Bright Era

In the northern part of Berlay, near the western city wall at the extreme edge, there is a large green area surrounded by greenery. Several old and simple buildings stand among the green trees and red walls, revealing a breath of vicissitudes of history. This is the Royal Library of the Gaul Empire, a place almost forgotten by the Berelites.

When the Hundred Years Land Island War broke out, people all over the world were filled with killing, war, violence, and conflict. Who would come to the library to read?

After the end of the Hundred Years Land-Island War, Saint Louis XIII vigorously developed the economy. All the people of the empire are working hard to make money, to accumulate family business, and to struggle hard. Who has the leisure to study?

After Saint Louis XIII abdicated and Emperor Light I became the throne, the empire became more radical. With rapid economic development and unreasonable arms expansion and war preparations, the entire society is plunged into impetuosity. The nobles are busy with drunken lives and dreams, the common people are busy with indulging in pleasure, even the good guys in the market are busy robbing sites and collecting gold coins, and few people are willing to come here to look through those old antiques.

The current Royal Library has a daily flow of no more than 100 people. Most of them are the old scholars in the university city of Berrely. They come here to read those ancient books for the sake of various papers. And those young teachers and professors are busy attending various upper-class banquets, participating in various academic salons, and publishing books to improve their academic status. . .

These young people are not in the mood to study.

Therefore, the Royal Library became very quiet, as quiet as a cemetery in the middle of the autumn night, except for a few crisp birdsong in the daytime, there was no other movement at all.

Wearing a spacious gray coarse cloth robe, Latus, holding a large book made of thick parchment, walked slowly from the collection hall to the writing hall. As the name suggests, the collection hall preserves about 300,000 volumes of various works and classics handed down from the dark period. The library is a place where library staff or foreign readers can study and write books in peace.

The museum, built two hundred and fifty years ago, is a gray-black megalithic building with three floors above and below, with each floor covering more than ten acres. The building is divided into thousands of large and small rooms. The furnishings of these rooms are simple, but simple but not crude. Each room has its own lounge, bathroom and study room. Although the area is small, it is sufficient. To ensure ordinary life needs.

Many old scholars of Hao Shou's poor scriptures live in the library all the year round, examining one of his own works word by word.

In this impetuous, ever-changing, and rapidly changing empire, the Royal Library is the last piece of pure land, and the last ivory tower that maintains inner peace. Only here can one feel the breath of real learning.

"It's so quiet!" Latus sighed softly, holding the thick "Ninth Book of the Genealogy of Nobles".

It was too quiet, so quiet that he thought he was deep in the ancient tomb, so quiet that he almost thought he was already dead. Such silence, such silence, made Latus very uncomfortable. Even though he has lived here for several years, he still cannot adapt to the environment here.

But you must adapt! At least he has to look like he is very comfortable with the atmosphere here. He has to read books hard every day, copy materials every day, and compile something completely useless. Otherwise, he is likely to suffer the same fate as his father-the three princes of the dignified empire suddenly fell ill and died, and he could not even detect the disease!

Walking slowly along the shady promenade, from the other vertical veranda, a gray-haired old man in gray robe also walked over with a thick book of classics, and happened to walk with Latus. Side by side.

"Master, hello!" Latus bowed slightly to the old man with a humble smile.

"Hello, His Royal Highness Latus!" The old man smiled and nodded to Latus. An invisible wave of magic power radiated from the pendant on his chest, quietly sealing the space around the two of them. Up. If someone spied on them with magic, they would be immediately detected by the magic engraved on this pendant.

The two of them stood on the veranda with a smile, as if two real scholars were discussing academic issues, they were stunned and arguing about something. But if their conversations are made known to outsiders, they will surely cause an uproar.

"In the Sixth Abyss, our people got a definite result from a demon lord at the cost of three hundred virgins."

The old man said solemnly: "The blood drawn from the heart of His Royal Highness is analyzed by the demon lord, and it is a mutated abyssal plague poison. The plague virus originally produced in the abyssal corpse worm has been cultivated by a necromancer. The toxin has been strengthened by hundreds of times, and then purified by the Holy Light, from an instant poison that kills people, to a chronic poison that gradually develops within a few months."

"Holy light purification!" Latus nodded to the old man with a smile, but his eyes had turned crimson.

"Yes, only the Temple of Dawn has this ability. It purifies the virus and turns their lethality from an instantaneous outbreak to a continuous chronic poison." The old man said gloomily: "The Grand Prince, and His Royal Highness, both are Murdered by..."

Latus glanced at the old man deeply: "Then, I should thank them for not killing them all?"

The old man shook his head gently, and he said calmly: "This is the bloodline oath of the Gaul royal family. That person can kill your father and the eldest prince, but... he can't do anything against you and His Royal Highness Maris . As if he could not do anything to your majesty, certain bloodline oaths restricted his behavior."

Latus squinted his eyes, the oath of blood? He suddenly remembered something, something that was left behind by the dude.

The dim hall, the swaying candlelight, the old men in black robes who were so old and full of life. . . The scene like a nightmare made Latus forget these things as quickly as possible, but now, he remembered it again.

"His Royal Highness was murdered!" The old man said solemnly: "I have notified the most reliable noble lords. They have decided to stay by your side and continue to be loyal to you. Just as loyal to His Royal Highness.

After sighing, the old man said solemnly: "Your Highness, you have to cheer up."

Latus gritted his teeth and looked at the old man with a gloomy expression: "I am under house arrest here. I can't even leave the Royal Library. What can you say? I'm not even as good as Maris, although he is in Norman. Warburg is desperate, but at least he has freedom!"

The old man smiled. He looked at Latus deeply and said gloomily: "Perhaps something has changed."

Using the fastest speaking speed and the most concise language, the old man told Latus about the assassination of Bhikkhus, Beya, Stronen, ‘Earl of Longshan’ and others this morning. The prince of the dignified Caesar Empire was assassinated and died, which is bound to inspire various contradictions between the Caesar Empire and the Gaul Empire; Beya was severely injured, his vindictiveness was abolished, and a vicious dog next to Picchus was interrupted; Picchus himself was assassinated Seriously injured, his arrogance will definitely weaken a lot in the future.

With so many troubles gathered together, where is Holy Light I still in the mood to take care of Latus?

This is the best opportunity for Latus to make a career! Take revenge for your father, save yourself from this dangerous and embarrassing situation, and then take a counter-attack, ousting the Holy Light I and gaining the throne!

"It's a good idea, but it's very difficult!" Latustan said whitely: "Even if I have the allegiance to the adults who are extremely loyal to my father, how much power can I have in my hand? Together, their private soldiers can Are there a hundred thousand people? Their confidantes are together, can there be a thousand people? Their family... Well, limited to certain secret covenants, we don't consider the existence above the holy realm!"

Spreading his hands, Latus said quickly: "We will not be their opponents unless we can find strong foreign aid!"

The old man nodded fiercely: "You have the best choice! Your Highness, the seriously injured Earl Longshan! He will be your best partner!"

Latus was silent, he squinted his eyes, thought carefully for a long time, and then slowly nodded.

"You can try, he was assassinated and seriously wounded, countless count, won't just let it go. He definitely wants to find the messenger behind the scenes!"

After taking a deep breath, Latus quickly said: "Find a way to contact him, be careful, and tell him that the black man behind the scenes is probably Bichius! At least I should mislead him to think like this. I have heard of the name of the Earl of Longshan. His wealth surprised me. If he could help..."

Latus clenched his fists, and said word by word: "With his current influence in the Vias Commercial Federation, with the power of his ally, Duke Green Forest, and with his huge wealth, we can do There are many things."

In the Western Continent, population is not a problem, nor is the source of troops. In the five northern provinces of the Gaul Empire alone, after Arthur’s census, the registered population is 160 million. It can be seen that the population of the entire Gaul Empire reached what level? The total population of the Gaul Empire is many times higher than the official figures released by the Empire!

As long as you have money and a lot of enough money, you can easily arm an army of millions of people!

"You can tell Earl Longshan about my psychological bottom line!"

Latus gritted his teeth and said word by word: "If I can avenge my father, then he will get the title of the duke of the empire and a matching fief. If he can help me ascend to the throne, then he will He was knighted by the Prince of the Empire, and..."

Latus sighed heavily: "Moreover, his prince will be a permanent dominion!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations. Monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
