship she secretly sold to Belino was only 600,000 fully armed, don't think I don't know!"
Feeling a little uncomfortable with the empress being so emotional for a moment, Medi explained with a wry smile: "Those floating ships are all old, and they are not big, and she changed hands through intermediaries, so we can't get the handle." ”
"She knew that I was going to borrow 100 million, so she opened her mouth", Theresia sneered: "There are too many places to use this 100 million, how can it be used all on floating ships." I can't accept this price, what about the quotations of other workshops?"
Medi shook her head: "The other workshops are either about the same price as Hathaway, or they are cheap but they simply don't have the ability to manufacture in large quantities, and there are problems with the design. ”
Theresia said in a clear tone: "Just like the magic cannon and the protective enchantment, the guys from the Mage Federation are still gathered together and assigned each family to have an exclusive domain, right?"
She pondered for a moment, and then said resolutely: "Then restart the Royal Workshop project, and let the competent people selected by the mentor make us build the floating ship ourselves." ”
Medi frowned: "But the floating nuclear crystal and other materials ......"
"Let out the rumors", Theresia said proudly: "Let's just say that the situation on the Finn Continent is grim, the empire has the possibility of a full-scale war with other forces, and all materials, including floating nuclear crystals, will be included in the control list." All such materials, once found in the main plane, have the right to be directly requisitioned by the Empire. ”
She added: "In addition, in order to maintain law and order in the empire and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, all people and forces in the empire are not allowed to possess magic weapons such as magic cannons and floating ships without the permission of the empire. ”
After a pause, he added, "The second is not a rumor, but a law to be promulgated and enforced immediately." ”
Medi paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "It should be so." ”
A few hours later, in the magic tower of Tide Island in the Storm Islands, a beautiful woman with black hair and silver eyes slapped the crystal ball to pieces: "This Theresia dares to pinch my neck, it's the first time I think she's so hateful!"
