Your Majesty, the time is almost up. [Reading Network]"A voice came flutteringly

"Haven't those pesky guys gone yet?" said Yoland, who looked a little tired as he closed the scroll on his desk and rubbed his brow with his hand.

"You haven't made a decision yet, how dare they go?" A gray figure appeared behind Yolande and gently put on a fox fur cloak for Yoland: "Your Majesty, winter is coming, you have to pay attention to your body." ”

"It's really been a real winter for me, because I'm going to admit it...... I'm old. Yolande smiled and stood up from his throne.

"Your Majesty, if you don't want to, you can leave those people alone. The tone of the gray figure, which had been very humble, suddenly became cold, and the temperature of the air also dropped, as if winter had come early: "As long as I have a breath, no one can force me to be king!"

"I remember the first time I heard you say that, I was very young, how many years have I be......en? Thirty years, right?" Yoland's eyes narrowed, as if remembering something: "For more than thirty years, you have been by my side, like the most loyal shadow, for my sake you have even forgotten yourself, seriously, old man, I owe you too much in this life. ”

At this time, a bell sounded faintly in the distance, and the gray shadow listened sideways: "Your Majesty, the time is coming, haven't you made a decision yet?" It seems that the shadow is very unaccustomed to revealing his inner emotions, and actually changed the topic under the pretext of changing the topic.

"They'll wait for me. Yolande smiled: "Patience and ambition go hand in hand. If they don't have that patience, what right do they have to sit here. After saying that, Yolande tapped the throne a few times with the scepter in his hand, and his expression was playful, exclamation, and playfulness, but there was no respect. The scepter and the throne represent the supreme right of dominion, and no one can tolerate desecration, and if the civil and military dignitaries were still here, they would definitely be stunned on the spot, and they might even think that there was something wrong with Yoland's sanity.

"Your Majesty, you ......"

"Don't be nervous. I'm just venting. Yolande smiled and raised the scepter to his eyes, carefully observing whether there were any traces left on the scepter, like a child who vented his anger on a toy and was afraid that the toy would be damaged afterwards: "You know, old man, I had to sit here because only by sitting here can I accomplish my ideals." ”

"Your Majesty, I think no one knows you better than I do. The gray figure's voice became muffled.

"Young people are always overly optimistic, and I only now understand that ideals often become utopians. A faint wry smile appeared at the corner of Yoland's mouth.

"Your Majesty. I remember you once said something thought-provoking. ”

"Oh, what's that? I've said so many thought-provoking things, you don't tell me how I can remember. Yolande laughed: "Sometimes, when I cough and look at anyone, it makes people think deeply, and they can't find the answer here, and they can't even sleep well when they go back." ”

The gray figure couldn't cry or laugh, and the atmosphere of sighing for the twilight suddenly disappeared: "Your Majesty, you said that as long as you have worked hard for your ideals. You won't have any regrets. You also said that one has to learn to enjoy the process of hard work. From your accession to the throne until now, you have been working for the strength of the empire and the elimination of bad government, you ......"

"That's a lie. Yolande interrupted the black figure with a smile: "Losers always find ways to comfort themselves, and so do I." Enjoy the process? hehe...... A farmer working with his face to the loess and his back to the sky. What he wanted was a harvest, a blacksmith. Sweating in front of a hellish furnace. He wants results, and I, I want a new and powerful Maao Empire! If you had told them earlier. Their efforts will not pay off, will they still try?"

"This ......," the gray figure didn't know how to answer.

"Don't believe what the bards say, no amount of philosophy is as good as a handful of wheat, and sometimes, don't believe me, I know how to deceive people better than the bards. Yolande straightened his robes for a moment, and then pondered.

The gray figure sighed lightly and closed his mouth, but who knew that after waiting for a long time, Yolande still remained motionless, and the bell rang outside, and the gray figure couldn't wait any longer, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, you haven't made a decision yet?" or else...... Let's go to Chris's, it's his birthday after all. ”

"No, since he has already made his decision, let's not make trouble for him, we must respect his decision. ”

"You mean to go to Granddon?"

"He's smart, he's brave, he's got a lot of perseverance, and he's the most like me when I was younger. ”

"I'm a little confused, are you complimenting Grandon or yourself?" the gray figure laughed.

"I'm reminiscing about that time. Yolande sighed, "I like him very much, but he is also the person I am most worried about, because."

In my eyes, he is like a bird in spring, only knowing the warmth of spring, but not understanding the irritability of summer, the depression of autumn, and the cruelty of winter, which also blames me for letting him go too smoothly. ”

"Grandon has a deep affection for you, didn't Thor say it, when the news of your misfortune in the magic circle reached the front line, Grandon fainted on the spot, and then cried and fainted several times, in contrast, West is indifferent to you, he is only busy dealing with those ministers. ”

"As an overseer of the Northern Front, trying to attack the enemy with his own cry?" said Yoland, shaking his head.

"That's better than West. The gray figure said, in fact, he knew that he shouldn't express too many opinions on this kind of issue, but he was very disgusted with West, the high-level magician of the water system who tried to assassinate Yolander was brought by West, fortunately he found out about Brunfield's abnormal behavior at that time, what if he didn't find out? Although after careful investigation at that time, it could be proved that West did not participate in the assassination, but he was jealous in his heart, and he never wanted to see West gain the upper hand in the competition.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Yolande smiled: "Let's go to West, Philip will go too, he and West have been very close lately, you know that he has been holding on to me these days, for me, today is a rare opportunity to mediate." ”

"The older the old guy gets, the more eccentric he becomes!" Speaking of Philip, the tone of the gray figure became very unkind: "When encountering things, he always puts the responsibility on others, how can he not think about it, if he hadn't doted on Zeda so much, would Zeda have become a gentleman? ”

"There's nothing wrong with doting, and Thor dotes on Nya too, but he's not the blind doting of Philip. Yolande sighed softly, "I still remember the time when Nia ran into the palace late at night, shouting for help. ”

"I remembered, too. The gray figure laughed.

"But in any case, Philip also made great contributions to the Empire, and I value his merits more than his personal character. Yolande said slowly: "Philip is also old, I have a good start with Philip, as long as he is not too excessive, I will definitely defend him and give him a good death." ”

"Your Majesty, you must not let go of your mouth on this matter!" said the gray figure with a straight face, "Otherwise, God knows what Philip will do." ”

"He didn't dare. Yolande said lightly. Yolande often makes self-evaluations, and his evaluation is very pertinent, for example, he knows that he is inferior to Béeri in military affairs, and is not as good as the prime minister in political affairs, his biggest advantage is that he is good at recognizing people and employing people, which is not boasting, from the succession to the present, Yolande does rarely miss people, and now when it comes to Philippe, he also thinks that everything is under control. But this time Yolande was wrong, a man who knew that his death was near, and his heart was full of hatred that he could not let go, then what he did was likely to become extremely insane. Looking at the old feelings, Yolande tries to draw a perfect end to Philip's legendary life, but the gestures of goodwill and reconciliation he makes will be transformed into a disguised support for Philip.

The gray figure was silent, although he was also a peak powerhouse, but he had a huge difference from Thor, Philip and others, his life was saved by Yoland, his parents were buried by Yoland, and his enemy was killed by Yolande for him, since that day he regarded himself as Yoland's most loyal servant, and his painstaking cultivation was only to better protect his master, so to speak, for the sake of Yoland, he did not hesitate to hurt anyone, even if it was Yoland's own son!

Over the past few decades, he has personally created a terrible spy force for Yoland, and his heart has gradually become deeply hidden, and even learned to hide from Yolande to do something he thinks is right, Philip is unwilling to obey Yoland's orders, then he has subconsciously regarded Philip as his enemy, during this time, he often contacted Philip's most important student Sean, and reached a subtle understanding, in fact, if Yolande and Sean can meet, what is achieved is not a subtle understanding, but a clear allegiance, but he dare not do that, because Yolande is a nostalgic person, and will not allow him to secretly calculate Philip。

Yolande walked slowly to the front of the temple gate, suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled: "Guess, what did I think of just now?"

"Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me, how many people can guess your heart?"

"It may seem to you that I am choosing an heir, but to me it seems like I am looking for someone who can defeat me. ”

"Your Majesty, you are really ......" the gray figure showed a look of laughter and tears again.

"Actually, in the face of time, all people are losers. Shaking his head, Yolande pushed open the door of the temple, and outside was a group of silent ministers.
