Law of the Devil Chapter 134: [Affliction of the Empire] (on)
Chapter 134 [Afflictions of the Empire] (Part 1)
The same broken hands and feet, the same waiter dress, the same temperament. All this immediately reminded Du Wei of the night he was assassinated in Jumu Town on the road to Didu!
A little bit of evil spirit just appeared on his face, the waiter immediately noticed, and his original calm expression flashed a little alert immediately. After taking a step back, there was a sudden light in his eyes. Keep an eye on Dewey!
Dewey's hand has touched a magic scroll in his sleeve. Since encountering the assassination incident, Du Wei has a good habit. He specially sewed two pockets in the sleeves of his magician robe. The wide sleeves of the magician robe are a good place to hide weapons. There are several magic scrolls in the pockets of the two sleeves, so that they can quickly protect themselves when they are in danger.
At this moment, a scroll of magical petrification held by Dewey's hand, stared at the waiter carefully. As soon as he dared to move a little, he was ready to eject the scroll from his sleeve.
"What's wrong with you, my dear friend? Seeing your face, it seems a little uncomfortable?" With a gentle greeting, Prince Chen suddenly took a step slowly. This step was just right. The kind of gentle breath immediately dispelled the murderous spirit between Du Wei and the waiter, and instantly dissipated the crisis to invisible. This step seemed to be simple for Prince Chen, but it seemed that he was intentionally or unintentionally right in the middle of Du Wei and the waiter.
Du Wei smiled reluctantly and gave a deep glance at the Highness: "It's nothing, but suddenly there is a headache." Then, his eyes crossed the Prince Chen and fell into the waiter's hand, smiling: "I'm just curious. Why is this waiter's hand in this kind of place ..."
The waiter also seemed relieved, and bent down silently, bowing respectfully to Du Wei, but even when he bowed, his body was very tight and seemed to be ready at all times. Dewey looked at him without moving. After the waiter bowed, he quietly backed away.
"This is not the right place." Prince Chen whispered quietly into Dewey's ears. As soon as Dewey blinked, he saw the deep eyes of the young Highness, and he covered the cough. A cry: "I'm just curious."
Later, Prince Chen has pulled Du Wei out of the door and came to the terrace.
This terrace is large. The cyan stone carving is under the dark night, the outline looks with a hint of mystery. Du Wei deliberately looked at a statue of an ancient warrior in front of him. The statue warrior, holding a sword and wearing armor, stood quietly on the stone platform. Dewey took a closer look. On the warrior's face, his eyes were inlaid with precious stones, and the sword in his hand was carved out of ivory. Under the light of the surrounding moonlight. A faint warm and soft sheen appeared on the ivory.
"The backstage of this place should be the military." Du Wei suddenly stared at the statue of the samurai for a long time.
Mr. Chen held the railing on the terrace in one hand and held a crystal wine glass in one hand. After listening to Du Wei's words, she did not answer immediately, but took a sip of wine first, then took a deep breath. Smiling: "Look, it's still a terrace. How beautiful are the roses in the garden below ... If you can bring your beloved girl in front of such moonlight and flowers, it will be a wonderful one. Then, Prince Chen turned and looked at Du Wei. "My friend, tell me, do you have a girl you love?"
"..." Du Wei glanced silently at the Highness, thinking for a while ...
Beloved girl?
I don't know why. Think of this sentence. Dewey suddenly flashed in his mind the day when he said goodbye to Vivienne in Walker Harbor. The little beauty magician who was stuttering and blushing timidly kissed her cheek gently, then left the scene.
"Maybe, there is," Du Wei answered with a smile involuntarily.
Prince Chen quietly glanced at Du Wei, a faint solitude appeared on his handsome face: "Unfortunately, I didn't."
Speaking, he shook his head, drank the wine in the glass, then dropped the glass, walked to Du Wei, and smiled, "You guessed just now, the backstage of this place is indeed an army Party. "
Nothing changed on Dewey's face.
"I don't know what happened to you just now." Prince Chen frowned slightly: "But I need to remind you that you are better not to do anything more than usual in this place. The depth of water in this place is not As you can imagine. Even if your father is here, you won't want to provoke those who are behind here. "
At this point, Prince Chen glanced at Du Wei and said, "What are you thinking?"
"Nothing," Du Wei said indifferently, "I just think that this place is actually opened by the military ... somewhat unexpected. The dignified Imperial military will actually make this kind of place ..."
"Yes." There was a sorrow of anxiety in Prince Chen's eyes, and he whispered, "It's sad ... maybe, this is also one of the signs before the chaos."
Then he sighed and stood side by side with Dewey: "This is actually no secret. In the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, everyone knows it, but no one will break it. Even my father, he knows the existence of this place, knows that the military has made such a place around the capital of the emperor ... Hehe! The dignified imperial army, the army guarding the glory of the empire, actually did this kind of thing, you think Is my father very happy? Every time he mentions this place, he will be annoyed ... but what can be done about it? Even the big men in the military command, including your father, although I do n’t like this place, but I ca n’t help it. ”
"Why?"
"Because of money!" Prince Chen smiled bitterly: "Because of the lack of military spending!"
Speaking, Prince Chen looked up, looked at the meniscus in the sky, and sighed softly: "My father, His Majesty Augustine VI, the ruler of this continent, is forty-four The monarch of the year ... To be honest, if he was born in a war-torn era ... such as the Aragon era, or the turbulent era when our Augustine family came to the throne to save the empire, with the character of my father, I am afraid that he can become a dominant hero Jun! He likes martial arts, he likes martial arts most, his favorite is the southern battle and the northern battle, and he constantly conquers to meet his inner glory needs ... In fact, this is not a shortcoming. If it is a war, it will be a monarch. Very good character advantage, but unfortunately, he was born in an era where the empire was stable ... and still in a empire with a history of a thousand years, the country has reached an era of prosperity and decline! Such an era, but it has produced a A monarch whose heart is full of desire to conquer is not the blessing of a nation. "
Du Wei didn't say anything. The other party was under the incumbent emperor. It was a great crime to debase the monarch. The other party was the emperor's favorite youngest son. He said that his son was awful, even if it was known, it didn't matter, but he couldn't answer.
"My father was forty-four years in the throne, but unfortunately the entire continent has been unified. Where else can he conquer and vent his desire to conquer? The only thing that remains is the frequent changes after the Northwest Desert. Twenty years ago, a desert expedition organized by my father slaughtered a total of 100,000 aliens, blood-stained yellow sand, and that year was called 'the year of bleeding.' Alas ... my father was too anxious. Although these aliens frequently make changes, they are all petty, and generally under the rule and control of the empire. However, because his father was anxious and found a target that could be vented, he did it desperately. ... Have a lifetime of pride, but it turned into a spirit of killing. Although the conquest severely damaged the aliens, but the slaughter of 100,000 people was murdered, but those aliens have formed a **** hatred with the empire. The appeasement policy has no effect anymore. Alas ... Unfortunately, the ex-emperor, my grandfather's efforts for thirty years, were wiped out by his father's slaughter! "Speaking here, Chen DU Wei looked a child: "? That expedition desert war, you know"
Du Wei nodded.
Although the war took place twenty years ago, when Dewey did not come to this world, he has learned a lot of history books and literature, and Dewey probably knows the war.
There is a vast desert to the northwest of the mainland. The depth of the desert is a narrow and long grassland from the geographical environment. On that land, a nomadic alien tribe was born, who was not bad by nature, and defended bravery. That nation was once conquered by the empire during the Aragon era, but after all, the inland empire and the steppe nation separated a desert, which became the biggest obstacle for the empire to control that area. For centuries, the Empire's control of that conquered nation was weak. That nation also often set off small-scale rebellions. The empire repeatedly sought, and it always won. However, the vast desert has caused the empire's supply to be severely lost. Whenever it wins war, it often loses more than it pays.
