Chapter 24: The Danger of the Situation

Aside from this mysterious man, the other nine sages are even more widely circulated-

The heroes of the end and unification worked together to create the kingdom of Aynk.

The man naturally became the first emperor of the kingdom of Aynk. Monterey. Dahnsist". The other nine sages who supported Daensist formed their own factions.

They are the "Five Great Families" and the "Nine Great Seats".

The five families represent the "military advisor" who gives advice, the "warrior" who fights bravely, the "mage" who is broad and profound, the "businessman" who is good at dancing with long sleeves, and the "assassin" who is unexpected.

Each family has the military or financial resources to rival the country, and many talents have been born from within, which are undoubtedly indispensable in the hands of men at the time.

And the Nine Seats are not as powerful as the Five Great Families - there is only one person in each seat.

However, the reason why the Nine Great Seats can be favored by men is not the unity of the five major families, but the terrifying ability possessed by individuals.

Perhaps an entire army of 10,000 men may not be able to outperform one of them.

However, it is not surprising that these ten heroes are the heroes who ended the war.

But the next problem was born because of the newborn peace: how to maintain peace in Staven Plains for a long time?

Obviously, such troubles only existed while Dahnsist was alive.

Because the heirs after Daensist did not carry on Daensist's legacy.

This can be seen from the name of the royal city located in the south-west of the Staphen Plains -

On the plateau to the southwest, Dahn Psyst built the most symbolic building of the king, the "Royal City of Dahnsist".

The name of the royal city was named after the name of the current emperor.

Following the will of the previous king, the moment the new successor ascends the throne, he will be able to use his daimyo as the new name of this royal city, which also means that the overlord of the new era will be replaced again.

But it also reveals the ugliness of the fight.

The funny thing is that the principle of succession has always been "hereditary", and only pure royal blood has the right to inherit the throne.

And the descendants of Dahnsist do not care about their father's will, but more covet the holder of this royal city.

The significance of the name change today is only to follow the old traditions, not to carry on the legacy of the first emperor.

This ancient royal city has changed its name and witnessed many great moments, but it is nothing more than a talent with the blood of "Einke" who has the honor of having his name as a royal city.

Because of this, after not knowing the first few rotations, the national strength of the Kingdom of Aynk gradually showed a downward trend, and the prestige of the country was no longer there.

This is what Dahn Cist fears most – that the precious peace will not last forever.

But at the lowest ebb, a turning point was also miraculously born.

That's right, the leader who has now taken over the "King City of Disent" - "Einke. "Diescent" was the first to break the old habits of pedancy.

Or "Prisses. Diescent" - he was not born into the royal family of Aynck.

This is also due to the previous emperor - "Ironke. Daltron".

It was precisely because Daltron was tired of such a tradition that after surviving all kinds of open and secret battles in the palace, it was difficult to put the unrelated Discente on the throne.

That being said, Divicent isn't entirely dependent on Daltron's help.

In the first two years of his succession to the throne, Divicent was only the first of nine seats, codenamed "Mercy".

It is inconceivable that he was just a poor child born into the poor.

But fate kindly supported him.

At the age of twelve, under some fate, the young Discent strayed into the territory of the Dragon Cult.

At that time, dragons and humans were at odds with each other, and relations between the two races were quite tense. But how could the poor and young Discent know?

Walking into a completely unfamiliar environment, Disent, who has had a desire to explore since childhood, roamed the territory of the Dragon Cult to satisfy his curiosity.

Unfortunately, Disente was soon captured alive by the Dragon Guards on the border of the Dragon Cult.

This was a very dangerous thing at the time, because no one could guarantee whether Divicent was a spy sent by the other party.

Even though he was only a twelve-year-old boy, such suspicions were still possible in the face of tension.

When he was sent to the Dragon Palace, Disente endured the fear in his heart, clearly showing that he had no malicious intentions, and at the same time put down his body in time and sincerely apologized for his rashness.

It's just that he didn't abandon his dignity and kneel and beg for mercy because of this, but only apologized from the bottom of his heart for mistakenly entering the territory of the Dragon Sect.

At that time, Discent was only a twelve-year-old child, and a poor child with no proper education.

Despite his inferior status, he showed a rare amount of self-esteem and self-confidence.

At that moment, the dragon king took a fancy to the boy in front of him.

Instead of imprisoning him because of his status as an enemy, or choosing to kill him, he made an unexpected decision-

- Raise him.

At the age of twelve, Divient was brought under the protection of the Dragon King and integrated into the dragon's life as a human child.

After ten years of training and care, Disente is no longer the original human, but has perfectly inherited the bloodline of the dragon family and has become a veritable "dragon man".

Neither a human nor a dragon, but a half-dragon half-dragon of mixed blood.

In addition to this, in the course of this decade, the old emperor of Eynke unfortunately passed away, so a new successor ascended to the throne.

The new successor is none other than the previous emperor who introduced Divint, Daltron.

Like Discente, Daltron pursued eternal peace and inter-ethnic peace. At this point, Diesel has also found a turning point.

Thanks to Daltron's efforts, the relationship between dragons and humans has also begun to improve.

Following the gradual easing of relations between the two sides, Diescent, as a symbol of peace, also became a general of Aynke under the recommendation of the Dragon King.

Of course, in terms of facts, Diesel is just going home, back to his hometown ten years ago.

The fact that Discent was a dragon man was soon known by Daltron, and with that great strength, Discent immediately entered the palace and became the governor in charge of all military orders.

At the same time, the penniless Divicent was also brought under the tutelage of Daltron and officially renamed "Ironke. Disent".

And the dragonman's physique is indeed terrifying - Discent is invincible at all, and is the most powerful one in the army.

In addition, under the faith of the dragons, Diescent has transformed from an ignorant boy ten years ago into a man with grand ideas - he hopes to seek the harmony of all things with his own hands.

This belief was also the opportunity for Divint to become the next emperor.

Ten years after Divicente returned to Einke, Daltron died of illness. But before he died, Daltron was ready.

Inherit the throne to Disent, who is not related by blood.

And Divint also lived up to Daltron's expectations and became a good emperor known to everyone.

At the moment of succession, Divicent immediately repealed the evil laws of his predecessors and established many new laws. The areas covered by its decrees are nothing more than corrupt class systems.

Eradicating the aristocratic forces that gnaw at the flesh and blood of the palace, supporting the living standards of the poor, and promoting talents other than the royal bloodline...... Divint can be said to have worked hard.

In addition to the implementation of ethical politics, the planning of the territory is also full of efforts.

The flat land under the plateau is also the territory of the Kingdom of Aynke, and after the reorganization of Disent, three major areas are planned simply and clearly-

They are the "residential area" for common people, the "commercial area" for trade, and the "market area" for entertainment.

There are various races living in each area, from the common dwarves and orcs to the rare goblins and dragons, and the atmosphere of foreign cultures is particularly strong.

Even so, the proportion of human beings is still more than half, and because of the difference in language and habits, there are usually some conflicts.

But Decente also drafted a number of provisions for this purpose – which eventually proved to be effective in curbing the occurrence of large conflicts, so that there were no serious racial conflicts in the decades since Decente took office.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, and Discent had thought that he would be able to maintain this peace until the next successor appeared, but—

- Sudden disasters befell this land.

In 1915, the evil god of the four fierce beasts, gluttony, was born so suddenly.

To this day, no one knows the reason for the emergence of gluttony, and has not even been able to remember the true face of gluttony, leaving only the pain of losing his family and the scars of war.

At that time, it was also a moment of unity for all races.

Under the call and rally of Discent, the various clans of the Stafen Plains formed an alliance with each other to resist this ominous enemy.

In the end, gluttony was defeated.

However, it is not a complete defeat, but a temporary disappearance.

Using the powerful power of the dragon clan, Discent painstakingly sealed part of his gluttonous body and soul in the "Wine Tiger Mountain", while the remaining unsealed exiled body disappeared forever from the world, and disappeared.

For this reason, Discent and the other races will eventually claim the hard-won peace of this land.

It was also because of the matter of Disent's sealing gluttony that indirectly boosted the national prestige of the Kingdom of Aynke.

Many great powers scrambled to become vassals of Einck, and trade and culture flourished as the number of vassals increased, and even promoted cultural development among countries.

Today's Eynke is undoubtedly a powerful country on the Stafen Plains, on a par with the Dragon Cult.

But history changes over time, and the so-called great power is only a point in history.

The glorious history will once again reach a turning point, and all disasters are the result of the sinister nature hidden in human nature. All things take this hard-won peace for granted, and the darkness that hides in the shadows will take advantage of it.

When we realize the danger of the situation, it is too late.

July 11, 1927, 10:35 a.m., a room in the royal city of Eynke

One of the rooms on the second floor of the royal city is furnished with luxurious furniture and a row of glass cabinets nearly three meters high, a total of five large glass cabinets close to the wall on the right side of the room.

Looking through the translucent glass surface, the cupboards are filled with goods bought from the market.

These items are nothing more than shabby toys or useless souvenirs, and even dirty dust on their humble appearance.

Such shoddy waste is something that shouldn't be in a premium suite.

However, the owner of the room seems to cherish this useless garbage, as evidenced by the neat arrangement and the precious red carpet used for the foreshadowing.

It seems that the owner of the room has a very special taste and seems to like playthings with a retro flavor.

A huge rhinestone chandelier hung from the ceiling, but it was not lit.

Suddenly, a cozy sunlight that was perfect for sleeping shone in through the gold-encrusted window frames—

Because someone has completely pulled the looming translucent window open.

It was a maid in a black and white dress, and as she opened the curtains, she focused nervously on a boy who was hiding in a quilt and lying on the bed.

The eyes of happiness were closed, mixed with the murmuring of dreams and the slightly muffled snoring, and even the warm sun outside could not wake the boy.

The boy slept very soundly, and his sleeping position was unusually ugly.

The maid didn't know what kind of dream the boy was having - but it was certain that if the boy didn't wake up, it would be a big nightmare today.

A comfortable green dress squeezed out a little wrinkles because of the continuous rolling, and the cotton pants that should have been tightly tied with cotton strips were also miraculously loosened, and the last turn made the loose cotton pants almost detached from the slender waist-

Under the light of dawn, the white ass was exposed.

Just looking at this half-appearance, it is really hard to imagine that he is the owner of this high-end suite.

But to be precise, the boy only has the right to live in this kind of high-end suite because of his status.

Next to the relatively comfortable scenery, there is a very discordant panic.

"Prince, Prince! Please get up, if you don't get up, you won't be able to catch up with the lessons that King God has learned. ”

Obviously a servant who was inferior to the boy, the maid still risked offending her master, and with her trembling jade hands, she struggled to pull out the heavy white quilt.

The boy did not resist, or he could continue to sleep even without a quilt, and the warm sun shining in from the window was very comfortable.

Perhaps it was the maid's fault, and she should not have tried to wake the boy up with the stimulation of the sun.

Seeing that the boy was still lying on the bed, the maid recklessly touched the noble dragon's body - maintaining the moderate force of the following respect, trying to wake up the boy who was sleeping on the bed.

Obviously, trying to wake the boy up by shaking it was an effective ploy.

Even though the maid maintained a moderate amount of force, it was still a bit too much for a slender boy.

The near-violent shaking finally made the boy open his eyes slightly, and looked around with sleepy eyes—

The half-open eyes of a boy mean the success of the maid.

"Your Excellency! You're finally awake! ”

Obviously, it was just such an ordinary thing, and the maid was so moved that she wanted to cry.

This emotion can be experienced, after all, today's progress is very, very faster than usual.

But the maid seemed to be a little happy too soon—

Looking at the joyful maid beside the bed, the boy stared at him for five seconds without any nervousness—then closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

Yes, the boy is not going to get up anymore.

"Your Excellency! Please don't sleep anymore, you're already late——! ”

Retracting the momentary emotion, the panicked maid no longer cares about her strength, just grabs the boy's arms, and shakes the boy up in a panic with the strength of her usual housework.

What happened next seemed very important to the boy, but the boy, who was the person concerned, didn't care in the slightest.

Even the maid of the unrelated person is nervous than the boy.

However, there is something commendable about the boy's performance - that is, the fact that he stands still.

The maid's face has become wet and sticky unintentionally, and the tasteless sweat is mixed with a little teardrop overflowing from nervousness.

Because of the panicked mood, the maid's hand unconsciously became savage, and in the end she didn't know whether she was shaking the boy awake or the mattress that was about to break away from the bed frame.

Even so, the boy remained unmoved and continued to pretend to be asleep.

didn't use his own power to drive away the maid, and he didn't even show a little anger, and continued to lie on the bed as if he was pretending to be dead, slowly wearing out the maid's patience.

Should I say gentle or considerate? It's not something to be appreciated in any way.

The maid also knew that there was no singing "again" this morning.

Why "again"? It's because the same drama is played out every day.

Knowing that it was useless to rely on brute force, the maid who was physically and mentally exhausted was already sitting on the clean ground tired, intending to understand it and move it with affection.

"Your Excellency! Please hurry up! You have been late for a long time, and this will cause the displeasure of the minister. ”

"Well—five more minutes."

"Prince......

The tears that welled up in her eyes were all the more uncontrollable by anxiety, and even though it was a daily routine every morning, as the lowliest maid in the palace, no one cared about her toil and troubles.

At this moment, an urging came from outside, attracting the attention of the maid.

"Wu, the sun is drying your butt, hurry up and go to class! How long are you going to keep the minister waiting? ”

A majestic call filled the room, and the sound seemed to come from the doorway outside.

This is the voice of accountability from a middle-aged man, and the rough voice makes people feel both strong and brave.

And such a strong voice, and being able to call the boy's real name without hesitation, there is only one in the royal city-

When the maid looked up, her face immediately turned pale, her legs were weaker than they had just been, and the momentary shock made it difficult to breathe.

A pitch-black iron jumpsuit armor, with a simple color scheme, can appreciate the brilliance of this countless battles.

The dark palms fit the color of the armor a little, and the stubble next to the cheeks, the loose reggae braids, the dark circles under the eyes, and the spiritless dead fish eyes give people a lazy feeling.
