Originally, the atmosphere in the hall was that everyone was piling firewood, and everyone's emotions were passionate, eager to immediately make a blood alliance and worship together as brothers of the opposite sex who shared life and death, and finally pledged allegiance to the queen together.

As a result, a person suddenly came in from outside, and swept away the enthusiasm in everyone's hearts with the wind and snow.

These generals, who had been rolling in the dead for more than a month, were about to get angry, but after hearing the identity of the comer, they all looked at each other.

How did the Governor of Raging Waves City come to the Fall!

He braved the snow to come to the North, which must have meant that something big was happening.

Empress Christina was also a little angry about the destruction of the banquet, but when she saw that it was a meteorite, she immediately stood up and said, "There is a secluded room next to it, let's talk there." ”

Empress Christina let the generals dine at will, and she walked to the next room under the guidance of the internal officials.

Luke handed over his hat, cane, and coat to the guards, and followed Queen Christina to the room full of miscellaneous items.

Empress Christina asked all the officials to go out, and then asked Luke to sit down, and said in an apologetic tone: "Snow City has been bombarded by magic that has been overturned, and all the rooms that can be used are used to house soldiers and store supplies, I hope you can understand." ”

Empress Christina's honorific to Luke. In order to save himself, he personally traveled to the winter capital to steal information, and think about how much risk he would have to take to get the secrets that could turn the tide of the battle.

And according to the abandonment of Snow City, it can be judged that something big must have happened in the imperial capital!

Meteorite came to Snowland in person this time, and it is very likely that he will save his life again.

Luke sat down in his chair and said to Queen Christina, "Your Highness, you don't care about this, how can I care.

Congratulations to Your Highness on your victory in Snow City, which will change the course of the war. Throughout the winter phase of the battle, you can prove how good you were to come to the north to oversee the battle. ”

"Thanks to the CIA's destruction of the heating system in the Atlantshire United battlefield, otherwise I would have been a cold corpse by now. Thank you too, the winter capital must be full of dangers. ”

Luke couldn't help but think back to his journey in the Winter Capital, where many unexpected things happened.

He said to Empress Christina: "There are some dangers, but fortunately, the task has been completed, and His Highness did not tell anyone else about my visit to the winter capital, right?" ”

"No, I know the secret, the less people know, the better......" At this time, Queen Christina couldn't help but ask: "You came to Snow City alone, is it because something happened to the imperial capital?" ”

"There is nothing happening in the imperial capital for the time being, but something is about to happen." Luke told Empress Christina about the changes in the period of the eldest prince Fania.

The Legion of the North abandoned Snowy City, and Empress Christina knew that it must have something to do with Fania, which was now confirmed by the Meteorite.

"Do you think Fania would dare to launch a coup d'état? Or will it stop at the last minute?

Your Majesty is alive after all! ”

Luke replied, "I'm not Fania, how can I guess what he's going to do in the end?" I'm here to hear from you, Your Highness, how you choose? ”

"I ......" Empress Christina thought for a moment, "I don't know, Fania shouldn't want me to return to the imperial capital now." ”

"Yes, when the victory of Snowland reaches the Imperial Capital, it will force Fania to make a choice. If he does take a step that none of us want to be in, the Empire will face its greatest crisis ever. ”

"What do you think I should do?"

Queen Christina looked at Luke, since he came to Snow City, he must have come with a countermeasure.

Luke didn't sell it, and said directly: "I have prepared three plans for you, Your Highness: first, stay in Snow City, after this battle, I believe that this army has shared the glory and disgrace with you, and they are enough to protect your safety during this special period." You can wait for the situation in the imperial capital to stabilize, and whoever wins will be attached to whomever wins.

The second is to patrol the north, using the prestige you have built up in the war to gather as many troops and occupy cities and lands as possible. In this way, His Highness has at least one place to stand, and there is a lot more choice.

The third is to put down the snow city, return to the imperial capital as quickly as possible, and block Fania with the power of the queen......"

Empress Christina considered the advice that the Falling Star had given her.

The first one is the most secure. If Fania wins the final victory and becomes the new emperor of the Golden Shield Empire, as long as he does not do anything that threatens his imperial power, he can become the queen mother who is locked up in the palace by handing over his military power.

The second suggestion is to divide one side and take advantage of the coup d'état in Fania to quickly take the north. At that time, there was the second prince Alec in the west and the city of Angry Waves in the east, and the three families could maintain a balance of power with Fania. It's just that there is still the Atlantic County Union in the north of the north, and when the winter is over, the scale of the war will definitely escalate.

The third suggestion is to face Fania directly, if you win, you will save the empire and when you are in danger, and if you lose, you will be buried by Augustine the Great.

The first one was directly vetoed by Empress Christina, who had already tasted the sweetness of power and could no longer endure the days of the cold palace.

The second suggestion made Queen Christina think for a long time.

Although they have to face the Atlantic Union, with the support of the Westside and Angry Waves, they may not be unable to hold this land. Fania wouldn't push himself too hard, otherwise he would be attacked on all sides if the northern frontier was occupied by the Atshire Union.

It was only after Empress Christina thought about it repeatedly that she said to Luke: "I'm going back to the imperial capital!" ”

Instead of being surprised by Empress Christina's choice, Luke said, "Fania will definitely assassinate you along the way." ”

"You came to Snow City to protect me when I returned to the imperial capital! You have already guessed what I will choose? ”

Luke did guess.

How could Empress Christina be in a corner, leaving her future in the hands of uncertain allies and powerful enemies.

Powerful people dare to fight when it is time to fight.

Luke replied: "Your Highness dares to defend Snow City, and I think Your Highness will dare to return to the imperial capital." ”

Queen Christina laughed: "I have a feeling for you the first time we met, you know me very well, better than everyone else...... Even my parents knew me.

Being seen so thoroughly by you makes me both scared and happy. Finally someone understood me and knew what I wanted.

If you want to know anything, you can ask me. ”

Queen Christina was dignified and noble, looking at Luke with both wariness and joy at meeting a confidant.

Luke couldn't help laughing: "It's my honor to be valued by His Highness...... Can I know what is the situation of Your Majesty now? ”

The Meteorite question was expected by Empress Christina, but she did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Great Prince Fania, how can I tell that you are not working for the Great Prince?"

You took your majesty's condition from me, and then killed me on the way. ”

Luke shrugged: "At the court, I have a good relationship with most people. Who I'm working for, everyone has their own subjective judgment, and I have no way to prove it.

All I can tell you is ...... I've always worked for myself. ”

Queen Christina looked at Luke, as if she wanted to see through his layers of disguise and see his truest heart.

After some time, Empress Christina said, "You are indeed working for yourself, and Fania cannot control you, and Agatha should not be able to control you." I...... I can't control you now!

His Majesty ignored government affairs and didn't see anyone during this period of time, because he was undergoing an extraordinary physical transformation. You've made him feel in crisis, and he doesn't want the empire to end up in your hands after his death.

So he decided to take the risk of modifying his body in order to increase his lifespan. ”

"Is the success rate high?" Luke didn't express surprise, this was one of his many speculations, but he couldn't be sure before.

Since Empress Christina chose to cooperate with Luke, she no longer kept the secrets of Augustine the Great.

"His physical condition was too poor to withstand ordinary transcendental transformations, so the transcendental alterers developed two sets of transformation plans for him. The first is the regular transcendental body enhancement, which allows him to continue to have the body as a human, but the success rate of this transcendent transformation is very low.

Once the transformation fails, his body rejects, and the transcendent transformer will preserve his brain as soon as possible, and then seal it in the crown of wisdom. ”

Luke asked, "What is the Crown of Wisdom?" ”

"The Crown of Wisdom is one of a set of armed components that Augustine ordered from the Angelic Civilization. Includes: Crown of Wisdom, Armor of Light, Shield of Faith, Prayer Sword, Earth Boots.

Once Augustine's brain is encapsulated in the Crown of Wisdom, the Immortal Armament can be activated to become a Heroic Being. ”

Immortal beings are transcendent beings attached to the Angelic Civilization.

Angels will indulge in their own world for a long time, and in order to keep Sky City running, the angels have created heroic creatures.

In ancient times, angels representing justice were worshipped by countless people, and angels often descended to the secular world as justice. During the execution of justice in the secular world, the angels will take the brains of recognized heroes after their deaths, then return to Sky City to forge heroic spirits for them, and finally seal the brains of these heroes in the heroic spirits, making them heroic beings.

For a long time, becoming a Heroic Spirit and entering Sky City was the goal of many heroes.

It's just that after the ancient wars, angels were almost extinct in the secular world, and very few people became heroic spirits and entered Sky City.

Therefore, Augustine the Great's final plan was to become a heroic creature, which somewhat surprised Luke.

Imagine sitting on the throne of the palace with a bodyless empty shell armor, I wonder what the ministers of the court and the citizens of the empire will think.

"Terrible decision...... It's just why the angel would provide His Majesty with a set of heroic spirit armaments, and also allow a heroic spirit creature to govern a secular country. ”

Empress Christina said, "Your Majesty promised Sky City to build a temple for angels in the city of St. Lun. ”

Hearing this, Luke couldn't help frowning.

The plot was changed too much by itself.

Angels rarely entered the secular realm after the ancient wars, one reason was that the angels had lost too much, and after claiming them back to Sky City from the Glittering Gold Man, they stayed in Sky City to watch out for the remaining fallen angels.

Another reason is that angels are rejected by the world.

Justice is a very subjective concept, and everyone has a different benchmark for justice in their hearts. The angels before the ancient war were romantic, and in their cognition, justice was a virtue.

However, during the ancient wars, the division and departure of the fallen angels made the justice of the angels lack balance and go to the extreme.

Justice is a responsibility.

This is difficult to be accepted by the mainstream values of the secular world, so it is naturally difficult for angels who are obsessed with enforcing justice to return to the world.

Luke didn't expect that in order to prolong his life, Augustine the Great would agree to the angels to build a temple in the city of Shenglun, what kind of changes would the angels bring to the Golden Shield Empire and the whole world in order to prolong their lives?

Not to mention that he is working with Hell.

This is absolutely evil in the eyes of the angels, and it is a quick existence.

Luke said: "Although the people of the Sparkling Gold have blended into the world, they have always kept their distance from various countries, and they have never touched politics except to invest and make money. And Sky City does not have this rule, the angelic civilization was brought into the secular world by His Majesty, or to build a holy church in Shenglun City, which will break the tacit understanding formed after the ancient war. ”

Empress Christina is also worried: "Now His Majesty's thoughts are difficult to speculate using common sense. He was wary of everyone, stubbornly believing that the empire could not live without him. Everyone is not credible in his eyes, and he is becoming more and more obsessed with immortality so that he can rule the country forever.

One thing you might not believe is that he was once in contact with the Abyss Temple and wanted to transform into an Abyss Apostle. If it weren't for you and Fania who eliminated the Abyss Mage lurking in the Imperial Capital and killed the Abyss Apostle Morris, it is estimated that he would have snatched the Book of Calamity from Miss Clearsky a long time ago. ”

Luke couldn't help but sigh: "He's really crazy." ”

"It seems to me that he has gone crazy for a long time. It is impossible for the Empire to accept an immortal emperor, let alone a non-human sitting on the throne.

Mankind is creating the best era since ancient wars, and although human civilization is not as powerful as the five ancient civilizations, it is more prosperous than the five civilizations combined. Everyone believes that we will eventually surpass the five ancient civilizations in all aspects.

The only one who can rule a human nation is a human being, even an idiot. If Augustine had sat on the throne as a heroic being, the Golden Shield Empire would have been isolated from the entire human world, and that would be the beginning of the Empire's demise.

But Augustine could not see it.

He's old...... He's really too old! ”

The more Empress Christina spoke, the more enraged she became, and she sat up straight, puffing out her chest, as if to tell Luke who was the one who could save the empire from real danger.

Luke agreed with Empress Christina's words, if Augustine sat on the throne as a heroic creature, not only did the heirs to the throne not agree, but the foundation of the entire condensed empire would collapse.

The civilization created by the current human race has made human beings have incomparable self-confidence, and human beings can tacitly reject the five ancient civilizations, how can it be possible for a heroic creature to step on their heads!
