Sword of Daybreaker

After listening to the report of the maid chief Diana, Rosetta ’s already serious and gloomy expression on his face seemed to be a bit darker than before, but he said nothing, but just answered indifferently: "I know- Work hard, go on. "

Diana nodded and took a graceful step back, her figure gradually disappearing into a field of curved light.

"Father and Emperor," Matilda couldn't help looking at his father. "Is the information mentioned by Diana ... reliable?"

"Diana will not make mistakes in this kind of thing, unless the Ares Church has woven a huge net enough to cover all the eyes and ears of the royal family to deceive the wanderers." Rosetta said indifferently.

"... So the Church of God of War really had a big problem, and Malm Dunit was deliberately concealing us ..." Matilda said in a somewhat complicated tone, and she could hear the sadness in her emotions, "The entire Great Church Are hiding us ... "

"Before being your elder and my friend, Malm was first the pope of the God of War, so before being loyal to the royal family and friends, he was first loyal to his own god," Rosetta said quietly, as if he had already expected In all of this, "any devout believer will be like this ... when the divine power and the imperial power exist at the same time and there are differences of interests, this is an inevitable situation."

Matilda noticed that her father's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but she hadn't asked her before, and she heard the other person suddenly ask something else: "Have you not shown up on the side of Parliament yet?"

"Not yet," Matilda thought of the rest of the itinerary today, and remembered the several bills on the side of the parliament that he had to come forward to hear. He nodded and answered, "I'm preparing to go."

"Let's go early--preservation is decent for the royal family, not late."

Matilda glanced at his father, said nothing, but bowed back: "... Yes, the emperor."

The garden was quiet again, and Matilda's breath was gone. There was only Rosetta Augustus, who was standing quietly in Lanye Matsushita. The Tifeng ruler lowered his head and looked at the flowerbed in front of him— The growth of this flower garden is not very good. Although the precious flowers and trees are doing their best to stretch the flowering branches, the signs of poor growth still clearly appear on the plants.

"Diana," Rosetta said suddenly to the air next to him. "What do you think of Matilda?"

In the slight magic fluctuation, the figure of the dark-haired maid Diana emerged quietly. She didn't go far, but she had some kind of superb breath control ability that made her seem to have left the garden, even ignoring the keen sense Tilda's eyes.

The maidservant bowed her head slightly and said with respect: "I should not comment on your heir, Your Majesty."

"How did you learn the hypocrisy of humans?" Rosetta raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile. "This is not a public occasion. Matilda grew up watching you personally." . "

The dark-haired maid remained silent for less than two seconds, and then answered: "... As a human, Matilda has excellent talent, outstanding intelligence, a sharp eye beyond his age, and can well accept what has appeared in recent years. New things, at the same time she has a great influence in the middle and lower nobles of the empire and the new powers-but she does not control the conservatives very well. In this regard, she is obviously not as skilled as you. "

"The common problem of young people-she is not good at hiding her tendency," Rosetta nodded. "I also have a responsibility. I am too concerned about the governance of the country and building my own order system, so that I can not put Matilda. He and Hadron have cultivated good enough, if not the two children are diligent themselves, their precious talents will be wasted. "

"'Cultivation' does not allow humans to fully mature. The areas involved in experience require individuals to sum up and comprehend themselves," Diana said bluntly. "You have not received enough training before becoming an emperor, but the fact Prove that you are far better than the kind of elaborate heirs. "

Rosetta was silent for a while and shook her head with a smile: "There are some words that only you dare to say directly."

"This is the answer that is most in line with the facts and most in the interest of the country," Diana replied in a soft but not emotionally fluctuating tone. "So I didn't understand Prince Malik and Fabro and Coleman Rooney. The choice of the two dukes. "

"Because humans are not machines, we are always full of variables. It is an extravagance to let humans keep reason forever," Rosetta shook his head gently, then he suddenly looked at the dark-haired maid beside him, his expression became quite Solemnly, "You will still be loyal to Tifeng's next king, right?"

"As long as I can continue to provide services," Diana said meticulously, "This is a contract that has been made since the ancestors of the Augustus family took me and provided the necessary repairs."

"I believe this contract, you are far more reliable than humans in this respect," Rosetta smiled, then waved his hand. "We won't discuss these anymore, and talk about the rumored news circulating in the city recently, what is it worth? Are you concerned? "

"There are no noticeable changes in the folk, but from two days ago, there was some unusual news from the Master Association," the black-haired maid said. "The masters said that something was wrong when they prayed to the magic goddess. Their Prayer has lost feedback, and it seems that the last trace of the goddess of magic to the mortal world has disappeared. "

"Goddess of Magic?" Rosetta couldn't help frowning. "How come even the Goddess of Magic is in a situation ..."

Then he glanced at Diana: "What is Ms. Windsor Maple doing?"

"She is gathering feedback from the mages and organizing manpower for testing-because the mages have not formed a religious group, it is difficult to define who should investigate the abnormal situation of the magical goddess, so she should eventually find you to report the situation . "

Rosetta's expression was somber and serious. When Diana's words fell, she was already in deep thought. At this moment, a new breath entered the Royal Garden.

Diana looked in the direction of the biological reaction. A moment later, a senior servant wearing a dark blue blouse appeared at the end of the cobblestone path.

"Your Majesty," the senior attendant bowed to Rosetta Augustus, "the 'special line' from the Cecil Empire, with a royal stamp."

"Dedicated line communication?" Rosetta suddenly showed a serious expression. "Bring the letter."

Dedicated line communication is a new thing that emerged based on modern communication technology after Matilda completed her mission to Cecil and established further diplomatic relations between the two countries. Unlike the "national book" that required long delivery and complicated diplomatic procedures in order to pass between the rulers of the two countries (sometimes this "delivery" may even take up to several months) It is a "letter" that relies on the communication of the Cecil Empire's Magic Network and the communication tower of the Tifeng Empire.

A "letter" like this comes from the source, and is automatically forwarded through layers of magic network nodes or communication tower nodes in the middle. It only needs a small amount of manual intervention to reach the destination quickly. Counting the necessary manual forwarding time and At the end of the transcript and delivery time, the entire process takes less than an hour, compared with the old communication efficiency is almost a conceptual level of improvement.

Rosetta took the letter handed over from the attendant. This was a "copy" printed from the communication tower of the Obsidian Palace less than half an hour ago. The paper also smelled of ink. The top of the letterhead was Tiefon's royal coat of arms, and the emblem of the Cecil royal family can be seen at the bottom.

The ruler of Tiffin remembered what he had talked about when he discussed the new communication technology with Windsor and Daniel in the last time-if only from a technical perspective, the efficiency of communication between Tifeng and Cecil could actually be further improved , As long as those useless manual links are connected, and the technology of the communication tower is completely upgraded and replaced, then the rulers of the two countries may even make direct calls without delay. This sounds like a miracle from the magic technology. It works, but it prevents it from being realized ... It is just the conservative nobles and traditional mages who still hold most of the dividends of the communication tower.

The main topic to be held on the parliament today is about the upgrading of communication technology-just like yesterday ’s meeting, today ’s dispute may still not have any result.

Moderate discussions and voting will not solve the problem of the distribution of interests between the old and new groups. There are usually only two best ways to shut up the old forces, either wait for them to die, or use the wheels of new things to directly rub their faces-and Run past without stopping.

It is hoped that the young Matilda will realize this clearly after facing the chaotic council.

Rosetta shook his head, temporarily throwing irrelevant things behind his head. His eyes fell on the text of the letterhead. Just after reading two lines, his brows were subconsciously wrinkled.

This letter was issued in the name of Govin Cecil, and the above content was straightforward--

"To my neighbors and friends, I have learned of some very disturbing conditions recently, and it may even affect Tifeng, a thousand miles away-my mages reported that the goddess of magic seems to have disappeared. ... "

Rosetta took a slow breath, and he glanced at the standby attendant next to him. The latter immediately grasped the intention, bowed silently, and backed away from the garden. Then he took back his eyes and continued to look down:

"... This may be a sign of a certain large-scale incident. As neighbors of our country are closely connected, I think it is necessary for us to share intelligence on such matters, not only for the friendly relations between the two countries, but also considering The future of mankind ...

"... The wizards of Cecil have made a series of attempts and used technical means to conduct an" investigation ". My advisers now have a terrible guess. They think that the goddess of magic may have fallen for some unknown reason- —This sounds incredible, but we all know that similar things happened three thousand years ago. When the white stars fell, the druids lost their 'gods' ...

"... The mages will continue to investigate, and I also hope that Tiffin can pay attention to this matter, because the belief of the gods is not limited to one country and one place. It spans all mortal heads and affects the order of the entire mortal world ... … "

Rosetta's eyes continued to move down, and the follow-up content made his eyes stunned:

"... In addition, while the goddess of magic appeared abnormally, the priests and priests of the **** of war also reported anomalies-in a sense, I think what they reported was more disturbing than the disappearance of the goddess of magic ...

"... Many priests serving the God of War have symptoms of mental intrusion. They are repeatedly harassed by violent illusions and sounds, and the more they pray for asylum to the God of War, the more serious this kind of mental intrusion, as if the intrusion came from Like God of War ...

"... These are the internal affairs of the church, but the goddess of magic and the **** of war have appeared one after another, which has inevitably attracted my attention ...

"We all know that during the" Ansu Civil War ", the crazy dark believers once created an out-of-control deity. I do n’t want to say blasphemy, but this thing proves that the power of the deity is not like mortal imagination. That is only beautiful, it can also become terrifying and violent. Now, I am afraid that some forces are brewing similar things ... The "sacred disaster" on the plains of the Holy Spirit in the old days may be repeated, and than the dark druids have created What is more dangerous is that the goddess of magic and the **** of war—especially the latter—have a great influence of faith in the contemporary era ...

"My friend, when you read this letter, I was also preparing to issue a warning to the surrounding countries, but I think Tifeng should be the most vigilant one among all countries, for reasons that are self-evident ...

"... If you agree, I would like to share some of the Cecil's experience and effective protection technology against the" sacred disaster "on the Holy Spirit Plain to Tifeng. Of course, no one wants the disaster to really happen again, Everything is just for rainy days ...

"... your neighbor, Gavin Cecil."

Rosetta's eyes swept through the final payment, and he took a deep breath after a few seconds of silence.

Diana Ann stood quietly beside him, not showing any curiosity about the content of the letter.

"... It's a timely reminder," Rosetta said to himself as if to himself, "" Scourge "... this is really a proper word."

Diana's voice came from the side: "Your Majesty, do you need to call Grand Duke Peinin to discuss?"

Rosetta nodded: "Well, let Grand Duke Pedinan come at once, I see him in the study."

He said as he turned, he was about to leave the garden, but when he was about to move, he suddenly stopped and glanced over the blue-leaf pine next to the flowerbed.

This tree has been sick for many years, and the incurable disease has even begun to affect the growth of other plants around.

"Also tell the gardener to cut down this tree."
