From the beginning, my search was doomed to be fruitless because I misidentified the target's physical characteristics from the beginning.
Galina Castle, a descendant of Lan and the future Queen of Siluwell, is fifteen years old this year, but judging from her appearance, she is very far from the age she should be.
She is one meter tall (about 1.4 meters tall), her short blond hair is combed into a neat doll's head, and her slender limbs are not suitable for wielding a sword. If you saw her true face for the first time, you would probably think she was only ten years old.
about.
The reason for the huge difference between her real age and her physical age? It’s the dim devil pupil under the eye patch on her right eye. Thirteen years ago, when she was hunted to the point of death, the devil’s blood revived. Although she saved herself, she has been transformed since then.
The most direct manifestation of becoming an inhuman is that the growth rate will directly slow down.
Completely different from Fimul who cannot resist the call of blood, Galina, who lives in the dungeon world, has seen many fallen demons. How could she not know that there is no free lunch in the world, and the price to pay for using the power of demons is often your own soul?
, after an accidental tragedy that was destined to be remembered for a lifetime, she made up her mind and sealed her demonic power.
"Magic Sealed Armor Green No. 1"
That's the name of the armored magic machine. The armor Green never takes off is not the shabby heavy armor it looks like at all, but a very exquisite mechanical armor in the form of armor. The real Galina has been operating the machine in this armor.
physical body.
This armor is not just a weapon, on the contrary, it is equipped with various demon-binding props and chains, locking her tightly. Not to mention letting the demonic power leak out, it is very difficult to move her body.
She sealed herself with double physical and magical restrictions, completely sealing away her demonic power.
Moreover, since she has planned to fundamentally seal her abilities, Galina, as an engineer master, gave up her past melee-based fighting style and chose an engineering style of fighting based on explosives, gunpowder, and dwarf muskets. However, due to this
With the super explosive Grimm that is now feared by everyone.
And her unusual vigilance, in addition to the constant war-torn living environment, comes more from her uncle's assassins and spies.
She still can't accept that the person she trusts the most is actually an assassin who wants to kill her. But as she grows up, the trouble of demonic power makes her even more inclined to self-exile.
Facing the outside world, the girl erected a barrier of heart in her own way. She put her immature body in a rotten iron jar, replaced her eyes and ears with small windows and sensors, and replaced the human skin with cold iron sheets.
Temperature. She may be in the world, but her soul is exiled by herself.
"As long as there is no contact, you will not be hurt. As long as you don't trust, you will not be betrayed. I have had enough."
I don't intend to comment on other people's lifestyles, but this girl with the eyepatch is obviously having a very tiring life.
At this time, looking at the girl who remained expressionless and silent even though she was tightly tied up, I didn't know how to deal with it.
"You must have your own plans when you come back here with me. You don't plan to say anything? You know we are looking for you. Why don't you come forward."
"It's not Galina..."
"Um?"
"I am Green, not Galina."
When she said this, the girl's single eye was filled with determination. She really thought so.
"...Are you so resistant to your royal status? Do you think they will look at you differently because of your status?"
"They already look at each other differently,"
Turning my head, I saw the eyeballs of the gentlemen behind me dropped to the ground. I am afraid that the most shocking thing about the fact that Green was a girl was the group of gentlemen who spent time with him day and night.
"Impossible, how could Green be a little girl! We discussed men's topics together yesterday, and he is the leader of the blond beauty faction. How could he be a washboard lolita!"
"Yeah, it'll be fine if we take a bath together... By the way, no one stopped him from wearing armor before entering the bath?"
"Everyone is used to it, isn't it? There is a saying that armor is the correct form!"
As soon as these words came out, the uniform nodding movements made people even more speechless... Although I have always thought about it, at least don't say it in person.
"Hmm, last time I saw him wearing a large bear baby pajamas over his armor. It felt very normal."
"Yes, last time I watched him pour wine directly from a wine barrel."
Well, facing the gentlemen's sudden surprise, Galina smiled triumphantly.
"Ahaha, I am a combat expert and a master of disguise. I have received training as a killer and an anti-killer. I am proficient in the study of male psychology. I can chat with people in sixteen languages. My Grimm One is perfect, let alone imitating a normal person.
I can eat and drink, and it also has a built-in water bathing and circulating function. I can stay in it for a year without coming out. As for those things that I shouldn’t see, do you think I want to see a bunch of gays and idiots showing off their muscles? Faced with those blind things,
I turned off the sensors."
The laughter of this cold-faced loli makes people speechless. She is really proud of her ability to hide her identity. Sure enough, is there something wrong with the Arashi bloodline? Who are these people?
But obviously, this was not the time to waste time with her, so I just showed off my cards.
"Gelina...well, I know you are dissatisfied with this title. Just be Green. You also know the current situation. I need your help. Your uncle should also be your enemy. He is dead, so I can do it for you."
Revenge. Is it okay to ask you to help stabilize the situation now?"
"don't want."
"...Why not? There must be a reason."
"That guy has nothing to do with me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't come back."
Galina had no intention of revenge at all. She left home when she was more than two years old and experienced several betrayals and the shock of demon awakening. Now she even has no memory of her hometown and almost no memory of her parents.
In Galina's memory, the most profound memory of her hometown is probably the cold light of the assassin's dagger. When a person has a negative impact on her hometown without memory, she really has no desire to return.
Her only relative may be the old city lord of Black Iron City who raised her as his son, but having experienced war killings and betrayal, she has no desire for power at all.
However, even if Galina is a bit want-free, this will not trouble me. Galina may be difficult to deal with, but the Green I am familiar with is not difficult to deal with.
"Ahem, I have the latest explosive formula here. I got it from the Oran Empire. Are you interested? They are really good at alchemy and engineering. This formula is completely unconventional. He actually considered high pressure.
Instead of high temperature... Oops, this explosive formula is too difficult, is there any expert who can help me study it?"
The girl's ears twitched and the corners of her mouth trembled. She seemed a little moved, but thinking of the series of troubles that would come if she agreed, she fell silent again.
"... Your Grimm mecha may be good, but the technology is from a few years ago. Don't you want engineers to help you upgrade it? Such a worn-out armor is too ugly. It's a girl's clothes.
Even if you can’t make it beautiful, at least it should be clean.”
"Not to mention anything else, Sulfur Mountain City and Black Iron City have become hardcore. Your adoptive father even has a seat in the Covenant Council. We should treat you well."
Finally, a hint of wavering emerged from that single eye.
"You only have to show up for half a day every day to show off. The rest of the time you can do whatever you want. If you agree, you will have priority in using all new equipment in the future. The new alchemy explosive formula that Olivia researched last time can also be given to you.
"
"...Including the Roland series of Titan robots and Timiret's new toys?"
I nodded immediately, but my heart was filled with joy. I was not afraid that you would make a request, but I was afraid that you would not ask for it. I was not afraid of asking too much, but I was afraid that you would not speak. Since you did speak, my heart will naturally move.
"Okay, if you want, you can become a test pilot at any time. Since you can make this small mecha look like a living person, I believe there won't be many people who can match your driving skills."
"No, no one can surpass me in this area, I am an expert!"
Her green eyes were full of confidence. With countless accumulations, Galina never believed that someone's robot operating skills were superior to hers.
"make a deal."
When the hands of the big one and the small one came together, the system prompt suddenly sounded.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for finding the last member of the descendants of Lan. Holy Sword Roland has completed the first stage of evolution ahead of schedule. Please continue to work hard to make it stronger. System prompt: How dare you tell Eliza that you always
Do you want to take Green with you to take a shower?】
Hearing this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. As one of the few normal people (who can communicate) in the League of Gentlemen, and considering the younger generation of professors, I did always chat with Green and work, and I saw him as trustworthy and strong.
, I always ask him to help wipe my back. If this spreads, I will be in real trouble.
"Well, since we are related by blood in a certain sense, would you like to be my adopted daughter? Don't worry, your father will not be involved. It is just in name and for political needs."
Okay, I lied. There is indeed a certain political need, but it is more of a private goal. There should be no problem at all for the adoptive father and his young adopted daughter to take a bath together.
"It will be fine if you give me pocket money regularly."
Well, judging by that glowing left eye, it’s a lot of money, but it’s worth it!
"make a deal."
----------
In the square, the young princess put on the purple-gold crown, and a new generation of queen of the Sluwell Kingdom was born. When she took over the royal golden scepter, her first statement was destined to shock the whole world.
"I, Galina I, will make a declaration in the name of the Queen of the Siluwell Kingdom. The Siluwell Kingdom will regard the East Lan Principality as a fraternal state and jointly build the Homeland of Lan. We will also worship the God of Law as our national religion.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Siluwell will abide by the 'no war' oath and will not initiate any war, but..."
The queen who had just ascended the throne raised her golden scepter and slammed it into the ground. Her declaration in a childish voice was filled with thunderous anger.
"Our land is being ravaged by war, and our people are being massacred. The current situation is not a choice we make, but if we don't want to destroy the country and the nation, we have to fight!"
Speaking of this, Galina paused, but a sad look flashed on her beautiful face.
"In the more than two thousand years of history of the Lan tribe, there has never been any deeds of surrender, but my uncle Fimul Kasuo, for the sake of his own life, safety and power, actually committed such an evil act. It is really sad.
.But we have found out that he was so corrupted and degenerated, but it was all due to the conspiracy of the devil. It was the evil god of chaos and the great devil who corrupted his originally noble and firm will, turning the originally heroic and warrior prince into the heinous person he is today.
"
The people in the square were talking a lot. The news that Fimul had revealed his demonic form had spread throughout Antun, and more and more of his crimes were exposed to the sun. This is why I came to power so quickly.
"All of this is a conspiracy of the devil! We, the Lan tribe, have never had a precedent of surrendering to invaders. We have never done so before, and we will never do so in the future! In the name of Queen Sluwell, I declare that Fimul's surrender order is invalid.
We are still at war, and we are grateful for the support from our neighboring countries, but we ourselves are the main force resisting aggression, and we must drive the invaders out of our homeland!"
This declaration may seem ordinary, but it is actually very important. Because Fimul’s surrender declaration previously made the invaders the masters and the reinforcements the invaders. If this relationship is not reversed, political overthrow will cause a series of
crisis.
"We Lan people have never liked war, but we have never been afraid of war. Since they have chosen to come, maybe we are at a disadvantage now, but just like it has been for thousands of years, the one who will win in the end is still
us!"
Galina paused, raised her scepter, and issued the declaration that had been repeated countless times.
"Lan's will will never surrender!"
"Lan's battle flag will never fall!"
The people below also raised their fists again. When the descendants of Lan waved the familiar battle flag again, the suppressed passion was finally ignited.
"The people of Lan will never be slaves! We have not yet failed, and we have not yet subjugated our country! As long as that flag does not fall, we will eventually rise again."
But at this time, I stood silently on the platform. When Galina raised the golden scepter, I also raised Roland's holy sword. At this time, it was quietly shining with silver brilliance.
"Woo!"
Accompanied by the sound of the trumpet representing counterattack, in the palm of my hand, the ancient holy sword from the epic story turned into a pillar of light reaching into the sky.
Under its power, the dark clouds in the sky were torn apart, revealing the hidden truth.
In the floating city, the floating fleet is gliding in the clouds. The most eye-catching thing is a huge free storm element. At this time, the master of the storm finally fulfilled his agreement and led his people to launch an attack on his old enemy.
"Knights, our reinforcements have finally arrived. It's time to take back our territory! Open the door and charge with me!"
The queen jumped onto the Ice Lion King and started marching directly, but behind her was the knights who had been prepared for a long time. Countless battle flags were standing in the forest, and the sharp spears and halberds were emitting a deadly cold light.
Today is the succession ceremony of Galina I, and it is also the declaration of war of Sluwell.
