Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"No, we don't want to unite with your country, because we know very well that it is not good for us to participate in the affairs of human beings. However, the words of the Devil's Cult appearing in Daxia now...I think everything It's possible."

Eleanor said here, and said thoughtfully.

Xia Yuxiao smiled.

Although what the other party said was cryptic, the main meaning was already very clear.

It is true that the blood race will not unite with the Great Xia. This is not to say that the blood race is unwilling, but that if the two join forces, it will give the church and other countries an excuse.

The blood race used to fight against humans, and joined forces with former enemies. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.If Daxia unites with the blood race, it is tantamount to publicly stating: All eyes are on me, and I will say one thing, I am in an alliance with the blood race!

This is a very desperate option. No matter how powerful the Great Xia is, it has not yet reached the level where it can confront all countries.

And now, the Demon Cult has made a comeback.

A considerable part of the skills in the Demon Cult are actually obtained by fusing and changing the spells of the blood clan. Of course, some spells of the demon clan and some relatively powerful skills of Daxia are also mixed in it.The Demon Cult is able to survive now because it is inextricably linked with the church. The church once accepted them and gave them financial support for a long time.

If you want to say that the Devil's Cult is about to make a move this time, she wouldn't believe it without the Church's support behind it.

The blood clan will not directly ally with Daxia, but the blood clan can share some spells and other things with Daxia to a certain extent.If anyone doubts the source of Daxia's new spell, it can be said that it was obtained from the remaining books of the Demon Cult.If the other party still intends to continue entanglement...

Then Daxia can have a good talk with the church about the church's support for the Demon Cult.

"If we can establish cooperation between us, what kind of communication and mutual trust can the blood race and us have? What are you willing to give? What can we provide?"

"You don't need to provide anything, Your Majesty the Emperor. To put something you may not like, the current Great Xia poses a great threat to the blood clan. If you are an enemy of your country and then the church, then it will be difficult for the blood clan Gain an advantage in the competition with other races. Besides, although we have different paths, the ultimate goal we can pursue is the same."

Having said that, Eleanor looked at Xia Yuxiao's golden pupils.

"Your Yuanzu, is he okay now?"

Xia Yuxiao was silent for a long time, then, with a teasing smile, she asked.

"Thanks to you, Master Yuanzu is still fine now. No one in the clan knows the existence of Yuanzu except our True Ancestor." Eleanor licked his lips, "However, the blood clan can only do this This is the end, after all, we are the creations of the original ancestors, and we have exhausted all the abilities of our true ancestors, but now we can only suppress it in the stage of deep sleep. When He will wake up, none of us know, but at least We can all guess that there's not much time left."

"This is why we hope to establish contact with you. Your Majesty the Emperor, I think you and your ancestors are the ones who can empathize with the so-called 'fate' the most. We will have a common language."

Chapter 55 Survey

When Xia Yuxiao and Eleanor walked out of the room, they had already reached some basic consensus.

Da Xia will consider having an in-depth discussion with the Blood Race on cooperation matters, but all of this must be done on the premise of basic safety and both parties are guaranteed. Xia Yuxiao believes in Eleanor, but she does not believe in the Blood Race. Their traits are sane and cunning (except when they crave blood), and if they take their word for it, that could be a problem.

With the help of the True Ancestor, Eleanor, perhaps the two sides can make some breakthroughs.

"Oh, that's right," Eleanor suddenly remembered something, "I heard that your country has specially hired some people to be responsible for learning the magic of blood races, right?"

The spells of the blood race had been handed over to Daxia related books before, Xia Yuxiao immediately asked Tianshifu to study and improve them, and try to transform them into exercises suitable for Daxia people to practice.

However, no matter how it is modified, the most basic spell of this vampire still uses blood as the medium. Such spells are really not suitable for humans.After all, under the premise of not using other people's blood, if you want to cast a spell successfully, you must use your own blood as a medium. In this way, it is easy to squeeze yourself dry when you really go to the battlefield.

"For the time being, I understand it for the time being. We are still not quite used to the spells of the blood race."

"I'll teach you a trick. In fact, the spells of the blood race can be used without blood. Although the effect is not that strong, at least it can be used. As for the method of use, you can just remove the ancient pronunciation of a few of the blood race when you sing."

"So simple!?"

"The main strength of the blood race lies in the ancient language of the blood race from the ancestor period. The more these ancient words are used in singing, the greater the efficiency of spells can be obtained. So if you remove those ancient sounds, it is actually equivalent to reducing A considerable part of the characteristics of blood clan spells will still have effects and will be weakened, but in fact I think these are enough for humans to use."

"Thank you for your advice."

"I don't have the ability to teach you," Eleanor smiled wryly, "I don't quite understand the formations and techniques that have been handed down from your Great Xia to this day, but I think the spells of the blood race may be more suitable for your country. Just use it. Anyway, I don’t think you can learn the holy arts of the Holy Church.”

"If you really want to stay in Daxia in the future, have you considered coming to the court to work?" Xia Yuxiao kept everything she said in mind, and then sent out an invitation that was not considered an invitation.

If a true ancestor level figure can really play in Daxia, then it is naturally the best.Besides, the time Eleanor lived has accumulated valuable experience and knowledge for her. In any case, no matter what level she is at, she will be a rare talent.

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to stay in one place for too long, but it's okay to stay in one place for more than ten years."

When Eleanor said this, a follower of the dragon guard walked up to Xia Yuxiao.

Xia Yuxiao stopped in her tracks:

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the investigation of Lingyan has a basic clue."

Said Sui Longwei.

Xia Yuxiao glanced at Eleanor, and then smiled: "Miss Eleanor probably hasn't visited the Royal Garden yet, right? Later, I will let someone take you to visit the Royal Garden. All the Royal Gardens in my palace are It was built by integrating the scenery of various places, and it is still worth seeing.”

As a true ancestor who has lived for so long, she naturally knows what Xia Yuxiao means: "The Emperor's Majesty is so kind, and I can't live up to it, so I will trouble you to arrange it."

Arranging to leave Eleanor, Xia Yuxiao stood in the yard: "Tell me, what's the result of the investigation?"

"Your Majesty, during the investigation outside, our people discovered those letters with Lingyan's handwriting, and among these letters, the handwriting and Lingyan's handwriting are generally the same, and what is written on it is about being in charge of the Great Xia army. Things. The details mentioned, and the itinerary of Lord Taiwei mentioned are exactly the same. But..."

"But what?" Xia Yuxiao asked immediately.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

The follower Longwei presented two pieces of paper with both hands.

The handwriting on the two pieces of paper was exactly the same, and one of them, Xia Yuxiao recognized, was the Xie En Zhe written by Lingyan according to the convention when Feng Lingyan was the leader of the Huilin Department.

And the other one is the letter that communicated with the Demon Cult.

The handwriting was exactly the same, Xia Yuxiao compared the writing of the same characters between the two, and she couldn't tell any difference anyway.

"There is no difference in the writing."

"Indeed, Your Majesty, the ministers have not been able to find any difference in the handwriting, but please read it, Your Majesty."

The follower of the dragon guard waved, and the other follower of the dragon guard came over, holding a glass of water.

Sui Longwei picked up two pieces of paper and soaked the corners with clean water.

Probably considering that one of the papers was written by Xiang Xia Yuxiao, this dragon guard didn't soak the whole paper, but just a corner.Then, take out the two sheets of paper.

Xia Yuxiao looked at the two pieces of paper and immediately understood what he meant.

The Xie Enfold of Lingyan, although its wet corners are wet, the paper is still basically intact, and the handwriting is not blurred, and the whole paper has not been changed by soaking in water as if it were oiled paper.

However, another letter written to the Devil's Cult had some rough fibers at the corners, and the handwriting was also blurred and blurred.

"Your Majesty, although the two handwritings are the same, the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones used inside the court are still very different from those outside the court. The paper used inside the court of Daxia is fine and flexible, and can be restored to its original state after being wet. The words written in ink will not disperse when soaked in water."

This is nothing more than a normal thing. In order to ensure the accuracy of the letters passed between the officials of the Daxia court and avoid damage and blurring, the letter paper and ink are of the highest grade, and there are specialized workshops for large-scale production, although It is also sold externally to a certain extent, but it is actually a minority that flows into the private sector.

"And the letter paper used in this letter is neither the paper and ink used by the Great Xia court, nor the general use of the Daxia folk. In this state, it is more commonly used in some Western countries. Because it is cheap, and It writes well when it is not immersed in water, so it is very popular in those countries."

"What I mean is that if Lingyan really lies in the communication with the Demon Cult... it won't be possible, let's use this kind of paper, let's not say that our country does not import such goods in large quantities now, even if there is, with her Even if you use the ordinary paper products of Daxia people, I am afraid that such characteristics will not appear."

Daxia is the country that is best at playing with paper. Even the folk paper is of good quality. There is no need for Lingyan to travel thousands of miles to buy foreign inferior paper to use.

"What else was found?"

"Your Majesty has temporarily locked down some areas. Please make a clear conclusion. Among these people, there are suspicions of colluding with the Devil's Cult. I even suspect that some of them are members of the Devil's Cult."

Chapter 56 Sit Down and Talk

Xia Yuxiao glanced at the list, her expression changed.

"Is there any problem with your investigation?"

"There is evidence to check, Your Majesty, at least they are suspected. The ministers are afraid to do it now, because they are worried that they will startle the snake. After all, they are only in charge of execution now, and the one who is really behind the scenes is probably still there. Can't move around."

"I made a mistake again..."

Xia Yuxiao looked at the list helplessly, then smiled wryly.

"Your Majesty, there is no way. After all, even the wisest emperor among my ancestors in the Great Xia Dynasty cannot avoid similar incidents. As long as there are people, these incidents will eventually occur. If the whole country can be clear, then Not a gentleman anymore."

Sui Longwei said so.

To be honest, in his opinion, compared with the time of the first emperor, even though the military virtues are not as strong as that of the first emperor, the internal affairs of the current Great Xia are much better.A considerable part of the malpractice left by the first emperor at that time has been dealt with, and the original policy of wasting people and money has returned to the right track under Xia Yuxiao's control.

No matter how capable a monarch is, he is still a human being, and his subjects are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, they will make mistakes. On this point, they, as the dragon guards, know better than anyone else.

"In this position of emperor, sometimes I really don't want to do it. To be honest, when I am really tired, I have thought about whether I should really let the Taiwei directly take charge of the government..."

"Your Majesty, you can't just say this to others."

"I'm just joking. Although I have this idea, it is really impossible to realize it. Besides," she turned her head and looked at the overlapping eaves and pavilions outside Tai'an City in the distance. After all, someone still needs to deal with it. Oh, by the way, you can bring my official documents here today, I will work here. "

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Do as I said. In addition, you should continue to investigate the relevant evidence for this matter. The mastermind behind the scenes, you have put forward so many clues, do you have any clues?"

"...Your Majesty, no."

Sui Longwei said.

"No, or dare not say?" Xia Yuxiao didn't look him in the eyes, just from his momentary pause and tone, she got a general idea.

"Your Majesty, I dare not jump to conclusions on this matter. Please give me a few days to wait for conclusive evidence..."

"...I'm embarrassing you. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. You are right. We still have to wait for the evidence to be confirmed before deciding on it. The palace is still stable for the time being. If Jump to conclusions, if you are wrong, Taiwei's matter, plus this matter that is currently being investigated, will make Tai'an City very lively."

"Your Majesty is wise. However, I saw that His Majesty dispatched the black armored cavalry before, so I thought that Your Majesty wanted to..."

"Fight with the Taiwei? Then you really treat Daxia's Jiangshan Sheji as nothing." She rubbed her temples, "Since the edict sent to the black armor cavalry can be intercepted, then I dare not now Putting the black armored cavalry outside to allow others to succeed again, it is better to call the black armored cavalry in directly. Firstly, to prevent the Taiwei from really planning to perish together, make a little preparation-this is actually unlikely; secondly, it is also for Defend the city of Tai'an to prevent the Taiwei and Zhen from being in danger; as for the third..."

She sneered:

"If you adjust the black armor to ride into Tai'an City at this time, those people who are behind the scenes probably won't feel that there is an operation against them, right?"

Sui Longwei was stunned, and then said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, good means."

"There's no need for flattery, I've heard too much," she waved her hand, "By the way, your child, are you also preparing for the martial arts exam recently?"

"Yes, that brat wants to join the army and serve the country. He said he wants to be a pillar like Duke An..."

Xia Yuxiao was happy after hearing this.

"He is King An, and this matter needs to be rectified. In addition, um... tell him after returning home, I will not give him any preferential treatment just because his father is a follower of the Dragon Guard, but as long as If he can pass the exam, I don't mind letting him learn things under the Taiwei."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"The future of Daxia is in the hands of these young people. I am still clear about this. It is a good thing for people like Qin Taiwei to be regarded as idols by young people. If ignorant people who can make money and fame become idols, then this country will be hopeless."

"Yes, I will inform the dog of His Majesty's instruction."
