Summoning the Holy Sword

The old man sat quietly in his seat, staring blankly at the round table in front of him. In the bright conference hall, the atmosphere was extremely dull at the moment. Next to the old man, a well-dressed man stood quietly, lowered his head, held the paper in his hand, and said the words above, word by word, but his voice was also extremely bitter.

"At present, there are signs of widespread famine in our country. Food prices have skyrocketed. In addition to the harbour area, which can barely satisfy self-sufficiency, the rest of the country has experienced varying degrees of famine and famine. Not only that, we are still supporting us Less than a two-thirds majority of the fighting population, and because most of the soldiers were sent to the front, we could not even find enough staff to expel the mob. In addition, in the border areas, those barbarians Aggression also ... "

"OK OK."

Hearing here, the old man waved his hands weakly and interrupted the other party's statement. He moved his body hardly, as if he was a sick person, and was completely unable to continue to move. He looked up helplessly and looked up. Conference hall. The bright sunlight pours through the windows into the large conference hall, but now it is completely gone. In the eyes of the elderly, there are only a dozen or so representatives from different forces and organizations sitting on the round table. Behind them, there should be less than dozens of people who should be crowded and noisy. Seeing this scene in front of him, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he knew that the current situation was difficult, but he overestimated the council's binding force on these nobles and businessmen. He used to be very optimistic that the establishment of the Southern Parliament was the common responsibility and common interest of businessmen and nobles, so even if something happened, in order to safeguard their interests, these people should be able to abandon their prejudices and move forward together, Only in this way can we overcome the difficulties. But now ... the old man turned his cloudy eyes and looked at the people in front of him. He knew very well that these people were still watching, and once they saw something wrong, they would immediately pull away from it and leave here. . But now, they cannot leave. As long as they stay, there is hope. They have paid so much for this day. As long as they can continue to support them, they still have hope for victory!

Thinking of this, the old man sat up straight, he glanced around deeply, and then said.

"I think ... everyone has seen and heard ... everything that happened recently, I admit that the current situation in our country is not very good, and because of this, some people have chosen to escape and quit. I do n’t They will blame them, that is their own choice. But, everyone, I think you should also be very clear, when we choose this road to start, we have to face these. This is not a smooth journey, everyone, our Each step is difficult and bumpy. But the path to freedom is the same. Think of the council of light, when they took the power of our humanity from the hands of the dragon of light, was it very smooth? , We just encountered such a small set of twists and turns, are we going to give up? "

"This is not our responsibility! Lord Parliament!"

Finally, someone could not help but retorted.

"If it wasn't for the mean and shameless royal family that burned our food reserves, how could we be where we are now?"

"Is accusation useful?"

When he heard his words, the old man's eyes flashed, but when he saw the old parliament's eyes, the man was dumb and closed his mouth.

"They are our enemies now. How can you count on the enemies to have mercy on you! Moreover, we do not have any evidence to prove this now. It is pointless to entangle this problem here. We must think of a solution to solve the immediate problem. Problem. "

Having said that, the old man paused for a moment and took a long breath, before turning his head and looking at a man dressed as a businessman next to him.

"Saville, what did I ask you to do?"

"... Mr. Parliament, I have contacted the Chamber of Commerce in the country of Light, as you have ordered, and I hope to receive food aid from them, but ... but their asking price is too high! It is almost three to Five times !!! This is a big burden for us! "

"......... promise them!"

The old parliamentarian gritted his teeth. Of course, he knew that when the southern parliament sent troops to the parliament of light, they had made a request to the parliament of light, hoping that they could provide some food supplies to fill the deficit. They have been procrastinating and have not promised them. In desperation, the Southern Parliament can only seek the assistance of the domestic chamber of commerce, and these businessmen naturally sit on the ground and start asking for money. The southern parliament originally planned to slow down a bit and lower prices. But now, the situation is compelling, they have no way out.

"But the Lord Parliament, even if the food we ship from the Land of Light is not enough to meet the needs of so many people, let alone the ration of 70,000 soldiers on the front line is yet to be resolved, we ... ... "

"Insufficient food, we have no other way at the moment. But, everyone, let us not forget our strengths."

"Strength?"

After hearing this, many people finally raised their heads and began to look intently at the old parliamentary head in front of them, feeling their eyes, the old parliamentary head nodded with satisfaction. Now, the atmosphere in the parliament finally It is no longer a stagnant water as it was just now. Although the old parliamentary president is not without doubt about this plan, he can only do so now in order to maintain this immediate hope.

"Yes, guys, I think you have also seen, because of food shortages, there have been varying degrees of damage in various parts of our country, but only the harbour area can remain stable. Do you know what the reason is?"

"This………………"

"The main food in the harbour area is mainly seafood, so they have not been affected much. Right now, it is the fishing season. We can issue orders in the name of the parliament and ask the fishermen in the harbour area to work non-stop all day. , And process these as quickly as possible and ship them to areas with severe famine! This will temporarily ease the crisis there and prepare us for our next move! "

"But, Lord Parliament."

After hearing the words of the parliamentarians, everyone was in front of them, but soon, some people put forward different opinions uneasily.

"Even if you say you want to fish, there are limits to fishing, and how do you ship these seafood to various inland areas? This requires a lot of money. Also, in the past, operations in the harbor area were restricted. What can we do next year if fishing is carried out without restrictions? Besides, fishing is not a long-term solution after all. Now the special ambassador of the Light Council is already in the Golden City, but the woman has excuses to go out and be late Procrastination. If she continues to be dragged on like this, how long can we hold on? "

"If we can't hold on even now, then there is no future."

The old parliamentarian took a deep breath and stared at the crowd, saying it word by word.

"We must stand up, and that woman will not hide from us forever. As long as we can persist for three months, we will win the dawn of victory!"

"Three months?"

"Yes, I think you still remember that after three months, it will be the Dragon Sacred Book, and at that time, the woman will definitely go to the Land of Light to meet the Dragon Soul of Light on behalf of the principality. As long as that time, she It is no longer possible to evade the question of the Council of Light! And we will see the dawn of victory! "

Speaking of which, the old man raised his hand high, and hearing his words, those dejected and silent members of parliament, at this moment also regained energy and courage. As the old parliamentary said, since they dare to do so, they have already realized the difficulties they face. However, if there is no future and no hope, then persistence is meaningless no matter how. But now, when I heard the old parliamentarian say this, they suddenly realized that they had renewed their courage. Insufficient food and frequent internal disturbances, if this is not the end, then this is the real nightmare. But now, if we just let them stay for three months, there is still no problem.

After thinking about this, the originally dull atmosphere of the conference hall revived, and the members stood up one by one, waving their fists, expressing their determination and courage.

"Yes, we can't give up yet, guys, don't forget our ideals and expectations!"

"That's right, those cowardly escapes will one day regret it!"

"well!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, the old man's eyes reappeared with gratification. He coughed twice and raised his hands to signal everyone's quietness. Then he continued to speak.

"Since everyone has no opinions, it is so decided. Now, I ask you to inform the public about this and to maintain public order and order on the street. At the moment, such a thing is largely due to the public's Their future is disturbed. As long as we can ensure their lives are stable, many troubles will be resolved. Also, I ask the Southern Fleet to go to the Strait of Light immediately to guard the commercial passage there to avoid the attack of the King ’s army. Harassment. From now on, the harbour area must be fully operational to ensure food resources in other areas, tell the fishermen that we will buy at twice the price, and let them do it with confidence. "

Having said that, the old man slowly stood up and looked at the people in front of him.

"Not only the front line is fighting, everyone, this is also a war invisible to us. We must not fall here. Only the winner can stand to the end. We must be the winner! "

The noise disappeared.

As the parliamentarians revived one by one, the huge conference hall became quiet and quiet again. The old parliament leader stood in front of his seat and looked at the empty conference room, and for the first time showed a smile of relief. Then his expression changed suddenly.

"Cough ... keke !!"

With the intense coughing sound, the old man stooped and bent down, his thin body shivered, and the sharp coughing echoed in the silent conference hall. It was not until a moment later that the old man stopped. He breathed slowly and straightened his body again, and at this moment, a shocking bright red color appeared on the handkerchief in front of the old man.

"I can't fall down ......... everything, it's not over yet ... we still have hopes of victory ..."

Looking at the blood stains in front of him, the old parliament murmured to himself, then he stood upright, straightened his spine again, and then the old parliament president turned around and left the conference hall.

The cold wind whizzed past, bringing forth plumes of white smoke, and the pungent scent came, making people feel the index finger move.

"Sure enough, the fresh fish that has just come out is the most delicious."

Lydia sits leisurely by the lake, with her hands on her knees, and with a proud and playful smile, she looks at the wide and deep blue amber in front of her eyes. From a distance, the blue sky and the blue lake seem to reflect each other. It's like one, blending with each other, boundless.

"From spring to autumn, only the color of change in this world is the most beautiful. Ice has turned into water, and water has turned into ice. This is the most beautiful scenery in the world. There is no change or existence. Even if it is the same leaf, observing from different angles will give different insights, dancing with the breeze and trembling with the wind, which is the best proof of life survival and the world. "

Having said that, the archangel turned his head and looked at the old man sitting not far from him.

"Don't you think so? Amond Qing?"

"Your Highness, the old minister hopes that you can be quiet, and the fishes that are going to be hooked will be scared away by you."

"Isn't there such a thing? Amund Qing? A clever fish will not be tempted, but a seduced fish will not be so scared away easily. Once it has such an idea, then even if it is hooked If there is no bait, it will jump up regardless of its body. Although it is stupid, it is because of its stupidity that it can satisfy the appetite of other people, so this can be regarded as a happy result? Stupid fish will not We regret our decision, and the fisherman meets his expectations. Everyone is happy, isn't it? "

"Aha……………"

Facing the archangel's answer, the old mage sighed helplessly.

"It's been a while since you left Gold City, Your Highness, but it seems that the Messenger from the Council of Light does not seem to intend to leave."

"It's okay to go with him. Compared to that envoy, he must be attracted by the beauty of the Golden City and unable to extricate himself. Isn't that great? As for me, I want to see more of the scenery outside. It's almost time for the maple leaves in Beiling to change color. Walk in the bright red maple forest and taste the sweet chestnuts. Don't you have a taste? Teacher Amond? You should not mind traveling with me Maple forest. "

"Hah ... Your Highness, this is not the time to say this."

"Ah, that's the same, the fish is already cooked."

Faced with the helpless sigh of the old mage, Lydia showed a playful and brisk smile, and then the girl reached out and picked up the grilled fish by the campfire, tasting it with a small mouthful.

"Woo ......... It ’s just the right time. Grilled fish is really a science. If it ’s too long, it will burn, but if it ’s too short, it will have a fishy smell. If you ca n’t accurately grasp the time and time, then you can There is no way to savor the taste like this now. Whether it is too heavy or burnt, will it not make people feel delicious? "

"......... Then, Your Highness, do you think the time is ripe?"

Upon hearing the old mage's inquiry, Lydia paused slightly.

"The taste of this fish is really good, Mr. Amond ... this fish is mine, this lake is mine, and the fish in this lake is naturally mine too. I will not let those insatiable They took away what was originally mine, and they may have forgotten that those delicious food belonged to the Principality of Munn and belonged to me, rather than being used by the incompetent to give away to the greedy mice outside. "

Speaking of this, Lydia's mouth slightly tilted, and a beautiful curve emerged.

"Notify the Royal Third Fleet that it is time for them to play."

"Royal Third Fleet?"

Hearing here, the old mage could not help but look slightly changed.

"Your Highness, is this necessary?"

"It's the season of wind, Amond Qing."

Hearing the old mage's inquiries, Lidia chuckled and reached out her hand, closed her eyes, and felt the breeze passing through her fingers.

"Sometimes cats show their claws not to catch them, but to warn them-to deter those bad rats, I haven't fallen into such a weak position."

"......... Obey, Your Highness."

The wind whistled past, and the old mage's figure disappeared. Only Lydia was still sitting on a stone by the lake, holding a grilled fish in her hand, with a playful smile, staring at the line connecting the lake and the sky in front of her. And at this moment, suddenly, a clear water wave sounded, and then the fishing rod placed next to it began to shake violently, Lydia turned and looked at it curiously, then smiled slightly, reached out to pick up the fishing rod, and soon, A fat fish was struggling to be lifted from the water. Looking at the struggling fish in front of her eyes, Lydia couldn't help covering her mouth and squinting her eyes.

"The fish has been hooked ...... then it's time to cook."
