(443) Bad omen

Valstad Empire, Imperial Capital Fort Midknight, Inner Court of the Golden Lake Palace.

The wind howled, and the delicate silk curtains were blown up like sails filled with the wind.

The tall figure stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the palace upper floor, and the strong wind blew away the iron-gray bun.

Although she was in the prime of life, her temples had already appeared with strands of gray hair early.

A silver-gray one-eyed glittered in the darkness, looking out at the throbbing curtains.

Tonight's climate is quite weird, it was a quiet night at the beginning, the moonlight was accompanied by the sound of insects, and the wind and clouds changed suddenly in an instant.

Layers of dark clouds obscured the stars and moon to the limit of the eye, which usually indicates a storm and thunderstorm somewhere in the distance.

The wind was mixed with broken flowers and grass and a little gravel, and some stones rattled against the window lattice, and after taking a deep breath, you could smell the faint fishy smell in the air.

(Something doesn't smell right, is it the smell of dirt and the sea, or the smell of blood?) She thought.

"Knock knock." Someone is knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

The person who came was Mr. Albuise, the royal clerk,

This person was a close confidant of the emperor who had been picked up by one hand, and I saw him respectfully push open the door with a lacquered wood dinner plate in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Physician has instructed you to take your medicine on time, and there are two painkillers in the box, plus a cup of your favorite hot drink of honey grapefruit."

"Thank you, put it on the table, I'll drink it later." Salantos Midknight turned his head sideways and said, "Alboise, why did you come to serve, where is my valet gone?" ”

"She was unwell and asked for temporary leave, and before leaving, she specially instructed us to remind you to take medicine."

The emperor nodded in approval: "You are all very competent, I am quite satisfied, go down." ”

"Please rest early and don't get tired, Your Majesty."

Just as the royal clerk was about to bow down and leave, the Empress summoned him.

"Wait, Alboise, don't go yet."

"Oh? Your Majesty, what do you command? ”

Salantos stretched out his mutilated left arm, pointed to the tumbling clouds on the edge with an iron hook, and said:

"Record these into my personal biography draft Zheng"

"Uh...... Sorry, I don't quite understand, what are you referring to? ”

"Of course I'm angry." The Emperor said, "Haven't you noticed that the recent qi is very abnormal?" ”

"Oh...... That's right, it's angry! Damn it! Look at my brain! ”

The royal clerk patted his forehead:

"It's strange that the air has been so humid lately that the food is very moldy, and this season of the year is extremely dry...... Meteorologists are also bothered by this. ”

"Record all of this in my autobiography and describe it in detail." When this sentence was uttered, the empress's expression looked worried.

"I'm curious, Your Majesty, do you hate this haze?"

"No, it's not annoying, don't forget that my family's last name is Midknight, which means midnight, I don't like light, even Dabai likes to close the curtains and light the lamp to review documents alone, you know that."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't like the north-south room, you like to live in a shady room facing east and west, and it is because of this that I feel a little strange why you are disgusted with the current qi."

"You're observant, you're a clerk by my side, maybe I should transfer you to Baron Colin as an intelligence agent."

"I can't bear to leave you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, kidding, to get down to business, I feel that this anger is a bad omen, and there is no reason, I just feel very uncomfortable, something is wrong, and the headache is worse."

"A bad omen? Your Majesty, I remember that you did not believe in prophecy. ”

"Yes, I don't believe in omens, and my life is up to me, but this time somehow it always feels wrong.

I'm good at meteorology, it's all too weird and doesn't fit the climate of the Valstad Peninsula.

In previous years, this time of year should be dry and hot, there must be some reason for the abnormal weather, in fact, I can't figure out what happened, but in my mind I just feel that something bad is about to happen, and my right eyelid keeps jumping. ”

At this point, the emperor's tone changed, no longer a relaxed and pleasant chatter with his subordinates, but became quite serious.

She clenched her fists, her joints gurgling, her eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted:

"Quick! Look over there, Arbu! There are a few weird ripples in the air! Something must be happening in the distance! ”

"I see it...... Your Majesty, it's scary! The clerk was so frightened that he drew a cross on his chest.

"Write it down, it's not what nature should be, maybe it's a conspirator...... Oops! ”

The emperor held his forehead and complained:

"Oops...... This damn headache has also flared up with the old wounds, and it's really tiring to be alive, wait...... How is lightning in the distance red? Something must be going to happen. ”

"Your Majesty, take your medicine quickly, your forehead is full of sweat ......"

"It's uncomfortable to die, it must be ...... Unfortunately, there are people who are slaughtering living beings...... I smell evil in the air. ”

"Na! Your nostrils are bleeding...... Do you want me to call the Royal Physician over? The clerk panicked.

"No, I'm fine." Salantos pulled out a handkerchief and shoved it into his nostrils, the cloth quickly soaked with blue blood.

She held her sweaty forehead and waved her hand at the clerk:

"You go, I can take care of myself."

"Call me anytime if you have something, rattle the bell to school"

The clerk was clearly uneasy when he left, and kept looking back.

Salantos walked over to the table, she rudely ripped open the box, leaned her neck and swallowed two special painkillers, then took the honey grapefruit drink and drank it down, and after putting the cup down, she felt better.

Half an hour later, the wind gradually changed, the clouds cleared, the stars and the moon became clear, the emperor yawned, her upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and she needed to sleep after reviewing a whole paper.

The guards outside the door shouted:

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but the Prime Minister has an urgent matter to tell you, and he insists on seeing you."

"Let him in!"

The Prime Minister of the Empire, Dali Einfurt, apparently came in a bad spirit,

His hair was blown out like a bird's nest, and his hair was mixed with leaves and broken branches, and his brow was furrowed, and his deep blue eyes were narrowed like two wounds under his eyebrows.

As soon as he saw the emperor, he couldn't wait to speak:

"Your Majesty, the Coast Guard has sent an urgent message, and two winged behemoths have crossed the sky above our Patrol Ship 227 and are moving quickly towards our interior!

Counting the speed of message transmission, these two guys have now penetrated far into our country, and they should be the dragons and dragon knights who appeared in the last battle! ”

The prime minister waited for the emperor's surprised look, and this did not appear, and Salantos Midknight looked quite calm, did not even raise his eyelids, and said lightly:

"Hmph, look, the Voodoo cult has made a move, and you and I have a hunch that is really right."

"Now, Your Majesty, how can you still be so calm? I'm dying! Hells knows where these two guys are going to wreak havoc! I have arbitrarily decided to declare the whole country to a wartime emergency! ”

"Well done, my Prime Minister, you never let me down."

"What about your instructions? Only you and your daughter have the experience to slay dragons. Dali asked eagerly.

The Emperor took off the laurel crown and placed it on the filing cabinet:

"Straight, I'm in a terrible state right now, I can't personally supervise the battle, Edgar's eyes you know, she has done enough for the country, don't bother that kid anymore, let the two of them live a few clean lives.

As for the advice, if you want to deal with the dragon and the dragon knight, you must at least figure out their location first, and then don't be afraid, it's just two flying insects, just pinch them to death. ”

"Yours is light! How can the dragon be so easy to deal with, the sword can't be cut, the rifle is not destructive, the cannon is not enough, and we only have to be beaten unilaterally now! ”

"I trust you, Dali, and I'll leave this matter to you."

The emperor's body suddenly trembled violently and almost fell, but fortunately, the prime minister helped him in time.

"Your face looks terrible."

"After many years of fighting, I have suffered heavy injuries and physical exhaustion, and my body is a little unable to support it...... Damn it! The pain is getting more and more intense, as is phantom limb pain in the arms and eyeballs...... Dali, I'm sorry, I have to rest now, while the headache medicine still works, everything will be discussed when I wake up. ”

A quarter of an hour later, the Imperial Chancellor sat in the galloping carriage, and he was about to arrive at the Emergency Temporary Command, where he would discuss with his cabinet ministers how to deal with the dragon.

The night scene on the outskirts of the imperial capital passed quickly through the car window,

Dali Einfurt did not enjoy the leisure of the night at all, and the sorrow in his heart was overflowing.

Empress Salentos's health is declining, and to make matters worse, there is no suitable heir to the throne, and the future of the empire is bleak, and someone must carry the burden, and that person can only be him.
