In the palace area of Kagexi City, there is a group of palaces with a strong exotic style. There are the diplomatic envoys area and the embassy.
The Principality of Donglan does not have an embassy in the Oran Empire, and in a temporarily arranged villa, even though the night was deep, a certain girl who had been deceived was still angry.
"Damn Dasos! You didn't say that when you invited us! This is fraud and an insult to the entire principality!"
The fourteen-year-old girl was losing her temper in the room, but unfortunately, she only faced her follower sister with a wry smile on her face.
"Yes, they deceived us, but as a small country, what can we do? Should we spread the word and refuse to obey? I'm afraid, they will immediately regard it as an insult to the empire and the new king, and launch a full-scale war. I'm afraid, this will
It’s also the reason they need to start a war.”
Yes, the Donglan Principality has no intention of becoming a subordinate country this time. Princess Renee was just deceived. Similarly, there are several small countries that insist on not being subordinate.
"According to the current development situation, the rise of the Oran Empire is unstoppable. When other countries agree to become vassals, if we insist on not being subordinate, we will definitely become a thorn in everyone's side. This is just to maintain the dignity of a big country. Oran
The empire must also attack us, and the war with the orcs has just ended, and our current national strength cannot withstand this war."
This is a clear show of pretending to be real, using force to suppress others, Renee gritted her teeth.
"Yes, they saw through this and deceived us to come here. But sister Kelly, didn't you say that the blood of Lan will never surrender! We will fight them."
The wood elf woman in front of me is the court teacher Celebrianne, or Kelly for short, who has served the royal family of Lan for nearly five hundred years.
She has taught more than 20 monarchs in the royal family. She is even the enlightenment teacher of the legendary Gemini. She has high prestige in the country and is deeply trusted by the royal family.
"So, if we can make the long-standing bloodline of Lan surrender this time, Dasos and the Kingdom of Oran will definitely gain a higher reputation. But if we don't surrender, he will find reasons to start a war. No matter how we deal with it, he will not
It’s only because I’m at a disadvantage that I can play tricks and tricks so carelessly.”
"Why? Aren't we all humans? Why are they more difficult to deal with than evil orcs?"
The face of the young princess was full of fatigue. These days in Kagexi City, facing the nobles who were armed with honey and swords, she felt it was more difficult to deal with them than on a battlefield filled with flames of war.
"Ha. It's just because they are human that they are difficult to deal with. Your Highness, have you forgotten the destruction of the Land of Arashi? What the Kingdom of Arashi gained in the end by defending the border of the entire human society for generations is the shameless betrayal of all human countries and the heresy of the church.
The referee is the sharp knife in the vest. Never trust those stupid, short-sighted and dishonest human kings, and the gods of order who have no faith at all."
Although he was smiling slightly, the soft words in the green-haired wood elf's mouth revealed his distrust of the entire human society and the gods of order.
"Furthermore, if you agree to sign the vassal alliance, your support rate in the country will plummet, or this is one of their purposes. After all, the pain caused by the blood of Lan is really not small, and you have been
Their performance should have put them on guard. Perhaps this is the reason why they set a trap for us regardless of their appearance."
Renee was immediately speechless, and then she looked even more incredulous. Is it just because she performed so well during the orc invasion? In order to suppress her reputation and force herself and the Donglan Principality to bow their heads, a forced subordinate came?
"impossible!"
"No. This possibility is very high. You have two famous ancestors, and the Lan bloodline is full of talents. Naturally they will be very wary. In addition, you and the twin princes have quite similar faces, no matter
, it’s exactly the same. No matter if there is another demon invasion or the night of Dyfende, they can’t stand it.”
As they talked, both of them turned their eyes to the oil painting on the wall, which was a raging battlefield. The war was going on, and the young generals were marching with the flag.
They were a pair of twins. The boy holding the sword was raising his sword to strike in mid-air. The golden holy light shone on him like a god descending to earth. But even in the most intense and desperate time on the battlefield, he still had a harmonious and sunny smile.
, as if there is a smooth road in front of you.
Behind him, there was another young man with the same face, holding a sword in his left hand and a wand in his right hand. The flames from hell were burning on his right arm, but his young face was full of anger.
Behind them are the heroic charging knights, and in front of them are the endless orcs and demons. In the corner of the picture, you can vaguely see the flags of the human nations, which expresses the artist's desire.
Anger and dissatisfaction.
That is a replica of Donglan Principality's famous painting "The Last Princes".
"Your Highness Roland and His Highness Cavins? Sister Kelly, are they really that powerful? If they were in my current situation, would it be much better?"
Renee was a little depressed. This feeling of being ashamed of her ancestors made her feel powerless.
"Don't say anything dissatisfied, you have already done a good job."
Kelly shook her head.
"This kind of comparison is meaningless. Renee is Renee, and the Gemini Princes are the Gemini Princes. If Cavins were in your position, he would probably only have the only option to kill with a sword, and the situation might be even worse."
"In other words, if His Highness Roland were here, maybe the situation would be very different?"
Renee keenly discovered the hidden meaning in Kelly's words, and became even more frustrated.
Hearing this, Kelly was stunned for a moment, then showed a nostalgic smile.
"Roland, if it were him, he would not have let himself fall into such a passive situation in the first place. That boy looks very sunny and cheerful, but in fact he is full of bad water. It is enough for him not to cheat others, but he will also let others cheat him.
He, Cavins, is 100% sure to be fooled, but most of the time he will walk in a straight line regardless of the situation, but he will often charge out with brute force without being reasonable."
Renee was a little curious. The sister Kelly in front of her was a real royal family elder and a living library, but she had not always liked to mention the past. At this rare opportunity, she had to seize the opportunity to ask questions.
"Um, sister Kelly, can you tell me about the deeds of those two highnesses? Are they really as powerful as the legends say?"
Renee leaned weakly against Kelly, letting her braid her hair and touch up her makeup. This had been her daily habit for the past two years.
Thick eyebrows, eyeliner, trimming off excess hair, and covering up too fair skin with pink makeup. Under Kelly's skillful hand, the difference between male and female faces is further blurred.
In an increasingly unfavorable situation, the Principality of Donglan needs a heroic knight who is very similar to the legendary Paladin Roland. Instead of a noble lady who is destined to be busy in social situations all day long.
"Although it's incredible, they are actually stronger than the legend says. If the war hadn't broken out and they hadn't been given enough time to grow up, that era would have been destined to belong to the two of them."
Hearing this, Renee raised her head suddenly, and the makeup pen suddenly went crooked from her face, and the makeup was all over a large area.
"It's impossible. They must have been the same age as me when they died in the battle. No, what Sister Kelly said is definitely true. I'm really useless. It would be great if His Highness Roland could make the decision for me."
"puff."
What surprised Renee was that Kelly covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Sister Kelly, why are you laughing? I am serious!"
"No, Renee, it's just that someone has said this before."
"who?"
"Roland, he always said, 'Oh, this is troublesome and a waste of my reading time. If only Cavins could handle them all, then I can be lazy reading every day.'"
The legendary hero actually has such a lazy side. Roland, who is regarded as a role model for the Paladin and the royal family, actually also likes to be lazy?
"Does His Highness Roland like reading books?"
"He likes it very much. Whether it is art, music, literature, history, astronomy, geography, or messy alchemy and engineering, he likes them all. If he hadn't been sent to the church to become a paladin, if it hadn't been for the sudden war that followed.
If he breaks out, I'm afraid he will eventually become a world-famous scholar."
"Wait a minute, Sister Kelly, wasn't he only ten years old when he was sent to be a Paladin? He can read at such a young age?"
"Both Your Highnesses can read when they are one year old, otherwise they would become world-recognized geniuses. However, there is a little story in this."
"Awesome. Story?"
"Well, it usually takes more than a year for a normal boy to learn to walk. Even if the blood of Lan can make children intellectually intelligent early, Cavans learned to walk and a few simple words just one month after he was born, which is enough to go down in history.
What a genius."
"Your Highness Roland?"
"He, Cavins can walk, he is still crawling, Cavins can call mom and dad, and he can only cry. And when they were one month old and we were all worried about Roland, Cavins
With great strength, I started grabbing his bottle, and he finally made a sound."
"Sound out?"
"Well, he first said to Cavins, 'Hey, boy, if you're not afraid of being sliced into pieces, I'm afraid of it. Can you be more relaxed, can you be more professional? We are normal babies, and we should learn to cry now. Come on, cry with me.
One, wow ah ah ah! Come, raise, wow ah ', and then I found that Kavans couldn't understand to continue grabbing, and then shouted for help.
You're bullying his brother. Huh, if you dare to rob me of my food, I'll die with you.'"
"A child who is only one month old actually knows how to hide his talents? This is simply incredible."
"Why not? In the past few hundred years, I have taught many geniuses from the Lan royal family, but I have never seen such an outrageous child. The world thinks Cavins is a super genius, but in fact Roland is even more outrageous. If
It’s not that he spreads his energy across various subjects and misses the prime time for training, he can’t be worse than Cavins.”
"Can you tell me more about His Highness Roland?"
Looking at the tired-looking Renee, Kelly gently stroked her hair as she did when she was a child, lowered her head and kissed the girl's forehead.
"Well, then, if you are tired after a long day, let's just think of it as a bedtime story. Roland, although he is very smart, is also very unreliable. Once, he happily took me to see his new invention.
, and proudly said, 'Look, this transparent thing will definitely sell well, I call it glass, and it will definitely make a lot of money, so that our national life will be much better.'"
"Did Lord Roland invent glass? I remember it existed more than six thousand years ago."
"Well, he didn't know it at the time. When I told him, his depressed face was really heartbreaking, and he was still muttering in a low voice, 'It's okay, then just invent movable type printing.'"
"Printing technology? Hasn't it been monopolized by the God of Knowledge for a long time?"
"Well, I said it at that time, and he became even more frustrated. But the next day, he started studying astronomy and biology again. The theory of evolution of survival of the fittest, although it seemed obviously unfounded, but now that he thinks about it, he still
There is some truth to it. For example, [species are not created by God, they are constant, they are changeable, organisms evolve, and natural selection is the driving force of biological evolution. All organisms have a tendency to reproduce too much, and living space and food
is limited, so living things must fight for survival]"
"Aren't all living things in the world created by the gods? Didn't all life originate from the source of order, the abyss of chaos? This is an obvious lie."
"Yeah, but he wasn't depressed. He quickly found a new toy. He has always been like this. He never knew what it meant to be discouraged and give up. Even when the war started, he quickly transformed from a rookie to a true military god.
If we hadn't faced a hundred times more enemies..."
Under the accumulation of fatigue and anger, Renee soon fell into sleep while talking, and looking at the armor the girl took off, Kelly fell into deep thought.
The armor was very gorgeous. It looked like heavy mithril armor, but in fact it was just soft armor with a light alloy coating, even lighter than leather armor.
It is impossible for the Arashi bloodline to produce geniuses from generation to generation. Renee is not a genius or even a qualified warrior. What is the difference between a fourteen-year-old Black Iron junior warrior and a commoner.
During the charge of three thousand miles, all she was responsible for was raising the flag and shouting slogans, taking the lead while trembling. If she really met her opponent, any orc could easily kill her instantly.
But it is a pity that the current Donglan Dukedom is in need of a knight princess who is like an ancient hero. Renee has sacrificed a lot, but if the current situation continues, she will continue to sacrifice, even if the sacrifice is very likely
There is no reward, and all that awaits her is notoriety and the incomprehension of the people.
"Hey, maybe Renee is right. This burden is too heavy for her. Roland, where are you?"
Kelly stroked the dagger at her waist. On the hilt of the dagger, two giant dragons were surrounding each other, and two luminous pearls were embedded in them, one white and one black.
This is the lamp of life. It is a secret method spread by royal families in various countries. When the royal family members are just born, their first drop of blood is taken out for a ceremony. Then, this bead becomes his lamp of life. If the lamp goes out,
, it means that the person is dead, this can also be used to prevent royal personnel from being impersonated.
And this decorative short knife with two beads is the lamp of life for the twins - Roland and Cavins.
"Cavans's light of life is getting darker and darker. It seems that he is completely falling into chaos, but Roland..."
The situation of Roland's lamp of life is extremely weird. It lights up, goes out, turns white, turns black, and transforms repeatedly.
A hundred years ago, the black one even surpassed Cavins, and not long ago, it went out strangely, and two months later, it lit up and turned white again.
"If this lamp of life reflects the real situation, Roland would still be alive, and his life should be very exciting."
Inexplicably, the blade trembled slightly, as if she was summoned by something. Kelly stood up instinctively, looked around, and found a figure under the tree.
"Roland!!"
But when I looked closely, I found that it was just a willow tree blowing in the wind.
Kelly shook her head and closed the window.
"Oh, it seems that like Renee, I am looking forward to having a reliable shoulder."
And in a corner that she didn't notice, under the window, a figure wearing a silver mask was righteously itching her teeth.
"Dassos, how dare you distract the attention of the Kingdom of Lan? I will make your ending worse than what happened in history!"
PS: Some people think it’s too expensive to write a big chapter, and some people think it’s too watery or not interesting enough to write a small chapter. Well, I’ll do it at my own pace from now on.
The college entrance examination is here. Good luck to all the book friends who took the college entrance examination. I hope everyone can get into the school you want.
