Chapter 482: Pioneers and Keepers (3/3)

  Chapter 482 Pioneers and Landkeepers (33)

  —Not all prayers are answered.

  Aphrina Ellen. The Emperor of the Setar Empire, the beloved little daughter of the keeper Axel, the current Marquis of Ellen, and his brother, Mikael Setar, are sitting at the front of the hall. at the table.

Both of them were silent. The graceful and luxurious blond woman was wearing a lavender silk gown with fluffy white velvet trim. She was lying on the sofa, looking up at a painting hanging on the other side of the hall. A portrait, and epigrams.

  The person in the painting is a young climber, wearing armor and a cloak, leading a group of knights up the mountain. His long golden hair is blowing in the wind. He is smiling and pointing to the top of the mountain with a long sword in his hand.

This young climber's armor and long sword are quite simple, but there is a peculiar 'U'-shaped imprint on his forehead, which is shining like a star, or like a bird struggling to spread its wings .

Aphrina also had such an imprint when she was born, but it faded away soon afterwards, which prevented her from becoming a princess and queen in the true sense. Although she was loved by her father, she did not receive the inheritance of the Royal Seal of Setar. One of the many regrets in her life.

  She stared at the scroll, and the person on it was exactly what Axel Setar looked like when he led a team to climb the Karan Mountains when he was young.

  He didn't have much fame at that time, and his grandfather didn't die in the rebellion started by his uncle. At that time, my father often had a smile on his face. Although he was not taken seriously, he still had his own foundation and like-minded companions.

  At that time, my father often said this sentence.

  【Not all prayers will be answered. 】

  【Afurina, my daughter, I prayed countless times to many great beings before you were born, hoping that you would inherit my bloodline... Unfortunately, you did not. But this doesn’t mean anything, it doesn’t mean that my love for you will be inferior to other brothers and sisters]

  Thinking about this, the lady shook her head wearily. She didn't say anything, but the glowing bird at the side noticed this: [What's wrong, little girl, are you tired? 】

  【Or, seeing things and thinking about people, remembering what our father looked like back then? 】

   "Let me give you a suggestion, second brother, don't really treat me like a little girl, my son is older than your daughter."

Looking sideways at the luminous little bird's heart light body, Madam Ellen sat upright, her bright sapphire-like eyes dimmed a little: "Of course, you guessed right. I just thought. I mean. Father...how is it?" What are you thinking?"

  【You don't understand】

  The luminous bird said indifferently: 【You are not a queen, how can you understand what an emperor is thinking? 】

   "Come on." The lady shook her head impatiently: "It's another set of rhetoric—then what should we do? Do nothing? Hmm? Does a smart person who wants to be an emperor have an answer?"

  【I just think I am more suitable than big brothers and big sisters】

  Shimmer Bird said seriously: [And I'm not joking, little sister, whether it was father, uncle, second uncle or other uncles and aunts, they all tried to understand what grandpa wanted to do... Guess what? 】

  【They all guessed wrong and all died】

  【As far as our father is concerned...he didn't guess anything, he just guarded the east border steadfastly, ignoring any invitations and gossip. So he won]

   "... At least this, I can't deny."

Mrs. Ellen nodded slightly, and she laughed at herself, which was almost exactly the same as Isengarde's self-deprecating smile: "We laughed at these elders back then, how could we be so crazy to guess Grandpa's purpose? Grandpa is beyond the age A great emperor in one step is a pioneer that even history books, nobles, scholars, and even ordinary people can't understand...how are they worthy of guessing Grandpa's actions?"

   "But... now I understand. Every decision grandpa makes is closely related to them as the royal family. They have to guess... just as what father wants to do to us is closely related to us."

The luminous bird was silent for a while, and then slowly said: [The foolish people always say that the grandfather is a tyrant, and the smart scholars secretly scold us for polluting the emperor's reputation... but they don't know that it is because the grandfather is called a tyrant , many reforms and laws left by him... can be inherited]

  【My father has always respected my grandfather. My grandfather asked my father to guard the eastern border to support the imperial capital in case of emergency. He did so and left immediately after learning the news, but it was still a step late】

  【Grandfather actually expected the dark moon turmoil to happen a long time ago, but he didn’t expect that it was uncle and grandmother who took action...even such a wise grandfather didn’t expect it】

  【It can only be said that he is still a human being in the final analysis, not a sage descended from the sky in some myths and legends】

   "So, are we the uncle of the past, or the father of the past?"

  Regarding the emotion of the second prince, Mrs. Ellen lowered her eyes. Her appearance and smile can be regarded as works of art. It only needs to be frozen for a moment to be painted by a painter, and it can be handed down for hundreds of years.

But at this moment, her expression looked desolate and even more melancholy: "Then what can we hold on to? According to my father's instructions, we will raise Yisen up and become his eternal body? Huh? Brother, my lovely niece Lidi Yabu is the same."

  【It’s not sure yet, that’s what my father thinks】

  The shimmering bird replied calmly: [Reverberation, echo and mirror, these are all extremely evil techniques that my grandfather severely criticized. Remember that year? All of us were summoned to the tower of the lonely mountain, where the furious grandfather ordered the fifth uncle to kneel down, and the first knight personally abolished his path to ascension...he died a year later]

  【Father is not that stupid, even if he doesn’t know why, he will never make the same mistakes again】

  【Even if grandfather is gone, father will not take the road that was rejected by grandfather】

   "That's even more dangerous."

Mrs. Ellen stared at the file in front of her: "Look, in the last fifteen years, all the experiments related to the imperial capital since Yisen's birth...Father has been restarting the research that my grandfather did back then! Even my grandfather didn't set foot in it back then. Too many fields!"

   "He has also become more and more mysterious and elusive, to the point of... ignoring the government."

   "If it is just to take away the body of the heir for eternal life, it will be easier to deal with it. The question is, what exactly does the father want to do?"

  【At the very least, knowing that my father has restarted my grandfather’s research all these years is a reward】

  The shimmering bird stared at the handwriting and pictures on the file: [Little sister, do you know that once this news spreads, how many nobles and powerful people in the entire Setar Empire will be terrified and unable to sleep at night? 】

  【How many countries will look at us with astonishment and defense? Recalling the genuine 'Central Empire' back then? 】

  【Whether it is the black sun, the black tyrant, or the pioneer Inaiga the Great... This world cannot accommodate a second one. The keeper is already the limit]

  Madam Ellen stared silently at the portrait of the emperor on the wall.

She sighed insignificantly: "Speaking of... Ian, is he the descendant of the Cehalolvo family who discovered the echo back then? Recently, many families other than us have begun to pay attention to this child. I was thinking about why, and then realized his true identity."

  [Yes] The second prince's heart light body said slowly: [A very bright and potential child, Ba Dun gave me a full score evaluation. He said that it doesn't mean anything if it's just being smart and measured. What's really amazing is that this little guy is quite good at alchemy, inscriptions and sublimation skills. It's already great for ordinary people to be proficient in one of them, but he is proficient in all of them]

[It seems that the hidden background of the Ciehalorvo family for so many years has been consumed on this child. It is worthy of being the big white people back then. strength】

   "Everything starts with them. Hope it ends with them."

  Mrs. Ellen looked at the time, then shook her head slightly: "It's no accident, Ethan has already received him. The children probably need to talk about some private topics. I probably won't be able to see you tonight. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

   "Want to meet him with me?"

[Of course] The shimmering bird seemed to sense something, and then smiled softly: [I'm afraid you don't know, little girl, this young man just used a new type of regenerative potion to save a person who was almost declared dead Victim of a car accident...his alchemy is probably only one step away from master level]

  【Even if you mind, I want to meet him】

   Ask for a monthly pass~
