101: Situation
"Do you know my father?" Aslan asked curiously.
The master of Sanzhai recalled with a look of recollection, but with a look of guilt: "I used to admire your father very much, he is a very powerful person, and I am fortunate to know him." It's a pity that it ...... later"
Aslan recalled what the Michelian butler had said to him before he left: "What happened later?"
"Later, I was afraid of being involved in the whirlpool of imperial politics, so I almost cut off contact with the outside world, and our Yunzhai happened to be on the border of the forest that no one cared about. So it's been very calm until now. The Lord of the Three Villages looked at Aslan and said apologetically: "I heard that your Flying Heaven City is because of food, but in fact, it was caused by the hand of the devil, and the hand of the devil was what your father sealed in Yunzhai at the beginning. ”
"But looking at the way you are now, and your powerful and mysterious army, it's really good that you are a tiger father without a dog. Master Patrick had given me a lot of help in his life, and I swore that I would protect the demon's hand, and I ......" The Sanzhai Lord lowered his head guiltily.
"It's okay, that's all over, and our Flying City is now slowly back on track. Aslan smiled casually.
"Alas, there was really no way to do it at that time, but I didn't expect it to be peaceful here. The master of the three villages looked at the messy ruins next to him and sighed.
Aslan heard the hidden meaning in the words of the master of Sanzhai: "Master Sanzhai, you just said that something happened to you, and you were so indifferent from the outside world." ”
"Well, it's a long story. Since you asked, Lord Aslan, I have nothing to hide, and if you tell you, you can also be a little guarded. The master of Sanzhai began to talk about the things of the year slowly.
Aslan listened quietly.
"That's the way it is. ”
Aslan's heart was very surprised at this time, he didn't expect that under the quiet empire, there would be such an undercurrent, he originally thought that he could develop in Feitian City for a few years.
"Lord Sanzhai, then do you know that those people from the royal family are going to make trouble in the empire. And what factions are we divided into in the south!" Aslan began to frantically replenish the knowledge he lacked.
The master of the three villages was a little surprised and said: "Don't you know any of this, didn't your father explain anything to you when he passed on the throne to you?"
Aslan rubbed his head embarrassedly and said, "My father didn't tell me this, since I became the city lord, I have been concerned about how to restore the prosperity of Flying City to its previous prosperity. So I know almost zero about that. ”
The master of Sanzhai smiled, and he said, "Since you are willing to listen to me, then I, an old man, will tell you everything." ”
The lord of the three villages said and looked at the northeast, which was the direction of the imperial capital: " I don't know who exactly is there and what the conspiracy is, but our empire has had two forces a long time ago, one is a few princes in the royal family who are close to the church, and the other is the heir of the royal family who is backed by some old ministers, and they are generally the first heirs in line, but in recent years, another new force has emerged, this force is dominated by the princess of the current empire, and it is supported by some emerging nobles, and the most important thing is that His Majesty appreciates the princess very much. ”
Aslan was a little puzzled, since she was the eldest princess, she should be the first heir in line, but why didn't the old ministers support this eldest princess before, Aslan expressed the doubts in his heart.
The third master smiled and said: "Actually, there are many reasons for this matter, the first is that our human empire does not have the practice of a woman being the emperor, so even if she is the eldest princess, she has no right to succeed to the throne." The second point is the identity of the eldest princess, the eldest princess is not actually a pure human, her mother is an elf. ”
"Elf!" Aslan was a little surprised.
"Yes, this is a well-known news, her mother's elf was actually when His Majesty was still a prince, he accidentally fell in love with an elf, and His Majesty took that elf back to the imperial capital, at that time everyone in the royal family protested against their union, but then for some unknown reason, the emperor at that time, His Majesty's father, agreed to their union. It's a pity that God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the elf gave birth to His Majesty the current eldest princess, but the elf died for unknown reasons. ”
"In other words, this eldest princess is actually a half-elf!" Aslan understood the truth, how could a human empire be willing to let a half-elf take power.
"Yes, I have to say that this eldest princess is indeed very powerful, not only has a strong magical talent since she was a child, but she is also very good at all kinds of politics, and even has a lot of achievements at a young age. If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, or a half-elf, the throne would have been hers. ”
"And the other question you asked, the current form of our southern border, is actually obvious now, since the imperial capital's management of various places has become more and more lax, the lords of those factions have also revealed their own purposes. It can be said that the southern border is also about to start chaos!"
"Let's start with the first force mentioned before, which is to support other heirs, their power can be said to be the most vulnerable in the empire, but they also have a lot of strength, all because of their backer church. And the strength of the faction that supports the first heir, that is, the current second prince, is the greatest, and the most obvious thing in our southern border alone is the earl of the Blood Yao Fortress, followed by the emerging lord of the Blood Seal City, and there are many others, large and small, because of the help of those old ministers, so the second prince also has a lot of lords from all over the world. ”
"The eldest princess is very shallow in this regard, because the people who support her are the new nobles, and most of them do not have their own territories. But Princess Celestia has a very close relationship with the Wizards' Guild. ”
"Here I want to say that in addition to those city lords who have factions, there are many who remain neutral, and the neutrality of our southern territory is led by Bear Eagle City, and they all maintain a wait-and-see attitude. ”
............
Time passed slowly, and this exchange with the master of Sanzhai made Aslan gain a lot.
"Master Sanzhai is so grateful that you can tell me so many things, thank you so much. Aslan thanked him sincerely.
"It's okay, these are trivial things, we should go back, you have come all the way here, the road must be very hard, wait a minute, I will ask Zoros to arrange for your soldiers to rest well." The master of Sanzhai said with a smile.
"Thank you so much!"
