Chapter 26(1/4)
The capital city of Franc is undoubtedly the most dazzling piece of jewelry for the Kingdom of Francs, and the Shantrongen Avenue is undoubtedly the most dazzling diamond above this piece of jewelry.
At this moment, a long string of long queues of carriages were slowly driving on this most prosperous street.
The carriage walking at the front of the queue was painted with shiny white paint, with the pattern of marigolds and canary on the bottom layer. There were two knights wearing red military uniforms and golden badges on their shoulders sitting on the coachman.
Two other knights climbed on both sides of the carriage on the back railing, one hand holding the railing, while the other hand was always placed on the hilt of the long sword on the waist.
The golden hilt shines under the sunlight.
The royal style made the nobles who were used to the prosperity and grandeur on both sides of Xiangtroen Avenue amazed.
The person sitting on this strangely luxurious carriage is the king of the island Yingge, which has always been isolated from the world.
No one knows why His Majesty the King left his kingdom on a whim, and he doesn't understand why he brought such an amazing show.
However, the visit of the rulers of the Kingdom of England was like a cup of strong sour wine that could immediately make anyone who was dying.
The arrival of His Majesty the King seemed to make the people in Franck forget what had just happened, and forget the series of fears and fears.
Franck City was renovated, and the houses that were affected by the terrible battle were presented to everyone in just one week with another completely new face.
In addition, those slightly inconspicuous houses that are uncomfortable to see are also demolished and rebuilt.
For a moment, Franc seemed to usher in a prosperous spring.
The Shantrongen Avenue is undoubtedly the biggest benefit. The people of Franck City obviously love this extremely beautiful diamond the most. They tried every effort to make this prosperous street look more beautiful and colorful.
The efforts of the Francis were obviously not in vain. The praise in their hearts was self-evident when those Englishmen looked at this prosperous and elegant road.
The nobles who came with His Majesty, who sat in the carriage, had a feeling that this trip was worthy.
Some of them couldn't even wait, and wanted to enter the shops on both sides that made their eyes lit up and make a lot of purchases.
The heavy cash boxes locked in the dark lattice under the seats on their carriage were originally prepared to spend a lot of money in this famous land of gold powder.
In fact, in addition to the Inger nobles who were eager to try, the two younger members of the royal family of the Inger Kingdom sitting inside were the same.
Compared with the supreme His Majesty of the Kingdom of Francis and his brother with high power, His Majesty of the Kingdom of Ing is still very young.
However, this relatively young King, in the eyes of his children, is indeed a harsh and dull father.
Along the side of the Majesty, there were princes and princesses sitting on the left and right.
Both of them look very similar in appearance, expression and face.
The princess looked a little bigger, and her eyes looked out the window, with a hint of calmness in her curiosity.
The prince was obviously not out of the child's temperament, and his eyes were so restless.
"This is the most gorgeous living room of our wealthy neighbors." His Majesty the King said softly, stroking his son's head peacefully.
"Isn't the most prosperous place Nangang?" His Highness the Prince asked in confusion.
"Yes, in a sense, the most prosperous place in the Kingdom of Francis is indeed the small town in the south, because it is like the land of spring, full of thriving vitality and vitality."
"But I'm afraid that only those southerners from the Kingdom of Francis. The reason you have this idea is that the only Francis people you come into contact with are those from the southern counties."
"For most Francis people, the most prosperous place is still here, and what you see is the place where they are most proud of." King Ing said with a smile.
"They do have the capital of pride. It would be great if Inge had such a street as well." The princess next to her sighed and said.
"That's why I hope you two can move such a street to our own kingdom." The Majesty said with a heavy sigh.
Obviously this was a dull topic. For a moment, the carriage was quiet, and there was only the noisy sound of horse hooves coming from outside the window.
"Yes, my father, I know how to do it, but I don't understand, since you want to make our kingdom as prosperous as our neighbors, why don't you choose to join hands with Prince Phillips and regard the old king who seems to have lost his authority as the object of alliance?" the princess asked in confusion. This was an inextricable question that had been filled with her heart.
"My dear child, what I really care about is not the covenant with the Kingdom of Francis. This once prosperous and prosperous kingdom has now fallen. The splendid Francis V once had ambitions to rule the known world, but his descendants are always entangled with the Kingdom of Delizhi."
"The further we go, the worse the king of the Kingdom of Francis was, and the descendants of the great king not only lost Francis V's ambition to conquer the whole world, but also could not match Francis IX's ambition to rule with great power."
"In contrast, the Kingdom of Delizhi is stronger than the generation. Now they have become the biggest crisis faced by countries on the mainland. The rapidly rising Kingdom of Delizhi has long replaced the position of the Kingdom of Francis and has become a common nightmare for all countries on the mainland."
"And compared with the Kingdom of Francis, Delizhi has no connection with other countries, so it can annex any country without any scrupulousness."
"Since the Deli Kingdom annexed Ortire, the countries on the mainland were worried and full of fear about this emerging country, and the Kingdom of Francis secretly concluded a covenant with Yilei."
"But from this incident it is also obvious that the decline of the Kingdom of Francis has fallen to the point where it must rely on the power of others to protect itself."
"What a huge contrast to the situation it has been in the offensive state. It can be said that the greatest sorrow of this once prosperous ancient country."
"The reason why I have formed an alliance with His Majesty King Francis and gave up Prince Phillips, a slightly stronger person, is not because I am greedy for King Francis' little bit of pitifulness and even lack of self-protection."
"What I care about is that he has built a bridge for me to the Kingdom of Deli. In my opinion, the Kingdom of Deli represents the future." King Ying expressed his true thoughts to his children in detail.
"The philosopher said that the changes in the world are unpredictable. Perhaps the Kingdom of Francis will become stronger again. If you choose the wrong ally, the Kingdom of Francis may be a more dangerous enemy for Inge, which is close to you." The princess asked again.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about, and it seems that this concern is becoming more and more obvious now. The rise of Francs South is like an unstoppable fire that swept across the earth."
"It's hard to predict what will be left behind after the fire, is it a ruin or a thriving vitality?"
"There are even rumors that a second Kaimildit will appear on the land of the Kingdom of Francis. This is not a blessing for both Delizhi and Ingel." King Ingel said with a frown.
"I am looking forward to seeing the rumored count. I heard that he possesses even more wisdom than the famous Marquis Keane, and his smart mind is far above that Mr. Eckert." The prince said with his head turned.
"I am also extremely looking forward to it, but before seeing him, I probably have to hide my favorite daughter first, because for girls, he is an extremely dangerous person, and some parts of his reputation are extremely bad." King Ing said with a smile.
"Will it be worse than those owners of the manors? As far as I know, the Francis used at least the means to pursue women, rather than using authority to do whatever they were. Compared with those who followed us, the most despicable of them could also be called saints or angels." His Highness next to him said again disapprovingly.
"The philosopher also said that the cakes on other people's plates are always bigger and sweeter than those on their own."
"My child, don't look at your country with contempt. Although the estates of Ing are indeed full of cruelty and barbarity, the noble territory of the Kingdom of Francis also has black prisons full of bones and corpses hanging from trees and crows that are pecked by crows."
"The only difference is that the nobles of the Kingdom of Francis were mixed with a trace of elegance in their tyranny. They like nooses instead of guillotines, because nooses don't bleed and feel uneasy."
"And the civilization they proclaim does not represent kindness and forgiveness. The evidence of their so-called civilization is just that there are not so many methods of death."
"On the contrary, I think that the savage Delizhi has more civilizations, although it is indeed too cruel to crush the death row prisoners into a pool of flesh and blood with stone mills."
"But the criminals who have the power to defend themselves in the law, and the nobles will not lynch their slaves and their people in their territory in the garden." King Ing said with a sigh.
"The true civilization should care about thunder." The prince reminded.
"Hmph! If the ultimate civilization of the country of the treacherous and profit-seeking merchants is like that, perhaps barbarity can make the country live longer." King Ying said coldly: "However, that country like a merchant can be used. Their wealth can make the surviving Francs have a temporary prosperity, and also make the English prosperous. The reason why I have formed an alliance with King Francs is to open the door to the thunder of will."
"But what can we give to Yi Lei? We only have more land and manors." The prince asked in confusion.
"This is the purpose of my trust and reuse of the Franx Southerners, who are the best merchants and the most intelligent investors, who will find out for us what can profit from trade. Mr. Eckert is a very wise person, and he obviously knows that making money from both sides is far more and more lasting benefits than squeezing one side."
"It is precisely because of this that you granted him that charter? You made him fully represent all the wealth of Ing?" asked the prince.
These words obviously satisfied the king. He gently touched his son's cheek, and his smile filled his face.
"Well, that's my purpose, and for this reason, I hope you can get as close to the count as possible to see if he, as the rumor says, not only has extraordinary wisdom, but also has a smart mind." King Ing said, his tone full of expectations and encouragement.

On the other end of Franck, in the temporary bedroom, on the top of the tall tower, Enleco was studying the astrological observator with two magicians.
"It seems that the mystery is not on this stargazing meter." Magician Andeli sighed.
The Masques beside him nodded, obviously he had the same opinion.
The two turned their heads and their eyes stopped on the magic circles that seemed quite messy and extremely complex on the ground and on the walls.
"It seems that this tower itself is the greatest work of Kaimildit. No wonder before this, no matter how much we spend, we cannot find the purpose of the works left by Kaimildit locked in the Warehouse of the Magic Society." Mados Magister said in a heavy tone.
"You mean that Kaimildit left most of the secrets here. This castle not only activates the control device of those magical items, but also provides the magic source of energy?" asked Magician Andeli. He believed that Masque's guess must be closer to the truth than him. After all, Masque, like Kaimildit, is also an alchemist.
"It's a pity that so far, we still don't know what the use of these magic circles is, and that metal life body is unwilling to appear in front of us, and we are even more unwilling to tell Ribo the answer." Masque said with a frown.
"But at least we know that the magic circle related to invisibility should be able to study some rules from it. In addition, we already have knowledge about the creation of metal living organisms. Perhaps in the near future, we can completely solve all the mysteries." Magician An Dili said confidently, but he could fully hear that he was just cheering everyone up.
"Maybe it is not enough to rely on the two of us alone to solve these mysteries." Magister Masque said solemnly, he wanted to speak but stopped because he was worried that his advice would be too unacceptable for Rebow.
"Teacher, do you mean to let Vach and Nileere join in and reveal this huge secret to them?" Ribo asked.
"Yes, my disciple, no one knows more about Kemildit than Nellerere. In fact, in order to seek the 'footprints' of the great great magician, Nellerere spent most of his life and energy."
"And Vach, aside from his character and arrogant personality, among all the magicians, he has the most outstanding talent. It is precisely because of this that he was able to become a magician when he was less than forty. I have the title of magician, and I am almost seventy years old, and An Dili is not much different."
"When I first obtained that magic note, I didn't need their assistance because it only took time and a lot of energy."
"But now, if you want to find a clue in this mess, you probably have to rely on their help." Maske said, staring at his disciples tightly.
Because he knew very well that if Vach and Nile Erre were to join the ranks of joint research, he had to obtain the consent of Rebbo.
In fact, it was Vach and Nile Erre who were conspiring to plot against their disciples behind their backs that making Ribo compromise might mean putting him in extreme danger.
Rebow was also thinking hard there, but the problem he was thinking about was not the same as what Mr. Masque was worried about.
In fact, when Masquer Masque had just proposed to invite two other ill-minded magicians to join, Ribo was considering whether it was possible to buy his potential and terrible opponent.
After all, before becoming a thief, Ruibo was a small clerk in Nangang. In his life, bloody battles and conspiracies with swords and swords were not the theme.
Trading is something he often does, and his job is originally a transaction.
Eckert did not train him to become a gangster who likes violence. His identity was originally a liar, and what liars liked were deception and tricks.
Similarly, what scammers are good at is not fighting, killing, but trading with others.
Rebow never forgot what Eckert once told him: "A successful liar should try his best to avoid establishing enemies for himself."
For Rebow, Eckert is a very respectable teacher, and Mr. Hyde is undoubtedly an excellent role model.
