Chapter Twenty-Seven: Chasing the Dragon and the Tiger

In dreams, the three of them are always tired, so it's better not to dream.

At Pelos's house, it was all night long, and in the study, everyone was anxiously looking at newspapers of different dates in their hands.

Pelos sat almost upright at the table, his eyes staring viciously at the newspaper in his hand, his anger was suppressed by him, but he still had the momentum of anger, and the third next to him had to wipe the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

The headline in the newspaper was marked with the words that made him so angry: "The situation is critical! The Imperial Justice Department has imprisoned non-Imperial visitors on a large scale, and the Principality's proposal to negotiate has been rejected, mainly including the Principality's envoy Chris Irvin and ten others. 】

"Isn't that a tear in your face?" Pelos smacked the table, "Why the hell did they make such a decision?"

He looked at Raft, who was also frowning sadly, "What did you say?"

Kaft glanced at him and placed it on the table with great reluctance, and the title was also terrifying [State of Emergency!] 】

Pelos took the newspaper, and as soon as he opened it, the black and white face of the dragon beard appeared on the newspaper, this painted color image only had the portrait of the dragon beard man, and the white fluorescent dots around, this is a standard posthumous portrait.

[Condolences! The peace messenger Gulong fighter Snapdragon Duke Longxu Duke Ao Chen was assassinated, and war mobilization was imminent. Take a quick look at the beginning and end of the [Great Purge] in three minutes! 】

Pylos sweated from his palms just because he was getting old, and after reading it quickly, he probably knew what was going on.

Seven years ago, no, although it was seven years ago that the princess and her own people disappeared, but the time point when the princess disappeared was seven years ago, the dragon faction lost the backbone of its support, and was assassinated a large number of times, the biggest of which was the dragon beard Gong, and the entire dragon faction led by it was greatly divided.

Emperor Long Xu lost the protection of the orthodox blood of the imperial daughter and was politically imprisoned in the royal prison of Fran, and the newly supported side prince [George Elizabeth Nosades] of the Tiger Chase faction took over as the king of the principality.

The Tiger Chase faction instantly took over the Flying Eagles, including the change of captains of the Flying Eagles in various places, the change of badges or the revocation of titles by personnel with knighthoods.

The rookie of the Interior Affairs Office [Samuel Lie] took over the Interior Affairs Office and issued a strategy to strengthen the military division, as well as a series of high-pressure policies against the border guards.

In other words, during the period of their disappearance, there was an event within the principality known as the Great Purge.

The Magic Desk Publishing House, which published the news, soon went out of business, and then a news story called the Forbidden Demon Society Press took over.

The tone of the Forbidden Demon Society Press is basically a big criticism of the Dragonbeard Prince, accusing it of wasting the Empire's weak decade, during which there have been large and small demonic infections all over the Empire, and when the Empire is exhausted, the Dragonbeard Princesses have insisted on obstructing the expansion of the Principality's strategic armaments, wasting a great opportunity to attack.

Therefore, the Tiger Chasers believed that the assassination of such a "big man" who wasted "national fortune" was caused by the anger of the people, and the principality was still under the control of the empire at this time because of the historical problems of [Tamoka].

According to their words, the assassination of Long Xu Gong was "more than innocent", the "Great Purge] represented the execution of justice, and the "banishment" or imprisonment of the Dragon-Seeking faction was "the wish of the people".

Kaft looked at the statue of the dragon's beard, a little trance, and a little sad from it.

Thinking that he trusted himself the most, but let himself resign as a captain, secretly protect the princess, and escape a shocking catastrophe and purge, everyone is sad and sad.

"It's all my fault." Pelos sadly folded the newspaper and placed it next to him according to the year, he lowered his head, and for a while he didn't know what to do, he said, rubbed his eyes, and let out a sigh: "If I go alone to help the third generation, it will be good, you stay seven years ago to protect the princess, and if the princess does not disappear for these seven years, maybe things will not be as bad as they are now."

"How can I blame you, Pelos, don't blame yourself." Kaft put his hand on the newspaper and took it away, he might still want to take a look, but suddenly he was not interested: "What I'm most worried about is how Her Royal Highness should face it, George probably wouldn't give up if he hadn't seen the body of the princess openly." What kind of mood is this for her who is alone now. ”

"We have to tell her the truth about what happened, and the rest is up to her, Raft." Pelos held his hand tightly, his slender hands were intertwined, as if they were inseparable, he was anxious and painful, Pelos's golden eyes stared at Kaft, but he was a little resolute, his voice was low and extremely serious: "Listen to me, Kaft, your current identity is very special, you are different from Her Royal Highness, you are only a member of the former Dragon Trend Sect, if you don't grasp your movements well, it is likely that both sides will not please you, I believe that the Dragon Trend Sect must be thinking about how to turn this pond of troubled waters, but can they make it, There is also a bond, and this bond is the princess who has appeared now, and for you, everything you have needs to be calm. ”

Pelos took out another newspaper that he hadn't read and knocked it with his hand: "A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late."

This is what he said to Kraft, Pelos seemed to know what Kraft was going to do, Pelos recovered quickly from his sadness, he was just a scholar without any position, he could just be a friend of the princess, not any related figure, but Kraft couldn't, it was the Dragon Whisker who died, and the person who was imprisoned may be his former colleague, and Kraft must have a resolute position.

Because in a newspaper, the special [missing person notice] of the princess was prominently published with the colorful image of the princess.

The princess of a country actually needs to publicly search for someone, and the mind of its publisher is simply Sima Zhao's heart, which is known to everyone.

"I understand. Pelos. Kaft also tried to recover from his grief, but it didn't work, he was visibly choked up and took a big breath.

"Grandpa, is it because of me?" Although the third world was a little dazed, she could not understand such a thing quickly, and she had no way of knowing what the names in the newspaper meant, she could only guess that because of her arrival, it led to the disappearance of the past seven years, the disappearance of a very important person, which led to the turmoil of the situation and triggered a series of butterfly effects.

And the source of this butterfly effect may be because he needs the help of his grandfather to save the world that has been dominated by the master brain of the copper jade clan [Queen Bee].

Although her arrival did not have an impact on her own world, through the space-time transition theory, the location they returned to was seven years later, rather than the point in time they left, which means that it was indeed their grandfather's original plane, not some space-time break - for example, they did not come to it, and there were two Pelos at the same time in 2033.

Everything is a continuation of seven years ago, not a new world seven years later.

Pelos felt her self-reproach, but instead of speaking to her directly to answer her, he put a newspaper in front of her: "You look for the name of Grandpa Tang Zilong, as well as Downton Technology, and record the information about them."

He rubbed his temples: "Don't think too much about children, for things in this situation, it can only be ranked into the category of what I think is a mild crisis, the situation is bad, it is not the main problem, the main problem is that we can't take the initiative to give up and face difficulties."

"Okay~"

In the following time, the information about Tang Zilong can be summarized as Tang Zilong's father Downton was depressed because of the disappearance of his precious son, and the research and development of Downton's technological weapons was more extreme and cruel, except for the release of various explosive weapons, there was no other use for product releases. Of course, there is still one, such as the sale of Tang Zilong's "posthumous work" [Ranger Iron Cavalry] was monopolized by the Tiger Chaser faction for military vehicles, and was not sold to the public.

Although there are many imitations, they are all castrated versions, and there is a lot of information reported in the newspapers, and most of them are negative.

For the rest, there is no information about Tang Zilong.

As for Pelos's own information, it must be minimal, he is not in the public's field of vision, there is very little news about him and Scarna, Tang Zilong, and even Kaft, which is also normal, his ultimate goal is to understand what is probably going on, but most of the past seven years have been the replacement of the Tiger Chase faction, and there are relatively few reports on other places, including the decrease in the reports of Shadow Hunters.

However, what can be known at the moment is that the relationship between the Aether Empire, the Duchy of Arlan, the Elven Kingdom, and the Hundred Beast Kingdom is extremely tense, so that everyone in other places is in danger.

Another interesting fact is that the article of the Formal Expedition Society, an alliance of archaeologists or expeditions [Barenlov Big Hat Expedition Society], amused Pylos.

They claimed that the disappearance of Pelos was not a loss to the archaeological community, but the end of a kind of "cult" archaeology.

The color image happened to be a photo of Pelos encountering a huge king cobra during an expedition with other explorers, and the image of Pelos kissing the king cobra that seemed to be standing taller than him, this kind of embarrassment did not make Pelos angry, but made him laugh.

It may be that he thinks that compared to the purge that has taken place in the past seven years, compared to the actual death figures, this kind of personal ridicule by the Big Hat Association is simply not worth mentioning, but childish and ridiculous.

Everyone was a little tired, Tang Zilong came to the study to read the newspapers that had been sorted out, and put some letters that he thought were useful on the table, and just when they were all a little sleepy, Erica entered the study with a cake, and Scana also came back with a whole roast duck, which made everyone uneasy.

I'm so hungry.

"It's half past five, and we're going to school." Erica put the cake on the table, breakfast was ready, and Her Royal Highness helped me a lot. ”

"What about Her Royal Highness?" Kaft eats the skin of the roast duck, revealing the tender flesh of the roast duck.

"Rest in my room." Erica looked at the third and touched her head with a chicken leg in one hand.

"Are you going to school so early? Did your brother wake up? "Pelos eats duck neck, which is troublesome to eat, but he eats very slowly, and he has no shy face, and eats with relish.

"Yes, I'll call him now. I guess he's about to wake up. Erica nodded, she was tall, wearing Fran's magic robes, her long skirt was very clean, she was already a well-dressed student, she was only a little lower than the bookshelf when she stood.

"You're a cheat, aren't you?" Pelos watched Tang Zilong pick out the roast duck meat and put it in front of the third world. Skarna is doing the same, and the third world eats happily, even overwhelmed, although Tang Zilong will tease her to eat what is in front of her.

"Yes, we are a referral for the Carolingian family. If there is, there should still be His Excellency Long Whisker, but now, it's hard to mention. Erica replied, not leaving.

"That's true." Pylos stood up and wiped off the grease with a hand towel, "I'm going to see the headmaster today, can you lead the way for me?" I have something very important to ask him. ”

"You mean Headmaster Philip?" Erica rested the plate on her waist, she would look like a maid if she wore a maid outfit, and she probably looked like this when she took care of Lilia Caroling.

"yes, what's wrong?" Afraid that something was wrong, Pelos walked up to him, although compared to the height, Pelos barely aligned with her, but Erica was on the thin side, looking very tall, plus the proportions were excellent, uneven, slim, and Pelos seemed to be a little shorter in front of him.

"It's okay, I just never went to see the principal. Just know his name. ”

"It's okay that Fran's students haven't taken the initiative to meet the principal, he's the life coach of every Fran teacher and student," Pelos was surprised, but he could only stretch and rub his waist.

"I'll take you to meet, don't think that the plug-in students can't meet the principal, Fran's plug-in students are all recommended by the family, and they are not far behind." Tang Zilong looked at Erica, disapproving at the shyness of this tall little girl: "If you haven't been to see the principal for seven years because of your identity as a plug-in student, then you don't have to, the principal takes a fancy to every student studying in Fran, you can just ask any questions, as long as she is here."

"I see, thank you." Erica nodded, but it could be seen that there was still some concern for this identity, and normal people should have it, after all, it was not an officially enrolled student of Fran.

"It's not easy for you two brothers and sisters, and in Fran, it's actually quite tiring. If you say, lonely. Skarna spoke, looking at the smiling III.

Erica shook her head: "No, after all, our parents have already told us that this will be the case, and we know their difficulties, maybe there used to be a little, but now my brother and I are in each other's company and do not feel lonely."

"Your brother, tell him to get up. Let's go for a trip, I remember that you can get a regular after passing the senior exam, and if your grades are okay, maybe Skarna and I can get other tutors to help you with tutoring, if you want, of course. "Pelos patted his body to warm his body, he will do a long recovery movement after sitting for a long time.

"Thank you for your kindness, but my brother can't learn magic." Erica smiled a little disappointed: "This seems to be innate, there is no way, but my brother is smarter, can make accurate maps and traditional equipment, and learns ordinary courses well." I don't know if you can help him. ”

"Can't do magic?"

Pylos looked at Erica.

Erica nodded.

"Are you sure?"

Tang Zilong put down the roast duck.

Erica nodded.

"Then your brother's plug-in student is a bit powerful." Kaft scratched his head: "I remember His Excellency Dragonbeard said that both of you are extremely talented magicians."

Erica shook her head, "He's tried many ways to expand his magic, but he still can't learn it. I'm sorry, I didn't lie to you. ”

"What's this, Kraft, Pyros, and I don't know how to magic, don't they? Wouldn't you still be Fran's mentor? Tang Zilong also stood up and wiped his hands with a towel.

"You're right. I don't argue. Geniuses and madmen are only in a thought. ”

Kaft watched as the door to the study was opened, and everyone looked at the man, and a boy with short blonde hair looked at the study in confusion and asked in a very soft voice.

"Rarity, let's go, don't be late."

Everyone looked at him, making him tilt his head in confusion, his magic robe perfectly proportioned with his tall body.

He touched his chin and closed the door for some reason.
