Chapter 1199

Seeing Ann frowning and thinking, Carla asked quietly:

"Did you find anything?"

An Yizhi didn't answer, but asked her:

"What is the form of Empire now?"

Carla was also used to Ann's way of talking nonsense when she looked around. She had already experienced it in the carriage.

I can only say:

"The current situation of the empire is not very good. In the previous war with the Federation, we lost part of the territory along the border. It is said that an Independence Movement broke out in some remote areas of the country to break away from the control of the Empire. Recently, my father has always stayed near the fortress to monitor the movement of the Federation opposite."

In other words, is the current Empire an internal and external problem

An Yi pointed and asked:

"How is the relationship between Duke Winifred and your father?"

"OK."

Carla thought for a moment and said:

"Duke Winifred, like his father, will only be loyal to his majesty and does not intend to support the prince as early as the other two dukes. However, Duke Winifred belongs to the reformist. He believes that the empire can't last too long without improvement. He has some quarrels with his father on this point."

Ann pointed and said clearly that Carla was still waiting for the following. Who knew that the goods didn't intend to continue to speak at all.

Most of the things Carla said were not confidential. Ann pointed out that she could get the same information as long as she bought a few newspapers on the street.

In fact, even if Ann pointed to the secret, it is estimated that Carla can't answer

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The police in this world are not slow to come, especially in areas with high taxes such as craftsman street. There are a lot of patrol police, and several guards came in a few minutes.

To this end, Carla had to find a way to explain Ann Yizhi's behavior of opening the door, while Ann Yizhi said that it would be a big deal for him to lose money. There was no problem with double or even triple compensation.

——The local tyrant feels great!

He was eager for the master of the blacksmith's shop to come out. At that time, he would torture him to extract a confession and let him see what Ivanhoe tentacle enema was.

But the guard couldn't find the owner of the blacksmith shop, so they had to take an Yizhi and Carla back to the guard headquarters to make a note, and finally ended up under the power of the Duke's house.

Coincidentally, when Ann Yizhi came back, she was just tired of crying. The sleeping little girl just woke up and saw that there was no trace of ANN Yizhi around. There was another burst of crying. The rough old men of the guard had never seen such an array. It was more painful than running to fight with the ferocious gangsters. It was not settled until Ann Yizhi came to hear the news.

With regard to her future placement, it is natural to send her to a welfare home.

After all, an Yizhi can't take her all over the world. It's not very reliable to give it to Carla. This sister can't even keep herself, let alone others.

The welfare home is the only conscience in this replica world. It is a charity set up by the Church of the one eyed goddess named Sevilla, who has never shown miracles. It is located in a temple on the edge of the imperial capital. There are many orphans who have lost their parents due to war or accidents, hoping to let the child come out of the shadow.

Perhaps out of sympathy, or perhaps for some other reason, an Yizhi personally sent her to the welfare home and walked around.

The nun in charge of the welfare home is over 50. She should have received the notice and waited at the gate of the welfare home early.

As I said before, the child at the age of seven or eight already has a certain cognitive ability. She clearly knows what happened to her and that she will not be able to return to her original home.

At the gate of the welfare home, the little girl pulled an's robe and asked:

"Big brother, will my parents never come back?"

Other players may be comforting, but an Yizhi said in a cold, expressionless voice:

"Yes, they will never come back."

The little girl loosened Ann's finger, stood in front of him and asked:

"Have they gone to the carefree kingdom of heaven?"

An Yizhi squatted down and continued:

"There is no such a beautiful place in the world."

Carla seemed to want to persuade Ann Yizhi. He said it too directly, but Carla didn't come forward when she saw Ann Yizhi's eyes.

——He is very serious.

The little girl lowered her eyes, tears swirling in her eyes. She looked at her feet and said:

"If I die, will I see them?"

"Maybe, but they didn't know you at that time, and you didn't know them."

He stated a fact in a calm tone:

"For all the dead, the body will stay in place, and the soul will pass through the world wall called crystal wall system and enter the vein of the world tree. They will cross the endless void and finally reach the holy land of death. There, the souls of all the dead will enter the soul washing pool and wash away everything before their birth, your memory, your character and your morality constitute everything for you All will disappear, leaving only the pure soul. Then the soul will wait quietly in the soul washing pool, waiting for the soul guiding messenger who rowed a canoe on the soul washing pool and took the soul away with a soul catching sickle. The taken soul will go to the place where they need them. "

Ann pointed to Kara, mainly to her stomach:

"If she is pregnant, then the soul will enter her child's body and enter a new reincarnation with birth, growth and death."

"Big brother, I can't understand what you said..."

An Yizhi finally smiled. He rubbed the little girl's head and said:

"You'll understand when you grow up."

This move also made the tears in the little girl's eyes drop like broken pearls:

"Why my parents? They've never done anything bad."

"No, why, it's just their bad luck."

The little girl raised her head, red eyes and asked:

"Luck? Can't you change it?"

"What has happened cannot be changed, but luck is not absolute. Your brain, your rights, your financial resources, and even your more simple power can change the outcome caused by bad luck."

"Big brother, I still can't understand what you said."

"So I said, you'll understand when you grow up."

The little girl closed her eyes and when she opened them again, she said very solemnly:

"Big brother, I want to learn magic from you."

"Yes, but wait until you grow up, Ophelia."

Her eyes widened and she said strangely:

"Big brother, how do you know my name?"

"Ha, did you forget? I'm a magician."

An Yizhi stood up and posed like Altman, with one finger in heaven:

"Remember Ophelia, my name is an Yizhi, the great alchemist created by heaven and earth and the great magician with millions of spells. You are my No. 1 disciple."

"Yes!"

Ophelia nodded heavily, turned and walked towards the nun. Finally, she turned back and shouted:

"Big brother, you didn't lie to me."

"Of course not."

As if relieved, she hurried to the nun and began to command Ann.

The latter also waved goodbye. Until she entered the church with the nun, Carla approached Ann and said:

"Don't worry about her. She will spend eight years in the welfare home until she is 16 and has the ability to inherit the legacy left by her parents. This period of time can give her a hope. When she is older, she should recognize the reality."

Eight years? Whether the empire can last eight years is still unknown.

When he pointed, he didn't turn his head:

"Who said I just gave her a hope? I'm not kidding."

As he spoke, he asked the stunned Carla:

"To tell me the truth, will the government give her all the inheritance belonging to her parents without discount when she reaches adulthood?"

Carla opened her mouth and finally said:

"No."

"Sure enough... No matter which world, corrupt officials are almost the same."

The second half of the sentence was more like a whisper. Carla didn't hear it clearly.

When she was about to ask, Ann turned her head and said:

"Sign the contract again."

He stretched out his hand and pulled out a golden scroll from the void.

This is a system contract, which is much higher than the magic contract signed in the previous employment. It can be said that this is the highest level contract in the multi universe world. Even gods can't disobey it.

When Carla saw Ann take out the contract, her face suddenly became serious. This kind of contract is no joke.

"I need you to take Ophelia to Sevilla in person and give her and a letter to master olivette safely and personally. He will arrange everything."

An Yizhi took out a letter he had written before, and there was a watermark on the envelope. It was the badge belonging to the Star Tower, representing an Yizhi's rights in the three towers alliance.

Is that all?

Carla wondered that there was no need to pull out the highest level magic contract. Besides, can't you take her as an adventurer?

"Why don't you take her yourself?"

"I don't have much time."

Without much explanation, he explained to an ordinary NPC that the existence of players was troublesome and continued:

"As long as you are willing to promise, I will give you a greater achievement than catching the serial killer."

"Ah?"

Carla is more confused. What's this operation?

An Yizhi just looked at the falling sunset and said:

"If you remember correctly, you said that the emperor would show his face at the banquet in front of the palace on the evening of Midsummer Festival?"

Carla was blindfolded. She didn't understand what an Yizhi suddenly asked. Then she suddenly got a line in her mind and burst into inspiration.

"You mean..."

Ann nodded.

In the task panel that only he can see, it says' main task: stop the coup '.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

There are generally two ways to activate the main task in the brave world.

One is that when you first enter the replica, the system directly gives the player a goal, but there are many ways to achieve this goal. The player can choose freely and reactivate the branch task through the player's choice.

The other is to give nothing at the beginning and see whether it is enough to trigger the main task based on the player's actions. Although this mode has a high degree of freedom, it also has traces to follow.

It comes down to two words, making trouble.

Whether it's someone else's trouble that the player encounters or the player's own deliberate trouble, basically, after this method, the system will always activate the branch line or main line task.

This time is no exception. An Yizhi's prediction is quite accurate. The branch task of catching serial killers is indeed the front of the main line. When the player collects enough factors to activate the main line, the system will activate it.

Moreover, because an Yizhi is unfamiliar here, he doesn't know many information he should know. In order to make the difficulty meet the standard of ordinary copies, the system directly gives the most important clue to an Yizhi's face.

That's the name of the main task.

A coup naturally refers to the overthrow of the current power and the replacement of a new power.

In that case, who is the most indisputable power in the Empire?

The emperor of the Empire, of course!

According to the information and clues obtained by an Yizhi from entering the copy to now, it is very likely that someone plans to use gunpowder to let his majesty get the boxed lunch.

When Ann finished talking to Cara, the face of the girl was not pale. If not, the bladder might awesome.

But anyway, even the stupidest Kara knows which achievement is greater between saving the emperor's life and catching serial killers. There is no comparability between the two.

This will be an excellent opportunity. I'm afraid Carla alone can't handle it. An Yizhi is just an adventurer. No matter how famous he is, he has no right to participate in the power struggle between the nobles, just like catching serial killers before. Even if the credit is obviously the greatest between an Yizhi and the guard, it will be counted on Carla by the nobles.

So even if she learned this big secret, she could only choose to share the credit with Jeremiah rather than monopolize it herself.

Therefore, after signing the contract, Carla hurriedly ran to Duke Winifred's house again. Before leaving, she also told Ann not to forget to catch the serial killer. After all, no one thinks much of the credit

With the sun gradually setting, the celebration of Midsummer Festival also came to a climax.

The floats originally found in the city gathered in the square in front of the palace, and the huge flat cars were put together to form a wide stage.

In front of the stage, the wide square in front of the imperial city is almost filled with long tables, on which hot food and delicious drinks have been prepared.

In addition to not packing away, as long as there is no waste of food, anyone can eat and drink as much as they want.

Therefore, at the moment, the people gathered for performances and banquets have packed the square. Everyone has full joy on their faces and sincerely thank his majesty for his generosity.

A bard and his band are playing. Beautiful music is spread to the whole square after being amplified by magic. The festival atmosphere is becoming stronger and stronger.

With the falling of the last note, someone saw a large group of soldiers on the wall of the imperial city. Their gorgeous armor and clean actions represented that they were the honor guard of the emperor.

Soon, an old man with gorgeous clothes came into people's view and sat in the VIP seat already prepared.

In the crowd, I don't know who first raised his glass and said loudly:

"Long live your majesty! Long live midsummer!"

People followed and shouted like thunder through the sky. They didn't know that while they cheered, a rapid raid was launched under the city wall.

At the lower left of the city wall, there is an inconspicuous door opening.

This is an idle barracks. The room is large enough to accommodate about a dozen soldiers. However, due to drainage problems, there are no soldiers in this barracks for the time being.

But just because there are no soldiers doesn't mean there are no people.

In the room full of dust and cobwebs, two guys dressed as guards gathered together. They were surrounded by large wooden barrels about half a person high, one of which stretched out a half foot long fuse.

One of them holds a torch, which not only provides lighting, but also a tool for implementing the plan. The other held a pocket watch and stared nervously at the pointer.

When the pointer reached the scheduled time, they were not in a hurry. Because the emperor was old, the admission time might be a little later than the estimated time. In order to make his majesty a perfect earth plane, they chose to wait 30 seconds to ensure that the emperor was in place.

Just then, they heard a splash of water.

Before they could understand what had happened, a large amount of water poured from the door directly flooded the man with the pocket watch. The other man was quick in hand and eyes and planned to light the fuse. However, due to the rapid and sudden flow of water, the fuse had been completely wet and could not be lit by the torch.

At the same time, he saw two figures attacking him. As soon as he turned around, he was hit in the back of his head by a heavy object. He couldn't even bite the poison bag in his teeth, so he fell straight into a coma.

Those two people, of course, were Carla and Jeremiah who came after receiving Ann's hint.

As descendants of the Duke, they also have the right to enter the palace. Of course, it's just the outermost floor. If you go inside, even the Duke himself must report and get permission to enter.

Moreover, compared with Kara, who was not very popular, Jeremiah was the only son of Duke Winifred. He was much more powerful than Kara. He directly found the water truck that the soldiers wanted to use for fire fighting and sprayed water at the abandoned barracks.

Because an Yizhi told Kara about the nature of gunpowder once, if they wanted to be bad for the emperor, they naturally had to put explosives under the city wall, and it was easy to find here.

The people outside the city wall do not know what happened in the palace, but the emperor sitting in his exclusive position can not know.

On the contrary, he was very calm until the dust on the other side of the city wall settled and the soldiers captured all the two people with evil intentions and the large wooden barrels filled with gunpowder and placed them under the city wall inside the imperial palace. His personal guards hurried up and explained everything in the emperor's ear.

It should be said that he is worthy of being an emperor. There is no change in his face, even if he is only one step away from the gate of hell.

He stayed on the wall for more than ten minutes to make sure that the people outside wouldn't see any clues. Then he slowly paced down from the wall.

Naturally, no one among the people celebrating the Midsummer Festival thinks anything wrong. After all, his majesty is not young. It is obviously unscientific to stay on the city wall for a long time.

He was surrounded by the guards and walked slowly to Kara and Jeremiah. They knelt on one knee to show their respect.

"Worthy of the Duke's children, you did a good job."

It seemed that the emperor wanted to say something more, but he was interrupted by another commotion.

Not far away, the low bushes disintegrated like being run over by a dragon. A colorful fist left a half foot deep gully on the ground and slowly disappeared.

"Protect your majesty!"

The guards moved quickly, and they quickly protected the emperor.

Just then, they found a figure floating in the sky and slowly approaching.

Carla looked up and almost blurted out the word Ann.

What made her more puzzled was that it was agreed that an Yizhi would catch the serial killer. How could he suddenly appear in the palace?

When he floated far enough to hear his voice, an pointed and gave a breast caressing salute:

"Careless greetings, your majesty, I mean an Yi."

There was no special expression on the emperor's face in the crowd. He just looked at an with a finger, as if there was nothing unusual, and his eyes were as calm as water.

"Whether you know me or not, I think you must know him."

He snapped his fingers, and they saw that another palm shining with colorful light emerged from the bushes, holding a struggling man in its hand.

He was about thirty years old, upright and strong, and almost all the nobles knew that face. It was the big prince of their empire.

The atmosphere became more tense. An Yizhi said to himself as if he didn't see everyone's expression:

"This guy gathered a group of troops who are not very like soldiers and lurked nearby. I guess he wants to be the first to rush up and 'save people'?"

"What's your purpose?"

When the prince of a country was held in his hand, the old emperor finally opened his mouth.

"Stop pretending, I don't believe you won't notice anything."

Ann said with a finger and slowly closed her left hand. Bigby's grasping palm also cooperated with his movements, as if he wanted to crush the man to death.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him."

Three or four hostile eyes from behind made an Yizhi's perception of danger very sharp. He should be the strong man of the Empire.

He made a scissors hand posture, and then let his two fingers slowly close together. He only heard a click, and the bone broke. The feet of the man trapped by bigby's capture folded in reverse.

"I admire you. You're a tough guy without crying."

As soon as he threw it away, an Yizhi threw the so-called big prince in front of the emperor, and the guards around him quickly protected the people together.

"Do you really think you can do whatever you want with your teacher's name?"

It seems that the emperor knew what an Yi meant. This sentence seems to be a threat.

An Yizhi smiled proudly and was about to say something. Then he turned back and started roaring angrily and shouted:

"Look at your paralysis! Look again, you'll kill me!"

There was only a quiet night to respond to him. After all, not everyone wanted to provoke the old madman who protected his shortcomings, but the stinging hostility never disappeared. It was estimated that they were also a little worried that an Yizhi would suddenly attack the Imperial Emperor.

——After all, by the standard of an old madman, no one can tell when he will go crazy.

When he turned around, he put on a smiling expression:

"It's not me, but you."

As soon as he finished, he lit up the white light representing transmission, which is the light of starting automatic transmission when the main task is completed.

"That's right."

Before leaving, an, shrouded in white light, pointed to the big prince who was thrown out like garbage with his chin and said one more sentence:

"Take good care of him, but don't let him die."

Before the voice fell, there was no trace of an Yizhi in the night sky
