Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

[Good night]: "No need, Mr. Bruce, you probably can't help me. Besides, isn't the charm of the Internet just the wonderful sense of distance and the sense of equality that you can easily confide in your heart without caring about each other's identities?"

Good night: "And, maybe once I reveal my identity, you won't want to help me, maybe?"

Wayne smiled helplessly.There is always an inexplicable magic in what this "good night" said. Although it is a rejection, it makes people feel bad.

Wayne also had to admit that she was right.Let me ask, if [Good Night] really knew his true identity, would he still be able to chat with her so easily?

In the heavily hierarchical Terra, this is almost impossible.

It is the subtle sense of distance and mystery of the Internet that can facilitate this friendship between them.

"I'm being rude. I won't ask, come on, maybe I will see you in the Emerging Entrepreneurs newspaper one day."

Wayne made a joke, looked at the clock, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening, so he added:

"Good night."

This time [Good Night] replied quickly: "I wish you a safe sleep, Mr. Bruce."

Kazdel, Sarkaz Royal City "Black Palace", bedroom.

Teresia pressed the send button of the message, saw a good night emoji from the id [Bruce] on the other side, smiled slightly, and put down the phone.

May you be able to sleep peacefully.

She thought so, looking at the closed door.The Originium technique, which can absorb the emotions around her, told her that someone was waiting outside the door.

"Please come in."

she said softly.

Wearing a lady's tuxedo, with her light green forehead combed to the sides, a woman who was very familiar to Wayne but also somewhat strange pushed the door and entered.

"Kelsey, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Teresia looked at the bowed friend in front of her and said.

Dr. Kelsey, or now Lord Kelsey, stood up with an unprecedented seriousness on his face.She said to the cherry-haired girl sitting on the bed in front of her every word:

"Your Highness, Tracy wants to see you. Right now."

"Are you going?" Teresia smiled, but she had already turned sideways and put on those black high heels.

"I think this is a grand banquet." Kelsey emphasized, wanting to stop it, "It's better not to go, I will immediately notify Ascalon and Krusil, and prepare to leave Veronia overnight."

"You think brother will rebel, don't you?" Teresia nodded. "Indeed, the signs are already obvious, but I have to go this time. I can't give up any chance to resolve this matter peacefully." .”

"But your safety."

"This is so that all people in this land can sleep peacefully."

Teresa said seriously.

"Also, who is inviting whom to the Hongmen Banquet?"

"In the legend of Yan Kingdom, it was Xiang Yu who invited Liu Bang."

"What happened to Liu Bang afterwards?"

"Became the real dragon emperor."

"Where's Xiang Yu?"

Kelsey fell into silence. After a while, she raised her head, looked into Theresia's eyes, and said:

"I'll go with you!"

"Ah."

Chapter 51 Two Choices

Sarkaz Black Palace, main hall.

Tracy is still in armor, and he is more like a seasoned general than an heir to the throne.Even sitting on a soft sofa, I can't help but straighten my body.He never hesitated to show respect to those he recognized, but to those he disapproved or even hated, just like meeting Urbino in the afternoon, he would only show enough obvious contempt.

Seeing Kelsey who pushed the door and entering, and Teresia who was following her in a pale white dress that looked like pajamas, Teresi frowned slightly, but she still didn't say anything after all.

His younger sister, when it comes to stubbornness, is far superior to him. Once something she believes is confirmed, it can no longer be changed. This is also the source of the dispute between the two.But tonight, Teresis didn't come here to persuade Theresia to change her overly benevolent idea in vain, he came to discuss the final possibility.

Teresia gently sat down on the sofa opposite Teresis, staring directly at her brother in front of her, with a bit of helplessness and sigh in her eyes.

Teresia hopes that Sarkaz's survival does not need to be based on endless wars, while Teresis believes that war is the only way to make Kazdel rise in the current state. If they can each take a step back, the advantage Complementary, as a queen who can unite half of the Sarkaz tribes by relying on personal fame and affinity alone, she is also a prince with good military strength and superb strategic vision, and is favored by most of the Sarkaz military dignitaries. Questions can create unprecedented prosperity.

But unfortunately, this kind of situation can only appear in dreams.In reality, their relationship is falling into an unprecedented stalemate, and even the factions of the two parties are also involved. Kazdel has fallen into a tense confrontation, and a civil war is imminent.

At this juncture, there are only two possibilities for Teresia to invite Theresia at night. Either, the rebels want to take this opportunity to beheaded directly, throwing a cup as a sign, and five hundred knives and axes will come out to kill Theresia. The leader of the enemy was chopped off, or, as Teresia thought, Teresia and she are making the last effort to avoid the worst outcome, and tonight may be the last chance!

"Gui'an, brother."

Slightly nodded to Teresia, Teresia said,

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

Tracy closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a more serious and serious tone than before:

"Teresia, I came to you to discuss the last two options with you."

"Choose?" Teresia was slightly taken aback, and said, "You say."

"The first option, you officially announce that you will give up Kazdel's right to inherit the throne and give me the position of king."

Teresi said seriously, without any wavering on his face, it seemed that he had really thought about what he said, which seemed ridiculous to Kelsey.

Tracy reached out to take the projection tablet from the absolutist next to him, turned on the product from Columbia Rheintech, pointed it at the cleaned marble table top, and released the projection.

What appeared on the table was Kazdel's map.

Located at the junction of Ursus, Victoria, Casimir, and Letania, it is like a country with a political buffer zone of the four countries. Kazdel has been harassed by wars all year round, coupled with Sarkaz's natural toughness, forged This is a nation where all the people are soldiers.

"This is the current situation in Kazdel. We are in the most dangerous geopolitical environment in all of Terra. The village needs soldiers to protect, the city needs soldiers to protect, and the people also need soldiers to protect. Peaceful development is absolutely impossible to save Kazdel. Zdel’s, once Sarkaz gives up the struggle and chooses a weak peace, it will only perish faster.”

Tracy said seriously,

"The only way to achieve Kazdel's rise at the moment is to increase the degree of militarization of the country, completely build a 100% military country, incite national enthusiasm, cleanse defeatism, compromiseism, capitulationism, and escapeism. Fanatical national beliefs unite the people, and then...."

"Then attack, attack in all directions, attack Ursus, Casimir, Victoria, and Letania, either defeat all their countries, or kill the last Sarkaz?"

Teresa said,

"Brother, do you know how crazy your plan is? You want to turn the entire country into a war machine, turn all the Sarkaz into the screws of this machine, and then drive this machine into other people's lands to fight a war. It's life and death. You can't save any Sarkaz people like this, you are just sending them to death."

"But it may succeed, and it's better than sitting in a false peace and waiting to die. The Sarkaz should fight to the last man for the survival of the country and the nation, and we will win, and then the rest of our compatriots can live In a world of peace, tranquility, free from oppression and discrimination."

Tracy said seriously.But Theresa shook her head resolutely.

"Will it really be like that? When a country builds peace with the blood of several generations, what else will the remaining Sarkaz do besides war?"

"Your plan has abandoned art, literature, entertainment, philosophy and all the beautiful things that this land still has. When you have abandoned all these things and stepped on them to defeat all races, the remaining Saka What else will there be? Can they who forsake art compose beautiful music? Can they who forsake literature write poems of praise to beauty? Can they who forsake entertainment cheer each other up in times of worry? ? They who have abandoned philosophy, do they still know what they are?"

"When the peace you promised comes, will the Sarkaz with all the cores replaced be Sarkaz?"

"They who can't find their goals in life will fall into war again, this time it's internal fighting, endless internal fighting, until the last Sarkaz died exhausted on the assembly line of the last arsenal, until the earth fell into complete silence, this time The war will stop, because they won't do anything else."

Teresia looked at Teresis and said earnestly:

"Brother, is this really what you want?"

Tracy was silent.He closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about the future described in Theresia's words. After a while, he opened those wine red eyes again and looked at Theresia.

"of course not."

He replied, before Teresia showed joy, he continued:

"But you have to go through the road to know that Sarkaz has a long life, and I have a chance to make amends in the middle, but if you put down your arms and seek peace as you said, tomorrow the Ursus slaughter knife will be on your immature back On the neck. Don't forget who is guarding you, Theresia, the soldier with the sword."

Teresia let out a long sigh and lowered her head slumped.

Just like Teresia knew that she couldn't persuade her, but she still wanted to clarify her ideals, knowing that Wu Teresi, who was born in the army, could not be moved by one of her words, but Teresia still couldn't help trying to persuade her. own brother.

But obviously, both of them failed as a matter of course.

The silence that enveloped the hall did not last long. Teresia raised her head, her eyes regained the determination she had when she entered the main hall, and she said:

"I reject the first choice, what about your second choice, brother, to start a war?"

Tracy shook her head: "No, of course not, war is not a choice, but a means to force you to make choices you are unwilling to make."

He paused, then suddenly changed the topic and said:

"I got a surprising piece of news from the Lateran this afternoon."

Teresia, including Kelsey standing behind her, also raised her eyebrows, with a bit of surprise on her face.

They never expected that Rutlan's name would appear in the final negotiations that would determine Sarkaz's future.

As if seeing the sullen expression on Teresia's face, Teresia waved her hand:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not shameless enough to cooperate with Rutland. What they brought me was a chance for Kazdel to eliminate a major hidden danger on the border, and even gain a strong backer to maintain peace, and this Chances are up to you."

"What do you mean?" Teresia frowned, puzzled.

"Rutland is willing to come forward and match you with Victoria's idiot heir to the throne, Prince of Wales - Wayne Bruce."

Tracy spread her hands, a subtle smile appeared on her face,

"It seems that there are only two people left in the Lion family. The reason why the current Queen Victoria did not eradicate the evil son of the Northern King after she ascended the throne is probably because of the consideration of blood inheritance. Teresia, it's time to make your choice .Do you want to agree to the goodwill from our 'old enemy' and meet Wayne?"

Teresia opened her mouth in surprise, her mind froze for a moment, as if she was digesting this explosive amount of information.After a while, she showed the same subtle expression of dumbfounding as Teresis, and replied:

"Victoria's lions? Will they?"

Teresi shrugged and looked at the absolution master, who nodded knowingly, took a step forward, and explained:

"According to the information of the Absolution Master, this Prince Wayne Bruce seems to be Lateran's puppet. He was originally a tool for Lateran to completely control Victoria. The throne, Victoria has become the current situation. Since Rutland dared to ask us such a condition, there is no doubt that they have the confidence to persuade Wayne."

"Their idea is probably to use you to logically push the assassination of the current Queen Victoria on you, to provoke a war between Victoria and Kazdel, and then they can make war fortune while using Wayne to control Victoria, by the way, take advantage of the chaotic opportunity of the war to eradicate the Protestantism [Anglicanism] that has been in full swing recently. It is a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone. Of course, there may be places that I have not thought of for the time being, but we may not be able to use the plan, Put the puppet of Wayne in our hands. At that time, Kazdel's biggest hidden danger will become our biggest help, and the geopolitical situation will be completely rewritten. Even if Ursus wants to attack us, he will have to weigh it Meet me, the 'brother-in-law' of King Victoria."

Teresis looked at Teresia and said solemnly,

"So, this is your second choice, Teresia. Everything I said above depends on you in the end. If you can do it, the threat will no longer be there. I can endure it and see what you said about peaceful rise Is it possible? If you can’t, then I will take immediate action to establish a Sarkaz military empire. Of course, you can also choose not to choose, then I will use war as a means to force you to make the first move. There is only one option—give me the throne.”

"It goes without saying, Tracy."

Theresa smiled helplessly.

"I'll take the second one. I can, and I want to try."

Chapter 52 I only accept cash

Victoria, Londinium, 125 Embassy Street, The Saints Inn, 8:00 p.m.

Wayne knocked on the door of Room 666 in a daze, and led by Mostima into a room that was not luxurious but had a unique style.

Wayne didn't know what happened to Rutland's people. It was May [-]th, and less than a week had passed since the last communication. what is the problem?

You must know that since the publication of the 95 theses and the formal establishment of the Anglican Church of Victoria and its declaration as an orthodox faith, the situation of the Lateran Catholic Church has become more than precarious.People are naturally willing to believe in a church that has benefits, more pastors, more professionalism, and is supported by the state. However, the original Catholic Church has lost the soil for survival in this land. It can be said that Victoria has basically become a harmonious church. A restricted area for Lateran forces like Kazdel.

This time Mostima came to him in such a hurry, one can imagine the risks he had to face. Once discovered by the sensitive Wei Na, Rutland actually had an act of adultery with the Prince of Wales. The last remaining abbeys in Victoria may also be lost.

How dare they?

Confused, Wayne walked through the hallway and came to the living room. Unexpectedly, he saw his old acquaintance in front of the wall where the TV used to be placed, but now it has been replaced by a cross sculpture—the dusty Ur Archbishop Noir.

Wayne looked at the archbishop with a smile on his face in surprise, and couldn't help but ask:

"I haven't heard that Lateran still has the position of bishop in black? Urbino, what's the matter with you?"

After seeing Wayne, Urbino's mood, which was slowly getting better, turned bad in an instant. He lowered his head and glanced at his dirty red robe, feeling sore and bitter in his heart.

what can he doCould it be complaining to Wayne, saying that the group of Kazdel's demons don't talk about martial arts, come, cheat, come, sneak attack, and be an old priest who has successfully negotiated and is about to return home?

Urbino has reason to suspect that the group of Sarkaz bandits who happened to appear on his route back to Lateran was arranged by Teresis, with the purpose of giving him a good impression, otherwise how could they be so coincidental? Appeared on that secret passage, robbed him of all his finances, but still did not harm him at all, looked at him as if he was looking at a piece of junk that could not be sold, the harm was not high, but the insult Very strong!

The expression on his face changed from red to blue, from blue to purple, just when Wayne couldn't help turning his head to ask Mostima to help call an ambulance, Urbino finally let out a long sigh and spoke .

"Your Highness Wayne, my dear friend, please don't ask this question again. It's all about the unbearable past. I'm here for our bright future."

He spoke in a strange tone, which made Vin frowned, wishing to greet Urbino with an immediate order to collect Uncle Sam's spiked boots and Grandma Susan's apple pie from across the country.

You said that you couldn't kill good things in your previous life, but you just like to hear people talk like that. Once you say it, it becomes a stereotype, and now Wayne can't find a chance to change it.

Resisting the urge to kick Urbino's ass, Wayne squeezed out a smile and said:

"Oh, my dear friend, what surprise did His Holiness the Pope of Lateran bring me this time?"
