Sure enough, the old men in the House of Elders died, and their backbones were broken. Princess Sophia snorted softly and said disdainfully.

But then he shook his head, "Don't despise those nobles, they have been working in the kingdom for hundreds of years, and their power is deeply entrenched, and they are not so easy to deal with. As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and they will never wait to be killed like this. ”

"Now that the remnants of the Holy Sect are making such a fierce fuss, if the nobles also rebel en masse, and the kingdom is full of flames, and the country is really going to be shattered, does the Emperor really have the determination?" the mysterious man asked with a slight suspicion.

Princess Sophia looked at him and said unhappily, "What, are you questioning my judgment?"

"I don't dare, it's just a little doubt in my heart, and I hope His Highness will answer. The mysterious man hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully.

"That's because you all underestimated my father, and you should have heard what I just said, I'm probably the only one in the world who knows him best. ”

"The kingdom is in ruins, and the people are in misery, so what!

"He was bent on becoming the Emperor of the Ages, and he wanted to accomplish what no heroic king had accomplished—to build a unified, centralized, and powerful empire. ”

He didn't care what sacrifices were made in the process, and how many people died, in order to achieve this goal. ”

And now is the best time for him to realize his ambitions, the internal holy religion has been eliminated, and he no longer cares. The Falcon family and the royal family are married to the outside, the southern border has been pacified, the eastern border is still in civil strife, and the vitality is greatly damaged, while the Iron Thorn family in the western border is tenacious and tenacious, but after all, it is a bitter cold land, and its strength is not enough. ”

What he wants now is to sweep away the aristocratic power in the country and completely return all power to the royal power. As for the crimes of those nobles, what kind of rebellion against the party, treason, collusion with cults, etc., as long as you want to splash dirty water, the nobles in these years still have a clean foundation?"

"That's why Your Majesty has taken such drastic measures?", the mysterious man asked.

Princess Sophia nodded, "That's right, he is going to use the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves now, and calm the civil strife as soon as possible, so that he can deal with the other three realms." However, after all, these nobles have a big family, and they are not as easy to deal with as the Holy Sect. So I judged that he would definitely use the army, to suppress it by force, and that the city guards alone would not be enough to quickly extinguish the rebellion that spread throughout the country, and he would definitely use other armies. ”

"Like the Northern Legion?"

"That's right, that's where our chance lies, and as long as Walkerworth's moves in the North go well, we have hope of defeating him!", Princess Sophia affirmed.

"I see. "No wonder Mr. Walkwoods once said that if there is only one man in this world who can defeat Emperor Grievous, it must be you, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia." ”

Princess Sophia didn't react to this compliment, and she suddenly asked, "Don't say anything else, have I clarified the matter I told you?"

"You have promised me that you have great powers, and there is nothing in the entire Shenghui City that you can't find out. ”

"Believe us, although we don't promise forever like Earl Reinhardt, we will prove our worth by proving our worth. The mysterious man said, and although his voice did not fluctuate as if it were a machine, Princess Sophia heard a hint of pride?

"According to our investigation, since the Emperor succeeded to the throne, the research funding of the Royal Magic Order has risen rapidly, and now it has risen to an incredible level, reaching an astronomical amount. ”

"So?", Princess Sophia raised her eyebrows.

"According to our investigation, this funding has gone far beyond ordinary magical research, so what are the Royal Magic Orders studying? I haven't seen any amazing results from them in so many years. ”

"Then we used all kinds of means to find out the research materials purchased by the Royal Magic Troupe for so many years, and found an amazing fact: most of these research materials are used in the dark arts!"

Princess Sophia sighed, "Sure enough, it's dark magic! I have a hunch in my heart that he will definitely go down this path." ”

The mysterious man nodded, "It's not surprising, after the Hero King exterminated a large number of dark magicians, he searched for a large number of dark magic research materials, most of which were destroyed, some of which were handed over to the Holy Sect, and some were collected by the royal family. ”

"Dynasties have risen and fallen, and we speculate that the Violet royal family also inherited this part of the Dark Arts legacy, and the Great's Dark Arts research confirms that it is based on these legacies. Moreover, the study of black magic may not have originated with the Emperor, but from previous generations of kings, and it was not until the Emperor's dynasty finally completed the final research results. ”

"And the results of this research are related to the succession of the kingdom, right? Otherwise, he would not have sacrificed me, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother to his own ambitions, and did not care about the survival of the kingdom. Princess Sophia asked, but there was a wake-up call in her heart: "This mysterious organization is so powerful, some secrets are even unknown to me, how did they find out?", but with such a question in her heart, her face did not show it at all.

"You've probably heard of the crazy idea that the ancient dark magicians put forward - the artificial mage project, and the principle is actually to transform people into elves, so that people have some kind of elven characteristics. ”

Princess Sophia nodded, "I know that. ”

The mysterious man continued: "In fact, everyone's eyes are on the artificial mage, but they forget that the elves have another characteristic besides the talent of spell casting, but everyone has ignored it. ”

"What character?", Princess Sophia asked impatiently.

Elves generally live to be more than 500 years old, which is one of the reasons why they are called nature's darlings. ", replied the mysterious man.

"He wants to live to be five hundred years old like an elf!", exclaimed Princess Sophia, she had never expected Grievous the Great to have such ambitions.

"Yes, yes, no wonder he gave up all four of us, if he really lived to be five hundred years old, what would be the point of us children to him? ", Princess Sophia muttered to herself.
