Chapter 261: Prince Bolton
Chino continued to flip through the newspaper, and later recorded some interesting facts about Burton's life.
For example, while other babies were crying when they were born, Burton laughed and choked on the amniotic fluid.
While other children learn to stand at almost 1 year old, Bolton is already able to walk waddling as soon as he is fully moon.
There are other deeds that sound like a macho man, such as being sent to the military camp by his father at the age of 6 and being trained as a kingdom warrior since he was a child.
At the age of 8, he overturned an adult gladiator in a wrestling and threw him into bed for a month.
The 12-year-old has grown to 1.98 meters tall and weighs 217 kilograms, and can grab the tail of the ox with one hand and drag the ploughing ox backwards.
At the age of 15, he was promoted to the first sequence "Flame", the power of the sun awakened, and he killed an earthly dragon with his bare hands on the night of adulthood.
At the age of 16, he was promoted to the second sequence of "Candle Bearers", and his command ability emerged, and he could command several legions at the same time to fight together, and he was promoted to the top position with his strength, and began to guard the frontier for his father.
At the age of 23, he was promoted to the third sequence "Iron Blood", and after the experience of blood and fire on the battlefield, he has transformed into one of the best generals in Dogulander, participated in and commanded more than 100 border battles, and returned to the heart.
At the age of 25 this year, Bolton is not far from the realm of the "Conqueror" in the fourth sequence, with extraordinary potential, and the qualifications to fight in the frontier all year round, coupled with the miraculous feats of winning the Battle of Bloody Sands, he is highly regarded in the army and has a bright future.
Chino flipped through it and found that there was a dynamic news item behind it.
Ordinary news is written in pen and ink, or drawn by an artist, and is completely static.
Dynamic news is drawn by a soul magician using soul power, and the faces and voices of the interviewee can be dynamically drawn on it - similar to the newspaper in Harry Potter that Chino read in his previous life.
Chino tore the "soul stick" that sealed the dynamic news, and the picture in the newspaper moved.
The time on the screen should be shortly after the end of the decisive battle, and Bolton is covered in blood, but judging from his energetic appearance, the blood on his body should be the enemy's.
A newspaper official respectfully asked, "Dear Prince Bolton, after months of fierce fighting, the kingdom army has won a decisive victory!" Would you like to reveal why the royal family decided to start this war in the first place? ”
Bolton said angrily, "Do you need a reason for this? The people of Shilin Town have been slaughtered, and we must kill these desert cubs, otherwise no one will be afraid of us in the future! ”
The newspaper clerk smiled a little embarrassedly, although it was such a reason, but why did he talk so roughly... He continued, "Your Royal Highness, is there anyone you would like to thank in particular on this triumphant occasion?" ”
Without hesitation, Bolton said, "Of course, thanks to all the Kingdom warriors who fought alongside me. ”
The newspaper officer winked at Bolton secretly, signaling that he would thank his father and add face to His Majesty.
But who knows, Bolton seems to be mistaken, he saw that the newspaper official kept blinking, and said bluntly: "Oh yes, thank you, it's hard to follow the army all the way." ”
The newspaper official wanted to cry without tears, and tried to change the topic: "Your Royal Highness, it is rumored that in this decisive battle, the 'Desert Holy Lord' escaped from the battlefield by luck and was extremely embarrassed, do you have anything to say about this?" ”
Bolton hammered hard in the chest, shaking off a large amount of blood, and said viciously, "She'd better not get caught by me, or I'll let her come and smack me-"
The newspaper officer hurriedly interrupted: "Hey, thank you, thank you, Prince Burton, this is the end of our interview." ”
End of dynamic news.
Seeing this, Chino smiled helplessly, Bolton is really the same as rumored, a rough man who grew up in the military camp, not pretentious, upright, rude, not at all like the royal family and nobles, it is estimated that all the talent points are on military talent.
It's just that I don't know who commissioned the information seized from the Blood Assassin Society last month, the golden assassination warrant with Bolton's name written on it...
Burton's upright and rude character is indeed easy to offend people, but being able to offend someone to be written a golden assassination warrant has nothing to do with character, and is obviously caused by other reasons.
Now that there is no information, and it is the time of the reincarnation invasion, it is obvious that investigating the golden assassination order about Bolton is not the first priority, so Chino puts away the newspaper and returns to the room.
As soon as Chino passed by the dormitory, he heard the sound of two girls screaming from inside Solandelle's house.
When I knocked on the door and went in, Solandale and Lorna also had a copy of the "Daily Chronicle" in their hands, and they were smiling happily, obviously encouraged by the news of the great victory in the frontier.
Solandelle waved the newspaper at Chino and jumped excitedly: "Nonono, come and see, my brother has won a big battle!" ”
Lorna jumped and stomped and somersaulted in the house: "I'm mad, I'm mad!" I didn't even know that the desert was fighting, otherwise I would have to fly in the scarlet night to help! Armageddon for hundreds of thousands of people! I've never seen such a big scene in my life! ”
"I just read the newspapers outside and it's a great win indeed." Chino sat down next to Solandelle and touched her head with a smile, "It sounds like you have a very close relationship with Prince Burton. ”
Solandale grinned and said, "I have a very close relationship with my two older brothers, they grew up watching me!" I love them so much and they love me too~"
Lorna sighed, "That's great! I'm different, I'm an only child, I don't have much contact with my relatives' children, and I've been alone since I was a child. But luckily, I met Solan when I was 5 years old and had a close childhood playmate, otherwise my childhood would have been too boring. ”
Solandale suddenly sneered, "I remember the time you fought with Brother Burton..."
Seeing Lorna smiling awkwardly, Chino was a little curious: "Why did you get into a fight with Burton?" ”
Lorna smiled sheepishly, "It was a few years ago, when I was only 12 years old. Burton and I were arguing about who had a better relationship with Solan. He said he was Solan's own brother, and of course he was better. I said that Solan and I grew up playing and of course I was better. Fighting, fighting, we fought. ”
Chino was full of question marks: "That's it?" ”
"Uh-huh." Lorna nodded cutely.
Chino was speechless, these two people are really stupid, they can fight???
What's even more silly is Boton, an adult, who can pull down his face to fight with a 12-year-old child, and I don't know what kind of weirdo he is.
"And then? Which of you won? Chino was curious about the outcome of the two men fighting each other.
Lorna raised her chin triumphantly: "We fought for more than half an hour, and no one was convinced, and then he punched my baby teeth, and I broke the bridge of his nose with a backhand elbow, and finally was pulled away by the elders who rushed over, and I couldn't hit the end." ”
"However, my teeth came back and the bridge of his nose is still crooked. I should have won it~"
"Cow." Apart from this word, Chino no longer knows how to evaluate it.
Lorna grinned, "But don't think that I have a feud with Bolton~ Although we fought, our relationship was better than before the fight - he invited me to a drink afterwards, saying that he had never seen such a brave girl as me, and I thanked him for knocking my crumbling baby teeth away. In this way, we became good friends~"
This is not unexpected, the two Hanhan fights, most of them are plots of sympathy and reconciliation in situ after the fight.
Solandale held his face, his blue eyes were full of longing: "I really admire Brother Bolton, he trained in the military camp at the age of 6, and at the age of 25, he has become a general who has become a powerful general. When I was 6 years old, I couldn't even ride a horse... Hey, I don't know what I'll be able to achieve when I'm 25~"
"I just hope that Brother Bolton will always be safe! Become the greatest prince of all time!
Chino looked at Solandale with a longing on his face, speechless for a while, and his thoughts were a little complicated.
This young girl may not have realized what it means to be "ruthless and the most emperor".
No matter what world you are in, whether it is in a previous life or here, human nature is universal, and the same is true of imperial power.
The history of the previous life is needless to say, it is an honor to be born in the emperor's family, but it is also a curse, the prince and princess will have a supreme position, but they are destined to be involved in fratricidal disputes, which is inevitable.
Pertheus is 52 years old this year, although he is a transcendent being, he is also a king above ten thousand people, and all kinds of longevity treasures are offered, and he can theoretically live for a long time.
But no matter how long the life expectancy, he is a mortal after all, and he can't resist the laws of nature.
Perseus's age had begun to move away from the prime of life and inevitably entered old age, and sooner or later the king had to face a problem - the crown prince.
The throne of the Kingdom of Dogurand is an undisputed "inheritance system", and the next king must be the biological son and daughter of this generation of kings, unless the direct heir dies, it is possible for the collateral relatives to inherit.
Therefore, apart from those uncontrollable accidents, there are only three candidates for the future crown prince, and they can only be these three - the second prince Andrei Doguland, the seventh prince Bolton Van Dogoland, and the ninth princess Solandel Van Dogoland.
In fact, it is said that Perseus's eldest son, the eldest prince, is also alive, but this person is never mentioned by the royal family, and for whatever reason, he must have been excluded from the crown prince candidate.
Throughout the history of Dokuland, it was also a patriarchal country, with no queen among the twenty-four generations of kings.
The ending of the princess is nothing more than marrying away from home and leaving home for half her life; Or after the crown prince ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his power, he found an excuse to trap him, exile him, and directly kill the killer ruthlessly.
Occasionally, there are a few lucky princesses who have no ambition of their own, no power in their hands, neither dead nor popular hearts, and do not pose any threat to the throne.
The drunken gold fans of the royal family are just flashy, and no one can erase the blood curse hidden underneath.
Whether there will be a bloody battle for the crown prince in the future in the Kingdom of Doguland depends on Percius's means as the king, whether he can arrange the affairs of the crown prince properly, and whether the five major royal families and the nobles of all parties will be implicated, which is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two now.
But there is no doubt that no matter how good and favored Solandale is with her two older brothers, it will be difficult to escape this curse in the end.
At present, Perseus is alive, and Andre and Bolton will never dare to make any moves, even if they have the intention of making waves.
And Solandelle is young, a little girl, ignorant, innocent and cute, and the two brothers should be spoiled.
But when Solandale grew up, came into contact with the core of the kingdom's power, and began to have conflicts of interest with his brothers in the battle for the crown prince, coupled with the aging of Pertheus and the decline of influence, it is really hard to say whether the family bond will deteriorate at that time.
Politics is essentially an extension of the military, and the battle for the crown prince is the same.
If he didn't have the right to fight, even if his father forced the crown on his head, he wouldn't be able to wear it for a few days.
Bolton was reused by Perseus since he was a child, guarding the frontier for his father, and was quite prestigious in the army, and now he has made great achievements in the Battle of Blood Sand...
As a younger sister, Solandelle should indeed be proud of her brother. But she may not realize that as a princess, what she should feel is not pride, but crisis.
Of course, some things are too far away for now, Solandale is too young, only 12 years old, and 4 years old from adulthood, how can he understand these truths.
These heavy things should not be told to Solandelle now, and even if they were to say it, it would be pointless, so Chino let her hold the newspaper and tell her about her longing for Brother Burton.
At that moment, a raven flew to the window in search of the scent and very spiritually pecked at the window with its beak.
"Tuk-tuk."
Chino opened the window, took the letter from the raven's feet, opened it and read it.
Lorna leaned in curiously and probed her brain: "Is it a new battle report?" ”
Solandale hurriedly pulled her back and whispered, "Don't peek, it may be some secret, it's not good to peek..."
"It's okay, look, it's just a regular order, not some classified military information." Chino casually handed the letter back to the two girls and said, "The Great Desert Expeditionary Force has begun to withdraw in batches, and it will no longer march from the province of Feiyuan in a unified manner, but will enter the nearest customs for rectification. There are several legions to be received here in Twilight, and Prince Bolton's personal guard will enter from Thundercloud City in 5 days. ”
After reading the letter, Lorna shook Solandale's shoulder excitedly: "I'll take you to the desert to find Boton!" Your brother has been fighting since the beginning of the year, and he will definitely want to kill you by now, so let's go surprise him! ”
Solandale really wanted to go to Boton, and when she thought that her brother had been fighting for the kingdom for so long, she must have been homesick, so she really wanted to accompany Boton and reunite with his brother and sister.
But I'm a guest, and I came to Twilight City to play without saying hello, and now I'm suddenly leaving, which is more or less rude...
Seeing that Solandel was hesitant, Chino already understood, nodded to her and said, "You just have to go, I will be very busy receiving other legions here, and I will definitely not have time to play with you at that time." But you should pay attention to safety when you go to find Boton, and don't forget that it is a desert, although the kingdom army has won a complete victory, it is difficult to guarantee that the desert forces will launch a counterattack. ”
"It's okay, we'll stay in the army, and we won't run around." Lorna patted her slender little arm and said with great ambition, "If the enemy dares to organize a counterattack, with me and Scarlet Night here, and with Bolton's personal guard legion, we will definitely capture that Desert Holy Lord back!" ”
