Chapter 98 The Situation of the Empire

"Do you know my grandpa?" Allen asked curiously.

The old city lord looked back, but with a look of guilt: "I used to admire your grandfather very much. He is a very powerful person. I was lucky enough to know him. It's a pity that later..."

Allen recalled what Karen's butler said to him before he set off: "It's a pity what happened next?"

"Later, because I was afraid of being involved in the political vortex of the empire, I almost cut off contact with the outside world. Our Haiyu City also happens to be on the border of the sea where no one cares about it. So it has been very peaceful until now." The old city owner Looking at Allen, he said apologetically: "I heard that your Stormwind City was rapidly declining because of the food. I... I was in my own troubles, so I just gave you a little food. Afterwards, we gradually lost contact.”

"It's like this." It seems that Karen's housekeeper is right.

"But looking at you now, and your powerful and mysterious army, I think you have gone through the predicament. It's really great. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you back then. Mr. Coblo gave you I helped a lot, and I..." The old city lord bowed his head guiltily.

"It's okay, those are all in the past, and our Stormwind City has slowly returned to the right track." Allen smiled casually.

"Oh, there was really no way back then, but I didn't expect that there would be no peace here." The old city lord looked at the messy ruins beside him and sighed.

Allen heard the hidden meaning in the old city lord's words: "Old city lord, you just said what happened to you, and it made you stop contacting the outside world like this."

"Hey, it's a long story. Since you asked, Lord Alan, I have nothing to hide. It's okay to tell you, but you can also be a little defensive." The old city owner began to slowly talk about the events of the year.

Allen listened quietly.

"That's how it is."

Allen was very surprised at this time. He didn't expect that under the quiet empire, there would be such an undercurrent. He originally thought that he could develop in Stormwind City for a few years.

"Old city lord, do you know that those people from the royal family are going to cause chaos in the empire. And what factions are we divided into in the southern border!" Allen began to frantically supplement his lack of knowledge.

The old city lord was a little surprised and said: "Don't you know these things? Didn't your father explain anything to you when he passed on the throne to you?"

Allen rubbed his head in embarrassment and said: "My father didn't tell me these things. Since I became the city owner, I have been paying attention to how to restore Stormwind City to its previous prosperity. So my understanding of these is almost zero."

The old city lord smiled and said, "Since you are willing to listen to me, then I, an old man, will tell you everything."

The old city lord said that he was looking to the northeast, which was the direction of the imperial capital of the empire: "I don't know exactly who has any conspiracy, but our empire has two forces a long time ago, one is a few people in the royal family who are close to the church. The prince, one is the heir to the royal family with the backing of some old ministers, usually the first heir, but in recent years, another new force has emerged, this force is dominated by the princess of the current empire , are all supported by some emerging nobles, and the most important thing is that His Majesty appreciates the Eldest Princess very much."

Alan was a little puzzled. Since she is the eldest princess, she should be the first in line of succession. But why didn't the veteran ministers support the eldest princess? Alan expressed his doubts in his heart.

The old city lord smiled and said: "Actually, there are many reasons for this matter. The first is that our human empire does not have the custom of a woman being the emperor, so even if she is the eldest princess, she has no right to succeed to the throne. The second point is that the eldest princess According to her identity, the eldest princess is not a pure human being, her mother is an elf."

"Elf!" Allen was a little surprised.

"Yes, this is a well-known piece of news. The elf of her mother actually fell in love with an elf by chance when His Majesty was still the prince. His Majesty brought the elf back to the imperial capital. At that time, everyone in the royal family protested. They got married, but for some reason, the emperor at that time, His Majesty's father, agreed to their marriage. Unfortunately, after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the elf gave birth to the current eldest princess , but that elf passed away for unknown reasons.”

"That is to say, this eldest princess is actually a half-elf!" Allen understood the reason why a human empire would be willing to let a half-elf take power.

"Yes, I have to say that this eldest princess is indeed very powerful. She not only has a strong talent for magic since she was a child, but she is also very good at all kinds of politics. She even achieved many achievements when she was young. If it weren't for the She is a woman, and a half-elf, and the throne must be hers."

"As for the other question you asked, the current state of our southern border is actually very obvious now. Since the imperial capital has become more and more lax in the management of various places, the lords of those factions have also revealed their purposes more and more. It can be said that the southern border also needs to It's starting to get messy!"

"Let's talk about the first power mentioned before, which is to support other heirs. Their power can be said to be the weakest in the empire, but they also have great strength. These are all because of their backing church. And support the first The heir, that is, the faction of the current second prince has the greatest strength. The most obvious one in our southern border is the Earl of the Blood Glory Fortress, followed by the emerging lord, the Bloodseal City, and others, large and small. There are many more, because of the help of those old ministers, the second prince also has many lords from all over the world who are loyal."

"The eldest princess is very shallow in this regard, because those who support her are all new nobles, and most of them don't have their own territories. But the relationship between the eldest princess and the Wizards Guild is very close."

"Here, I would like to say that apart from those city lords who have factions, there are still many who remain neutral. The neutrality in our southern border is headed by Xiongying City, and they all maintain a wait-and-see attitude."

...

Time passed slowly, and this communication with the old city lord has gained Alan a lot.

"Old city lord, thank you so much for telling me so many things, I am so grateful." Allen thanked him sincerely.

"It's okay. These are trivial matters. We should go back. You must have had a hard time traveling so far. I'll ask Ke Luo to arrange for your soldiers to take a good rest later." The old city lord smiled.

"Thank you so much!"
