Chapter 303 Next Action
Kara Dena stood in front of the window, staring at the beautiful, shining golden imperial capital of Suzal.
But at this moment, the sorceress' thoughts drifted to the distant southern sea.
She still remembered that the sun was shining on the blue water, with a fishy smell coming towards her face, there was no cloud in the sky, and the huge blue dragon fleet was moving slowly to block the sunlight in the sky. , could vaguely see a few wisps of smoke rising from the harbor city, and could vaguely hear scolding and wailing from a distance.
The war is over.
After almost half a year of turmoil, the Kingdom of Cormyr has experienced a series of disasters such as the Dragon Rebellion, the Orc War, and the rebel army. Finally, when late autumn is coming to an end and the breath of winter is coming, it seems that those withered and fallen Like the dead leaves on the ground, it completely subsided.
What impressed Carla Dena was naturally the war she personally participated in, a war to quell the independence of the rebel Prince Serant, which seemed like a farce.
Now, this farce has finally come to an end.
After Brian killed all the core members of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council in Masamba in the secret room, they finally collapsed completely. After losing their backbone, the rebel army was completely in a panic and didn't know what to do.
Civil strife also began to emerge at this time.
After the Royal Fleet sealed off the southern seaport, the entire southern region was almost completely paralyzed, and some nobles who secretly defected finally felt unprecedented fear and pressure.
After all, the leader of the rebel army, Sairante, was dead, and was beheaded by the regent himself. He walked easily, shook his hands, and went on the road alone. Anyway, he was spared from being hanged in Suzar destiny.
But others did not have such good luck, the southern harbor was blocked, and no ships could enter or leave.
Huailun City and Twilight City, which were still stubbornly resisting until now, were completely surrounded by troops from the northern and eastern borders.
For a while, the remaining core members of the rebel army were panic-stricken, and there was no way out for defending. The appearance of the Blue Dragon Fleet also indicated that they hoped that the Dragon Coast could send someone to help them, or that the possibility of escaping was completely lost.
So now they either choose to surrender, or run desperately to the east of the Great Swamp—Guangze, where the lizardmen live, or cross the boundary line of Thunder Peak and enter the territory of the Kingdom of Sembia.
But for these remaining members, all three options are dead ends.
Because with the recovery of Mashanbai, any members of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council were brutally suppressed by the Purple Dragon Knights, and even the Temple of Wealth, which sheltered them, added a raging fire to suppress the rebels.
Until this moment, all the surviving rebels, even the nobles and commoners of the entire kingdom, finally realized that the newly appointed steel regent, the little princess Hesaiah of the Obaiszil family, was incapable of handling this matter. , How cruel and merciless it is.
In this regard, it is completely impossible to see that she should be a kind, fair and honorable regent standing under the banner of Zilong.
Even after the counter-insurgency ended, many people's evaluation of Hesaiah has begun to appear the word 'tyrant', which is unfamiliar in the history of Cormyr.
Because she will take an iron fist and bloody suppression against anyone who dares to resist her, just like steel, ruthless.
That's why these rebels defending Huailun City and Twilight City would rather grit their teeth and struggle to the death than give up.
They knew that once they surrendered, the only way to wait for them was to go to the gallows in the imperial capital of Susar.
Obviously, they are self-aware of their crimes.
Of course, Hesaiah will not "slash all the family members" like some ancient kings, but she will also not "only arrest the principal offender, not the accomplice".
Take it easy, there is something for everyone.
Because of their understanding of the regent, the remaining core members of the rebel army would not agree to surrender even if they were killed.
But the other two options are still a dead end for them.
Guangze is a place where order has not yet been shrouded, and the same is true for the cold-blooded lizardmen race there. They are barbaric and cruel. They only worship power and blood sacrifices, and they don't care about anything else.
No matter how high your status or wealth in Cormyr is, it is meaningless to them, not to mention that the power of order there is very weak, just like Mokou Town in the north, once it is close to the Enook Desert, The order of the Goblin Borderlands and the Far Sea Swamp began to become extremely unstable.
Those places where order has not yet been shrouded are even more terrifying. It is simply impossible for ordinary people to survive in such places.
And the Kingdom of Sambia is not a good choice.
As we all know, with the fall of the capital of Sembia, after Mirabetta, the female general, came to power, it was about to become a kingdom of undead and ghosts.
What made the rebels even more desperate was that their leader, Prince Serant, had negotiated with Prince Shadow to jointly attack the Kingdom of Cormyr and carve up the territory together.
Prince Yinhun even personally assured them that the Floating Void City has been repaired. Once you attack Suzar City, you will immediately drive the Floating Void City to attack Mokou Town, Tiffantun and Araby City in the north of Cormyr, and the female commander The Sembian army will also cooperate with them, starting from Thunder Peak, invading Thunderstone Fort and many other areas.
But in this war, their so-called reinforcements did not move at all. What is even more funny is that Prince Serant and the naval army from Ximen agreed to arrive under the city wall of Susa within seven days.
As a result, the army set out from Ma Shanbai and only marched for two hours before being wiped out by the troops that arrived in an instant through the large teleportation circle one by one, and took Ma Shanbai.
The naval fleet in Ximen and Weihong sea area was directly destroyed by a meteorite that fell from the sky.
If they dared to flee to the territory of the 'allies' ghost people, they would probably be greeted by either becoming ghosts, or being slaves first, and then waiting to become ghosts. For the case, the difference is not much - because they have no possibility of appeal at all.
Therefore, at the moment they can only procrastinate, and they can procrastinate for a day.
But they forgot one thing.
That is, people's nature is selfish. They can let themselves live and die for one more day without caring about the lives of others, and other people will naturally not care about their lives for their own lives.
In this rebel army composed of businessmen and southern aristocrats, the core members are a minority after all, most of them are selfish and unwilling to accompany them to die.
When Prince Serant was still there, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of the bewitching of Bann Church and the devil.
But now, Prince Serrant and other core members were killed, and these people suddenly became tough. They even felt that the death of Prince Serrant meant that all this was completely over.
They have no hope of winning. If they don't choose to surrender now, then there is really only a dead end.
Because of this, in the end, civil strife broke out within the rebel army.
Just as Brian explained to them why they were not in a hurry to recover Huailun City and Twilight City.
"A 'small core of stubborn resistance' is impossible to play any role in front of 'a vast ocean of people'."
Not only that, those guys who 'sold teammates' even made their own claims to release the purple dragon knight and battle mage who were originally detained by the rebel army.
Until this time, the so-called southern independence by the merchant guild and most of the southern nobles had come to an end.
What follows is nothing to say at all.
The southern army stationed in Twilight City became confused when they heard the news of Prince Serrant's death. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Eastern Army suddenly bypassed Twilight City from behind and cut off their escape route again. It also made the rebels completely vulnerable.
After failing to break out of the siege three times in a row, the defenders of Twilight City announced their surrender, and then the king's army raised its flag and marched south. The exhausted rebel army, this time, did not even make a symbolic resistance, and directly surrendered .
Kara Dena still remembers what she saw when she walked into Twilight City in the southern harbor.
She had also been to this southern seaport leading to the Sea of Falling Stars before. At that time, in Kala Dena's impression, it was a clean, tidy, and beautiful city.
The pedestrians on the street are dressed in bright clothes, speak in a low voice, and are polite. They raise their heads proudly, as if they are full of endless hope for tomorrow and the future.
It has to be said that those southerners at that time were indeed very qualified to despise those northerners who came from the bitter cold in the north, wore clothes made of rough fur, and spoke loudly and rough.
But this time, what she saw was completely different.
The originally clean and tidy streets became filthy, with human and animal corpses everywhere, and the stench of corpses came from the streets and alleys. Even by the beautiful, blue bay, many people could be seen swollen with blisters. corpse.
And those nobles and wealthy merchants who used to be well-dressed in the past are now in ragged clothes, yellow and emaciated, hiding in their homes, secretly watching the royalist army enter their city through the cracks in the door, and those originally neat and beautiful houses, but also because of No one took care of it, and the previous riots made an originally beautiful city look like a den of beggars.
What a tragedy.
Thinking of this, Karadena closed her eyes and cleared out the unpleasant scenes in her mind. If it was her teacher Sandra Cote, maybe she would sympathize with those poor people.
But Kala Dena will not, she does not feel that those people deserve sympathy, this is their choice, and they have paid a price for it, as for whether the price is a bit high, then it is not what Kala Dena needs to pay attention to within range.
After that, Hesaiah also showed a vigorous side.
This made Kaladna seriously suspect that all recent actions of her good sister were secretly instructed by Brian, the young Lord Protector.
After all, she looks like a different person. It is true that love can make people go to the head.
In just two days, Hesaiah arrested all the remaining core figures of the rebel army and put them in the dungeon, waiting for trial and execution.
What shocked the entire kingdom even more was that these figures included many powerful and powerful nobles in the city of Susa.
This made most people realize that it is no wonder that the rebel army of Prince Serrant dared to attack the Imperial City of Susar with full confidence. It turned out that he had long been in collusion with various forces in the city.
Once soldiers approach the city, these people will cooperate from the inside out.
All of these big figures are one of Brian's tiefling subordinates, and they obtained the death list through the soul spar of the pit demon.
Naturally, a massacre was unavoidable. Nearly 500 people in the imperial city of Susar were implicated, and hundreds of noble heads fell to the ground.
In addition, facing these rebels this time, Hesaiah's punishment can be described as extremely severe.
With the cooperation of the Temple of Wealth, she confiscated the properties of all members of the rebel army and the wealth stored in the Temple, and at the same time returned them to civilian status.
Not only that, except for those wretches who are determined to be hanged, other people will also be punished to varying degrees. Some people will be punished for their merits and demerits, and the punishment will be lighter, while others will be heavier.
Of course, this weight is only relative.
For the rebels, Hesaiah's move was not vicious enough.
Because almost all the people who participated in the rebellion this time were nobles and businessmen, and they all had large properties and wealth in the south.
Otherwise, these people would not have the guts to fight against the royal party under the leadership of Prince Serant.
You know, although Cormyr has experienced the dragon madness and the orc rebellion successively, even the king died in battle, but no one dares to deny that this kingdom is still one of the most powerful kingdoms in the entire continent.
Cormyr's War Mage and the Purple Dragon Legion are still the most famous troops on the mainland.
It can be seen from the number of war mages and purple dragon knights who turned back after the prince's rebellion this time.
And Hesaiah's actions have almost emptied the entire commercial and aristocratic circles in the south. For the rebel army, it has completely sucked their salary from the bottom of the pot.
Because this also means that they will never have enough energy and strength to compete with the royal party in the future.
If it were a different day, Hesaiah's approach would definitely cause opposition and protest from many people.
Because Hesaiah's approach is not just as simple as harvesting the foundation of the rebel party, so many industries and chambers of commerce are managed by someone, and now all of them have been confiscated by the royal party, which means that those People working for traitorous industries are also affected.
If it was normal, I am afraid they would have already started to protest.
But now, after Hesaiah made this decision, those southerners who were originally arrogant, like a defeated rooster, accepted this arrangement without saying a word.
They are like flowers in a greenhouse. Now, when Hesaiah broke the glass of the greenhouse, these pampered flowers were completely exposed to the wind and rain. After the baptism of the storm, these blooming flowers finally completely wilted up.
The harsh reality broke their romance about war and made them clearly understand that war is not just the glory and cry of freedom in their imagination, but the road of death and destruction.
And they chose such a path stupidly.
After the rebellion ended, with the help of the wealth confiscated from a large number of southern merchants and nobles, Hesaiah directly exempted the entire kingdom from taxes for one year. After the entire kingdom suffered many wars, the faces of the civilians who rebuilt their homes showed A smile looking forward to the future.
The most shocking thing is yet to come.
Hesaiah also established a reformist group represented by the Protector of the Country and the Royal Mages, and promulgated a series of reform policies to improve production and the wisdom of the masses.
For example, the territories confiscated from the southern nobles were not returned to the state or rewarded to other people with outstanding military exploits. Instead, most of the land was distributed equally to civilians or unemployed people, and even the refugees and slaves who fled here were given share, and support the Church of the Mother Earth, build a shrine, and let the priests encourage and help them how to produce and work.
The education of the common people is also given special attention. Based on the Church of the God of Knowledge, a large amount of money has been invested to try to establish free schools in various important towns.
The most important thing is that some easy-to-understand magic knowledge is added to the curriculum of the school, so that the children of ordinary people can gradually understand what magic is in the process of learning knowledge. Lili, open the door of mystery.
Kara Dena once traveled to the magical kingdom of Harua, so she naturally understands what Hesaiah's policies mean in the future.
However, these policies promulgated by Hesaiah are quite different from those of the Harua Kingdom.
"Cormyr is about to change." Kaladna couldn't help sighing secretly.
This is not the sigh of her alone, but the sigh of the whole kingdom, all nobles and commoners.
Especially the aristocratic group, the brutal suppression of the southern aristocrats this time, as well as the policies promulgated against the common people, seem to have made them feel like a fat pig. slaughter.
Although the Kingdom of Cormyr is a powerful and wealthy country of kindness, as a student of the royal mage, she has gone through many adventures on the mainland and even adventures in other worlds. Karadna has long seen through the secrets hidden behind this kind country.
From her point of view, the whole kingdom seems to have two systems, one is for the nobles, called insider knowledge, and the other is for commoners, called outsider knowledge.
The knowledge within the sect, represented by the aristocracy, teaches tricks, tricks, and methods, and trains shepherds. The other knowledge teaches fairness, justice, and etiquette, and trains sheep.
This system makes it difficult for the strata to flow between kingdoms unless there is a major turmoil, or someone gets ahead through the career path.
For nobles, mobilizing their interests is like killing their lives; for commoners, changing their concept of kindness and justice is like insulting them.
What's interesting is that the concept of the common people is precisely the source of the interests of the nobles.
So both sides are trying to defend the situation.
In the event of a disaster in the kingdom, the nobles paid for horses and equipment, while the common people needed a large number of people to join the army.
Therefore, this tentative reform, in Kaladna's view, is more like taking this opportunity to test the reaction of the noble class.
However, what made her feel unbelievable was that after the policy was promulgated, the first person to stand up to support it was the old prime minister, the second largest aristocratic force under the royal party after the power of Prince Sairant was eradicated. Fefaril, that is, the little king's grandfather.
The old prime minister not only supported the regent's decision, but also funded the establishment of a free school in the territory.
This unexpected move stunned most of the nobles who tried to oppose, and finally they could only nod reluctantly in agreement.
In the first confrontation between the royal family and the nobles, they were caught off guard and won a perfect victory.
As for what caused it, Kaladna, who has never interfered in politics, also heard an interesting rumor in the tavern.
It is said that the night before the regent promulgated the policy, the guardian of the country announced that Ryan went to the prime minister's house in person, drank tea for a while, and then left.
What happened during the tea drinking, I'm afraid only the person involved knows.
What's more interesting is that the reason why the Temple of Wealth fully supports the royal family in suppressing the southern nobles and businessmen is also because the young Lord Protector drank tea with the archbishop of the temple for a while.
No matter what ulterior secrets are hidden behind them, the facts are constantly proving that with the kingdom ushering in peace, the promulgation of new policies, and the rise of reformers, the world has finally realized that although Cormier once followed the dragon They passed away and died together, but now a more brilliant new Cormier has been handed over to them, so that they can go all out and work harder for a better tomorrow.
Hesaiah, the iron regent who some consider a 'tyrant', has won the heartfelt love of his people for this reason.
Her presence is like a gentle wind that washes away the grime, letting the radiance of hope and joy illuminate the eyes of those who see her.
Ellend Windfall, a young bard from Shenhai Town, even boldly described it in his collection of poems "Dragon's Dream":
It would be many years before the baby king, now a baby, would grow up and take the throne—long enough that perhaps Cormyr's enemies would find an opportunity to kill him.
But even if they do succeed, I imagine the kingdom will turn to Hisaiah and embrace her as our just queen.
In fact, the people will stand with her in all things, both out of love and because of the trust and hope we have placed in her.
It would be the darkest treason of all to hope that the baby king would be sick—and thus hope that he would never ascend the throne, so that Princess Hisaiah would rule us forever.
Therefore, I instead hope that his heart and character can be the same as his sister Hesaiah, and I hope that he can learn all the virtues from her, so that he can be like the current Princess Hesaiah, and become a princess worthy of the throne. King of matches.
If we have the same dreams - which we do so often and so elusively - may the gods have mercy on them and make them come true.
But Carla Dena knows that in this matter, only a few people understand that Cormyr's protector, Ryan, is the behind-the-scenes manipulator of this series of reforms.
It was he who single-handedly led this crumbling kingdom out of the darkness, and gradually moved towards the road of prosperity.
"Miss Karladna."
Just when Kaladna was in a daze, suddenly, a voice came from behind her, which made Kaladna quickly restrain her thoughts.
She turned around, and then saw her personal maid standing behind her, looking at her respectfully.
"It's almost time for the banquet..."
"I see, I'm going to change now."
After saying this, Kara Dena once again glanced at the quiet, peaceful and serene scenery of Suzal city outside the window.
In her sight, she saw a tall and straight oak tree in the dock area. Even though winter was approaching, this old tree, which lived longer than the kingdom of Cormyr, was still lush and evergreen all year round.
She vaguely remembered that there was a hotel in the oak tree.
This is a hotel opened by an ancient green dragon who believes in the god of nature, Sivanus, also known as the 'Last Home Hotel'.
She also remembered that the innkeeper was a fat woman named Holly Rosely who liked to smoke a pipe day and night, who seemed to always have a smile on her face, and who often brought her pastries.
Her cake was smeared with softened rose applesauce and garnished with elderberry preserves and chokeberry jam.
It's just that Karladna was afraid that she would get angry at ignorant adventurers and noisy guests, because when she got angry, she felt that her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up.
Regrettably, when she returned to the city of Suzal again, the final destination hotel really became the final destination.
"How...how should I choose?"
She muttered to herself, subconsciously opened her sleeves, and looked at a purple lily flower that was gradually revealed on her fair skin and located in the middle of a pair of blood-red wings.
In a trance, the purple lilies on the skin seemed to be gradually blooming with the slight trembling of the wings, exuding an attractive luster.
The sorceress stared intently at the mysterious shiny emblem, sighed long and long, turned around without the slightest hesitation, and walked into the room.
…………
In the city of Suzal, the 'Crown Palace' hidden in the Royal Library is undoubtedly the place with the richest mysteries in the Kingdom of Cormyr.
In the game world, Brian has no chance to be here.
"Buzz!"
When he came to a mage statue deep in the library, he took out the medal that symbolized his identity and placed it on the palm of the statue, and a void rift suddenly appeared.
A whirlwind.
Brian came to the 'Crown Palace' hidden in a small demiplane through the teleportation circle deep in the library.
In the garden where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, a tall steel golem 'Kaka' turned its head and said in a cold mechanical voice: "Welcome Lord Protector, do you need to lead the way?"
"no need."
As a frequent visitor here, Brian has long been familiar with the 'Crown Palace', so naturally he doesn't need guidance.
He found the reference room with ease, looking for the knowledge he wanted.
The purpose of his coming here is mainly to find information about "Black Chronicle" and "One Night with Thousand Petals".
There are very few people who are qualified to come here to read the information, so it seems very quiet.
Time passed bit by bit as Brian rummaged through the materials.
When the crown hall at night became brightly lit, Brian was still standing in front of the table, staring at the scrolls laid out on the table, his brows furrowed deeply.
According to the information he found, 1000 years ago was the year when the tomb was destroyed.
A dark soothsayer of Myth Drannor's elven mage organization "Tower of Windsong" discovered a "Black Forbidden Book", and wrote the "Black Chronicle" in this prophecy.
This elven lunatic named Ogasila, based on the cursed original text in the "Black Forbidden Book", completed a book called "A Night with a Thousand Petals".
The book revealed the secrets of the goddess Shar, but unfortunately, both documents were stolen by Shar's followers and lost for centuries.
The reason why Bryan searched for this information was mainly because he knew that in the game world, the capital of Sembia and Tivanton in Cormyr were destroyed by a huge dark ritual with the help of the dark energy of "One Night Thousand Petals" .
"Since we can't find any detailed information on how to decipher "A Thousand Petals in One Night", the best way is to go to Guangze in person." Brian put all the information on the table back in place and muttered to himself.
There were few readers outside the hall at night, and the atmosphere was quiet. He got up from his chair, folded his arms and looked at the silver moon hanging outside the window, sorting out his thoughts.
Right now, the civil strife in the Kingdom of Cormyr has been completely over, and under his tentative policies, it is flourishing towards the Magic Kingdom.
Be prepared for danger.
Brian immediately thought of the biggest threat he faced: the city of ghosts.
If Shar, the lost lady, wants to tear the magic net apart, she must sacrifice the capital of Sambia and the city of Tivanton, which are located at the nodes of the magic net.
Now, under his strict defense, it is impossible to give them a chance.
But as the saying goes, 'only a thousand days to be a thief, then there is a thousand days to prevent a thief'.
Therefore, he planned to completely solve the hidden danger of the magic net being torn from the root.
In this case, he must go to Guangze, because it is connected to the Shadow Plane and is the node of the Shadow Demon Network where huge dark rituals are held.
As long as this node is destroyed, the danger of the magic net being torn apart can be prevented once and for all.
Having made his decision, he left the Crown Hall.
Back in the bedroom of the royal palace, when Brian opened the door, what he saw was a silver brilliance.
There is only a faint light white magic light beside the bed in the room. The stars and moonlight outside the window pass through the floor-to-ceiling windows and open curtains, spreading silver frost in the dark room.
In the silver-white light, the queen regent who seemed to be waiting for Brian was standing there, casting her gaze over.
Even though Brian and Hesaiah have been together for a long time, after seeing the condescending majesty she unconsciously cultivated among the many ministers, seeing her rare attire at this moment actually made him feel a little nervous. An amazing feeling.
Until now, Brian realized that Sisaiah was still a sword mage, and had been baptized by the blood of Elling many times, which made her look as youthful and beautiful as a girl. A plain white and elegant suspender petticoat, It made her look even more elegant and demure.
In addition to temperament and personality, she also has a maturity that does not match her face.
"You promised to stay with me tonight, why did you come so late." A gust of fragrant wind came, and Hesaiah leaned in front of him, asking with a slightly resentful look in his eyes.
Brian gently embraced the girl's waist, kissed her seductive pink lips softly, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was looking up some information in the 'Crown Palace', and I forgot the time."
From the time he came to Suzar to the end of the war, he had been busy with the internal reforms of the kingdom. Until now, he finally took time to spend alone with her.
"Oh, right."
He sat on the chair, took out a sheepskin scroll, spread it out, and placed it flat on the table, and said to Hesaiah beside him, "Put this emblem away, and if you have time, help me investigate a person." .”
On the scroll is a picture of a purple lily blooming between a pair of blood-red wings.
"Investigate who?" Hisaiah looked at the scroll curiously.
"Help me investigate whether there is such a pattern on Kala Dena's skin." Brian pondered for a moment, and finally chose to speak out.
He also found this emblem in the Crown Hall, and it is a mysterious organization of a devil lord in Baator Hell.
According to his constant recollection of the scene of fighting with Karadena, he gradually doubted the identity of this female sorceress who mastered native magic, which might be extraordinary.
Therefore, in order to prevent accidents from happening, he still chose to do more.
If he really guessed it, then the future about the Zariel incident will be a lot of fun.
Originally, it was just a matter of two devils competing for the Lord of Avernas, but it is very likely to evolve into a 'liquidation' event that made the whole hell turbulent, no less than what happened in Bator Hell.
"Impossible." Hesaiah thought carefully for a moment and said:
"I took a shower with her yesterday morning when I was practicing swordplay, and I didn't see this special emblem on her body."
"That may be my overthinking." Hearing Hesaiah's answer, Brian suddenly realized something, and then laughed.
He finally remembered that this pattern would never reveal itself unless its owner wanted to, unless...
Forget it, he felt that it was not good to discuss this issue in this atmosphere.
"How about this?" He thought for a moment, then looked at the girl standing beside him, "I happen to lack a master alchemist who is good at making magic equipment, let her work in my half-plane for a while, you see how about?"
Hesaiah was startled, and looked at him suspiciously, as if he felt that he was planning some bad idea.
However, when she met Brian's bright and clear eyes, she automatically chose to believe his words, "No problem, I will arrange it for you, but I don't know if Kaladna agrees."
She would agree, Brian thought, but he had already sensed that the sorceress was very interested in his own fire, and she was not afraid of taking the bait herself.
For such a dangerous person with uncertain identity, it is more reassuring to let her stay by his side.
"Brian, what do you think is wrong with her?" Hesaiah hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.
"This matter...how should I say it? I don't know for the time being. I just rely on my own speculation to get the result." Brian scratched his head in distress, and felt the silky and delicate touch with his other hand. Said in a too sure tone, "Of course, I also hope that she has no problems."
"So, are you planning to go back tomorrow?" Sisaiah leaned on his lap and asked.
"That's right, I was going to tell you about it." Brian reached out and stroked her loose hair, his expression clearly showing a relieved expression, "Tomorrow, the mission from Harua will arrive Mokou Town, I will go back and discuss future cooperation with them in person.”
This news was delivered to him by Myrcella this morning, and after receiving the news, a stone in his heart was finally lifted.
With the help of the Harua mage group, his winning rate against the floating city of Sacross is at least about [-]% higher.
Next, he can go to Guangze with peace of mind and destroy the Shadow Demon Network node.
"Then tonight, are you..." The queen regent suddenly looked like a shy girl, staring at Brian with a slightly blurred eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Dear queen, you have already stood in front of me like a delicious pony, ready to be enjoyed by me, do you think I will refuse?" Brian chuckled lightly and said in a teasing tone.
Deep darkness enveloped everything.
The brilliance of the city of Susar emerged from the window, making the originally dark room flash with some bright colors, and under the faint brilliance, the two figures were clinging to each other.
...The episode has been released...
(End of this chapter)
Kara Dena stood in front of the window, staring at the beautiful, shining golden imperial capital of Suzal.
But at this moment, the sorceress' thoughts drifted to the distant southern sea.
She still remembered that the sun was shining on the blue water, with a fishy smell coming towards her face, there was no cloud in the sky, and the huge blue dragon fleet was moving slowly to block the sunlight in the sky. , could vaguely see a few wisps of smoke rising from the harbor city, and could vaguely hear scolding and wailing from a distance.
The war is over.
After almost half a year of turmoil, the Kingdom of Cormyr has experienced a series of disasters such as the Dragon Rebellion, the Orc War, and the rebel army. Finally, when late autumn is coming to an end and the breath of winter is coming, it seems that those withered and fallen Like the dead leaves on the ground, it completely subsided.
What impressed Carla Dena was naturally the war she personally participated in, a war to quell the independence of the rebel Prince Serant, which seemed like a farce.
Now, this farce has finally come to an end.
After Brian killed all the core members of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council in Masamba in the secret room, they finally collapsed completely. After losing their backbone, the rebel army was completely in a panic and didn't know what to do.
Civil strife also began to emerge at this time.
After the Royal Fleet sealed off the southern seaport, the entire southern region was almost completely paralyzed, and some nobles who secretly defected finally felt unprecedented fear and pressure.
After all, the leader of the rebel army, Sairante, was dead, and was beheaded by the regent himself. He walked easily, shook his hands, and went on the road alone. Anyway, he was spared from being hanged in Suzar destiny.
But others did not have such good luck, the southern harbor was blocked, and no ships could enter or leave.
Huailun City and Twilight City, which were still stubbornly resisting until now, were completely surrounded by troops from the northern and eastern borders.
For a while, the remaining core members of the rebel army were panic-stricken, and there was no way out for defending. The appearance of the Blue Dragon Fleet also indicated that they hoped that the Dragon Coast could send someone to help them, or that the possibility of escaping was completely lost.
So now they either choose to surrender, or run desperately to the east of the Great Swamp—Guangze, where the lizardmen live, or cross the boundary line of Thunder Peak and enter the territory of the Kingdom of Sembia.
But for these remaining members, all three options are dead ends.
Because with the recovery of Mashanbai, any members of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council were brutally suppressed by the Purple Dragon Knights, and even the Temple of Wealth, which sheltered them, added a raging fire to suppress the rebels.
Until this moment, all the surviving rebels, even the nobles and commoners of the entire kingdom, finally realized that the newly appointed steel regent, the little princess Hesaiah of the Obaiszil family, was incapable of handling this matter. , How cruel and merciless it is.
In this regard, it is completely impossible to see that she should be a kind, fair and honorable regent standing under the banner of Zilong.
Even after the counter-insurgency ended, many people's evaluation of Hesaiah has begun to appear the word 'tyrant', which is unfamiliar in the history of Cormyr.
Because she will take an iron fist and bloody suppression against anyone who dares to resist her, just like steel, ruthless.
That's why these rebels defending Huailun City and Twilight City would rather grit their teeth and struggle to the death than give up.
They knew that once they surrendered, the only way to wait for them was to go to the gallows in the imperial capital of Susar.
Obviously, they are self-aware of their crimes.
Of course, Hesaiah will not "slash all the family members" like some ancient kings, but she will also not "only arrest the principal offender, not the accomplice".
Take it easy, there is something for everyone.
Because of their understanding of the regent, the remaining core members of the rebel army would not agree to surrender even if they were killed.
But the other two options are still a dead end for them.
Guangze is a place where order has not yet been shrouded, and the same is true for the cold-blooded lizardmen race there. They are barbaric and cruel. They only worship power and blood sacrifices, and they don't care about anything else.
No matter how high your status or wealth in Cormyr is, it is meaningless to them, not to mention that the power of order there is very weak, just like Mokou Town in the north, once it is close to the Enook Desert, The order of the Goblin Borderlands and the Far Sea Swamp began to become extremely unstable.
Those places where order has not yet been shrouded are even more terrifying. It is simply impossible for ordinary people to survive in such places.
And the Kingdom of Sambia is not a good choice.
As we all know, with the fall of the capital of Sembia, after Mirabetta, the female general, came to power, it was about to become a kingdom of undead and ghosts.
What made the rebels even more desperate was that their leader, Prince Serant, had negotiated with Prince Shadow to jointly attack the Kingdom of Cormyr and carve up the territory together.
Prince Yinhun even personally assured them that the Floating Void City has been repaired. Once you attack Suzar City, you will immediately drive the Floating Void City to attack Mokou Town, Tiffantun and Araby City in the north of Cormyr, and the female commander The Sembian army will also cooperate with them, starting from Thunder Peak, invading Thunderstone Fort and many other areas.
But in this war, their so-called reinforcements did not move at all. What is even more funny is that Prince Serant and the naval army from Ximen agreed to arrive under the city wall of Susa within seven days.
As a result, the army set out from Ma Shanbai and only marched for two hours before being wiped out by the troops that arrived in an instant through the large teleportation circle one by one, and took Ma Shanbai.
The naval fleet in Ximen and Weihong sea area was directly destroyed by a meteorite that fell from the sky.
If they dared to flee to the territory of the 'allies' ghost people, they would probably be greeted by either becoming ghosts, or being slaves first, and then waiting to become ghosts. For the case, the difference is not much - because they have no possibility of appeal at all.
Therefore, at the moment they can only procrastinate, and they can procrastinate for a day.
But they forgot one thing.
That is, people's nature is selfish. They can let themselves live and die for one more day without caring about the lives of others, and other people will naturally not care about their lives for their own lives.
In this rebel army composed of businessmen and southern aristocrats, the core members are a minority after all, most of them are selfish and unwilling to accompany them to die.
When Prince Serant was still there, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of the bewitching of Bann Church and the devil.
But now, Prince Serrant and other core members were killed, and these people suddenly became tough. They even felt that the death of Prince Serrant meant that all this was completely over.
They have no hope of winning. If they don't choose to surrender now, then there is really only a dead end.
Because of this, in the end, civil strife broke out within the rebel army.
Just as Brian explained to them why they were not in a hurry to recover Huailun City and Twilight City.
"A 'small core of stubborn resistance' is impossible to play any role in front of 'a vast ocean of people'."
Not only that, those guys who 'sold teammates' even made their own claims to release the purple dragon knight and battle mage who were originally detained by the rebel army.
Until this time, the so-called southern independence by the merchant guild and most of the southern nobles had come to an end.
What follows is nothing to say at all.
The southern army stationed in Twilight City became confused when they heard the news of Prince Serrant's death. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Eastern Army suddenly bypassed Twilight City from behind and cut off their escape route again. It also made the rebels completely vulnerable.
After failing to break out of the siege three times in a row, the defenders of Twilight City announced their surrender, and then the king's army raised its flag and marched south. The exhausted rebel army, this time, did not even make a symbolic resistance, and directly surrendered .
Kara Dena still remembers what she saw when she walked into Twilight City in the southern harbor.
She had also been to this southern seaport leading to the Sea of Falling Stars before. At that time, in Kala Dena's impression, it was a clean, tidy, and beautiful city.
The pedestrians on the street are dressed in bright clothes, speak in a low voice, and are polite. They raise their heads proudly, as if they are full of endless hope for tomorrow and the future.
It has to be said that those southerners at that time were indeed very qualified to despise those northerners who came from the bitter cold in the north, wore clothes made of rough fur, and spoke loudly and rough.
But this time, what she saw was completely different.
The originally clean and tidy streets became filthy, with human and animal corpses everywhere, and the stench of corpses came from the streets and alleys. Even by the beautiful, blue bay, many people could be seen swollen with blisters. corpse.
And those nobles and wealthy merchants who used to be well-dressed in the past are now in ragged clothes, yellow and emaciated, hiding in their homes, secretly watching the royalist army enter their city through the cracks in the door, and those originally neat and beautiful houses, but also because of No one took care of it, and the previous riots made an originally beautiful city look like a den of beggars.
What a tragedy.
Thinking of this, Karadena closed her eyes and cleared out the unpleasant scenes in her mind. If it was her teacher Sandra Cote, maybe she would sympathize with those poor people.
But Kala Dena will not, she does not feel that those people deserve sympathy, this is their choice, and they have paid a price for it, as for whether the price is a bit high, then it is not what Kala Dena needs to pay attention to within range.
After that, Hesaiah also showed a vigorous side.
This made Kaladna seriously suspect that all recent actions of her good sister were secretly instructed by Brian, the young Lord Protector.
After all, she looks like a different person. It is true that love can make people go to the head.
In just two days, Hesaiah arrested all the remaining core figures of the rebel army and put them in the dungeon, waiting for trial and execution.
What shocked the entire kingdom even more was that these figures included many powerful and powerful nobles in the city of Susa.
This made most people realize that it is no wonder that the rebel army of Prince Serrant dared to attack the Imperial City of Susar with full confidence. It turned out that he had long been in collusion with various forces in the city.
Once soldiers approach the city, these people will cooperate from the inside out.
All of these big figures are one of Brian's tiefling subordinates, and they obtained the death list through the soul spar of the pit demon.
Naturally, a massacre was unavoidable. Nearly 500 people in the imperial city of Susar were implicated, and hundreds of noble heads fell to the ground.
In addition, facing these rebels this time, Hesaiah's punishment can be described as extremely severe.
With the cooperation of the Temple of Wealth, she confiscated the properties of all members of the rebel army and the wealth stored in the Temple, and at the same time returned them to civilian status.
Not only that, except for those wretches who are determined to be hanged, other people will also be punished to varying degrees. Some people will be punished for their merits and demerits, and the punishment will be lighter, while others will be heavier.
Of course, this weight is only relative.
For the rebels, Hesaiah's move was not vicious enough.
Because almost all the people who participated in the rebellion this time were nobles and businessmen, and they all had large properties and wealth in the south.
Otherwise, these people would not have the guts to fight against the royal party under the leadership of Prince Serant.
You know, although Cormyr has experienced the dragon madness and the orc rebellion successively, even the king died in battle, but no one dares to deny that this kingdom is still one of the most powerful kingdoms in the entire continent.
Cormyr's War Mage and the Purple Dragon Legion are still the most famous troops on the mainland.
It can be seen from the number of war mages and purple dragon knights who turned back after the prince's rebellion this time.
And Hesaiah's actions have almost emptied the entire commercial and aristocratic circles in the south. For the rebel army, it has completely sucked their salary from the bottom of the pot.
Because this also means that they will never have enough energy and strength to compete with the royal party in the future.
If it were a different day, Hesaiah's approach would definitely cause opposition and protest from many people.
Because Hesaiah's approach is not just as simple as harvesting the foundation of the rebel party, so many industries and chambers of commerce are managed by someone, and now all of them have been confiscated by the royal party, which means that those People working for traitorous industries are also affected.
If it was normal, I am afraid they would have already started to protest.
But now, after Hesaiah made this decision, those southerners who were originally arrogant, like a defeated rooster, accepted this arrangement without saying a word.
They are like flowers in a greenhouse. Now, when Hesaiah broke the glass of the greenhouse, these pampered flowers were completely exposed to the wind and rain. After the baptism of the storm, these blooming flowers finally completely wilted up.
The harsh reality broke their romance about war and made them clearly understand that war is not just the glory and cry of freedom in their imagination, but the road of death and destruction.
And they chose such a path stupidly.
After the rebellion ended, with the help of the wealth confiscated from a large number of southern merchants and nobles, Hesaiah directly exempted the entire kingdom from taxes for one year. After the entire kingdom suffered many wars, the faces of the civilians who rebuilt their homes showed A smile looking forward to the future.
The most shocking thing is yet to come.
Hesaiah also established a reformist group represented by the Protector of the Country and the Royal Mages, and promulgated a series of reform policies to improve production and the wisdom of the masses.
For example, the territories confiscated from the southern nobles were not returned to the state or rewarded to other people with outstanding military exploits. Instead, most of the land was distributed equally to civilians or unemployed people, and even the refugees and slaves who fled here were given share, and support the Church of the Mother Earth, build a shrine, and let the priests encourage and help them how to produce and work.
The education of the common people is also given special attention. Based on the Church of the God of Knowledge, a large amount of money has been invested to try to establish free schools in various important towns.
The most important thing is that some easy-to-understand magic knowledge is added to the curriculum of the school, so that the children of ordinary people can gradually understand what magic is in the process of learning knowledge. Lili, open the door of mystery.
Kara Dena once traveled to the magical kingdom of Harua, so she naturally understands what Hesaiah's policies mean in the future.
However, these policies promulgated by Hesaiah are quite different from those of the Harua Kingdom.
"Cormyr is about to change." Kaladna couldn't help sighing secretly.
This is not the sigh of her alone, but the sigh of the whole kingdom, all nobles and commoners.
Especially the aristocratic group, the brutal suppression of the southern aristocrats this time, as well as the policies promulgated against the common people, seem to have made them feel like a fat pig. slaughter.
Although the Kingdom of Cormyr is a powerful and wealthy country of kindness, as a student of the royal mage, she has gone through many adventures on the mainland and even adventures in other worlds. Karadna has long seen through the secrets hidden behind this kind country.
From her point of view, the whole kingdom seems to have two systems, one is for the nobles, called insider knowledge, and the other is for commoners, called outsider knowledge.
The knowledge within the sect, represented by the aristocracy, teaches tricks, tricks, and methods, and trains shepherds. The other knowledge teaches fairness, justice, and etiquette, and trains sheep.
This system makes it difficult for the strata to flow between kingdoms unless there is a major turmoil, or someone gets ahead through the career path.
For nobles, mobilizing their interests is like killing their lives; for commoners, changing their concept of kindness and justice is like insulting them.
What's interesting is that the concept of the common people is precisely the source of the interests of the nobles.
So both sides are trying to defend the situation.
In the event of a disaster in the kingdom, the nobles paid for horses and equipment, while the common people needed a large number of people to join the army.
Therefore, this tentative reform, in Kaladna's view, is more like taking this opportunity to test the reaction of the noble class.
However, what made her feel unbelievable was that after the policy was promulgated, the first person to stand up to support it was the old prime minister, the second largest aristocratic force under the royal party after the power of Prince Sairant was eradicated. Fefaril, that is, the little king's grandfather.
The old prime minister not only supported the regent's decision, but also funded the establishment of a free school in the territory.
This unexpected move stunned most of the nobles who tried to oppose, and finally they could only nod reluctantly in agreement.
In the first confrontation between the royal family and the nobles, they were caught off guard and won a perfect victory.
As for what caused it, Kaladna, who has never interfered in politics, also heard an interesting rumor in the tavern.
It is said that the night before the regent promulgated the policy, the guardian of the country announced that Ryan went to the prime minister's house in person, drank tea for a while, and then left.
What happened during the tea drinking, I'm afraid only the person involved knows.
What's more interesting is that the reason why the Temple of Wealth fully supports the royal family in suppressing the southern nobles and businessmen is also because the young Lord Protector drank tea with the archbishop of the temple for a while.
No matter what ulterior secrets are hidden behind them, the facts are constantly proving that with the kingdom ushering in peace, the promulgation of new policies, and the rise of reformers, the world has finally realized that although Cormier once followed the dragon They passed away and died together, but now a more brilliant new Cormier has been handed over to them, so that they can go all out and work harder for a better tomorrow.
Hesaiah, the iron regent who some consider a 'tyrant', has won the heartfelt love of his people for this reason.
Her presence is like a gentle wind that washes away the grime, letting the radiance of hope and joy illuminate the eyes of those who see her.
Ellend Windfall, a young bard from Shenhai Town, even boldly described it in his collection of poems "Dragon's Dream":
It would be many years before the baby king, now a baby, would grow up and take the throne—long enough that perhaps Cormyr's enemies would find an opportunity to kill him.
But even if they do succeed, I imagine the kingdom will turn to Hisaiah and embrace her as our just queen.
In fact, the people will stand with her in all things, both out of love and because of the trust and hope we have placed in her.
It would be the darkest treason of all to hope that the baby king would be sick—and thus hope that he would never ascend the throne, so that Princess Hisaiah would rule us forever.
Therefore, I instead hope that his heart and character can be the same as his sister Hesaiah, and I hope that he can learn all the virtues from her, so that he can be like the current Princess Hesaiah, and become a princess worthy of the throne. King of matches.
If we have the same dreams - which we do so often and so elusively - may the gods have mercy on them and make them come true.
But Carla Dena knows that in this matter, only a few people understand that Cormyr's protector, Ryan, is the behind-the-scenes manipulator of this series of reforms.
It was he who single-handedly led this crumbling kingdom out of the darkness, and gradually moved towards the road of prosperity.
"Miss Karladna."
Just when Kaladna was in a daze, suddenly, a voice came from behind her, which made Kaladna quickly restrain her thoughts.
She turned around, and then saw her personal maid standing behind her, looking at her respectfully.
"It's almost time for the banquet..."
"I see, I'm going to change now."
After saying this, Kara Dena once again glanced at the quiet, peaceful and serene scenery of Suzal city outside the window.
In her sight, she saw a tall and straight oak tree in the dock area. Even though winter was approaching, this old tree, which lived longer than the kingdom of Cormyr, was still lush and evergreen all year round.
She vaguely remembered that there was a hotel in the oak tree.
This is a hotel opened by an ancient green dragon who believes in the god of nature, Sivanus, also known as the 'Last Home Hotel'.
She also remembered that the innkeeper was a fat woman named Holly Rosely who liked to smoke a pipe day and night, who seemed to always have a smile on her face, and who often brought her pastries.
Her cake was smeared with softened rose applesauce and garnished with elderberry preserves and chokeberry jam.
It's just that Karladna was afraid that she would get angry at ignorant adventurers and noisy guests, because when she got angry, she felt that her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up.
Regrettably, when she returned to the city of Suzal again, the final destination hotel really became the final destination.
"How...how should I choose?"
She muttered to herself, subconsciously opened her sleeves, and looked at a purple lily flower that was gradually revealed on her fair skin and located in the middle of a pair of blood-red wings.
In a trance, the purple lilies on the skin seemed to be gradually blooming with the slight trembling of the wings, exuding an attractive luster.
The sorceress stared intently at the mysterious shiny emblem, sighed long and long, turned around without the slightest hesitation, and walked into the room.
…………
In the city of Suzal, the 'Crown Palace' hidden in the Royal Library is undoubtedly the place with the richest mysteries in the Kingdom of Cormyr.
In the game world, Brian has no chance to be here.
"Buzz!"
When he came to a mage statue deep in the library, he took out the medal that symbolized his identity and placed it on the palm of the statue, and a void rift suddenly appeared.
A whirlwind.
Brian came to the 'Crown Palace' hidden in a small demiplane through the teleportation circle deep in the library.
In the garden where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, a tall steel golem 'Kaka' turned its head and said in a cold mechanical voice: "Welcome Lord Protector, do you need to lead the way?"
"no need."
As a frequent visitor here, Brian has long been familiar with the 'Crown Palace', so naturally he doesn't need guidance.
He found the reference room with ease, looking for the knowledge he wanted.
The purpose of his coming here is mainly to find information about "Black Chronicle" and "One Night with Thousand Petals".
There are very few people who are qualified to come here to read the information, so it seems very quiet.
Time passed bit by bit as Brian rummaged through the materials.
When the crown hall at night became brightly lit, Brian was still standing in front of the table, staring at the scrolls laid out on the table, his brows furrowed deeply.
According to the information he found, 1000 years ago was the year when the tomb was destroyed.
A dark soothsayer of Myth Drannor's elven mage organization "Tower of Windsong" discovered a "Black Forbidden Book", and wrote the "Black Chronicle" in this prophecy.
This elven lunatic named Ogasila, based on the cursed original text in the "Black Forbidden Book", completed a book called "A Night with a Thousand Petals".
The book revealed the secrets of the goddess Shar, but unfortunately, both documents were stolen by Shar's followers and lost for centuries.
The reason why Bryan searched for this information was mainly because he knew that in the game world, the capital of Sembia and Tivanton in Cormyr were destroyed by a huge dark ritual with the help of the dark energy of "One Night Thousand Petals" .
"Since we can't find any detailed information on how to decipher "A Thousand Petals in One Night", the best way is to go to Guangze in person." Brian put all the information on the table back in place and muttered to himself.
There were few readers outside the hall at night, and the atmosphere was quiet. He got up from his chair, folded his arms and looked at the silver moon hanging outside the window, sorting out his thoughts.
Right now, the civil strife in the Kingdom of Cormyr has been completely over, and under his tentative policies, it is flourishing towards the Magic Kingdom.
Be prepared for danger.
Brian immediately thought of the biggest threat he faced: the city of ghosts.
If Shar, the lost lady, wants to tear the magic net apart, she must sacrifice the capital of Sambia and the city of Tivanton, which are located at the nodes of the magic net.
Now, under his strict defense, it is impossible to give them a chance.
But as the saying goes, 'only a thousand days to be a thief, then there is a thousand days to prevent a thief'.
Therefore, he planned to completely solve the hidden danger of the magic net being torn from the root.
In this case, he must go to Guangze, because it is connected to the Shadow Plane and is the node of the Shadow Demon Network where huge dark rituals are held.
As long as this node is destroyed, the danger of the magic net being torn apart can be prevented once and for all.
Having made his decision, he left the Crown Hall.
Back in the bedroom of the royal palace, when Brian opened the door, what he saw was a silver brilliance.
There is only a faint light white magic light beside the bed in the room. The stars and moonlight outside the window pass through the floor-to-ceiling windows and open curtains, spreading silver frost in the dark room.
In the silver-white light, the queen regent who seemed to be waiting for Brian was standing there, casting her gaze over.
Even though Brian and Hesaiah have been together for a long time, after seeing the condescending majesty she unconsciously cultivated among the many ministers, seeing her rare attire at this moment actually made him feel a little nervous. An amazing feeling.
Until now, Brian realized that Sisaiah was still a sword mage, and had been baptized by the blood of Elling many times, which made her look as youthful and beautiful as a girl. A plain white and elegant suspender petticoat, It made her look even more elegant and demure.
In addition to temperament and personality, she also has a maturity that does not match her face.
"You promised to stay with me tonight, why did you come so late." A gust of fragrant wind came, and Hesaiah leaned in front of him, asking with a slightly resentful look in his eyes.
Brian gently embraced the girl's waist, kissed her seductive pink lips softly, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was looking up some information in the 'Crown Palace', and I forgot the time."
From the time he came to Suzar to the end of the war, he had been busy with the internal reforms of the kingdom. Until now, he finally took time to spend alone with her.
"Oh, right."
He sat on the chair, took out a sheepskin scroll, spread it out, and placed it flat on the table, and said to Hesaiah beside him, "Put this emblem away, and if you have time, help me investigate a person." .”
On the scroll is a picture of a purple lily blooming between a pair of blood-red wings.
"Investigate who?" Hisaiah looked at the scroll curiously.
"Help me investigate whether there is such a pattern on Kala Dena's skin." Brian pondered for a moment, and finally chose to speak out.
He also found this emblem in the Crown Hall, and it is a mysterious organization of a devil lord in Baator Hell.
According to his constant recollection of the scene of fighting with Karadena, he gradually doubted the identity of this female sorceress who mastered native magic, which might be extraordinary.
Therefore, in order to prevent accidents from happening, he still chose to do more.
If he really guessed it, then the future about the Zariel incident will be a lot of fun.
Originally, it was just a matter of two devils competing for the Lord of Avernas, but it is very likely to evolve into a 'liquidation' event that made the whole hell turbulent, no less than what happened in Bator Hell.
"Impossible." Hesaiah thought carefully for a moment and said:
"I took a shower with her yesterday morning when I was practicing swordplay, and I didn't see this special emblem on her body."
"That may be my overthinking." Hearing Hesaiah's answer, Brian suddenly realized something, and then laughed.
He finally remembered that this pattern would never reveal itself unless its owner wanted to, unless...
Forget it, he felt that it was not good to discuss this issue in this atmosphere.
"How about this?" He thought for a moment, then looked at the girl standing beside him, "I happen to lack a master alchemist who is good at making magic equipment, let her work in my half-plane for a while, you see how about?"
Hesaiah was startled, and looked at him suspiciously, as if he felt that he was planning some bad idea.
However, when she met Brian's bright and clear eyes, she automatically chose to believe his words, "No problem, I will arrange it for you, but I don't know if Kaladna agrees."
She would agree, Brian thought, but he had already sensed that the sorceress was very interested in his own fire, and she was not afraid of taking the bait herself.
For such a dangerous person with uncertain identity, it is more reassuring to let her stay by his side.
"Brian, what do you think is wrong with her?" Hesaiah hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.
"This matter...how should I say it? I don't know for the time being. I just rely on my own speculation to get the result." Brian scratched his head in distress, and felt the silky and delicate touch with his other hand. Said in a too sure tone, "Of course, I also hope that she has no problems."
"So, are you planning to go back tomorrow?" Sisaiah leaned on his lap and asked.
"That's right, I was going to tell you about it." Brian reached out and stroked her loose hair, his expression clearly showing a relieved expression, "Tomorrow, the mission from Harua will arrive Mokou Town, I will go back and discuss future cooperation with them in person.”
This news was delivered to him by Myrcella this morning, and after receiving the news, a stone in his heart was finally lifted.
With the help of the Harua mage group, his winning rate against the floating city of Sacross is at least about [-]% higher.
Next, he can go to Guangze with peace of mind and destroy the Shadow Demon Network node.
"Then tonight, are you..." The queen regent suddenly looked like a shy girl, staring at Brian with a slightly blurred eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Dear queen, you have already stood in front of me like a delicious pony, ready to be enjoyed by me, do you think I will refuse?" Brian chuckled lightly and said in a teasing tone.
Deep darkness enveloped everything.
The brilliance of the city of Susar emerged from the window, making the originally dark room flash with some bright colors, and under the faint brilliance, the two figures were clinging to each other.
...The episode has been released...
