Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 142: City of Queens

"This is the Emerald City?"

After the checkpoint was temporarily separated by a wooden fence, D.D and Nate Nech Vanguard led the mount and looked at the crowded team before the checkpoint and the seemingly endless house behind in surprise.

"Ah, there are too many people, I can't get in the line."

"Is the Emerald City so lively? Or is there a market sale?"

"No, it's not a market, and there are no big price reductions," Guard Kongmuto squeezed from the other side with difficulty, trying hard to refuse the hawkers who peddled accessories: "But obviously, we are still here at a bad time. ……"

"Have you seen the police officers all over the street? There are more beggars in the royal capital."

"His Royal Highness Thales is about to collapse after seeing this. He is most afraid of more people..."

"Hey, everyone!"

Wya Casso-the real one-avoided a dusty carriage and came to them with a face towel: "Oh my God, it's not easy to squeeze in. Your Royal Highness waited too long behind. Now, Lord Mallos asked me to remind me, what's going on in the front?"

Commuto nodded. Amidst the crowd, he had to clasp his companions by the shoulders and raise the volume in their ears:

"I contacted the garrison officer here. He has sent a messenger to meet with Chief Mallorus with Zoneved! But the scene and the number of people, I can't see it! He suggested that we, for the sake of safety, the most Fortunately, wait outside the city. When the crowds pass, they will maintain order before entering the city. The Emerald City will bring food..."

Everyone in Star Lake Castle was suddenly dissatisfied.

"What a joke!"

"This is too lazy!"

"Let's wait so long, if they want to deliver food, it is better to have the famous wine of Emerald City..."

"Is there anything wrong? He just asked His Royal Highness to wait outside the city? We are the royal guard, leading from the center, representing the Fuxing Palace!"

"Why didn't they close the road? The messy hawkers are more important than the arrival of the prince?"

Huiya sighed and stood on tiptoe to look at the black checkpoint that was crowded with people:

"But the speed of entering the city...Are these people queuing? Why? The city tax should be paid?"

D.D squinted his eyes:

"What? There is still an entrance tax this year?"

Commuto shook his head and led everyone away from the crowd and walked towards the Duke’s motorcade:

"I’ve inquired. It’s not a simple city entrance tax, but a guarantee fee: everyone needs to register when entering the Emerald City. You must write clearly the guarantor and specific address in the city, including the amount of property you carry. If you leave within the specified time, the Urban Management Office will refund the original amount. If it is overtime, it will be deducted or even fined. If you violate any regulations, you have to pay back..."

Everyone complained again.

"Isn't that still taxing? Isn't this going to drive people away? What if no one is willing to come to the Emerald City in the future?"

"Then do we have to register when we go in? We represent your Royal Highness and the royal family!"

"The official who received just now said that the rules set by the late old duke, the prince and the people are treated equally..."

"Fuck, this old duke's road is narrow..."

"So he is'deceased'..."

"Don't worry, we are VIPs, fill in the form and pay the fee, and there will be a special person in the Emerald City to take care of it. It is not your turn to your delicate hands..."

The three finally squeezed out of the crowd, but they ushered in a team of acrobatics class, and they had to make a detour again.

"We caught up with the Emerald Festival, so it was very lively."

Kong Muto wiped the sweat from his face:

"In addition, the news of the visit of the Duke of Xinghu... the guests from the Seven Seas and Six Realms have come to the Emerald City around this month to get together-see, the dark-skinned people are red earth people, There are also those with weird hair accessories. The quasi-baos are the Humbles, the Kerensa from the Tyronn trading state, the Neda from the Ligur state, and the steppe people who don’t know any tribe, and I just saw it. A group of business travelers from the Far East don’t know if they came from Suye or Chengguo."

Nexi shook his head and said: "The Dacheng Khanate belongs to the Flame Sea Province, not the Far East..."

"Really, how do I remember that it was from the province of Trou?"

Commuto shrugged indifferently: "It makes no difference to me..."

"There are ten countries in the Far East, and it doesn’t have to be Suye, maybe it’s Curola..."

"Kurola is the name of an ancient province..."

D.D tusk despised: "Hey, who taught you geography..."

"Elf! I saw the elf! It's definitely the high elf from Donglu, the sharp chin..."

"Nonsense, elves also hate many people. When the Holy Tree Kingdom visited Yongxing City, their missions all picked to enter the city late at night. They were very low-key. You can only know when you leave..."

"Don't you see the orcs..."

"Look at the Grand Canal and the big ships on it. I guess it should be able to go directly to Gonghai City and to the End of the Sea!"

"Idiot, the canal boat will fall apart when going to sea!"

Behind the road, in the carriage separated by the guards of the Emerald City, the Duke of Star Lake and Thales Canxing put down their books and took a deep breath.

He felt every inch of the city's breath through the car window, with the help of hell's senses.

So, he arrived.

The capital of the South Bank, the base camp of Kevin Deere's family, the city of Lijing, the city of wealth, and the queen of the city-Emerald City.

There is no doubt that it is a completely different city from Yongxing City.

"I didn't see the city wall."

Beside the car window, Miranda is riding on the horse, holding the binoculars aloft, and trying to get past the guards of the Emerald City:

"Besides people, houses, streets, bridges and trees, they are bridges, houses, people, streets... and trees."

"Strange, I didn't find it either-did they tear down the wall?"

Glover on the side also searched for traces of the city wall.

"No hurry, I can't see it from here," the commander of the Star Lake Guard, Mallos sitting in the luggage cart on one side, calmly reading the last month's income and expenditure report, "Go forward two more from here. Only one block can be seen-and I suspect you will not recognize it if you see it. Several city gates have been transformed into streets."

"What? The area and radius of the Emerald City is so big? Can't even hold the wall?"

Miranda put down the binoculars, suspiciously at the crowd in front of her:

"How many people should there be?"

"Ten years ago, it was better than this," the logistics officer Shi Tuo replied with squinted eyes, "I guess it is expanding very quickly."

"Wait, in that case, the construction and renewal of the city wall can't keep up with the expansion of the city blocks. Isn't the city's defenses in vain?" Glover was equally surprised.

These words amazed the surrounding Star Lake Guards.

"Then how to defend against the enemy? At least guard against bandits?"

"How did the **** year survive?"

"The Scarlet Year didn't seem to hit the Emerald City..."

"Help me remember, how long does it take for Yongxing City to walk from south to north?"

"I haven't walked, but it must have not been so long."

"When was the last time you came?"

"When I was young, it has been more than ten years, but at that time..."

"I had an errand five years ago, but I was travelling by sea. I vomited all the way on the boat and didn't pay attention. In the blink of an eye, I crossed the Muhe and went inland."

"Three or four years ago, I had a cousin who got married, Damn. He told me that his family was outside the city. I looked at the surrounding neighborhoods and thought he was joking or being self-effacing. I will look at it now, tm Is it true? Peripheral?"

"Now I understand, why does my neighbor's son prefer to be a postman here rather than return to the capital..."

Tyles stretched, he closed the "The Emerald Mysterious City", put out the crime of the prison river, and shut the surrounding noise away from his ears.

It now appears that the scenery of Emerald City is indeed very different from that of Yongxing City.

At least, it's quite suitable for sightseeing and broadening your knowledge.

Thyls poked his head out of the carriage and waved to the standing Rolf and Paul.

Of course, if he really just came to travel, how good would it be?

The young man looked at the bustling crowd at the checkpoint in the Emerald City, thinking slightly depressed.

Or, is it okay to just have a blind date?

Well, it would be better if the girl’s brother was not Jane Kevin Deere.

"Since I am going to see my fiancée, I have to pick up myself to be more vigorous," said the Valencian Grandma, who had taken care of his image before departing from Star Lake Castle. "Clothes, accessories, Makeup, perfume, ah, don’t forget this, an anthology of bardic poems, we are sure to try a hundred spirits."

"I would rather bring the "Record of Oviedo's Ruling Gains and Losses"." At that time, Thales was wandering between lack of interest and anxiety, and only yawned when he heard the words.

"Oviedo? A king of Allenbia who beheaded two hundred years ago, can't please you girls."

Mother Valencia sternly pulled at his collar, and sighed: "Oh, my lord, you are really worried. You are only so young and you are going...in the team, who knows boys and girls? Is the dating etiquette? If you don’t understand anything and you offend the girl in a hurry, or you go to bed but don’t know how to protect it—"

"Mother!"

Thyls interrupted her helplessly: "According to the standards of the ancient empire, I am fourteen years old..."

"Don't take that set of perfunctory me," Valencia shook his head, "You are a half-year-old now, the age you have just learned to stare at the girl-by the way, that girl from the Aaron family, people You are all so proactive, do you have any ideas? Would you like to help you create opportunities?"

Thyls can only bury his head in the book and continue to sigh.

Of course, not everyone is reluctant.

"So, you are finally leaving!"

In the math class, Bachelor Julio excitedly took Thales’ exercise book, and then realized that it was wrong, and quickly squeezed out a surprised look: "Uh, I mean, you are leaving now. ?"

Thyls rolled up his eyes:

"Bachelor Julio, you seem to be very happy?"

"Eh, there is no... ahem, the Emerald City has convenient transportation, developed commerce, and gathered talents from all directions and seven seas, surging thoughts, prosperous culture, and prosperous style of study. It is also well-known in the kingdom," Julio I helped my glasses, and my momentum changed, "But after all, your Highness is also a student taught by the respected masters and bachelors of the Wang Liwen Law School. You are not weaker than others. This trip to the south requires more consideration. Learning, diligent every day, don’t fall into the prestige of our Yongxing students."

"It's too long to understand."

"Um, yes, remember to do your homework."

"What about you bachelor? The field accounts of the remaining two farms..."

"I'm doing it, I'm doing it! I'll be able to finish the calculation in another week-oh no, I'm obviously the teacher!"

"One week is too long, three days."

"Ah! Then...shall discuss your Highness, six days? How about five days?"

"Actually, Bachelor, I just wrote your majesty an application for a raise..."

"I will deliver the ledger tomorrow!"

The Bachelor of Beaune brought a lot of books to Thales, including the narrative poem "The Emerald Mystery City", the historical biography "Southern Development Records", the novel "The Legend of Far Sails", and the research paper "Li Jing and Seal: The Guarantor Tradition and Commercial Notarization System of the Emerald City Mining Association and the hymn of the sunset temple "Emerald at Dusk".

"The Emerald City? The Emerald City is awesome!"

The scholar with a bright scalp tremblingly took out the last book:

"The stars are vast in the country, with different scenery. The scenery is like this, and the people are even more."

Thyls took the book handed over by the fellow of Beaune, and his face changed as soon as he looked at the cover:

""The Enchantment of the Lich Queen"?"

The prince hid the book subconsciously:

"Is this stuff I can see?"

"Of course—no," blinked his muddy little eyes at Bona University. "So, don't be bored and read aloud to the entire Emerald City in public, especially the third act "The Girl Dreams Break A Paper" "Marriage", there are some descriptions in it, um, not very decent."

But besides this, I dare say that this is a rare and good play, comparable to "The Secret History of Iron Spikes", "Lacey Enrenzo in the Wind" and "Kurome and His Lovers "Comparable, especially helpful for you to understand the meaning of this mission-ah, youth, youth is gone forever. "

Tyles swallowed, bowed in a complicated mood and thanked him.

On the other hand, Wyeah went home and brought Thales with a stack of documents, all about the Emerald City information, and the header of every page was carefully cut off to prevent people. Seeing the source, but this does not prevent Thales from recognizing the faint impression left on the bottom page-it is the trace left by Gilbert's signature.

Faced with such a stack of documents, Thales was silent for a long time.

"If you have the opportunity, thank your father for me."

"Yes," Wiya responded respectfully, but murmured at the end, "If there is a chance."

If you have the opportunity.

Tyles glanced at Wiya, but after all he didn't say anything.

Of course, compared with these teachers, Thales’ other friendly, knowledgeable, respected, and inconvenient secret teacher is another style of painting.

"Are you really not going to the Emerald City with me?"

"As far as I know, you didn't go to the magic power," one afternoon in the study, the Qi magician still moved the chess piece in front of him gracefully and calmly (by the look of his eyes), "but to replace others. Run errands and continue the naive and ridiculous political game of mortals."

On the other side of the board, Thales cleared his throat: "To be precise, it's a blind date."

And—subvert the regime on the South Bank.

"And I am not interested in that, and I am insensitive to your intention to use me as a hole card."

"Then...what if I am going to die?"

"The Emerald City has no known legendary anti-devil armed forces in the last two hundred years."

"You can’t say that. There are rivers and harbours next to the Emerald City, which is rich in mineral deposits. It is not only the largest city in the west, but also one of the important intersections of the two continents. It brings together countless forces, maybe someday , Hey, here comes a legendary anti-devil weapon?"

"As a magician, I shouldn't go anymore."

"Um, what about the rare perfect anti-magic weapon, what about the dear teacher, what if it appears?"

"Then your highness, you will be my forerunner and inquire about the information?"

"...What if, what if I die in a political conspiracy and die in the hands of mortals?"

"That's what you deserve," Ashida relentlessly ate the knight of Thales. "It is you who have been narrow-minded and short-sighted for a long time, satisfied with the worldly power, but have no intention of learning from magic, delaying and slacking. , The inevitable consequence of carelessness."

Thyls was silent for a while.

"You just refuse to go, don't you?"

"I can go, maybe I can take care of you one or two..."

"That's right! Teachers and students help each other, the teaching phase—"

"As long as you are willing to abandon everything you have now, and completely embark on the path of magic."

Thyls chuckled at the corner of his mouth and pointed at the king who overthrew himself:

"Well, excuse me, you can rest."

Ashida suddenly looked up:

"Remember, even if you are in a crisis, you should never reveal your ‘juggling’ ability."

Juggling.

Tyles' eyes rolled:

"Even if I am going to die?"

The magician is unmoved: "As you said, the Emerald City is located on the main road of the sea. It is a mixture of fish and dragons. It is impossible to guarantee that there will be no eyes and ears of our enemies. If those two **** find out, then you will also die. It is also very likely to involve me."

Thyls couldn't help but curl his lips.

Aishida's tone was silent: "Then, good luck, fool who insists on wandering in the muddy water."

Seeing that there is no hope for help, Thales sighed disappointedly.

But before the end of get out of class, the teenager couldn't help but speak.

"In any case, Mr. Sackern, I still want to thank you before I leave."

Ashida had a look in her eyes:

"For what?"

Thyls rubbed the king's chess piece in his hands and was silent for a while.

"For me to put aside my identity, let go of my worries, and speak freely for a while during these few hours."

The magician did not answer.

He looked at Thales faintly, not knowing what to think.

Quiet in the study.

Thyls didn't expect an answer. He shook his head mockingly, stood up and walked out the door: "Then, we should end get out of class."

It's ironic.

But also very helpless.

And this is his life.

From the Hongfang Street that night, from the time he walked into the Fuxing Palace.

"Child."

When the Duke's hand touched the doorknob, Ashida suddenly stopped him.

"If life is in danger, forget what I said."

Forget about...

Thyls frowned and turned back: The magician's voice was surprisingly... illusory.

Ashida was silent for a while, and his eyes flashed blue from an angle that Thales could not see. "If you are going to die, you will give it all and go all out to make the best trick of your life."

Tels paused.

The most exciting trick?

At that moment, his throat moved and his mood was complicated.

Presumably, I have known each other for so many years.

Or more or less, there is a little teacher-student friendship?

Ashida's figure slowly fades:

"Information, as long as you die out of mana control first, the twin emperors will not be able to find you."

Tyles smiled stiffly, and when he recovered, the room was already empty.

Fuck the teacher-student friendship.

As for the Star Lake Guard, although some people have vaguely guessed that this trip is not as easy as literally, most people are still quite excited ("I will never stay in this place where birds don't **** anymore!"-Neshi Sincerely sighed, before he was punished to clean up the bird droppings in the letter crow cage), especially after hearing that the Duke was going to visit Miss Kevin Deere.

"In short, this trip to the Emerald City, we have a very tight schedule, we must catch up with the city activities of'Queen's Day'..."

Not long ago, Thales was sitting on the long table in the ascending hall, speaking to the guards and attendants of Star Lake Castle, but many people still focused on Thales’ side. On Miranda.

"Queen's Day? Do you mean the Emerald Celebration?" Nexi was overjoyed at the long table. "Which Kingdom's famous carnival, which is famous for drinking and drinking for seven consecutive days?"

The guards seated on both sides of the long table were in an uproar.

Mallos frowned, while Thales gritted his teeth.

"Yes, the celebration of emerald. But literally, it is still'Queen's Day', a tradition passed down to commemorate the grace of the queen, just like we are here to commemorate Fuxing Festival and King's Day, and the Western Wilderness Celebrate Chasing the Holy Day..."

But before he finished speaking, he was overwhelmed by the jubilant crowd.

"So you really want to marry the daughter of Kevin Deere?"

"So, the castle is about to welcome a mistress?"

Thyls had to cough, and bothered to explain: "Attention, attention! Going to the Kongming Palace to meet the Iris family is indeed the most important task of this trip, but it would be impolite to talk hastily about an unmarried lady's life-long event... "

However, the people in Star Lake Fort are very interested:

"Will it be too early to get married now? After all, you are only fourteen years old, and the world is still wonderful...Uh, or is it too late?"

"Eh, Lao Kong, you don't understand this. If you don't get married and ask your wife first, how can you know that the outside world is wonderful?"

"I heard that Kevin Deere is rich and rich, and there will be no less dowry, right? Does this mean we finally have money?"

"Then I propose to rebuild the toilet and sewer..."

"Do you care about this? Why don't you worry more about whether there will be some southern cubs from the Emerald City coming to grab your job..."

"Just what I need, to retire early..."

Under the chattering of the people in Star Lake Castle, Thales finally couldn't bear it.

The next second, he took out a slap-sized puppet bear and buckled the long table fiercely.

Miranda frowned on one side.

Amidst D.D's painful sobbing, everyone stared at the puppet bear, only then did they remember the cruel and cold character of the Duke of Xinghu.

Quiet on both sides of the long table.

"Very good."

Tyles looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, I am usually too friendly.

These guys don't have a long memory unless they are tough.

"I think you all know that the Emerald City has a pleasant climate and prosperous commerce. It is the second largest city in the kingdom after the royal capital, but for some reasons I’m inconvenient to explain directly, but you probably also know it, The relationship between Duke Jen and me is, um, complicated."

Everyone is still quiet, but they cannot look away from the bear.

The Duke of Xinghu cleared his throat and straightened the slightly slanted bear, so that everyone could see its full picture:

“Therefore, we are not going on vacation. In addition to the celebration, guests from all over the world gather. From travel security to social affairs, our work will not be easy.”

The tearful D.D bit his lower lip:

"If this is the case, why are we going?"

Paul sitting in the corner suddenly said:

"That's why we are going."

There was another whisper on both sides of the long table, and words such as "political marriage", "soothing", "smashing the place", "robbing his sister and being his brother-in-law" slipped into the ears of the duke while whispering.

After all, Mallos on the side couldn’t see it after all. He snatched the bear and deprived the Duke of his right to speak:

"In short, the schedule and route have been set, and the contact with Kongming Palace has been completed. We have to arrive at the Emerald City four days before the Queen’s Day at the latest. It is best to enter Kongming Palace on the same day. Emerald The city will arrange the next affairs for us, but it’s a big deal. The guards can’t relax at any time, let me know who of you is going wrong..."

Everyone who lost their focus was unable to react until Mallos warned dissatisfiedly:

"Have you heard!"

Everyone reacted, and they all responded together, sounding through the castle, and morale was high.

Malles snorted and threw the puppet bear back into the Duke's arms.

So, the convoy of the Duke of Xinghu to the Emerald City set off on a certain day in autumn. They drove out of Xinghubao, crossed the town, crossed the Muhe, and then turned southeast to the south branch of Grace Avenue. On the way, they passed many places: Swan County, Jinghe, Weitroen Town, Walla Corridor, Tusk Land , Maolin...

The more we go forward, the climate becomes humid and warm, river crossings become dense, wild forests and wastelands gradually disappear, and the terrain and roads become more regular and smooth. Even the weeds on both sides of the road are much smoother. People in the wheat fields during the harvesting season People come and go, farms and ranches are busy, there are many types of workshops in the town, various merchants are bustling, messengers and postmen are running back and forth between the castle and villages, Thales looked all the way, and only thought that this was the official document in the stars. The "Taiping Kingdom" described in this article.

It was still peaceful along the way. When the mayors and noble princes in most places learned that the Duke of Xinghu was passing through the border, they sent envoys to wait on the way early, leading the way, and even sending guards and patrols to separate the miscellaneous people, etc. If it is dark or heavy rain, we will provide accommodation supplies without any difference. But while treating each other with courtesy, most people are also serious, and even keep away from it, which makes Thales sigh.

It's like having an invisible hand, pushing everything behind this journey.

Unconsciously, the Duke and his party entered the South Bank and came to the Emerald City.

Tyles' thoughts went back to the present, back to the carriage outside the Emerald City.

"Look at that idiot, just walking down the street with a bag of gold, I bet it will be placed in Yongxing City. Once it gets dark, the others will be gone."

"If you are in Xiacheng, you don't even have to wait until dark."

The chatter of D.D and Nehy entered his ears, Thales smiled and shook his head, but his smile disappeared quickly.

After all, he is not here to travel, right?

Tyles' eyes sharpened.

He came to capture and destroy.

The prince lowered his head and opened the Emerald City information that Wiya brought.

To understand the Emerald City, of course, you must first understand the Kevin Deere family.

The Kingdom of Stars has gone through thirty-nine supreme kings (not counting those who have actually been on the throne, but for various reasons, were stripped of qualifications by royal historians or temple priests). The history contains no less than fifty Queens, 13 of them come from the Kevin Deere family and their branches in the Emerald City.

As for the rest of the noble women who married into the wealthy and distinguished families, and as the mistresses in charge of the family's households, there are countless. This fact makes the Emerald City win the reputation of "Queen City" early, and the "Queen of the Stars, the Crown" The common saying of "the jade" also made the iris family unable to take off the hats of foreign relatives and relatives and the king's uncle for a long time.

Well, Thales turned a page, thinking that he wasn't unreasonable to come here for a blind date, at least in the traditional way.

But, thirteen queens, this is too much.

There is only one reason for this: Kevin Deere’s dowry-whether it is substantial or political-is too rich.

Thinking of this, Thales couldn't help but glance at the portrait of Miss Kevin Deere.

Conversely, it is not uncommon for royal princesses to marry the Emerald City: the wife of the fourth Duke of Iris is Princess Celicia, the young daughter of "Black Eye" John I, and "Early Sail" Kessel II. He even married his younger sister (in fact, he also married his three daughters to seven Duke of Xinjiang) to the Emerald City, and obtained the full support of the South Bank Nation. With the help of the family fleet, they won the historic battle of Borasco, buried the ships of the Humbler dynasty on the bottom of the sea, and strangled the ambition of the "Unbounded Cardil" on the other side of the end of the sea.

The sea, the navy.

Thyls made some notes. For a long time, the kingdom’s maritime existence has relied on the three major families of the East China Sea to face the end of the sea. Therefore, the Duke of Cullen also firmly occupies the position of prime minister. It is impossible for King Kessel not to want to change this status quo, but the **** year Later, the development of the Royal Navy was far inferior to the standing army on the ground, after all, the cost of the former was twice that of the latter.

Obviously, Nan'an Ling is the second choice.

But does it stop there?

Thyls turned another page.

In fact, two hundred and fifty years ago, when the famous court struggle in the history of stars ended in the "blood debt dispute" that lasted for three generations, a Duke Kevin Deere was his princess wife ——The daughter of "Money Lender" Mindis II-Shen Zhang Guo's succession to the throne, and his wife and brother "Surviving King" Elan III compete for the nine-star crown. Of course, what happened later was the favorite of the writers of plays, novels, or bardics: the eldest daughter of Elan III, Miss Elika at the time, and Queen Elika, the "Northern Conqueror" led the mercenary siege. The Emerald City ("I heard about the restlessness of the South Bank, there are thieves and bandits coveting the royal family, especially for aunts and bandits."), frightened the aunt and uncle's ambitions, and helped his father Elan III ascend to the throne.

In Canstar’s genealogy, the most recent queen of iris dates back nearly sixty years ago. The second wife of the "smooth" Sumei IV, Bella Kevin Deere, said She also has something to do with Star Lake Castle: she is the biological mother of former Duke Xinghui John.

Queen Shi Zai Bella has a beautiful appearance and dignified demeanor. She was a well-known lady in the kingdom at that time. But after she married into the royal family, her public and luxurious personality caused the people to criticize her poorly and was a lot of extravagance. The Hundred Flowers Banquet even gave Bella the vicious derogation of "Queen of the Witch". Obviously, these were malicious slanders with a deliberate intention. Earl Almond, the treasurer, and Duke Kevin Deer, the prime minister of the kingdom, are closely related to the triangular political struggle.

Tyles rubbed his chin and read Gilbert's notes.

There is no doubt that the influence of the Kevin Deere family on the kingdom’s politics and even the royal family’s genealogy has reached its peak, but something obviously happened in the middle that made the star and The iris is gradually alienated, and the blood is not connected.

Thinking of this, Thales thought of the story told by the Duke of the Western Wilds about the story of the queen Bella trying to abolish the growth and development of the young, and he couldn't help but feel a little fascinated.

He turned to the next page.

However, regardless of the reason, the half-century of estrangement is quite unfavorable in terms of Canstar’s influence in the far frontiers and the status of Kevin Deere’s kingdom. Therefore, in the middle of the reign of King Eddie II, it is only natural that he and the Duke of Leinster Kevin Deere began to strengthen their contacts. The first king appointed the Duke of Leinster as the minister of commerce and trade, and was stationed in the royal capital to serve the imperial court. Then, from the south bank, a group of young talents were promoted to the royal capital for experience, including the later Earl of Walla, Turami Karabi. Young, Earl of Zedi, Acheson Rasia, Viscount of Gonghai City, Sona Kevin Dier.

The Duke of Leinster also led the Iris family to retaliate. He first re-dredged and even re-excavated the communication canal between the upper and lower sides of the Shepherd River to connect the long-lost business exchanges between the Central Leader and the South Bank. This promoted the Emerald City. The development of the surrounding ports also brought great benefits to the army's logistics in the **** years. In the Scarlet Year, the Iris family spared no effort to provide a steady stream of money and troops for the Fuxing Palace. In fact, the famous Star Legion was recruited and established at a time when the treasury was embarrassed. The Duke of Leinster's back support and the leaders of the South Bank The contribution of joining is indispensable.

In addition, the former King Eddie II was keen to patrol the kingdom and inspect the territory, not only to maintain the relationship with the wealthy and prominent families of various places in private, but also to take the opportunity to let the traditional central circuit court visit various places, investigate the situation and conclude the case, and spread the king The authority reaffirms the kingdom’s regulations. Among them, the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate Emerald City is one of Eddie II’s favorite cities to visit. The former kings often stay here for ten months, and even convene imperial conferences here, and the officials and aristocrats accompanying them are related to geography. I also admired the city of queens. Even the third prince Bancroft made a life-long event during such a parade and married a prince and concubine from the South Bank.

After the Scarlet Years, there were scars everywhere in the kingdom. Only the surrounding areas of the Emerald City were not poisoned by the war. Although the soldiers leaving the country did not survive the war, they absorbed a large number of fleeing immigrants and property during the war. The Duke of Upper Leinster implemented the policy of rest and recuperation. On the one hand, he exempted his vassals from military service taxes. On the other hand, he actively rebuilt the post-war order in the territory. The South Bank territory was able to quickly recover after the war. The Emerald City soon became the second largest city after the Everstar City (Gilbert urged the Finance and Taxation Department and the Household Registration Department to recalculate the population and economic profile of the South Bank Territory, but they failed to make a trip). "City of Queens" has become a "Queen of the City" in essence, and the Kevin Deere family also flourished for a while, until the disaster of the iris—

"His Royal Highness will definitely accept it!"

Outside the carriage, there was a noise that was incompatible with the crowd, including the scream of the horses and the call of the Star Lake Guardian. Thales, who was interrupted by reading and excerpting, frowned and raised his head.

"Tell me, sir, please pass it all the way, pass it all the way, this is a little bit of heart, a bit of heart, it is to quench the thirst of the grown-up brothers..."

The movement outside the carriage is getting louder and louder, and the guards of Star Lake are obviously also nervous. Thales feels that his carriage has been surrounded by groups in the sense of hell.

Well, it’s not impossible to make an assassin come to the killer at this time, anyway, he is used to it, just...

Tyles reluctantly closed the document.

Can you let me finish it first?

"What's going on outside?" Thales didn't stick his head out of the window ("No matter what happens outside the carriage, the last thing you should do is probe your head-I'm an assassin, and I'll be happy to finish it at this time. Kill."——Malius who pressed Thales' head back from the car window countless times), but asked cautiously.

A few seconds later, the faces of Miranda and Glover appeared out of the car window.

"A civilian who caught up from behind, did not know how to see our identity, and then slipped into the Emerald City Guard's quarantine line." Glover was a little embarrassed, guilty for leaking his deeds, "This will He is behind, shyly wanting to give your Highness a gift."

Miranda takes the conversation:

"Terror-Lord Mallos is leading people to check his entourage one by one, but in my opinion, it should not be an assassin, at least not himself."

A civilian, see my identity?

"Decline the gift, persuade him to go back, but calm him down, don't leak too much," Thales shook his head, "Also, let Mallos take a moment to check, before reaching the Kongming Palace, We still keep a low profile."

Gift?

Hey, newcomer here, the hatred is as deep as the sea, and the ghost knows what Jaen has prepared a "gift" for me.

"Of course, Your Highness." Glover nodded and left.

The noise outside the carriage continued, but Thales quickly captured the formulaic tone of the logistics officer Stona from the senses of hell:

"Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, sir. We have passed the message, your highness knows, and he is very grateful. But unfortunately, we can’t drink on official business, and your highness is not good at drinking, but you Don’t be discouraged..."

Not good drinking.

Thyls frowned when he thought of something.

"Miranda? Karen?"

"Well, you guys, let's go and accept the wine," Thales sighed at them, "Don't drink it, and don't look too enthusiastic."

Glover nodded without hesitation, but Miranda paused:

"Can I ask why?"

Thyls was silent for a while.

"Because...As the Duke of Xinghu, I can't drink badly."

Miranda's eyes moved, but she didn't say anything.

"Wait, what is that person's name?"

Glover was taken aback, and was about to go back to ask for his name, Miranda said calmly:

"Moss, Your Highness. His name is Dagori Moss, and he seems to be here for the Emerald Celebration."

Dagori Moss.

At that moment, Thales' smile disappeared.

"Dagory Moss," the Duke of Xinghu muttered the name, his eyes became more and more cold, "You said, he shouldn't have received it from the central government, he also happened to be a patriotic king. A big wine merchant who is considerate to his employees, but unfortunately loses money and goes bankrupt, right?"

Glover frowned and was about to ask, but Miranda raised his eyebrows: "I don't know if he is a patriot, caring about his employees, and I don't know if he loses money or goes bankrupt, but he just Introducing myself, I really say that I am the honorary director of the Central Liquor Merchants Association."

Glover's meal:

"Your Highness, do you know him?"

Thyls looked out the window in a dream.

"No, I don't know."

But he changed his mind:

"We walked very low-key along the way, you said, how did he see through our identity and come to us again?"

Glover was stagnant when he heard the words.

"My negligence, Your Highness, it should have been too obvious when I set up the formation these days."

Thyls smiled, and he shook his head.

"No, trust me, it's not your negligence--but why don't you drink if you have wine?"

Miranda and Glover looked at each other.

Tyles put away the books and documents, opened the door and got out of the carriage: "You go and invite this Mr. Morse, and let him come to see me."

Miranda stared at him:

"Can I ask why?"

Thyls raised his head, smiling brightly:

"Because I can't wait."

————

"Here is the latest news."

In a dark and dim room covered by thick cloth curtains, a figure opened the door holding a candle, with a low voice:

"Big Man No. 2 has arrived in the Emerald City."

The candlelight is faint, reflecting a dining table in the room.

"Finally!"

A dark figure lying on the dining table struggled to get up, stretched, and rubbed a sword in his hand: "It's been so many days, I can't wait!"

"Big Man No. 2," the third voice sounded from the bottom of the table, "What does he have?"

The candlelight flickered, and there was a dead silence in the room.

"Everything."

Above the theme, the fourth shadow raised his head and spoke quietly, as if in a dream:

"Fame, power, status, subordinates-he has everything."

The black shadow rubbing the sword and the last black shadow fell silent.

"The second person is light and simple."

By the door, the dark shadow holding the candlelight calmly said:

"But the power around them should not be underestimated. They are tightly guarded, drip-proof, and they are also masters of the Royal Guard in the Fuxing Palace, keen and alert, unfathomable."

The black shadow holding the sword and the last black shadow looked at each other.

"The king, the house, the guard, the team?"

The fifth voice was cold and hoarse, and it sounded from the corner of the room, bringing a ring of chains.

The sound made everyone in the room shudder.

"I remember."

Amid the rustling of the chains, a pair of gloomy pupils emerged from the darkness, sneering with gloomy sneers:

"A long time ago, I killed one."

The people in the room seemed to be very afraid of this voice. When his voice fell, no one answered for a long time.

After a long time, those who hold the candlelight are careful to speak:

"Fortunately, ~IndoMTL.com~ we did not detect the traces of the extreme masters. Obviously the fortress flower is not in the team, nor is the Kingdom's Fury."

"Rejoice?"

The people in the corner sneered and made the metal rattle:

"Still a pity?"

The people in the room resisted the desire to look towards the corner.

"In short, we still have to be cautious. After all, it is the Royal Family of Stars, so we can't be too careful." The candle holder whispered.

"Hahahahaha, number two...Look at your scared look, how, is it harder than number one?" The sneer laughter in the corner sounded again:

"Or maybe, I should kill you first? To avoid bad things?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Up to the main seat of the dining table, that dreamlike voice came:

"Shhh..."

"Listen to you."

"Have you heard?"

The others were all startled.

I saw the black shadow on the main seat with his head sideways, his palms against his ears, and he closed his eyes in the candlelight and listened:

"The city is whispering."

"She opened her arms and warned everyone who came here."

"Whispering?" The dark shadow in the corner said with disdain, causing a sensation, "Didn't you say—fuck you all?"

The other three frowned.

Only the black shadow on the theme ignores him and continues to immerse himself in his own world:

"Emerald City, she said..."

"Ning to die because of a friend, not an enemy." He said these words slowly.

There is no answer.

Including the dark shadows in the corners.

"Yes," the black shadow on the theme whispered, cautiously as if he was coaxing a baby: "Our beloved Highness Thales?"
