Scene 233 Baby Girl

Time moved forward slowly in minutes, and the nobles became quiet again. Veronica took a map from Sidney and marked several areas on it with stones and branches:

"December Square and the surrounding areas are full of rioting people. Every street from the south gate to the east gate is blocked by them. The fastest update is in the south of Queens. When we passed there, we noticed that The few guards on duty are confronting the advancing crowd, and these places are not suitable for passage."

While making gestures, she explained:

"After entering the inner city, there are guards guarding the city. Even if there is a problem with the patrolling cavalry and the city guards, these troops directly under the imperial royal family will be loyal to their duties. There are still a small number of monks from the temple of the Flame Knights stationed here. It is impossible for high-level power to infiltrate and disintegrate their combat effectiveness in a short period of time."

She looked back at Brando and asked, "How sure are you?"

Brando shook his head and said truthfully: "There is nothing at all."

The night wind blew across the hills and through the woods, making the corners of the map rattle, and the stones and branches on it were scattered all over the place. Everyone present felt the deep cold all night.

Veronica didn't care about the map, and it didn't make any sense anyway. She looked at the young Eruin with a nonchalant expression, as if the answer to this question should be like this.

The head of the female army said in harmony: "Then at least avoid the rioting people, they might become your help."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult," Baron Homez said at this time. He is the eldest son of Grand Duke Huaye and Faina's elder brother. This is a young man with good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with the upright spirit of a soldier: "The current riots are far worse than the records of 23 years ago, let alone the turmoil of the dying year. affected."

The others present fell silent, obviously not optimistic about the opportunities brought about by this turmoil. But Brando felt that it was not that simple. It would be fine if there was a shadow of all things reuniting behind the rioting people, but the tree shepherds seldom returned empty-handed, once they started. There must be an attempt.

But he didn't say what he thought. He knew that in this era, it was difficult for the nobles to distinguish the factions among the cultists, even for a knowledgeable person like Veronica. It is also often confused with the tree shepherd and the unity of all things.

And he can tell the difference between them, but he can't explain why he knows the cultists so carefully. This is a very taboo topic, so he just keeps silent.

The only one with the same calm face as Brando is the old prime minister Niedwen.

The big man who used to dominate the empire has become taciturn again after scaring everyone before. He doesn't say a word to the discussion of the people, just quietly watching from the sidelines, but he is full of energy, like Not afraid of this cold night, his squinted eyes are always shining brightly.

Little Ni Dewen, who was next to the old Ni Dewen, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Her Majesty has known for a long time that there are heretics instigating the people behind her back. She doesn't care about it, and she is afraid that it is to kill and gain power."

It is said to be Ni Dewen, but the current imperial prime minister is actually in his sixties. According to the lifespan of Warnd's Black Iron People, he has also entered middle age. Although he could not be appointed as the queen, he finally stepped down from the position at the last moment. The understanding and speculation of the queen's political intentions can be understood. Said to be the most authoritative among the people present.

"Political instability in the Banker area, killing people is indeed the best way." Veronica nodded.

Only Brando frowned. As a person from the civilized world, the topic of massacring civilians was still unacceptable to him, although he understood that such topics were nothing to nobles.

in nature. Social animals also often consume their own populations to reach a balance with nature, as do humans, whether through war or internal friction, especially in times when expansion is struggling.

The source of the turmoil in the heart of the empire was still the supply line being cut off. Moreover, the war between Metz and the south of the Evergreen Corridor seems to be difficult to end for a while, and it will only reduce the population that consumes food for a long time.

"Lord Nidwin, what do you think?"

Veronica turned her attention to the old prime minister.

Old Niederwen sighed: "In the early years, Her Majesty the Queen was not like this."

Brando froze for a moment, he didn't expect the former prime minister of the empire to say such a sentence, and the others were similar. However, the words of the old prime minister brought back memories of the older nobles—such as the Grand Duke of Mekhotov.

"Indeed," the latter nodded, "It is indeed unexpected that His Majesty will become what he is today."

"What was your Majesty like before?" Brando asked suddenly.

It wasn't a sudden outburst of curiosity, but he realized that old Niederwin's sudden insertion into this topic might mean something.

"The commander of the Veronica Legion should have a memory."

Veronica froze for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "Her Majesty was called the kindest princess in the empire before, but that is already the time of her princess."

"I remember clearly," the Grand Duke of Mekhotov said with a smile, "At that time we were studying aristocratic etiquette at the Griffins Royal Academy. Her Royal Highness often talked about the future and ideals with us young people. Of course, what she cared most about It is the status of the empire, but at that time she believed that the Cruz people could gain prosperity and strength not necessarily through war, but also through business and development..."

"Yes, I was a staunch opponent at that time," Veronica couldn't help but also laughed, as if remembering the past youthful years: "I am about the same age as Her Royal Highness, every time Her naiveté would make her half-dead, but Her Royal Highness at that time was indeed far from what she is now. She paid special attention to business, and hoped to return to glory through the expansion into the Black Forest and the trade links within civilization. The second flourishing period of civilization since 2000."

Hearing this, Brando couldn't help touching his nose, wondering how this strategy sounded familiar.

"To be honest," the tone of the head of the female army couldn't help but lowered: "I actually agree with her more now, but I can't tolerate her way of splitting the empire, and her attack on the princes violated the nobles' rules." game rules."

At this time, Brando suddenly realized that he knew too little about Her Majesty the Queen of this empire. In another period of history, she was just a transitional figure. The period when she ruled the empire existed as an era between the past and the future between the two great emperors.

The well-known Silver Queen, Constance on the Supreme Throne, was the most peaceful period of time in the empire. The peace of the world, the only memorable thing is the third jihad, but unfortunately this jihad is destined to be a footnote for the next larger-scale war, which is already the experience of another legendary emperor.

As for the history of Her Majesty's princess age, and even her girlhood. Little is known.

The same is true for Brando, who found that his knowledge of the time of the Queen Her Majesty the Princess was limited to a few descriptions by Turaman.

Why did she change so much before and after?

Brando suddenly remembered the conversation at that time, and couldn't help but mutter to himself subconsciously: "...Then what did she see in that seal, except for the crystal disease?"

Old Nidwin suddenly raised his head, looked shrewdly at Brando, and then shook his head.

"No one knows, but I have a guess."

The two of them seemed to be playing a riddle, and others were confused, but only Brando could understand. This problem is back to the original point.

This is a question that even Turaman was vague about, but the old man in front of him told him:

I have a guess—

He froze for a moment, and immediately stared at the former prime minister of the empire.

The old man was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "I heard a saying that someone once saw Her Royal Highness bring back a baby girl from there."

"what?"

"From the crystal."

Brando suddenly understood, and realized that the key to the problem was the baby girl.

The old prime minister stopped talking and looked around. The Duke of Mekhotofen and Nidwin Jr. who were present immediately understood and made excuses to leave. Only Baron Homez was a little confused about the situation. But then he was dragged away by his sister.

Before Faina left, she looked at Brando with some concern.

Veronica was also about to resign, but was retained by the old prime minister.

"You stay, Legion Commander, you are also the person involved." He said: "In the past, I doubted this statement, suspecting that someone was deliberately spreading rumors, but after witnessing what Her Majesty the Queen has done for decades, I finally I understand."

Neither Brando nor Veronica interrupted, they understood that what the old prime minister was going to say next was the point.

really. The old prime minister replied slowly:

"...I suspect that the baby girl is a newborn."

"What is a primordial species?" Veronica asked a little puzzled.

Brando suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, recalled the documents he had seen in the past, and explained to the head of the female army: "There are many theories about the first-born species, but the Buga people think that the biggest possibility is the pure-blood gods... ..."

"God people?"

"Not the people of the gods, but the people of the pure blood. The people of Miner are also descendants of the people of the gods with thin blood. Odin, the dragon of darkness, is also the people of the gods. But the real pure blood gods of the previous generation are only the knights of the sky."

The old prime minister nodded slowly at the side: "Mr. Earl knows more details than me, so the Azure Knights in the Epic of Cang are also newborns."

"Why is there a newborn baby girl on the last battlefield?"

"I don't know about it, maybe it's the offspring of Odin and the Witch Queen."

"It's impossible," Brando shook his head: "The blood of the people of the gods is thin from generation to generation, and the descendants of Odin and the witch queen can only be Miners." He paused, then asked: "Nedwin My lord, why do you think so?"

The old prime minister was silent, as if hesitating, but finally made up his mind and said: "Few people know that Her Highness the Princess once made a vow of chastity after the holy war. Of course, this is a secret. The ring-bearer is It's Valla."

"Later, Her Majesty the Queen married the Duke of Olsen. Seven years later, the Duke was assassinated by a cultist on his way to the Metz area. During this time, Her Majesty the Queen gave birth to seven princes and three princesses. I originally I thought all of this was over... But then I suddenly figured out the joints, and after having doubts, I quietly asked Vala to prove that Her Majesty the Queen has never broken her oath."

"what!?"

Both Brando and Veronica couldn't help making noises, they had never heard anything more bizarre than this.

"The princes and princesses?"

The old prime minister nodded: "Since then, I have begun to suspect. On the one hand, I declared a seclusion and stopped interfering with the internal affairs of the empire. On the other hand, I secretly investigated and finally found some clues. Your Majesty has been secretly supporting some well-known alchemists, she exterminated the dark believers in East Metz and imprisoned Mayad, in fact, all in order to obtain the blood of God from the tree shepherd."

"You mean..."

"I suspect that Her Majesty the Queen is trying to reproduce the primordial species. Those princes and princesses are her masterpieces. Of course, she claimed that these children are her own. Her marriage to Duke Olsen has also become a good cover, but the fact Some people in the God Empire have suspected it for a long time, after all, Her Majesty's body does not look like a fertile woman."

"Wait," Brando suddenly felt a little creepy. He couldn't help but wonder if the next emperor of the Cruz people would be an artificial human? But he immediately realized that the eldest son of the emperor of the empire was an exception, because he was the son of elder brother Constance. When she won the throne from her elder brother back then, she would eventually return the throne to the blood of her elder brother. This was also one of the promises made by the Silver Queen to the dragon and the former emperor of the empire.

"It's nothing." He waved his hand, indicating that he was thinking too much.

The two looked at him strangely, but didn't ask any further questions.

But Brando thought of another question, "Since Her Majesty is trying to reproduce the primordial species, what is her intention? Where did the primordial species that she brought back from the last battlefield go?"

He raised this question, but the old prime minister shook his head unexpectedly: "I don't know, let's not talk about how the power of mortals can reproduce the pure-blood gods, and I don't know why Her Majesty is so obsessed with it, but the newborn It didn’t fall into her hands in the end.”

"what?"

"I happened to investigate this matter, and the existence of that child was artificially covered up, and only a few people knew of her existence. And among the three parties involved, I found a person named Pamid Andotel Sir, it’s a pity that I went one step late. By the time I found him, this gentleman had been called by the Lord. I went ahead. I spent a lot of money to buy all his notes during his lifetime from his widow. In it, I learned the truth of the matter.”

"I'm sure, Mr. Earl, it was your grandfather who helped Her Royal Highness the Princess to cover up this incident, and the baby girl was finally taken away by a woman named Gloria, who is not from the Empire—— And I went the wrong way at first, I thought she was closely related to your grandfather, I wasted a lot of time on it, but found nothing. Then I changed my mind and turned to investigate people around your grandfather, only to find this woman It turned out to be your father's fiancée, and in the royal genealogy of the Eruin Kingdom, there happened to be a princess with this name."
