Chapter 425 Prepare for War

Terenas drank his tea and said, "I think so too. This book is the most brilliant one I've read about the Red Rebellion so far. I almost believe it is the real history."

Hearing Terenas' high evaluation of the book, Helot became very interested: "Is it really as wonderful as you said?"

"You can take a look now. I have time to wait."

"Okay, I'll read this book now. If you feel sleepy, you can let my servant take you to rest."

Terenas replied: "I will wait for you here."

Helot opened the book and looked.

The first page is the oath sworn by the thirteen founding families in response to the empire's first constitution.

Then, with the rapid decline of the Claulund family as a prologue, the epic story full of betrayal and killing slowly unfolds.

The book does not describe much about the Claulund family, after all, it was unable to participate in the war, but the author of the book described the former Claulund family as extremely powerful. The reason why the Bloody Rebellion broke out was that the decline of the Claulund family caused the founding dukes to lose their powerful checks and balances on the Golden Family...

Then in the second chapter, the protagonist of the novel appears.

He was born into a dark family and was the illegitimate son of the romantic Duke of Denashi.

The Dark Family's bloodline is shadowy, which makes the members of the Denasi Family natural assassins. They are good at stealing intelligence, infiltration and sabotage, and targeted assassinations.

However, as an illegitimate child, the protagonist's identity was not recognized by the Denasi family. Even after the Duchess knew of his existence, she sent people to hunt him down.

But like all the protagonists of novels, the protagonist did not die, but had various adventures in various adversities. He made many friends in his adventures and became stronger and stronger in the face of dangers. Of course, this was inseparable from the secret help of his father, the Duke.

The novel is set against the backdrop of the protagonist's growth, telling the story of how the conflict between the royal family and the nobility becomes increasingly serious, and how the eleven founding dukes gradually choose sides and establish two opposing camps.

On the same day that the protagonist was accepted as a member of the Dark Family, the war broke out.

The protagonist also met the love of his life during the war, a princess of the Golden Family. He was an assassin that the imperial army feared, and she was a brave and invincible general on the battlefield. They both loved each other deeply, but the hatred of their families forced them to hide this love in their hearts.

In the end, the protagonist's strength could not change the fact that the noble army was defeated. When the imperial army attacked the castle of the Denasi family, the princess wanted to let him escape secretly, but the protagonist chose to live and die with the family in order not to implicate the princess.

The protagonist died.

Not long after, the princess gave birth to a baby boy and secretly sent the child abroad before anyone else found out.

Helot turned the last page and the rising sun shone in from the window.

Closing the book, Helot said, "It's a wonderful novel."

Terenas, who had been dozing off, immediately woke up: "As a novel, it is indeed very exciting. But if someone takes it as real history, it will be a big problem. After all, that period of history has passed for such a long time."

"Yes, history is the past, so some people use it to make articles."

It is impossible to verify whether the protagonist of the novel is real. Even if the most authoritative historian of the empire says that the protagonist is fictional, people can still choose not to believe it.

If the protagonist is recognized as real, since he is accepted as a member of the Dark Family by Duke Denasi, he has the legal right to inherit the Dukedom. In the novel, there is also a description of the protagonist marrying the princess in private, so the child that the princess gave birth to for the protagonist without telling anyone is the first heir of the Dark Family who survived the war.

This is going to be a novel, writing a biography for the few people in this dark family who have escaped the net!

Moreover, the novel's stance is clearly on the side of the noble army, and the imperial army is the treacherous villain...

Terenas said worriedly: "This book is very popular now. Even though the Empire is trying its best to ban its sale, ordinary people can still buy it easily. There are too many people who have this book, and the Imperial Military Police cannot arrest everyone.

Today... no, yesterday His Majesty summoned me, scolded me, and told me that I must resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

I have no choice but to come to you at night."

Helot was thinking about countermeasures.

This is an almost unsolvable conspiracy. As long as the novel continues to sell well, the history in the novel can replace the real history. Now that it has spread, there is no point in banning its sale. Instead, people will think that the story in the novel is true and the empire wants to erase that shameful history.

“Cancel the sales ban first!”

Terenas said, "When I return, I will immediately order the ban to be lifted. Then what?"

"And then? Get ready for battle!"

Terenas' eyes widened. "I've been waiting for you for a whole night, just waiting for you to give me a good solution. Your answer is too perfunctory!"

Helot opened the first page of the book, pointed to the oath on it and said: "None of us can know what happened in that period of history, but it is an indisputable fact that the Bradley family killed all the brothers who once lived in the family. Even if we use an ingenious method to solve the impact of this book, the executioner can write another book.

The empire is not facing an ordinary rebellion now. The opponent's financial resources and power are definitely beyond our imagination. Since the executioners have united people with the founding duke family, they have decided that they must move towards their goal step by step. Stagnation will cause them to collapse internally.

This war is inevitable, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks out. We should prepare for it as soon as possible and find a way to win it."

"Is it really impossible to save it?" Terenas knew that what Helot was saying was right, but he still wanted to get the "solution" from him.

Helot turned to the first chapter of the book and pointed to the content about the Claulund family and said, "It will not do us any good if the Claulund family gets too involved in this fight, and Your Majesty probably doesn't want you to be too influenced by me. I can help you investigate the executioner, but please don't drag the Claulund family into the war.

It does no good to either party.”

Terenas understood what Helot meant.

The Claulund family, which has a large army of undead, is too powerful. When the empire was first established, the Claulund family and the Bradley family were both supported by other families as candidates for the imperial emperor, but the Claulund family finally chose to give the crown to the Bradley family.

Gold represents wealth and prosperity.

Later, the rapid decline of the Claulund family did indeed make the royal family less check and balance, allowing the empire to dare to kill the disobedient duke.

Now that the Claulund family has regained its lost power, Emperor Bradley has become wary. If Helot takes the undead army to participate in this civil war again, even if it is to support the royal family, Emperor Bradley will probably not be able to sleep well.

Anxiety and suspicion will eventually lead to disastrous consequences!
Only if the Claulund family does not show any ambition, the empire can devote more energy to dealing with this crisis. At least, it will not take action against the Claulund family until victory is certain.

"Okay..." Terenas was a little helpless. He knew that Helot really had no interest in power, but others might not think so. "Just help me investigate the prisoner and notify me immediately if you have any news."

"Melis has been doing this."

Terenas knew that Helot had given him a perfunctory response again, so he could only stand up and yawn: "I'm too sleepy. I'll go back to sleep, and then go to the palace to be scolded in the afternoon."

Terenas left. Helot picked up The Blood Rose and started reading it again.

From the content of the book, we can roughly judge that the fourth-level extraordinary duke among the executors should be of dark bloodline. This novel is to compile a legal identity for him so that when the war breaks out, he can carry the banner of the new noble army.

It seems that winning over the Claulund family is no longer the first option for the prisoner.

My non-cooperation and even repeated sabotage have worn out their patience.

However, they still held a glimmer of hope for the Claulund family. Instead of discrediting the Claulund family in the book, they elevated the status of the Claulund family.

It seems that as long as he does not clearly stand on the side of the Bradley family, he will still be one of the options for the prisoner.

Helot was absorbed in reading the book, trying to find more clues from it.

At noon, the butler reported: "Officer Melissa is here."

"Bring her here!"

In order to fight against the remaining forces of the Deep Hell, Melissa led the 13th Investigation Team to travel all over the Empire. Helot often stayed in the Origin World and did not come out, so the two missed many opportunities to meet.

Soon Melissa came in led by Kurt.

The two stood opposite each other, staring at each other intently.

Kurt tactfully took all the servants away and closed the door.

"Are you okay?" Helot didn't know that the first sentence he said when he saw Melissa was just a very ordinary greeting.

Melissa smiled and said, "I'm fine! How about you?"

"I'm fine too. Sit down and tell me your story..."

Melissa sat down: "Before I tell you my story, I have good news for you."

Helot asked with great interest: "What good news?"

"The prisoner has a large genetic mutant breeding base in the Comossa Islands."

Helot had always suspected that there was a base for the prisoner in the Comossa Islands. Melissa's news confirmed this suspicion. "How did you know?"

Melissa replied, "I encountered the Fallen King when I was tracking down the Deep Hell. Although he escaped, I found some information that he had not destroyed in time from his hiding place. The Fallen King was recuperating in the Comossos Islands, and I also found a key."

Melissa took out a key and threw it to Helot.

Helot took it. There was a tag hanging on the key with a few numbers and a pattern of unknown meaning on it.

Helot looked at the pattern carefully: "It doesn't look like a magic rune."

Melissa laughed. "Of course this isn't a magic rune. It's the logo of a well-known resort in the Comossa Islands. The number on it is probably the room number."

Helot couldn't help but laugh. Whenever he saw some special symbols, he would unconsciously associate them with magic.

“Have you checked out this resort?”

"My next stop is the Comosso Islands. I came here to ask you if you are willing to go with me. I need a bodyguard who can fight in a group."

The Comoss Islands are far away from the Empire and belong to a semi-autonomous territory. The governor of the Comoss Islands appointed by the Empire is only the highest official in name, and the Comoss Biological Research Association actually controls the Comoss Islands.

The members of the Komosas Biological Research Association are almost all large biomedical companies, and they own most of the islands. Their work includes researching special organisms on the archipelago, planting rare medicinal herbs, developing new drugs, and creating genetically modified humans.

In order to protect their interests in the archipelago, the Comossa Biological Research Association has its own army and even a large private navy.

Many large biopharmaceutical companies also have their own mercenaries.

Although the Empire has a Royal Navy under the command of the Governor in the Comosso Islands, the overall strength is far behind the Comosso Biological Research Agreement, so they stay in the port most of the time. As long as these biopharmaceutical companies pay the taxes they should pay, the Governor does not care what they do in the islands.

There must be a large biopharmaceutical company behind the prisoner. It would be very dangerous to investigate the prisoner in the Comossos Islands.

It was impossible for Melissa to bring an army to the Comossos Islands, so she had to find Helot, who was an army in himself.

Helot was definitely going to go: "I've heard that the Comosso Islands have beautiful scenery, and there are many very special magical creatures there. I should give myself a long vacation and go on a spontaneous trip."

Melissa was very happy that Helot was willing to accompany her to the Comossos Islands. "I will arrange an airship to the Comossos Islands now."

"Wait a minute." Helot stopped Melissa and said, "We two can't really go to the Comosso Islands in the name of vacation. It would be like telling the prisoner that we are coming for you."

"I think no matter what name we go under, the prison guards will be alert."

Helot said: "It's better to have a reason than no reason. It's better to be invited..."

Melissa knew Helot very well: "It seems that you have a solution."

"Of course! I'll introduce you to a friend."

Helot snapped his fingers, and the head maid Mai Nur pushed the door open and walked in: "Master, do you have any instructions?"

"Go find Master Milo and ask him to bring the information on how to cultivate bread fungus."

Melissa said, "I know Master Milo, but what is bread fungus?"

"You know him, so there's no need for me to introduce him again. As for what bread fungus is, I'll tell you when he gets here."

Milo lived in the manor as a guest of Helot, and there was also a laboratory belonging to him.

So it wasn't long before Master Milo and his disciple Stephen were brought in by Mai Nur.

When Master Milo saw Melissa, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, Princess, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Melissa: "There is no princess here, just call me Melissa."

Helot also said: "Yes, there are no princesses here, we are all friends. Didn't you say a while ago that... the Sea Island Group invited me to their headquarters in the Comosso Islands to discuss the cultivation of bread fungi?"
