Realm of Power

Leaving the troubling problems to divert the attention of the Erro people to Emperor Erro to worry about. The Falcon Empire Emperor Dustan, who had just tortured the Erro people, lay half of his body on the bed inside the window of his ship, turning his hands. A blue book. This book was written by the beautiful pope of the Order State before his departure. In order to show his previous recklessness and Apologize, and left it to the Emperor of the Falcon Empire to relieve his boredom on the ship. Under the emperor's confused gaze, the beautiful pope did not say anything, but only said that this book was written by a quite famous scholar when the Holy City still existed. Yes, if Emperor Dostan is really interested in the Aden people, then he should read this book

"Really? Thank you very much"

Emperor Dustan took the book and took a look at it. The decoration of the book was very gorgeous and looked to be quite old. The double buckles used to hold the book were inlaid with two bright red gems. Each rhombus of the gemstone had a kind of color. Dark red, looks like two balls of fire , at first glance, it is the finest sea flame grade ruby. This kind of ruby ​​has always been the favorite collection of nobles and royal families. Being able to use such a gem as a book clasp is indeed worthy of being decorated as a sacred item even if it is an ordinary item. The Order

Turning over the first page at random, what caught Emperor Dustan's eyes was a line of elegant and simple words: "In the eyes of the powerful, life is as light as a feather and as cheap as dung. The "little life" they sang was really a revelation. words from their hearts, but these do not include their own lives"

Lukeya Delores, the fat man silently recited the signature under the words. This must be a woman. Emperor Dustan couldn't help but let out a curse in his heart. During this period, the beautiful pope's eyes were always on the fat man. , but she couldn’t see it on the fat man’s face There was nothing unusual about it, and an inexplicable emotion flashed through her beautiful light blue eyes. It was indeed like this. As expected, this generous gift of mine still could not enter the eyes of a talented and sage emperor, even if it was Luke Yadro. The same goes for Liz's collection.

"The entire Cornelia port is under control. You can do whatever you want, but you need to hurry up. Although I have laid a trap for Emperor Aero, it is hard to say how long it will be able to confuse him." The fat man put down his hand, which was enough to make him The old book that the Pope of the Order State also regarded as a treasure said calmly.

The beautiful pope didn't know how indifferent the Falcon Emperor was to the history of Opalo, and that his thoughts had no effect at all. Otherwise, the Falcon Emperor would definitely be shocked by this famous name, Lukeya Delori. Si, the sixth high priest of the Temple of Aden, the great wise man of Aden, although he is the Ding, but he is definitely a well-known figure in Obaro. In Obaro, no one who knows a little bit about the history of the East Coast can bypass this Lukeya Delores. I don’t know how much. All monarchs long in their hearts to be guided by a wise man like Lukeya Dolores.

As the high priest of the Temple of Aden, in the ten years after the destruction of the Holy City, he led the Aden people among the desert people to take advantage of the opportunity of the open and covert struggle between the Obaro countries and the Holy City to quickly rise in the desert as the Lord of the Desert. , and in the subsequent time, the vast area including the desert and the southern sea coast was integrated to build the foundation of the current Kingdom of Aden. This great wise man of Aden was in it. It played a decisive role. When faced with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it was this great wise man who took the initiative to abandon his old grudges, extended an olive branch to the Aden royal family, and tied the Shangshan Temple and the Aden royal family to a chariot. Only then did the current Kingdom of Aden exist. Even in the decades since the death of this great wise man, the power structure and national policies of the Kingdom of Aden are still moving forward according to the direction of this great wise man.

The meaning of the book that the beautiful pope gave to the fat man is actually a hint that what Lukeya Dolores could do back then, the Order Nation can also do. It is hoped that the Order Nation can form a relationship with the Falcon Empire. A true union, although the Order State has always been suppressed by the Eero people, it still relies on However, it is undoubtedly one of the powerful countries. If it can be combined with the Northern Falcon Empire, it will be of great benefit to the expansion of the Northern Falcon Empire in the south. However, these are completely useless in front of a blind man like Fatty, because Fatty simply cannot I don’t know who this Lukeya Dolores is.

Moreover, according to the fat man's aversion to the interference of divine power, he finally managed to get rid of the Sky Temple's ambition for royal power. How could he accept an ecclesiastical country that was stronger than the Sky Temple and whose church rule was more extreme! Even if it’s a beautiful woman, it won’t work! But Putamiya didn’t know this at all

On the contrary, it was the Falcon Emperor's completely undisguised indifference that caused her cold, watery eyes to ignite with a blazing fire. As an extreme admirer of Lukeya Dolores, Putamia My biggest dream is to become a woman like Lukeya Dolores

But at this moment, Putamiya felt how small the ideal she had always upheld was. No matter how powerful Lukeya Dolores was back then, she only took advantage of the situation and promoted the rise of the Aden people, creating a foundation for divine power and royal power. A path has been explored for coexistence. Compared with the person in front of me who has swept across Europe in just a few years. In the central and northern part of Barrow, the Falcon Emperor, who makes no one in the entire Obarro dare to look directly at him, is still far behind. He is so fierce that no one in the world dares to call him a hero. Only then can he be known as the whip of the gods. The posture that a continental overlord should have. Compared with it, what did Lukeya Dolores back then mean?

The fat man didn't know that his unintentional act had shaken the beautiful pope's ideals as if she were waking up from a dream. He just felt that the way Putamiya looked at him was getting more and more wrong. The look he had before was as cold as autumn water. Now it actually has a bit of a charming and slutty look, and it even looks weird. Before boarding a dragon-class battleship heading to the Port of Cornelia, he gave himself a very respectful salute. The two of them were face to face and very close to each other. When the beautiful pope lowered his waist, for the first time, the fat man unexpectedly From the neckline of the beautiful pope, who was half-bent and as white as a swan, I saw a piece of snow-white trembling.

Is this a benefit?

The fat man is not an inexperienced fool, not to mention that the beautiful pope's attitude is not right. Even a fool can feel it. Look or look? Isn’t this nonsense! Such a beauty is also a pope. Her hair is slightly dished, and the hair is loose on the back of her head. The flying snow strands are dotted on her hair, adding a rare wind and frost beauty to her pretty face, until the beautiful pope straightens up. waist, the fat man dug out at least twenty eyes until the dragon who transported him The battleship completely disappeared on the sea, and the fat man withdrew his gaze with some hesitation and licked his lips. "He ordered the fleet to go south. The battle plan has been changed, and the fleet will withdraw immediately!" The fat man turned around and gave an order to the navy, with a cold expression on his face. , like the cold wind in the valley,

"Tell the Imperial Bank to mobilize all available forces to completely cut off the food purchase channels in Erault. From now on, I won't be able to enter Erault even if I want a grain of grain!" The fat man handed over the order he had written long ago behind him. Guards, the second order is to the Imperial Bank. Since a rift has begun to open up between Emperor Eero and the nobles, it is natural to add salt to the wound.

As the mastermind behind countless chambers of commerce in the south, the Imperial Bank had already begun to monitor the economic trends in the country half a year ago. A targeted report on the Héro royal family’s issuance of war bonds in order to raise military expenses had long been placed on the Fat Man’s desk. However, because he was not familiar with the domestic situation of Hérault, the fat man just ordered to wait and see what happens, but he also asked the Imperial Bank to start making arrangements to gradually weaken the funds shipped to Hérault. In the grain trade, the Eero Empire took over and competed with the Kingdom of Aden for Cornelia, using millions of troops. No matter what the final result was, in such a large-scale national war, the first crisis to break out must be in the grain field, because It has been obtained intermittently from trade, so Eero has not yet shown a sense of urgency. Once it is completely cut off, the Eero army will collapse on Cornelia's side!

The carrier pigeon carrying the emperor's order soon flew into the white clouds above the fleet. The water under the blue sky was very gentle. The Eero army on the shore was already evacuating in an orderly manner. The base camp issued an evacuation order. It was said that it was because of the attack. As a result, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and had already dismissed two generals.

During this period, the book in the fat man's hand turned to the seventh page. The content in front of it was very little, just some praises about God. It was obvious that the people who wrote these words were very pious, and the words inside and outside were full of the so-called Thanks to God, I am already interested in religious books Queque, it was only Putamiya who said that he could understand Aden from here, so the fat man had the patience to read on. The result was very disappointing. He finished the entire book and did not remember the name of the god of the Aden people until On the seventh page, the unusually thick page made the fat man’s fingers stop.

The pages of the entire book are very thick because the entire book is made of a kind of papyrus from the Obaro region in the south. This kind of rough paper is formed by rolling incomplete plant stems many times. Although it is very durable, the thickness is three to four times thicker than ordinary paper, so the whole book actually only has a dozen pages, but the thickness is as thick as a This is a small dictionary. The reason why the fat man stopped was because the seventh page showed signs of being opened. Although the person who opened it concealed it very cleverly, I don’t know whether it was because of the long distance or because the adhesive had lost its effect. , the signs of two layers of book pages being superimposed were very obvious, and even with a light pinch of the fingers, the first layer on the surface was rubbed off.

The second layer that was revealed actually also had writing written on it.

"I have come to a new and strange world. I don't know whether I should call it lucky or unfortunate for my arrival..." "If you want to build a huge unified country across the continent, you must get enough funds. And here everyone Oasis are like independent small countries, and the overall security is difficult to maintain; in addition, each oasis country often levies transaction taxes and toll taxes arbitrarily, all of which pose a threat to merchants..."

"Leaving aside loyalty and obedience, currently in the desert, no one can keep pace with me in terms of ability. Countries are still in a semi-permanent state of war. There is no doubt that such a situation cannot guarantee business. Businessmen We have high hopes for the monarchs of various places, but the Their insatiable greed has disappointed them. Therefore, a new monarch who has a unified religious belief, can build a strong military force, and understands the importance of east-west trade naturally becomes the best candidate for their support... Aden, with its long coastline, is undoubtedly That’s the kind of person”

This Lukeya Dolores is indeed an amazing person. She not only uses Aden to attract merchants to obtain a large amount of funds, but also obtains intelligence, weapons and manufacturing technology, food, translation, and taxation information provided by the merchants. , assisted in its conquest of the entire desert area. In addition to purely military operations, it also used the influence of the temple to eventually make three small and medium-sized kingdoms vassals of the Aden royal family. The Aden Kingdom became the leading powerful country in the desert area.

On pages 8 to 10, Fatty saw the first paragraph of the written text, "In the eyes of the powerful, the lives of others are as light as feathers and as cheap as dung. The "little lives" they sing are actually They speak from the bottom of their hearts, but their own lives are not included! As for the so-called "temporary price", In fact, it is useless even if it is all, because whether it is the royal family or the temple, it is the powerful who share the interests in their pockets with a smile. Who will really care about the life and death of those little people? "Such words are not what a religious *oss should say, What the fat man saw was a woman who was full of anger towards the royal family and the temple.

The fat man's face had become solemn. Sure enough, on the next page, he didn't find the mezzanine. It was full of respectful words again.

Lukeya Dolores, who dared to question and criticize Fang Qiu, seemed to have suddenly become an ordinary pious person again. The whole article was full of respect for the gods, with a sense of groveling and groveling. She no longer had the cheerful style before. On page 16, the fat man closed the book with a heavy face. He was already disappointed and didn't want to read any more. The following few pages There was no mezzanine on the page, and the outstanding Lukeya Dolores disappeared completely. Fatty felt a sense of regret in his heart, knowing that there would be no more in the future. Founding a country based on merchants, it seems that there were already people like this in Aden back then. You have done it, and it has been successful, but if you just completely place your hope on the monarch, it will usually not end well.

I'm afraid the same goes for Lukeya Dolores. The most likely reason was that she was secretly executed by the temple and the royal family, and they just found a puppet to continue acting, just like the prophet Ferran was exiled back then. The reason why he is able to achieve such success is entirely because he holds the power of the empire, instead of following the thorny path of the previous two who sought cooperation with the king.
