Chapter 579.1 (1/1)
Cangshi, Wangdu, former king's study
this room once belonged to the king of this country. But now it's being treated as part of the sequestration property, like the castle and the throne, waiting for the next person to have them. Compared with the servants in the castle in the past, the castle of Wangdu is cold and frightening at this time. It is no wonder that the sudden stop of the royal family makes the breach in the king's Hall unsustainable only with wood and grass nailing. The wind whistling through the corridor of the castle is long and low, as if it will never stop.
The subsequent repair of the castle has been put on hold, and workers should give priority to repairing more damaged houses and walls than a castle without a master. This is the resolution of a group of nobles of the kingdom. Of course, it was Andrea who proposed the bill. Nowadays, the construction of the Royal Castle is not everyone's business. Funding or proposing to repair the castle will be regarded as a kind of declaration of power. The Lords, who had just gone through an expedition and were eager to bring labor back to their territory to sow, were no longer able to make such a declaration. Even the krogg family, after the defeat of the first World War in Xigu City, there were voices of opposition within the clan. Some even thought that this was a sign that the family should not plot for the throne. Andrea, as the patriarch, had to stabilize the family first, so even if he longed to be on the throne, he would have to wait a few days.
This is cheap, Marcus, as the hand of the king, since there is no new king to ascend the throne, it means that no one has the right to recall him. At this time, although he was not as powerful as the Lords, his status was above all the families. It is also destined that he is the most indisputable person who can enter and leave the castle at will at this time. Marcus spent most of his time in the study these days, reading the Royal Collection and seeking solutions to the problems at hand. Of course, it may be more of an escape from reality. After all, in the current situation, his identity restricts him from showing his position easily. Otherwise, some people will become angry and send assassins or play some other means. What's more, this practice can also win over some people's hearts. For the people in the capital of the king, what they see is a Marcus immersed in grief for the king, which is enough.
”PATA” a thick book with an oak cover was slammed shut. The king's hand closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows to ease the discomfort caused by long-term reading. When he opened his eyes, he saw the door of the study and the window beside it. Outside the window was the cemetery of the Knights of all ages. ”So, is that how you feel?” Marcus whispered to himself that he had never thought that he would one day sit in the seat that should have belonged to the king. But sometimes, the reality is unexpected. Who would have thought that the United Kingdom would have been at odds for such a short time after the king's death that almost all the lords were making their own calculations.
And it's all because of cheese, the grey robed mage. The king's hand gave a bitter smile. He would not resent the cheese because he knew that he could not achieve the success of cheese when he moved to another place. Moreover, on that day, the sky and dragon were burned on the wall of Xigu City, and all the troops of the kingdom were in the posture of one person. Just thinking about it, people would not be able to resist. Only the mage did what he wanted to do and protected the creatures he thought was worth protecting. But oneself actually is in this big stall mess to walk in difficulty, really lets the human, the envy ah.
The fat King's hand stood up and went to the window with both hands supporting the edge of the window. ”I don't know whether I can restore the grey lion to the appearance of his majesty when he was alive. I wish I could, or I'll be ridiculed by him when I die. ” Marcus said, eyes suddenly gathered in one place, it is a small black spot, but it is growing bigger and bigger, soon, a carrier pigeon figure appeared in his field of vision. But, what kind of carrier pigeons in the world use leaves as wings?
The carrier pigeon, which is made of branches as bones, leaves as feathers and tree species as eyes, flutters, and its wings, which should not have the function of flight, landed in front of the king. Shaking his head, it seems to confirm whether the human in front of him is his target. When Marcus wanted to touch this magical creation, he suddenly scattered and turned into a pool of dead things. At the same time, the letter wrapped in the bird's belly was also revealed. Needless to say, the only one who can use such a thing as a messenger is the protector of all rat people in the whole kingdom.
Marcus shrugged. He opened the envelope and read it. This was his first exchange of information after leaving the city of chishigu. Although it was only a one-sided letter from the mage, it was enough to arouse the interest of the king's hand. ”Iron castle, are you?” Marcus frowned a little. He had heard of what happened to the iron castle. However, he had no time to investigate the chaos caused by the rat plague before, and how the city was said to have been closed down. Now, judging from the contents of the master's letter, the city has returned to normal under the witness of cheese and liechui. The rat people in the city have been subdued and taken to the north in time.
This is undoubtedly good news. Many nobles in the Kingdom coveted the territory and property of Archduke liehammer, especially after the collapse of the iron melting city. Fortunately, the loyalty of the hammers to their Lord did not change with the fall of the molten iron city. The rest of the cities in the reichhammer area and the residents who actively began to take in the molten iron and began to repair their Lord's castle. Under such circumstances, the more capital liechui, who guarded the western territory, had, therefore, no need for the kingdom to worry about the attacks of nomads.However, it is mentioned in the letter that there are skinned people among the nomads. Although Marcus doesn't know the difference very well, he can feel the seriousness of the matter from the tone between the lines of cheese. So he went back to his desk, unfolded a piece of parchment, and began to write something with a quill pen. At the same time, he said, ”well, it seems that our grey robed adults have never been idle, so I can't be left behind. Let me see, which families will help with the recovery of the hammer collar? By the way, you can let the Duke take care of the things led by Heishan. It's to compensate him for the loss of the iron melting city. I believe those guys dare not say anything! Ah, there are so many people who think that they can make use of it. Haha... ”
Pen, slowly stopped. Marcus's smile died away. He looked at the letters and documents on his desk, and his eyes fell on one of the latest ones. The title of the document said, ”proposal for reopening the chamber of the kingdom.”.
”In fact, it should have been brought up by father Atticus. I don't know if he's still mad at me. Just go and ask. I hope he won't kill me with one sword. ” The king's hand scratched his head and put the papers on the table in order. Ready to go out of the study, before leaving, he turned to look at the things in the room, showing a complex expression, and then blew out the candle in the lampshade.
”Good night.”
The dawn of the grey tower, the first volume of the plague tide, officially ended.
According to the opinions of the book friends, we will officially update the ”boat song of lost heart bay” after a day's rest tomorrow. Hu Zhong Yang Jing Shang
