Arad's unruly savior

Welcoming the Imperial Legion frozen by Skarsa is of great significance. A respected and powerful person must be represented to set off for the Holy Mountain of Kanak in the snowy area of ​​Stone.

Queen Josephine thought carefully in her heart and said to herself:

"My father, Marquis Aswan, is stationed in the Gray Desert, which is close to Shatli, but he is already over 70 years old. If he goes to the harsh environment of the Stone Snow Region, it will cost him half his life. Let's find someone else."

"There are not many dukes and marquises in the empire, and they have some conflicts with the Bantu people. They are not suitable to be sent to the Stone Snow Region."

For example, Duke Conard, Marquis Graus and others, they hold a pivotal position in the Imperial Military. Although they were not the direct leaders of that Imperial Legion before, they must have had intricate ties with certain people in it and are quite sensitive.

Therefore, the candidates sent to the Stone Snow Region must have clean identities. They must be either "civil servant" nobles who have nothing to do with the military, or they can only be the princes and princesses of the empire.

"It's a pity that Fann has become decadent and drunk all day long. I don't know how long he will live. Otherwise, it would be best to let him go. He is the eldest son of the empire and the future crown prince..."

The next person that Queen Josephine thought of was Nosadia. She did intend to cultivate the talents of the second princess to check and balance the eldest princess Celia, who had nominally secured the position of heir.

She actually saw the second princess's confused state and the eldest princess's ambition for the throne, and she knew everything.

The eldest princess may not be able to endure this kind of personality for long. If no one checks her and gives her something to do to satisfy her ambition, she might lead her troops to force the emperor to abdicate one day.

Unfortunately, her little daughter Isabella was having so much fun playing outside. She was as free as a bird that had escaped from a cage. How could she be willing to return to the high walls of the palace?

"But as a diplomatic envoy of the Delos Empire, Celia has done an impeccable job and is known as the face of the empire. However, Nosadia has no experience in this area and may be a little lacking."

"Well... there is a way. How about this?"

Queen Josephine smiled slightly, then summoned them into the palace at the same time.

…………

Wetallen, the residence of Marquis Crowwell.

"The current Queen Josephine has enlightened policies, is compassionate and sympathetic, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. How could there still be a banditry outbreak in the empire?" Qianying touched Jie's dog's head, loosened the collar around its neck, and let it roam freely in the mansion.

Although Jie has a high IQ, will never hurt anyone and obeys his master's orders, he is a medium-sized hunting dog after all. Because of the mutation, he has a hint of murderous aura. If he goes out without a collar and leash, it will inevitably scare people who are afraid of dogs.

Wearing a collar when going out is a way to be responsible to yourself and others.

When Hyde entered the palace to meet Queen Josephine, his wife Hannah also said goodbye to Ye Lin, Hiat and Qianying.

She said she still had some work to deal with in the military, and her subordinates sent her a document saying that there was a bandit problem in a certain province in the empire, which made Hannah feel itchy.

Hannah likes to lead troops to suppress bandits the most, which gives her a sense of pleasure in punishing evil and promoting good. Moreover, as a high-level awakener, her strength is enough to solve most of the bandit problems.

Apart from the extremely powerful resistance army led by Ludmila, Ruth and Natalia, the bandits and thieves that broke out in the empire were mostly composed of ordinary people and a small number of professionals.

After all, if you have the strength of an awakened person, you will basically be respected and treated well everywhere. Why bother to be a bandit or thief and make yourself uncomfortable?

As for the infamous Purple Mist Group, their leadership is extremely powerful, and its founder, the Underworld Master Yuk, has an origin-level foundation. That's because he has the secret instructions of Emperor Leon behind him.

Hannah was keen on tying up those hateful bandits and thieves and putting them on public trial, and then listening to the cheers and praises from the people... She liked this feeling very much, which was a satisfaction that could not be brought by any material things in the world.

Of course, Hannah had also failed before. Leon Heinrich III once issued the highest level of wanted order for the "Black Shock", slandering the Black Shock as uncontrollable, brutal, and harmful bandits to the empire. She once led troops to hunt down the Black Shock.

There were two collisions in total, and Hannah didn't get any advantage either time.

"Even in a country like the Heaven Realm where technology is highly developed, surveillance cameras are everywhere, and the emperor is wise and enlightened, there are still a large number of criminal cases happening every day." Ye Lin smiled and answered Qianying's question.

Whether there are thieves and bandits within the country is related to the wisdom of the monarch.

If the monarch is incompetent and the people suffer terribly, many people will have to take up swords and use these few feet of weapons to seek justice for themselves and vent the resentment accumulated in their chests.

If the monarch is wise and the people can live and work in peace and the country is at peace, there will be fewer related criminals, but it will be impossible to completely eliminate them.

On a grand scale, original sin is the companion of wisdom and life.

At this time, it has nothing to do with the character of the monarch, but the malice and meanness of his thoughts and soul. As the saying goes... there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.

As one of the few powerful nobles in the empire, the Marquis of Crowell's mansion is naturally extremely spacious and luxurious, and has hundreds of years of history. In many places, you can see some of the characteristics and styles that were popular a hundred years ago, as if a miniature of history is embodied here.

Qianying is the adopted daughter publicly acknowledged by the Marquis of Crowell and has a very high status in the mansion. Servants passing by, including some members of the collateral bloodline, will greet her respectfully.

In the mansions of the nobility, it was common to see uncles, aunts, cousins ​​and a whole family living together.

Marquis Crowell has a wife but unfortunately has no children. The Marquis also has a younger brother, who is Qianying's uncle.

My uncle's family has a son and a daughter. Both of them are in their thirties and have already started their own families.

Together with some of the Marquis Craughwell's father's generation, his descendants, and so on, a total of twenty or thirty people lived here.

Compared with her, Hiatt's family is relatively "decayed". She is the only child of her generation, and Earl Orson is also the only child. There is no one of higher generations or collateral branches.

So the Countess was really anxious, and often hinted to her daughter Hiatt, "Now that you and Ye Lin have settled down and are no longer living an adventurous life, you should just rest and prepare for pregnancy."

Just give birth to two or three little fat carps and raise them. There won't be any need for Hiatt to take care of the babies. There are plenty of servants in the Earl's mansion.

In a corridor of the Marquis's mansion, the three of them met a woman with heavy makeup on. She was about half a head shorter than Qianying, and was pretty, with an average build. She was wearing an expensive silk dress, and the gems on her neck and earrings sparkled. Due to her delicate makeup, it was difficult to tell her exact age.

"You're back. Was the relic return ceremony fun? You must be the famous Lord Ye Lin." The woman's attitude was very friendly. When she smiled, she showed a mouthful of uneven teeth. Due to her noble dress and pretty face, this flaw could be ignored.

"I'm Ye Lin, hello." Ye Lin returned the greeting with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Li'er." Qianying nodded and called her indifferently, seemingly without much enthusiasm in responding to her.

Since they just met in the corridor, they said a few words to each other and then parted ways.

Qianying asked the maid to prepare afternoon tea. They went from the Golden Cathedral of Remidia to the palace, then to the restaurant where they had dinner and then returned to the Marquis's residence. They basically did not take a carriage, but walked back as if they were shopping.

In addition, I wanted to lose weight and didn’t eat much, so a proper afternoon tea was necessary.

"Did you feel that Li'er was very kind and enthusiastic just now, as if you were old friends who had not seen each other for a long time." Hiat smiled and picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth.

You can lose weight without losing weight and eating some sweets.

He already knew the other person's identity. Li'er was the wife of the son of the Marquis Crouwel's younger brother. Her family was of baronial origin. According to their age and seniority, Qianying usually had to call her sister-in-law.

Ye Lin nodded, and reached for the fat croaker's belt, suggesting that he wanted to drink the croaker juice. Then he received a light slap on the back of his hand, and quickly retracted it, saying calmly:

"Yes, he smiled at you and praised you in various ways as soon as we met. It's hard to resist such fiery enthusiasm when you first meet."

Hiatt poured him a cup of black tea and pushed it in front of him, saying, "Drink it. That's it. No other drinks will be served for afternoon tea. Even if you want to drink the water my cousin and I make, you have to wait until the evening."

Hiat mentioned her cousin's past, recalling and saying, "Don't think that Li'er is very enthusiastic now, and even has a bit of a flattering feeling towards Qianying. In fact, when Qianying just returned home, she didn't have this attitude now. She always intentionally or unintentionally squeezed Qianying, implying that she was of commoner blood."

Qianying was taken away when she was in her teens to participate in a transfer experiment in a top-secret area. Later, an accident broke out at the experimental site and a group of magic hand transplant recipients escaped, including Qianying.

Clauwell, the leader of the Royal Knights of the Delos Empire, discovered these children and secretly took them in, who later became Fengying, Mavis and others. Among them, Qianying was his favorite, and he considered her an adopted daughter.

Hiatt went on to say that the Marquis of Crowell had a wife but unfortunately no descendants, which means that when the Marquis died a hundred years later, the title would be inherited by his younger brother.

Then, when the Marquis's younger brother dies, the title will be inherited by his son, Li'er's husband. This is a process that will inevitably happen if nothing unexpected happens.

But an accident really happened. Qianying showed up as the adopted daughter of Marquis Crouwel. This immediately made Li'er, who thought she could become the Marquise, feel a huge crisis.

If the theory of inheritance is based on bloodline, Qianying is actually not qualified to inherit the title of Marquis, but the clever thing is that this is not a hard and fast rule of the imperial law. There are many cases in the history of the empire where families expanded their influence by recruiting talented people, and they eventually inherited the title.

If the Marquis insists on letting Qianying inherit his title, then she will be the Marquis of the Empire in the future.

"Of course, for those families that have to recruit talents and let outsiders inherit the title due to the decline of family talents, there will be an implicit requirement, that is, that person must marry a man or a woman in the family to ensure the continuation of the bloodline and their own part." Hiatt added.

Therefore, Li'er had often excluded Qianying in the past. In addition, Qianying was indeed born in an ordinary family and did not receive elite education from the aristocracy since childhood, so she was often ridiculed by Li'er.

If it weren't for the kindness of her adoptive father and the fact that she had walked out of the cruel transfer experiment, Qianying, who had already killed people, would have wanted to draw out the dagger "White Fang" to cut off her weird tongue.

"Then what happened? How did Li'er's attitude change?" Ye Lin was curious. While Fei Liao was telling the story of his cousin, Sunglasses Shadow was nonchalant and drinking tea leisurely.

“Two reasons.”

One is that Qianying said that she would not marry a man from the side branch of the Marquis of Crowell's family. She euphemistically said that she already had a boyfriend, but to put it bluntly, she just didn't like him.

Also, Li'er knew that Qianying was extremely powerful and had killed many people...It was she who killed Count Mastiff, who was highly regarded by Emperor Leon, and did not leave his body intact.

Li'er herself could only be described as an ordinary woman with a bit of ambition, and she didn't have much cultivation ability, so she felt relieved when she knew the first situation. Marquis Crouwell would definitely not pass on the glorious family title to an outsider.

When she learned about the second situation, her heart sank. She even dared to kill the Earl. She was the daughter of a baron, and the daughter of a baron who could not inherit the title. In Qianying's eyes, she was really nothing.

So Li'er was able to let go of it and changed her previous attitude. She became enthusiastic towards Qianying and even a little bit flattering.

Qianying was too lazy to argue with her sister-in-law who was always changing with the wind, and their relationship gradually became like this.

"Hi, here we come!"

Beiyana and the others had heard the news before they arrived. After entering the Marquis's mansion, they looked around curiously, running and jumping. Hai Anna and Qingzhi, Yaoyao and Bianca were all in the team.

"Brother, what's the use of this cup?" From a distance, Beyana took out the golden cup that she had exchanged from the Golden Cathedral.

They have looked at them one by one, and found that they are made of pure gold and gemstones, but that's all, and they didn't see any secrets.

I couldn't see anything with the glasses invented by Maru and Diana.

Ye Lin took the golden cup and asked them a question first, asking them if they knew the story of Everas, the heroic spirit of the golden cup.

People from the demon world, heaven world, and god world all shook their heads, saying they had never heard of it.

They have never been to the square in front of the Golden Cathedral, so how would they know what the story is?

Ye Lin told them the story of Everas. Beiyana, who was naughty but smart, clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling, and said:

"That is, the treasure that Everas collected before has not yet been discovered, and this golden cup is the key item."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beiyana snatched the golden cup away again. (End of this chapter)
