Volume III, Chapter 36

Because he ate a piece of cassava raw, His Majesty Lu Man of the Holy Capital began a life of using the toilet as his home all day long, accompanied by his beloved toilet.

But he was very happy in his heart, he thought that he had at least seen through the conspiracy of the Kaida familyβ€”what a vicious Kaida family, such a vicious conspiracy!

With the support of a relaxed and happy mood, His Majesty Lu Man insisted on handling government affairs and tried to fulfill his obligations as an emperor.

Allocate the funds needed for the enthronement ceremony, prepare the items needed for the enthronement ceremony, draw up the list of guests to attend the enthronement ceremony, urgently prepare the royal dress, honor guard, royal insignia, and of course, the most important thing, invite the cardinal priests of the Temple of Light to preside over the enthronement ceremony......

At the urging of His Majesty Lu Man, the Holy Capital Temple sent an envoy to the Temple of Paradise Island.

However, the envoy, who was carrying three gilded invitations, was unable to enter the gate of the Temple of Paradise Island, and the white-robed priest at the door told him: "Wait, the three adults are attending the meeting." ”

This is not a lie, the three cardinal priests are waiting for a very important meeting, and the presiding officer of this meeting is the princess of the Protoss of Light, Lord Charlotte Knach.

The March deadline has arrived, the orthodox royal family of the Sbia Empire is dead, the empire is in shambles, and there are still two factions that claim to be the orthodox emperor...... What do the priests of the Temple of Light eat?

The Light Protoss could no longer tolerate it, and Princess Charlotte Knach had sent an order that morning, and the three cardinal priests had opened the magic circle in the inner garden early, and the royal representatives from the seven god-dependent countries were waiting in fear.

But Princess Charlotte Knach in the palace of the Holy Mountain of Light was in no hurry to preside over this meeting. She finished a vase of flower arrangements in a perfect time. Personally held it to the palace of the eldest princess. On her sister, Princess Lirita Knach, on her desk.

The younger sister's euphemistic way of apologizing did not get an eager response from the elder sister, and the eldest princess asked the maid to take the chair with a calm attitude, and politely invited her sister to sit down, and the two princesses of the Protoss talked seemingly casually in the courtyard.

"Sister, there's a meeting at the temple later. Princess Charlotte cautiously consulted her sister's opinion: "It's about the current situation of the Sbia Empire, where it's a mess right now, and it doesn't work." Sister, do you have any opinions?"

"Isn't there a temple manipulating it all the time?" Princess Lirita glanced at her sister, "What are you worried about?"

"The way things are going...... Some of them were unexpected. It's not easy to say that. For Princess Charlotte, it was almost a towel: "The two sides of the fight still haven't come to a second place. ”

Princess Lirita stood up, "What do you mean, who do you think should win?" or who do you want to win?"

"God has spoken. Princess Charlotte's eyes followed her sister's slowly walking figure: "We shouldn't focus on these things, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, what matters is the ending that is beneficial to us." ”

Hearing this, Princess Lirita turned around and sighed softly.

"Sister......" Princess Charlotte was a little confused by her sister's demeanor.

"It's late, you're late. Princess Lirita looked at her sister, "When the Father said these words to you, did the Emperor of the Spya Empire, Fischet, Shamai, die?"

Princess Charlotte shook her head.

"And now that Fichette Shamai is dead, who do you think Cohen Kelda will hate?" the eldest princess sat back in her chair, "Man is a strange creature. They sometimes get tremendous motivation for a friend, and they also make tremendous sacrifices for a friend. Cohen Kelda is not a stupid person. You think he's only going to hate the Temple?"

"That'...... What can we do now?"

"Two ways. Princess Lirita looked at her sister: "You have missed the best time, I hope these two solutions can remedy the situation." ”

"What's the solution?"

"Use the Divine General, inflict divine punishment, and immediately kill Cohen Al Kaida and the humans to whom he belongs, and wipe out this force in its infancy. Princess Lirita raised her eyebrows: "If you want to live a stable life, this is the most rational way." ”

"This ...... It's going to kill tens of millions of people, but that's not a problem. Princess Charlotte said, "The crux of the matter is that the Father does not agree to kill Cohen Kayada. ”

"Come to think of it, this method is easy to use, but it is very troublesome afterwards. Princess Lirita sighed again: "Then use the second method, from this moment on, you will decide a matter of impartiality." ”

"Decide?"

"Yes, to be impartial, to be absolutely just...... Isn't there still a meeting, you can go quickly!" The eldest princess nodded, "Remember, you have to come here often." ”

Walking on the steps, Princess Charlotte kept thinking about her sister's words, thinking about how to be absolutely fair in the current situation.

Through the magic array, Princess Charlotte and the god of war come together to the inner garden of the temple. Looking at the human kneeling on the ground in front of her, the princess was a little annoyed.

"Get up!" Princess Charlotte didn't even want to go into the room: "Just stand here and say a few words." ”

"Yes, my lord, I listen to my lord. The well-dressed red-clothed chief priest accompanied the smiling face.

"Why are you still here?" Princess Charlotte said lightly, "Do you think that you are still qualified to be the high priest of the Temple of Light?"

"Great, my lord......" Although the red-clothed chief priest didn't understand a little, he reacted quickly, and immediately knelt on the ground again: "Your Excellency!"

"The three-month period was said by you personally. Princess Charlotte's tone was flat, but it sounded like a deafening thunder to the chief priest: "Now that the time has come, how are things going on in the Sbia Empire?"

"My lord, my lord!" the chief priest was in a hurry, "because the situation in the Sibian Empire has changed again......"

The god of war, who was standing behind Princess Charlotte, smiled coldly.

"What day will things in this world not change?" The God of War stepped forward: "You all know the matter of the Demon Palace's Golden Robe Zuo Priest who judged himself because he deceived the Demon Princess! Anyone here can defend you. ”

The attitude of the god of war. Princess Charlotte didn't stop it. The chief priest was too frightened to speak. The body was soft, and the hands and feet were twitching non-stop.

The left and right sacrifices lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out, and at the same time they were secretly rejoicing...... It's not yourself who is unlucky.

Seven representatives of the royal family of the Divine Kingdom stood behind the priest and watched this scene with cold eyes. These people are all veterans of officialdom for many years, and they know that the suppression of the chief sacrifice by the princess of the Protoss as soon as she appears is a hint to herself, and it also shows the change in the direction of the Protoss...... Now, it's strange that someone cares about the fate of the chief priest.

"Someone. Take the former chief priest down. Princess Charlotte thought for a moment: "Hold it up first, and then decide what to do with it later." ”

In an instant, the word "predecessor" was added to the name of the chief priest, and he was dragged down like a dead dog by two handsome white-robed priests.

Princess Charlotte looked at the left and right priests again, and frightened the legs and stomachs of the two priests who were usually powerful.

It stands to reason that the left priest and the right priest should be imprisoned together, but Princess Charlotte thought carefully and decided to keep these two people for the time being. Of course, this doesn't mean that Princess Charlotte has forgiven them – the responsibility of the temple needs to be taken on once the facts are clear. At that time, the two men will be held accountable, and the new cardinal priest will be able to come to power cleanly.

"You two. Temporarily manage the day-to-day affairs of the temple. Princess Charlotte made a decision: "As for the affairs of the Sbia Empire, you don't have to ask. ”

"Yes, sir. The two priests came back to their souls, thinking that they had passed this level, but they did not know that they were going to be unlucky.

"Well, representatives of the royal family. Princess Charlotte looked at the delegates: "What do you think about the current situation?"

Several delegates looked at each other, and none of them wanted to speak first.

"Representative of the Bansai Empire, a large part of the materials during the turmoil in the Sibia Empire were sent in by your country. Princess Charlotte asked, "How do you explain it?"

"Please be clear. The representative of the Bansai Empire replied, "Until then, we could not get direct guidance from the Protoss. His Majesty of our country strictly obeyed the oracle and obeyed the dispatch of the red-clothed priests of the Temple of Light. The red-clothed priest ordered the allocation of supplies, and of course my majesty allocated it......"

This explanation is plausible. Princess Charlotte looked at the representative of the Tanxi Empire again: "Almost more than half of the rebels in the Sibia Empire are from the Tanxi Empire, what's going on?"

"Return to my God. The shrewd representative of the Tanxi Empire replied: "That's because of the order of the cardinal priests, who ordered our majesty to disband the five legions, and then let these soldiers enter the Sbia Empire as mercenaries...... They said that this was the will of the great gods, and that His Majesty still kept the letterhead of that time, which could be checked at any time. ”

"That's ......" Princess Charlotte nodded, and looked at the two cardinal priests, "Whose idea was it?"

"Hui, Hui, my lord. Zuo Priest was frightened again: "It's the chief priest, it's the previous chief priest who did it, and we don't know it." ”

Princess Charlotte remembered her sister's admonition and took a few random steps in the garden.

"Left sacrifice, right sacrifice. ”

"In!"

"Take back the power of all the temples in the Spya Empire, the Knights of Light have been investigating for so long and it is still in vain, so don't lose face anymore. Princess Charlotte arranged: "The temples of light everywhere hold their stance, and stop advocating which side is orthodox." I have my own plans as to who is right and who is wrong. ”

"Yes, sir!"

"The delegates of all countries shall return to their homes at once, and tell your emperor that from now on, not a grain of grain or a cart of supplies shall be brought into the Sibian Empire...... All the mercenaries sent by various countries have also been withdrawn. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"First of all. Princess Charlotte turned around: "I will send an envoy to the Sbia Empire to find out the situation." ”

"Greetings, sir. "There was another man kneeling in the ground.

Although the meeting was brief, the shock it brought to the representatives of the royal family was strong...... There will be major changes at the top of the Temple of Light, and of course there will be changes at the top of the temples of various countries, which will seriously affect the political situation of a country.

Compared with. The impact of this meeting on the situation in the Sbia Empire. They don't care so much.

But...... They don't care. Someone cares.

Thousands of miles away, the Demon Alliance, the Brook Empire, the capital Foxburgh.

Because of the long distance, it took a lot of time for the information from Spiya to reach Count Sveys Hepburn. On the day of the special meeting at the Temple of Light, information had just arrived about his long-time nemesis, Cohen Al Ketta, who had planted wild cassava.

After reading the information, Earl Sveys Hepburn walked into the study without saying a word, and looked carefully at the carpet with his head down...... The carpet in the study is a huge map of the entire Sbia Empire.

Because he is his long-cherished enemy. So Sveys Hepburn didn't want Cohen Kelda to fall now, and that the enemy who led Marshal to commit suicide should be defeated at his own hands...... It should be defeated at your own hands again and again.

So, when he heard that the enemy was short of food, he almost wanted to send food to this guy.

But this is difficult.

And now, Cohen Al Al Qaida is growing wild cassava...... Why is that? Is this the alternative food he was looking for?

"Someone. The Earl of Sweys commanded, "Go get some carts of cassava and come back, and invite the President of the Royal Academy to come to my house tonight...... Then tell the steward to go to the market and buy thirty able-bodied slaves to come back. ”

At noon on the same day, the back garden of the Earl of Sveys Hepburn's palace staged a farce on the square of the palace of the Holy Capital a few days ago, almost identical, but slightly different in scale.

At the last minute. Count Sveys Hepburn looked at the wild cassava in his hand, but didn't put it in his mouth like someone did.

in his face. A smile appeared.

Gradually, the unrest in the empire showed signs of calming down, and the armies on all sides were no longer moving frequently. For various unknown reasons, the opposing sides are silent on a dividing line that cannot be seen on the map.

Unrest, mutiny, killings...... This qiΔ“ catastrophe in the eyes of the world cannot stop the pace of time in the slightest. The long time is still flowing slowly and resolutely forward...... Finally, in the ringing of the bells of the entire Biss continent, the new year has arrived.

Conson Province, the capital of Conson City.

The geographical location of the province of Conson is between the Holy Capital and the Dark Province, and of course, as an important military barrier to the Holy Capital, this province is not on the front line.

The position of the province of Conson was so important, and the governor was naturally a close confidant of His Majesty Lu Man. Before the rebellion of the Holy Capital, and even before Cohen Al Al Qaida became a political pawn, the governor was a pawn of His Majesty Ruman, and he remained steadfast in his allegiance to Ruman.

At the same time as this governor, there were three other governors who were loyal to Lu Man and had the same status: the governors of the provinces of White Frost, Folu, and Kittai.

On the eve of the New Year, the four governors received no small number of rewards. One carriage after another brought His Majesty's love from the Holy Capital, laden with splendid cloths, splendid gold coins, and tempting wine......

"Oops...... Husband, look. Looking at this gift, the governor's wife said to the governor with a happy face: "The gift of the left minister this time is really rich......

"It's ι™›xiΓ , ι™›xiΓ . The Governor walked over: "How many times have you said it, and you will be blamed by the Minister of Ceremonies for making a mistake in the future." ”

"Remembered. The Governor's wife smiled apologetically: "The New Year's ball will start in a while, the nobles of the city will come, I have to go and prepare." ”

"Be better prepared, let the nobles see the grandeur of our majesty. The Governor said to his wife, "By the way, when the ball is held, perhaps an envoy from the Holy Capital will come, and this will also be prepared." We want to return the favor to the envoy, a personal gift. ”

"Haven't all the gifts been given to the envoy of the Holy Capital?"

"A gift is a gift. As the Governor spoke, he proudly stroked his beard: "Do you think that during this New Year's period, your husband's title cannot be changed?"

"Ahh......h Iβ€”I'm going to change my clothes!"

The Governor, who was proud of the spring breeze, took care of his two sons and changed into formal dresses, and then he and his wife came to the door of the hall to receive the guests who had come to the ball.

As an official who has always been a staunch supporter of His Majesty, the Governor is naturally treated better than those officials who have wavered between His Majesty Luman and the Al Qeda family since the turmoil...... Tonight, this qiΔ“ effort will be rewarded.

Sumptly decorated carriages pulled up at the door, and the nobles attending the ball entered the hall with great grace and greeted the governor and his wife with the most amicable manner.

The Governor and his wife warmly received the guests, which was also one of the tasks assigned by His Majesty Lu Man during the New Year, which was to treat the nobles in a friendly manner, to let them see the sincerity of His Majesty Lu Man, and to dispel their wariness against His Majesty Lu Man, so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing and consolidating the rear.

As soon as the New Year passes, His Majesty Lu Man will ascend the throne, and by then the overall situation has been decided, and the Kaida family will not be able to turn over.

The first dance music slowly sounded, and the dance floor was full of pairs.

"Husband, I'm a little nervous. The Governor's wife put her head on her husband's chest: "Think about it, you're going to be honored again......"

"Don't be nervous, everything I do is for our family and for our children. The Governor comforted Madame: "Actually, it was a good idea in itself to support His Majesty Ruman, and we succeeded again. What could be more important than leaving an inheritance and merit for his sons?"

"But ......"

"It's okay, every family has to find a backer, it's not surprising, many people take refuge in His Majesty, we just came a little earlier...... You don't have to feel that you owe anyone. The Governor whispered: "History is written by men, and we will do better." ”

At the end of the dance, the attendants shouted, "Your Excellency the Governor, please give a New Year's message!"

Under the eager gaze of everyone, the Governor, whose face was full of red light, stepped onto the ceremony......

Outside the city of Conson, next to the trade road.

A dark shadow climbed the hill and watched the city from afar, untouched by the flames of war. The night breeze was blowing, the corners of the clothes were turning, and the black shadow stood quietly...... The colorful lights of the city lit for the New Year were reflected in his eyes.

"Sir, get ready. A surprisingly tall figure walked up and stood behind the black shadow and said.

"Rocks. The shadow raised his hand holding the sword, "Have you ever seen this sword?"

"Nope. ”

"This sword is made of black iron, and it is very precious to create it by the dwarven swordsmith himself. It was a gift I gave to Fichette when I went to the elves to study magic. The black shadow stroked the scabbard and said slowly, "But at that time, Fischette was still a prince, and he couldn't accept gifts from ministers, so he kept them with me...... I have never been able to give it to him, and I have never had a chance to give it to him again. ”

"......" the rock was silent.

"I'll use this sword tonight and put it in a wooden box. The shadow handed the sword to the rock: "Let's go." ”

"Yes!"

It wasn't long before several fully loaded carriages, escorted by a team of knights, slowly drove along the trade route to the closed city gates, and gradually, they entered the range of the magic lights on the city walls.

"Dismount the horses, stop advancing!" The officer on duty on the city wall ordered loudly: "Who dares to break into the city gate at night?"

"An envoy from the Holy Capital, His Majesty. A samurai stepped forward and replied: "The guards on duty immediately come down to check the customs documents, you can't afford to miss the time!"

"Yes, please wait, we'll be right here." The officer on duty immediately arranged for his men to go down to inspect him, and instructed the adjutant to report back to the Governor, and the envoy of the Holy Capital had arrived.

A group of soldiers descended the soft ladder, and the officer leading the team examined the envoy's Guan Wen in detail, and made a good gesture to the city wall. (To be continued......)
