Chapter 276: Secrecy
On the summer festival day of 751 in the Tania Empire, the capital was in turmoil, the first prince of the empire, Hodder Tania, mutined in the central square, colluded with the guards to kill the heirs of the royal family, and the first princess Elle Tania led the crowd to resist, and finally successfully defeated the rebels, killing the core figures of the rebels such as the first prince Hodderania, Duke Casa Morris, and Viscount Preta Bireen, and the rest were captured.
In this battle, the second prince of the Empire, Micel Tania, the head of the Imperial Secret Police, Viscount Birkin, and the head of the Royal Legion, Marquis Brokel, were all martyred.
Three days later, under the persuasion of the important ministers of the empire led by the Earl of Shu Xinge and the head of the Iron Rock Legion, Lieutenant General Westman, the second empress daughter, Her Royal Highness Elle, succeeded as the regent and temporarily took charge of the affairs of the empire.
......
This is the official explanation of the Imperial Mutiny.
However, only those who were in the square that day knew that the specific situation was not as stated in the notice, but these people involved were all given gag orders and had to keep it a secret.
And Lin Lichuan and others, who were not given a gag order, would not be idle and bored to publicize the true situation everywhere, so the truth was naturally covered up in the long river of history.
In order to compete for the throne, the two princes conspired to kill each other during the imperial festival, and spreading it would undoubtedly cause great damage to the reputation of the royal family, but someone had to be responsible for this mutiny, so after much consideration, only the first prince was convicted, and the biggest reason was that if he was not convicted, he would not be able to execute many nobles led by Duke Morris who rebelled with him.
As for the Miscell, the leaders of Brockel and Viscount Birkin have been killed, and their members in the Royal Legion and the Imperial Secret Police have also been purged on charges of poor defense during the festival.
Fortunately, as the fighting was concentrated in the central square, which was isolated by the Dawn Barrier, the mutiny did little to hurt the people, and the chaos in Baiwei City lasted only three days before it gradually calmed down, and the mutiny soon became an after-dinner chatter among the people.
Sitting on the chair for a long time, and reading the notice on the central square in the newspaper in the palace, the corners of Lin Lichuan's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile.
The entire text of the notice did not mention Lin Lichuan and the slashers, as well as the Yao Qian brothers, and even did not mention a word, which would definitely be very confusing for insiders, after all, the most critical person in this mutiny was Lin Lichuan, if it wasn't for him, the outcome of the mutiny would have been completely different.
However, this is what Lin Lichuan specially asked Ai Lei.
The mutiny of the Tania Empire will definitely attract the attention of the entire southern part of the continent, once the news of Brocker's death at the hands of the people from Black Flame Island spreads and is known by the Thousand Courtyard Business Alliance, then the Zhou family will inevitably guess that it is the Black Flame Council that is fighting back, and if the Zhou family is on guard, the difficulty of the next action will be greatly increased.
Lin Lichuan didn't want to stand on the surface so quickly, so he asked the first princess to keep it secret.
Seeing that Lin Lichuan raised his head after reading the newspaper, Meng Xiaotong, who was sitting on the side, pouted and muttered in a low voice: "I really don't understand, why do you want His Royal Highness Ai Lei to help you keep it secret, obviously most of this incident is your credit, if you publish it truthfully, with your credit, no one will have any objections even if you divide a noble title." ”
Lin Lichuan smiled dumbly: "It's useless for me to ask for a noble title, my current foundation is on Black Flame Island, if I become a nobleman of the Tania Empire, won't I have to leave Black Flame Island?"
"Isn't it good to be in the Tania Empire? Why do you have to stay on that remote and inhospitable island. "Ever since he knew that Lin Lichuan was going to return to Black Flame Island, Meng Xiaotong had been sullen for the past few days.
Lin Lichuan was about to answer, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a few people walking in, but it was Lin Zhenyi and Ren Yanan's three daughters, who had always been inseparable.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Zhenyi smiled at the two of them.
Meng Xiaotong complained: "Captain, you also advise Ah Chuan, now that Missel is dead, the Imperial Secret Police has withdrawn the search for him, and he has made great contributions to this mutiny, isn't it good to take this opportunity to stay in the empire and be a free nobleman, why do you want to run back to a place like Black Flame Island." ”
"That's right, Ah Chuan is so powerful, even the Radiant Moon Knight is not an opponent, if you stay in the Empire, Her Royal Highness Ai Lei will definitely reuse you!" Ren Yanan nodded in agreement.
Among the people who knew Lin Lichuan's true identity, Ren Yanan was the fastest to accept, and then immediately curiously pulled Lin Lichuan to ask questions, showing great interest in his past experience, and Lin Lichuan finally perfunctory her.
To be honest, he had the idea of abducting Ren Yanan back to Heiyan Island, but unfortunately Ren Yanan rejected him, on the grounds that Heiyan Island was too remote, unlike the empire, especially Baiwei City, which had many delicious delicacies.
No matter how powerful Lin Lichuan was, he couldn't immediately turn Black Flame Island into a prosperous city like Baiwei City, so he had no choice but to give up.
However, it also reminded him that it was time for the transformation of Black Flame Island to be put on the agenda.
He's been busy with it for the past few days.
"Ah Chuan has his own plans, we just need to support him. Lin Zhenyi shook her head slightly, to put it mildly, she was the person who wanted Lin Lichuan to stay the most, but when Lin Lichuan defeated Brocker, she understood that Lin Lichuan's future achievements would inevitably exceed everyone's imagination, staying in the Tania Empire would not help him at all, but would become his shackles, and the place where his nephew would be active in the future should be in a broader world...... For example, at the other end of the Circle of Sighs, the most prosperous and powerful region in the entire continent.
After a moment of trance, Lin Zhenyi quickly came back to his senses and revealed the topic: "By the way, Ah Chuan, His Royal Highness Ai Lei called me over today, saying that the specific matters of transforming Black Flame Island have already been arranged, and it can be started when the matter is dealt with over there." "Three-two
"However, Black Flame Island is of a special nature, and the empire cannot blatantly help, so it can only arrange for the Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for these matters. ”
Assisting in the transformation and development of Black Flame Island, this is the condition that Ai Lei put forward when she said that she wanted to repay Lin Lichuan for her help in the festival mutiny.
Once Black Flame Island develops, it will be able to provide more help to Lin Lichuan, but it is impossible for him or Black Flame Island to do it alone, and there must be external assistance, and the Tania Empire is a good choice.
However, this matter has to be placed after the transaction with the Black Flame Council is completed, in addition to the fact that Black Flame Island is not completely owned by him at the moment, there are also factors that prevent the Zhou family from detecting the relationship between Black Flame Island and the Tania Empire.
After listening to Lin Zhenyi's words, Lin Lichuan lightly bowed his head to express his understanding, after all, Black Flame Island is a gathering place for criminals and wanderers, and there are not a few people on the wanted list of the Tania Empire, and it is indeed difficult for the imperial officials to operate it personally, and it is not surprising to use the Chamber of Commerce as a cover.
"When are you going to leave for Black Flame Island, do you need me to arrange the boat?" Lin Zhenyi asked.
"Tomorrow. Lin Lichuan shook his head, "Yao Qian, they have already arranged it." ”
After that, Lin Lichuan looked at Jiang Han and Lu Lin who had been standing next to him without saying a word after he entered the hall, just looked at Jiang Han and Lu Lin with complicated eyes, thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "Before leaving, I have a gift for you." ”
Hearing this, everyone present showed curiosity.
Under the curious gaze of everyone, Lin Lichuan's palm sank slightly, and there was already a strange sword blade with a blue body, as if condensed by light.
Women always have a special love for beautiful things, even Lin Zhenyi is not exempt from vulgarity, the moment the spirit knife appeared, everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by this exceptionally beautiful sword blade, and they couldn't help but show a look of amazement.
"What is this?" Meng Xiaotong asked curiously, revealing a look of eagerness, wanting to touch the blade in Lin Lichuan's palm.
"This is the Spirit Knife. Lin Lichuan smiled faintly, "It can give you a strange energy called spiritual pressure, which can enhance your strength when combined with qi or ability energy." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Lin Zhenyi was the first to react, his eyes moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said astringently: "Ah Chuan, this special energy called spiritual pressure...... Isn't that the power you have?"
"That's right. Lin Lichuan said.
As the words fell, the living room fell silent.
Lin Zhenyi and Meng Xiaotong were a little stunned, they were a handful of people who had the most contact with Lin Lichuan, they had witnessed the growth of his strength, and they deeply understood how powerful the power he had, but now, Lin Lichuan actually wanted to give them this power?
For a long time, the five of them were immersed in unspeakable shock and were speechless.
Lin Lichuan saw it in his eyes and smiled: "Don't be so surprised, spiritual pressure is just a kind of energy in the final analysis, it is not much different from qi and elemental energy in nature, at most it is better in terms of concealment, although it will help you after fusion, but it is not yet a leap to improve, you had better not get too much hope." ”
Although Lin Lichuan said this, Lin Zhenyi and the others all understood that spiritual pressure was definitely not as simple as he said, and they all felt a surprise in their hearts without exception.
During the mutiny, Lin Lichuan got a ring inlaid with high-purity meteorite crystals from Brocker, although there were only 400 polycrystals, but it was more than enough to exchange for 5 spirit knives.
In turn, he used the spirit knife to give Lin Zhenyi and several people spiritual pressure, and it took more than ten minutes for Lin Lichuan to finally get it.
Among them, the spirit knives used by Meng Xiaotong, Ren Yanan, Jiang Han and Lu Lin, Lin Lichuan all invested 250 strengthening points, which was just enough to obtain Lv1 spiritual pressure, while Lin Zhenyi used the spirit knife the most, with a total of 1750 strengthening points, just enough to get Lv3 spiritual pressure.
Lin Zhenyi is a Morning Star Knight after all, and if the number of enhancement points invested is too small, the increase is almost none.
But in the end, the improvement is only secondary, the most important thing is the acquisition of spiritual pressure, the potential of spiritual pressure is extremely high, this seed is planted, and sooner or later it will grow into a towering tree in the future.
"Oh, and this. ”
After Lin Zhenyi and the others calmed down a little from the joy of obtaining spiritual pressure, Lin Lichuan gave each of them a hell butterfly and explained in detail how to use it.
With the spiritual pressure mastered, Lin Zhenyi and the others can also use the Hell Butterfly, and with this, they can be contacted no matter how far away they are in the future.
