Volume 1 Threesome Chapter 102 The Queen on the Throne
A week after Midi returned to the Eagle's Nest, Fina announced the introduction of a new exchange system.
In this new system, a variety of materials are the key to obtaining contribution points. The rewards that can be redeemed add a large number of skills, magic, and superb equipment.
The new system caused an instant sensation, not only among the adventurers, but also among the nobility.
When Fina first established the Falcon Regiment, many nobles noticed this, and there were all kinds of people in the Eagle's Nest, and there were always many spies. Moreover, Fina has been promoting it with great fanfare, and she has never kept it a secret.
However, none of the nobles thought that this would succeed.
After all, in the eyes of the aristocracy, adventurers are nothing more than a plate of loose sand, and they are not as good as the army in terms of combat effectiveness, and they are all unruly and undisciplined, and the price to pay if they want to be incorporated into an army is too great. With the Asrex family's little background, I'm afraid that before we can gather many people, they will go bankrupt immediately, right?
There was even a time when the "Falcon Troupe" became the gossip and joke of the nobles at their afternoon tea parties. Many people are betting on when the Asrex family will go bankrupt.
But now, when the new contribution point system and redemption list came out, everything changed.
A discerning person can see at a glance the relationship between "income" and "expenditure". For example, the materials on the Gu Killing Worm can obtain a large number of contribution points, but a larger number of contribution points can be exchanged for a "Killing Gu Bone Knife".
Obviously, the Falcon Regiment has formed a production cycle, as long as someone redeems it, then they will have more and more materials, more and more equipment will be manufactured, and more and more adventurers will be attracted. And more importantly, many of the equipment and recipes are unique and have never been seen by the aristocratic and wealthy families!
Thinking of the unknown whereabouts of Midi Asrex for a month, the nobles had vaguely deduced the truthβ
Inheritance, the Asrex family must have been inherited!
Elven Court Inheritance!
Along with this sensational truth, this paper exchange list not only continued to spread in the hands of adventurers, but also many noble gentlemen who thought highly of themselves began to read the contents carefully.
And at this moment, in one of the splendid and extravagant buildings of Huttonmar, the capital of the principality, there is such a well-maintained slender hand, holding a list of redemptions.
This list is not an ordinary version of Fina that has been described, but a re-transcribed version. The font on it is the font used only by court clerks, the ink exudes a slight refreshing fragrance, and the paper is the finest faroese paper.
It's just that the person who looked at it only glanced at it a few times, then snorted coldly, and vigorously clumped the list into a ball and threw it into the trash.
"Hmph, for the safety of the principality and the people, please clear the monsters...... It's a high-sounding thing. To put it bluntly, it is just to use cheap weapons and equipment to win over those low-class civilians who see money and let them go to work for their lives. On the soft sofa in the center of the luxurious room, the blonde woman said contemptuously.
The woman, who was about twenty years old and only slightly older than Fina and Midi, was the titular ruler of the Duchy of Belmar, Queen Skadi Baroye.
In the queen's faction headed by the Hamilton family, the word "queen" comes from her.
But in fact, apart from the symbols, Queen Skadi's presence is really low. Most of the occasions that she needs to attend are the opening ceremonies of various principalities, festivals, etc., or the greetings at the New Year's ball.
In fact, the reason why she was able to become a queen at such a young age was all because of the little opinion that the iron-blooded Grand Duke said casually before the New Year - let the young girl with a better image take the throne early, and it can also show the vitality and new atmosphere of our Duchy of Belmar.
So, five years ago, Skady took the place of her mother and sat on the throne.
Just because of a word from the Hamilton family.
Skady will never forget that moment, the moment when she ascended to the throne, and the moment when the entire Baroye royal family was humiliated.
And now, when Fina achieved the miracle of "one man and one city" and was crowned with the title of Queen of Magic Bullets, the first thing that comes to mind when people talk about the queen is Fina Hamilton, and the real queen is forgotten in the corner, like the dusty bottles and cans in the deepest part of the warehouse, which never shine in the sun.
So, now Skady not only hates the Hamilton family, but especially Fina Hamilton.
Is this to deprive even the title of "Queen", the only one that still belongs to the royal family of Baroye, to be stripped away?
Is this a prelude to the intention to completely tear off the mask of hypocrisy and directly reign over the Duchy of Belmar?
Shameless!
Queen Scady thought through gritted teeth, and then, looking at the other side, said coldly, "Although it is good that all the people who have been summoned are mud legs, what that Fina Hamilton is doing now is a blatant expansion of the army!
"Your Majesty, the current situation of the Principality is not good. After the fire in the Gran Forest, mutated monsters were everywhere, killing one batch and another, and the robbers began to wander around, making it even more difficult for the caravan to move. Most of the nobles are too busy to take care of themselves, and they are busy suppressing bandits and monsters all day long, so what spare energy do they have to take care of this 'Falcon Regiment'?" Across a table, a handsome young man with pale blonde curled short hair spread out his hands and smiled bitterly, and sighed again.
"And what about you Hamiltons?" asked Queen Scardy incessantly.
The young man, who sat across from the Queen, also had the surname Hamilton. In fact, this Domingo Hamilton is usually responsible for the liaison with the royal family of Baroye.
However, it is clear that at this moment, what he is doing is not "liaison", but "association", and even "conspiracy".
"The head of the family thought that this would strengthen the family, and he made a statement at the beginning, so there would be no other voice. Domingo replied lightly, his expression calm, but his expression became solemn at the mention of the word "head of the house".
"Hmph, deliberately letting your precious granddaughter control such an army, and conniving at her to mingle with the nouveau riche of Asrex, it seems that your old man is determined to let Fina take the throne. Queen Scardy laughed darkly, and Domingo's face suddenly became a little ugly.
But after a few seconds, the handsome young man regained his former elegance: "It's okay, just like we planned, Fina won't have a chance." β
As if to verify Domingo's words, suddenly, a pigeon crossed the wall of the palace that reached high into the sky, vibrated its wings and landed on the ebony railing in front of the window.
Queen Skady reached out and untied the magic ankle band from the pigeon's foot, taking out the faro paper inside.
"Finally, at last everything is arranged!" flashed an unconcealed joy in the queen's eyes, a mixture of vengeful fanaticism and a thirst for power.
"In this way, my respectable cousin will soon lose her greatest support. Domingo took the gauze paper and swept it slightly, a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, don't be ignorant, you've always wanted to taste Fina's little beauty, right?" said Queen Skady with a chuckle, but her tone grew colder.
Domingo instantly sensed the jealousy in the queen's heart, and hurriedly said, "How come? How can a little girl like Fina, who has not yet opened her amorousness, match your beauty and charm?"
"Hmph!" Although he knew that the young man in front of him and himself were just using each other, this sycophant still made Queen Skadi very useful, and the corners of her mouth showed a faint smile again, but this time, it was with an irresistible charm and charm.
With small and graceful steps, Queen Skady walked to the couch.
"Alas, very tired," said the queen, lying sideways on a bed of brocade embroidered with golden roses, taking off her hairpin and untying the strap on her breast. Under the soft silk dressing gown, the skin is exposed, and the curves of the body are exquisite, which makes the blood flow and make the blood flow.
"Domingo, come here, tonight, let's relax. The queen waved lazily, with a hint of flattery in her voice.
"Yes, let's relax......" The young man with curled blonde hair carefully burned the expensive piece of paper before turning around and walking to the bedside.
Soon, fierce gasps and moans filled the room.
Three days later.
A faint light flew above the clouds at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch, like a lead-gray meteor.
The light flew for a long time, crossed many territories, and finally fell towards one place.
It was the territory of the Asrex family, where the eagle's nest was located.
This light broke through the air, ignoring the many forbidden circles arranged in the castle of the Eagle's Nest, and directly penetrated it, it circled around the outside of the castle, finally determined the final destination, and then rushed into one of the rooms.
It was the Witch of the Mist's room.
However, this dim light fell on the palm of the girl with bright red hair.
Then, like ripples on the surface of the water, it fluctuated in waves, and eventually, it turned into a note.
Fina put down the white-glazed porcelain teacup in her hand, unfolded the note, and quietly read the contents on it. The note was short and had very little content, however, Fina read it for a long time, as if she were reading word by word, and every word had to be read for a long time.
On the other side, Midi and Alice glanced at each other and chose to wait.
After a long time, the red-haired girl finally raised her head. She quietly looked at her two closest companions, took a deep breath, and then said softly: "The family secret report, grandpa is critically ill." β
The Iron Lord fell.
It's a very simple sentence.
However, for every Belmar person, and especially for the nobility, this is an unusually heavy sentence.
It seems to herald the upheaval, the early opening is imminent.
