Chapter 52: The Chess Piece
Pillars of fire rose from the ground in the palace, and the blinding light of the fire illuminated the sky above the imperial city, reflecting the clouds in mid-air into blood red, covering the already dim moon in an instant. Since the imperial city was built on the highest point of the mountain, not only the people in the imperial capital could see the fire, but even those outside the imperial capital could clearly see the explosion in the city
The explosion woke up many people who were still asleep, and naturally it also alarmed the people in the palace. At the time of the chaos, General Bud and the Guards had already sealed off the Emperor's bedchamber in case any Assassins took advantage of the chaos to assassinate the Emperor. Compared with the Gongwei Emperor, the duties of the general are more like the emperor's personal guards. Estes rushed to the side courtyard engulfed in flames with a portion of his guards
The hunters defended the Imperial City together with General Bude, and they were more suitable for taking out the small people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos than fighting fires
Along the way, there were servants busy fighting fires everywhere, and the wind in the high places at night was not small, and if it was not controlled in time, the fire was likely to spread to other areas of the imperial city with the help of the wind. If the imperial city, which had been built for thousands of years, was burned down by an inexplicable fire, not to mention the impact on the royal majesty, it was only the emperor who blamed it, and their servants would not have good fruit to eat
"Oh~ General Estes, your reaction speed is too slow" Before arriving at the location, Estes and his party were stopped, not far away, the flames were engulfing Yongdao, Minister Earnest held the cut steak in one hand, took a bite calmly, and looked Estes up and down with slanted eyes with ill intentions, "When encountering danger, the military attaché's response speed is not as fast as my weak old man, and the combat effectiveness of the emperor's ** team is really worrying"
"Minister Earnest, this is not the place you should be!" Estes waved her hand holding the thin sword, and the cold voice made the soldiers behind her shiver. Since the disagreement over how to deal with the revolutionary army, the rift between Estes and Earnest has grown, "lest my majesty the emperor find an ice sculpture similar to Chancellor Earnest in a pile of ice tomorrow after I freeze this area with my hands."
"It's good to let these people do the firefighting, doesn't General Estes think it's too cheap" Earnest grabbed the meat chop with both hands and took a bite hard, gobbling it up like a man who hadn't eaten in a long time, but in fact Earnest almost never stopped eating, but no one dared to ask him why he ate so much
No one wants to lose their head for their curiosity
Swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth, a trace of cunning flashed in Earnest's eyes, "Besides, except for the general, anyone who does anything in the imperial city is disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, Your Excellency the General must know this, the old man is kind enough to explain this to the general"
"Cut—" Estes gritted his teeth and gurgled as he clucked. Many of the laws of the empire were handed down from the time of the First Emperor, and many of them no longer apply to the current empire, but no one dared to propose that they be annulled for the sake of the emperor's authority. And most emperors are not willing to let the ancestors say a sentence or two about how many years ago to affect their rule, so many laws are not mentioned by everyone, and the article that the minister said is also among them
In terms of force, Estes only needs to move his fingers to kill Minister Earnest, but politically, Earnest dumps her several streets.
Seeing that Estes had nothing to say, Earnest let out a sneer and turned his back to face the fire in front of him, no longer looking at her. The air wave generated by the high temperature made the soldier subconsciously raise his hand to block his eyes, but Earnest turned a blind eye, his beard was not even blown by the air wave, "It's a pity, the palace that has accompanied the emperor for many years has been burned down like this"
As he spoke, Earnest also took out his handkerchief and touched it a few times in the corner of his eye, "Although, the decaying wood will be engulfed in flames, and then replaced by new wood in the reconstruction, which cannot be changed." But no matter how fresh the wood is, there will be a day when it will be completely corroded, hehehehe...... What a pity! The arsonist must be found out in order to be worthy of the spirit of the emperor in the sky."
Throwing the handkerchief into the fire, Earnest took out another piece of meat steak and stuffed it into his mouth, while his voice hummed, "Are you right, General Estes"
For some reason, in Earnest's words, Estes heard a hint of excitement
didn't care if Estes answered him, Earnest hammered his waist, and coughed heavily, "I'm old, it's time to go back to sleep, I'll leave it to the general here, it is estimated that tomorrow the rebels of the Anning Taoist Order, which is closest to the imperial capital, will be able to enter the imperial capital, and the general will have to work hard to ...... then."
Meanwhile, in a small, white-walled room, Aveline opened her sleepy eyes and yawned as she punched the alarm clock beneath her bed
This room is only about thirty square meters, except for a bed for resting, there are only a bunch of various cabinets left, and Aveline has already known how long ago that these cabinets are just decorations, and there is nothing superfluous in the whole room except for the bed that can sleep, it seems that the main god space simply defines the reincarnation's room as a specific resting place. But she is very satisfied with this, compared with the small place where the low-level reincarnator is only more than ten square meters and can only lie down comfortably, the benefits that she can enjoy as a high-level reincarnation are eye-catching among the reincarnators
There is no need to force a wave of team battles with other reincarnators every once in a while, there is no need to accept mandatory tasks, and she can avoid some of her own lack of strength to enter the world of nine deaths. If it weren't for the fact that her life was pinched on the white ball god floating outside the door all the time, Aveline would have wanted to stay in her cabin forever
But the high-level reincarnation is not free to choose her own path, and she must participate when the event world released by the main god space appears
Well, the activity. Thinking of the few pit dads she had entered before, Aveline couldn't help but want to give her middle finger to the big white ball outside. Every time it was advertised that the event world was a world dedicated to the reincarnation to quickly improve their strength, Aveline couldn't resist the temptation to go a few times at first, but then she saw clearly that --- rapid improvement in strength is every mistake, provided that you can be the one percent survivor
Shaking off her only pajamas, Aveline pulled out her gear from under the bed. Although the living environment of the main god space is very small, as long as there is no permission from the owner, no reincarnation person can rush into the rooms of other reincarnators to rob and steal, and naturally there is no need to worry about someone suddenly rushing in when changing clothes
Today is the time for the opening of the activity world mentioned by the main god space, but it seems that because the death rate of reincarnators in the activity world is too high, the activity world has changed its normal state and divided into three different worlds, corresponding to three different levels
A, B, salty
The strength of the reincarnation corresponding to different levels is also deliberately marked at the back. But after the emergence of grading, many high-level reincarnators will, under the guidance of the theory of life preservation priority, use the strength that can go to the first level to choose salty, and it is good to protect it. But the disadvantage of this is that the strength will be quickly left behind by the reincarnators who come back from the first-class world, and maybe they will be dropped
Aveline's slender fingers, accustomed to holding a gun, hesitated for a moment on the panel provided by the main god, but still stayed on the first level. She is a lone wanderer, if she can't keep her strength at a high level, she may not be shot in other worlds, she is a treasure trove of movement in the eyes of many teams, although she doesn't have any good things herself, but the common sense of good treasures in the lone wanderer must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
It's not about accomplishing the world's goals, it's just to see if you can catch something good, and there will definitely be no danger...... Aveline patted her chest and comforted herself
And I'm sure I won't meet that pervert again!
