Chapter 1209

"What kind of man can get into your eyes? My daughter, tell me your requirements." The man felt a little headache and put down the pen in his hand.

"The most basic point is that my future partner can't be inferior to me in strength, at least better than me in the same age group!"

Ariana put forward a very reasonable condition, but this made her father frown. The man knows how talented his daughter is, and it is very difficult to find a man of the same age who matches her.

Unless the age limit is lifted. But, let alone whether his daughter is willing to marry someone who is ten years or even decades older than her, he is not willing to marry his daughter to such a mediocre waste.

The Frankel family no longer needs to sacrifice the lives of their own people to gain benefits, that is what only middle and lower nobles need to do.

"This difficulty is not small."

"Then forget it. If you can't do it, just wait. I'd rather die alone than settle down. My partner must not be a waste."

"Ariana, daughter, you are so outstanding. If you are a little more ordinary, your request can be easily satisfied."

"Unfortunately, Father, your daughter is a genius, a genius unmatched by the younger generation of the empire."

"Don't be too complacent. The empire has a vast territory, and there are many strong men who can compare to me, but their reputation is not spread in the empire. It is normal for these strong men to cultivate a genius comparable to yours. matter."

"But father, such a genius doesn't seem to belong to the noble class. Can you agree to such a marriage contract?" The girl smiled.

"It's very easy for a young man with talent comparable to yours to want to obtain a title. Why do I disagree?" the man asked back.

"Then why don't you agree to my brother's marriage? Sister Lucia is also a very good person, just because she is a woman? Can't go to the battlefield? Can't get a title?"

Hearing her father's answer, the girl immediately felt sorry for her brother and asked. And in her tone, there was also a hint of unwillingness.

"That's right, it's because she doesn't have a title, so I object to her marrying your brother."

When talking about his son's lover, Patriarch Frankel not only did not show the slightest disdain, but instead showed a hint of appreciation, but the rules are like this, even if he is a family member, he cannot violate them.

"Honestly speaking, I admire the little girl Lucia very much. If she has a title,

Even if it's the lowest knight title, I won't object to her marriage with her son, but it's a pity that she is a commoner without a title. "

"Hmph, if Sister Lucia is male, she can at least get the title of Earl now."

"A man?" A strange look appeared on the faces of the Frankel family. "If it's a man, even if it's an aristocrat, I can't agree to this marriage. I can never bear such humiliation."

"Cough, my statement was wrong!" Hearing what her father said, the girl blushed and coughed dryly to ease her embarrassment, "I was wrong, if the empire allows women to go to the battlefield, let alone sister Lucia , even I can prove myself on the battlefield.”

"Men are in charge of warfare. This has been a rule since the establishment of the empire, and no one can tamper with it."

"It's not fair!" The girl said something she had always thought was very unreasonable. "Women are no worse than men. What men can do, women can do too."

"My daughter, you are a very special existence. You cannot represent all the women in the empire with your situation. You are no worse than anyone else, but other women are not."

"You know that I can, then you let me go to the battlefield. With your power, you can do this."

"Do you think it is possible for my daughter to enter the military camp and stay with tens of thousands of men? Which father do you think would agree to such a thing?"

"What are you thinking? Father, who can take advantage of me? I am in the army, that is, marching and fighting. Nothing will happen to insult the Frankel family."

"I know that nothing will happen, but I can't hold back those women's mouths and make up some messy news."

"Who dares?" The heroic girl slapped the table, with an angry look on her face, and the clearly visible air wave spread from her palm, instantly washing the table into a mess, and countless confidential documents of the empire were scattered.

"Many people dare, Ariana, you have to understand that once you enter the army, the related rumors will not stop. The Frankel family absolutely cannot bear such remarks"

Seeing his messy desktop, Patriarch Frankel sighed with his hands on his forehead. He really felt a headache for his heir's marriage. The eldest son fell in love with a woman who had nothing to do with the aristocratic class, while the daughter had a very high vision.

"Okay, I won't discuss this matter anymore, I still have things to deal with."

"Oh, then I'll be leaving first." Seeing the messy scene caused by her impulse, the unconscious girl greeted her and wanted to escape.

"Stop!" A stern scolding voice sounded from behind the girl, "I have to bear the corresponding consequences for the mistakes I made, now you obediently tidy up these documents for me, I can't waste my time on these things superior."

"You can ask the housekeeper to clean it up." Under her father's stern gaze, the girl turned around reluctantly and began to tidy up the documents scattered on the floor.

"Why should my housekeeper be responsible for the mistakes you made?" The man who took out an unprocessed document and looked through it said without looking up.

"Hmph." The girl said dissatisfiedly, but she honestly sorted out the documents on the floor, and every time she picked up a document, her eyes would subconsciously scan the contents of the document.

These documents recorded important events in various industries of the empire, but these events were quite boring in the eyes of the girl, and had nothing to do with her, but such a boring mood lasted until she saw a picture.

"what is this?"

With a surprised and inexplicable expression, the girl looked at the image engraved on the document in her hand. On the dense ancient jungle, the light diffused in the sky and the earth, vaguely reflecting a rather strange city.

In the city, there are many buildings that are comparable to thousand-year-old wood. Between these buildings are regular roads and winding bridges. On these roads and bridges, many square-shaped steel structures can be faintly seen.

"This is the gate to another world!"

A slightly emotional voice sounded from behind the girl. The girl who was obsessed with the image of the document in her hand suddenly came to her senses and found that her father had already stood behind her at some point.

"The gate of another world? Isn't this the masterpiece of a master with rich imagination?" The girl couldn't suppress the shock and curiosity in her heart, and couldn't help asking.

"No matter which master's work it is, it is not qualified to appear in this room. There is no doubt that the scene in this picture is real."

"But why have I never heard of it?"

"Because this happened only three days ago, and this door did not appear in the territory of the empire, but appeared in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, which is not under the jurisdiction of the empire."

"Oh!" The girl nodded thoughtfully, and then she had new doubts, "Are you sure this is real? It's not some kind of illusion."

"Do you think this kind of uncertain news can appear on my desk?"

"How does the empire plan to deal with this door?"

"It is still under discussion. If there is no accident, it should be based on observation."

"Observe!" The girl nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, don't be in a daze, tidy up for me honestly, then find a man you can admire, bring it back, and settle your matter as soon as possible."

after a while

The girl with brisk steps and a happy mood walked out of her father's office, "I'm still so young, what kind of partner am I looking for? It's still early, and how can those wastes be as interesting as exploring the gate of another world? It just happens to be boring."

...

"The wild forest? It's interesting. I don't know if it's luck or misfortune."

A young boy with black hair and golden pupils stood on the top of an ancient tree that seemed to rise into the clouds, looking at the vast forest in front of him.

Behind him is the light that permeates the sky and the earth, which is the external manifestation of the space corridor that connects different regions of the two great worlds.

For regions that have been separated for a long time and can almost be regarded as two different worlds, the location of the suddenly opened space corridor is very important.

For example, the portal behind him was suddenly opened on the outskirts of a city, but at the other end of the passage was a wild virgin forest.

The consequence of the sudden appearance of the portal was that the herd of beasts rushed out and massacred the unsuspecting residents of the city, causing considerable loss of personnel and property.

Such losses can only be attributed to natural disasters, and the root cause of this disaster can be suppressed in a short period of time, so it can only be regarded as a temporary pain.

If the portal that suddenly appeared connected two cities of different civilizations, the consequences would be unpredictable.

It could be a massacre by one race against another race, or a war between two races, or even less likely, two civilizations would shake hands and make peace and develop together.

However, the possibility of war is greater, and the premise of peace is strength, and only when the strength is equal or not much different, can peaceful development be possible.

Otherwise, the strong side would only think about how to eliminate or annex the weaker side. This is the instinct of civilization, to survive, develop, and then expand.

So when the cluster world starts to connect, chaos will inevitably occur, and a new and more powerful order will be bred in the chaos.
