The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1069

It is said that there is no family relationship in the emperor's family. Although it is somewhat biased, it is not unreasonable. Those who have a good relationship with their father like Hetty can only be counted as a minority.

As the only orthodox heir of the Taharaka Kingdom, Heti can be said to have been favored by her father since she was a child, and the relationship will definitely not be bad.

However, the empire is different. In order to ensure that each generation of emperors is wise and powerful, they need more choices, that is, they cannot put all their eggs in one basket.

This also led to the night life of every emperor of the empire like a stallion, not afraid of having more children, the more the better.

The current emperor's children are enough to form two football teams. No matter how philanthropic the father is, if he distributes so many children, it is conceivable how many children will be left in the end.

Moreover, the emperor also intentionally avoided being too close to his heirs. After all, even an emperor is still a human being, and everyone has emotions and desires.

Once the emperor has a close relationship with a certain child, this is likely to seriously affect the choice of future heirs of the empire, and it is not possible to make a fair and objective evaluation of who is more suitable, which is very detrimental to the survival of the empire.

So Owen doesn't actually have much relationship with his father. Compared with his father's identity, for Owen, the authority of the emperor left a deeper impression on his heart.

When the emperor looked over, the first thing Owen felt was nervousness, followed by the sense of coercion like a mountain pressing on his heart, and even some fear.

But Owen knew that the empire didn't need a cowardly emperor. At this time, Owen should speak out boldly so as to leave a better impression on his father.

He tried to open his mouth, probably because he was too nervous, his throat seemed to be pinched and he couldn't make a sound.

Calm down, I must calm down!

Owen tried his best not to be overwhelmed by the oppressive feeling of the superior, he screamed in his heart, forcing himself to calm down.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes turned and he returned to the documents on the table.

He obviously felt the pressure loosen, and then Owen heard the emperor say:
"What do you think about this matter?"

The tone was unprecedentedly relaxed, like ordinary chatting.

Owen didn't dare to treat this as a simple chat.

What do you think?
There are many opinions on how to look at this, but before that, it is very strange that the emperor would invite Owen to ask him what he thinks.

Unless a certain prince is determined to inherit the throne, the princes and princesses of the empire live incognito. Before this, whether it was the war against Taharaka or the siege of the undead army outside the city, the emperor had never summoned Owen to ask him what he thought.

And this time, why ask him?
Owen was startled immediately. When the emperor heard the report just now, he answered "Is it really a dragon?"

Sure enough, this word caught Owen's attention.

Before the accurate news came, the emperor already had some guesses in his mind, even guesses with a very high rate of accuracy, so he said that it was true, that is, it was exactly the same as what he guessed in his heart.

exposed!
All along, Owen has always been very honest, and shouldn't have attracted the emperor's extra attention. This time, he only made a few moves, so he was noticed?

If exposed, how much does the emperor know?Do you know everything, or just a part of it?
A series of thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and Owen knew that he couldn't delay at this time, and it would become more suspicious if it was delayed for too long.

"Your Majesty, I think this is an opportunity."

Not sure how much the emperor knew, Owen decided to be careful first.

"Oh? Opportunity, tell me."

Having settled down, Owen said:

"Since ancient times, our Yellild Empire has been trapped by the environment. There are few lower and livable areas. In addition, transportation is inconvenient. Even with elite armor and soldiers, it is difficult to continue to develop."

The emperor, who was looking at the document at his desk, made a gesture to continue.

"Although there is a dragon coming, it is still not certain that it is coming towards us. If he goes to other places, just passing by, we can take the opportunity to plunder a lot of land."

"What do you think, is it just based on the fact that dragons won't come to the empire?"

It's very insecure to pin your hopes on someone else, especially the very unreliable idea that dragons won't be interested in the Yellild Empire.

"As you said, if the dragon does not harm us and instead goes to other kingdoms, it is indeed an opportunity, but what if it is coming towards us? What can you do?"

Owen heard a trace of disappointment in the emperor's tone, and immediately said:

"The dragon is too powerful, but it is not invincible. The empire has the most elite group of magicians, as well as the Phoenix stream."

"You mean, send your sister Pamela to deal with the dragon?"

His tone became severe in an instant.

"If possible, I would not propose to let the Phoenix flow deal with the dragon. I read in the library that the Phoenix flow once sealed a dragon in the early days of the empire. They must have retained the method of sealing the dragon."

The emperor stared at Owen, as if trying to see through him:
"Phoenix Liu went to deal with the undead leader some time ago and lost a lot of strength. The seven elite leaders are all in a state of unconsciousness. Although the others are not weak, they are still too weak to deal with the dragon."

"That's why we need the assistance of the Imperial Magician Group. Adventurers are not trustworthy, but I believe that these powers are enough to deal with it."

The emperor put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, organized the documents as if he hadn't heard, and when he was ready slowly, he sighed deeply and said:
"I thought you would suggest that I contact 'those people', those who are called evil cultivators."

Sure enough, the plan was exposed!
Sweat immediately broke out on Owen's forehead, and his heart almost reached his throat.

Wait, since it was exposed, why didn't you just arrest me and come here alone for questioning?

Is there... is there any room for turning around?
"Owen, you are the calmest, calmest and smartest of all my children. I know that you sneaked into my study when you were a child, and I also know that you have a little contact with those people recently. This time there is a question about dragons , You also entrusted them to do it, I guess they thought they were on the big ship of the future emperor, and they would still be able to maintain a cooperative relationship with our Yellilde Empire in the future, am I wrong?"

Owen was sweating profusely, and squeezed out a sentence:

"Your Majesty is right."

"Oh, maybe I put the children among the common people for too long."

The emperor seemed to be mocking himself, and said:
"You have ingenuity, but in terms of conspiracy and tricks, you are far inferior to a normal nobleman in other countries. Your vision is too narrow."

The so-called ass decides the head. Although the empire's habit of selecting the next emperor is very enlightened, it also brings some side effects, that is, these princes and princesses will not be as good at intrigue as their peers in other countries.

In the eyes of the emperor, Owen's little abacus was as ridiculous as a child's play, but Owen still didn't take that step after all. This may be related to his character of not taking risks, otherwise he would not be asking questions now. , but directly pulled to the prison.

"Among the children, only you and Isaac are the most suitable candidates for me. Isaac is optimistic and cheerful. He is outstanding in both martial arts and magic. He also has the bearing of an emperor, but he did not inherit me. ambition."

With that said, the emperor shook his head:
"Let's go back to the topic of dragons. Owen, your plan is good. That dragon is a crisis and an opportunity for the empire. There is no need to test each other. I believe you know what it is capable of. Help the empire open a road to prosperity, but if the control is not good, the empire will soon disappear."

Didn't hold me accountable?
Owen suddenly felt incredible.

Now that the emperor already knew the whole picture, it would be annoying to continue to hide it at this time.

Owen immediately said:
"But the Phoenix Stream has the power to reseal it..."

"Wrong, you were a bit wrong. Back then, the Phoenix Stream had this kind of power, but now, they don't have it."

The emperor said helplessly:
"Owen, it's a good thing that you are keen on reading, but you don't like to go outside like your brothers and sisters. Many things can't be understood by books. It takes more than ten years to train a martial artist, but A martial artist who can learn all the techniques of the Phoenix Style and reach the level of sealing the dragon needs not time, but luck."

This is simply a matter of aptitude. Using the example of Eastern Shenzhou as a metaphor, theoretically speaking, all cultivation techniques can allow monks to break through the Tribulation Immortal, including the most effective method of mending the sky and the one that was complained by monks as impossible to build a foundation. Practice Qi Jue.

But this is just a theory, how many people can really become a robbery immortal?

The reason is the same, the upper limit of the martial arts of the Phoenix style is very high, Sai Li once told Lin Tianci that their ultimate moves are no less than the A-level elf magic of the ancient elves.

The question is, who can learn them all now?
You have exercises, but you don't have suitable disciples.

In the same way, in the view of Zhang Baixi and the others, no matter what kind of supreme magical skills they can compare with outstanding disciples like Lin Tianci, because the skills are dead, and the disciples are the future.

Owen didn't understand this kind of common sense. He only knew that the Phoenix Flow was strong enough to seal dragons, but he didn't think that there were no people who could learn the top skills of the Phoenix Flow.

This is the danger of dead reading, and it has nothing to do with being smart or not.Lin Tianci also had this virtue when he first came down from the mountain, a typical paper talk.

"So, can we only ask those people for help?"

It was only then that Owen realized that the other party would readily agree to his request. I am afraid that Xiexiu knew very well that the Yellild Empire alone would not be able to solve this crisis.

This is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone, which can not only gain Owen's favor, but also make the empire's connection with them closer.

"Remember, as an emperor, you don't need to distinguish between good and evil. You have to understand who is most beneficial to the empire, so as to ensure that you will not be used by the other party, and use the other party as much as possible."

This sentence seems to teach the emperor's mind, and it also makes Owen even more confused.

"It's not a bad idea to ask those people for help. At that time, continuing to use prisoners of war as bargaining chips is still beneficial to the empire, but those people have a lot of appetite, and there will definitely be some troubles in the future. But we still have other options."

Owen was still wondering the meaning of the emperor's last sentence, but when he heard that he was about to speak, he heard a polite knock on the door.

"It seems that another option is coming."
