Chapter 20: The Lonely Queen

The League of Nations, whose full name is the Sacred Lake Eighteen Nations Alliance, is an international alliance organization composed of 18 countries integrating economic, military and political affairs. These countries are bordered by the Central Mountains to the east, and to the north, west, and south are the largest lakes in the ancient Austrian continent, the Holy Lake. The land that has been exposed since 500 years ago is divided into three parts, which are divided into the North Sacred Lake, the Middle Holy Lake, and the South Holy Lake. The three lakes are separated by two narrow strips of land, which are the only two land routes between the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Sacred Lake and the Central States.

From 1940, when the eighteen countries of the Holy Lake formed an alliance in the ancient Austrian calendar, the League of Nations has a history of 80 years. Over the past 80 years, the League of Nations has experienced many crises, the largest of which was the "Three Years' War" that broke out thirteen years ago. The League of Nations joined forces with the Goblin Kingdom to wage war with almost all the countries of the West, and the League of Nations, under the leadership of the two founders of the League of Nations, Casillos Pandora and Lenin Trotsky, made a huge effort to force their opponents to come to the negotiating table and sign a peace agreement.

Now, the League of Nations, which had been peaceful for ten years, is once again in crisis.

In the magnificent Hall of the League of Nations in the City of Miracles, the Supreme Council of the League of Nations is holding an emergency meeting.

The members of the Supreme Council consist of eighteen national members chosen by the King, fifty-eight provincial members elected by provincial officials, and three hundred and eight elected grassroots members.

At this time, in the auditorium, the members of parliament had been discussing for more than an hour.

The executive power of the League of Nations was vested in the Government of the League of Nations, headed by the Chief Consul, and the affairs of the League of Nations were usually decided by the Government. However, this time, the crisis is directly related to the permanent speaker of the Supreme Council, so the discussion and handling of this crisis still falls on the side of the Supreme Council.

"Your Excellency, I feel that you should be honest with the countries of the League of Nations, and it is useless to blindly conceal it. "Steel-Blatter, a national councillor from the Land of Steel, finally couldn't hold back and began to question the honesty of the permanent speaker Pandora.

Many councillors represented by Gang-Blatter thought that Pandora was good at advocating, not only failed to let Lora rule the White Dawn Palace, but offended this once a great help. Now that the people of Asgard have entered the territory of the League of Nations, they have obviously come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

However, no matter how much these councillors tried to side-call, the witty Pandora always put herself in an advantageous position, which only highlighted their vexatiousness.

"Mr. Gang, I think I've made it very clear, Bai Fengyue's death has nothing to do with me, this matter is framed by a hostile force, and it wants to provoke a war to subvert the League of Nations. Pandora appeared at ease in the already boiling Parliament, answering the questions of the parliamentarians unhurriedly.

Oki Jayron, a member of the House of Wood, repeated his point again, his bare head reflecting the energy light from the roof of the shed, looking dazzling.

He stood up and asked, "So, where is Ben Shuangfeng now?" he is a member of the League of Nations Wizard Regiment, but he is also your righteous grandson. Speaker, how could you not know his whereabouts? Without the support of Asgard, you have offended Asgard, and perhaps those countries in the west are ready to move. ”

In fact, this time, many lawmakers are not only discussing a solution to the crisis, but also taking the opportunity to force Pandora to step down.

When the League of Nations was established 80 years ago, the Charter of the League of Nations stipulated that the supreme leader of the League of Nations was the 18 kings, the executive head of the League of Nations was the chief consul, and the presiding officer of the Assembly of the League of Nations was the Speaker of the Supreme Assembly.

The kings were nominally leaders of the League, but could not intervene directly in the affairs of the League of Nations.

The chief consul administers the affairs of the state, but is elected by the Supreme Council and allegiance to the eighteen kings.

The Speaker of the Supreme Council is responsible for managing the various levels of parliament in order to keep the chief consul and the kings in check.

In the early days of the League of Nations, the member states felt that Pandora, who was the president of the Supreme Assembly, did not have much power, was a woman, and was only a mid-level magician, so five years after the League of Nations was founded, appointed her permanent speaker, and used her prestige and wisdom to make the situation in the League more stable.

But no one thought that this Pandora would be able to live to be more than a hundred years old without the slightest sign of aging, and her magic strength also relied on her immortality to reach the level of a high-level magician.

The current Pandora, whose henchmen are all over the eighteen countries, has firmly controlled Miracle City, and has a tendency to be unstoppable. Especially eight years ago, after the death of Lenin Trotsky, the father of the Free Army of the League of Nations at the age of 105, Pandora became the only living founder of the League of Nations. Many kings feared that this venerable woman would one day become the true emperor of the League of Nations.

Pandora glanced faintly at Gang-Blatter and Ogi-Jaylen, and secretly sneered in her heart. I thought to myself: "These people obeyed me when the country was in crisis, and when the crisis was resolved, they began to think about crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, each seeking their own personal interests." Human nature is like this, in a crisis we can put aside differences and come together, and as soon as there is no external pressure, we can immediately start attacking each other. ”

"Councilor Steel, Councilor Oki, regarding the matter of Baixi Immortal Palace, I promise not to let it affect the security of the League of Nations. Pandora said in a solemn tone, then her voice turned higher, "But now there is one more thing. Since Councillor Steel thinks I should be honest, there are some things I think I can inform you about here. There is now conclusive evidence that your son, Steel-Zell, is secretly collaborating with enemy nations to divulge our steelmaking know-how, which is kept in strict secret. ”

"Speaker, this is a frame-up!" Steel-Blatter said with a little emotion, hurriedly denying.

"Of course, I'm sure Councilor Steel doesn't know about it, and your son may have gone astray. In any case, however, this matter must not be fooled along! One article should be added to the content of today's meeting, that is, the leakage of steelmaking technology. Pandora said, smiling at Jayren again.

Da Mu Jay Lun was laughed at like this, and suddenly felt a lie in his heart, and lowered his head weakly, for fear that he would have some tricks to be revealed.

"Speaker, what we're talking about is Bai Fengyue's death now, how can you ......" As soon as the national councillor of the Yarn Country stood up and spoke, he noticed that many of the parliamentarians around him cast hostile glances at him, these were all parliamentarians who supported Pandora. and those soldiers with unkind faces and full armor, which made him feel his scalp tingle, and he suddenly lost all his momentum, so he had to close his mouth and sit down with a disgraced face.

"Okay, back to the point, do you have any questions about the Baixi Immortal Palace?" Pandora glanced at the councilors, and this time, she saw a deferential demeanor.

On the third day after the emergency meeting of the League of Nations, Bai Fenghua, Jiang Caiyun and others walked into the Miracle City in a menacing manner, their purpose was very clear, to ask Pandora Xingshi for their crimes.

At this time, all the flags in the entire Miracle City were lowered to half the height to show their condolences, and the team responsible for greeting them was also wearing black mourning clothes, all with solemn expressions.

"I've finally looked forward to you. Pandora quickly walked up to Bai Fenghua and held her hand, with tears in her eyes, her voice trembled, and she could see that she was very sad, "I watched you and Fengyue grow up all the way from childhood, why did she say that she would just leave?"

Bai Fenghua was very surprised when he saw Pandora like this, and the heavy words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and couldn't be said.

Jiang Caiyun, who was on the side, thought to himself: "What kind of compassion are you pretending?"

She stepped forward and said, "Madam, we are here this time in the hope that you can give us an explanation. ”

"Are you?" asked Pandora in a soft tone, seemingly unobtrusive about the other party's rudeness.

"I am the eldest disciple of the White House Master, and my name is Jiang Caiyun. This heroic woman was not affected by the other party's emotional cards in the slightest, and replied proudly.

"It's Fengyue's disciple. Pandora smiled with satisfaction, sighed casually, and put her hand on her waist to compare, "Your master is a good boy, the first time I saw her and Fenghua, they were so tall. Watching them grow into a generation of grandmasters, I am also sincerely gratified. You also have the shadow of Fengyue on your body. ”

Jiang Caiyun was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her tough momentum to be dissolved by Pandora's soft attitude, if she said anything serious, it would be too impolite.

Pandora didn't wait for the other party to react, and took Bai Fenghua's hand and walked towards the city.

"While walking, you are really Fenghua, I haven't come to see it for so many years, has it changed a lot here. Pandora then took Bai Fenghua's arm and said kindly, "I really miss the time when you called me Aunt Pandora in the past." ”

"We wouldn't have left Asgard easily, but this time, we had to come. Bai Fenghua finally found an opportunity to speak.

"Alas, I also know that I am suspicious of Fengyue's death. So I'm glad you're here, and I hope you can help me get to the bottom of this matter and clear my name. Pandora said, looking at Bai Fengyue and Jiang Caiyun with sincere eyes.

"Investigation? Do you still need to investigate?" Jiang Caiyun said in a questioning tone, "If we can't prove that you didn't do this, we in Baixia Immortal Palace will never give up." ”

"Caiyun!" Bai Fenghua scolded softly, and said to Pandora in a soothing tone, "Ben Shuangfeng is your Shogunate Guest Minister, and also your righteous grandson, and the most important thing is that he is the only one in the entire continent who can cast the eternal freezing cold qi, and he is definitely one of the murderers who killed my senior sister." ”

"So be it. Pandora didn't immediately deny it, but said in a kind voice, "I can let you investigate this matter in Miracle City unhindered, and I will fully cooperate." Evidence must be told in everything, there are too many doubts in this, and the murderer cannot be determined by a single magic trick. Moreover, even if Ben Shuangfeng did it, it was definitely not at my command, and it had nothing to do with the League of Nations. ”

"Even if there is evidence, you have destroyed it. Hmph, how can Ben Shuangfeng, as a member of the League of Nations Magician Troupe, have nothing to do with the League of Nations?" Jiang Caiyun said reluctantly, she could see that her Uncle Bai Fenghua couldn't be tough in front of Pandora, so she had to come forward.

Pandora smiled at her and said, "If you don't investigate, you will insist that I did it, what are you here for? Let me admit it myself, and then go back and bring all of you Asgard to fight with me? If Fengyue knew that you were so reckless, she would die blindly." ”

Jiang Caiyun listened to these words, her face hesitated, and she found that she didn't seem to be able to say anything about this woman. She and Bai Fenghua looked at each other for a moment, and the other party felt the same way.

They originally came to make sure that Pandora did this, and if the other party didn't admit it, they would ask for Benshuang Peak. This time, even if you can't kill the murderer, you have to completely break off with Pandora, and wait for the time to take revenge.

Unexpectedly, Pandora's performance made them feel like they were punching the cotton, but it seemed that they were really unreasonable.

"We want to see the body of the palace master first. Bai Fenghua said in a trembling voice, this is also another main purpose for them to come here.

"Okay, I'll take you there. There were no signs of a fierce fight at the scene, and it was likely that she was suppressed by a powerful force, and then deliberately killed with the eternal freezing cold spell to frame the League of Nations. Only a powerful enough mage can do this, and if you just rely on numbers, even if you defeat Fengyue, you will definitely leave a trace. Our League of Nations only has one Heavenly Master, he does not obey anyone's orders, and only when the League of Nations is attacked by a Heavenly Master, he will make a move. She repeatedly emphasized between the lines that she had no ability to kill Bai Fengyue at all.

Bai Fenghua and the others also thought about this, but they did not rule out that Pandora used other despicable means or united with the heavenly masters outside the League of Nations, and when suppressing Bai Fengyue, let Ben Shuangfeng sneak attack behind his back, and then wipe out Ben Shuangfeng.

Bai Fenghua understood that Pandora had enough motivation to kill Bai Fengyue, and if Lora took control of Asgard, she would be the biggest beneficiary of this matter. But equally, Pandora's enemies have a motive to frame Pandora.

She is now in a dilemma, if she doesn't trust Pandora, she should get out of here immediately to prevent falling into Pandora's trap and encountering accidents. If you trust Pandora, you should stay here and join forces with her to investigate.

In hesitation, Bai Fengyue and Jiang Caiyun followed Pandora into the room where Bai Fengyue's body was placed, and as soon as the two entered the room, they looked very respectful, approached the coffin, and when they saw Bai Fengyue's body, they all burst into tears.

"Madam, can you avoid it? We want to be alone with Senior Sister for a while. Bai Fenghua looked at his senior sister, his eyes were gloomy, and his voice trembled and said.

This senior sister whom she once respected and admired extremely much, this senior sister who was closest to her, died in such an unknown way. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and swore in her heart that she would definitely slash the murderer!

"Of course. Pandora also looked sad and exited the room with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Pandora walk out, Bai Fenghua wiped her tears, stroked Bai Fengyue's hair, and recalled the bits and pieces of the past.

After a long time, she said to Jiang Caiyun: "This matter is not so simple, there is no conclusive evidence, and we can't attack the League of Nations yet." ”

Jiang Caiyun was also a little hesitant, she was bent on inheriting the position of palace master, and originally believed that Pandora planned the murder in order to put Lora on the throne. But after Bai Fenghua said it, he also knew that they didn't have enough evidence to prove that Pandora was behind it. However, the lord of the first palace was killed, but they couldn't find the murderer, there was the person who was the most suspected, but there was no evidence, could they just swallow their anger and shrink in the fairy palace?

Thinking of this, Jiang Caiyun suddenly had a plan to get Bai Xi Immortal Palace out of an embarrassing situation, and it could also allow her to increase her bargaining chips to succeed to the position of palace master.

"We can't go, just leave like this, and we can't explain to the disciples of the Immortal Palace. We have to stay and investigate until we find out the murderer!" Speaking of the back, Jiang Caiyun's voice became fierce.

Bai Fenghua nodded and said, "It should be like this, but we all stay, what about the Immortal Palace?" ”

"In this way, let's leave one person to take the disciples to investigate, and the other person will return to the palace to preside over the overall situation, and wait for the truth to be revealed, and then decide on the palace master. Jiang Caiyun said what he had thought out in advance.

Bai Fenghua also knew that this Jiang Caiyun intended to compete for the position of palace master, although she was not greedy for power, she felt that Jiang Caiyun was too eager for quick success and was not suitable for succeeding the palace master, and Luo La was too close to the secular world, and it was easy to bring the fairy palace into the outside world for disputes, so she could only let herself succeed the palace master. But in this way, Jiang Caiyun and Luo La will inevitably have objections. Instead of arguing, it's better to put it on hold.

So, Bai Fenghua nodded and said, "Okay, do you want to stay and investigate, or go back to the Immortal Palace?"

Jiang Caiyun already had a plan in his heart, this unsolved case is difficult to investigate, and even if it is investigated, the person who can kill Bai Fengyue is very powerful, and it is difficult for them to take revenge. In this way, the person in charge of the investigation will definitely not produce results. On the contrary, if you stay in the palace master to preside over the overall situation, and your prestige is increasing day by day, you will be in a favorable position to compete for the position of palace master. When the time comes, one is inactive, the other is shrewd and capable, and the inheritance of the position of the palace master can be known without asking.

"Uncle Shi, you know Pandora better than me, and you are more familiar with the outside world than me, so it should be you who administer justice for Master. Jiang Caiyun wiped away his tears and looked at his uncle with sincere and trusting eyes.

"Okay, then Asgard will be handed over to you during this time. Bai Fenghua didn't think much about it, so he agreed.

Jiang Caiyun was secretly happy in her heart, now Luo La is no longer afraid, the position of the palace master will be hers sooner or later, the only flaw is that the "Cloud Mist Immortal Method" that can only be cultivated by the palace masters of previous dynasties has been lost, otherwise she may be able to go further in the cultivation of immortal arts.

At this time, Pandora, who was waiting outside the house, was also planning future countermeasures. The assassination of Bai Fengyue by someone hiding in the shadows is only the first step, and the danger of the League of Nations is definitely far more than that.

"Little Pan Pan, I understand, this group of people in Baixi Immortal Palace are a group of simple girls, if you are really murderers, they still dare to come to Xingshi to ask for their crimes, aren't they afraid that there will be no return?" Pandora's voice sounded in the voice of the god of time and space.

Pandora responded impatiently: "What do you know, I think you are a simple girl." If I really risk the condemnation of the world and set up an ambush to harm them, not only will I offend Bai Xi Immortal Palace, but the other two immortal palaces will definitely come to uphold justice. ”

"I, I'm a male! The voice protested.

"Haven't you counted the males and females yourself?" replied Pandora with a sneer.

There are enough troubles, there is such a chatter in her body, and this chatter does not help her at all.

Pandora imperceptibly showed a hint of fatigue, maybe in this world, she could only open her heart to this talker.
