Start with Island Lord

Nightless Palace.

The Queen's government study.

"The upper-class sun elf, the sixth generation direct descendant of the sun god Osela, Brian Traudlins, am I not mistaken?"

In front of a group of assistant clerks and trusted maids, Zoya revealed Brian's disguise in an indifferent tone.

Brian's face was calm and he smiled slightly: "It seems that Your Majesty is quite familiar with the situation of my elf."

As he spoke, he removed his hidden magic disguise and revealed his true appearance.

Zoya responded with a deadpan expression on her face: "I know all the enemies of the empire very well."

"Including Wei Lan, Your Majesty?"

"Including Weilan, of course."

"Then, you should know everything about Duke Weilan. You should also know that this Duke has not only obtained the power of legend, but has also made considerable achievements in the field of legend."

Zoya knew clearly the purpose of this upper elf's visit, and she raised her hand to interrupt the other person's words.

"The Battle of Gunthers, because of your despicable and shameless sneak attack, our country lost 30,000 heroic soldiers."

"It's a mercy that I didn't execute you on the spot. Don't talk to me anymore. Just say what you have to say, elf."

Due to the mutual hostility between the two countries, Brian no longer turned back.

"Your Majesty, I think that Duke Weilan is the common enemy of our two countries. Perhaps we should join forces on this matter to eradicate him."

Zoya sneered: "Our country will deal with Duke Weilan, but we will never join forces with the enemy!"

Brian immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think you should carefully consider my opinion. After all, judging from the geographical situation, the rise of the Natural Alliance will actually be of great benefit to our country."

"But there is a powerful enemy behind your country out of thin air. Maybe the Duke issued the so-called announcement, but I ask you to think about it. If our army has been restraining your country's power on the Western Front, wouldn't he seize this opportunity?" An excellent opportunity to unify the Natural Alliance?"

"You know, this does not violate his announcement. After all, he did not cooperate with our country. He just seized the good opportunity of the international situation."

Zhuo Ya's willow eyebrows turned into sword eyebrows: "Are you threatening me?"

"No, just stating a fact, Your Majesty."

Zoya smiled coldly: "Mr. Brian, you probably didn't read Duke Quan's announcement."

"This extremely talented Duke made it clear that once our country's western front is attacked, he will never stab us in the back. He is more willing to form an alliance with our country to fight against you elves."

"Weilan's power may not be strong enough, but there are many new weapons with amazing power."

"The Duke may take advantage of your attack to unify the Natural Alliance, but the coalition formed by our country and the Natural Alliance will definitely inflict heavy losses on you on the battlefield!"

"Even if we die a hundred thousand or even a million warriors, we can still bear it. It will only take twenty years to recover as before. But if you elves die a million people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover within hundreds of years, right?"

Brian listened quietly, his brows frowning subconsciously, because he knew the queen was right.

But he is by no means someone who gives up easily.

After Zhuo Ya finished speaking, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if the Natural Alliance rises, the Radiant Empire may not be its opponent."

Zhuo Ya smiled quietly: "Whether he is an opponent or not, you can't tell with your mouth!"

"Okay, you talkative elf, get out of here before my patience runs out!"

The assistant clerks in the study looked at Brian with indifferent eyes, and the guard at the door of the study also turned his head and looked over, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The hostility between the Glorious Empire and the Holy Elf Empire is more than just words, there is a blood debt behind it.

Brian felt a huge psychological pressure, but he didn't give up yet.

"Your Majesty, is this the view of the Lord of Glory?"

"My opinion is my grandfather's opinion!"

"I don't think so."

Anger instantly appeared on Zhuo Ya's face: "Guards, hang this alien who is stirring up trouble."

Before she could say anything, her grandfather's words suddenly came to her mind: "Don't worry, let him come to see me."

Zoya was shocked: "Grandpa, elves are the real threat to the empire, and they are greater than the threat of the natural alliance."

"I know, so you drove him out of the palace on the surface to let people know that we didn't cooperate with the elves, but you brought him to see me privately."

Zhuo Ya's hands hidden in her sleeves subconsciously clenched into fists, but she still agreed submissively: "Yes, grandfather."

She changed her order: ".Drive him out of the Nightless Palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A group of guards entered the study and forcibly dragged Brian out.

Brian didn't make any resistance, just stared at Zoya with his blue and gold-lined eyes. As he watched, a secret smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Zhuo Ya felt this hidden smile and felt very upset in her heart.

But she still had to endure this boredom and quietly ordered her confidant maid to arrange for the elf to meet her grandfather in private.

About an hour later, the confidant maid came back and reported: "Your Majesty, I have been sent to the Shadowless Palace, and I am having a secret conversation with Your Majesty."

It was clear as day that there was nothing to talk about at all, it was just a question of route selection.

She chose to keep a distance from the foreign races, and even if Duke Weilan took advantage of the situation, she would still suppress the elves.

But my grandfather seemed to have other ideas.

He chose to keep a distance from the elves on the surface to deal with public opinion, and cooperated with the elves in private to seek benefits.

At first glance, this doesn't seem like a big deal.

At least in thirty years, it won’t be a big problem.

But times have changed.

Zoya believes that in today's era, if her grandfather continues to do this, not only will there be big problems, but he may even step into the strategic trap set by Duke Weilan!

The empire and the elves have a deep hatred, and the blood feud in the Gunthus Mountains has not yet been avenged.

Both the official and the private sector have a strong hatred for elves.

At this time, the two sides cooperated in private and jointly planned to kill their fellow clan members. Once the news leaked to the public, the reputation of the Glory Royal Family would drop like an avalanche.

As the royal family's reputation declines, the faith of the Glory Divine Religion will inevitably decline as well, and the legitimacy of the Glory Royal Family's rule over the empire will be shaken.

Perhaps my grandfather felt that as long as he concealed the matter well enough so that no one knew about it, he could escape the moral judgment of the people.

But today's communications are very advanced, the number of mages is unprecedentedly large, and there are countless spying eyes.

The most terrifying thing is that Duke Weilan will never sit back and watch.

Zoya was 100% sure that Duke Weilan would be keeping an eye on them. Once he discovered that they were cooperating with the elves, he would definitely find ways to collect evidence and then make it public at the right time.

Once this situation occurs, it will be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Glorious Royal Family!

When the time comes, the Natural Alliance will share the same hatred, and the Glorious Countries will also break away from them!

"no!"

"I can never watch my grandfather make a big mistake!"

Zhuo Ya couldn't stay still and quickly left along the back door of the study, rushing towards her grandfather's Shadowless Palace.

The Nightless Palace was extremely huge, and it took her more than a quarter of an hour to reach the end.

When she ran to the entrance of the Shadowless Palace, she saw that her grandfather had personally sent the elf Brian to the entrance of the palace, and the two were still talking and laughing.

Zhuo Ya's eyes narrowed: 'Grandpa is really too careless. ’

Even if this is the Shadowless Palace, it must be hidden!

She also saw that her grandfather had a very hearty smile on his face. She hadn't seen him smile so heartily for a long time, and Brian also had a smile on his face.

Soon, both sides saw each other.

Zoya saw that her grandfather stopped smiling the moment he saw her, while the smile on the elf's face became even stronger, even with a hint of ridicule.

He seemed to be saying: 'Look, you're just a butler, it's ridiculous that you want to be the master of your master. ’

Zoya didn't want the elf to get too proud, so she made herself appear as calm as possible.

Waiting for the elf to be sent away, she heard her grandfather's voice.

"Zhuo Ya, what are you doing here in such a hurry?"

His voice was cold, completely devoid of the kindness of the past, as if he was speaking to a stranger.

Zoya immediately realized that her grandfather's kindness was earned by her obedience, and once she started to contradict the aloof imperial master, he would immediately forget all blood ties and put on a cold mask of power.

At this point, her best response is to remain submissive.

But after all, Zoya had been the uncompromising queen for 40 years, and her neck had become somewhat stiffer. Even when facing her grandfather, she still couldn't lower her head.

"Grandpa, do you plan to cooperate with the elves?"

"Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it myself."

Zhuo Ya looked around and saw no one around, so she immediately lowered her voice and asked: "Grandpa, the risk of doing this is too great. Once leaked, it will cause huge consequences!"

The Lord of Glory's face instantly sank: "Zhuo Ya, didn't you hear me clearly? Don't worry about this!"

"Grandpa!" Zhuo Ya whispered, trying to suppress the irritability in her heart.

The Lord of Glory stared at his granddaughter coldly: "Why, do you really think you are the master of this empire?"

Zhuo Ya felt cold all over and immediately lowered her head: "No, Grandpa, I just want to explain my views to you."

"I know what you think, Brian told me."

"I'm telling you clearly now, our human race can only have one master!"

"As long as I live, this master must be me!"

"If I can't be this master, then whether the human race is great or weak has nothing to do with me!"

"Do you understand, my granddaughter?"

"Understood, Grandpa."

"Very well, continue to run this empire for me."

After saying this, the Lord of Glory turned and returned to the Shadowless Palace, leaving the empress of the empire alone at the gate of the palace.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was setting in the west. The slightly reddish sunlight shone on the Queen, casting a long shadow.

The queen paused for a long time, then turned and left.

The moment she turned around, she lowered her eyes, her dark pupils becoming bottomless, and in the deepest part of her soul, an idea emerged.

"The empire's current glory is the result of forty years of hard work!"

"I can't just watch my grandfather ruin everything!"

"Perhaps my doing this will make Brian smile even more proudly, and it will also fall into Duke Willan's plan, but since my grandfather can cooperate with foreign races, why can't I ask for help from my own race?"

Having been in charge of the empire for forty years, she certainly has her own absolute confidants, one of whom is her cousin Irene who lives far away in Weiland.

At ten o'clock that night, through a secret channel known only to her and Irene, she communicated her decision.

After Irene got the news, she immediately contacted Rosen quietly through a secret communication device.

Rosen was waiting.

He immediately went to see Irene in secret and handed her a carefully crafted legendary magic weapon.

"Give it to Her Majesty in secret and tell her that everything she needs to advance to the legendary level, including the secret method of hiding her power, is all in the magic weapon."

The magic weapon is disposable and fool-proof. It is designed for the specific situation of the Queen and cannot be used by anyone other than the Queen, so he is not worried about knowledge leakage.

"Tell Her Majesty again that for the common interests of the human race, if she needs my help, I will do my best!"

Irene left with a solemn expression.

Rosen watched her leave and thought to himself: "The seeds sprouted so quickly."

When he buried the seeds, he knew that they would definitely sprout, it was just a matter of time.

Because there can't be two tigers in one mountain.

But the germination was so fast, which means that Zhuoya had been dissatisfied with the Lord of Light for a long time, but she just didn't have the confidence to resist.

"I just don't know when it will bear fruit."

To be honest, letting the Queen really take power is not a completely good thing.

Because Queen Zhuoya is a truly ambitious person.

After she takes the throne, the Natural Alliance will definitely have a very tough opponent in the future.

But a tough opponent is much stronger than an opponent with no bottom line.

"Now, I will wait for the day of the result. Well~ I can almost go to see the Godly Father."

This old opponent of the Lord of Light should also come out again, so that the Lord of Light will not keep staring at him.
