Extraordinary Mechanical City

The Emperor Omar, Spurgen XV, was still alive with a hanging breath.

However, it will only be within three to five days.

The palace has also become lively these days, and the princes and grandchildren are waiting outside the emperor's bedroom day and night.

Because, they still have to wait for him to announce the heir to the throne and get that "orthodoxy".

When Ren and Ymir entered the bedroom, they didn't know if it was a coincidence or they waited for them specially. That group of princes and grandchildren is almost here, there are twenty or thirty of them.

"His Royal Highness Princess"

"aunt."

"Your Highness Ymir"

Ymir walked into the hall all the way, and everyone greeted him enthusiastically.

Compared with the cold scene when no one saw her off when she left the imperial capital, this time in the imperial capital, she was greeted with care and concern from almost everyone.

Because, once the enemy of the nobles, no one now regards the eldest princess as a competitor.

Everyone knows that Ymir has already been divided, and she has almost no influence in the imperial capital. Even if the throne is passed to her, she can't sit still.

On the contrary, as the emperor's younger sister, her position is crucial at the moment.

Her words may affect the old emperor's final decision.

Ren silently followed Ymir into the hall, his gaze swept over everyone quietly.

Although he had never seen this group of royal relatives like Ymir, he could tell the identities of some people from their positions and demeanor.

After entering the bedroom, there are only three princes who are qualified to stand here, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the eighth prince.

These three young men all have the iconic blond hair of the Spgreen family, wearing gorgeous clothes inlaid with various gemstones, and white tights on the lower body.

This is the standard dress of a prince.

Of course, not far from the bed, there is the legendary Queen Tess Lopez who is as beautiful as Ymir and is known as one of the "Double Beauty of the Imperial Capital".

Regardless of position, this queen is indeed beautiful and moving.

Smoky makeup, sexy red lips, pretty and charming facial features. A translucent black gauze couldn't hide her graceful figure, her proud chest and beautiful legs were looming. A large piece of snow-white skin was exposed in the air, and the skin was tender and rosy, like a ripe peach. Except for the pair of Hanchun eyebrows and eyes, there is no trace of age on this woman at all.

Good-looking, with a perfect figure, and dare to wear and show off, this kind of woman can't help but look at it more than any normal man.

But when Ren saw this woman, his heart moved slightly: "Is this the concubine of the old emperor with squinting green eyes?"

At this moment, the empress was beside the emperor's bed, looking at the old emperor with affection.

For some reason, Ren thought of the line "Da Lang, it's time to drink the medicine".

His intuition told him that this was a very scheming woman.

With the addition of the three princes and the empress, the four forces that have the best chance of vying for the throne are all here.

Besides them, there are three people beside the emperor's bed, two doctors in white coats and a missionary in white robes?

When Ren saw the missionary in the white robe, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Because, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that on the cover of the secret tome that guy was holding, there was a strange vertical eye, which was the symbol of the "Three-Eyed Evil God"!

This is a missionary from Glory City.

They actually spread the belief of evil gods to the imperial capital of Omar? !

Ren frowned.

The old emperor was unconscious, and the atmosphere in the bedroom was a bit dull.

Ren followed Ymir in, didn't speak, and stood quietly aside.

Because at this time, the white-robed priest who was very close to the bed seemed to be treating Spurgeon XV.

No one dares to disturb.

Ren glanced over, and the emperor was lying on the bed with half of his body exposed. Silver-white and thinning hair, with bark-like folds all over his face, he looks old.

He is a doctor, so he naturally knows what this means. This is a state where life is almost exhausted and blood is gone.

Ymir on the side watched his brother age like this after not seeing him for a year, with sadness in his eyes.

At this moment, everyone in the room was listening to the white-robed missionary muttering a spell that didn't look like a spell.

"God said that his devout believers will never suffer from illness. The holy light will shine on every dark corner of the world and drive away the filth"

As he chanted, he flipped through the secret book in his hand, and a faint white fluorescent light slowly illuminated the whole room.

There are also priesthoods among medical supernatural beings, and all kinds of strange spells are not necessarily strange.

But Ren's expression changed slightly as he listened.

Because, at this time, the system prompt sound came!

【Ding! Warning, unknown mental power invasion, subconscious tampering, progress 0.03%]

"This is what happened!"

Hearing this reminder, Ren looked at the missionary again and became very gloomy.

"Subconscious modification" is a terrifying ability!

This was already a very terrifying method in Ren's previous life.

Because it can modify people's cognition and memory!

In the previous life, the federal officials used it to deal with the heinous prisoners, changing their perceptions and making them completely harmless to society.

For example, habitual rapists tamper with their cognition so that people can't be excited about certain behaviors at all.

This is more effective than chemical castration.

The scary thing is that you don't even realize the cognition tampered with in this way.

Just like in your dream, the world created by your subjective consciousness, you will not find it strange what happens.

And in this extraordinary world, there are similar methods. That is the deep hypnosis and spiritual suggestion in the extraordinary of the spiritual department.

But that spell also has flaws.

Because there is an extra loophole in cognition, many "patches" are needed to make up for it. For a high-level transcendent, it is easy to see the flaws.

However, the white-robed missionary in front of him actually used it on the emperor!

This also shows that the grade of this "spell" must be extremely high. It's so high that the court priests and the high-ranking mages in Glory City won't notice it, and they have tampered with people's cognition without anyone noticing it!

Finally, Ren knew why those guys in Glory City could make so many people believe in the Three-Eyed Evil God in a short period of time!

This method is simply impossible to guard against.

Just being illuminated by that light for a moment, Ren was slightly affected, but what about the old emperor?

The missionary was brought by the second prince, and he instantly understood what these guys wanted to do.

No matter what the old emperor thinks, directly tamper with some of the old emperor's cognition and make him make the second prince the emperor?

Sure enough, none of the princes are fuel-efficient lamps!

"It seems that Glory City is still a serious problem."

Ren narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming more and more unkind.

If it's an obvious method, their Black Dragon City is indeed not afraid of any forces. But with this "subconscious tampering" method, I'm afraid it won't take long, and the whole world will be full of followers of that evil god.

This is the scariest thing.

At that time, there will be no need for a big war, and believers will be able to destroy everything.

The means of the "god" are really extraordinary, which makes it impossible to guard against!

Fortunately, there is a system that detected this abnormality, otherwise, the consequences may be unpredictable.

At this time, Ymir beside her seemed to feel the slight fluctuation in Ren's mood, and she turned her head to glance.

Ren gave her a serious look.

The tacit understanding between the two made her understand something instantly, and when she looked at the missionary again, she also had a strange look.

However, it is useless to say anything now.

Since the missionary dared to perform this "magic art" in public, he was sure to hide it from everyone.

Even if Ryan stood up and said that he had a problem at this moment, he could not provide any evidence.

He just stood aside quietly, without speaking.

Not long after, the missionary had finished performing the spell.

A miraculous scene appeared.

The old emperor, who looked like he was about to return to heaven at any moment, turned rosy and slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the missionary also closed the secret tome, and said with a pious expression that a magic stick should have, "Your Majesty, I have used magic to dispel the filth of death for you just now, what a pity."

The old emperor shook his head and said: "Thank you, Master Miriel, you have done enough, thank you. I am very aware of my physical condition, and now I can still feel awake. I am very content."

The missionary said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I'm taking my leave."

The old emperor nodded.

As soon as he woke up, he saw Ymir not far away, with a rare smile on his face: "My dear sister, you are here. I am grateful to God for allowing me to see you again before I die. "

Ymir walked over, sat by the bed, held the hand of his brother who was about to pass away, and said, "Brother, I'm back."

King Spgreen looked at Ymir and said with a complicated expression: "Just come back, I have wronged you."

These words, of course, refer to the fact that "Fenfeng" let her leave the imperial capital in the first place.

If it wasn't for Rennes, it would have been extremely difficult for Ymir to build a new city when he was isolated from the whole world.

Ymir sighed slightly, and only she knew whether it was warm or not.

But she couldn't explain the experience during this period of time in a few words. She didn't say much, turned her head and glanced at Ren, and said, "Brother, I brought a very powerful doctor. Maybe he can help you relieve your pain."

After a pause, she introduced: "This is Dr. Ren, and the owner of our Black Dragon City."

Ren stepped forward, saluted with a chest protector, and introduced himself.

The old emperor glanced at Ymir, and seemed to understand instantly.

He took a look at Ren, and there was also a kind smile on his old face, and he said, "Well, you are a good-looking talent."

Ren has been observing the old emperor, articulate and clear thinking, which shows that he is very conscious now.

That "magic technique" really has some tricks.

And just when Ymir signaled to let him check the old emperor.

At this time, a discordant voice sounded.

"Wait!"

It was the glamorous queen Tess who spoke.

She glanced at Ren, and said lightly: "If it's a doctor, don't bother Your Majesty. Dean Fino of the medical school has already checked His Majesty. Now Your Majesty's body is very weak, and he can't stand the trouble anymore." .”

Ren's expression remained unchanged.

Anyway, whether he looked at it or not, he knew that the old emperor's time was numbered.

But when he heard the name from the Queen's mouth, he narrowed his eyes slightly and took a look at that "Dean Fino".

Isn't this guy the traitor who betrayed Irubek in exchange for wealth?

And at this time, that Dean Fino also said, "Yes. Your Majesty's condition is not suitable for any further inspections. Resting is the best way."

It's not that they really despise Rennes, on the contrary they still attach great importance to them.

Being able to be called "superior medical skills" by Ymir, everyone in the room guessed that this young man has some tricks.

It's just that there are some means, so he can't be allowed to try.

In fact, the old emperor should have died a long time ago. The longer the delay, the worse the situation for the empress faction will be.

Issue an imperial edict?

No, if she was so muddled to death, she would have more room to manipulate.

Not long ago, the second prince found such a missionary from Glory City, and it was already a big accident to make the emperor sober.

Now if another doctor is needed and some secret method is used to extend the life of the old emperor for a period of time, the situation will become even more difficult to control.

Ymir frowned upon hearing this, and glanced at the queen. My sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

But at this moment, the emperor spoke with a sigh: "Okay, you all go out. I have something to say to Ymir."

Although the XV of Spgreen had a good life for a few days, he didn't understand the intrigue in it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing the emperor's words, the princes and empress didn't stay much, and they all left the bedroom.

In a blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the bedroom.

Ren and Ymir stayed.

He checked the old emperor's body, there was no disease, no signs of poisoning. It looked like normal aging.

But for Spgreen XV's age, this aging was unusual.

Normally, it should be poisoned. It is a toxin that cannot be detected without current means, or a toxin that will not leave traces in the first place.

Hearing Ryan's conclusion, Ymir's expression was not good.

Anyone who can poison the emperor must be someone close to him.

Both the queen and the princes are suspected.

However, things have come to this point, and nothing can be changed now.

"Probably poisoned"

The old emperor was very open-minded, and he didn't seem to be completely kept in the dark.

At this point, he is very clear that even if he pursues it, it will not change anything. What's more, he has been in a coma for more than half a year, and now his control over the situation in the capital is no longer as good as before.

He watched Ymir leave Ren here, and guessed the relationship between the two.

He is very clear about his sister's character, if he doesn't deny it, then he approves it.

He didn't shy away from Ren, and directly revealed some royal secrets.

Siblings chatting about old times,

Of course, the most important thing is to explain the last words.

"No matter how noisy the brothers are, this is Omar of our Spgreen family after all. I plan to pass the throne to Eric (the second prince). Ymir, if possible, I hope you can help him. "

When Ren heard the old emperor say this, it was probably that the missionary had successfully tampered with some of the old emperor's cognition.

The second prince is not as good as the fourth prince and eighth prince in terms of virtue and talent.

Normally, the throne would not be his turn anyway.

However, that doesn't matter anymore.

Regardless of passing the throne to any prince, the ending is similar.

The only difference is that whoever gets the "orthodoxy" is the righteous one.

The best result is that one of them can turn the tide and kill the other princes who are fighting for the throne. Although it sounds bloody and cruel, the Omar Empire is still the Omar of their Spgreen family.

But obviously, the current situation is impossible.

But Ymir shook his head and said, "Brother, the current situation is already very difficult."

She, the emperor's elder brother who is rarely sober, has lost the precise control and judgment of the situation in the past. Ymir told him about the current situation, and then talked about "Black Dragon City".

"Brother, I finally know what my ideal country looks like."

With tears in her eyes, she described everything about Black Dragon City to the emperor.

Listening to her words, the old emperor's eyes shone brightly, as if seeing a "Utopia".

"My dear sister, it turns out that you have come so far."

Ren has been acting as a transparent person on the sidelines, listening to the chat between the two brothers and sisters, interjecting a few words from time to time.

Probably because he was about to die, the old emperor had no scruples anymore.

At this time, he revealed a secret that shocked both Ren and Ymir.

"Ymir, there is one more thing to ask of you. After I die, Metternich, who is now locked in the secret room, you can take him away too. I know that child hates me, I am dead, I hope He will no longer be blinded by hatred towards life."

When Ymir heard it, his face became very strange: "Metternich? That staff member who was next to the queen before?"

The old emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. He is my child and your nephew."

"."

Lei, who was on the side, dozed off and woke up.

What a shocking gossip!

That squinting eye is actually the illegitimate son of Emperor Omar!

When he thought about it again, the things that were originally confusing suddenly became more and more complicated.

What's the situation?

The queen had an affair with Metternich, and he cheated on his father?

The eldest prince Quentin also died indirectly in his hands, did he kill his brother?

Ren felt that he couldn't turn his head around. Are nobles so good at playing?

Ymir was also stunned when he heard that, looking at his brother, waiting for his explanation.

Knowing that he might die tomorrow, the old emperor told all the secrets hidden in his heart: "Didn't I tell you not to investigate the accident in Storm Lake? It was indeed arranged by Metternich. But He actually didn’t want to hurt you, but he saved you.”

"And before that, because he exposed some clues, I knew that the elder would kill you. That's why I was forced to choose to enfeoff and let you leave the imperial capital. Now that I think about it, I actually saved you, elder The old aristocrats of the club have already murdered you, and you will be in danger sooner or later if you stay in the imperial capital."

"As for why he did this, I think that child still has kindness in his heart. He only hates me, Tess, and wants revenge"

"That child has great talent in governing the country, has ideas, and ability."

"Originally, he was the most suitable to inherit the throne, but unfortunately he was blinded by hatred."

"Of course, all of this is my fault."

"."

Ymir listened with an extremely complicated expression.

She never thought that the truth of the matter turned out to be the truth.

Ren listened to this "big melon", and the clues in his mind were unconsciously connected.

The first time he met Metternich was when he was at the "Plague Base", he played cards with that guy all afternoon, and then agreed to help him deliver a letter to Ymir.

At that time, she couldn't understand why this squinting eye was someone from the queen's camp, but he would remind Ymir.

Only now did he fully understand.

Ryan also asked Master Kavo about the details of the gamble that bet on the future of Glory City.

Metternich said something, which made Kavo willingly lose.

One of the things he said was.

The old social system has collapsed and a new one is needed.

Ymir's New Deal is one of the seeds he planted.

He wants to give this era some hope.

The old emperor continued to tell the story behind.

But the plot of the story suddenly changed from a "suspense drama" to a "spy drama".

Then, it became a "dog blood drama".

Ren finally knew why Metternich hated this aristocratic system so much.

In this lord-centralized society, nobles are the people at the top of the pyramid, and they own everything, including the lives of civilians.

There is a vulgar tradition in the aristocracy that has lasted for countless years.

That is the first night when nobles have the right to deprive commoners of their newlyweds.

No, it's not called deprivation, but the euphemistic name is "the gift of the nobility".

When civilians get married, they will report to the local lord (nobility). Then, if the nobles fell in love with the newlyweds' wives, they would go to the banquet in person. In the evening, he will replace the groom and enjoy the first night of the civilian newlywed wife.

For this society where nobles are supreme, nobles patronize commoner families, sowing blood is a "gift" to commoners.

Ryan had heard of this custom which made him feel very vulgar.

This is also the reason why he has never been so cold about nobles.

Then, things happened because of this "bad habit".

Many years ago, when young Doppler Spgreen was a prince.

If you have nothing to do, go play Weibo private visits.

He went to a territory.

Then it happened that a commoner family got married.

The prince was full of vigor and blood back then, seeing his newlywed wife was beautiful, and then exercised his "noble gift" power.

That's all.

Many commoner families can't afford to offend the nobles, so they just endure it.

However, Doppler's own wife, who is now Queen Tess, is not a good person.

The beautiful but jealous future queen was furious about the fact that Doppler was "stealing fragrance and sowing seeds" outside.

In order to get rid of this potential threat, she went there herself, and then tortured the new wife, sinking the well.

Originally, when this matter came here, people were going to die, so it was not a big problem.

It is normal for nobles to have a few civilian lives in their hands.

But he didn't think that Shen Jing's new wife was not dead, but was rescued up here.

Then she happened to be pregnant.

Then Metternich was born.

Then, this guy who was born with hatred since he was a child has extraordinary mental power, and he met the "Top Ten Legends" [gambler] Olatu K. Kant at that time, and accepted him as a disciple.

And then, now.

He turned into a distorted but paranoid Squint, planning a terrifying conspiracy to revenge Omar.

Even the queen still doesn't know the true identity of Metternich.

The old emperor continued to tell the secret that only he knew.

Now he is going to die, he wants to make up for this illegitimate son who owes too much, and wants to save his life

But Ren felt that the old emperor still underestimated Metternich.

He thought that guy wanted revenge and wanted him and the queen dead.

Little did they know, that guy wanted the entire aristocratic system to die.

The ambush in Storm Lake, the death of the eldest prince Quentin, the outbreak of the Kuroshio, the founding of Glory City, the poisoning of the emperor, the sleeping of the queen, and the infighting among Omar.

Behind all kinds of big events, there is a small staff figure.

Although there are still some hidden hands that have not been exposed, Ryan connected all the known clues together, and finally understood that Omar's situation today was entirely caused by Metternich alone!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gasped, and shouted in his heart: "Damn it. Poisoner!"

It can be expected that the squinting eyes must have a backhand. The struggle for the imperial power of Omar is far more than what you see in front of you. There must be a more exciting drama waiting to be staged

And while Ymir and Ren were listening to the old emperor about this "scandal\

,"In the secret room under the emperor's bedroom.

The squinting-eyed man was flipping through the spider cards by himself in boredom.

At this time, he turned over a "King of Plum Blossoms" and raised his eyebrows.

In poker divination.

K, is the king card;

Clubs are dead cards.

Seeing this, Metternich had a mocking smile on his face, and murmured: "Old guy, do you think the matter is over when you die? Tsk tsk. You dirty nobles should have been destroyed a long time ago. yes."
