Chapter 192
When they arrived at Melis' room, Herot asked worriedly: "You seem to be in a bad state of mind. Did you bear too much pressure in the palace today?"
< br> Melis opened the window and let the cool night breeze blow in. Then she held the window frame with both hands and took a deep breath of the outside air.
“The palace does not put much pressure on me, but this city puts too much pressure on me. To be honest, I am very uncomfortable with life here. Everyone wears many masks. I can't see what they want to do.
It's better to live in Ice and Snow Peak. Every day is very simple, and the enemies I face are very clear. Unfortunately, my body can't stand the cold there... Isn't it a bit cold? Ridiculous? The daughter of the Snow Duke is afraid of the cold! ”
Helot also lay on the window frame, looking at the bustling metropolis outside.
“Can the injury to your bloodline be cured?”
Meilis replied: “The palace physician said they had no good solution but to make a warming potion for me to adjust my constitution. I hope I can heal on my own as time goes by, but it’s been two years and I don’t feel any signs of improvement
Maybe I’ll never go back.”
Meili. Si looked at the sky. Under the light of the city, she could not see the stars all over the sky, which made her miss the starry sky in northern Xinjiang.
Helot: "If you can't go back, just live here. Wear a mask and adapt to the rules here. The new environment is not as complicated as you think. You have to learn to relax to see the wonderful things."
"You It’s easy to say! If you have the ability, go live in Northern Xinjiang for a few years and see if you can see the wonderful things there.”
“If I have the chance, I really want to go to Northern Xinjiang and see the Wanli Cliffs and the Ice Sky. Xuefeng, let’s see what the real Han Demon looks like.”
“The Han Demon is... very beautiful! People who don’t understand the Han Demon can easily be attracted by their beauty and then become their prey. "
"I heard that the first generation of Snow Duke was the child of a human and a cold demon, so he had the bloodline of Northern Lights."
"There is such a legend...A long time ago, the cold monsters that came down from the Wanli Cliff attacked a human village. They killed everyone, but like all stories, one child survived..."< br>
Helot has heard many versions of the story of the first generation of Ice and Snow Dukes, but this was the first time he heard it told by a descendant of the Ice and Snow Dukes.
When the child grew up, he took a sword and went to seek revenge on the cold demon alone. On the road, he experienced countless difficulties and grew up again and again amidst the difficulties. He tamed an armored bear, found the only ice and snow peak that could climb thousands of miles of cliffs, and entered the kingdom of cold demons.
He slaughtered all the cold demons he saw indiscriminately, and was also hunted down by the cold demon warriors.
In the end, he was lost in a snowstorm with scars all over his body. In order to survive, he let go of a chasing cold demon and forced her to take care of him.
"In the process of getting along, he fell in love with that cold demon, but was killed by that cold demon."
Helot waited for a while, not hearing the follow-up to the story, and then asked: "What happened next? Could it be that Han Yao was pregnant with that person’s child, and Han Yao raised that child to be the first generation of Ice and Snow Duke?”
Melise shrugged: “I don’t know the rest of the story. . Anyway, the ancestors told us descendants through this story, not to believe the cold monster. The mission of the Erwin family is to guard the ice and snow peak to prevent the cold monster from coming down from the Wanli Cliff."
"What a one. The story that makes people crazy is not as exciting as the story of Claude's ancestors." Helot felt like he had a lump in his throat after hearing the story of the Erwin family, so he had to change the subject: "You gave it to me from the palace. What news did you bring?”
“I’ll get a glass of water and let’s talk slowly”
Melis brought a glass of water to Herot, and the two sat down and talked about what happened in the palace today. "The Rust Nobles requested the establishment of a Heavy Knights Order affiliated with the Heavy Industry Committee. His Majesty agreed. He also agreed that the Rust Nobles independently investigate the death of Earl Seacomb.
The Rust Nobles It already has a large-scale family force and controls the production of weapons. I believe that we will soon see this heavily armed knights in the Covenant City.”
In the Oath of Glory Empire, knights generally refer to non-members. A private armed force belonging to the imperial royal family, and a recognized legal military force at the same time. For example, the Snow Duke has an armored bear knights.
But since the end of the Blood Rebellion, the empire has been trying to find ways to disband these knights, who are essentially private soldiers of the nobles. Hundreds of years have passed, and there are only a few knights left in the empire, and most of them have been restricted in scale.
The rust nobles are setting up a knighthood this time, and it is also a knighthood equipped with heavy weapons. They are undoubtedly reversing the course of history and touching the back of the emperor.
But the current situation forced Emperor Bradley to compromise.
After listening to Melis' story, Herot said: "From the standpoint of the Rust Nobles... Earl Secombe died because of us, and your identity means that we have His Majesty's support behind us. The support gives His Majesty the illusion that he is going to deal with the Rusty Nobles.
So they must be tough. The establishment of the Knights is a sign of their toughness.
But it gives me the feeling that they are tough. It’s a bit excessive, and it seems like someone is deliberately taking this opportunity to push it forward.”
Melis said: "Although I don't quite understand, I also feel that the Rust Nobles have gone too far." The forces are manipulating. Your Majesty's permission for the Rusty Nobles to establish the Heavy Knights this time seems to be a compromise. People who are already ready to make moves will definitely be unable to restrain themselves from taking action. "
The opponent's move does work. The wonderful.
If Emperor Bradley does not allow the Rust Nobles to establish the Knights, the Rust Nobles will definitely do something drastic with further instigation, which will trigger an uncontrollable turmoil.
If Emperor Bradley allows the establishment of the Knights, it will give a signal of weakness to the outside world, and the conflicts that he suppressed before will definitely rebound.
Melis said worriedly: "Yes! Your Majesty should not agree."
"But he has no other choice. Without knowing who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor, indiscriminate killing will only end." Falling into the trap of the traitor. Although giving in will give the traitor a win, it will also give him a chance to fight back. "
"What should we do next? With the power of independent investigation, they will definitely cause trouble for us."
Helot said: "I don't think there is any need to take any action! Let's see what these rust nobles will investigate first. ”
“Isn’t it investigating the cause of Earl Secombe’s death? ”
"Investigating the cause of Earl Sekom's death will not be beneficial to the Rust Nobles. But with the excuse of investigating the cause of Earl Sekom's death, they will definitely make profits in the name of the investigation."
Merry Si Ming realized: "You mean, the Rust Nobles will cause trouble for the Tomorrow Group?"
Helot squinted his eyes and said: "Their status will be stable only after they take down the Tomorrow Group!"< br>
I originally thought that killing Earl Secombe would temporarily solve the crisis of Tomorrow Group, but now it seems that I was too optimistic!
