Chapter 5: Returning to the Imperial Capital and Proposing to the Emperor
Thaiwell asked about his future plans, Yu Youzi didn't think about it, he can't be considered alone now, at least there are three people who need to be considered by himself, Alaifeng and Alaiyou want to follow him on a bizarre adventure, and Tahi wants to return to the Tianmu Empire for revenge...... First of all, these purposes are not to be talked about, at least I have to have a little economic income, no matter how I look at these three girls, I need to spend money to support, and what I want to do in the future must be considered on this basis.

Wu Donna pulled out a chair and sat down, interrupting Yu Youzi's thoughts: "Your Majesty may send you to the Hero Country to meet with your subordinates. ”
Yu Youzi: "By the way, speaking of which, your regiment commander is here in the country of heroes, and everyone rushed back, why didn't you see him running back again......?"
Tate and Wu Donald looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they only had a wry smile for their leader's sister control character that was known not only to passers-by but also to people from other worlds.
After taking a sip of tea to suppress the embarrassment, Teve said, "I also heard that it was Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Prince who promised to send the Silver Knights over to let the Prince stay over there with peace ......of mind."
Yu Youzi: "It's conceivable. ”
Wu Donald: "I also heard from Yanni that the prince's communication scrolls were originally kept by her, she said that at the time...... Anyway, in the end, the prince stayed there for the meeting of the Ring Tower, and instead, Yanni came back and had to report to him on time. ”
After the three of them talked about the Ring Tower Contest for a while, Yu Youzi said: "In short, what happens in the future depends on Her Majesty's arrangement...... In fact, he was already thinking about how to go to the country of heroes, although he was a purple coat of arms in Karelian, but the country was too small, and it could be said that there was nothing to attract him except for Xian Ruola...... How do you pursue this snow-haired princess who has a clear sense of distance from herself?
The Seal Beast blew itself up the next morning, at a time that differed greatly from what was recorded. Wizheim had tracked the Seal Beast that appeared in the No Man's Land for research, and it is said that the fastest one blew itself up after three days.
After receiving a report from the royal guards about the anomaly of the Sealed Beast, Tequir told them to retreat further away, while the Silver Knights gathered on the top of a hill with a wide view on the edge of Bark Village.
Fahiled yawned and said, "Blowing himself up so quickly should be the cause of the injury." ”
His view was well received.
The power of the explosion is very amazing, in Yu Youzi's opinion, except that there is no mushroom cloud formed, it is comparable to a nuclear explosion, and there is no radiation, the huge scarlet lightning hemisphere shrouds the vast forest like a cover, extremely dazzling, unlike yesterday's scarlet smoke, it is itself radiating light, there is a tragic sense of beauty, and the heaven and earth seem to have been cut out of a wound...... It feels so high that it feels higher than a mountain. The explosion set off a wave of qi spread over the surface, oppressing people's souls and trembling...... Of course, it is also possible that the proximity is the reason, after all, the hill is only about 12 kilometers away from the center of the explosion.
The nose itched for a while, and he always felt that there was something to taste, but there was no taste, Yu Youzi looked at the people around him, and the eleven silver knights also sniffled: "What kind of smell is this?"
"Hmm...... If the magic is too strong, it will happen. I don't know who replied casually.
"I used to go to the home magic machine factory, and it smelled like this. ”
"The crystal mines under our feet are going to be full...... The power of this explosion ......"
"I can't believe we've defeated such a beast. ”
They were talking to each other, and Yu Youzi thought of Graham, if it went well, he might have passed through the sealing point, or the teleportation point, and reached the other end, I hope he can go well.
On his side, it is not smooth at all, a sense of urgency that is being chased by something oppresses him, Yu Youzi understands in his heart that this sense of urgency is due to the recovery of memory, and now the self may be replaced by the revived "me" at any time, and his short life in the other world may end at any time, oppressing himself is a feeling that he can't even breathe, and at the same time there is another voice in his heart, that is, personality memory is the same as knowledge memory, it is fused rather than swallowed...... But in short, this psychological pressure made Yu Youzi restless, unable to concentrate on some things to think effectively, and the logical ability to separate one, two, and three from the original regulations was also lost. The emotion of disappearing and disappearing is permeated deep in my heart, and now in retrospect, the biggest impact of this emotion is the second confession to Xian Ruola in the battle with the sealing beast, and I didn't continue after being interrupted, and I was even a little glad that I was interrupted, so that I could avoid a lot of trouble with "me" after that - there was no longer that feeling of doing what I wanted......
"Report to Your Majesty. Tate said to Yanni at the end.
Wang Du, in the conference room where Yu Youzi attended the regular meeting of the cycle last time, all the members of the kingdom council were present, but there were only six ministers present, and there was no one in the position behind them, and on the steps in front of the conference room, there were only two members of the royal family, Hygilia and her husband Lemore.
They've been negotiating something since early in the morning. At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and an advisor of the Wang family walked in quickly holding a piece of stationery, and in the current special high-level meeting, no matter what had to be postponed, unless it was a big piece of information, it could be sent in urgently - such as the information that the sealing beast had exploded.
Hygilia took the letter, and the advisor of the Wang family bowed and retreated, opened it and handed it to Lemore, who was sitting next to him, and said, "The sealing beast blew itself up." ”
There was silence in the conference room, the ministers made their own calculations, no one said or even moved, the atmosphere was extremely dull, and the inexplicable pressure was surging.
The Minister of War was the first to break the silence: "Ahem, then the problem that the Minister of the Interior said before does not exist. ”
Speaker: "But the soldiers' pensions still have to be paid." ”
Home Secretary: "So how do we make a statement to the domestic press?"
Minister of War: "Our country has successfully eliminated the Sealing Beast, and the Sealing Beast will no longer be a dangerous ......"
The Minister of Justice interrupted the Minister of War's generous speech by knocking on the table: "Please pay attention to the feelings of the people in Japan, since ancient times, the people of Japan have not regarded the 'Sealing Beast' as a disaster. ”
The Foreign Secretary had another question in mind: "Our kingdom will become a regional hotspot for some time to come......
Speaker: "Let's solve domestic problems first......
The ministers argued fiercely, and on the steps Lemore turned to Hygilia, and the queen listened to her husband whisper: "There is no Granham on Baikoma's side, and the civil war can end in two cycles." ”
Hygilia knew the reason why he brought up the civil war at this time, because the area with the heaviest tradition of sealing beast worship was Sanjodao County, as long as this group of people under the banner of traditional civilization was suppressed, the country could be pacified, although the tradition of sealing beast worship in Luadpu County should not be underestimated, but there were no big cities on their side, no core strength, and people everywhere were scattered on the grassland, and the climate could not be formed: "Now let's suppress the ministers first." ”
At this time, the Minister of War became the target of the public again, because the only pure artillery unit in the kingdom was completely wiped out, which was a big deal, and the field stone crystal cannons and city defense stone crystal cannons of the entire kingdom added up to a hundred, and the loss of fifty guns was quite a loss of half of the kingdom's cannons, which can be said to be a very fatal blow.
And the pressure on the Minister of War led by the Minister of Internal Affairs is actually putting pressure on the royal family in disguise, and Hygilia can feel that at this time she must come forward to speak for the Minister of War, otherwise if he is suppressed, or even expelled from the Kingdom Council, it will be an immeasurable loss to the authority of the royal family: "Everyone be quiet...... Regarding the issue of the stone crystal cannon, we are already preparing to purchase a batch of the latest ones from the Hero Country, and the more than 150 artillery pieces are all warriors of the kingdom, so we should be kind to them. ”
The speaker hesitated for a while, and seeing that no one answered, he finally had to speak himself: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that must be noted - these artillerymen were all killed in the battle with the Sealing Beast......"
A key point of the problem arises, and the implication is great: these soldiers are fighting against the Seal Beasts on the orders of Lemore, and they are all heroes and warriors to the royal family, but not necessarily to the ordinary people of this country. In the army in the hands of the Wang family, every soldier takes the glory of the Wang family as the highest starting point, so there is no objection to the traditional idols. Now, if this proposal is passed, it will be equivalent to the Kingdom Council acknowledging the correctness of fighting against the Sealed Beasts, then they will lose their foothold among the people, and the entire foundation of power will be shaken...... On the other hand, this proposal is a breakthrough for the royal family, as if it is successfully passed, then the royal authority will be further enhanced, at least in the future, the idolatry of the sealing beast will be completely ended, which is what the people represented by the royal council do not want to see.
As a result, the central topic of this special meeting gradually shifted to the final treatment of fallen artillerymen...... The soldiers who died ended up here as bargaining chips, into a number for bargaining with each other.
Minister of War: "I insist on treating the fallen artillerymen on an equal footing with those who died in Baikoma. ”
Chancellor of the Exchequer: "The long civil war has emptied the treasury, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to come up with a pension of one hundred and fifty people at once......"
Home Secretary: "I propose to slow down the pension of the artillerymen, and the press will also suppress this matter for a while, and then discuss it when the economy of our kingdom has eased in a few years." ”
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the people present looked sideways one after another, only to see Xian Ruola rushing in and shouting: "The fact is that our soldiers have died! But what are you saying here that you have money or not! This is the heart of the soldiers on the cold front, are you not afraid of being filed by the ancestors!"
The people present knew in their hearts that the key point that everyone was entangled in here was not money or money, and many people muttered in their hearts that the little princess was innocent, bowed their heads and kept silent, waiting for His Majesty to deal with it, this kind of purity is often the most difficult to deal with.
"Why didn't you speak!, couldn't you say it just now!" Xian Ruola took two steps forward, "Why didn't Grandpa Speaker refute them......"
"Enough. The royal couple on the steps looked at each other, and finally Hygilia got up and said, "Why did you run in, didn't you stay in the room?"
"Mother, I'm ...... They ......"
"Alright, don't say any more, go back quickly. ”
"Ahem, Your Majesty, Ladies and Gentlemen. The sound at the door attracted the attention of everyone in the room, only to see that Xian Ruola was followed by a liaison officer, looking at the face should be the foreign minister, he was going to push the door in to deliver the information, but Xian Ruola, who heard the last conversation of several ministers, took the lead, in fact, the little princess has been hiding outside the door, she has always been very dissatisfied with her mother's exclusion of her from the meeting, her sister and Sanfrye participated in the meeting at her own age, and after participating in the last meeting, she took it for granted that she had the right to participate in every subsequent meeting......
The liaison officer, who was suddenly watched by everyone, was a little nervous, and the young man's forehead was faintly sweaty, and he hurriedly walked to the side of Foreign Minister Van Velia, handed her a piece of letterhead, and then bowed to everyone present and retreated.
Van Vilia opened the letter from which the scroll was copied and glanced at it, then got up and walked up the steps to hand it to Hygilia, who was standing there.
Lemore saw his wife, the queen of the kingdom, staring at the short letter for a long time, her brows furrowed deeply, as if it was a more serious news than the Sealing Beast blew itself up: "What happened?"
Facing her husband's concern, Hygilia let out a long breath and turned to look at the curious Xianruola: "The current emperor of the hero country proposes to Xianruola......"
