Chapter 169: Asking to See
In the Luna Palace, Ina was sitting on her knees in the hall on the top floor, waiting for Mia's instructions.
Just now, Ina came in a hurry and waited outside the door for a few hours, if it weren't for the fact that she could vaguely feel His Majesty Mia's breath, and also knew that Her Majesty Mia must have known that she was outside the door, she might not have been able to wait to go in. Fortunately, Her Majesty Mia did not forget her, and when it was getting dark, she finally opened the door of the Moon Temple in person.
Ina couldn't wait to tell what had just happened in Maine Square, and because she was both surprised and disgusted by Li Ling's performance, Ina spat and even added fuel to Li Ling's cruelty and contempt for the glory that Her Majesty had bestowed upon her.
"In the end, Li Ling is an outsider, and we don't know anything about him. Maybe he's from a distant continent, maybe he's from another world, maybe he's simply other evil beings disguised as us humans. Compared to Clara, who dares to challenge your authority, Li Ling is more worthy of our vigilance. Perhaps, we should send someone to assassinate him while he is now in a good mood......" Ina finally babbled on a bunch of her own suggestions.
Her Majesty Mia never said a word, just looked at her with a smile on her face, and did not blame its organizer, Ina, for the fact that there was so much turmoil in today's conference. After a while, Her Majesty seemed tired of her toss-and-over nagging, and closed her eyes gently.
Ina felt that her meaning was clear enough, and that her saliva had been wasted enough, and if she went any further, Her Majesty Mia would think that she was suspecting that she had something wrong with her intelligence, so she had to end with a concise nonsense sentence - as for how to deal with these outsiders, please let your Majesty decide!
Her Majesty Mia finally opened her eyes, and said with some reproach, but also with some doting: "Do you know what you lack compared to Clara?" Ina – my oldest child. ”
"Ambition!" Ina speculated boldly. But she immediately added: "But that's why she didn't die well!" ”
"Hehe, yours are right! But that's just the appearance, Ina. Actually, what I'm thinking about is - brains! Mia finished and laughed again.
Ina lowered her head a little embarrassed, but when she heard Her Highness Mia's laughter, she was full of joy and appreciation, so she relieved herself and opened her mouth to justify: "But she is dead, I am still alive, and I can continue to enjoy Your Majesty's favor." ”
"Yes Ina, Clara's cleverness is actually a kind of cleverness, and it is this cleverness that hurts her." Mia said slowly. "But there's no denying that her brain is much more flexible than yours."
Ina frowned, obviously unwilling to admit this fact, but she also knew that Mia was the matter, if she herself was not the first "child" of Her Majesty Mia, not the oldest and most faithful "child", I was afraid that Clara would have ridden on her head long ago.
Mia sensed Ina's displeasure, but she didn't care, but said honestly: "Do you remember, more than a hundred years ago, when you were a child, we and some scholars studied the flying machines under the palace! ”
"What do you mean?"
"That huge flying machine, enough to hold hundreds of people resting in it!"
"Yes!" Mia nodded.
"Could it be...... Could it be ......" Ina's mouth opened wider and wider. "Those so-called supporters come from what scholars call 'my distant homeland'!"
"That's probably it. Otherwise, if there were other humans in this world, why didn't we find out sooner? Also, they can understand our language. Is this just a coincidence? There are some small things that deserve our attention, but in general, it is very likely that they are the signals that the scholars have concocted to successfully transmit to that distant world. Then, these guys came over. ”
Ina's eyes rolled a few times, and her face slowly showed joy: "In this way, we can let those scholars, or those supporters, continue to signal to the world, let them send more people in, and then, we will have more young warriors to dominate." After all, although our fighters have been careful enough to avoid casualties, there are still some casualties from time to time. After all, if there are no casualties, it will be difficult for our fighters to grow. Ina said excitedly.
"That's a good suggestion, Ina!" Mia was appreciative, but Ina didn't have time to be happy, Mia said: "According to some news, when Clara first heard the news of an outsider's daughter, she had the same plan as you now, except that she wanted to summon more outsiders to strengthen her own power, not our entire royal city. ”
"Well, Your Majesty, Clara is indeed a little more planned than I am." Ina said angrily, not knowing why Her Majesty Mia kept hitting herself today.
"Phew!" Mia sighed. "Death, Ammon, who will search out my heart in all things, and do things according to my pleasure. The overly clever Clara is also dead, and now, I have only the loyal Ina, you must be hearty. ”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty Mia, if you have any orders, go straight!" Ina knew Mia was giving orders.
"Do your best to let Li Ling stand at the pinnacle of strength and glory!"
"What is this?" Ina didn't quite understand what Mia meant.
"I want him to grow quickly." Mia said.
"You want him to ...... Be your own child? "Ina finally got it." But Clara has already given him a guiding consciousness, and even though she's dead, the stakes are still great! There have been instances in the past where when the Guide's death makes it difficult for her 'children' to be guided by others, and even if they succeed in the end, it seems that their new master will be greatly weakened by this. ”
"This is not something you have to worry about, just do what I tell you to do!" Mia said one last word, and then said no more.
Ina wanted to ask something, but she immediately noticed that the connection between Mia and the only one she had seen had weakened a lot, and it seemed that Her Majesty Mia was no longer planning to talk to her more.
"It seems that my guess is correct. Her Majesty Mia intends to control Li Ling, then use him to control all the outsiders, and then use their loyalty and abilities to summon more human warriors......" Ina thought.
I looked at Mia, who was vague in the depths of the palace, and felt that she was like a god and demon, and she didn't move at all when she was still, but once she moved, it was ...... Yes - Mia and Clara's battle once again came to Ina's mind clearly - Thunderball!
The first thing Ina did after she went back was to have people keep an eye on Li Ling's every move, and then come back to report to him.
Of course, according to Her Majesty Mia's orders, whether in private or in the open, Ina emphasized that Li Ling's status was the same as that of Clara before, and no one was allowed to challenge his majesty.
……
Li Ling strode to Brun's mansion in the royal city, and without waiting for his command, the two older guards immediately saluted respectfully, and then hurriedly opened the gate and led Li Ling inside.
Li Ling felt the aura of the Awakened from the two guards. But he didn't care. Most of the prime-aged men in the entire royal city were awakened, and even more so the warriors and guards.
Seeing the scene inside the mansion, Li Ling suddenly became dumbfounded.
It used to be a sturdy gate with stone floors and high walls, a mixture of metal and wood, but when you enter, you can see a gently undulating green meadow. Unknown flowers and flying insects and animals roam freely inside. Some well-dressed girls were busy inside, removing some weeds and leveling the grass.
Li Ling once heard from Emon that the most valuable things in the Gaia King City were these girls. According to the rules of the royal city, when the women reached adulthood, they had to give birth to children one by one in order to create more warriors and laborers for the royal city. Only a person of high authority, such as Her Majesty Mia, could have the most fertile young girl to serve her.
But Her Majesty Mia never asked for that. And Ina and the other twelve princesses, in order to set an example, did not let a single woman serve them. Only Brun actually hid more than a dozen beautiful and graceful girls in his territory, which shows how willful and helpless Bren is. Who made her the only, biological child of Her Majesty Mia?
Li Ling thought as he walked towards the girl closest to him.
The girl is blonde and blue-haired, the jacket of the placket only covers the armpits, and the delicate leather skirt is also frugal in materials. Li Ling suddenly wanted to ask this girl a little whimsically, do people in this world wear underwear? But this thought only swirled in his heart, and he was immediately waved away, and he just asked with a straight face: "Girl, can you take me to meet your Highness Brun?" ”
The girl crouched on the ground and concentrated on transplanting some grass into a blank field of dirt. Suddenly hearing Li Ling's question, he seemed to be startled, and the metal shovel in his hand also fell onto Daolin.
Li Ling smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I should have said hello earlier." ”
When the girl saw Li Ling's appearance, she looked up and down a few times in surprise before she said without humility or arrogance: "You are an outsider?" What is your name, and what do you want to see His Highness Buren? ”
"There's something personal!?" Li Ling said vaguely.
"That's not good, I have to tell His Highness Brun what you are coming for, and then His Highness Brun will decide whether to see you or not! Do you know? Outsiders! ”
"My name is Li Ling!" The girl's repeated call of 'outsider' made Li Ling feel a little harsh, and she couldn't help but raise her voice. "It's enough for you to tell her that my name is Li Ling!"
"But ......"
"Go ahead, if she has any grievances, I'll take it for you!"
"Okay!" The girl looked at Li Ling with some suspicion, but after thinking about it, Li Ling was able to come here smoothly, and it was already clear that the guard in charge of identity verification had recognized the identity of this tall young Rao, and as a maid, she only needed to do a good job of communication. So the girl hurried to the bedchamber of His Highness Brun, a beautiful house on the hillside.
The girl knocked on the door and waited.
A tall man dressed as a warrior came and opened the door, and the girl did not know these so-called guards or soldiers, so she only said to Brun, "Your Highness Brun, there is a man named Li Ling at the bottom of the hill who asks to see you. ”
"See?! Watch your words, girl! Before His Highness could say anything, the able-bodied warrior reprimanded him loudly.
"He's just asking to see, can I still lie!" The girl said angrily. His Highness Brun has always treated these girls as sisters, and over time, these girls have also been tainted with the Lord's temper.
"That's the Commander's self-effacing words, but you should know how to respect him, understand?"
"You, who are you, who don't care if you are in command or not, why are you pointing fingers here!? His Royal Highness Brun hasn't spoken yet, what are you anxious about? The girl got angry and stamped her feet.
Brun, who had been silent, finally raised his head and said with some weakness: "Nan, this is Lord Utmund, one of Her Highness's favorite pioneer leaders. His words almost represent the meaning of Her Highness Ina, and even I can't disobey it! ”
"Lord Bren is too modest, I'm just defending the majesty of the commander." If it had been in the past, Urtmund would have been too excited to control himself. However, now he has clearly known the gap between himself and Rao as powerful as Li Ling. To him, this sentence seemed like a kind of sarcasm to him.
"Hmmm! You have a point, Li Ling is now the commander, and his status is no less than that of His Royal Highness Clara at the beginning. And, just like Her Royal Highness Ina, as Pitz's partner, Li Ling and I support each other......"
"Temple...... Your Highness, what are you? What Commander-in-Chief, what Pets Companion? Could it be that the man down the hill ......" the girl covered her mouth in surprise. I thought that His Highness Brun was finally going to become another male companion. If this is the case, will he be able to live freely here under the protection of Bren as before, and avoid becoming a tool for procreation?
"Yes, that man is now the commander of the Black Knights and my male companion. That is, from now on, you, me, and this mansion that belongs to me will obey his command! ”
The girl covered her mouth, unable to accept the fact that she felt as if Buren had been coerced by Utmund, but Bren seemed calm.
"Let's go, Your Highness Bren, it's not good to let the commander be hot for a long time. You understand what Her Highness and I mean, right? Utmund glanced at the disgraced girl, and thought to himself that Her Highness Ina was indeed far-sighted, and actually knew that Bren had extraordinary feelings for her maids.
Bren nodded and said weakly, "Lead the way." ”
