Mortal Epic of Douluo

"Your Majesty, after all, I am just a count now. And as a count, my territory is so small that it is not even as big as an ordinary count's manor. Twenty years have passed, and the people of Haagen-Dazs have forgotten that Ferdinand

Lezeya, even if he is crowned, it is just an empty name."

Fraser didn't know why the Emperor said such words, but her intuition told her that the purpose of Emperor Xueye calling her to the palace today was not simple.

"Fraser, tell me, how many people are left in your family now?" Emperor Xue Ye asked a question.

Fraser thought for a moment and replied: "Seventeen people, including me."

"Seventeen people, except for you, how many soul masters are there among these sixteen people, and how strong are they?"

Frazier became increasingly unclear about Emperor Xue Ye's purpose, but he still answered honestly: "Among the sixteen people, eleven are soul masters, one soul kings, three soul sects, five soul masters, and one soul master.

Master, a soul master, three other children who have not yet awakened their martial souls, and two people with innate zero soul power."

"Alas -" Emperor Xue Ye sighed, "The former Haagen-Dazs royal family has now fallen into such a decline. Twenty years ago, the Tiandou army and the Xingluo army faced off at the Yaksa Pass. Your mother led the kingdom

The army came to help. At that time, your family sent a total of one soul saint, two soul emperors, five soul kings, and several other soul masters. Your parents were both soul kings close to the strength of the soul emperor. At that time, they also

They are only in their early thirties, and with their age and cultivation speed, they are expected to become Contras."

"Under the mediation of Qian Xunji, the Pope of Wuhun Temple at that time, the two armies stopped fighting, and your mother returned with the kingdom's army. As a result, they encountered an ambush at the border of Fasno Province and Haagen-Dazs Kingdom. The army

The losses were heavy. Your mother fought her way out of the siege under your father's desperate protection, and returned to the Kingdom of Balak with only two thousand people, asking for my protection."

"There are different opinions on which force attacked the army, but the final result is that I received a joint letter from the nobles of Hagensas in Barak City. They worked together to dethrone your grandfather's throne and support him.

Brown Darkwill is the new king."

Emperor Xue Ye did not continue talking, but Frazier clearly remembered the subsequent developments.

Twenty years ago, when his grandfather was still sitting on the throne, there were one hundred and forty-three members of the Fraser family, and there were twenty-six soul masters above the soul sect, including two soul saints and three soul emperors.

, seven soul kings.

In that ambush battle, most of the elite were completely injured. Her parents followed Emperor Xueye back to Tiandou City, where they spent six years. During these six years, those who originally stayed in the country

Most of the ethnic groups died in the persecution after the coup.

It wasn't until she was born that Xueye, as the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, reached an agreement with the nobles of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom.

On the premise that Brown Darkwill was recognized as the King of Haagen-Dazs and the Darkwill family became the royal family of Haagen-Dazs, her mother Catherine Fraser was renamed Earl of Frazier, and the fiefdom was

The family's ancestral land covers an area of ​​only 2,000 acres, and there are 60 households with a total of 212 people.

In the following years, her parents passed away one after another. Just the day before she entered Bloomington Junior Soul Master Academy, she inherited her mother's title and became the second Earl of Frasera.

"Your Majesty called me to the palace today just to talk about this? I was told before coming that you would simply announce me to enter the palace and have afternoon tea with the prince and princess. But now, why do you want to touch my wound?

Where's the salt?" With tears in his eyes, Fraser looked directly at Emperor Xueye regardless of his status.

As the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, there were only a handful of people on the mainland who were qualified to look at him on an equal footing, but Fraser was definitely not among them. However, Xue Ye was not annoyed, and instead motioned for her to calm down and let her sit down.

"Having hatred in your heart is a good thing. If you have hatred, I also have hatred."

Xue Ye sat back in his seat, picked up a cup of tea that was already slightly cold, and drank it in one gulp. Then with a "pop" sound, the tea cup was slammed on the table and turned into powder. "You

I hate that my parents were depressed and died of illness, and that the family declined and the number of people was not prosperous. What I hate is that as the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, I see that the country is getting weaker and weaker, but there is nothing I can do!"

"Father, calm down!"

Xue Qinghe quickly pulled his sister Xue Ke to kneel on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Father, the emperor works hard day and night, works hard and manages the country in an orderly manner. The four kings and one prince are all respectful; Southern Xingluo has not dared to do so for twenty years.

War breaks out. The borders of the country are all around, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, just like the prosperity of Tiandou City, which is a symbol of the prosperous age, Father——!"

If Atreus saw this scene, I would give Qian Renxue a Best Actor Award, because she really played the role of Xue Qinghe so vividly that she deeply penetrated the emperor's heart.

"Alas -" Xue Ye was not happy with Xue Qinghe's compliment. Instead, he sighed in disappointment, "I asked you to worship Sect Master Ning as your teacher, but you didn't learn anything good.

You are a gentleman from a poor family, and you have only learned their articles and strategies... You are a pure-hearted boy who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. How can I safely pass on the throne to you in the future?"

Xue Qinghe still knelt down and apologized: "My son is stupid, please punish me."

Seeing that Xue Qinghe was still like this, Xue Ye became very angry, but what could he do if he got more angry? After all, he only had two sons. Although Xue Qinghe had some shortcomings, compared with the trash like Xue Beng, his whole body was full of

Shining point.

"Kneel down if you want. Don't wait for Xue Ke all the time. Get up quickly!" He said angrily, "Of course you will be punished! I will punish you to do two things. Are you willing?"

Xue Qinghe supported his younger sister Xue Ke to stand up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Please make it clear, father, that I am willing to be punished."

"Okay," Xue Ye raised a finger, "My first punishment is that you will leave for Beiyuan Province tomorrow and follow Taifu Zhang to explore the water conditions. You will not be allowed to return to Tiandou City until the ice and snow seal the river.

! Along the Tiandou River, take a good look at the sufferings of the people, and take a good look at whether this country is prosperous and strong, or whether it is in the sunset. "

"Yes, Father." Xue Qinghe still lowered his head, and smiled strangely after hearing Emperor Xue Ye's "punishment", but this smile passed quickly and no one noticed it.

"The second penalty..."

Xue Ye did not raise a finger this time, but pointed at Fraser, "I want you to make an engagement with Fraser, and get married immediately after you come back from Beiyuan Province!"

"Ah, this..."

"Your Majesty, I..."

Hearing this "punishment", Xue Qinghe was stunned on the spot, and Fraser stood up abruptly and wanted to refuse. However, Emperor Xue Ye was well prepared and immediately signaled her to stop talking and said: "Fraser, you go first

Don't refuse in a hurry, I will let Qinghe marry you and I will prepare a generous gift for you."

However, Fraser shook his head vigorously and begged: "Your Majesty, in this life, Fraser just wants to be like his father and mother, and find someone who I love and who loves me. His Highness the Crown Prince has such qualities, Fraser

I feel unworthy, and besides, there are so many fine ladies in the world..."

Emperor Xueye interrupted her with a wave of his hand and asked, "Please listen to the gift I have prepared for you first, and then make a decision."

"The first betrothal gift is a right-arm soul bone of a snow demon ape that is about 12,000 years old. As long as you agree, I will cash in the soul bone to you after I announce it to the world tomorrow."

Thousand-year soul bones!

Qian Renxue (Xue Qinghe) couldn't help but be shocked when she heard that Emperor Xue Ye wanted to give a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone as a betrothal gift. She had been lurking in the Tiandou Palace for twelve years and had never heard of any previous princes marrying concubines.

, will use ten thousand year soul bones as a betrothal gift.

And...this is the first betrothal gift, what happens next?

Fraser was also shocked by Emperor Xue Ye's words. As a soul master, she certainly knew what a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone meant. Although it was not the most important torso soul bone and head soul bone among the soul bones, the right

The arm soul bone is also very suitable for her who holds a sword in her right hand, and can greatly improve her fighting ability.

But, is a piece of right arm soul bone worth throwing away her love?

Fraser still wanted to refuse, but he heard Emperor Xue Ye say the second sentence: "The second betrothal gift, restore your title to the king."

Fraser really made up her mind at this time, and she refused: "Your Majesty, the title of a prince is not an honor for Fraser, but a shame! Please find another good match for the prince."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xueye said: "Young man, don't be too impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet. My second betrothal gift is not only to restore your title, but also to restore your fief. What kind of king is your grandfather?

What kind of king are you!"

Fraser didn't believe it, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty's gift is even more generous, but Fraser can't believe it. If your Majesty can really do it, wouldn't Fraser be the queen of Haagen-Dazs now?"

?”

Faced with Fraser's questioning, Xue Ye instead of getting angry, instead smiled at Xue Qinghe and said, "Look at her, and then look at you. She is a fourteen-year-old woman who dares to tell me the truth. What's in her heart, you

But you only know how to kneel, kneel, kneel, and you only know how to compliment me by saying nice things."

"Fraser, the situation on the mainland back then was so complicated that it affected the whole body. I also felt sad for what happened to your Frazier family. To be honest, the reason why I fell in love with you is why I was willing to do these two things.

Such a heavy betrothal gift naturally has a purpose."

"Although ten-thousand-year-old soul bones are valuable, with your cultivation talent, if you can marry Qinghe, it will be worth it. As for restoring your kingship and fiefdom, it is a gamble by me. If the gamble wins, everyone is happy, the gamble

If we lose...then we can only watch the Tiandou Empire continue to weaken."

Advantage After some vague words, Fraser and Xue Qinghe both saw confusion in each other's eyes, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Xue Ye's gourd.

"What exactly does your Majesty want to say? Frasier, please listen. Please make it clear."

Xue Ye did not speak, but woke up Xue Ke who was lying on the table and said, "Ke'er, please go back to the palace. My father will have to talk to your brother the prince and sister Frazier for a long time."

Woolen cloth."

Xue Ke rubbed her groggy eyes and said coquettishly: "Then my father must visit my mother and concubine at night. You haven't been to my mother and concubine for almost a month."

"Okay, I understand."

"And more," Xue Ke poked her head and smiled at Frazier, "I like sister Frazier, and my father must make her my wife-in-law, okay?"

"Okay, I promise you."

"Hee hee, then I'm leaving!" Xue Ke waved towards Xue Qinghe, Fraser, and "floated" out of the garden like the wind.

As soon as Xue Ke left, the smile on Emperor Xue Ye's face also disappeared. He looked at the sky with his hands behind his hands and said faintly: "The mainland has been at peace for twenty years, but the more peaceful it is on the surface, the more peaceful it is secretly.

The waves are turbulent. The eldest prince of Xingluo has already grown up, and there will be another bloody storm in a few years. After the throne is stabilized, it will be the time for them to start a war."

"But Father," Xue Qinghe said cautiously, "Twenty years ago, the Pope of Wuhun Palace stepped forward to stop the war. If war breaks out again, Wuhun Palace will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, right?"

"Martial Soul Hall? Huh! Even though it was Qian Xunji who called off the war twenty years ago, but among the forces in the world, the one most likely to start a war within ten years is this Spirit Hall! The reason for this

, you can think about it for yourself, I am not here to analyze the world’s major events for you today.”

Emperor Xueye turned to look at Fraser and said: "I said that I will restore your title and fiefdom, but not now. This country is declining day by day, and I must have strong men cut off the wrists, dissect the bones and detoxify. Give me another five years,

When the troops are sharpened and their morale is stable, they will send troops to march westward and wipe out all those rebels from twenty years ago!"

"I also promise you that the second child born after your marriage to Qinghe will be the king of Haagen-Dazs. If you have not given birth before, then you will temporarily sit on the throne. If you and Qinghe only have one child,

Son, you can choose one of your clan members, and I will still crown him King of Haagen-Dazs."

"Are you willing to give such a betrothal gift?"
