[401] Enhil's ambition
Central Vigema, Royal Palace.
Even after thousands of years, wars and blood, this ancient castle with the unique architectural style of the elves still stands on this continent and is known as the 'Fortified City'.
It's just that no matter how strong the castle is, it can't stop the decay and looseness of people's hearts.
The rotation of people in this thousand-year-old castle has never stopped, once elves, now humans.
The Emperor of the Nilfgaard Empire, Enhil Van Enres, is the newest owner of the castle.
At this time, the emperor in the prime of life was standing in front of his bedroom window, looking down from a slightly blurred window over the city that belonged to Nilfgaard.
Admittedly, there are quite a few less quiet little rats in the city.
However, this small move was nothing to the emperor who led the traditional southern empire of Nilfgaard to the north of Mount Amer and in just a few years, slaughtering Sintra, conquering Aden and Temeria, and was about to unify the entire continent.
What worries him the most is the prophecy concerning his daughter, his nominal wife, 'Ciri'.
In comparison, even Redania, which has just completed its annexation, has to be placed in second place.
It's just that since the last time, his most trusted and most powerful warlock on the entire continent, Wigo Fortez, completely betrayed him, Enhir no longer dared to focus a lot of resources on finding people.
In contrast, the Nilfgaard Intelligence Agency has been continuously enriched and expanded.
It is not much less difficult to catch a person on the mainland than it is to find a needle in a haystack.
The long wait is naturally essential.
So, whenever Enhil was bothered about it, he would look out of the bedroom window on the top floor and sweep the little half of Virgin City into his eyes.
Power, conquest, territory.
For Enchil, these three things are the most reassuring to him.
Even if he searched the world for his daughter, it was for this reason.
According to the prophecy, the child born to Ciri, who bears the blood of the ancients, will unify the entire world.
And Enshir himself happens to be a man who takes conquering, dominating, and sweeping everything as his life and even his dream.
He couldn't accept the fact that one of his sons-in-law, or someone else, would take over the world he had conquered, and it was for this reason that Enhil thought of a very simple and crude method.
- He gave birth to one of his own!
What happened to my daughter? It's enough to be beautiful and practical! The age gap of forty or fifty years is not a matter at all, anyway, he wants to rule the world!
No matter how bad it is, he has to let his children rule.
As for what kind of ethics anorectal, he doesn't care at all, as long as he can rule the world, let alone let him have children with his daughter, or let him go to the day cactus and the day hedgehog, Enhill will seriously consider the feasibility.
In a way, Enhil, who is extremely obsessed with ruling the world, can be regarded as a ghost father.
However, although his dreams and practical methods can almost be put into the entertainment sector, as the emperor of a country, Enhil's ability is indeed far beyond ordinary people.
This is evident from the fact that he regained the throne from the usurper, crushed the coup plot with iron and blood, united the whole and wrenched Nilfgaard into one piece in just a few years.
In the eyes of this emperor, who is known for his strictness and iron law, there is no room for a little sand.
So, when he saw the sudden burst of light in the city from his window, Enhil rightfully frowned.
He turned his head and asked the curly-haired old eunuch beside him:
"From noon to evening today, who is the person in charge of the First Order in the outer city of Vijma?"
"It's Baron Claire, Your Majesty."
The old eunuch in the judge's hood bowed respectfully in reply, and Enshir was thoughtful.
Claire...... I remember he was from Furis, right? The name is familiar. Is it someone from the Third Legion? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch still maintained his bowing movements, "It is one of the captains of the cavalry team directly under Colonel Ramon Tilconnell of the Third Legion, the Ard Fain Cavalry Division. In the Second Northern War, he was awarded the title of Honorary Baron, and because of his position, he was directly subordinate to Prince Vhris. ”
The old eunuch had a good memory, and a few casual words immediately made Enhil's impression clear.
"Hold it down first, it's his responsibility if something goes wrong in the outer city." Enshir spoke first, then muttered for a few seconds, "Wait for the Furis's side to show his attitude." ”
After speaking, Enhill added as if remembering something,
"By the way, don't go directly, let Filland try it - although his uncle is quite good, this country always needs young people."
"Also, let the people from the Intelligence Bureau bring back the news - what happened in Filland and the outer city, all of them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old eunuch bowed again, turned around and prepared to go out.
Enhill was still standing in front of the window, shaking the wine glass in his hand with a breezy expression.
Even if there was an abnormal accident in the nearby outer city, Enhill did not panic in the slightest, and still looked calm.
Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but the face was not ......
"Bang!"
Enhill's favorite red agate glass suddenly slammed to the ground with a crisp thud and shattered into pieces.
However, at this time, he didn't care about any wine glasses, nor did he care about the dark gray nightgown that he had been spilled on, but his eyes widened and he stared blankly at the scene outside.
It was a world in the sky.
The loess is intertwined with flying sand, and even the sunlight seems so dim that the presence of water sources is almost invisible.
In such a barren land, a city is so huge that it is difficult to describe is slowly moving.
The moving city is filled with strange-looking, animal-like humans, unimaginable skyscrapers, and a house made entirely of mirrors.
The entire city seems to be made of steel, and even if it is so large, there is no sign of collapse.
The bustling crowd is as small as ants in the contrast of the city.
Enhill's feet moved involuntarily, his cheeks almost pressed against the glass, and his bare feet stepped on the shards of agate without realizing it, just staring blankly at the world in the sky.
"Harris! Harris! ”
Suddenly, Enhil raised his head as if he were crazy, and called out to the eunuch outside the door.
The old eunuch who had just walked out was also a little apprehensive when he saw His Majesty's irritable appearance, and he was careful not to raise his head.
"Find it!" Enhil roared loudly, and then, as if sensing something, took a deep breath and suppressed the sound that was about to roar out, "The previous order is invalid, and there is no time to dwell on that group of waste." ”
"Now, immediately send someone to the outer city, block all the streets, check all suspicious people, and go with the Imperial Guard!"
Enhil looked at the world in the sky with red eyes, and it took a while to pull his eyes out of the sky and turn his head to look at the old eunuch behind him.
"I want to know what's going on there."
After speaking, he emphasized one sentence emphatically.
"Whatever it takes."
The sophisticated old eunuch naturally did not make any so-called suggestions to Enshir at this time, he just bowed his head deeply.
"Follow your orders, my majesty."
Enhill didn't say anything more, but turned his head and stared at the world in the sky.
'It is different from the meeting of the celestial spheres in the royal records. ’
The intersection of the celestial spheres in the record is not like this...... Moreover, the image presented on this image is completely different from the description. ’
Enhill looked at the sky, his Adam's apple sliding, and he swallowed deeply, his long shiny hair almost standing on end.
'That is to say......'
Is this the new world? ’
