Chapter 396: The Past That Can't Be Returned
Three days passed quickly, and on the way back, Tatsuno Makoto found that all the cities he had visited had erected flagpoles in prominent places, and a flag embroidered with a fire-breathing dragon pattern fluttered on it.
"It's a good idea, but the flag is a little too ugly. "Tatsuno Makoto in the air sincerely feels that this flag is very compatible with the Red Dragon Empire of Bellet, this seems to be a strange thing, no matter how you look at it in reality, it feels quite two.
But looking at it this way, his approach is quite effective, thinking about his own practice in the past few days, Long Ye Makoto is amused for a while.
Except for the first day, there was no need for Tatsuno Makoto to talk nonsense at all in the next two days, as long as he rushed into the city lord's mansion, he would immediately get the city lord's guarantee, and immediately send someone to think of the Red Dragon Empire as a vassal. Except for the city lord who ran into an eyeless city lord, who was blown into slag by Tatsuno Makoto in two sentences, the other city lords were very cooperative.
On the third day, the reply was that the messenger had set out, and he had decided to submit to the Red Dragon Empire with all his inhabitants. It was from this time that Makoto Tatsuno found a place to rest for a day before starting his return journey.
Thinking back to the time when he just came back, the city where he killed the city lord also hung up its flag, and it seemed that the city lord's subordinates were still very sensible.
Back at the former City Lord's Mansion in Belette, Tatsuno Makoto found Owl and the Illusionist drinking tea in their room, Moon Shadow, Zero Qi, and Shelley were also there, and several people were chatting happily.
"How can you be faster than me?" asked Makoto Tatsuno, a little puzzled, looking at the cups on the table, there should be one for himself.
"Save your stupid come back today, the two of them ran back yesterday!" Ling Qi pulled Tatsuno Makoto to sit down, and said with a smile.
"Don't you think that two days of this kind of thing is enough?" the illusionist took a sip of tea and continued: "We are going to coerce them, not to persuade, and the city lord who doesn't open his eyes should understand that there is no good end to fighting with us now, so there are more people who come to Toucheng now than there are people who watched the excitement that day." ”
Hearing this, Tatsuno Makoto understood what the illusionist meant, this was similar to what he thought when he came back, but he didn't expect them to be so single, and he came back directly when he found out about this situation, unlike himself who had stayed enough for three days before coming back.
"It's just so time you're back, go see the people who came to Toucheng, it's fun. By the way, I can also discuss the next arrangements with Bellet. The illusionist stood up excitedly, it looked like if he hadn't waited for Tatsuno Makoto to come back, he would have gone to the palace to watch the excitement.
However, Shelley didn't look at the excitement, and she looked tired, and she left after worrying about telling Tatsuno Makoto that the lost civilization had been successfully revived. Makoto Tatsuno understood her concerns, and it seemed like the illusionist and the owl hadn't told her anything.
But if you think about it carefully, what can you do if you tell Shelley? It can only only increase her troubles, in the end, the matter of Heyan still has to be solved by the three of herself, and the others can follow to save their lives.
Putting aside the depressed Shelley, who chose to go to see the lively Tatsuno Makoto and his party, soon came to the entrance of the palace. But what I didn't expect was that the guards at the door actually stopped them and said that they could only enter after passing the pass, so how could they stop these guys.
After Makoto Tatsuno told them with his fist what it meant that there was no need to pass the message, the group staggered into the palace, but at this time their mood was no longer as excited as they had just now, and everyone's mood became low.
Speaking of which, this is also the first time that Tatsuno Makoto has come to the royal palace in Bellet, and he doesn't know much about other decorations, but from a defensive point of view, this place can definitely be called a fortress, and it is also the kind of fortress built to resist powerful attacks.
When the dwarves built this place, if they didn't think that this place would be besieged, then Tatsuno Makoto absolutely didn't believe it. Even if he did it himself, it might take some time to get this place done, "It can't be that I did it just to prevent me, right?" Tatsuno Makoto suddenly had such an idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his conjecture was reliable.
Makoto Tatsuno and Bellet are going to fight hard sooner or later in the eyes of everyone, and as a dwarf, Berlet is definitely more suitable to be a leader than Makoto Tatsuno, so you must prepare for him.
It's just that this preparation is a bit too much, isn't it possible that they want to hide in this place during the battle and not come out?But what makes Tatsuno Makoto care more about it now is not this palace that looks like a turtle shell, but the contents inside.
After Tatsuno Makoto entered, he saw that the passage leading to the main hall was lined with heavily armed soldiers, and the axe in his hand knew at a glance that it was produced by the dwarves, but he didn't know if there was Shelley's blessing.
In addition to these soldiers on the surface, there were countless breaths in the shadows that locked them as soon as they entered the palace. With so many people arranged in just one passage, where did Bellet get so many people?
In Tatsuno Makoto's impression, it seems that he has never heard of Bellet going out in the past six months, so how did these guys come out of the drill? It seems that Belet, like himself, has a lot of things hidden!
The unpleasant passage finally came to an end, and the first thing Makoto Tatsuno saw when he pushed open the heavy door was Bellet sitting in the middle. At this time, he was leaning on a tall throne with a crown on his head, and at the top of the tall and spacious room were two crystal windows with carved patterns, through which the two intersecting rays of sunlight converged on the throne of Belette.
Bellet looked quite imposing in the sunlight, holding her chin with one hand and tapping lightly on the armrest of the throne with the other. With his head drooping, Enor sat back in his chair smiling, squinting at what he wasn't thinking.
More than a dozen people knelt down in front of Belette, looking like they were talking to Bellet, but they were interrupted by the arrival of Makoto Tatsuno and his party.
In addition to these people, there are several faces that have never been seen standing on both sides of the room, judging from their identities and positions, these people should be the ministers of the Belette Kingdom, and like those soldiers just now, Tatsuno Makoto still doesn't know where Bellet found these people.
Bellet didn't greet the crowd as warmly as usual, or he hadn't had time to speak. Because Makoto Tatsuno had just appeared here, in the crowd of people who were supposed to be ministers, a man with a full face and beard walked over angrily.
"Who are you!Why don't you come in without going through the rumor, where are the guards?"
Tatsuno Makoto casually pointed to the person next to him and cast an inquiring look, after all, he has been away for more than half a year, and if this person is really important, it will not be good to kill him.
However, no one really knew about this beard, so everyone could only shake their heads when they looked at Tatsuno Makoto's gaze. If no one knows it, it proves useless, Tatsuno Makoto sneered and was ready to shut him up completely.
"Othello, this is my best friend and my sister, they can see me at any time without a pass, so please don't worry about it so much. ”
Bellett's gentle voice saved the beard, but the beard didn't seem to understand the current situation, and returned to the place where he had just stood.
The sneer on his face did not disappear Tatsuno Makoto raised his eyes to look at Belette, at this time Bellet still maintained the posture just now, looking at Tatsuno Makoto with a smile, and did not mean to stand up and be polite to them at all.
On the contrary, Enor stood up from his seat, walked to Tatsuno Makoto's side in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Last time, I didn't expect to meet again after so long. Facing the familiar Enor, Tatsuno Makoto nodded with a smile and said nothing.
Ignoring Tatsuno Makoto's cold reaction, Enor continued to smile and said, "Your work efficiency is really high, and the city lord who came to surrender in the past few days has not been broken, and this is entirely your credit. ”
Amid Enore's incessant compliments, Makoto Tatsuno came to Belet. Until now, Bellet was still in the same position as before, and even the expression on his face had not changed at all.
In the entire hall, there are only Berette's throne and Enor's seat, so there is obviously no other place for Tatsuno Makoto to sit on, and Berlet seems to have deliberately ignored this question, and instead said to the kneeling people in front of him: "A few people, please continue the topic just now, since you have chosen to join the Red Dragon Empire, then all taxes are the same as before, as long as this period of time passes, I can consider making some reductions in taxes." ”
When the kneeling crowd heard these obviously empty promises, they immediately began to thank them with false affection, as if they had discussed it, and the words of praise flew out of their mouths without repeating themselves.
"Everyone, let's work together to build the Red Dragon Empire into a country where all living beings can live in peace and prosper. ”
After stylizing his lines, Belette waved them away, but when he saw the fearful gaze on these city lords when they looked at Makoto Tatsuno as they left, the leisurely smile on Belette's face gradually disappeared.
As soon as Bellette's face darkened, the bearded Othello stood up again, bowed and said defiantly: "Your Majesty Bellette, these are your friends, and they have made extremely outstanding contributions to the Red Dragon Empire. ”
Hearing this, Tatsuno Makoto knew that there must be no good words in the back, and this practice of not praising people in advance is generally to pave the way for the later words, commonly known as killing.
Sure enough, he did not live up to Tatsuno Makoto's expectations, and Othello changed his words, "But since you have become the Dragon Emperor, the proper etiquette of the monarch and the minister cannot be invalidated, otherwise you will be difficult to convince the public." ”
"Oh, so what do you mean?" asked Tatsuno Makoto with a smile at Othello.
"Although Your Majesty allows you to come to the audience at any time without passing it on, the prostration is still to be performed. Othello squinted at Makoto Tatsuno with a nonchaltical expression on his face.
"Othello, there's no need for this bowing ceremony. Bellet finally changed his position, but he still didn't mean to stand up, and said that it was not necessary, but from his eyes, Tatsuno Makoto clearly saw the expectation.
"Your Majesty, etiquette is the foundation of everything, and only standard etiquette can regulate human behavior, so this can never be abolished. ”
Othello's attitude is very resolute, and it seems that if Tatsuno Makoto doesn't kneel down today, he will definitely be entangled in this matter endlessly.
Is this what you answered me?" Tatsuno Makoto stared at Belette on the throne for a long time, and suddenly asked faintly, "What is this Mr. Othello in charge of in the Red Dragon Empire?"
"Othello Qing is mainly responsible for the 。。。。。。 of the Red Dragon Empire Before Bellet's words were finished, Tatsuno Makoto waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, no matter what he does, you can find a new person!"
As soon as the words fell, Tatsuno Makoto had already appeared beside Othello, raised his knees and legs and kicked him directly into the air, and in the process of his body rising, Tatsuno Makoto directly shook the bones and internal organs of his whole body into a ball of paste with several consecutive punches, followed by a short recitation, raised his hand and threw out a fireball to make him completely disappear into this world.
The whole process was like a cloud of peers, except for the owl and the illusionist, everyone else only saw Othello suddenly fly into the air and then turn into ashes in the fireball, as for Belette and Enor, the two guys who always felt that the strength of Tatsuno City was about the same, they only barely saw the movement of Tatsuno Makoto's legs, but the movement of the punch was not clear at all.
"Do any of you have any problems with etiquette or anything else?" asked Tatsuno Makoto, turning his head to look at the ministers who were standing with Othello.
Looking at Long Yecheng's eyes, everyone shook their heads neatly, even if there is an opinion in this situation, who dares to say it, how many people think that their lives are long?
"Is it all right?if there is any problem, don't hold it back!" Tatsuno Makoto looked at those ministers sincerely, and after finding that they couldn't say anything except shaking their heads, Tatsuno Makoto looked very bored and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any questions?"
Bellet smiled and shook her head, but her heart felt like she was overturned. Is there a problem? There are too many questions! Who is the king of the Red Dragon Empire? Your own ministers will kill you if you say it, and all the subjugated city lords are obviously afraid of your strength, and there is even such a saying that in the Red Dragon Empire, Bellet is the Dragon Emperor, and Tatsuno Makoto is the regent.
"I'll leave when it's okay, the air in this place is too stuffy and uncomfortable. Tatsuno Makoto sneered, picked up Ling Qi and walked out.
Things are like this, the excitement has become a part of the excitement instead of seeing it, and this time Makoto Tatsuno and Bellet have completely broken their faces, and no one can say what to do in the future.
"Makoto, there's something to trouble you!" Seeing that Makoto Tatsuno was about to leave, Bellet suddenly spoke, but he still didn't stand up, just sat up straight.
Makoto Tatsuno stopped but didn't turn back, and Ling Qi felt her hand tremble slightly.
"I think it's time to move all the elves over, can you leave this matter to you?" Bellet's voice didn't have the meaning of the previous discussion, but had a feeling of assigning tasks.
"I see. Tatsuno Makoto accepted it calmly, and silently pulled Ling Qi out.
Isn't moving the elves here just to confront the Supreme Council head-on? Do you think you can get rid of us in this way? Bellet, it seems that you still don't have a complete understanding of our strength!
Ling Qi, who was following Makoto Tatsuno, had already understood at this time that there was no way to go back to the past, and maybe there would be more terrible things waiting for him.
