Chapter 754 The War That Can't Be Ended
In this life, her fate is still the same, but the difference is that when she was still young and only participated in two performances as a backup singer, she received a gift from an unknown dog licking player, a federal specialty. Magical construct headband.
Because of the conspiracy of the former Speaker, that thing was very cheap in the Federation at that time, almost giving it away for free.
However, due to the magical medieval background of the Yar continent, transportation in various places is relatively closed, and coupled with the control of the empire, constructed headbands are rare in the empire.
The subsequent plot development is very simple. The girl who received the ring often wears it after completing her daily tasks, so on the night of Ma'elim's arrival, she was naturally involved.
Afterwards, Anvis sealed the Speaker, cut off Maelim's connection with the world, and cleared away the power of eternal sleep that tainted the construct network. Helena woke up together with the others, and fortunately gained abilities.
Perhaps because of her career as an opera singer, she gained the ability to convey her inner emotions to others through singing.
This does not sound like a powerful ability. Helena herself was just excited when she first gained the new ability, thinking that she could achieve better performance results through this ability and live up to her adoptive father Lauren's care for her.
As for working as a receptionist in the Watcher Association, she just ran into trouble once when she was out. After being helped out by the last dragonborn who was passing by, she was invited by an elf player to work as a receptionist in his newly established Watcher Association after completing daily training. Reception positions.
Since the level of the last dragonborn has exceeded level 50, and he has participated in many important plot missions, he has gained a certain reputation in the empire.
He personally invited a first-level backup actor, and without delaying Helena's growth, Lauren Windspeaker was happy to sell him a favor.
They are a national touring opera orchestra and will not stay in White Light City for too long. It is not a big problem for Helena to be the receptionist for the time being.
Helena also agreed with the philosophy of the Watcher Association and voluntarily joined it as a member.
.
….….
"...Is this so? It sounds so fun! What an exciting scene to have a grand performance under the watchful eyes of countless audiences."
"Hehe... It's actually nothing. I was just a backup singer at that time. Sister Fina, the lead singer, was the real protagonist."
In the hall of the Watcher Association, Fiona and Helena gathered together and chatted intimately about some girlish topics. Anne was meditating aside to avoid disturbing them.
After getting along for a period of time, the two girls of similar ages have become familiar with each other.
Fiona is very interested in Helena's experience as an actress. After all, civilian life is too far away from her and has a hazy sense of mystery. Helena is also happy to share her highlight moments with new friends.
“…However, due to the outbreak of the war, we only stayed in Pyrose City for twenty days and had to continue our journey.
According to the news from the "Empire Morning News", two days after we left, Huishi City was involved in the war.
Earl Hedden's army surrounded the city, and the Lord of Pyroxene relied on defensive facilities to hold on, waiting for support. It is said that the city's protective array has now been breached and it has entered the stage of street fighting. Half of the city has been destroyed by the attack magic of both sides. "
As she said that, Helena couldn't help but sigh sadly.
"Hey, Philly, when do you think the war will end? It will only bring death and destruction to everyone."
Just like Avis, who temporarily goes by the name Vian, Fiona currently goes by the name Philly.
"Well, after Her Majesty Gloria III disappeared, the eldest prince and the fourth princess Ao... both wanted to sit on the throne and become Gloria IV. Now almost all the forces under their command are at war. It is said that those who resisted The military is also related to them.
The war will probably not truly end until they decide the outcome. "
Fiona thought for a while and made a guess based on the information she knew.
"The eldest prince and the fourth princess? How long will it take to decide the winner? One year?"
Hearing Fiona's explanation, Helena was a little surprised. This kind of news, which was known to everyone in the upper echelons of the empire, was the first time she knew the inside information.
"I don't know how long it will take. The emperor has never disappeared suddenly in the history of the empire. But the intensity of the war is not too strong now, and the high-level experts on both sides are only deterring each other and have not personally ended.
I guess if there are no other special changes in the near future, this war will continue for at least a few more years. "
Fiona shook her head honestly. She didn't know how long the civil war would last. After all, there was no precedent in history, and the information collected was insufficient, so she could only rely on pure guessing.
"That's it... I hope that after the new emperor takes office, peace can last longer."
Nodding somewhat glumly, Helena crossed her fingers and made a wish as if praying.
"By the way, brother, how long do you think the civil war in the empire will last?"
At this time, Fiona, who felt that she was not experienced enough, directly asked for assistance from the sidelines.
While the two girls were muttering, Anvis was leaning on a soft long sofa next to him, remotely controlling his clone in the floating city, and observing the situation of Marquis Draka.
After nearly twenty days in the main material world, with the astronomical consumption of magic power, Marquis Draka, whose consciousness was trapped in the illusion, was already close to a critical point of weakness.
According to Bomiya's analysis, if things continue, the probability that Marquis Draka will realize his true situation will exceed 90%.
The best time to try to control it is in the near future. If he fails, it is almost certain that he cannot control the ninth-level strongman by force through the distortion seed with the eighth-level strength.
"Civil War in the Empire...?"
Suddenly hearing Fiona's voice, Avis was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"I don't know, but it's impossible to end it within a year, and it may not be ended within a few years. There are too many forces involved.
This is not only a conflict between the two princes, but also involves the ideological struggle of the royal guardians and the struggle of a group of high-level prophet.
In addition, the marquises with well-preserved strength, the four major families of the empire, the Spark Resistance Organization, the Songxing Esoteric Cult hidden in the dark, and the other two major empires on the continent...
I don't know how many major forces are taking advantage of the civil war in the empire to carry out their own plans.
Just like the end of the Gloria II era, although in historical records, the current Gloria III succeeded to the throne peacefully and handed over the Star Crown and the Sword of King Selection from His Majesty II.
But the real situation is that the third king did not know how many forces he secretly contacted, and after decades of preparation, he successfully cleared out all the brothers and sisters who threatened his position, and finally sat on the Eternal Gold Throne that symbolizes supreme power."
