The Kingdom of Haiding, the royal city of Saran Er.

Inside the palace, King Heiding discusses recent events in the kingdom with his sons Mette and Kempins.

"You said, do you want to raise the tax a little more?" King Haiting tapped his finger on the table lightly, his tone calm and unwavering.

Mette said solemnly: "Father, if the tax increases, many people will not be able to eat enough.

It has only been two months since the last time the tax was raised. At that time, in order to repair the city of Salun, the tax was raised by 10%.

"Not only those nobles, but also the commoners will be resentful." Mette continued.

"It doesn't matter. Taxes will go up. Half a year has passed since the blood moon, and the people should also slow down." Kempins said with a serious face.

Mette said angrily: "It is precisely because the blood moon has passed half a year that the tax cannot be raised twice at this time. 35

"It's only half, not much." Kempins said indifferently.

Mette said angrily: "Isn't that too much to increase by half?"

Kabbins said indifferently: "Second brother, don't be angry, the other kingdoms have doubled their price, and it's not much for us to increase by half.

Neither of the two allowed the other to argue with each other on their own merits.

Haiting Kingdom's eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't care about the arguments between the two, and nodded in approval from time to time.

"Father, taxes can't go up." Mette blushed.

Kebbins said coldly: "It can go up."

Mette said angrily: "There is no tax increase in the business district."

Kabbins said indifferently: "That's a commercial area, it's normal for 213 not to raise taxes, don't you know how many Warcraft spar you earn every day?

He curled his lips and said, "What's more, the commercial area belongs to the Xuanwu Kingdom. It's not up to you and me to worry about the tax hike."

Mette sneered: "Oh, then why don't you propose to collect the business district tax?

Kabbins' eyes lit up, and thoughtfully said: "It makes sense, the business district is within the city of Salun, and although it belongs to the Xuanwu Kingdom, entry and exit must pass through the city of Salun, and a toll can be charged."

"Well, yes." Haiting Kingdom nodded in agreement.

Mette's eyes widened and she said loudly, "Father, doing this will anger Your Excellency Mu Liang. 35

"No, it's just a trivial matter, how could he care." Haiting Kingdom waved his hand indifferently.

"Father, you really can't." Mette opened her mouth.

King Haiting said indifferently: "Well, there is Baishuang in the Xuanwu Kingdom, Mu Liang will not care about this because of her face. 35

"..." The corners of Mette's eyes jumped, and there was only an ominous feeling in her heart.

"Second brother, calm down, I will arrange this matter." Kebbins smiled slightly.

"Okay." Mette's face was ugly, she understood that she could not change her father's and eldest brother's decision, and was very upset in her heart (dbea).

"As for the tax increase, you..." Kingdom Haiting was interrupted by the sound of the announcement halfway through his mouth.

"Tatata~~~"

"Your Majesty, the Knight Commander has urgent news." The 5 guards walked in quickly to report.

Hai Ting Kingdom just wanted to get angry, when he heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Let him come in.

"Yes." The guard let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave the council hall.

"What can the knight commander come to do at this time?" Kebbins raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know." Mette's face was dark, and she was still in a bad mood.

"Be quiet." Haiting Kingdom said indifferently.

"Yes." Both of them fell silent.

"Tatata~~~"

The sound of dull footsteps came, and the knight commander hurried into the council hall and respectfully saluted the knight.

"I have seen your majesty, your two majesty." The knight commander said respectfully.

Haiding Kingdom asked in a hoarse voice: "What's the matter, in such a hurry."

The Knight Commander stared at King Haiting, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Huoluan City has been destroyed."

"What? 35 The Kingdom of Haiding and the two princes exclaimed in unison.

Huoluan City, an inland city of Haiting Kingdom, is a large city with a population of more than 150,000 people.

The knight commander said in a trembling voice: "Huoluan City was destroyed, and all 150,000 people in the city were killed, and no one survived.

"What you said is true?" Haiding Kingdom stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

Kebbins said with a serious face: "Knight Commander, if you talk nonsense like this, you will be executed."

The Knight Commander said solemnly: "Your Highness, I have sent someone to confirm that Huoluan City was really destroyed."

"How could this be..." Mette's hands trembled, her face pale as paper.

King Haiding asked angrily: "What's going on, has the investigation been clear?"

The knight commander opened his mouth and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, no one in the whole city has survived, this is difficult to investigate...""

"Waste, why did you only know now that something like this happened?" King Haiding roared.

"It's very strange, how can there be no news about this kind of city destruction?" Kebbins frowned.

Mette analyzed coldly: "To be able to quietly destroy a big city, only a powerful supreme-level magician can do it."

King Haiding said with a cold face: "Supreme Magician...35

The knight commander suddenly said: "The person who went to investigate said that there is an unpleasant smell in the city, which is very evil."

"Very evil... Could it be done by the Black Mage?" Cempins said angrily.

Mette looked at the king: "Will it be the Dark Phoenix? 99

King Haiting had a gloomy face, and said hoarsely: "It is possible that the dark phoenix is ​​the mouse in the ditch, and the darkness is disgusting."

Mette said in a dull tone: "If it's the Dark Phoenix, it will be very difficult to catch them.

"If it is determined that the dark phoenix did it, then the whole country will search for them." King Haiding slapped the table in front of him angrily.

Mette said with a serious face: "Father, I want to go to Huoluan City to see.

King Haiding hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Go, pay attention to safety, and take a knight with you."

"Yes." Matt nodded vigorously.

"Your Majesty, let me go with His Royal Highness the Second Prince. 35 The Knight Commander respectfully shows his respect.

Kebbins said: "No, Salon City still has a lot of things to do for you.

Mette frowned and looked at the eldest prince, her eyes not friendly.

"This..." The knight commander hesitated.

King Haiding said indifferently: "You stay in Salon City and let the Deputy Knight Commander follow."

"Yes." The knight commander nodded respectfully.

Mette took a deep breath and said nothing.

King Hai Ting intends to cultivate an heir, he and the eldest prince are the only two candidates, and they will fight each other so fiercely.

King Haiting waved his hand and said: "Go get ready, suppress the news first, and investigate it early. 35

"Yes." Matt nodded seriously.

He suddenly asked: "Father, do you want to call Bai Shuang back?"

King Haiting thought for a while and waved his hand: "No, she is very safe in Xuanwu Kingdom, let her come back in a few days."

"That's right." Mette nodded in agreement.

Before he left, he glanced at Kempins, and the two were secretly fighting each other, each dealing with what they had to do.
