Realm of Power

"What's the matter? Since you have the courage to propose using money to buy back the capital of the King of Elro, haven't you ever thought about becoming the Royal Family of Ello?"

The black-haired young man's eyes were extremely deep, reminiscent of the stars in the night sky. When he saw Atrice with a dull look on his face, he continued with an inexplicable smile, "For the empire, the current Eero royal family is just an empty space." Shell, that is to say, anyone can become the Eero royal family, this is just a deal."

"It's different. If you want to become the Eero royal family, it's not enough to just take back the Eero royal capital. You must also have proof of royal power, the Eye of God." Atrice was sure that the other party's understanding of the Eero royal family was too superficial. She said with a wry smile. Although the other party just said this casually, Atrice felt the other party's extremely strong self-confidence, as if she really wanted to make a final decision on the ownership of the Eero royal family.

"Eye of God?" The black-haired young man looked slightly startled. This name is very familiar.

"Yes, the first generation of kings of Aero came to the throne holding the Eye of God. The Eye of God represents the unification of power in the north and south of Aero." Atrice thought that the black-haired young man did not know what the Eye of God was. Explained to the black-haired young man, "It is a huge gem that emits white light, no matter day or night." , can be immortal for a long time. The top of the Holy City Hall illuminated the fields for more than ten miles and rebuilt civilization in a wasteland. It is said that the greatest function of the Eye of God is to change the climate. The Holy City was able to be established on a windswept wasteland because The Eye of God, and in Hérault, the Eye of God represents the North and South Hérault”

"Day and night, eternal... I heard that it has been sold by the Eero royal family?"

The black-haired young man seemed to have thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and asked, pretending not to know, how could he forget that someone had stolen this thing from the treasury of the Eero royal family on the Fezer Coast and ran to the Fezer Coast. It was auctioned at the auction house, and was finally bought by Edmond Mountain for half a million imperial gold before the auction. At that time, the former Princess of Hérault, Angelo, personally inspected it. Could it be said that even Angelo looked away? Or did the Aero royal family prepare fakes in order to prevent the southern princes from knowing that the Eye of God was lost?

"What the royal family sold was just a fake, and the real thing has always been in the hands of the royal family."

Atrice said with a serious face, "The Eye of God is the symbol of the royal power of Erro. ​​It comes from the most mysterious and powerful Holy City. The Holy City was originally located in the location of the Erro branch, not in the north, but in the south. At that time, the north of Erro was far away. It is not as fertile as it is now, but the south, because the Holy City has placed the Eye of God in the Eero branch for more than ten years, allowing the south of Eero to The climate is gradually becoming warmer and humid, and the flood areas of large rivers can be predicted every year, allowing the south to know the scope of the flood areas more accurately and prepare for reclamation in advance. The south has bumper harvests every year, and Hero percent Eighty percent of the population is gathered in the south, and every southern Eloman is a true fanatical believer in the Holy City."

"If it hadn't been for the catastrophe that destroyed the south, and if the capital of the Eero Kingdom had still stayed in the south, I believe that the Eero Empire would never have collapsed with just one blow. This is the Holy City's punishment for the betrayers."

Atrice said word by word. She has a beautiful appearance and a pair of big bright eyes. Although her skin is a bit black due to the southern climate, it is delicate and gives people a satin-like feeling. At this moment, in this exotic and delicate , even more fanatical and pious, looking like two red clouds covering the earth

It can be seen that the climate in the south is indeed harsh, so the worse the environment, the more people worship the gods. The south, which once had a large wetland environment, suddenly turned into a desolate and barren desert area. A large number of southerners moved northward. Even the Héro royal family chose to abandon the south. As those who were left behind, this resentment became even more obvious.

We have basically figured out what the Eye of God is. The black-haired emperor's face is a little pale. The Eye of God should be some kind of radioactive gem. This kind of thing should be buried as deep as possible. Only people in this era who don't know what to buy will do it. It is worshiped as a god. Of course, there is another possibility. The Eye of God is not only a radioactive item, but also a certain The source of energy for growing things. Thinking of this, the black-haired young man couldn't help but flash into the mind of the towering black mountain that stands like a cloud in the Holy City of the Order. It was the most powerful weapon in the Holy City, a weapon capable of destroying everything. The Holy City was originally What the priest group has gone through all kinds of hardships to pursue is this weapon of God. Such a weapon naturally requires a powerful energy source.

The Eye of God is not just used for this, right?

This is interesting. The black-haired emperor seemed to laugh at himself. Regardless of the purpose of the Eye of God, just the ownership of the Eye of God is a mystery. Pudamia said that the Eye of God is the branch of Erro. She snatched it from the priests who fled the Holy City, but Atrice said that the Eye of God itself belonged to the Eero branch, and that the Eero branch could change the climate in the south of Eero, that is, it used the Eye of God. Who is lying! Or the flood in the south of Héro 80 years ago may have been caused by the Eye of God out of control. If the Eye of God had been destroyed, what did the Héro royal family use to pretend to be the Eye of God?

It is not easy to find a substitute for this kind of thing, or is there more than one Eye of God?

"How many Eyes of God are there in total?" The black-haired young man suppressed the trembling in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"It can be called eyes, so naturally there are two." A look of confusion appeared on Atrice's beautiful face, but she still answered the question extremely respectfully, "Otherwise, how can it represent the upper and lower Eero?" Her eyes sparkled, She didn't notice the stiff face of the other party. From her point of view, as a southerner from Elo, this was an answer that even a three-year-old child knew. Even if the other person was not from Elo, the entire southern European Barrow knew that the Eye of God had two! But the other person’s look is so weird

"Well, I feel like I asked a stupid question and was crushed by my IQ."

The black-haired emperor twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment. There was more than one eye of god. Why no one had ever told him? In fact, he couldn't blame other people, because this was a fact known to most people in Barrow, Southern Europe. Saint The city's Eye of God represents the two poles of power, one represents gift and the other represents punishment. Moreover, the black-haired emperor subjectively regarded the Eye of God as some kind of radioactive source, but he never thought that the radioactive source is not one, but It's two... I heard that the emperors of Aero had to do it every year During the ceremony, the God's Eye was taken out. Although it is no longer used, it was a pretense to show that the royal family still controlled the God's Eye, in order to pray for fertility for Elo. One set was used for three or four hours, and it was held in each hand for three or four hours. With a radioactive source, directly exposed to radiation without any protection, it is no wonder that the longest Emperor of Eero lived was forty-five years old, and many died under the age of forty. , in the short eighty-year history of the Ero Empire, it has already experienced six generations of emperors.

"What will happen if you take back the capital of Elro, but the Royal Family of Elro can't get the Eye of God? Or, in other words, can only take out one?" The black-haired young man was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said coldly with a solemn face. said,

"this……"

Atrice's pretty face was slightly stunned, and she immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words. Thinking of that possibility, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, her upright chest trembled slightly, and it looked like it was also turbulent, and her own How could this secret meeting turn out like this? I just wanted to spend money to buy back the capital of Elro, but now I feel that I have participated in a conspiracy that can change the entire Elro. This water is very deep, Atrice. I'm also hesitating whether to step in or not.

"If the Kentam family buys back the Elo royal capital, the Kentam family and the Elo royal family will be mortal enemies. This kind of royal power struggle can only lead to life and death. Since your Kentam family has such a move, hesitation is seeking death. !" The black-haired young man glanced at her like a knife, and smiled coldly. The words he spoke were like thunder exploding in Atrice's ears.

Atrice's pretty face changed. The other party was right. There can only be one member of the Eero royal family.

In order to reduce the pressure and at the same time encourage the southern princes of Hérault to attack with all their strength, the Hérault royal family promised that whoever takes the Hérault capital will become the new emperor. In fact, everyone knows that this is the Hérault royal family's excuse to maintain their status. Taking back the capital of Ero will inevitably lead to a bloody battle with the empire. With the current Southern princes having their own agenda, it is just a dream to take back the capital of Ero, so this is a empty promise.

But if the Kentam family takes back the capital of Héro, will the Héro royal family really be willing to let Marquis Kentam become the emperor? Impossible, this is a battle for royal power. Even if this Crown of Eero has lost the glory it should have, it is still a crown. On this crown, how many people have fought and shed blood, how many families have fallen and risen. Knowing whether he was really cursed by the Holy City, the Sixth Emperor of Eero , no generation of emperors is obtained through normal inheritance, because each generation of emperors is very short-lived, with a long life of more than ten years and a short life of only two or three years. Therefore, the competition between the princes becomes more and more fierce, and eventually they are killed. There is no one who sits on the throne who is not a ruthless person with blood on his hands.

Every time there is a change of royal power and a new emperor ascends the throne, there will be a great purge

From this point of view, the southern princes are lucky. They don't have to walk on thin ice in the purge of imperial power. They don't have to be killed, exiled or expelled because they are on the wrong team. But that doesn't mean they can't see it! If they can't seize the Achilles' heel of the Royal Family, even if the Kentam family takes back the capital of the Eero Kingdom, they still won't be able to ascend the throne of the Eero Emperor! Because even if the Eero royal family doesn't say anything, those southern princes will never admit it.

"The Empire is the only one that can support the Kentam family in ascending to the throne of Elro." "And it is also the only force that can make the southern princes of Elro agree to this matter, so why are you still hesitating!" Black The hair-haired young man looked at Atrice, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, and gently flicked the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

Atrice's face turned red and she bit her lip with her teeth. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength and said, "Without the Eye of God, the Royal Family of Elro will be spurned by all the people of Elro, because the Royal Family of Elro is in Ello." He is the servant of the Eye of God. It is the Eye of God that gives the Royal Family of Eero the power to control the upper and lower Eero. Without the Eye of God, the Royal Family of Eero will not be able to recognize the new emperor, and the Royal Family of Eero will no longer have any power."

"That's easy to handle. I believe that the Eye of God will be lost." The black-haired young man smiled slightly. The inexplicable feeling of confidence made Atrice almost have an illusion. It seemed that the other party could really make the Eye of God lose. The eye is missing, but it is the eye of God. The eye of God that the Elro royal family sees is more important than their own eyes.

"The Eye of God rarely appears except during harvest sacrifices and the emperor's accession to the throne, and for decades, the Aero royal family should have so-called "spare supplies."

Atrice reminded the other party with a slightly trembling voice, "So even if you are extremely capable and stole the Eye of God from the protection of the Elro royal family, it is not easy to prove that the Elro royal family has neglected its duty. Although there is no evidence that the Elo royal family has neglected its duties. The Luo royal family has a fake of the Eye of God, but it definitely exists, because in history, the Order State once sent people to steal the Eye of God, and it turned out to be a fake."

"This is not a problem at all. I naturally have a way to make everyone believe that the real Eye of God has been lost and that the Eye of God in the hands of the Eero royal family is fake." The black-haired emperor's eyes flashed and he waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay, but how did you get the Eero royal family to take the initiative to take out the Eye of God?" The other party's strong self-confidence made Atrice dare not refute, but Atrice said that the Eye of God, a powerful weapon of royal power, The Aero royal family usually does not show it, let alone the current weakening of the royal family. The Eye of God is the royal family's trump card in the final negotiation, and it will not be easily revealed in front of everyone.

"This is very simple. If the Eero royal family knows that the Kentam family wants to use money to buy back the capital of Eero, and the empire declares that it supports the Kentam family to become the new emperor of Eero, what do you think the Eero royal family will do?" The black-haired young man stood up from his seat and came to the side glass window. He put his hands behind his back and stared at the sky-blue spire of the Sky Temple in the center of the city. The words he spoke slowly in his voice made Atrice's whole body shake. Stayed

Atrice felt a cold air rising up from her back, and she couldn't help but breathe quickly. Who was the other party? She just said a casual sentence. They were still discussing cooperation before, so she turned around and asked Kentam The family has been sold, and the news that the Kentam family has bought back the capital of Elro has been sent back. It’s not an earthquake, but this method is so cruel that people can’t resist it.

By then, the southern princes will definitely be in chaos, and if the Elo royal family does not want to fulfill its previous promise, the only way is to use the eyes of God to speak out. It is most likely that the Elo royal family will use the eyes of God to veto the Kentam family. Become the new emperor! Because without the Eye of God, the Kentam family would not be able to become the Emperor of Eero.

And if the Eye of God happens to be lost, in order to deal with it, the Elo royal family can only use the spare false Eye of God! If it is proven that the Eye of God is fake again, then... Atrice almost doesn't dare to think about it.

"That's it. This meeting ends here. I will send someone to contact you." The black-haired young man turned around
