Chapter 425 Prepare for war
Terenas drank tea and said: "I think so too. This book is the most exciting of all the books related to the Blood Rebellion that I have read so far, so that I even Some believe it is the real history.”
Hearing that Terenas spoke so highly of this book, Herot became very interested: "Is it really as wonderful as you said?"
"You can take a look now, I have time to wait."
"Okay, I'm reading this book now. If you are sleepy, you can ask my servant to take you to rest."
Terenas replied: "I'll wait for you right here."
Helot opened the book and looked.
The first page is the oath sworn by the thirteen founding families in front of the first constitution of the empire.
Then, using the rapid decline of the Claude family as a wedge, the epic story full of betrayal and killing slowly unfolds.
The book does not describe much about the Claude family. After all, it was unable to participate in the war, but the author of the book described the former Claude family as extremely powerful. The reason why the Bloody Rebellion broke out was because the decline of the Claude family caused the founding dukes to lose their powerful check and balance on the Golden family...
Then in the second chapter, the protagonist of the novel appears.
He comes from a dark family and is the illegitimate son of the romantic Duke de Nacy.
The bloodline of the Dark Family is stealth, making members of the Denasi family natural assassins. Intelligence stealing, infiltration and destruction, and targeted assassinations are what they are good at.
As an illegitimate child, the protagonist's identity is not recognized by the Denaci family. Even after the Duchess knew of his existence, she sent people to hunt him down.
But like the protagonists of all novels, the protagonist does not die, but has various adventures in various adversities. He made many partners in adventure after adventure, and became stronger and stronger in danger after danger. Of course, this was all inseparable from the secret help of his duke father.
The novel takes the protagonist's growth as the background and tells the story of the growing conflict between the royal family and the nobility. The eleven founding Dukes gradually chose sides and established two opposing camps.
On the same day that the protagonist is accepted as a member of the Dark Family, war breaks out.
The protagonist also met the love of his life, a princess of the Golden Family, during the war. He is an assassin who makes the imperial army change their colors, and she is a brave and invincible general on the battlefield. They all love each other deeply, but family hatred makes them have to hide this love in their hearts.
In the end, the strength of the protagonist cannot change the fact that the noble army was defeated steadily. When the imperial army invaded the Denasi family castle, the princess wanted to let him escape privately, but the protagonist chose to live and die with the family in order not to implicate the princess.
The main character dies.
Soon after, the princess gave birth to a baby boy and secretly sent the child abroad before anyone else found out.
Helot turned the last page, and the rising sun shone in through the window.
Closing the book, Herot said: "A very wonderful novel."
Terenas, who had been dozing off, immediately woke up: "As a novel, it is indeed very exciting. But if someone takes it as real history, it will be a big trouble. After all, that period of history has passed for so long."
"Yes, history has passed, so some people will use history to make an issue."
Whether the protagonist of the novel is real or not cannot be verified. Even if the most authoritative historian in the empire says that the protagonist is fictional, people can still choose not to believe it.
If the protagonist is found to be real, since he has been accepted by Duke Denacy as a member of the Dark Family, then he has the legal right to inherit the dukedom. In the novel, there is also a description of the secret marriage between the protagonist and the princess, so the child that the princess hid from everyone and gave birth to for the protagonist will be the first successor of the Dark Family to survive that war.
This is to use a novel to write a biography of this dark family that slipped through the net!
Moreover, the position of the novel is obviously on the side of the noble army, and the imperial army is the treacherous villain...
Terenas said worriedly: "This book is now very popular. Even if the empire is fully banning its sale, ordinary people can still buy it easily. There are too many people holding this book, and it is impossible for the imperial military police to take it away." Catch everyone.
Today... no, His Majesty summoned me yesterday and gave me a good scolding, asking me to resolve the matter in the shortest possible time.
I have no choice but to come to you overnight. ”
Helot thought about countermeasures.
This is an almost unsolvable conspiracy. As long as the novel continues to sell well, the history in the novel can be used to replace the real history. Now that it has spread, the ban makes no sense. Instead, it will make people think that the story written in the novel is true, and the empire wants to erase that shameful history.
"Lift the ban first!"
Terenas said: "When I returned, I immediately ordered the lifting of the ban. What then?"
"Then? Get ready for war!"
Terenas' eyes widened: "I've been waiting for you all night, just waiting for you to give me a good idea. Your answer is too perfunctory!"
Helot opened the first page of the book, pointed to the oath on it and said: "None of us can know what happened in that period of history, but it is an indisputable fact that the Bradley family killed all their former brother families. . Even if we solve the impact of this book in a brilliant way, the torturer can write another book
What the empire is facing now is not an ordinary rebellion. The opponent's financial resources and power are definitely beyond our imagination. Since the executioners used the founding Duke family to unite people, they decided that they must move towards the goal step by step. Stagnation will cause them to collapse internally.
This war is inevitable. It is only a matter of time before it breaks out. It is better to prepare for the war early and find a way to win this war. ”
"Is it really impossible to save it?" Terenas knew that Helot was right, but he still wanted to get a "solution" from him.
Helot turned to the first chapter of the book, pointed to the content about the Claude family, and said: "The Claude family's excessive involvement in this fight will not do us any good, and your majesty should not want you to suffer too much." My influence. I can help you investigate the Tormentor, please don't drag the Claude family into the war.
It does no good to either party. ”
Terenas understood what Herot meant.
The Clairund family with their undead army is too powerful. When the empire was first established, both the Cloulund family and the Bradley family were supported by other families as candidates for the empire's emperor, but the Claulund family chose to give the crown to the Bradley family in the end.
Gold represents wealth and prosperity.
Later, the rapid decline of the Claude family did indeed make the royal family less checks and balances, allowing the empire to dare to kill the disobedient duke.
Now that the Clairund family has regained its lost power, it has made Emperor Bradley afraid. If Herot leads the undead army to participate in this civil war again, even if he supports the royal family, Emperor Bradley may not be able to sleep.
Anxiety and suspicion will eventually lead to bad consequences!
Only if the Claurend family does not show ambition, the empire can devote more energy to dealing with this crisis. At least until the victory is determined, they will not take action against the Claude family.
"Okay..." Terenas was a little helpless. He knew that Herot really had no interest in power, but others might not think so. "Just help me investigate the prisoner and notify me immediately if you have any news."
"Melise has been doing this forever."
Terenas knew that he had been perfunctory by Herot again, so he could only stand up and yawn: "I'm too sleepy. I'll go back to catch up on my sleep, and then go to the palace in the afternoon to be scolded."
Terenas left. Herot picked up "Blood Rose" and started reading it again.
From the contents of the book, it can be roughly judged that the extraordinary fourth-level duke among the executors should be of dark blood. This novel is to create a legal identity for him, so that when the war breaks out, he can carry the banner of the new aristocratic army.
It seems that wooing the Claude family is no longer the executioner's first option.
Their lack of cooperation and even repeated sabotage wore away their patience.
However, they still had a glimmer of hope for the Claude family. Instead of discrediting the Claude family in the book, they elevated the status of the Claude family.
It seems that as long as he does not clearly side with the Bradley family, he will still be one of the options for the executioner.
Helot was fascinated by the book, hoping to find more clues.
At noon, the housekeeper reported: "Admiral Melis is here."
"Bring her quickly!"
In order to fight against the remnants of the Deep Prison, Melis led the 13th Investigation Team across the empire. Herot often stayed in his original world, so the two missed many opportunities to meet.
Soon Melis walked in under the guidance of Kurt.
The two stood opposite each other, looking at each other intently.
Kurt wisely took all the servants away and closed the door.
"Are you okay?" Helot didn't know that the first words he said when he saw Melis turned out to be a very ordinary greeting.
Melis smiled and said: "I'm fine! How about you?"
"I'm fine too. Sit down and tell me your story..."
Melis sat down: "Before I tell my story, I have some good news for you."
Herot asked with great interest: "What's the good news?"
"The Executioner has a large genetic mutant breeding base in the Comosa Islands."
Helot has always guessed that there is a base for the executioners in the Comosa Islands. This time Melis' news confirmed this guess: "How did you know?"
Melis replied: "I encountered the Sunken King when I was tracing the deep prison. Although he escaped, I found some information from his hiding place that I had not had time to destroy. The Sunken King was on the Comoso Islands while he was recuperating. , I also found a key.”
Melis took out a key and threw it to Helot.
Helot caught it. There was a sign hanging on the key, with several numbers and a pattern of unknown meaning on it.
Herot looked at the pattern carefully: "It doesn't look like a magic rune."
Melis laughed: "Of course this is not a magic rune. It is the logo of a well-known resort in the Comos Islands. The number on it is probably the room number."
Helot couldn't help but laugh too. When he saw some special symbols, he always unconsciously associated them with magic.
"Have you checked this resort?"
"My next stop is the Comosa Islands. I came here to ask you, are you willing to come with me? I need a bodyguard who can fight in groups."
The Comosa Islands are far away from the mainland of the empire and belong to a semi-autonomous territory. The governor of the Comosa Islands appointed by the empire is only the highest official in name. The actual person in charge of the Comosa Islands is the Comos Biological Research Association.
The members of the Comoso Biological Research Association are almost all large biomedical companies, and they own most of the islands. The job content is to study special organisms on the archipelago, grow rare medicinal materials, develop new drugs, and create genetically modified humans.
In order to protect their interests in the archipelago, the Comoso Biological Research Association has its own army and even a sizable private navy.
Many of the large biopharmaceutical companies also have direct mercenaries.
Although the empire has a royal navy at the command of the governor in the Comosa Islands, the overall strength is far from the Comosa Biological Research Agreement, so they stay in the port most of the time. As long as these biomedical companies pay their fair share of taxes, the Governor doesn't care what they do on the islands.
There must be a large biopharmaceutical company behind the prisoner, and it must be very dangerous to investigate the prisoner in the Comoso Islands.
It was impossible for Melis to lead an army to the Comosa Islands, so she had to find one person who could be the leader of an army.
Helot must go there: "I have long heard that the Comos Islands have beautiful scenery and there are many very special magical creatures there. I should give myself a long vacation and take a casual trip. ”
Helot is willing to accompany her to the Comosa Islands, and Melis is very happy: "I will arrange an airship to the Comosa Islands now."
"Wait a minute." Helot stopped Melis: "The two of us can't really go to the Comosa Islands in the name of vacation. We are simply telling the torturers that we are here for you."
"I think no matter what name we go under, the torturers will definitely be alert."
Herot said: "It is better to have a reason than no reason. It is better to be invited..."
Melis knew Herot very well: "It seems you have a solution."
"Of course! I'll introduce you to a friend."
Helot snapped his fingers, and Mainur, the head maid, opened the door and walked in: "Master, do you have any orders?"
"Go to Master Milo and ask him to bring the information on cultivating bread mushrooms."
Melis said: "I know Master Milo, but what are bread mushrooms?"
"If you know him, don't ask me to introduce him. As for what bread mushrooms are, I'll tell you when he comes."
Milo lived in the manor as Herot's guest, and there was also a laboratory of his own.
Therefore, not long after, Master Milo and his disciple Stephen were brought in by Mayinur.
When Master Milo saw Melis, he immediately saluted: "Dear Princess, I'm glad to see you."
Melis: "There is no princess here, just call me Melis."
Helot also said: "Yes, there are no princesses here, they are all friends. Didn't you say some time ago... that the Sea Island Group invited me to their headquarters in the Comosa Islands to talk about the cultivation of bread mushrooms?"
