Chapter 557: It's dawn
This night's royal city is no longer as quiet as before, and there is no longer the prosperity and sheng songs that indulge in the night. The chains of relationships and money that should have flowed through the neon of song and dance have been replaced by the magic, slashing and flesh of the night.
It's like moving the battlefield on the distant frontier to the royal city, and it's like going back to the recorded or unrecorded battles that took place here hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
The east was covered with a touch of satin-like gold, and then a bright red cloud spread out from the sky, and from east to west, it was splashed with a layer of golden lacquer, and after drying, the remaining half of the rainbow ring unfolded and flattened.
It's dawn.
Such a sunrise occurs every morning in the Royal City of Marenor. But how many people pay special attention to the sky every morning?
The daily routine of the residents of Wangcheng was suddenly interrupted by the unexpected arrival of monsters today. The movement of the palace made them so excited or worried that they couldn't sleep all night - the school unit is on vacation, as long as they are not employees of relevant special units, then on this day, it is actually very free.
There are no restrictions on the movement of residents, and it is okay to take refuge, watch onlookers, or even participate in the fighting.
Some of the big-hearted ones simply slept and got up early to sneak to the nearby breakfast shop to inquire about the news from the palace battlefield.
"Huh, is this the end?"
"Hey, don't say it's easy, the battle is so fierce, tsk, it's really ruthless! I heard that hundreds of people died, and countless people were injured. ”
At the cost of hundreds of lives, he successfully solved a "monster coming", and this matter spread abroad, and I don't know how many people's big teeth will be shocked.
"Not only that! At least thousands of them died! Beilongjiang Avenue was closed to traffic this morning, and it is estimated that it is to transport corpses. ”
"Adventurers and soldiers are half-apart, I tell you, don't tell anyone else...... Last night, the arrival of the monster was not simple! Ordinary monsters came, and there was only one portal to expose monsters, but last night, there were several directions in the palace! I saw at least five bright lights at home!"
"When I came over in the morning, I saw that the cleaning had already begun over there, this efficiency is too terrible, isn't it?
"Regina, princesses, why haven't I heard of this person?"
"Hey, the genius of the famous crown city more than ten years ago, you kid is lonely and unheard, right? Let me tell you, oh, what genius falls and returns to the ordinary, it's all!
"Hey, in that case, then you say, will we be a queen in power in the future?"
Various discussions caused by the "Arrival of Monsters" have spread in the royal city. In addition to the incident itself, there are also various conjectures about other aspects, whether it is the rhetoric of some young and middle-aged people who call themselves "politicians" to analyze the situation in all aspects of the royal city from this incident, or the imagination of the whereabouts of the spoils after the destruction of the monsters and the use of military funds, as long as they are within the confines of the royal city, they will always hear similar news.
Officials are also noncommittal.
This has made the residents' brains even bigger, but the credibility has also been reduced - a ruler who dares to confess the crisis to all the residents does not need to hide the results of the battle, right?
It is estimated that after some important aftermath work is handled, the official announcement will be issued, right?
......
At this time, the temporary headquarters that brought together His Majesty the Emperor, His Excellency the High Priest, and the dignitaries and nobles was already crowded. The "bigwigs" who had a little weight in the royal city were all obediently sitting in front of their places at this time, waiting for the post-war meeting to be held.
Most of them haven't slept all night, but at this time, there are more important things than sleeping.
Emperor Marreno casually swept the people sitting in the audience, if it was a "normal" victory, then some of them had already jumped out to show merit, right?
Now, the entire command is surprisingly quiet.
After all, this victory has nothing to do with them, they did not play any key role at all, and if I have to praise it, it is "faithfully carrying out the order and smoothly ensuring the implementation of the plan."
So who is the commander?
Princess Regina with carte blanche from His Majesty the Emperor.
So who is the planner?
Also Princess Regina.
So who created the final decisive situation?
Judging from the victorious projection in the palace, it was still Princess Regina.
Oh my God!!In other words, the powerful summons of this place!!The legendary elemental minions with no cap on the diamond start, unfathomable strength, and almost impossible to count with the naked eye, are the power mastered by Princess Regina??
It's not a dream, is it???
Elemental minions are not something that can be seen everywhere, just take the recent "news" - the Baron Sheaton who has developed because of the arrival of monsters, he doesn't know where to get an ancient artifact, the kind that can summon elemental minions!
Just one! It helped Baron Shelton establish his absolute position in the local area! Directly destroyed some people with crooked thoughts!
Oh no, when there are elemental minions, it's really just an idea thing.
Many of them have witnessed the existence of elemental minions, and they have also witnessed the images of these legendary magical creatures, lightly destroying those monsters that make them fearful.
However, when they were not paying attention, these elemental minions disappeared along with those portals.
Completely gone.
If it weren't for the devastation in the vicinity of the palace and the casualties of the soldiers, as well as the high-value materials stored in a square or secretly hidden by some people, it would be hard to believe that a battle was going on in this place, a few hours ago, that affected the lifeblood of the Maleno Empire.
The doors of the headquarters were pushed open with a bang.
Several strong, heavily armed soldiers, lined up on both sides and enclosed an aisle.
Regina was wearing a black trench coat, and underneath the trench coat was a military uniform that had already been scratched a few times, as well as some blood, burn marks, and dirt and dust.
This windbreaker was taken off by Su Wen to Ruijiana, and with a slight change, it quite flattered Ruijiana's figure.
Ruijana, who was standing at the door, looked quite calm, and then slowly walked in under the gaze of these dignitaries.
The moment the door opened, everyone felt a terrifying "coercion", yes, coercion! similar to the pressure that Eden-sama released when he was angry.
But it's much, much stronger than the kind of pressure that Lord Eden gave......
This coercion only lasted less than a second, and almost disappeared with the appearance of Regiana. With this breath alone, everyone present, including Rejana's own father and the high priest of the Divine Cult, realized that this was Rejana's "hint".
Of course, after this hint, no one will be stupid enough to go against the current Regana.
"Father, the finishing work has basically been arranged, and probably within today, the statistics of the number of casualties, the number of official trophies, and the meritorious service will come out. Everything is currently normal and is being carried out according to the scheduled aftermath plan. Regina went straight to her father's seat, and reported to the emperor with the courtesy of an ordinary officer.
It is really an unbelievable thing to be addressed as "Father", but the etiquette does not match the title. Could it be that this is implying something, and what political stance does it represent?
Behind Regiana, almost all of them had a headache all of a sudden.
However, only Emperor Marrenor himself knew that this daughter of his own was not so strict in terms of title, at least for now, he could be sure that Regina was just casually speaking.
Salutation etiquette is not important to Rejana, what matters is what she says.
But in reality, this is not the case.
Regina leaned slightly to the side and handed the document in her hand to her father from this direction, glancing at the expressions of the people in the audience by the way. After being stunned for a moment, Regina sighed in her heart, a little crying and laughing.
She remembered the conversation she had with Su Wen before.
"What are you looking at me for? Did I just speak strangely?"
"No, no, no, it's not weird, it's decent. Su Wen's eyes revealed a strange meaning, and he stopped talking.
“...... Otherwise, you might as well just say it, I'm a little dizzy right now, and I can't read what you mean. Regina sighed.
"When you go back, your political prestige will soon reach its peak, and your every move is under people's watchful eyes, and if you replace me, it will definitely be a headache. ”
“...... Will it be?" asked Rejana, apparently unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
Su Wen smiled and said nothing, and Fei next to him gave a sure nod.
"If you don't believe me, you deliberately leave some tails or flaws behind when you pass by for a while, and then you watch the reactions of those people. Oh, and you'd better keep an eye out for your dad's reaction. ”
“............ Okay. ”
originally thought it was not a big deal, but only now did Regina realize that the political field is much more complicated than she imagined......
Purging the enemy is far less difficult than dealing with normal relations. In the case of the enemy, it is enough to destroy them vigorously and resolutely, and according to the actual degree, it is decided whether or not to draw out the deep annihilation of the same party together; but in the case of "colleagues and friendly forces," it cannot be so straightforward, and different situations must be dealt with by different means.
While trying to maintain a semblance of peace, it is also necessary to beware of people secretly stumbling and uniting who is beating whom, all of which need to be carefully considered.
At this time, Regina is at the center of the political focus, and even so, she can't act as she wants. She had to consider the impact of her actions on the situation in the court as a whole......
Headache......
It hurts even more.
Regina wailed in her heart, it seems that even if she wants to "be quiet" in the future, these people will not give themselves a chance and "the wind will not stop".
......
"The more I looked at it, the more I felt that Regina's room didn't look like a princess's place at all, and these things and decorations were obviously in the style of an academic old man...... Well, this pile of clothes ......"
Fei followed Su Wen back to Regiana's room, the finishing work inside and outside the palace is begining, it is estimated that it will last for several days, during these days, it is inconvenient for Fei, who has not fully recovered, to move around, so she can only temporarily stay in Regiana's room, an "absolutely" safe place, waiting for the limelight to pass.
Ellie had already fallen asleep because she had fought too hard and had already fallen asleep and was thrown on Regiana's sofa by Su Wen.
And Su Wen himself also felt tired because of that wave of calling.
Isn't the self in my memory so powerful, can I still be alive for a few days and nights? Why did I summon it for less than an hour last night, why can't it......
Josephine replied that she was staying in a hotel in the southern suburbs, and I said that we would come back to her after a while, so that she didn't have to care about our itinerary and went back when she should go. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
“...... Ah, am I born safely?" Fei looked around and saw that the only sofa was occupied by Ellie and a bunch of clothes, and there was no other place to sit except for the bed, but she felt that it was rude to sit on the bed directly, so she simply sat on the ground, raised her head, and looked at Su Wen.
"yes, it's safe. Su Wen looked at Fei and smiled, then looked at the clock on the wall again, and said, "Then you stay here for a while, I'll go out for a while, and I still have a little more to do." ”
"Are you going to meet your new friends? ”
"Yes. Su Wen nodded, and then as if he had thought of something, he added, "Grahan's apprentice is also among them." ”
Fei pursed her lips, obviously not having a good impression of Grahan.
After all, one is a demon hunter and the other is a blood seed.
"The current writing of this country, I don't know if you recognize it, if you don't know it, she also has the classics on the other side of the sea before, if you are bored, you can go and see it. Or do you want me to make you a bed for you?"
"You still know that I recognize the bed. Fei smiled.
"Ah, my memory is back. ”
"Then you can always have a child now, right?" Fei smiled even more meaningfully.
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, staring at Fei, looking at her, it didn't seem like she was joking, so Su Wen thought about it carefully, no matter how she recalled, there was no content about "having a child".
After being silent for a while, Su Wen's eyes became sharp: "You skin?"
Fei grinned, as if she liked to see Su Wen so serious.
