Chapter 60: Game of Thrones (2-in-1)
The city of Westdum, the upper district, the Iris Palace.
The Iris Palace was the residence of the Weslaire dynasty, the royal family and the heart of the royal government.
It may not be the grandest building in Westdum, but it is definitely the most luxurious and elegant.
The main body of the Iris Palace was built 150 years ago. It was built and designed by the same person - the kingdom's first female monarch, Queen Yuna. She also earned the title of Master Builder directly from this.
To be honest, Queen Yuna's talent for architectural design is obviously better than governing the country.
After that, almost every successive kings of the Veslaire dynasty, who ruled the kingdom of Westdum, further expanded the court and built new palaces.
The construction and design of the Iris Palace is said to have been based on the Baroque style of the classical period before the Cataclysm. As a result, the entire complex of the Iris Palace, in the entire city of Westdum, and even in the entire New Era, is unique, and it is difficult to find the same.
On the long corridor of the Iris Palace, two men walked through the corridors with intricate and exquisite reliefs.
The sun is shining, the golden wall is brilliant, but the conversation between the two of them is so dark.
"Those idiots of the Skull Party! Worse than useless! A middle-aged man with a serious face said angrily, dressed in a gorgeous costume with black and gold rimmed, and holding a pure gold cane in his hand.
If anyone who knows the goods is here, they will be able to recognize his identity: the greatest nobleman in Westdom, Duke Norman Hargraves.
And beside him was one of his most important allies, Luhman Finn. He is the current chairman of Blackbird Heavy Industries, and is a well-known big capitalist in the Kingdom of Westdum.
Finn's age is old, and the old man in a suit is already a little inconvenient in his movements. With the help of his crutches, he struggled to keep up with the Duke of Northman, who led him in one position.
He said: "When they found Princess Yasha's traces before, they were actually not sure that it was her, and they also dispatched their core forces to intercept it, but they didn't expect the Hunter Guild to intervene so quickly......"
"Enough!" Duke Northman, who had his back to Finn, said angrily, "Finn, don't say nice things to those greedy and short-sighted guys. How could that insatiable rat of Barenette, if he hadn't been intent on taking my dear little niece for himself and using it as a bargaining chip to demand more from me, would have taken matters into his own hands after receiving the information and had not reported the whereabouts of the princess? I've had enough of the Skull Party's incompetence, and Barenert has to pay for him for squandering such a good opportunity for me! ”
Finn sighed lightly, and he silently mourned in his heart for Barenilt, the boss of the Skull Party. The man in front of him is a tyrant and an out-and-out tyrant. He said that if he wanted Barenert to pay, the guy would be doomed.
Although Finn was a little reluctant in his heart, after all, Barenett had been investing in it himself. But that bastard went too far this time, and insatiable people will always die because of their greed, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
"Barenilt is going to pay for his greed, but you don't have to worry too much, Your Highness. I placed thousands of cyborg in the Biochemical Research Center on Merlin Boulevard, and the riot I launched on the grounds that the Biochemical Research Center was out of control covered the raid of our masters on Princess Yasha's convoy. According to the news from the front, Princess Yasha should have died on the spot in this catastrophe. ”
"Should?" Northman sneered, "You told me the word 'should'?" ”
Finn said, "We saw the car burned to scrap metal in the eyes of the Hunters' Guild. ”
"Let me ask you, has anyone confirmed the body of my little niece?"
"This ...... Mars of the Hunters' Guild arrived immediately after the battle, and none of us who had seen the scene escaped, and no one had a chance to confirm the body. ”
"Then how dare you say that Yasha is dead? Immediately give me to check at all costs, I want a completely certain result, not this ambiguity! ”
"Yes, my Highness." Fein replied, and then he asked another question: "Your Royal Highness, how are we going to deal with the riots in Merlin Avenue and the Clover community?" ”
"Give the Hunters' Guild a headache." Northman said, "Those guys, who don't accept my kindness, say that they abide by neutrality, and in the end dare to help the royal party!" Just make a show, don't put any forces on Clover and Merlin Avenue, their Clover Division would be the best if it was destroyed! ”
Finn frowned and said, "With all due respect, Your Highness, I think our strategy against the Hunters' Guild was problematic before, and we threatened them that if they don't side with us, we will restrict the Hunters' Guild in the future." We're pushing the hunters into the king's side. ”
Norsman snorted and said, "I don't want the Westdum under my control in the future to have such a group of hunters who don't listen to orders and like to cause trouble. They must be restrained if they really dare to stand too close to the king...... I don't mind outlawing them in the future! ”
"Well......" Finn sighed, and he knew he couldn't persuade Northman. In his opinion, the Hunters' Guild is an organization with deep roots, and their history is even older than the kingdom of Westdum, and it is even said to date back to the era of the Cataclysm.
With such an organization, offending them is not a wise choice.
Norsman was a little conceited in this matter.
But what can he do? He couldn't persuade the lord, so he could only cooperate as best he could.
The two of them had come to the end of the corridor as they spoke.
Walking through the promenade, there is a garden.
The maid had been standing at the entrance of the garden for a long time.
"Her Majesty is there?"
"Please follow me, Your Highness the Duke."
Following the maid, the Duke of Norsman and Finn met the woman sitting on a stone bench with a harp in her hand.
She is the current head of state of the Kingdom of Westdum, Queen of Mayne.
I have to say that the most beautiful woman in Westom, this title is not too much for Queen Maine
。 Thirty years ago, Mei Yin, who was only sixteen years old and was still a princess at the time, had already made countless princes and nobles bend their waists. And now, thirty years have not affected her beauty in the slightest, her face is not wrinkled, and her figure is still slender and elegant. It was as if the years had not cursed her, but had given her better gifts.
The girl of the year has now become a beautiful and still noble lady.
Every time Norsman saw Her Majesty, the fire of jealousy burned in his heart. He was furious, if he had married Main, not his stupid brother, how could this be the case now?
He exhaled and exhaled the fragrance from Main's body, then leaned over lightly and said hello, "Your Majesty, good afternoon." ”
Queen Main ignored him.
Northman didn't care, with a heavy sadness on his face, he said: "This morning, an explosion occurred in a biochemical research center on Merlin Avenue, and the semi-mechanized creations stored in the warehouses of Merlin Avenue and Clover Community are all out of control, which has caused great turmoil. ”
Queen Main had a sad look on her face: "Finn? ”
"Your Majesty, I'm here. I express my deep guilt for the occurrence of such a big safety accident in our Blackbird Heavy Industries, and we will definitely formulate complete measures to fully cooperate with the government to control the disaster and compensate for the aftermath, as long as the government needs it, Blackbird Heavy Industries will never shirk its responsibility. ”
"You're all playing with intrigue now, have you all reached this kind of riot that doesn't hesitate to cause a community or two? Norsman, you have killed my husband, your own brother, and now that the whole kingdom is ruled by you, what are you not satisfied with? ”
"Your Majesty, you are serious, this is just an accident, including the death of my younger brother, Justin, is also just an accident, how can it have anything to do with the conspiracy?" The Duke of Northman said 'sadly', "By the way, there is another not-so-good news, do you want to hear it?" ”
Her Majesty played the harp to herself, ignoring it.
Northman didn't need the queen's permission, he said to himself: "I heard that my little niece, Her Royal Highness Yasha was in the hunters' guild of the Clover community before......"
Before he could finish speaking, the strings broke.
Queen Main, whose fingers were cut by the strings, suddenly turned her head and stared at Northman: "What do you mean?" ”
"Your Majesty......"
"Northman!" Her Majesty roared, "My daughter...... If you dare to hurt her, I'll break the net with you! ”
Northman suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so angry. Perhaps, if Her Highness Yasha is alive, you still have a chance to break the net with me. If my little niece dies, you really won't have a chance at all. ”
With that, he turned and walked away, and the sound of a harp being smashed was heard behind him.
Northman said to Finn beside him: "That is Your Majesty's favorite piano, it's a pity to fall like this, go find a piano for Your Majesty, remember, be sure to be the best." ”
"Norsman! You're a demon! "Queen Main is roaring.
……
Yasha sat in the car, listening to the stabbing sound of the super elevator as it descended, and she was a little fascinated.
Of course, she wasn't appreciating the loud noise, but her heavy heart could only be pinned on it at the moment.
In this escort commission, Gu Shiqiu, who was the leader of the four-leaf clover escort hunter team, saw the sad look on Yasha's face.
He comforted: "Your Highness, please don't worry too much. Now, the enemy will definitely not be able to grasp our whereabouts anytime soon, and with seven high-level witchers transferred from the headquarters joining the team to protect you, there should not be much more danger. ”
Yasha smiled and said, "I trust you guys so much, I was just thinking about my father and mother. ”
Gu Shiqiu was silent, not knowing what to say.
He never imagined that he and his group of colleagues would one day be able to take over the commission of escorting the princess of the kingdom.
To tell the truth, when he was in the Clover branch, he was really shocked when he heard Minister Mars say that the little girl sitting in the conference room was actually Prince Justin, who had passed away three months ago, and Princess Yasha, the biological daughter of His Majesty Main.
And when he learned that his mission was to escort Princess Yasha to Wahu Town to her uncle, Duke Jiang Yunliang, he was even more shocked.
He is a very senior witcher, and he is also very strong, he has completed countless difficult and difficult commissions, fought against all kinds of powerful monsters, and in some aspects, his sense of smell is also very sensitive.
The Hunters' Guild has spared no effort in this matter. Most of the cutting-edge combat power of the Clover Division is here, except for President Mars himself; From the headquarters of the Hunters' Guild, many cutting-edge experts have been mobilized to take charge of the safety of Her Highness Yasha.
Does this mean that the Hunters' Guild, which has always been neutral in various courts and power struggles, and has chosen to stay out of the matter, is going to join this power struggle this time?
He didn't know.
He felt that it was better not to think so much, and he couldn't think of anything to take it anyway. He only needs to complete the task at hand and deliver Princess Yasha safely to Duke Jiang Yunliang in Wahu Town.
It is said that Duke Jiang Yunliang has a heavy army, and the masters under his command are like clouds, not to mention, he is also the top powerhouse of the famous side.
The main thing is his identity, he is his daughter is Queen Jasmine, and Queen Main is his own niece.
He sighed, and he shook the thought out of his head. These power struggles at the top of the kingdom have always felt far away from him, even now. Although his strength is good, he can only be regarded as a high-end combat power in the Hunter Guild, and he is still far from the management, so this kind of thing should be left to the group of bigwigs at the guild headquarters to consider.
Putting aside his thoughts and returning to reality, he had just opened his mouth, ready to comfort Yasha, but only felt a shock to the body.
The super elevator is already in the end.
The elevator door slowly opened, and under the command of the guide in front, vehicles and crowds lined up and walked out of the super elevator in an orderly manner.
Looking ahead, Gu Shiqiu's eyes froze, and he noticed that on both sides of the passage outward from the elevator, there was a team of heavily armed soldiers, and the words 'Weishi Special Service' were still glued to their arms.
Of course, Gu Shiqiu knew this sign: the secret service of the government of the Kingdom of Westum, the secret secret service of the kingdom, referred to as KSS.
The official power of the Kingdom of Westdum is roughly divided into three parts. One is the police station, which is responsible for the security of the jurisdiction, and if you encounter monsters and strange beasts, it basically has no role except to help evacuate the crowd.
The second is the kingdom army, which is the core force, but it is generally not a large-scale military operation, and it is certainly not enough to dispatch an army.
And the most mysterious is KSS. They are the gathering place of agents of government agencies, there are not many people, but they are all elites, and they are responsible for dealing with all kinds of mysterious things and monsters.
The hunters have a bad relationship with the police station, and even worse with the KSS. There have been many clashes between the two sides, and there have even been many cases where hunters have been captured by the Secret Service and never returned.
These people are even more annoying than the police station.
And at this critical time, Princess Yasha was sitting in her car, waiting for the KSS people who were not moving, and suddenly stood outside the super elevator, what does this mean?
Gu Shiqiu became nervous.
He took out the walkie-talkie and whispered, "Everyone, pay attention, there is a mad dog of KSS in front." Yu Guo, is there a problem with your illusion disguise? Don't be discovered. ”
"Yes, don't worry."
The vehicle drove out slowly, Gu Shiqiu's hand was already on the hilt, in case of any accident, the 'Autumn Leaf Knife' was ready to be pulled out immediately, full of blood.
"Calm down and don't be seen." Yu Guo's reminder followed.
Her illusion effect allows her target to see what she wants them to see. Now, in the eyes of those secret services, the group of people in their cars were nothing more than a group of people who looked unusual, who had come to the lower districts to run errands.
The vehicle drove out and walked by the sight of the KSS people, everything was safe.

When I uploaded this chapter, I saw the seventh position on the new book list, and to be honest, this is the first time in my life that I have been in the top ten.
