On December 27, FT8, there are still three days (30 days a month for Ashe), the old year is about to end and the new year is about to begin.
There is no distinction between the solar and lunar calendars in this world. The New Year's celebration in three days will be the grandest festival of the year. With the little snowflakes falling, the pedestrians are in a hurry, but most of them have the joy of satisfaction and expectation on their faces. There have been many bright festive ribbons and slogans on the shops, and the streets are full of joy.
With the continuous improvement of living standards and the massive job opportunities brought about by great prosperity and development, for the residents of Defende, as long as they are not lazy to wait for relief at home, their lives will naturally get better and better. A development trend that grows higher and higher is more precious than a rich material life.
The development trend of backgammon, he made everyone full of expectations for the future, worked hard for his better future, and was more grateful to the Lan Kingdom royal family who brought this kind of life.
And at this time, it is also the busiest time for the administrative department and the royal family of the Lan Kingdom.
It is not only a large amount of work to be dealt with, but also winter grain dispatching and winter hunting preparations are major events related to the rise and fall of the country, and meeting representatives from all walks of life and participating in various activities is also a requirement to stabilize people's hearts.
The door of the royal family was open, and the carriages were constantly passing in and out. The reception and reception at the end of the year were being held in the parlour. The representatives of the masses left and came again. The face of Renee, the host, was full of smiles because of the excessive smile. More than an hour, has been laughing cramps.
But the visitors didn't care about this, they excitedly waved to Her Majesty the Queen of Harmony, rushing to lower their heads to kiss her fingertips.
The development of the past eight years can be seen in the eyes of the people. The knight princess of that year is already the real Her Majesty the Queen. Seeing the health of Her Majesty the Queen and the concubines also means that the Lan Congress will develop more steadily in the coming year. The only worry is probably that A side effect of Her Majesty's little personal hobby.
"What if there are no descendants of the royal family? If something happens to Her Majesty Renee..."
It's a bit ridiculous to say that when the Lan Kingdom was in decline, no one cared about this issue, but now, as the country's power rises step by step, a dangerous fact is placed in front of it - the royal family has no one to follow.
There is no need to say how important a stable heir is to a kingdom. Although Donglan is still a principality in name, it is an uncompromising empire in terms of map size and influence, with centralized power. The advantage is that the administrative efficiency is extremely high, but the disadvantage is that once something happens to the centralizer and the candidates do not keep up, that is the collapse of the entire empire.
However, this "Knight Princess" was probably raised from childhood to boys, and even some orientations were too masculine, and eventually there was a deviation.
These are just trivial matters, and the citizens will not be dissatisfied with Her Majesty Renee because of this. On the contrary, the interest in the streets has increased her closeness to the people, but this small hobby has directly led to Her Majesty the Queen has been married for several years. No offspring yet.
Of course, if her imperial concubine is pregnant, I am afraid that the first dissatisfied people will be these people who like to watch gossip, but after so many years, Renee has always been the only one in the royal family, which makes people very flustered.
If the royal family of the Lan Kingdom still has a branch bloodline, they can find a way to find a nephew to take over, but in this situation, if Her Royal Highness Ruo Renee has no descendants for a long time, even if there is no accident, she will always age. Once the throne is vacant , when the time comes, the people in power below will not fall out with the genius.
As for the adopted sons of other countries? Sorry, the Lan people are very serious about this. It must be this bloodline. They still remember the battle flag of Lan and the previous kings who guarded themselves and the country in those years.
Therefore, the most embarrassing scene for Renee continued to occur. After those representatives said a series of words to congratulate the New Year, they would always turn around and start talking about their sons and grandsons. "Let's have a son!" These are extremely rude words, and those big nobles and domestic bigwigs directly began to introduce their nephews and grandsons' achievements and experiences... Since three years ago, this has been the annual milestone of Renee. Now, according to the average marriage age in mainland China, there are quite a few people who get married at the age of fourteen. Renee, who is now twenty-two or three, should indeed be the mother of two or three children.
"Is it forced to have children after forced marriage? This queen is really miserable."
"...Are you qualified to say that? Do you still have the face to say that?"
The dead cat as a bound item is quite happy, but I think she seems to have something to say.
"What's up with me? Didn't this all come from Cavens."
"Cavins? You forgot, who is Renee's titular guardian knight?"
Guardian knight? To put it another way, the lover knight of the noble duchess is more suitable. Does Renee still have guardian knights? When she was in Oran, she seemed to have found a female knight for her, and the rumor of Renee Lily started at that time.
"Who? Oh... the time machine is over there, Tinkerbell, it's time to go on an adventure in the age of dinosaurs!"
I finally remembered that in order to intervene in Lan's domestic affairs in the name of orthodoxy, and to stop the rumors that some or not, I was indeed Renee's guardian knight in name, that is, Renee's personal knight... I kind of know What does the complaining and angry eyes that are constantly thrown over mean, I should hurry up and find a time machine.
At the beginning of this moment, my original mentality of watching the hilarity disappeared, and I was very happy to start the festivities, but when I watched the festivities, I was very heart-burning when I saw the upper body.
"You finally thought about it, the woman of Yongye... Do you think that ordinary people would dare to pursue her just because of her name? It's all your fault that she can't marry."
"Bullshit, it's obviously Cavens' fault. Didn't he use Renee's body to eat flower wine, would it cause those scandals?"
"Okay, let's fix it. It's the fault of your two shameless and skinless brothers. You buried the hole and filled the hole, specifically for the granddaughter's goods. How do you plan to make up for it? Everyone else will be ruined by your two brothers in this life."
After hesitating for a moment, I finally gave up trying to find a time machine... I'd better find any door.
The New Year's visit and reception in previous years will soon end, but this year, the situation is slightly different. None of the visitors this year seem to want to leave.
In the eyes of the visiting guests, a familiar figure sitting at the corner of the table reading a book is shocking.
"That one? Is that him? Is he back at last?"
"I mean why the bounty was cancelled. It turns out that Her Majesty Renee has finally found him."
"Shh, don't say it, be careful he's gone home again."
These five big and three rough men, the voices are not small, how can I not hear them in the same hall, when I hear these helpless words, I don't know what to say.
"Fucking home? Offering a bounty? When I'm a kid who ran away from home?"
"Forget it, your performance is worse than that of the bear child. At least the bear child doesn't know what he is doing. You know everything, and you still follow your own temperament."
Across the two tables, I couldn't stop pointing and whispering, but I didn't dare to come over and talk, as if I was afraid that I would run away as soon as I spoke, just...
"Just come back, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about the descendants of His Majesty Renee."
"Yes, the Lan family has a successor. I hope that the first child will be His Royal Highness, so everyone can rest assured."
"Oh, I didn't believe the rumors back then, but after watching the opera, I knew it was true."
"Opera? Oh, that Princess Peach? I remember that Her Royal Highness Renee played Princess Peach, and Her Royal Highness Roland played the Dragon Knight. In the end, the Dragon Knight kidnapped the princess... Oh! That's what it meant."
Wait a minute, the amount of information in these words is too much, let me justify it first... I'm going to go, I can't explain it at all, it's too bad to spit it out!
"puff."
The dead cat rolled around laughing as always, this guy didn't talk about his image after he turned into a cat.
I opened my mouth, intending to refute the rumor, but I immediately shut up... How can I refute the rumor, saying that I played Princess Peach that time? It turned out that after so many years, the rumors did not disappear, but became more and more intense.
I think I know why the two princesses are so unfriendly to me. It turns out that in their hearts, I am a rival in love
These eyes peeking, sideways, and out of the corner of my eyes made my scalp tingle, but I attended this event to calm my heart, saying, "I am in the north, The fact that I don't plan to go out and make trouble for the time being" also put a little pressure on those mice that were just about to move in the gutter. Now that the main seat has not started, it seems a little out of place to drive away.
"Forget it, let's do the right thing."
So, while others were chatting, toasting, and chatting cheerfully, I tried my best to focus on the documents in my hands. It was like playing for two months on the last day of the summer vacation before I remembered that the summer vacation homework had not started. Ahem, I'm just making an analogy, do I look like someone who forgot to write summer homework? Yes, I never hand in summer homework, so how can I write it
Since the day I arrived in Defende, I haven't read the documents and materials in my hands. There are too many things to deal with and too many homework to make up, but these things are still very important and can't be sloppy.
And what I have in my hand is the latest mainland battle report, which is almost the hottest news recently.
"In the battle between the old and new generations of the gods, both sides lost. Yong Ye said that both sides were weak! ... These little things are becoming more and more headline-grabbing. Let me write a comment, but they even call me a big banner."
Baier's undead army was finally stopped. Not only Baier's ally ancient dragon, but also their "ally" the archmage of the country of wizards.
"... You really wrote, 'The Council of Truth was hanged by the Great Undead Emperor?' You really dare to write, the guys in the Cloud Tower are probably blown up by anger. Those old antiques are difficult to deal with."
"Bullshit, I'm not that stupid. What I said was 'If you only look at the strength on paper, the Council of Truth is inferior to the Great Undead in terms of individual strength', how did it become 'The Great Emperor of the Night said that the Archmage of the Council of Truth are all The scumbags of the combat power five, those unscrupulous cosmic goblins, actually misinterpreted my words! Do you want me to be killed by those old antiques?"
This battle report is from Baier's side. Both sides of the war are mages, and they are not too headline-grabbing. Because of my special identity, I am a member (nominal) of the truth council of the kingdom of mages, and I am also an undead. The Great Emperor (retired), those goblins came to me to comment with the on-site memory ball, and I just said a few words. It seems that my outdated commentary really caused a lot of trouble.
"...Are you new? You actually believe in the integrity of journalists? Do you want me to help you write a letter to the Antique Council to explain? Just a few draws will do."
"No, they are not fools. Whoever believes in the titles of those cosmic goblins is really stupid these days."
Due to their greedy character and ubiquitous temperament as long as they have money, the goblins in shops all over the world get their new names, but as professional intelligence dealers, the title can be sensational, but the content is real.
Looking at this battlefield record, I recalled the time when I saw the battlefield memory crystal two days ago.
The spreading undead natural disaster was finally blocked. The way the masters of the Council of Truth played was a forbidden spell at the head. The forbidden spell with both fire and earth attributes directly rewritten the terrain of that area, a new volcanic belt. Appeared there, and also cleaned up a lot of cannon fodder.
In a sense, those old antiques can be considered to keep pace with the times. Several archmages teleported into the battlefield with the floating tower, and then let the Forbidden Magician stand in the floating tower and recite the spell, waiting for the opponent to enter the range. The rogue way is not fundamentally different from the one I had before.
And the way the undead emperors responded is the same ferocious one-shot instant forbidden spell. We don't know how they did it. The super-wide blight technique, but in terms of area and lethality, it did reach the forbidden spell. Standard, it drained the water of all life in the plain, turning all animals and humans into mummified corpses.
The Forbidden Magic confrontation is only the opening, and the next Mage duel is the highlight. There are seven truth-level Mage and three Taikoo dragons from Baier and the Kingdom of Mage. It seems that it is two-on-one.
All kinds of spells fly around on the battlefield, and ancient forbidden spells and esoteric legends have become Chinese cabbage. I can't identify many of them, but at least I can see who wins and who loses.
It can be seen that this fight is just a test, and neither side is serious enough to do their best. After all, when a mage fights, it is stupid to work hard before finding out the opponent's area and cards.
The result was as recorded, no one was killed on both sides, and the wounded were not serious, that is, the area was about to be re-written, with a bunch of volcanoes, lakes, mines, and ice fields. The original map was obviously unusable.
Judging from the process and results of the confrontation, although none of the trump cards were shown, the old antiques of the Council of Truth actually suffered losses. You must know that among them, there are Heloise's teacher and Margaret's mentor, who are both Some old-fashioned stuff that I don't even dare to mess with.
I threw the newspaper aside, this is just the beginning, the two sides will still fight, and when the opponent's trump card is revealed, the mages will come up with the trump card that will kill, and compared with the strength of the two sides, the fighting will of the two sides more questionable.
"Let the old fritters of the Council of Truth work hard? For other countries? The undead emperors are still testing the rebound of the main plane. This scene is a bit of a grind."
And when I was thinking, a sudden voice interrupted my thoughts and gave me the urge to run away.
“… Her Majesty Grena of the Sluwell Kingdom is here…”
