"You're really popular."

In his room, activating the soundproof inscription, Isengard took out a scroll of materials and quipped: "That fairy lady outside obviously doesn't know your specific situation, but she is still willing to accompany you on the adventure." ”

And Ian leaned against the door, his hands clasped to his chest, and he nodded slightly: "The word adventure may be a bit excessive, in my opinion, it can only be regarded as a slightly turbulent journey, and I'm not sure if it's me or my cooking that is popular." ”

"Killed Baron Ryan during his travels, and by the way, crushed the head of the Gnostic Academy? I guess it's not normal for the Magneto-Knight to die, it's certainly not what you said outside the door, he was killed by his friends from the Dragon Cult. ”

The blonde boy handed the information to Ian, and he asked with some curiosity, "How is your cooking skills?" I haven't eaten your food yet. ”

"You'll know next time we go out together, don't look forward to it too much, the dishes made by the chef of the imperial capital are estimated to be better than those I cooked."

Ian picked up the information, he didn't think it was strange, of course Isengard could guess that it was Baron Ryan and the others he killed, after all, the other party saw himself and Patrick fighting head-on without losing the wind - the young master of the Ellen family in the past may not be able to understand the gold content of this, but for Esengard, who has begun to 'open his eyes to the world' in the real sense, he can know Ian's horror.

As for why the outside said that, of course, it was to prevent Miss Fairy from accidentally leaking out of her mouth.

In short, knowing this, Ethan listened to Ian's experience along the way, and naturally understood how big Ian was and how much danger he experienced.

"Huh."

Looking at the information in his hand, Ian suddenly sighed.

He raised his head and looked at Ethan: "The emperor really doesn't care?" He hasn't been to court much in five years, has he? ”

"I just held a few meetings in Feiyandi, and outside of the policy, why is everything else done by the eldest prince, the eldest princess and the second prince?"

"That's true."

Ethan nodded slightly: "Uncle Carlos, Aunt Allegria, and Uncle Mikael are the main members of the royal family who have presided over the affairs of the imperial capital over the years. ”

"I forgot, these people are all your relatives, no wonder you know so much."

Hearing these titles, Ian was stunned, and he almost forgot that Isengard was actually a relative of the emperor.

But this was more convenient, and he said with interest: "What are these people responsible for?" Oh, I saw it, it's all written in the information. ”

"Hmm."

Isengard nodded slightly, he came to Ian's side, and stretched out his hand to introduce the young man: "Uncle Carlos is the eldest prince, he has a gentle temper, can coordinate with the ministers and nobles of all parties, and has a very high reputation, but because of this, he has attracted attention from all sides, and he has to be careful in his every move on weekdays. ”

"He is in charge of the Imperial Capital's Mirror Guard, and a considerable number of knights in the Patrol Knights will obey his orders."

"No matter how much I can't tell, although my uncle seems to be very upright, but in fact, there is so much information that even I can't find it...... He is like a tree, towering and immobile on the surface, but in fact the roots have long since crawled all over the territory you know. ”

The portrait that Ethan points to is a long, white-blond man with a dignified face, dressed in a robe, smiling, and his dark blue eyes as deep as the sea.

Then he pointed to the portrait of another woman, who was as pure as an angel in terms of appearance, with long light blonde hair fluttering in the wind, and a beautiful figure and elegant temperament.

But if you look at the eyes, what is revealed in those blue and golden eyes reveals an ambition that seems to master the entire era.

If the feeling of the eldest prince is that of a quiet sea, deep and calm, then the feeling of the eldest princess is like a tsunami, and that majesty and confidence are like painting paper.

"What does Aunt Allegria say...... She is not in the imperial capital all year round, but is stationed in the Dark Mountain Fortress around the Fog Yarn Harbor...... and all other frontier military districts. She is on the move all year round. ”

"She is the leader of the hawk faction in the absolute sense, and she has said more than once that she wants to erase the Junling Fort from history, and if the Heavenly Court dares to harass the Eastern Fortress, she will dare to attack the mobile fortress of the Royal Court."

"The problem is, it's not a slogan, the aunt really went to attack the mobile fortress. Lately, she's been observing the Flamelands on the Desert, and the soldiers see her as the Valkyrie who brings victory. ”

Speaking of this, Isengard sighed with some emotion: "I still remember that my aunt was very kind to me when I was a child, and my aunt in my memory was a cheerful and optimistic beauty who showed an angelic smile every day...... Who knew how many times she came to see me, she had just won a battle? ”

"I feel that for her, there is no conflict between liking juniors and liking to kill and fight."

Ian narrowed his eyes, and he commented, "But in this way, isn't all the military and political affairs occupied?" What rights does the second prince have to compete with these two courts? ”

"Second uncle?"

Isengard laughed, he shook his head slightly, and said: "Second uncle has no rights, he actually doesn't value this very much - Uncle Mikael is a very quiet person, and his favorite thing is actually lying on the warm grass and watching the clouds, and eating small cookies made by himself." ”

He turned a page for Ian.

The man in the portrait is dressed in armor and looks quite young, in his twenties. Of course, the sublimator can't determine his age by his appearance, the second prince is at least forty years old, but that relaxed temperament and youthful demeanor are not the slightest false.

The blonde knight has eyebrows like a sword and looks handsome, but in general, there is something unremarkable.

Anyway, Isengard is definitely not inferior to him in appearance when he grows up, but it is definitely more distinctive than him.

"This guy ......"

But Ian frowned slightly, and he showed a vigilant expression: "At a glance, you can see that there are many secrets hidden. It's still that earth-shattering secret! ”

It's a kind of peer-to-peer resonance, and Ian senses danger just by looking at it.

"yes, I think too."

The blonde boy laughed, but he shook his head and said, "However, this secret should not be the kind of secret we think. As for why Uncle Mikael was able to be called the ...... with the first two"

"Just because he's strong. Strong enough to be considered to be able to advance to the fifth energy level within ten years. ”

"So the right is coming to him."

Reasonable.

Ian nodded silently.

A new generation of the fifth energy level? Not to mention the potions and formulas, at least the second prince already has the basic conditions to carry the inheritance power of the fifth energy level, and in the Terra Continent, this is more tangible than the support of any ministers and nobles, and the recognition and approval of the military.

On Earth, the power of the emperor comes from the system, the approval of the courtiers and the people. It is not recognized by the people in the modern sense, but the concept of the 'Son of Heaven' in the feudal era, the divine right.

The whole bureaucratic system is such a tool to transmit the power of discourse to the Quartet, and the emperor cannot completely deny the system that makes him the emperor, and the struggle around the system and the right to speak is the core of the struggle of that era.

But it's not the same in Terra.

Because, the powerhouse of the fifth energy level is here. It's true, like the second sun in the sky, if you want to close your eyes and deny it, you can't deny anything except prove that you are ridiculous.

In Terra, the Emperor's sanctity derives most from power.

A powerhouse of the fifth level, if he just wants to be the emperor, does not need any support, does not need any power, does not need any conspiracy, and does not need any political struggle.

Even if there is only one person, without any land or people, as long as he declares that he is, then the other forces will recognize him.

Terra's political system is completely different from Earth's...... No, anyone who thinks that there is a world with extraordinary powers, and that its system is the same as that of ordinary worlds, must have something wrong with their head.

Because these sublimators, biologically speaking, I am afraid that they cannot be called human beings, but they have a human shell, and talking to them about human rules is tantamount to talking to aliens about the ethics and morality of the earth.

Ian stared at the material in front of him, and he understood something.

- When the second prince really becomes the fifth energy level, he will become the next emperor.

Therefore, the second prince did not make any big moves, but just gradually gathered some wings, sheltered some geniuses like himself, and had a basic control over all parts of the empire.

Others, in addition to improving their strength as soon as possible, also need to grasp the power as much as possible, so as to occupy a little advantage in other aspects.
