The second time the emperor's thoughts
Three thousand voices, the long cavalry troops and the smoke rolled up on the ground, and the shaking duke's personal guard flag. The dragon knights also saw it. The three magic soldiers immediately landed down, and Grace, who was less than a hundred miles away from the camp, jumped there. Before the flying dragon landed, she rushed over and followed her. It's Lucy, who is becoming more and more lawless.
"What did the front line say? Is Maggreens okay? Is there any counterattack on Alcatraz? Is there any trouble for Laidi? Where is the Magician of Winnie the Pooh? Is Maglin all right? Does it matter to him..."
What about the Duke? The soldiers of Mowu looked at the two little girls who jumped in front of them, and then looked at the three thousand liars behind them. The three of them were depressed with their own three-headed dragon mounts, and the chats of two little girls were still coming from their ears. Kryce said, "Hey, soldier, I'm asking you what you have to say."
Who in the world doesn't know about Grace? This is the wife of the magic martial arts coach. The three dragon knights woke up, quickly turned over the dragon and walked to Grace: "See Miss Grace." Look at Lucian and quickly say hello again, "See Miss Lucian."
"Oh, is he all right?"
"Miss Hui, everything is fine, Alcatraz has been paced, the Salvation Army has surrendered, and the Pope and the Pooh magician have now mastered Alcatraz. We are reporting the good news from the north.
Three thousand iron armors made an exclamation. Keris was overjoyed: "Didn't you say that there are sea dragons on Alcatraz Island, and the dragon knights are trapped?"
"Miss Hui, the adult killed several sea dragons alone, protected the whole army's foothold, and then entered the island alone, stood alone with 6,000 Salvation Army, and finally forced them to surrender."
"..."
Even Kris can't believe the outrageous nature of this heroic feat. The guards behind them also looked at each other and were stunned by the news. How many miracles does that boy have to do? Every time as long as he is there, people expect miracles, and then miracles happen. This time, it's the same. When he went south, the army knew that there was a change on the front line, but people expected that maybe that guy could turn the tide, and then he didn't go out a hundred miles. Sure enough, he did it again.
The problem is that it's too big this time, right? Fighting 6,000 people alone? Then subdued them? Keres didn't have a throat knot, so her small chest fluctuated and her eyes widened. Only Lucian, who didn't know anything about the danger of the military, jumped up: "Really? Great. Maglin is awesome."
"Yes, my family is unparalleled." The Dragon Knight said loudly.
"Yes, he is unparalleled." Grace smiled sweetly. After galloping quickly, Grace and Lucian, who had their legs worn out, were finally relieved. Soon after, at His Majesty's camp, the news of Alcatraz equality came out, and hundreds of thousands of troops cheered. The Duke looked at the joy of the soldiers in the battalion outside his sword tent and his face was expressionless.
Your Majesty drank a glass of wine and called back the Duke: "What are you thinking about? Why do you look a little worried?"
"Your Majesty, after watching the pact of Alcatraz, the soldiers were happy and also saw some of their war-weariness. So I'm worried. After the Battle of the Rhine and the Battle of Southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid they are a little tired. And the next step is more dangerous than the Holy See, because the enemy is inside the royal camp.
"I know. I'm not a soldierless person." His Majesty was aroused by the Duke. He is not an emperor. He is an old man who is complaining to his friends. His Majesty's voice is low: "Robert, I'm old. I always want to do everything for Ribery. What's more, I'm afraid that he is young. If you leave this matter to him, he can't do it well. With Ribery's ability, he can only do one thing well in ten years. If he is eager to do two things, I'm afraid it's even more dangerous.
Your Majesty even used the word "I" in a gaffe. Duke Robert stopped talking, and His Majesty waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say, say it directly."
"Sometimes the manpower is exhausted, Your Majesty, I am also old." Robert said with a bitter smile, "Meglin is a genius, and I have to admit it. I remember your majesty told me that when he was celebrating with the meritorious camp, he said that he could go to the north in five years. Young people, this is still immature. Five years? More than half a year is almost over. After the old faction is paced down, it will arrange follow-up matters with the Holy See, and it will take at least one year to stabilize the inside. It is more difficult to deal with the enemy nobles. It will take at least two or three years, and there will be no big mistake. Even if it is settled, it's time to have a good rest. Five-year Northern Expedition? Difficult. Sometimes the manpower is exhausted, and the national strength is also exhausted.
"Five years, I really want to go to the Northern Expedition for five years. Three hundred years of roses so far. Breaking through this juncture is a piece of light, and it will also end the law of three hundred years of chaos. Alas. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Fortunately, Graiman understands the righteousness. But what about after Graham?"
"Let's talk about what happened after Greiman. With his prestige, it is not a problem for him to be re-elected.
"Robert, I sometimes think that Maglin is my son." Your Majesty said this, his face changed slightly, and he never said it again. There was a slight cold sweat behind Robert, and the atmosphere in the tent was dull. After a while, Robert said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, even if Grayman's move has a deep meaning, I dare to guarantee Maglin's loyalty. Maglin promised him for the sake of your majesty and in order to attract the Salvation Army. Alcatraz is initially determined..."
"Don't you know who I is? Why do I have to say this? I just felt it not because of Maglin, but because I knew that if it was Ribery, Greman would not let him be his disciple. The unity of politics and religion is difficult! Difficult! Difficult! It's impossible without a big change!"
Robert was even more shocked by the words of great change. Robert knew in his heart that His Majesty already had scruples about Meglin. High achievements can shock the master. Your Majesty has confidence in himself, but for his successor, Ribery, knows that Ribery's current prestige in the army is not as good as that of Maglin, a legendary figure. If you add his own prestige and Pooh, if Maglin wants to fight back in the future, Ribery will never be able to suppress it.
And Ribery and Maglin definitely don't have such feelings as their own and Your Majesty. Without this kind of emotional bondage, if the real power of the king and minister is reversed again, will the increasingly mature Maglin develop his ambition? Robert also knows that the power of the old faction is not only a bondage to the royal family but also a bondage to itself. The Hallelujah Mountain Guard system under Winnie is not only a secret weapon for the old faction, but also a defense against the Royal Knights.
This delicate balance has ended with a big victory. Maglin gathered as the first new person in the empire, the self-reunification legion, and has the Duke Department, the Winnie Department, the Guard Department, and even the Salvation Army background of the Holy See! The head of the legion with such an identity background is still the first person in the two secular magic and martial arts departments, and is a disciple of the Pope. If such a background is added with ambition, will he subvert the world?
Thinking of this, Robert thought of his daughter's relationship with Maiglin. For a moment, he couldn't find how to say and how to solve this problem. The Duke could only be silent again. Your Majesty didn't know what to say for a while. Robert in front of him was his best friend. He has been loyal for decades. That boy was extremely loved by himself and was also his son-in-law, but...
The mature king will never put his country on the absolute loyalty of his ministers. People's hearts are unpredictable. Over the years, the Duke has become more and more prestigious, but it is the tacit understanding between the troika that has brought the empire to this day smoothly. But what can we do to balance the next generation? Kaddle? Pooh's ** is inherited, but there is no great wisdom, Ribery? He inherited his own decisiveness in killing, and most of the time he looks like a hot-blooded general but is not a qualified emperor!
For the first time, Robert felt that His Majesty was very far away. He understood that Locke did not care but care very much. He better understood that Locke's care was very reasonable. The country is picturesque. Who can not be moved? But there is Maglin. Maglin has repeatedly made great achievements in his 20 years old. He is unparalleled. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the top of ministers. What will he do when he is in power? Robert couldn't open his mouth for a moment and was silent for a long time. Your Majesty also sat there quietly thinking about his thoughts.
I don't know how long later, Robert whispered in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, when the country calms down, let Maglin return to Winnie." His good intentions came in exchange for your majesty's laughter. Emperor Locke rose up and said, "The minister's meritorious service is taboo in the owner's heart, so that the general hides the snow and the famous knife is sealed, making the country without good talent! Such a king is a faint king, a faint king! I, Locke, is by no means a faint king! Robert, you and Maglin must go on a wild expedition in the north during my lifetime! To relieve the great trouble for me and the people of Rose!"
"I'm a minister, I should die!" I don't want you to die. I want you to live well with me! I just thought too much. Robert, you can't tell Maglin about the private words between those friends, so that the child won't feel cold.
Your Majesty heard Robert's answer: "I am only loyal to your majesty, and I will never regret it if I abandon my family!"
"I understand. There is no need to say more."
Your Majesty interrupted Robert with some impatience. Robert nodded silently and watched the king walk to the map and pulled it casually. The second map appeared. Your Majesty did not look back and said, "Robert, come on, help me see the next plan."
The firelight in the king's tent shook, and the tall back of a generation of kings and ministers was cast on it. From time to time, there was a burst of happy laughter in the tent. The palace guards not far away stood straight, and the rose flag fluttered under the starry sky.
Under the distant Alcatraz Castle, two people are prying the wall. Maglin and the same heartless Clem, the two guys fooled the dinner party and touched the basement of the castle, blocked the door, and then began to explore the plan. Wang Gong was poked into the slate by Maglin, and then slowly pried. Years have passed since the closed doors of the St. John's era, and under the protection of the strange light path, it is still as strong as yesterday.
But what can resist the sharpness of the blade on the king's bow? Except for the purple shield. Soon the stones were peeled off piece by piece. After losing its dependence, the light road naturally dissolved into other light roads, and a black hole appeared behind the door. Maglin carefully leaned over his eyes. Deep inside was a downward step, and he turned the corner, and there was a faint red light at the corner.
Seeing the benefits, Maglin continued without hesitation. He worked hard in the front, and Clem was on the side to carry the falling stones like a follower. Soon, a hole that was enough for people to pass appeared, and the light shone in. A circling down stone ladder appeared in front of their eyes. Clem and Maglin looked at each other strangely and looked at the door of the basement together. Finding that everything was normal, the two unnothing noticed immediately began to act.
The purple shield suddenly took off and rotated in front of Maiglin. Maiglin took the lead in entering. Clem followed, and the stone ladder went down. After the arc of the corner, Maiglin saw that a large curved channel continued to circle down. The basement seemed to be a huge rock body, and the ladder was carved from it. . Maglin became more and more confused. In that distant era, did human beings really have the ability to depict such a stone ladder?
It has been about ten minutes since I walked down. It should be dozens of meters underground, but I still don't feel stuffy. The temperature is about the same as I just felt, and there is nothing on the wall................... But at this time, Maglin found that the red light below seemed to be a little obvious. He strode forward, and Clem followed closely, and the light became brighter and brighter. In the end, the two guys looked down dumbfoundedly and were so shocked that they couldn't speak. They looked at the end of the passage with dementia, but the stone ladder was still down, spiraling down the upper level along the inner wall of the huge cave!
From the beam of light they saw, it can be seen that the whole beam of light is like a sword, which is getting smaller and smaller against common sense. Finally, it is inserted into the center of the top of the stone cave, which should be the basement. The whole stone cave is actually more than a thousand meters deep, and there is no other stone wall to cover it. Looking down at the edge of the steps hanging on the stone wall, Maglin saw the red sea of fire in a place that has become very small under the beam of light. Although it looks like a palm now, Maglin knows that it will be amazing to go down to the bottom. Yes!
"Are we in the sea?" Clem, who was shocked by the miracle, asked that this stupid question did not need to be answered. Maglin just resolutely stepped down, because the sea of fire shone on the whole interior. Maglin just looked at the steps under his feet and began to run hard. He was so good at martial arts that he was not even too lazy to go step by step. He jumped a curve, and then turned his body around his waist and let himself fall on the next circle of steps. It is several meters thick, like a huge stone pillar hitting the stone wall. It is strong and can fully withstand his weight. And Clem screamed the first moment he saw Meglin jump down.
The screams of the middle-aged uncle echoed on the top of the empty cave, almost scaring Meglin down. After being scolded by Meglin, Clem did not dare to learn from him, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and could only run down honestly. He also ran against the inner wall. And Maglin has gone down many levels.
A few minutes later, Maiglin stopped. The sea of fire had become the size of a basin. There was a light curtain on the sea of fire, and the beam of light shot straight up from the middle to the height. Maglin concluded that this could not be done by human beings, absolutely impossible! He swore that even the elf civilization could not have the ability to start such a huge project, still underground and in the sea! As their pseudo-god, they should never have such ability, because in the records of Eurofield, those guys are similar to his peak period, and this huge project is definitely a relic of an overall civilization!
"Clem!" Maglin looked up and shouted, and Clem shouted high across the stone wall, "I'm here." Maglin looked contemptuously at the guy walking against the rock wall and shrugged his shoulders: "Take your time. I'll go down first."
It's not that standing on the opposite side and can't see the guy's agility clearly. Clem saw that Meglin fell easily, even two layers, and then fell, and in a blink of an eye, it became a smaller black dot. Clem looked down at the distant place below dejectedly and could only continue to run hard, but finally He had the courage to support the speed of the wind, so he began to turn around and run down quickly, but he could never catch up with Maglin's direct speed. This is the gap, Clem thought distressedly.
Twenty minutes later, Maglin stood at the bottom of a radius of no more than five miles. The huge sea of fire at the bottom of the stone cave is shrouded in a faint light curtain. The sea of fire can't break through this thin light curtain below. The sea of fire is actually a huge fire pool, and the fire pool is actually a very regular round, with a radius of no less than two miles! There is a series of magic arrays with a diameter of one meter around the sea of fire, surrounded by the edge of the sea of fire, from which the light curtain is connected into pieces. The huge beam of light about ten meters away is straight up in the center of the distant sea of fire, all the way through the top, under the basement of the castle that Maglin remembers.
The ground around the sea of fire is flat rocks. The rocks are neatly arranged one by one, which is completely artificially built. It can be said that the whole fire pool is surrounded by a square. Maglin looked carefully at those magic arrays, but he could not understand the meaning. Those words and symbols have never seen in all his memory. I don't know any of them! There was wind in the wide cave. Although it was hot, it was absolutely tolerable. The dry bottom was bright. Maiglin looked around and saw a tall passage in the west, and a long step extending towards the interior. At the end, it seemed to be a temple-like building inside the rock wall. Maglin was really stunned by these, which were more than his experience could bear, and more than the mystery beyond Europa's memory. The grand and mysterious roughness, and the whole layout with the beam of light even made people have an impulse to kneel in the face of miracles.
