Chapter 95: Accountability for Government Affairs
The Qinyue King has also been in the country for more than a thousand years, and although its reputation has not been very good, it has finally come down. As early as the 300th year of the Qinyue Kingdom, the capital of the Qinyue www.biquge.info King was established under the financial support of several major dukes of the Lobright Empire at that time, and it has a history of hundreds of years.
As the royal capital of a country, it is not at all comparable to the small cities and commercial ports such as Love Harbor along the way, and its city walls are at least hundreds of magic power cannons purchased from the Mogit Alliance.
This kind of cannon is said to have a range of ten kilometers, and it is extremely powerful, even if a warrior who advances to the knight level, it is a dead end if he is shot. The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy, and it can only be used with a special magic stone made by the Mogit Alliance to exert its power. And this kind of magic stone is only available in the Mogit Alliance, and if you want to get it, you can only exchange it for magic stone ore.
But that ratio made the masters of the major kingdoms feel distressed. Although it is said that they know that they are slaughtered, they also have a number of stocks with a considerable base. Anyone who tries to attack these cities equipped with magical cannons will definitely learn a hard lesson.
According to the analysis of some wise people, in recent years, the reason why the Knight continent has been relatively calm is that the deterrent power of the magic power cannon has also played a big role in it.
Listening to the caravan boss Burton's eloquent conversation, several people listened with relish, and Lu Su also picked up two sentences from time to time and praised each other. Even if Burton talked about sex, even his wariness of this group of people of unknown origin was weakened a lot.
If you want to say why Ji Wuwu and his party are here, it is also a coincidence. At Lu Su's suggestion, since he is now separated from the Ninth Princess, it is better to directly turn the light into darkness and quietly enter the city, which may be of greater help to the Ninth Princess.
Ji Wuwu is not a reckless man, and after hearing Lu Su's suggestion, he immediately agreed. However, in this way, the winter wolf is not very suitable. After all, along the way, the obvious symbol of the Winter Wolf Knight has been known to many forces.
After a brief discussion, Zhang Liao took the Winter Wolf Knight to wait around the Qinyue Royal Capital, while the others found a way to sneak into the city. As soon as the agreement was settled, Burton's caravan came into their sight.
This is called fate! Ji Wuwu and the others did not hesitate, showed their force a little, and after some coercion and temptation, Burton gave in and agreed to cover a few people into the city.
With the bounty given by Ji Wuwu and others, Burton had already paid attention to it, and after taking a few people into the city, he immediately disposed of the goods at a low price and left immediately. As for what happened after that, it's none of his business.
With a plan in his heart, Burton also put his mind at ease and began to brag and fart with a few people. Along the way, Ji Wuwu and the others also gained a lot of news from the mouths of this small businessman who traveled south and north. Like the question of why Hilda left, they figured it out. It turns out that the wanted list of the Morning Light Church, for the Knight continent, only the witches on the list will be assisted by other countries.
As for why this is so, Burton doesn't know, and there are rumors that the shrine maiden is evil, a demon who plays with the soul, and so on. The real truth has long been buried in the dust of history, and the only one who can know is the ninth princess.
But in Burton's mouth, Ji Wuwu still obtained an important information, the magical power possessed by the witch comes from the witch tower. And 10,000 years ago, before the rise of the Lobright Empire, the entire continent of Knight, or the country of witchcraft, was ruled by witches. Even the language spoken by the people of Knight Continent today has been handed down from that time.
Of course, these things are some rumors from Burton's hearsay, but in Ji Wuwu's opinion, it is very likely that they are true. Otherwise, under the blockade of the Morning Light Church, it would be impossible for these things to be handed down.
After entering the city, Burton and Ji Wuwu found a mid-range hotel called Forest House and settled down. Ji Wuwu and others began to inquire about the news, while Burton was looking for the second-tier dealers in the city, preparing to ship directly, and would rather lose a little than get out of the city quickly. If you get involved with this kind of person who conceals your identity, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
Hilda's news, without going out of his way to find out, has already spread in the royal capital. It seems that some forces are deliberately spreading. Among these rumors, there are positive and negative, and many of the news contradict each other, and even caused some civilians to argue.
According to the news heard, Hilda entered the palace smoothly and did not appear to be directly tied up in the worst case. And it can also be seen from the rumors in the royal capital that there is another force in the royal capital, which is on Hilda's side. Or, in other words, he didn't want Hilda to be judged as a shrine maiden.
Now I just hope that Hilda will not impulsively find the Earl Jean as soon as she returns.
It's a pity that the development of things is often not subject to human will, and how can Hilda's character be so calculating. As soon as she entered the palace, she rushed into the government affairs hall with more than a dozen flying phoenix guards.
"Count Jean, why did you send someone to ambush me!"
"Ambush, how could I ambush you, you are the only royal daughter of the Qinyue Kingdom at present, only you can inherit the throne of the Qinyue Kingdom and continue the bloodline of the Qinyue Kingdom. If you agree, I would even like Bill to be one of your husbands. Jean said with a surprised expression on his face, a little excited.
"Then who do you think he is?" Hilda, who decided on one thing and would not change it easily, listened to the other party's explanation and threw out a head directly.
"Will, what's going on, I sent him out ten days ago to check on the movements of the rebels, how could he die, who did it, I must avenge him!" Count Jean looked distressed, and pushed the matter to a smooth end.
"This is the man who attacked me, Count Jean, what else do you say. Although Hilda's instinct kept reminding her that the other party was not telling the truth, the other party's words still made her hesitate.
"Impossible!" exclaimed Count Jean, "As the most loyal iron-blooded family in the kingdom, our ancestral motto is to assist the queen for a living, how could I do such a thing." There must be some misunderstanding in this. ”
At this time, Jean's hidden gaze swept to a court nobleman below, and the other party immediately stepped forward with understanding, and said: "Princess Hilda, Earl Jean, judging from the ministers, this matter may be a bit misunderstood. ”
"Oh, what a misunderstanding, tell me quickly!" Jean, who seemed to have no desire to have a disagreement with Hilda, quickly asked.
"Previously, our kingdom received a note from the Church of Morning Light, declaring that our royal daughter is a witch, and that our country should hand it over immediately, otherwise we will start a witch hunt war against our country. How could Count Jean believe this fallacy, directly and forcefully rejected the other party, and actively prepared for war, preparing for a war with the rebels and the Church of Morninglight. ”
"But how powerful the Morning Light Church is, our army is really not sure, and Lord Earl is often troubled by this. Could it be that this officer, hearing about this, made his own decisions about this attack?"
