7. Dark tide

"Lynn, you don't seem to look very good...... Is something wrong?"

When Xia returned, he found that Lin's expression was very strange, as if some words were stuck in his throat, and he was hesitating to say it...... I've just been away for a while, what happened here?

Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Xia, I think your purpose may be accomplished very smoothly, right?"

"Huh, what the hell are you talking about?"

Xia also experienced a short lag before he reacted, and what Lin said was that he and others needed to "borrow" the way to enter the demon world. But not to mention the shocking thing about trying to enter the Demon Realm, the entrance they asked for was a very difficult condition for the Southern Kingdoms to agree to - they would not let people from other countries roam in the sea where the crystallization towers might be hidden.

At this point, Xia Fangcai knocked on the side, and got a general attitude from the mouth of the minister who had already received it. If he can't find a breakthrough from the queen who hasn't met yet, Xia estimates that there will be some unpleasant conflicts on his side......

But looking at Lynn's posture, it seems that she is confident?

Xia suddenly thought of a rumor that Shalith had told her at the beginning, and then contacted the biggest breakthrough in the current environment, and couldn't help but understand where Lynn's confidence came from.

"Have you seen the little queen?"

"Eh, why do you know ...... Xia" was blocked by Xia Xian, and Lin couldn't help but be stunned, "Did you know Liliye before?"

Did they all call her by her name?, noting that Lin didn't care about the queen's name at all, Xia was still a little surprised—she didn't expect it. The two who met first didn't seem to cause any disharmony. In her mind, Lynn must be a little jealous...... It's not that Lynn is jealous. But Xia felt that Liliet, who had just become the queen, should not have a temper that would be compatible with Lin.

Doesn't seem to be the same as you imagined?

Lin didn't express her disgust with the other party, maybe the young queen unexpectedly got along with Lin in terms of personality, and the character that got along with Lin ...... Xia thought for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head - it seems that as long as he is not a disgusting type, he will not be too bad with Lin?

But from another point of view, the little queen's attitude towards Lynn seems to be quite good. At least there is definitely no domineering posture, you must know that Lin is the least willing to eat this set. This made Xia quite interesting, in the news she received. The queen was by no means a mild-mannered talker.

A person who can finally step on the body of another competitor to reach the top in a situation where he does not have an advantage in succession, gender, power accumulation, etc., even if he is smiling, Xia thinks that it is a smiling tiger - how can it be easy to match? Xia has also heard a series of news that has been circulated. And Salith once mentioned to her that if she was an enemy, it would definitely be an extremely difficult enemy.

(Staring-)

"Why...... Why are you staring at me all of a sudden?"

Lin was a little furious by Xia's eyes, and subconsciously moved her little buttocks back.

"There's a grapevine that Queen Lilia doesn't seem to be very interested in men...... Uh-huh, do you mean ......?"

"Don't talk so intimidating, okay!?"

Xia really lived up to her appearance, and the witch-like temptation in her words seemed to form a gentle plain hand. Let Lynn feel like she was sliding down her jaw...... Lynn shuddered.

Lynn had already met Liliet, and could see that the other party was not such a dangerous person: "The situation you said is absolutely impossible! Or are you more dangerous in the summer?"

"It's too much, how can you say that about me, it's a bad guy ......"

"Don't pretend, the owner of the herb shop just complained that two precious herbs had been stolen, and when I went to see Saris the next day, I found that she was in a state of mind...... Don't think I don't know which two herbs can be used to make a certain stimulant ♀ ♀!"

"Why, I'm not the kind of person you think - I didn't do any boring things like night raids that night, I just secretly recorded the images and sounds of Saris tossing ♀ ♀ and turning ♀......

“......”

Isn't this more dangerous!

If it is drugged to push down Papapa, it can be said to be based on carnal desire, but Xia's behavior has completely jumped out of normal physiological needs and entered the situation of hentai in a grand manner, right?

"I keep it with me here, do you want to see it?" Xia suddenly took out a crystal and displayed it in front of Lin, "It's just this one, there are no other branches?"

――I really want to see it!

Lynn sadly found that even after all this time, even if she had been asking to be a gentleman, there was still a hint of saltiness engraved in her instincts...... But I really want to see it! It's not just out of the mentality of looking at the girl, as a good friend, Salith has seen the unknown shameful side of her friend, no matter how you think about this kind of thing, it's a huge feeling!

Although Lin thinks that saying this seems to be very unfair to Saris, but there is no way, who made Sarisy essentially a beautiful girl (not the original)......?

"Devil! Natsu, you're really the devil!"

"Well, aren't you curious?"

In the face of Xia's ridicule, Lin blushed and nodded--seriously, she really didn't have much of a feeling about masturbation at the moment, and was more curious about the other side of her friend......

"Okay, no more fuss. ”

In Lynn's stunned and resentful gaze, Natsu put away the crystal that recorded Saris's top secret as if no one was there. Afterwards, Xia straightened his face and said sternly: "I have contacted some ministers a little, and the results I got are not very good-although I haven't done anything serious, but I know almost from just a few words. Some people in this country have their minds in mind...... A safe place, happy to enjoy without any tension. If the tone of the country as a whole is like this. I think the idea on Sally's side is simply extravagant. ”

It doesn't take much communication, and Xia can judge a lot of things.

"If I expected nothing bad, at least a considerable number of people are clinging to the 'peaceful and stable daily life' and refuse to let go, of course, this insistence on 'peace'. And it's just on themselves. Maybe some of them are still worried about the country, but I believe that most of them. But I just want my family to be safe. With the position of these people, I am afraid that they will not agree to the diplomatic request of the Empire's side. ”

Regardless of the pros or cons, these people remain hostile and negative in the face of anything that might make the current "good life" worse. Xia has not been in contact with people of this class in the past. It is clear that the concept of "everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door". How popular it is in this class.

"Well, it's impossible for a country to not have many people of insight, right?"

"We've just arrived, and not to mention whether it's time for a diplomatic showdown, I'm sure most of us here are unaware of the changes taking place in the Empire, and it's really hard to explain to them in a hurry - besides, it's not my job. As for the words of the insightful......"

Xia Po smiled helplessly: "None of them are stupid, they are all pretending to be stupid now." ”

As she passed by the banquet hall, Lilia glanced into it. In the end, he sighed and left without entering.

"陛xià. You're ......"

When they returned to the palace, the two ministers who followed her all the way to report on the various matters, could not help but be a little worried when they saw Liliet's expression and demeanor - did the young queen have any opinion about this magnificent dinner?

It's no wonder they think about it, after all, Lilier used to be an unfavored princess, and her life was quite low-key, and there were no rumors of generosity, wealth and luxury, presumably a person who did not have high requirements for the quality of life. And such a queen can easily be dissatisfied with extravagance and waste.

The two ministers couldn't help but wonder if it was the queen who was displeased.

"Don't be that nervous, I'm not angry. Seeing that sweat had begun to ooze from the foreheads of the two ministers behind her, Liliye felt a little disappointed at the same time - it seemed that she was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman in the hearts of many people...... It's no wonder, not to mention anything else, she just killed one of her "imperial brothers" with her own hands, and she scared the ministers a lot.

"I just think that ignorance is a blessing sometimes. ”

The two ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what the queen is talking about. Did she mean the people who were still singing and dancing at the banquet, but why did the Queen think they were "ignorant", and they had no way of knowing - or were they one of them?

"Obtuse ......"

Of course, if you two think that you have reached the point where you need to return to your hometown, you can claim that your brain is no longer good. Liliet's words made the two behind them swallow, of course they understood that this was a threat, and it seemed that the queen was not impressed by their overly humble lines.

What a straight queen who hates twists and turns......

The two ministers looked at each other, and they could see a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes - when Liliet was "threatening" them just now, she was very ungracefully rolling her dead fish eyes. Now the queen's character, to be honest, they are really a little overwhelmed, direct and reckless, and it doesn't seem that the lord of a country should have a city at all.

Of course, it's just "looking".

The simplicity and directness of the attitude, combined with the clarity of the mind, often made them feel a force that seemed completely unstoppable—Liliet's thoughts, her opinions, her orders, were like a sharp knife, cutting through all the organized excuses and prevarications, and sticking straight into the heart, making it impossible to raise the slightest thought of resistance.

"I just went to see a friend. ”

Lilier suddenly spoke.

"I've got some very bad news from her, even though the Empire is in a mess right now, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us...... I'm sure enough, though. It can be confirmed that the situation on the side of the 'Blue Tower' is inseparable from the abnormal changes in the imperial capital. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two ministers changed in unison.

"陛xià. Is that true?"

"Do you think I'm joking about this kind of thing?" Liliet glanced back, and the two ministers immediately shut their mouths, "That friend is from the Empire, but in all seriousness he has a relationship with me, and you don't have to worry if I'm being deceived—neither I nor she can lie about such a thing." ”

"That's right. The mutation of the Blue Tower and the Imperial Capital seems to be ......"

"It happened at the same time, right?"

The two ministers also suddenly thought of this—from the information coming from the Empire. The time mentioned seems to be really the same time as the changes in China?

"So you get it, right? We can't get out of it at all...... Perhaps the Empire needs our help to alleviate the chaotic situation and solve the dilemma of the Imperial Capital because of the chaos of the moment. But they still have room to turn around. And we're facing it here. But it is an existential disaster...... With regard to the situation, it is all the more urgent that we find a way out. At the end of the day, even if reluctantly, now we and the Empire are grasshoppers tied to a straw. ”

"Your Majesty, are you saying that we need to cooperate fully?"

"Of course not, if we are too enthusiastic, I believe that the Empire will suspect that we have some shady conspiracy, right?"

The two ministers looked at each other - from the perspective of an Imperial official, it seemed that this was really the case.

"When it's time to rip off, you still have to rip off. Try to be reluctant to do so, which is 'normal' in state-to-state relations. And in this way, they may not be able to suspect that something has happened in our country. In short, it is necessary to make a 'natural' appearance, and never let people know that there is something wrong with the Blue Tower. In the next few days, the task of communication and negotiation will be handed over to you, just grasp the degree......"

"Then His Majesty's friend...... No problem, right?"

"She's my friend. ”

Liliet's gaze looked straight at the other and she repeated in a cold tone, "If you don't hear clearly, I can say it again - she is my friend...... Do you understand?"

“...... I see. ”

Having said that, if they don't know which way the wind is blowing, they will waste their brains.

"By the way, if necessary, the Blue Tower can also send some personnel to the Imperial Capital in the name of assistance - maybe they will have some understanding of the situation in the Imperial Capital...... When the time comes, we must make our military masters realize, if something happens to those girls, don't blame me for hanging people upside down on the city gate and drying them into sausages. ”

"But isn't the Blue Tower in a pretty bad state? It is said that in order to ensure that the power load is not overloaded, it is already under emergency maintenance around the clock. At this time, even if we want to show sincerity, we can't muster manpower. ”

"It's okay, I'll solve the problem of the Blue Tower tomorrow, and there will definitely be a surplus of manpower. ”

"陛xià...... That's ......."

"Time is running out. Liliye said solemnly, the sense of urgency revealed in her words made the two ministers also feel terrified, and the queen, who had a somewhat lazy attitude on weekdays, seemed to have tensed all the nerves in her body for a moment, and the whole person was like a sharp sword that pushed away the scabbard and did not fire.

"Our initial perception was wrong, that the cause of the anomaly there was actually different from what it had been in the past. Trying to 'channel' is no different from drinking water to quench your thirst, and now the only solution is to go straight to the 'source' - the 'key' is in my hands, and I must do it immediately. ”

The most important "key" that controls the operation of the Blue Tower is naturally passed down from generation to generation by the monarchs of the Southern Kingdom, and even when a certain succubus exercises the technique of Li Dai Taozhuang, it is also following this tradition that has been handed down since ancient times-Wu Other, because this is the most important foundation of the Southern Kingdom.

As the queen, it is impossible for Liliel to hand over this "key" to someone else, and it is inevitable that she will go to the Blue Tower to solve the relevant matters herself. But at this time, as the queen, she is not in the royal city, doesn't she leave a truth for the imperial people?

"I can't help it, this kind of thing can't stand the delay at all, if it really doesn't work, you can claim that I'm unwell...... Well, let's just say that I was sad because of Brother Wang's rebellion, and I couldn't afford to be sick when I was shocked, angry, and sad. ”

You liar—you cut the prince's throat with a knife yourself......

But it seems that now, this can only be said? But this is tantamount to exposing the scandal of the royal family in front of the people, the queen has just succeeded to the throne not long ago, once this kind of thing is announced, people will guess more about the queen's intention to "liquidate" than whether the prince really has the heart of a rebellious minister?

This is not the kind of thing that any monarch wants to see, and even if he did, he would never have to do it shortly after his accession to the throne, as it would inevitably make people think that the king was too ruthless and cruel.

But the girl, who was no more than twenty years old, decided to do so anyway.

Although it is not unprecedented, it is not unprecedented, but it still makes people feel that they came from an improper path...... The young queen intended to disguise her movements in this way, which, to be honest, might have had quite an impact on her image.

"Your Majesty, or ...... Let's put it another way?"

"No, I think both commoners and officials will be very concerned about this kind of drama of cannibalism for the throne, right? ”

The two ministers couldn't say anything more.

From the petite bodies in front of them, there was a clear sense of conviction and will...... That's not something they can change. (To be continued......)
