Chapter Eighty-Six: Blackening
The pre-dawn sky was a pale blue, faintly flowing with the dark color of the clouds and rain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Miyimi sat on the cold stone steps, looking up at a certain place in the daytime sky, her expression gloomy, and she wrung her eyebrows from time to time to look at the hall. And a group of people in the hall were talking about something in a low voice, as if the matter was quite complicated, and it was not over after a while.
At this time, the accompanying officials were discussing the issue of the distribution of credit.
Yes, there is no bill to deal with monsters, and there is no way to deal with refugees. Because there are not many living people left in Ossedon, and after expelling the survivors, the undead suddenly began to attack the Crystal Palace stupidly, and the guardian star has been wiped out.
It was a ridiculous and tragic victory.
But victory is victory after all, and victory in this case must be widely publicized, otherwise what will be used to dilute the anger of the people?
Since there is a victory, there is a merit, and in the case of the Valkyrie's delay, the credit for pacifying the demon disaster should naturally belong to them, the accompanying bureaucrats.
What should it go to the guardian planet?
doesn't exist, those cheap men who only know how to fight and kill are just doing their duty, and their strategizing brains are the main force. And the queen's assassination is also their dereliction of duty, not to punish is already extraordinarily gracious, honestly go cool.
As for the Queen...... Her Majesty Hilda, who doesn't care about and obeys her own words, is, of course, a wise and wise queen!
After ignoring the guardian star, they launched a fierce debate around how to reward merit and deed, and equalize benefits. The noise of tongues, guns, lips and swords is like the noise of a flock of crows, and it is particularly ridiculous under the cover of the ruined palace.
β......β
Hagen, Derru, and Tegufrel surrounded the queen, watching as Hiluda lay unconscious on the throne fell silent, as if separated from the bureaucrats who were close at hand, and did not care what they said.
Xue Du and Fei Lu stood in front of the hall, his face expressionless, like a sculpture.
Arubellisi's back leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows, her figure blending into the hazy light of the sky, like a ghost that was hidden. His eyes were hidden behind the slanted sea, and with a gloomy look, he looked at the group of bureaucrats who were fighting to the point of red-facedness.
β......β
Mi Yimei stood up from the steps, looked at the hall, passed through the figure of the accompanying bureaucrat, and threw himself at his companion by the floor-to-ceiling window, their eyes meeting out of thin air, and they both saw the deep unwillingness in each other's eyes.
At this time, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to be two heavens of ice and fire, the bureaucrats were fighting each other, and the guardian star was cold and dead. Both groups are ignoring each other with all their might, maintaining an eerie harmony.
"Look! The Queen is awake!"
Suddenly, Hagen let out a cry of surprise, and the fragile dynamic balance was shattered.
"Her Majesty!"
The bureaucrats suddenly gathered around, squeezed the guardian to the side, and crawled around Heroda like a loyal dog, looking at her with eager eyesβall hoping that they would be seen by the awakened queen for the first time.
These bastards!
Hagen clenched his fists and gritted his back molars hard, his face showing a hideous look, only to feel a cluster of evil fire rushing to his head, and the whole thing was on the verge of erupting like an active volcano awakened.
Just as the man was about to be carried away by anger and do something unpredictable, a heavy palm rested on his shoulder, and Hagen turned back vigilantly to find that it was his friend Delru.
β......β
The tallest warrior in the guardian star shook his head silently, and told the other party with lips that he should not be impulsive.
And next to Derru, as a first-class bright star, Tegufrelle did not speak, but looked at him with calm eyes, and under the seemingly silent expression, there was a bitterness that anyone could understand.
The behavior of his companion was like a bucket of cold snow poured on Hagan's head, and he loosened his fist and pursed his lips as if fleeing the germs, away from the bureaucrats.
Hiluda lay on the broad throne, draped in a snow-colored coat, her face slightly pale from blood loss, revealing a cold luster like ice and snow, and at first glance, it looked like a perfect doll with exquisite workmanship.
β......β
Her eyelids closed quietly, her chest heaving slightly, her silver-gray eyelashes fluttering occasionally, as if she were going to wake up at any moment.
"Your Majesty, wake up. β
"With your blessing, the calamity has subsided, and the blessings of God Odin will forever shine on Valhalla. β
"Goddess, it's great to see you're okay...... Woooooooooooooo
Seeing the scene in front of them, the bureaucrats immediately rushed to start improvising, some began to call diligently, some couldn't wait to sing praises, and some cried out emotionally.
In the midst of the crow's mournful noise, Hiluda tightened her eyebrows, her long, thick eyelashes moved, and then she opened them, and her sapphire eyes glowed with a cold light.
The rainbow ring spreads, and the pupils constrict, appearing a little sharp.
The goddess opened her eyes and looked at the dome coldly, a trace of deep darkness flickered in the depths of her eyes, and her emotions came to mind, and the whole person gradually came to her senses.
After a moment, Heroda silently looked up, pushed away the outstretched hand of the bureaucrat, endured the pain of the wound, and sat down on the throne of the hall again.
β......β
She sat up straight, her long silver-gray hair draped over her shoulders like tassels, her eyes a little dazed, and she glanced at the palace at a cursory glance.
"The Plague is over?" she looked at the sky.
"Yes, thanks to your blessings, we all passed together. β
"We have been fighting day and night, and we have finally stabilized the situation, but the Valkyrie Legion has not arrived for a long time, and Your Majesty should hold them accountable. β
"After His Majesty's assassination, we were unable to arrest the Assassin because of the chaos of the situation......"
They are familiar with asking for credit for good things, and take bad things lightly, and don't mention the credit of the guardian star, as if the other party is a transparent person.
Hyruda looked past them, at her guardian, and with a sense of rage at the thought of the dream's real-life scenes. But she, known for her gentleness and wisdom, doesn't know how to vent her anger, how to deal with this group of bastards who treat herself like a marionette.
At this moment, a deep voice pierced through the void and reached her ear:
"It's useless...... Let me teach you how to do it. β
In the next moment, Hilda's pupils shrank, and she suddenly lowered her head, and her face was covered by flat and slightly curly air bangs. The pair of sapphire eyes were just a blink of an eye, and suddenly a bottomless black mist filled the air, full of killing and gloomy aura, as if it was the source of all darkness.
In the deep darkness of her eyes, another Shiluda sat on her throne, with the same demeanor and temperament.
The huge and majestic shadow appeared in shape, obscuring the entire sky, and silk threads hung from the fingertips, sticking to the goddess's large and small joints, and lifting her up as if it were a marionette.
"Ugh!"
At the same time, the real-world Shiluda suddenly raised her head, her eyes dissipated from darkness, and suddenly returned to her original state, making a heavy ventilation sound. Her expression at the moment has returned to its former sacredness, but everyone can feel that there is a faint bit of indescribable majesty on the queen's body.
"Queen?"
"I'm fine!"
She held her forehead with one hand, her eyes closed slightly, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light like a blade, sweeping over the accompanying officials who were prostrate in front of her.
"How many casualties, how many survived, how many losses, did anyone count them?"
β......β
There was a sudden silence in the air, no one could answer, and the scene was very awkward for a while.
"Where is the source of the demonic disaster, is there any remnant left, what is the reason for the delay in the arrival of the Valkyrie, has anyone gone to investigate?"
β......β
The atmosphere became solemn, and the accompanying bureaucrats looked at each other and were speechless.
"Oseden was destroyed by Mayor Inoline's private army, where are these troops now, have they participated in the battle to annihilate the Demon Calamity, and is anyone accountable?"
An unquenchable anger flashed in the queen's eyes, and the cold voice rippled through the palace like a snowstorm on the flat ground.
β......β
The accompanying bureaucrats were sweating profusely and did not know how to deal with it, so they could only bow their heads and remain silent, with a grim expression on their faces. How did the queen, who only knew how to pray all day long, had no opinions, and was at her mercy like a clay statue, suddenly became so powerful, it was like a different person.
"You guys didn't do anything...... But here to ask for merit and reward, don't you think I'm very fooled?"
Hilda's face was crimson, red to the roots of her hair, and her eyes were staring at the group of corpse vegetarians. At the same time, the eyes darkened, flickered suddenly, suddenly became pitch black, and instantly returned to their original state.
"The subordinates don't dare!"
They have nothing to say but to cry out for injustice.
"You don't dare to save innocent people, you don't bother to investigate the truth, and no one does the post-disaster repair work...... Letting you shitty follow me is the biggest mistake of my life. β
She closed her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke:
"Tegufre, take down these bedbugs who only know how to slander, and I will use their heads to soothe the innocent lives of Oldenburg. β
"Yes!"
Tegufles habitually received the order, and then his expression was stunned, revealing an incredible look, and his eyes turned to Heroda, as if he felt that he was hallucinating.
"Do you need me to repeat?" she looked at him.
"Yes!"
The man immediately waved his hand, hugged the guardian star with raised eyebrows, and picked up the rope casually, trapping the group of women who usually had their eyes above the top.
"The Queen spares her life!"
"We have been wronged, wronged!"
"You can't kill an important minister without trial!"
At this time, the accompanying bureaucrats reacted and knew that she was playing for real, and they were so frightened that they were scattered, shouting grievances, begging for mercy, and pleading for defense.
"Extraordinary times, extraordinary treatment, during the period of the demonic disaster, military control should be implemented according to the law, since it is a control period, naturally there is no need to go through the usual legal procedures. β
At this time, "Hilda" knew very well that judging from the efficiency of this group of fools, I am afraid that the ugly things of the fall of Osedon will not be able to cover it. Since you can't cover it, you have to find heavyweights to take the blame, and one Honorine is not enough at all, you must add this group of waste.
And the credit of the guardian stars must be written about, after all, behind them is the goddess Freya.
The ministers can be stupid, and the queen can be confused for a while, but she must be surrounded by a group of loyal and virtuous people, so that she has a reason to repent and save the hearts of the people.
