Chapter 647: Emerald Mystery City (Part 1)

  Chapter 647 The Emerald Mystery City (Part 1)
  The end of the calendar 127 years, "Eight Fingers" Horace stood out from the competition with several brothers and successfully crowned the sixth supreme king of the stars, for Horace I.
  As a political enemy who has fought with the Eight Fingers for many years, the respected prime minister of the kingdom, Duke Kirk Kevin Dier, was furious when he learned that his daughter would be married to the north by the new king. He, who hated the king, ran away angrily and returned to the Emerald City. He refused to accept the king's order behind closed doors. The courtiers persuaded him to put state affairs first, but the Duke of Cork preached in front of his ministers that "two fingers will not be delayed without delay in eating." .
   Shortly after he was crowned, he was opposed and ridiculed by the Prime Minister. The Eight-Finger King's majesty was swept away, his face lost, and he couldn't help but become angry.
In response, Horace I personally led the army out of the city and announced that he would go south to "hunt." There was a fight, but the king claimed that he was not fighting, but was "waiting for an old wild boar to be enlisted."
When the news came back to the Emerald City, Prime Minister Cork thumped the table angrily, and then laughed three times, "Those who cannot hold the hilt of the sword are afraid of war." He then sent the eldest son to the South Bank with the family flag to recruit soldiers and prepare for battle. Unified slogan:
  Kevin Deere will not die as an enemy.
The royal barracks got the information, and the eight-finger king who was dining was looking as usual. He calmly finished the meal, read the book, discussed political affairs, and checked the homework of the princes before returning to the camp. The ministers were relieved. In one sigh of relief, a warrant was handed out from King Horace's camp: Here is the General Summon of the Stars, summoning thousands of princes and King Qin to seek rebellion.
  Horace I and Prime Minister Cork were both outstanding people for a while, but they were equally arrogant. After one time, no one would be the first to bow their heads. Misunderstandings and grievances became deeper and deeper:
King Horace called the princes, and the Duke of Cork scrambled his horses; the nine-pointed star's sentry moved one foot in, and the iris scout was ten inches outward; the king paraded in the wilderness, and the prime minister swore to the city. When the ladder is set up, the Emerald City will launch an equal number of defensive crossbows; the royal family will come out with thousands of troops and hunt for hundreds of miles, and Kevin Deer will start a knight contest and openly select the generals...
  The end of 128 years, the confrontation between the two sides became more tense, the room for maneuver became narrower, and the princes who were forced to stand in danger were at home in danger and miserable.
  Following the separation of Samsung, the Star Kingdom once again came to the brink of a divided civil war because of the two outstanding figures at the top of the power.
  
   "Two shameless pens."
  Tels snapped and closed the sixth chapter of "The Emerald Mystery City":
   "tm is toxic."
Thales’s itinerary in the past few days is to visit the Emerald City under the guidance of the Caguire Security Officer-from the craftsman area to the gold point area, from the canal area to the glorious area, from the workshops to observe various products, to the meeting Representatives of various guilds.
  As he had agreed with Jen, they were still not in harmony with each other, and even hostile to each other:
The day before yesterday, at a religious banquet in the Sunset Temple, an old sacrificial priest in the Sunset Temple hinted that Thales
only a civilized and pious marriage can be blessed by the Sunset Goddess
and then began to talk about it. Exter’s beliefs and customs are savage and backward, and Jane shook his glass on the main seat, with a smile but a smile; in response, Thales asked questioningly, that Duke Jane is still unmarried, whether he is uncivilized or impious. ? Duke Falkenhauser of the Western Wilderness married a wife from the North. Was it uncivilized or ungodly?
Not long after they came here, the security guards of Kongming Palace said that for safety reasons, unless the Duke of Xinghu is traveling, his entourages are not allowed to enter and leave the main palace at will. They must limit their outing time and register their itinerary, preferably with someone to accompany them; Thales is right. This expressed understanding, and then began a trip to accompany his subordinates in and out of Kongming Palace 20 times in one day. The reasons range from "accompanied by Miss Miranda for a walk" and "The Glover family has the quirk of taking a walk before and after meals." , "This meal is going to be eaten", "Lord Mallos is going to buy some specialties" to "Send him down to see if there are any puppet bears for sale". Second Lieutenant Erki, including the Vigilante Department and the Emerald Legion, was rushing every minute and every second on the way to the front station and arranging the route. It was miserable. Two days later, the Ashford butler came to Thales with a smile and told the prince his The entourage guards are free to go out of the palace gate.
The wine merchant who was arrested by the Emerald Legion on the first day, although Dagori Moss escaped, he is still in prison and has not been released. Thales had to send someone to interrogate him, but the prisoners were so good or bad. Without letting go or letting the visit, he asked, "This is Master Jen's order." Thales once hinted that if he wanted to perform a good show for Secret Science, it would be better to let Dagori live to prevent them from seeing the flaws, but Jane told him that, based on what Dagori had done, Compared to the outside, the prison is now safer for him.
As time passed day by day, guests from the Seven Seas gathered in the South Coast. The Emerald City became more and more lively. There were crowds of people everywhere. Thales was no longer convenient to go out. He could only listen to the news from his subordinates every day. Mallos sits and waits for death in his daily taunts.
As for the long-haired man-headed ghost he saw that day, it never appeared again, and Thales, who was full of doubts, didn’t want to go to Jen to betray himself ("Oh? Your Majesty, go down to accompany you? It just so happens that I know there is a shortcut-did you see the tall observation deck?"-Thales, shaking his head, imitating Jane shook his wine glass.), he wanted to ask sideways. Butler Ashford, but the latter always smiled and answered unreasonable questions ("Really, there are no ghosts in the Fuxing Palace...It's really enviable, Your Highness...").
  Until the Emerald Festival is near.
At this moment, the Duke of Xinghu is sitting in a lounge of Kongming Palace. He put down the books in his hand, organized the banquet dresses with novel styles, properly tailored, and light and comfortable. He patted the nine-pointed star emblem on the cuffs. .
The Tailor’s Guild of the Emerald City sent their best tailoring team to Thales, recommending seven different styles and styles of ready-to-wear banquet dresses. Compared with the Queen’s tailor of the Canstar Royal Family-the legendary one takes one shot Master Dimon, who is worth the eight-month salary of the Bachelor of Julio, won not in luxury and craftsmanship, but in simplicity but without losing style, low-key but without losing characteristics, which makes Thales quite satisfied.
  Good goods and good lives, how come they are all in the Emerald City.
  Big dog family.
   "Tonight's occasion is very important," Mallos wore a dark dress, almost exactly the same as his usual guard uniform. "The battle banquet is..."
"It was a traditional feast for the Queen the other day. It was held by the Kevin Deere family in the Kongming Palace to announce the start of the Emerald Celebration and the city carnival within a week of opening the Emerald City. There were many heavyweight guests at the banquet. Including dignitaries and agents of all forces, you can't take it lightly—thank you for repeating this fifteenth time in my ear, Thor!"
   "Yes," Mallos was a little upset, he looked at Thales, "You are sure these dresses..."
   "It's free!"
  Kong Muto, who also dressed up like a dog, hurriedly followed up: "Several owners of the Tailor's Guild were grateful for this opportunity, especially after knowing that the father of Master Wiya is..."
   "Hey, make it clear!"
   Standing in front of the mirror, Huai Ya, who couldn't hide the single-edged sword in his coat after exhausting all means, turned her head unhappy:
   "Which Huaia?"
"Don't worry, sir," the logistics officer Shi Tuo was sitting behind the table, happily writing the account book. "Since we came to the Emerald City, we have not only dropped the cost of living, but even have income. The money on the account now, even if we go back. There is no one to entertain us on the road, and it is enough for us to reach Star Lake—Your Highness, don't you really think about your marriage to Miss Kevin Deer?"
   "That's why I can see her--and, no, don't think about it." Thales said in an angry manner.
  "Fighting feast, feasting feast," D.D frowned and arranged his boots, "How come these South Bank people have names that are stranger than one--hey, zombie, why are you still in uniform?"
  "Because I am not going to the banquet." Glover said coldly, standing at the door.

Queen’s Day is meaningful, and it aims to commemorate the first queen from the Kevin Deere family, Regina,
said Oscarson, the second-class pioneer who grew up on the South Bank.
A seven-day celebration, traditionally It was to reproduce the different parts of the grand wedding hundreds of years ago. The battle banquet is the first part: the first time the prince met Regina's father, it was the violent banquet..."
   "I don't understand," Neshi's voice came from the other side of the room, "Why didn't the first part start with the prince and Regina, instead of the two men?"
  "Because it commemorates a wedding, it is a marriage," Paul walked from the door, well-dressed and dignified, "not love-the people of Kongming Palace are urging, Your Highness."
  "Are they different?"
   "Of course it's different," D.D said lazily, "There can be girls in love, but only men in marriage."
   "Oh, I seem to understand a little bit, that is to say," Nehy had an idea, and inferred from one another, "Our Highness is not actually married to Miss Hille, but to Duke Jane?"
  Kong Muto who was drinking tea spouted out.
  D.D was dumbfounded, originally wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head wisely.
  There was silence in the room, and no one dared to look at the face of Duke Thales.
  Leaving alone, Nexi, who had reacted, regretted it and was extremely apprehensive.
"Big guy, old rules, alcohol and diet," Mallos broke the embarrassing silence after all, but his order was not unexpectedly ushered in disappointment and lament, "Watch out, this is not the royal capital, and there is no one who can quickly support us. Royal Guard."
   "Yes, it sounds like they took care of us more last time..." Doyle mumbled uncomfortably.
"I have seen the list of guests at the banquet, ranging from domestic princes to foreign princes, and even forces outside the coastline. I think they have their own purposes, not just to travel to the Emerald City." Mallos explained in a deep voice. road.
   "I know, they came here admiringly," Wiya snorted coldly, "Come to see your Royal Highness."
   "Not only that," Paul added, "For many forces, the Emerald City is an ideal, efficient, and safe place for neutral negotiations."
"Especially when all parties are gathered here for the emerald celebration, Your Highness," a lady in a dress walked into the room to help everyone. Fly back."
  Everyone was stunned for a moment, and exchanged glances: How did you let a stranger break in?
The girl before her drew beautiful light makeup and a chic bun, her neck was slender and graceful. Two bundles of carefully modified curly hair fell from the sides, adding a bit of beauty. The dark silk on her body reflected shining light. Coupled with his tall stature and dignified manners, it is amazing at first sight.
  "This lady," D.D was the first to react, and he politely stepped forward and bowed, "This is the lounge of His Royal Highness Thales, did you go wrong..."
  咚!
  D.D was stunned: a long sword was being held in a hand wearing a black glove, the hilt of the sword against his chest.
  "Stop playing!"
  The glamorous beauty in front of him pushed him back with the hilt of the sword, displeased:
   "We are here to work."
  Everyone was startled again.
  Only Thales looked at the familiar sword, reacted instantly, and exclaimed:
   "Mira?"
  Fuck!
  Everyone in the room trembled!
   "His Royal Highness," the pretty beauty's eyes were cold, showing a slightly murderous look that doesn't match her luxurious dress, "Can you give me an order?"
I saw the gorgeous girl in front of me-the banquet version of Miranda retracted the eagle, the long sword turned back and forth on the black gloves, but in the end failed to find the accustomed sword belt and hook, the Arund’s girl could only wrinkle Brow, hold the sword in his hand for the time being.
Wow.
  Tels blinked: Unexpectedly, this girl was dressed so beautifully.
   "I know, it's ugly."
  Miranda pulled the gem earrings uncomfortably:
"Yes, I shortened the mopping backswing for the convenience of action. Damn it, I still can't run. Ah, these earrings are really cumbersome. It must be those little guys who are playing tricks on me. Oh, forget it, I'm going now. Replace—"
  Everyone reacted instantly and hurriedly waved their hands and shook their heads.
   "No, no, no!"
   "No need to change!"
"This is good!"
   "Awesome!"
  "It is in line with the style of the Allende family!"
   "Don't lose your highness!"
"not bad."
  "……"
  Amidst the yelling of a group of people, Rolf grunted disdainfully, and pressed his mask with his head down.
  Under Miranda's suspicious gaze, everyone in the room subconsciously began to tidy up their clothes, either sitting in a dreadful manner, or describing it as solemn.
   seems to have grown up in an instant.
  "Tsk tusk," the logistics officer Shi Tuo sat on the table, and said while writing the account book, "Heh, man."
  Golofo didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
   "Where are you going, zombie?" D.D asked suspiciously.
  Glover didn't look back, squeezing out a few words in a dull voice:
   "Change dresses."
  But Thales frowned as he looked at Miranda.
   "But, Mira, how do you carry a sword in your body?"
  Miranda sighed:
   "I know, I wanted to wear a set that can carry weapons, even a knife, but they actually told me that there is no such thing..."
   "It's okay, ma'am," D.D suddenly appeared in front of her with a sincere expression, "I can help you get the sword all night."
  Miranda took a step back subconsciously, holding Ying Xiang to her chest, looking at him with a strange expression.
   "There is me!" Nexi's eyes lit up and he squeezed in.
   "Uh, is this kind of..." Wiya frowned.
   "Let me come," Glover's voice came from the dressing room, hesitantly, "I mean, I'm standing in the corner tonight."
"You don't have to assume the responsibility of guarding, ma'am, because a group of nobles will be around you, and you can't make it. But if you insist," Paul Bozdorf straightened his collar blankly and stretched out his right hand. "My Identity, you can stand closer to you."
   "Madam, I can stay on my feet tonight..."
   "Madam is right, it is my duty to protect Your Highness..."
   "Strange," Shi Tuo added in a dark tone behind, "No one wants to help with the sword, even with luggage."
this……
  Thyls, who couldn't stand the room full of peacocks, sighed and shook his head: "Man."
   "Quiet," Mallos tried hard to quit everyone, but apparently had little effect, "If there is a real need, it will be the same for anyone to take the sword..."
  Amidst the chaos, Miranda's expression became more and more ugly.
  A few seconds later, she suddenly moved forward, calming everyone down.
   looked at her expectantly.
   "Sir Marius," Miranda unexpectedly came to the watchman, Ying Xiang turned on her glove and sent it to the other side, "Can you take care of it?"
  In an incredible gaze, Mallos looked back at her in surprise.
   "I, I can appoint a group of people in the team..."
   "But I heard that you have a lot of experience on how to use swords, including sharp blades, right?" Miranda stood in front of Mallos, her eyes burning, the more shining.
Ah? How to use-sharp blade?
  Malles was startled again.
   "Fortunately," in the complex gaze of the full house, some inexplicable Mallos coughed, and took Yingxiang, "understand a little, understand a little."
  Miranda watched him take the long sword, her eyes moved slightly.
   "That Yingxiang will be entrusted to you for safekeeping, Tormund Mallos," Miranda looked at him as if looking at a prey, "I hope I can ask you someday."
   With the enviable gaze that filled the room, Mallos only thought it was weird.
  He reacted to something and looked at his men.
  Lost at the end, Thales naturally raised the book and blocked his face firmly.
  Miranda looked at the disappointment of the others, and suddenly smiled, as if spring back to the earth: "I know what you are thinking."
   "And that's why I hate wearing this stuff."
  I saw her expression cold:
   "Why, haven't you seen a woman?"
  Everyone was shocked, but Miranda had already turned around and walked and left the room decisively: "Don't forget the time!"
   "That..." D.D still wanted to explain something, but he was stunned.
  He is not the only one, the others are the same.
  The moment Miranda turned around, an ugly scar was clearly visible on her smooth back shoulder.
  It comes out from under the light silk, cuts through the skin, crosses the shoulders, reaches the back of the neck, and then climbs up like a centipede, straight into the hair clump, and even took away a small piece of hair, exposing the scalp.
  Miranda disappeared before her eyes.
  But the appearance of the scar is like a heavy hammer hitting the accent, breaking through the intoxicating dreams of spring, and also destroying all imagined beauty, which is incompatible with the beautiful and elegant dress.
   "Weapons of the Northlanders," Mallos's voice awakened everyone, "This kind of scar will be left."
  He lowered his head and put the eagle on the handle, his eyes were no longer the same.
   "I guess, that's not the only one."
  Everyone in the room regained their vitality and began to perform their duties. No one continued to chatter.
   "Wow," Wiya sighed, "How did she survive?"
   "You know, that stuff," Doyle sneered, "I have it too."
  Behind everyone, Thales lowered his eyes and opened "The Emerald Mysterious City" again.
  
  At the moment when King Horace and Chief Cork refused to yield to each other, the royal family and Iris were at war, and the kingdom was extremely critical. A young man walked alone and entered the precarious Emerald City.
He cleverly used tricks. First he joined the Cavaliers competition of Kevin Deere's family, and then went through all the way. Until the final, he was defeated by the Duke’s eldest son. He also won the respect of his opponents. Do not perish by the enemy" ranks.
And when the Duke of Cork asked him what reward he wanted at the banquet, the young man threw down his disguise and showed his family crest, shocking everyone present-the third prince Hyman Canxing came to the Emerald City and begged him. The Duke of Krishna and His Majesty the King turned their enemies into friends, and reconciliation is as good as ever.
  Prince Hyman has a handsome image, a good conversation, and a good skill, courage, and the guarantee of the Duke’s eldest son, which is quite appreciated by the Duke of Cork. But how arrogant and stubborn as the Prime Minister would be willing to subdue in front of a hairy boy, he just refused to give a single step in his words, until Hyman, who was first courtesy and then soldiers, put away his smile, put on the royal manner, and showed the same threat as his father:
  Just at the banquet, his people have kidnapped Miss Regina, Duke of Cork’s palm pearl. If the Duke refuses, Kevin Deere’s daughter will be in a different place.
  The Duke of Cork and his son were furious, and the knights of the South Bank were also angry. The duke's eldest son personally captured the despicable villain who had insulted the identity of the prince, and forced to ask Miss Regina's hiding place.
But when the duke and the knights who were eager to save the girl came to the place, they saw Miss Regina standing upright in front of the house. She opened the door with a smile, and came out from the inside of an angry, eight-finger, The awkward old man wearing a crown.
  In shock and surprise, the eight-finger king of the stars, Horace I, reluctantly told the Duke of Cork:
  He felt that the loss of was indeed a bit inconvenient.
Looking at His Majesty the King who was standing in front of him, and seeing Prince Hyman and his grumbling daughter who had been beaten with a bruised nose, and his grieving daughter, the Duke of Cork, who had come to understand, was deeply touched. Mounted on his mount, and then ordered the city gate to be opened wide, and with the highest standard of etiquette, the Supreme King was welcomed into the Emerald City.
  In this way, the kingdom reined in the precipice, a crisis that may bring catastrophic consequences, Yu Zi resolved.
