Arriving at Melis' room, Herot asked worriedly: "You seem to be in a bad state of mind. Did you bear too much pressure in the palace today?"

Melis opened the window and let the cool night breeze blow in. Then she held the window frame with both hands and took a deep breath of the outside air.

"The palace doesn't put much pressure on me, but this city puts too much pressure on me. To be honest, I'm not used to the life here. Everyone wears many masks, and I can't see through what they want to do even though I try hard. .

It's better to be in Ice and Snow Peak, where life is very simple every day, and the enemies we face are very clear. It's a pity that my body can't stand the cold there... Isn't it a bit ridiculous? The Snow Duke's daughter is afraid of the cold! "

Helot also lay on the window frame, looking at the bustling metropolis outside.

"Can the injury to your bloodline be cured?"

Melis replied: "The palace doctors said that they have no good solution. They can only make a warming potion for me to adjust my constitution. I hope that I can heal on my own as time goes by. But it has been two years and I don't feel any improvement." signs.

Probably I'll never go back. "

Melis looked at the sky. Under the light of the city, she could not see the stars in the sky, which made her miss the starry sky in northern Xinjiang.

Helot: "If you can't go back, just live here. Wear a mask and adapt to the rules here. The new environment is not as complicated as you think. You have to learn to relax to see the wonderful things."

"You make it easy! If you have the guts, go and live in Northern Xinjiang for a few years. Let's see if you can see the wonderful things there."

"If I have the chance, I really want to visit Northern Xinjiang, see the Wanli Cliffs, the Ice and Snow Peaks, and see what a real cold demon looks like."

"Han Yao... is beautiful! People who don't understand Han Yao can easily be attracted by Han Yao's beauty, and then become their prey."

"I heard that the first generation of Snow Duke was the child of a human and a cold demon, so he has the bloodline of the Northern Lights."

"There is such a legend...A long time ago, the cold monsters that came down from the Wanli Cliff attacked a human village. They killed everyone, but like all stories, one child survived..."

Helot had heard many versions of the story about the first generation of Ice and Snow Dukes, but this was the first time he heard it told by a descendant of the Ice and Snow Dukes.

When the child grew up, he took a sword and went to seek revenge on the cold demon alone. On the road, he experienced countless difficulties and grew up again and again amidst the difficulties. He tamed an armored bear, found the only ice and snow peak that could climb thousands of miles of cliffs, and entered the kingdom of cold demons.

He slaughtered all the cold demons he saw indiscriminately, and was also hunted down by the cold demon warriors.

In the end, he was lost in a blizzard with scars all over his body. In order to survive, he let go of a chasing cold demon and forced her to take care of him.

"In the process of getting along, he fell in love with the cold demon, but was killed by the cold demon."

Herot waited for a while, not hearing the continuation of the story, and then asked: "What happened next? Did the cold demon become pregnant with that person's child, and the cold demon raised that child, who was the first generation of Ice and Snow Duke."

Melis shrugged: "I don't know the rest of the story. Anyway, our ancestors told us descendants through this story not to believe in the cold monster. The mission of the Erwin family is to guard the ice and snow peaks to stop the cold monster. Come down from the Thousand Miles Cliff."

"It's such a maddening story. It's not as exciting as the story of Claude's ancestors." Helot felt like he had a lump in his throat after hearing the story of the Erwin family, so he had to change the subject: "How did you start? What news did the palace bring me?”

"I'll get you a glass of water and let's talk slowly!"

Melis brought a glass of water to Herot, and the two sat down and talked about what happened in the palace today.

“The Rust Nobles requested the establishment of a Heavy Knights Order affiliated with the Heavy Industry Committee, and His Majesty agreed. He also agreed that the Rust Nobles should independently investigate the death of Earl Secombe.

The Rust Nobles already have a large-scale family force and control the production of weapons. I believe that they will see this heavily armored knights in the Covenant City soon. "

In the Glory Oath Empire, knights generally refer to private armed forces that are not affiliated with the imperial royal family, but are also recognized as legal military forces. For example, the Snow Duke has an armored bear knights.

But since the end of the Blood Rebellion, the empire has been trying to find ways to dismantle these knights, who are essentially private soldiers of the nobles. Hundreds of years have passed, and there are only a few knights left in the empire, and most of them have been restricted in scale.

The rust nobles are setting up a knighthood this time, and it is also a knighthood equipped with heavy weapons. They are undoubtedly reversing the course of history and touching the back of the emperor.

But the current situation forced Emperor Bradley to compromise.

After listening to Melis' story, Helot said: "From the standpoint of the Rusty Nobles... Earl Secombe died because of us, and your identity means that we have His Majesty's support behind us, so I gave it to His Majesty. To deal with the delusions of the rust nobles.

Therefore, they must be tough, and the establishment of the Knights is a manifestation of their toughness.

But I got the feeling that they were a bit too tough, as if someone was deliberately taking this opportunity to push from behind. "

Melis said: "Although I don't quite understand, I also feel that the Rust Nobles have taken this step too far."

"There must be people from the Deep Prison among the Rust Nobles, or the forces behind the Deep Prison are manipulating it. Your Majesty allows the Rust Nobles to establish the Heavy Knights this time. From the outside, it is a compromise. Those who are already ready to move will definitely be restrained. Take action."

The other party's move was really good.

If Emperor Bradley did not allow the Rust Nobles to establish the Knights, the Rust Nobles would definitely do something drastic with further instigation, which would trigger an uncontrollable turmoil.

If Emperor Bradley allowed the establishment of the Knights, it would give a signal of weakness to the outside world, and the conflicts that he had suppressed before would definitely rebound.

Melis said worriedly: "Yes! Your Majesty should not agree."

"But he has no other choice. Without knowing who is the loyal minister and who is the traitor, indiscriminate killing will only fall into the trap of the traitor. Although giving in allows the traitor to win, it protects the loyal minister. There is still a chance to fight back.”

"What should we do next? With the Knights and the power of independent investigation, the Rust Nobles will definitely cause trouble for us."

Helot said: "I don't think there is any need to rush into taking any action! Let's see what these rust nobles will investigate first when they have the power to investigate."

"Isn't it investigating the cause of Earl Secombe's death?"

"Investigating the cause of Earl Sekom's death will not be beneficial to the Rust Nobles. But with the excuse of investigating the cause of Earl Sekom's death, they will definitely make profits in the name of the investigation."

Melis understood clearly: "You mean, the Rust Nobility will cause trouble for the Tomorrow Group?"

Helot narrowed his eyes and said, "Only by defeating the Tomorrow Group will their position be stable!"

I originally thought that killing Earl Secombe would temporarily solve the crisis of Tomorrow Group, but now it seems that I was too optimistic!
