Chapter 502

On March 17, 835, the capital of the emperor, the holy city of three mountains, in the evening, light snow.

The new year is coming and passing in the snow. The streets of the imperial capital are quiet. Except for a few people who clean the snow in front of the gate, there are only teams of patrolling guards' armor crashing.

But unlike this quiet environment, in the first year after the end of the Dragon disaster and the first sign of a falling star, the whole world fell into an upsurge of "exploration.".

Although ordinary people may not know it, all high-ranking or powerful professionals can learn from the relics around the world and the books hidden in the deepest library that the whole world of mirov is actually a new civilization from the wreckage after the end of time. At the end of the era known as Guangyao, countless adherents came out of the refuge, staring blankly at the changed world, and then fighting against the endless tide of demons.

835 Years later, the ancestors who once fought for a piece of land for their people in the wilderness can be gratified to see that today's human beings once again occupy most of the world. Except for the central black forest, which is so vast that no one has explored its center, most of the land in the world belongs to human beings, while other races are not merged into human beings, That is to move to distant places overseas and struggle in isolated islands or deep mountains.

When the technology of Transworld portal was developed in guantian Baita, a mage once said with pride that they had already known everything about mcrolfe. Now what human beings need is to explore the new world beyond the void. This arrogant but passionate declaration was indeed approved by many people at that time, but now, The situation is very different.

The underground world discovered in the Principality of Roman, the hiding place of the five color dragon people overseas, and the large-scale ancient urban relics discovered around the eastern plain all prove that the world is still shrouded in a lot of fog. Let alone other things, the deep sea where the fish people live, and the underground cavity that even the dwarves have not explored are vast unknown areas.

In fact, there are still many shortcomings in the Trans World transmission array. Being hit by the reality, the aspiring mages have finally bowed their heads and have to admit this. In this upsurge, many small countries have begun to carry out large-scale expansion movement towards their surrounding black forests and mountains, and have gained a lot of resources because of the discovery of the underground world, Today, the rapid expansion of the Principality of Roman is an example they are trying to imitate, while other big powers are calmly watching, but they have also sent a lot of teams to explore in private. The Radcliffe family is allowed to expand their territory towards the great AEAS mountains, which is part of this kind of exploration.

In the imperial capital, on the central commercial avenue leading to the mollai palace, a group of soldiers in black and cyan light armor trotted through the downtown area. The well-made armor made no noise except the clanging sound of the foot armor colliding with the ground. Many citizens and traders cast their eyes on these soldiers, then shrugged their shoulders and bowed their heads.

That's the Queen's own soldier.

In recent days, not only the empress, but also many nobles living in the imperial capital often send their cronies back and forth into the city, as if they are asking for information. Normally, if this kind of behavior is in their own territory, it's OK, but it's too overstepping in the imperial capital. This is the city where the emperor lives, even the empress, We must not let our own pro guards come and go swaggeringly.

But I don't know why, the emperor, who has always been dignified, didn't say anything. No, it's not so much that he didn't say anything as that he didn't respond at all. This is especially confusing to the people. However, the news will be covered up above, and naturally there are ways to inquire below. People who work in the palace of Morley who have relatives and friends get some dark news intermittently. Whether the news is true or false, one thing can be confirmed - no one has seen him in the palace of Morley since his Majesty presided over the celebration in the new year.

——This is amazing!

All the people who heard the news exclaimed in surprise. They all understood the seriousness of the matter and did not doubt the truth of the news.

You know, the royal family of the northern empire is different from the kings of the traditional kingdoms in the Western Hills. Moreley palace is not the private residence of the royal family. There are royal courts, imperial libraries and various public facilities in it. Even ordinary citizens can go in with permission, just like the imperial Library, Every year, one or two days are open to the outside world. You can go in and read freely as long as you pay.

In addition, his majesty never lived in the deep palace. He often went to the streets alone to inspect, and occasionally went to taste folk snacks. This was almost the practice of the northern emperors. Almost all the famous restaurants in the imperial capital had slogans that a certain generation of emperors had eaten here. They never deliberately avoided the crowd, It's about walking around as you like.

If it is normal for ordinary people not to see the emperor in front of them for a few months, but the palace attendants can not see the emperor in Morley palace for a few months, it can only show that your majesty is either seriously injured, can only lie sick in the deep palace, or your majesty has left the imperial capital for a long time and has not returned.People are inclined to the latter.

Perhaps it was because the emperor did not return for several months that the empress and the great nobles could not restrain themselves and began to inquire about the news? The mysterious disappearance of the head of a country can be concealed for three months, thanks to the fact that it's winter now, and there's no big deal, but now, it's really unbearable.

In the palace of Morley, the Delphi palace where the queen lives, the guards wearing black and blue light armor and covering her face walked quickly along the road. Most of them stayed in front of the palace gate, and only one of the leaders passed the detection of the guards and entered the palace.

The palace was quiet and desolate, with only a few scattered maids cleaning the dust. This was because neither the emperor nor the queen of this generation liked the feeling of being served by many servants and preferred to do it by themselves. It seems that the guards often come here to see them frequently, so a maid temporarily put down her work and silently led him to an open-air garden inside the palace. In the garden, a slim woman was watching flowers accompanied by several ladies.

Although it is winter now, the interior of the palace is warm as spring because of the magic array. The outdoor garden is surrounded by an array to adjust the humidity and light, so that any flower can open at any time.

The array consumes a lot of money. Because it involves the natural skill of the elves to promote the growth of plants, it consumes tens of magic crystals every day. Each magic crystal can make the civilians of the imperial capital live in peace for several months. It sounds very luxurious, but for the queen, who has no other hobby but to enjoy flowers, the most noble woman of the Empire, But it's nothing. I can even afford the word simplicity.

The maid asked her bodyguard to stay at the entrance of the garden, but she went forward to see her carefully. The slender woman in the center of the garden also found the bodyguard with round mouth, so she dismissed the ladies around and asked the maid to go back to inform her.

The tall leader was different from his subordinates. His armor was not bluish black, but pure black. After being informed by the maid, the Black Warrior quickly came to the woman's body under the guidance of the other party. He knelt down respectfully and bowed his head: "empress Edna..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Guinness, Tell me what you found

The beautiful woman named Edna bowed her head slightly, sighed a little tired, and asked her maid to arrange her loose silver hair. Her eyes are rare light gold. Her pupils are slightly different from those of ordinary human beings, but they are very similar to the Golden Dragon in the metal dragon. This means that the queen's ancestors may have dragon blood, Maybe it's just a golden dragon.

Recognizing the urgency of his Lord's words, the black armour warrior named Guinness immediately replied: "Your Majesty once secretly inspected the southern fortress group with master Nostradamus three months ago. He met with governor Ceres, who guarded the southern provinces. Then he went to three" places of falling stars "in the South and appeared next time, A month has passed. On the east side of the silent sand, a group of businessmen once saw his back from a distance. "

At this point, the warrior's tone had a trace of indisputable disdain: "I think it should be the emperor's intention to let them see, otherwise, with those ordinary businessmen, how can they detect his Majesty's whereabouts."

"Southern fortress, silent sand... What's your majesty doing there..."

After hearing the news, the queen in the light colored dress frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she continued to order, "go on."

Genis continued: "next, your Majesty's whereabouts were very strange. He was still on the western border. The next day, he came to the deep black forest in the eastern wilderness. We have integrated a lot of information. We can only say that master Nostradamus's space-time magic has improved again, and can carry out short-term continental transmission, Otherwise, we can't explain why your Majesty's position can be changed so quickly... But in recent months, your majesty and the master have disappeared completely, and no one has seen them any more. "

"They must be looking for something to travel around the whole empire... Where the stars fall. Is Israel interested in the things that fall from the boundless heaven?"

Edna turned her head and looked at the flowers beside her. She said to herself with a puzzled expression: "it's all legendary. Those things from the previous era can't be his help at all - no, it can't be said that, if the reason for his sudden recovery is that!" The words suddenly stopped. The queen turned her head and looked at the black armor warrior who was still kneeling on the ground respectfully: "Agnes, guess where your majesty and master Nostradamus should be now, so that we can't find them all over the Empire?"

The Queen's voice was soft, as if she were just asking, but GNIS knew that if she couldn't answer, she would be punished. However, the Black Warrior had already made up his mind. He immediately reported to her: "my subordinates guess that your majesty and the master should be in the empty Observatory now! So queen, what you and your nobles did in March after he left should be in your Majesty's eyes"Yes, it is."

Edna didn't feel surprised by this answer. She raised her head slightly and looked up at the sky. The queen turned her lips and made a helpless expression: "when will he do the same thing... He's just a martial arts man who can't do anything but fight. He's not romantic at all."

At the same time when the lady complained, the maid and the black armor warrior seemed to be deaf. Later, Edna was a little bored and said, "forget it, I didn't have time to do anything anyway - Guinness, cancel the action. The emperor doesn't mind us women engaging in court struggle, but it doesn't mean we can really do it."

"Yes The samurai in black armor responded immediately, and then he was led out of the garden by the maid, while queen Edna stood quietly in the garden, not knowing what to think.

"The situation has changed, my dear. Although I don't know when you have healed your wounds and when you have taken a step further, I know that your mind has not changed. You still don't want to be bound to the throne and want to go higher and farther."

Picking a flower casually, it seems delicate and weak, but a bright golden light suddenly lit up in the hands of an ordinary queen. Under the golden light, the delicate violet flowers suddenly began to wriggle violently. Soon, the flower became a little tree man. Queen Edna bent down, Put the tree man with a little flower on his head on the ground, patted him on the head and said to himself, "but before you leave, which one do you support most like your second prince dimore... Now is not the age of war, and the Empire does not need one who is so like you, so fierce and so grown up, And they can continue to suppress all the nobles who have been strong for a hundred years to become emperors. "

I don't need an emperor who is not my son.

The Queen's face was not a bit worried. She is the wife she took when she was fighting against the orcs in Israel. This seemingly weak woman is more calm than most men, and more skillful than most women.

But at this time, in the face of the situation known as the legendary strongman, even if she has all kinds of plans, it is meaningless. If Israel still has only a few years of life as before, Edna can naturally wait until her dear majesty dies, but not now.

In this way, she kept silent for a long time. In the past two years, the situation of the Empire has changed far beyond her imagination. Unlike Israel, who can travel freely, Edna, as Queen, can only stay in the palace, or at most walk around the imperial capital, so she has to wait for other people to report a lot of information. When she knows, it's too late to respond, For example, the count of Beidi has become a legend. She didn't hear any news before that. It's too late for her to make a good relationship after the news is released.

However, it is said that he is preparing to accept apprentices recently?

Suddenly thought of this, the queen immediately smile, she seems to think of a good idea, so quietly to his tree said: "to the seventh Prince where."

"Tell him there's an unprecedented opportunity."
