Vol 2 Chapter 125: Queen of the sky

Chapter 125 The Queen of the Sky
"Kid, I know what you are thinking. But if you continue to look at me with that strange look..."
Edda marched on the side of Tyres's mount. She clenched her fists and highlighted the knuckles of her index finger. The tone was extremely impatient: "You know what will happen."
"Okay." The curiosity of Tyres spit out his tongue and turned his head.
"I don't want to answer."
The prince sighed slightly in his heart.
Eda gently spit out a breath and re-shelmed the memories of the past.
Comet.
Damn comet.
"But to speak, Edda, how did you become the secret guard of the comet's royal family?" Taylor looked at the vague mountains that gradually appeared in front of him, and asked faintly: "How can an elf be employed in the human kingdom of stars?" ?"

I heard that they are extremely proud, and it is unique to serve humanity.

Edda bowed his head slightly.
"Hey, kid," the elf's voice sounded a little awkward: "I said, I am not the guard of your family."
"and……"
Edda picked up his arms and said that he was disdainful in his tone: "As a little boy, how many elves do you know?"
Tyres had to spit his tongue and shook his head helplessly.
This suspicious elf, this elf who may have lived for hundreds of years and has met with the sages of the princes Jude and Keira, must have a rich and colorful story.
Just a character...
Just after the team crossed a snow-covered hillside, Putty took the mount and came to the side of Tyres. I saw the thin vice-shoulders and looked up in the direction of them: "We are here.

Taylor responded and quickly looked up and looked down the hill.
In the blurred vision of the sky, a silver-black giant appeared in front of the mountains.
No, not a giant.
Its silhouette in the snow appears in the distance - it is a majestic city built on the hill.
Vaguely visible red and black flags fluttering in the city.
I saw that its gray wall was dotted with silvery white snow. The highest point of the city just fell on the top of the mountains. From afar, like a giant leaning against a snow-capped mountain, there are many villages and towns in the surrounding area. Among the arches, standing on the ground in the north.
For the first time in ten days, in the snowy fields of the hustle and bustle, they saw such a majestic trace of civilization for the first time.
Tyres signaled that Wyah stopped the restless mount.
He took a deep breath of the unique cold wind in the north, quietly looking at the heavy and powerful Xiongcheng in the distance, and a little excitement in his heart.
Here is the northern dragon, the capital of the Kingdom of Exeter?
Unconsciously, they have crossed the Welwyn snowfield and entered a new territory.
"The first time I saw such a grand scene," Nie Lai came to them by horse riding, his mouth curled up, his face full of nostalgia and reverence: "The huge city with the mountains, the largest and most majestic in the north, The most magnificent and the oldest city."
"The holy place in the hearts of the people of the North."
"Dragon City."
At this point, it was uploaded with an untimely contempt.
"It was not called Long Yucheng."
Nilailai turned his eyes to the star guests.
"It was established as early as the kings' time and is one of the northern gathering places of mankind. In the ancient empire era, it was the central capital of the former imperial northern province," Puttier received the expressionlessly. if:
"The fortress built by the mountain, formerly known as Arendt Fort, was the residence of the Aaronde family in the northern land under the command of the emperor. After the collapse of the empire, it was plunged into three hundred years of chaos and power exchange. One day, Nakaru and Tomond’s army fought nearby and won the first victory of the final battle.

"It is the leader of Nakaru, who rushed to the precarious Tomon," Niely shook his head in disregard and used his own opinion to 'correct' the words of the stars: "So the battle was called 'reversing the cold wind' - - It is said that on a piece of open space near here, Nakaru’s troops marched at an almost speed, almost like a fall from the sky, and defeated the enemy from the rear."
Taylor shouted helplessly.
Well, it’s the Exeter and the Stars, and the small
different opinions
between the North and the Empire.
And - although they are all from the North, but Nie Lai seems to be more stubborn than Camida.
Sure enough, Putilai spit out a sigh of relief, his face did not agree.
"So, how did this place become the capital of Exeter?" Tyres immediately made a sound, interrupting the "fierce discussion" that the two saw and began.
Niely indicated that they would continue to march. The commander of the White Blade Guards, while riding a horse, began to like a real receptionist, slowly:
"This land centered on Longyan City belongs to the Walton family, a family of Nunn VII, and is the most prestigious ruling family of Exeter. It has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Human hero, Nakaru Axe became the lord of this place more than 600 years ago, here and the nine knights, and vowed to guard the northern land and guard their hometown in the chaos after the end of the war. Regain the pride of the people of the North."
"Since then, the proud Northlanders have called the new country "Exter" and the Exeter Alliance has been born."
"And the following year, the nine knights who opened up the territory and turned the ground, returned to this place, together with Nakaru Axe, the king who was sincerely convinced and swears by the people of the North, the nine knights divided the parties, the arch Long Yucheng."
"The history of the Alliance is over, and the history of the Exeter Kingdom begins."
"With the spirit of taking turns to rule and being fair and ruled, Exeter's supreme ruler, the king of the king, was elected among the ten grand princes, and the rest served his authority and command - this is the year of Nakaru The vows of meeting the co-governance show that his prestige and influence continue to this day."
"Because Nunn squats under the title of the Grand Duke of Longyan City, Longyan City has become the capital of the entire Exeter."
At this time, a black sand collar commander hurriedly crossed the obstacles of the White Blade Guard and came to Nie Lai, asking him to meet with the Viscount Kambida.
After Nilailai left, Tyres turned his head and looked at Putile.
"You have something to say." The prince is sure.
"Of course," the deputy shook his head disdainfully: "Don't believe that our brains of the Northland friends, his set of 'rotational rule and fair and rule' ghosts, used to deceive the Northland people, even, the facts On the North, or anywhere in the world, it has always been the power to speak, and the power to be king."
"Hey?" Taylors smiled softly: "Since the brain of the Northland friend has left, do you mind telling more? I am a well-informed deputy, versatile Mr. Bei Ditong. ?"
Putty reached out into his arms and wanted to take out the pipe, but he didn't know whether it was pity that the tobacco was not much or the conscience found out. The former swimmer hesitated for a few seconds and then he shook his hand back.
He immediately said to the second prince: "I don't know if you noticed, the first ruler of Longyan City, the first king of Exeter, is Nakaru Axe. But now we are The Longyan City I saw was under the rule of Nuen Walton VII."
Taylors quickly reacted: "Ax and Walton, these are two surnames - that is, after Nakaru, inheriting his name and title, is not his immediate blood relative?"
Putil raised his eyebrows and nodded: "The history of history, or the history that the stars can turn over, is that the Nakaru, who died young, did not give birth to a child. The dragon that he left after his death The position of the city lord, inherited by his nephew, Nunn Walton."
"That was the first Nunn after the Walton family became the lord of the Dragon City, Noon I."
"Since then, the Walton family, marked by the dragon gun in the cloud, has taken over this land and the city, and has ruled it to this day."
"But the blood of Nunn I led to the questioning of his orthodoxy by the lords and the embarrassment of the lords to the position of the king. No matter how many times he emphasized that his mother is Nakaru's sister, So Nunn himself is the closest heir to the first king Nikaru, and he can't ruin the ambitions of the nine lords—even if they were all loyal knights of Nakaru.
Tyres frowned slightly.
At this moment, he did not think of Nakaru and his nine knights, but the most central portrait in the Judith Hall: the battlefield of the setting sun, the scarred young knight, accompanied by six people Under fearless charge.
The king of the revival of the stars, Tomond Iridium I, and the six knights around him, is the duke family and the six giants of today's prominent side.
Aarond of the flying eagle on the white, Coulon of the Sun Sword Shield, Kevin Deere of the three-color iris, Falkenhaus of the four-eyed skull, South of the Giant Horn Deer, and Tebak of the Blood Moon.
They, even the ancestors of the thirteen families, also fought on Tomond's side.
Did they also be "loyal to the King of Rejuvenation" in the past?
Like the nine knights behind Nakaru, the nine lords?
"For the orthodox inheritance of the Exeter throne, Nunn I of Longyan City, and the nine knights and their descendants broke out in a fierce conflict." Putilla continued: "After the war, the stalemate between the major lords And confrontation lasted for decades. At that time, Exeter was almost ten pieces, called a country, but in fact they were enemies of each other and incompatible with each other."
"In the meantime, the survivors of the final empire were on the banks of the pastoral rivers in the south, and the newly-improved new country established on the territory of the original Shawen province began to slowly rise and continue to expand toward the periphery."
Tyres responded with a heartfelt response: "Tomond I, Revival King?"
"Yes," Putilla nodded, his eyes sparkling with a strange color: "The Kingdom of Stars."
"Ultimately, under the pressure of the emerging star kingdom, Nunn I and the nine lords reached the final and most embarrassing compromise."
"With the joint support of the nine lords, Nuen Walton inherited the king's position. And Nunn I redefined the territory of Exeter in the name of the great prince Nakaru. The lord, including himself, was enshrined in the tenth Grand Duke of the Exeter Kingdom. But after the death of Nunn I, the king’s position must be re-elected among the ten Grand Dukes, who voted for themselves to vote for new ones. A total of the king, and then rule for life, so reciprocated, Exter's system of election of the king will be established, for six hundred years."
"This is the so-called 'Nakaru's co-administration vow' - because it is the vow of ten people in the name of Nakaru, under the signature of Nakaru, ironically, it is basically with Nakaru No connection."
"Wait," said Tyres, one by one: "Choose the king... I just saw one in the Judith Hall... Ten big publics voted together, choose one of them?"

"What happens if there are just the same number of votes? Is there a mature system and system to decide whether to vote for the king to be a stable birth?"
Taylors remembered a magical movie from the past, in which the pirates elected the pirate king, but each candidate voted for himself.
"Yes, and simple, direct, and effective, full of the romantic color of the people of the North." Putier whispered: "Inherited from the empire, inherited from the custom of the knights of the Knights, continued to be used in Exeter, To determine the ownership of the king when the opinions of the Dagong are difficult to decide."
"Inherited from the customs of the empire, determine the ownership of the king?" Tyres clenched the stable, and he remembered what he heard in the heroic tavern of Kaslan, and could not help but be surprised: "You mean..."
"Well," Putilla nodded, his eyes complex, and spit out a rather powerful word:
"duel."
Taylors stunned.
"When the sacred king will not be able to make the final choice, the king candidate with the same number of votes, regardless of age or identity, must prove himself in the duel field."
"Prove that you have the courage to co-ordinate the king, enough to lead the people of the North, to look down on the fearlessness of life and death in the duel, and to stand in the final battle in the duel."
Hearing here, in the mind of Tyres, the face of the black sand Dagong Chaman Rumba in the fire suddenly appeared, and the old sword on his desk was worn out.
They are ultimately Northerners.
Taylors suddenly realized that although he had already set foot on the territory of Exeter in the north, his understanding of them was still in its infancy.
The country on the north ground, which is famous for its power and iron, is much more complicated and stranger than its own imagination.
And they are about to face them.

Go ahead,
said Tyres, frowning solemnly:
Before I meet them, I want to know about the grandfathers of Exeter.

"For example, what is their relationship with the king?"
Puttier only made a slight meal, and nodded and continued: "The grandfathers of Exeter have absolute autonomy in their own territory, only the obligation to express their obedience to the king and wartime, and regular Fixed taxation - although I have heard that many big public companies can't do this - the territorial affairs are purely self-determined, and whether or not to accept and enforce the king's entire territory is entirely dependent on the wishes of the Grand Dukes."
"The power of Archest's Grand Duke is a bit too big," Teres said with amazement. He was slightly inhaled on the move: "Exeter has not split yet, can it be a miracle?"


Yeah, that’s why they’re called Archduke, not the Duke of the Age of Empires,
Putilley sighed.
To some extent, Exeter born from compromise. The degree of division is especially true of our star kingdom."
"They have more autonomy in their own territories than the Dukes of the stars. At least, no matter how embarrassed or reluctant, the Duke of Cullen will collect a batch of money from the East China Sea every year, paying a sufficient amount to Yongxing City and his Majesty. The taxation. The appointment and removal of the important bureaucrats of the stars and the closure of the aristocrats must be in accordance with the "Sacred Stars Act" and even reviewed by the command of the Supreme King. Therefore, the quickest way for the Dukes to intervene in the kingdom politics is to intervene in Yongxingcheng. The central department, or through the influence of the territory, infiltrate the local bureaucracy of the kingdom."
Tyres shook his head: "What is the meaning of the existence of the king together? If he can't be bound by the big man under him, why should he become a king?"
Putility thought for a moment and answered him seriously: "For the lofty prestige, the obedience of the Lord and the name of the orthodox."
Taylors frowned again.
"This stuff is much more useful in the North than in the stars. A Northlander who has no culture, and knows that the authority of the king is not to be violated. Nakaru’s vows cannot be violated," Putilla recalled. Knowledge, continue to say:
"Historically, Exeter's grand priests have had three rebellions because they were dissatisfied with the co-hosting of the king, but each time they ended in failure, because no matter how the grand priests who raised the flag against the kings argued, once they were open Despising the vows of Nakaru, they will lose the hearts and minds of their people. Even the most greedy Northerners are not willing to fight for them - some Grand Dukes have even withdrawn from Exeter's rule history forever.

Looking at the distant Longyan City, Taylors slowly spit out a hot breath in his cold hands and thought carefully.
Sublime prestige.
The name of orthodox.
The loyalty of the people.
The traditional culture of the Northland?
"It's too simple." A few seconds later, Tyres was faint.
"Well?" Putilie showed a confused look.
"I mean, the power to maintain the stability and unity of Exeter is attributed to Nikeru's prestige and the character and tradition of the Northerners." The attribution is too simple." Taylors bowed his head. Think carefully:
"Human behavior and social power structure always interact with each other. It is impossible to exist only. The behavior unilaterally consolidates the structure, but the social structure has no effect on human behavior - no matter how noble the Northland people are, Respecting ancestors, respecting traditions, and maintaining such a national system."
"A power structure that is destined to split and collapse will only bring the same influence to the people of the North. They are destined to be under different lords, different interests, different institutional structures. The birth of generations is born. In social changes, behaviors and motives that conform to the structure of the times have evolved."
"Under the strange split system of Exeter, it is very difficult for the northern people to fight each other and kill each other."
Correct.
Tyres nodded secretly.
This is the society he knows.
However, Exeter is...
"Do you have more ideas?" Putile squinted and thought about Tyre's words and asked, "Can you tell me?"
The second prince sank for a moment, and spoke words: "Stars."
Taylors looked up and said affirmatively: "The Kingdom of Stars."
Putilai blinked and waited for the answer from the prince.
"As you said earlier, the expansion and power of the stars should also contribute to the stability and unity of Exeter to a certain extent." Tyres patted his mount and attracted the horses that he had never dealt with. A commotion.
Wyah took control of the mount with care, and Tyres showed him an apologetic smile.
Thales turned his head and continued: "There is such a huge monster in the south. Any grand or lord of Exeter can't face it alone. They must sit down, coordinate their own contradictions, and unify their enemies. ""
"This is a good angle," Putilla nodded with approval. "It is true that the existence of the stars has largely diverted and transferred the conflict between the king and the Grand Duke."
Taylors took a deep breath.
In turn, Exeter's existence and threats are not the external cause of the internal forces of the stars.
Do not.
Tyres looked closer and closer, clearer and clearer, and gently lowered his head.
The interaction between the stars and Exeter?
Even such an analysis is not enough.
This is not the main reason why Exeter has remained so far, not the power of the king.
What kind of power is it that maintains the Kingdom of Exeter, which should have been scattered, and continues to be strong and stable?
Tyres stared at the red and black flags in the distance and narrowed his eyes.

They met the first checkpoint of Longyan City in front of them, and the White Blade Guard was negotiating with each other. At this time, Taylors ushered in the escorts of these days.
"We can only send you here as far as possible, His Royal Highness," said the Viscount of the Black Sands, who was gathering his troops. He looked at the Longyan City, which was close at hand, and sighed: "Fortunately, there is nothing safe on the way."
"Thank you for your escorts - although we didn't ask for it," Putilie sighed and looked cold: "Thank you for your welcoming ceremony."
Kambida didn't care about Putty's attitude, and ignored the poor eyes of the nearby White Blades. Cambya nodded to the rear of Tulha, indicating that he was ready to leave, and then turned back to the Thales Road. :
"That's not to say this. May you be in Longyan City, everything goes well."
Taylor looked at the brain of the Lombard.
The skill and efficiency that he showed when he commanded the army along the way, reflected in the heroic pub, the sharpness of speech and the uniqueness of thought, all impressed Taylor.
A few seconds later, the second prince suddenly said: "Why don't you come to Dagong?"
A glimpse of the Viscount of Camida.
"Nun's Majesty sent an invitation to all the nine grand princes of Exeter, isn't it, but Lombard did not come," Taylors recalled the discussion with Putty, silently:
"You know, King Nunn might want to see the entire Exeter, how the king treated the prince of the stars - starting with the friendly welcome of the Whiteblade."
At this moment, in the mind of Tyres, it is not the two actual people, Nunn and Lombard, but the two concepts of "communist king" and "Dagong". In the same social structure, they each represent different powers. And ranks, playing each other.
"Dagong has his own reasons," said the Viscount Kambida, who responded quickly. He replied faintly: "I believe that I have told you before the Grand Duke, whether you or Dagong himself is in danger, only yours. collaboration……"
"The King of Nuen hates him, right?" In the strange eyes of Puttilla, Tyres interrupted Cambyda.
Cambida stopped his words and looked blank.
"I guess, the things in the Star Court have been passed to Longyan City. Although there is no evidence, the black sand collar Dagong has been disconnected from the death of Prince Morar, just like the cold-faced comet. Said..."Thales is literally:
"Nure King will find him later."
"And what is Lombard going to do?"
Tyres stared at Camby's face carefully, trying to find something out of it.
Viscount Kabila first frowned slightly, then gently shook his head, his mouth showed a strange smile.
Instead of using a polite and alienated tone, he responded with serious and serious words:
"The black sand collar is based on the front line of Exeter and the stars, and confrontation with the North for hundreds of years is not as weak as you think," said the Viscount in the words: "And Nun, including Wall. The power of the family cannot be extended to the black sand collar."
"Not to mention, Exeter is a king." Campida showed a strange smile: "The Grand Duke is still very young, and Nun is kneeling..."
Tyres’s eyes moved slightly.
Really confident.
Chaman Rumba.
He remembered the two men’s talks in the Rumba military camp.
That is to say, such a person can be called a "gambler", so that the flowers of the fortress like Sonya are jealous.
"Good." Taylors muttered intentionally or unintentionally: "Because I am also very young."
Cambida fixedly stared at Taylors.
"Before leaving, Dagong also asked me to bring you a sentence."
Taylors looked up.
"Please choose your own enemies and friends carefully," Cambida reappeared with a smile and knocked on his heart. "Beloved and merciful, it is not the fault of the king."
"But it is unclear, but it is a taboo for the king."
Taylors rubbed his brow and snorted.
"These words," the second prince shook his head: "When you are the king of the Grand Duke, he will be taught to me."
Campida smiled and nodded unchanged: "I will bring it to the original words."
Just at this time.
"The people in the black sand collar - why are you still not leaving?" Nie Lai came to them, and unknowingly said: "Why, I want to take two thousand people to go to Longyan City?"
The Marquis of Stiles was gently on the side, laughing happily: "Don't mind, I think Lord Niely just speaks more."
"Walk around?"
"Dare, this is the territory of the Dragon Gun family, and it is the place where the king is raised together," Cambida said with a smile: "We will leave early tomorrow... If you are as generous as ever, you can provide us with some..."
"Then roll quickly - if you don't want to freeze to death in the cold of the sun," Niely's face was cold and interrupted Cambyda: "Unless let Rumba come over."
"Otherwise, there is no mood to entertain you."
Camby stagnation, after all, did not speak again, he immediately glimpsed, his face calmly left.
He went with him and the army of black sands stretched for hundreds of meters.
For a time, Taylors had only the mission and the White Blade Guard.
Facing the majestic Longyan City.
Tyres breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at the city of Longyan, which was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, his brow wrinkled.
Taylors looked at a stone bridge that connected the top of the Dragon's Wall.
The stone bridge is suspended in the air, and the other end leads to a huge cliff. The cliff is flat and wide, but unlike the cliffs of other buildings in Longyan City, the cliff is small, but it is empty. One thing.
He wondered: "The big cliff - why is it so flat and empty?"
and also……
"And the big cave behind it, it seems to be artificially cut out?" Taylors narrowed his eyes and looked far away.
Slyes crossed several people and came to the front of Tyres.
"That is the legendary 'Sky of the Sky'," the Marquis of Commas looked at the cliff, frowning and shaking his head: "Although I have come many times, but the story of that place, 唉 - - I heard that it was their queen's majesty, the exclusive territory."
"The Queen's Majesty?" Look at the cliff's taylor, and subconsciously ask: "What queen?"
"What queen?" Nie Lai turned his head and looked strange, seemingly slightly dissatisfied:
"Are you joking?"
Tyres shrugged and wanted to exchange a look with Putier, while the latter was only deeply silent.
"In this regard, I have heard a little about the cliffs of the sky in Longyan City." At this time, the waiter, who has been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "I heard that it is the palace of the 'first queen'?"
"The first queen?" Taylors was even more confused. He spit out a sigh of relief and looked at Nilai.
Take the desolate and empty cliffs as a palace?
Ascetic?
"Who is the queen?" Taylors asked impatiently.
"I thought the prince of the stars should have at least some knowledge," Nie Lai sarcastically said. "Of course, the savior of the end of the battle, the greatest hero in the history of mankind, the founder of Exeter, Nakaru Axe ... is his queen!"
Taylors stunned.
"The queen of Nakaru?"
Tyres frowned slightly, and he looked up and looked at the cliff, the cliff of the sky.
and many more.
Queen of six hundred years ago?
"Yeah." Nie Lai nodded, the color was solemn and respectful.
"The first queen of Exeter's legendary."
"In the end of the battle, Nakaru was the most reliable presence behind him."
"His comrade-in-arms, his love, he crowned the king, the eternal and eternal queen."
"It is also the symbol of the highest and most perfect in the hearts of the people of the North in the past 600 years."
Nilailai reveals a revered look.
Although the White-Blade Guards are covered in face, Taylors still feels their emotions, just like Nie Lai.
I saw the leader of the White Blade Guard faintly:
"Although she left behind after she died in Nakaru, she left without a trace, but her legends and myths are in the hearts of every Exeter."
Nilai Lai whispered:
"In the battle of the end, the legend of the battlefield of the Red Wings."
"The Queen of the Sky (the_Queen_of_Sky) - Kroresh His Majesty."
Tyres frowned.
Why is the sky?
Is this queen still flying...
and many more.
Tyres looked at the huge cliff and opened his mouth.
meeting……
fly……
"What you just said is... Red Wings?" Thales turned his head and looked at Nicholas with a stunned look: "The Queen of the Sky, that is...that is, she is one..."
"Ah, that's right."
Nie Lai’s rare grin, this plain, cold and serious man with a pale face, is now full of glory and pride:
"In the end of the battle, the great hero, Nakaru Axe..."
Niely proudly raised his hand and pointed to the Exeter flag flying in the distance.
"...is a knight."
Taylors turned his head and stared blankly at the black flag, with a red dragon on it facing the wind and clawing his teeth.
"With the queen of the sky he loves, flying in the air and fighting side by side..."
The words of Nilailai are heard in the ear:
"Dragon Knight."
I'm back! One thousand words!
Originally, the editor suggested that I divide into three chapters, each with more than two thousand words.
However, see my conscience.
I know that you are very touched.
Don't be too excited.
I will be shy.
(End of this chapter)
