Compared to the previous uproar when Li Ling was appointed as the commander of the black-armored knights, this time the square suddenly quieted down, and it seemed that every Rao brain couldn't turn around - an outsider, the captain of a team of dozens of people, could actually obtain such a respected status and a noble and beautiful woman at the same time, which was simply an insult and provocation for all the men in the royal city.

"What? Ina, this is my private matter, how can you? Bren suddenly jumped up and shouted, breaking the silence on the field.

"This is a gift from His Majesty Mia, and you should be happy about it." Ina turned her head and said as low as she could.

Li Ling was not so surprised this time, just smiled bitterly, and quietly looked at the people in the audience, watching their expressions slowly change from shock to anger and resentment. Even among the pioneer soldiers who obeyed Ina's words, there was a commotion. Several of the men who were exceptionally strong were waving their fists to express their displeasure. Instead, their prefect Uhtred was unusually calm. It's no wonder that the bruises on his face that were beaten by Li Ling have not completely dissipated yet.

However, Li Ling thought about it, maybe he was the only one who could stay awake in this big square. Others are either so-called Awakened Ones who are affected by the remnants of their minds, or some young people who don't know much about the secrets of the Awakened, or some coolies who are focused on the job at hand.

They didn't even know as much about the current situation of the people of Wangcheng as they did as outsiders. Of course, in addition to the factors that a few bystanders were clear, it was more that Clara told Li Ling many secrets that others could not imagine.

According to Clara's law, the children of the royal city are selected to join the ranks of the twelve princesses once they reach adulthood.

After that, these young people will be guided by different awakened ones according to their growth potential, and their temperaments will be changed little by little, and they will become closer and closer to their guides. It won't be long before the strength of these guided people will grow rapidly, and while they are more loyal to their master, they are also eager to guide some so-called "amateurs" who have not been implanted with "remnant souls" by other awakened people. It's not to cultivate their own power, but simply because they want to share their various emotions and feelings, to share them with someone who can understand them and be close to them. If they become the shadow of their own guide, they also have their own shadow.

Then, the strength of these awakened people who have their own shadows will increase exponentially, depending on the number of shadows and their experiences. According to the experience that everyone has summed up over the years, those who are always sharpened in battle and hovering on the edge of life and death can always grow more quickly.

Until one day, the original character of those powerful awakened people was almost wiped out, and they became the "shadows" of the guides who were completely loyal to themselves! It is the lifelong goal to obey his own "master".

However, this is just Clara's assumption. Just like she did, it was almost impossible to completely wipe out a Rao soul and completely turn it into another Rao shadow. Even Ina, the first shadow of Her Majesty Mia, and the most central and her Emmon, still have their own thoughts and emotions. And it is naturally even more difficult to turn a strong-willed awakened person like Clara into a shadow. Of course, the stronger the "shadow" is the stronger, and the more power it can feed back to their guides.

"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet! The guards around Ina shouted a few words, but they were completely drowned out by the noise of the crowd below

"Your Highness Ina, look ......" Several guards saw that the emotions of the crowd below were getting more and more excited, and they couldn't control it, so they hurriedly asked Ina for instructions.

Ina didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the scene below, seemingly very satisfied with the current state.

After a while, there was a sudden commotion below, and some angry men began to clash towards the high platform, despite the obstruction of the guards who maintained order around them.

"Your Highness Ina, hurry up and ask your pioneer warriors to help maintain order, if you continue like this, you don't know what kind of chaos will be caused by this!" A gray-haired official couldn't help but get up and kneel at Ina's feet.

"What are you anxious about, you must know that in addition to my pioneer team in the royal city, there is also a force that is not weaker than them in the slightest!"

"Your Highness's ......," the old man looked suspiciously at the crowd below. The crowd below had already begun to be chaotic, and some of the guards were even beaten to the ground by the excited crowd, and they rushed to the high platform. But in the lower left corner of the square, there was a large group of people in black costumes standing quietly, looking exceptionally calm. The old man shook his head again and again and said, "Your Majesty, Clara has been executed, who can easily mobilize those unruly guys now?" ”

"Bold." Ina scolded loudly. "Didn't you hear just now that Li Ling has been appointed as the commander of the Black Armor Knight? Are you questioning Mia's appointment? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The old man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed.

At this moment, Li Ling was sitting next to Bren, looking left and right for a while, looking like he had nothing to do with himself. But in his heart, Li Ling cursed the treacherous and cunning Ina countless times. If yesterday's incident hadn't happened, Li Ling might still be grateful to Ina for her arrangement, and even felt that with his current status, he could seek a good living condition for his companions.

But now, how could Li Ling not know that Her Royal Highness Ina was deliberately manipulating herself. He was almost certain that the two decisions that Ina had just announced were from Mia's will. But it must have been Ina's own idea to make such a high-profile announcement at a convention attended by almost everyone, and to deliberately stir up all the resentment.

And the reason, Li Ling also guessed a rough idea. First of all, Ina has long become one of the most faithful shadows of Her Majesty Mia, and she will definitely do her best to do everything that Her Majesty Mia tells her. But at the same time, before she completely erases her personality, Ina still has her own selfishness, and she hopes that while serving Her Majesty Mia wholeheartedly, she can also be squeezed out by others, so that she can become the only and powerful shadow of Her Majesty.

"Li Ling......" At this time, Bren, who had been lowering his head and not daring to say a word, quietly pulled Li Ling's sleeve. Have you already guessed it? Buren glanced at Li Ling, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

"A little bit!" Li Ling arrived casually, and when he saw Brun's shy appearance, he added: "I think the current lively scene is all the result of Ina's deliberate consequence!" ”

"Hmm." Bren nodded his head. "Actually...... I ...... "Bren doesn't know what to do." She had never had any man in mind. But now, she couldn't figure out if she was feeling like someone else was falling in love with the man in front of her—the feeling of just wanting to have him alone and be by his side all the time.

"I know Bren, I know your feelings." As soon as Brun's words were finished, Li Ling reached out and pressed it on the back of her hand.

"You know what I mean?" Brun raised her head excitedly to look at Li Ling, but she said that Li Ling's words were a little inappropriate.

"It's the mood." Li Ling corrected with a smile. "I know it must have been Mia or Ina who made the decision to make us partners, and even deliberately provoked everyone's anger here. But don't worry, it's just a ploy on their part. You don't have to worry about these things. ”

"But......" Bren thought: although Ina's overly blunt announcement caught me off guard, it was exactly what I was looking forward to!

"But your mind is a little confused right now?" Li Ling hurriedly said. "Don't worry, it won't be long before you find yourself calming down, or even completely disgusted by the absurdity of today!"

"You ......" Bren looked at Li Ling with his mouth stammered, wondering why did this guy always rush to finish my words and not give me a chance to show his heart at all? Is he disgusting me? No, no, the innocent Bren shook his head repeatedly, Mia and Ina both told me that the people in this world who could reject me had not yet been born. There must be other reasons......

Li Ling looked at the uncertain appearance on Brun's face, and gently patted his forehead with his palm, thinking to himself that I can't help His Highness Brun, if I could have expected Ina to announce these decisions in front of all Rao, I would have told you the story of Qin Yu and me earlier. But now, I can't refuse His Majesty Mia's kindness in front of everyone, otherwise even if Her Majesty Mia doesn't condemn you, I'm afraid that the man who admires you like that won't be able to get around me, a negative man who eats inside and out......

What Li Ling didn't know was that his shaking his head and helpless appearance fell into the eyes of others, as if he was deliberately putting on a non-startled appearance to mock everyone. Soon, the guards in front of the high platform were no longer able to stop the surging crowd. Everyone shouted that they were going to rush up and beat Li Ling severely, even if they were severely punished by Her Royal Highness Ina, they didn't care. Of course, most of these guys who are afraid of not messing up are following those budding birds to join in the fun, even if they don't get any benefits, when they talk in the future, they can at least brag that they once became angry at the crown.

Ina still hadn't given any instructions, but the councilors around her were already frantic and kept wiping their foreheads with their sleeves.

A few old men couldn't help but start complaining, but they didn't dare to talk about Her Highness Ina casually, but instead pointed the finger at Li Ling.

"What is this guy doing Li Ling? Completely ignoring the angry crowd? ”

"Shhh, shout, people are now commanders, and the rank is much bigger than ours, so it's better not to call him by his name!"

"What about shouting, an outsider, who thinks that he has been favored by His Majesty Mia, and has nothing to fear?"

"Hey, getting Mia's love is only one aspect, and more importantly, he has the love of His Highness Brun. Hey, poor His Royal Highness Brun looks beautiful and beautiful, but I don't know what kind of drug I have taken, and I have fallen in love with such a guy who doesn't know the roots! ”

"Could it be that this guy is better at that aspect?"

"Shhh...... So, His Highness Brun has ...... Don't dare to think about it, we can't mess up! ”

Although the guards standing behind the two councilors were also extremely unhappy with Li Ling's advantage, they were still extremely disdainful of the two old guys' comments, and couldn't help but speak: "Oh, you two adults, don't you still want to mumble here, don't you see those guys on the left have begun to rush towards us?" It's still important to save your life at this moment! ”

"What!? Why aren't you early! When we're done, we'll tell Your Highness and let her cure your sins!" The two councillors cursed and accused, and hurriedly drilled under the table behind the guards.

It was only then that Ina put away the faint smile she had been wearing on her face and walked over to Li Ling.

"Li Ling! I didn't expect you to be in the mood to sit here, aren't you afraid that these people below will rush to the high platform and tear you to pieces? ”

"Hehe, isn't this exactly what Your Highness Ina wants to see?" Li Ling didn't raise his head, but said in a lazy tone.

"What are you? Do you think I arranged these people? Ina didn't expect Li Ling to refute him in front of everyone, and her angry palm shook a few times.

"Maybe you didn't arrange these people, but you deliberately announced that you would marry His Highness Brun to me immediately after announcing me as the commander of the Black Knights. Could it be that with Her Highness's age and knowledge, she would not have expected such a reaction from everyone? ”

"Well, what a sharp-toothed son. It's been so many years, and it seems that I haven't seen a young man like you who dares to defy me again. Ina calmed her breath, but her thin palms clenched tightly, as if the anger suppressed in her heart was about to explode.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just casually talking, Your Highness Ina will think I'm joking." ”

"Just kidding, hehe, so bold, I'm still in the mood to joke! I'm not in the mood to joke with Lord Commander, though. Now, I order you, the commander of the Black Knights, Li Ling, to quell the riots in Maine Square at once, or else you will be dealt with according to military regulations. ”

"Was this Her Majesty Mia's idea or your own?" Li Ling asked.

Ina was stunned for a moment before she said, "Is there any difference?" ”

"Then I'll be straight, if that's what Her Majesty Mia meant, I believe she's here to make me kill a few troublemakers as a commander to make a name for myself. But if this is your idea, Your Highness Ina, I'm afraid it's just to humiliate me, right? ”

"Whatever you want!" Ina raised her chin and put on an arrogant look. "Even Clara must obey my orders on such occasions. How much more about you? ”
