Chapter 47: Kings
"It's hard to get used to that sneaky little imp not following you. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info" Shadow poured Albert a glass of wine and pushed it across the table.
The table was covered with dust and rubble, and the room looked like a mess. The two guards brought by Albert quietly blocked between Lin Qiu and Albert, opening a safe area for the two. Although Ying didn't say anything, he was slightly stunned in his heart - judging from his breath, these two people knew that they were not idle people, and the two of them didn't say a word, standing there like a natural copper wall.
These two men belonged neither to the Kingdom Army nor to the Church.
"The people of the Senate. Shadow came to a positive conclusion.
"As sad as Kroll's rebellion is, who knows if it's a gain or a loss?" Albert laughed as he drank a glass of wine.
"Maybe it's just a brief shadow. ”
"Tsk, it's a spirit. Albert did not directly respond to Ei's statement: "I am here this time for the kings' banquet. ”
"Listen up. ”
"As of today, there are 4 kings, 6 princesses, and 7 princes who have arrived in the imperial capital, and except for the frequent visitors of the royal families of Paladin and Ewing who are in private residences, everyone else is currently living in the royal palace. It's really good, looking at these people, it's like seeing the whole picture of Herutia. The Feast of Kings is truly the highest masterpiece created by my ancestors...... But the fly in the ointment is that at the King's Banquet decades ago, my father shared this beauty with others. ”
"It was a compromise in times of war. Shadow added.
A few decades ago, Albert was talking about, a time when two continents were at war. The protracted war made the surprise of the two systems unmistakable, and the disadvantages of Helutia's looseness were magnified by the centralization of the Byronic Empire, when the passive warfare of the kingdoms was evident.
At the end of the day, the kings did not believe that the Horuthian League, with its church, would fall.
"I know. I have also heard that in order to solve the dilemma of the time, my father and you had a long night of talking, and finally a decision was made to give the kings the power of self-government. This is indeed a clever plan, fighting for oneself is always much better than consuming soldiers and horses for the imperial capital. ”
"The purpose of your trip ......" Shadow vaguely guessed the purpose of Albert's trip.
"I have heard that you were once a mentor and friend to my father, so I can turn a blind eye to the destruction of the Floating Dream Palace, or your previous private meeting with the Hundred Winds, and personally, I admire your talents, so on the eve of the King's Feast, I have come to ask you for some advice on how to behave in the world. ”
Shadow looked Albert in the eye and said nothing.
"Decentralization is a smart thing to do in times of war, but it is debatable in times of peace, and although I personally don't take some things to heart, in recent years more and more forces have stopped taking the imperial capital into account...... The secession of the Kingdom of Talon, the opposition of the Fifth Kingdom, these things can make the people who follow me panic all day long, so. ”
Albert's smile was a little gloomy: "Now that the war is over, should I take back the things that my father lent out?"
"There are some things that are lent out, but it's not so easy to get them back. ”
"Understood. That's why I need your help. ”
"Oh?"
"I have arranged a sword competition at the King's Banquet, and you, as a world-famous sword master, hope that you will preside over this competition at that time. ”
"That's it?"
"Hmm. My father was good at ruling kingdoms with mercy, but I failed to carry on his ideals while he was alive, so I had to use the oldest but effective means. ”
Iron and blood.
Albert is a firm believer in the power of fear to change hearts.
"So, what exactly is the problem you want to call me?" asked Ei, even though he had already guessed Albert's intentions.
"I regret the death of Baifeng, but the vacant work always has to be completed. When I think about it, it seems that the only person who knows what her job is about is you, who is a friend. ”
Shadow lowered his head and played with the dice Gu in his hand, but did not immediately respond to Albert.
"I don't have to answer immediately, I want to hear your well-thought-out answer. I'll call someone to repair the damaged part of the Floating Dream Palace as soon as possible, but I sincerely hope that your force field is not shaken by some trivial matters. Albert got up and glanced at the sleeping Lin Qiu meaningfully.
He raised his hand as a farewell.
......
"It's going well. Shen Hai gently tapped the back of Lin Qiu's head, waking him up from his trance. Lin Qiu was sweating profusely, and when the deep sea woke him up, Fuyue's scarlet eyes gradually returned to their usual state.
He was still sitting on the edge of the cliff.
Lin Qiu moved his wrist: "Really, why do I think it's no different." ”
Not only that, but he also felt a little backache and leg cramps. This made him wonder what the deep sea had done while he had fallen into a trance.
"Get up and practice your sword. The swordsmanship figure who appeared behind him at some point said expressionlessly.
In Lin Qiu's impression, the three most said words of the swordsmanship humanoid were "Get up, don't run, don't be lazy" him. This fully reflects the ups and downs of his sword training process.
"I understand the deep sea, you want me to be exhausted and then send a swordsmanship human form to duel with me!But these are useless, I already understand, things like 'close your eyes and you will suddenly become stronger', 'after exhausting the battle, you will become stronger' are all rumors!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" the swordsmanship man urged.
Lin Qiu seriously suspected that this thing's character had inherited the shadow, and the current number one enemy, Grela, was smiling when she was slashing people, how could she look impatient with such a straight face.
"Before practicing the sword, please use this cloth to cover your eyes. Shenhai handed the white cloth prepared in advance to Lin Qiu.
"Didn't I say that? These are all rumors, don't think that two rumors put together will have a negative and positive effect. In my opinion, it's time to let me rest for a while, and then look for a breakthrough when I'm in good spirits, hey, deep sea! Don't do anything to me......"
Lin Qiu's voice suddenly stopped.
The moment the deep sea blindfolded him, he suddenly felt that everything around him had changed.
Everything became clearly discernible, no matter how subtle the sounds and smells were under his control. This feeling is indescribable, although he can't see the swordsmanship human form, he feels that the other party's every move is in his own perception.
What's going on?
"Master, please make good use of this power. ”
In the next second, the swordsmanship humanoid suddenly drew his sword and attacked Lin Qiu.
