What about the political level of the Iron Mask?

This is a question that many people want to ask, including his people, including...... His generals and officers......

Yes, during his reign, although he seemed too brutal and killed too many officials and civilians, he could say in good conscience that Reliaga, a country that was originally in a sick state, did maintain peace for a long time by such means. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not advisable to counter violence with violence, but it can also achieve miraculous results at critical moments.

It was current events that made him a king, not his brutal nature, that made him where he is today.

Even those who thought carefully about his throne knew very well that even if they were on the throne, they would not be able to do better.

After all......

He is a king, not a commoner, and at the critical moment, it is still necessary to sacrifice the small and take the big.

There are many people who live happily ever after, and that naturally ...... There are also many people who live a depressed life. In this country, which is stabilized by temporary means, the wealth itself is extremely uneven, and the cake is so big that if some people eat more, others will definitely eat less.

The outskirts of Guiyue City are a good reflection of this.

Obviously close to the capital of a country, obviously close to the most economically developed areas, these indigenous people living in the mountains and forests live a life similar to that of the slums.

Hunger, poverty, these fill people's hearts. The goal of each day is to try to survive as much as possible, and then ...... It's about figuring out how to survive tomorrow.

The resources of the mountains and forests are limited, and the alien beasts in the depths are too powerful, and just survival has become a problem.

Lin stepped into the area, listening to the screams and lamentations of various people, and for a moment even doubted......

Is the girl she knew, who was a little lily-leaning, really a complete tyrant, as some people say?

"Yo, hello. ”

A man who looked like a merchant was resting against a tree, and unlike the inhabitants in tattered rags, he was dressed very decently, with a suit and leather boots, and a gentleman's top hat, which gave him a slightly handsome feeling.

It's just that...... It's a pity that he keeps his head down, so that Lynn can't see his face.

"Huh?"

A hint of familiarity crossed the tip of Is's nose, but it quickly disappeared.

The little fellow's gaze instantly sharpened, his brow furrowed, and he bent down, from the bottom up, to see the man's face under the brim of his hat.

“...... Ah, hello. ”

When she was away, Lin lost the arrogance she had at home, and saw her put her sword horizontally in front of her and bow deeply to the man.

If you don't know, you'll really think she's a well-educated girl.

"Where do you want to go, you two? This is not the place where you children of noble families come from. ”

As if he didn't want Isis to see his face, the man turned around and leaned behind the tree after speaking. Its slender body, combined with its handsome posture, made Lin sigh "so handsome" in her heart.

"Hmm...... We were looking for something and happened to be passing by......"

Iss had been looking for an angle to see the other side's face, and had no idea of speaking, so Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk to the businessman-like man.

"Hmm...... Passing by here......"

As he spoke, the man said something meaningful, and his tone seemed to contain a little helplessness.

"What's wrong?"

The tone on the other side was very strange to Lin, and she saw that the girl's head was tilted, and she asked like this.

"I don't know if you know, little girl, how Relaga won the previous battle between Reliaga and Balova?"

Inexplicably, the man asked such a question.

"Hey...... I remember that it seemed that it was with the help of the powerful alien beasts in the mountains and forests along the way to create chaos, let them kill each other, and the weather assisted, to win the victory. ”

Poking her lips and thinking for a moment, Lynn said.

"Well, no, you know pretty well, little girl. ”

"Hee-hee-hee, no, it's just an occasional conversation. ”

Of course, Lin is very aware of the process of this war, after all, the person who controls everything is the mysterious man who saved his life.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that there was no whereabouts for him now, Lin really wanted to thank him.

Of course, even now, his appearance is even more stinky than Is, and Lynn still hates it very much.

"That. Have you ever thought about how many strange beasts you would encounter if you walked over like this?"

“......”

Lin was silent, and when she said this, she also understood the meaning of his words.

Ahead, it is the place where you need to go, but it is different from the small village near Guiyue City, it is a world of alien beasts. The forest and long grass form a natural labyrinth, not to mention, the monsters that inhabit it are already a headache.

In fact, even if it is an army or a mercenary, when they leave Guiyue City, they will basically choose Duda Road. Alien beasts, of course, are just some monsters that act with fangs and claws, and their IQ is not very high, but their combat skills and fighting experience are already superior to those of humans, and they are not something that some rookies can beat.

The weaker ones are all alien beasts, while the stronger ones can even rival the generals of some countries, and have the strength of the illusionary heart and even the sacred heart.

As the king of a country, considering the importance of business, he once spent a lot of money and manpower, hoping to catch all the strange beasts that live near Guiyue City, so that people can enter and exit the capital with peace of mind.

During this period, a total of more than ten troops, including the Knights, were dispatched, but without exception, none of them returned.

Since then, no one has dared to enter the forest casually, except for the indigenous people outside Guiyue City who have to go out in search of food. Even a Sacred Heart powerhouse of Zajira's level rarely took such a risk.

That...... As Lin who is only at the peak of the illusion heart and Is, who is basically a mortal, will it be safe for the two of them to go over?

The answer, of course, is no.

"Well, we...... What to do?"

Considering that he was basically a weak chicken, Lin weakly asked the other side's opinion.

"Either find someone with stronger strength to be your bodyguard, or ......"

As he spoke, the man pulled the brim of his hat down and turned away in a very chic manner.

"Go back to sleep. ”

“...... What, after saying a lot of things like an idiot, I left inexplicably. ”

When the others disappeared, Iss said in the same place.

"At least...... It doesn't look like a bad guy......"

Still holding the sword, Lynn stood still, stunned and gave her opinion.
