Chapter 56
The royal city of Hopes, Huttante.
About 500 years ago, a "Qing court drama" broke out in the royal family of Sibaisuo, that is, civil strife or something.
Originally the fief of successive Prince Hetante, the city of Hetant preserves the most complete royal history, and in Chinese it is the land of Longxing of the Kingdom of Speiso, and its symbolic and practical significance are very important.
The reason why it was given to Prince Hetante was that when the family was separated, it went through a series of interest exchanges and political compromises, and by this time, the kingdom's borders were advancing thousands of kilometers to the north, and the ties that maintained the inherent interests had changed greatly, and it was no longer possible to maintain a balance.
The contradiction between the north and the south is sharp, after several years of royal war, and after a series of interest exchanges and political compromises, for example, the city of Hetante was returned to the royal family and became the royal capital, and the name of the "Flying Camel Legion" was given to Prince Hetante.
The three parties were reunited (the northern and southern princes, the royal family, and the southern princes were later annexed by the royal family) and became a powerful royal state, historically known as the "Three Kings Conference".
Interestingly, the title of Prince Hetant has not changed to this day, the royal capital is still called Hetante, and the mounts of the "Flying Camel Legion" have long been replaced by mountain horses and giant reindeer of northern breeds, but the name has not been changed to "Giant Deer Legion" or anything else, it is still called "Flying Camel Legion".
The remaining two sides seem to have the intention of replacing the other.

Fort Mitril.
This is the castle of Natalia's former royal fiancé, the ninth in line to the throne.
Don't worry about the marriage of close relatives, in the entire Swashville Rand realm, each kingdom has a special institution, like the "Zongren Mansion", but the name is different. It is used to manage the royal bloodline.
For example, Einstein, who is said to have an IQ of 250, and his mother is his father's cousin, and perhaps in private he still has the trouble of calling his mother an aunt or a father an uncle.
Maintaining the purity of the royal bloodline is very necessary from the perspective of royal power and reality. Because this is the High Magical World Realm, the bloodline can also inherit some rare abilities, even if there are no special abilities, after dozens of generations of male and female selection, it will also make the offspring have a greater chance of being stronger, smarter, more beautiful, and more handsome...... It is always an individual who conforms to the laws of evolution.
They may not be able to recognize this with their knowledge, but that doesn't stop people from evolving from instinct to tradition and following it.
Forts like Fort Mitril are not comfortable to live in, they were built for military purposes, and they focused more on offensive or defensive functions. It's also not suitable for a banquet or party, but it's perfect for a secret meeting.
The castle originally had the ability to protect against magic, and after several talks, the accompanying mages arranged some enchantments to retreat irrelevant personnel, and the empty hall was clear at a glance, and the secrecy was very high.
There were eight people in attendance, if Natalia was here. You can see that four of them are her cousins and cousins, and the other four are powerful nobles from the south.
Each seat is flanked by a subordinate. In front of him were writing paper, writing ink, delicate feather pens, stacks of paperwork and animal skin scrolls, and some other small alchemy items, which were probably confidants and other recorders and staff.
A female mage is playing magical images for everyone, the same "red-haired female swordsman image" circulating in Prince Hetant's hands, and an oolong image of Sophie, the little knight, in the small town of Ballest.
The fighting spirit is soaring, and the dragon is overpowered.
Everyone was captivated by the content, the huge hall. Silence.
After the video ended, the lights around it came back on, and it was a long time before someone said:
"I'm glad I'm glad we got this information. and the original plan has not yet been implemented"
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask a small question, is the authenticity of these images guaranteed?"
"Come on, I know it's hard for you to believe that it's been a long time since such a legendary powerhouse has appeared in the entire kingdom and even the entire continent, but you know it very well, don't you? Didn't your subordinates just buy an abyss demonic beast sealed in a giant yellow crystal from that auction, and if they could capture and seal a fierce beast of that level, this person himself would probably be a legend or even a saint-level powerhouse."
"But this form of the dragon is very close...... No, the legendary dragon god is not so huge, right? ”
"I was in Pittsburgh at the time, and I could clearly feel that kind of dragon power, so there will be no doubt about this, we can just think that it is the three dragon gods, because it doesn't matter if it is not, there has been no dragon and dragon envoy on the mainland for a long time, and even if it appears, I don't think it will be their opponent."
"I don't understand, what level of existence would be involved in the business affairs of ordinary people? The power and wealth of mortals should not be taken into their hearts."
"What's so strange about this, that lord also needs to eat and drink Lazar, and also has mortal lusts, and according to the analysis of my subordinates, it is more likely that he did these things out of interest"
“……”
Several people discussed, but kept covering half of their cheeks with a fan, and one of Natalia's cousins clapped her hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, said:
"I have to warn you that your discussion seems to have strayed from the topic of the meeting, hasn't it? What we should consider now is what attitude we should take towards this Lord and his Red Star Chamber of Commerce, and how to use cooperative means to grab greater benefits, after all, we have confirmed that the above information is true, not to mention us, even the entire kingdom cannot bear the wrath of this Lord ".
"You're right, but I have to correct that the Lord has already reserved room for us to cooperate, so the word grabbing is not appropriate, and ...... You've probably seen the parable, the one about the two gold miners."
"One returns to his hometown to become a rich man, and the other develops the mine into a territory...... That's what I'm worried about, because I can't see it for what it is, I mean, does it really matter if you let those untouchables get so much benefit and power? ”
"Well—I guess that, I can use this ...... Ah, the data? To illustrate from the side with this data, this is the annual report of the previous year just made by the Red Star Chamber of Commerce, in fact, it is only a few months, but the wealth handled in the exchange is quite amazing, considering that we are not business talents, I asked my subordinates to simplify the tables of these data, at least I can understand it"

"Isn't it okay to let that elf follow us like this?"
Natalia asked, looking at the elven assassin who had been following the line on the screen.
"We're not afraid of prying eyes, are we?"
Liu An nestled in her arms and said with a smile.
Three dragon girls and female barbarians are learning to drive outside, desert terrain vehicles, four team women are accompanied, without him, the three dragon girls and female barbarians often nervously twist the steering wheel out of shape or simply twist it off, and the four women need to use [alchemy] to repair it at any time.
"It's like you asked me to deliberately leak the missing image crystal?"
"Although those cousins of yours are all cannibalistic and don't spit out bones, they are typical magnates, and I don't like them very much, but it takes time to tear down and rebuild, and you now know that our main goal is not to make the Kingdom of Sbaisu the number one power on the continent, and I have always wanted to experiment whether the so-called class limitations really cannot be broken, which will reflect the future course of action of our entire group...... For example, when we meet the next kingdom of Sbaisho, it may not be the gentle method of the current one, but the violent support of an armed coup d'état of one side or something, so we must let them know our strength and understand some things."
Natalia rolled her eyes in thought, then laughed.
"I don't understand, it's okay, I'm your person now anyway"
It seems that the older the place, the simpler the people, although she is a princess, Natalia does not have any strength or desire for power, except for the more ingredients of the bed bully, which is very suitable for living.
After learning that this leaky platform actually has multiple enchantments, and you can neither see nor hear anything from the outside, especially now that you have overcome the natural fear of some kind of long cylindrical mosaic object, the parentheses are dedicated to dealing with Liu An, this large beauty with a height of nearly two meters has become unscrupulous, and in the past few weeks in the desert, the two have basically never left the bed here, and they have lived a life without shame in the real sense.
A few days ago, after entering the desert known as the "Sea of Death", the death party of the Jeppen people disappeared and seemed to be full of fear of the place.
It was precisely because there was no other tail behind him that the whereabouts of the elven assassin were highlighted.
The purpose of Liu An's trip is a relic in the desert.
In the past year, under the day and night scanning of the reconnaissance bees, about 95% of the terrain and landforms of this continent have been sorted out, and the remaining five percent are very special areas, some are only the size of playgrounds, and some cover a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, or artificial magic protection, or naturally formed magical element chaos zone, or the territory of some sensitive fantasy creatures scanned by the reconnaissance bee.
Located in the Sea of the Dead, this relic is the closest to the above. As for the relics of civilization that have been discovered, they can issue tasks through the Mercenary Guild, allowing mercenaries and adventurers to collect what the Guardians need, which only costs some gold coins and does not involve too much effort.
After all, the Adventurer's Guild is an interdimensional organization. (To be continued......)
