Chapter 108 She Attacked (1/2)

What happened in Xinghan Palace is too far away from the lives of ordinary people in the mysterious city.

Even if there is, the influence must be allowed to fly for a while.

For the citizens of Odu, this night is a rare moment of rest and indulgence, and a moment of pride for the Empire and the Queen.

Queen Evernight and Roger disguised themselves, put on the clothes of ordinary wealthy people, and walked side by side in the night market.

Roger saw the Queen's tense expression showing signs of melting, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "It's always different when you see the empire you built with your own eyes, right?"

"There's nothing particularly different." Queen Yongye snorted and turned her face away, not wanting him to notice the raised corners of her mouth.

Although the city protection magic array can monitor the fuzzy emotions of the whole city, but personally immersed in such a carnival, feeling the straightforward expression of the completely different red tape between ordinary citizens and nobles, even the drunken lazy man on the street seemed less so. It's dazzling.

Only when the Ivy Empire is peaceful, stable and prosperous can they enjoy life like this.

The things that nobles take for granted may be the only happiness they see in their lives for these ordinary people.

Roger didn't say much, knowing that he had taken the right step.

Although the Queen of Eternal Night has entered the realm of the ultimate self, she will still have emotional ups and downs.

Tonight, she seemed to have those nobles under her control, but those nobles who opposed her with great principles were also her followers who fought side by side to protect Ivy.

It’s just that we share hardships and hardships, and we share wealth and prosperity.

Even the final winner who takes control of the situation still feels that it would be more perfect without this scene.

If the empire can smoothly transition from feudalism to centralization, Queen Yongye will definitely not treat those nobles badly given her character.

Their power will be restricted, but their quality of life will never decline, and they will still have wealth that ordinary people cannot spend in hundreds of years.

It's just that people's hearts are not enough, and some greed is far beyond what reason can estimate.

If someone wants to die, there's really nothing they can do to stop him.

However, Empress Yongye has seen many storms and waves. After a moment of sentimentality, she walked out of the depressing palace and saw the simple happiness of the citizens outside. She knew that her hard work was not meaningless, and the light of the ivy would eventually shine on on more people.

Gradually I started to look away.

The world is huge, there are no nobles, and I still have 400 million people.

They will prove that my path is correct!

Roger followed the Queen of Evernight into a tavern in the dock area.

There was a dwarf bard who had obviously drunk too much. He stood on the table and sang in a ridiculous voice at the top of his voice: "It is the Queen who gives me bread to eat, it is the Queen who gives me linen clothes to keep away the cold, it is the Queen who gives me this wonderful night." ~~~”

The third-rate lyrics and music he wrote himself are not catchy, but they are better because of their simple melody and sincere singing.

It attracted a group of sailors and laborers who made a living on the dock to sing along with him, and the cheapest ale in their hands clashed together.

"You can never have enough ale!" the bard sang, blinking his ghostly eyes, and bowed to everyone in the tavern.

This is the reward-asking session after the performance.

Queen Yongye found it interesting and popped out a gold coin to the tavern owner: "Invite him to drink!"

The tavern owner was a kind-hearted person. He took the gold coins and felt it was too hot to touch: "You have too many, and he will get into trouble if he drinks."

The Queen of Eternal Night looked puzzled, and Roger explained: "One gold coin can buy hundreds of glasses of ale. He was so drunk tonight that he didn't know how to control himself. He dared to drink as much as you rewarded him, and drank himself to death. die."

"But this is only a gold coin." Queen Yongye said implicitly that she did not have any coins of smaller denominations.

Nobles may eat dozens of gold coins in one meal. Who would have thought that a single gold coin could make common people drunk and dreamy?

Roger smiled and said to the tavern owner on her behalf: "This lady will treat everyone to a glass of wine, and the poet will treat the rest."

The tavern owner praised: "The guests are generous."

"Thank you, beautiful lady!" When the coolies and sailors heard the news, they also raised their glasses to Queen Yongye.

The clothes and temperament of these two people are beyond the level of this area, and there will never be anyone who doesn't open their eyes to look for trouble.

Even if there is a petty thief who can't control himself, the bartender will teach him how to behave.

The boss ordered the pretty maid to set up a table in a quiet place on the second floor and serve two glasses of ale and several plates of side dishes, all in one gold coin.

The older and backward the era, the greater the gap between rich and poor.

Queen Yong Ye didn't know what was going on in her little head. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Suddenly he frowned and almost vomited.

Seeing the men below drinking in great excitement and enjoying themselves, she thought this was such a good wine.

When I put it in my mouth, I realized that it was bitter and muddy, with impurities originating from unknown steps floating in it. The storage process was not careless, and the miscellaneous flavors almost covered up the taste of the wine.

Roger was not surprised by the performance of the Queen of Evernight.

She is not so bad as to not eat minced meat, but she is also a little princess who is well-dressed and well-fed, how can she experience such joy in suffering.

He raised his glass of ale with a slight sense of superiority: "After hard work, alcohol brings a little numbness, which is the best enjoyment. Just drink it in a big gulp and it's done."

Roger raised the ale in front of him, wanting to show off to His Majesty.

But Haoqi Qianyun raised his glass, his face froze as soon as he took the drink, and his hand could no longer lift.

[How can this wine be so unpalatable? 】

Although he is not a little princess, modern food technology continues to improve and iterate, even if it is blended with industrial alcohol, it tastes much better than this...

The people of Qingteng must be suffering too much! The industrialization of magic is imminent!

Queen Yongye saw that he failed to pretend, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth. She pretended to be considerate and took the wine glass for him, and wiped the corner of his mouth with her sleeve: "I have been professionally trained to stop smiling easily. "

Roger responded with an awkward yet polite smile, feeling extremely embarrassed.

He coughed and changed the topic: "One day, the daily life enjoyed by the nobles can also be brought to the homes of ordinary people. Wine, meat, fine clothes and fine clothes will not be something that these workers cannot reach in their lifetime."

Queen Yongye suddenly asked: "Is this your ideal country?"

Roger asked: "Isn't this the country that your Majesty dreams of?"

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "If I add one more, I will be invincible in the world!"

…

…

Beppu, Duke of South Canton.

But when Nelia returned to her room, the first thing she did was to find the cursed magic makeup tray and send all the information about Roger's strength.

His mental power surpasses that of a legend, and his magic power is at the level of a junior magician. This has caused many of his outrageous performances.

Then she threw the dressing table to the ground as if it was hot to her hands, exhausted all her strength, and lay down on her princess bed.

To be able to come back alive, I really don’t know how many years of good luck have been consumed...

Unfortunately, the magic makeup tray was of excellent quality. It rolled on the ground a few times, but it was still intact as before, and even made a provocative "dip" in reply.

"Ahhhh, don't come over here!"

She covered her head with a pillow, fearing that the reply would be from the guy holding her soul contract, sending a new task list.

For Cornelia, tonight was really a scary night, and she was frantically testing on the edge of death.

The nobles collectively petitioned for the banishment of Roger, and the Queen of Evernight fought back forcefully. In the end, she only fainted an old prince, and the other nobles retreated.

This is simply a miracle!

Although the nobles' behavior of being arrogant at first and respectful at the end would become a joke in the empire if word spread, at least their lives were still alive.

The murderous nature of Queen Evernight is much weaker than in previous years.

This kind of dangerous intelligence work is really not suitable for me. Please end this terrible night quickly!

But Nelia closed her eyes and prayed, but unfortunately her wish failed and her door was pushed open.

The Duke of South Carneton said with a gloomy face: "Get up and pack your things quickly, we are leaving."

"Father, come home in a few days." Cornelia pouted and acted coquettishly.

The Duchy of South Canton was too lively. Although she signed a soul contract, she got a lot of fashionable and beautiful outfits, and she was planning to continue to show off in the circle of aristocratic ladies in the imperial capital.

"No, we are leaving the Ivy Empire." The Duke of South Canton gave an answer that made Cornelia look pale.

"Father, why?"

"Because Roger, who do you think will be the first person to investigate after the Night Guard is established?"

Whether it was the temptation by the river that night or the provocation at the ball, the Duke of South Carneton felt that he had become the number one enemy of the Charles family.

Of course, there is another reason he didn't say, and that is because Queen Yongye is so determined that food prices will definitely not rise back in the short term.

The food he had spent all his family property on to hoard was now as expensive as sand, and he would inevitably go bankrupt if he stayed in the Ivy Empire.

He needed to find a place where he could sell the food at a high price, such as the orc tribe that had just been defeated by the empire.

The defeated country is in chaos. It must be particularly short of food now, right?

Even if you don't have the money to buy one, it would be good to acquire a group of beautiful orc slaves like Tasika.

As long as he has money and people, he would still be a handsome nobleman in another place!

Just a few days ago, a broker came to the door and promised to help his family move to other countries.

At that time, the Duke of South Carneton felt that he had saved the life of Queen Evernight, and the Holy Family was in full swing, so there was no need for such services.

As a result, the ungrateful queen is not saved!

It's time for me to go to a wider world, sit and watch her build tall buildings, sit and watch her buildings collapse~

This is the escape route of the Duke of South Canton. You can’t imagine it, right?

…

…

Aodu, military headquarters, underground.

A contact center for Sparrow.

Margaret was not sleepy at all, and excitedly instructed her subordinates: "Three more noble families have requested immigration services? Arrangements can be made for them all!"

Putting down the communication crystal, Margaret praised: "Your Majesty, what a clever plan. Everything is in her plan. Sure enough, these nobles can't sit still and are ready to flee!"

The subordinates were also inspired by Margaret to become ardent fans of Queen Eternal Night, and they praised: "As expected of Your Majesty!"

This group of nobles from the empire fled, thinking they were looking for some mysterious organization, but it turned out that they were all pretending to be sparrows.

Now Margaret marked the route that these nobles would take to leave the country on the map, and prepared to send another regular army disguised as bandits to set up an ambush on the only way these immigrants would pass.

You can leave, but leave the money to my aunt!

The sparrow responsible for contacting the Duke of South Carneton asked for instructions: "Sir, the Duke of South Carneton wants to take the food to the orc tribe, should we snatch it?"

"Going to sell food to the orc tribe? Haha, let him go!"

Margaret thought of the secret treaty she had just signed with the orcs, and showed a sinister smile.

The Empire did not plunder the orc tribes in the first place, and there will be various kinds of assistance in the future. I want to sell food there to make up for the investment...

Great Majesty, is this all within your expectations?

She suddenly looked forward to these defected nobles living overseas.

When the time comes, I will arrange for Sparrow Duoduo to take magic photos. Her Majesty will definitely like to see it~ I am really your most useful little baby~

……

……

By the Rose River.

After coming out of the tavern, the Queen of Eternal Night has been silently observing Aodu.

Roger accompanied her and walked here again unknowingly. It felt a bit fun.

Do these queens and princesses like the riverside?

The celebration did not affect the cargo loading and unloading of the port. The empire's business was active, and cross-regional trade continued to increase. Many long-distance shipping was racing against time. Every night was very precious and could not be wasted.

However, on the day of the celebration, sailors and laborers who were willing to work overtime could get more salary. Everyone was willing to work for the face of copper coins.

The Queen of Eternal Night looked at the brightly lit, crowded but well-organized river surface, and suddenly smiled: "This is the unprecedented prosperity of Qingteng."

"The ships in the future will be ten or a hundred times larger than now, and the Rose River must be widened." Roger answered confidently.

"Do you think the power of magic will also affect the port?" asked the Queen of Eternal Night.

"Of course. There is huge room for improvement in the power of ships, the strength of keels, and the caliber of artillery. The loading and unloading power and speed of ports can also be improved. There is also the level of cargo transfer, overall management and scheduling, and storage. It is too rough now."

The Queen of Eternal Night imagined the picture according to his description, and her yearning revealed helplessness: "It is beautiful. Such a huge port must represent the highly developed business of Qingteng. It's a pity that there are seven gods, and there is not much time left for the empire. The prosperity will always end."

For an emperor who has a grand blueprint in his heart and sees a greater road, he naturally wants to borrow another five hundred years from heaven.

Poor empire only has ten years.

Even if he can unify the thoughts of all magicians, how many of those beautiful plans can be implemented?

War is a topic that the Empire can never avoid, and the gods are the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

To use a very vulgar phrase, the Empire is really going against the will of heaven.

This is the first time that the Queen of Eternal Night has taken the initiative to express her concern about the Empire's lack of time in front of Roger.

Roger did not doubt her judgment.

The situation of the Seven Gods joining forces against the Empire has already been established. She has prophetic spells and a bunch of powerful cabinets. It would be strange if she didn't know that the gods had already written the end of the Empire.

Even though the current Empire is different from the original destiny trajectory, it is only a very small ripple for the multidimensional plane, and it will not affect the overall situation of the Seven Gods at all.

The Seven Gods are waiting for the ongoing war to end and draw out their strength to deal with the Queen of Eternal Night. What is the Empire waiting for?

"Your Majesty, please believe in the power of industrialization. Time is indeed short, but the changes it brings are also a hundred or a thousand times greater than in the past. We are very likely to create miracles belonging to mortals." Roger said affirmatively.

The Queen of Eternal Night turned around and smiled at Roger: "Don't worry, I have never wavered in the path I want to take, but sometimes I feel sorry that some encounters are too late after all."

Her eyes were too bright and too aggressive, and it was not difficult to guess who she was referring to.

Roger's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. The scene of her pleading for the nobles in front of Xinghan Palace was still in front of him. Suddenly looking at him so bluntly, he couldn't help but have too many fantasies.

A girl's words like this, is she suggesting to cherish time and take the next step quickly?

He didn't dare to believe his guess. After all, the current Majesty is not an ordinary girl. Her mind is getting deeper and deeper. It's possible that she is deliberately hinting and then watching him laugh.

In the end, Roger didn't dare to respond directly, but half-jokingly said: "There is a saying that it is better to come at the right time than to come early, and it is not without its advantages to come later. As long as we work hard, we can continue to extend this road."

The Queen of Eternal Night found that he was still standing still, and she was annoyed. Did she play this kid badly?

I have said this, and you are still playing tricks? What are you afraid of?

She also changed to a half-joking tone: "Then how should Lord Roger work specifically and what kind of road should be extended?"

Roger's mind flashed with prosperity, wealth, civilization and so on, but facing the pair of bright eyes that gradually gave rise to shame and annoyance, he finally had an idea: "Your Majesty, let's use the Rose River that nourishes the capital as a dance floor and the whistle that never stops all night as music. Please invite all the sleepless citizens to be the audience. Let us try to cherish every second and complete the interrupted celebration with dance steps."

"It's a good idea!"

The Queen of Eternal Night laughed softly and took his hand. The two flew to the center of the Rose River.

Under their feet were busy cargo ships of all sizes, and the whistles that sounded one after another were like a magnificent symphony.

Roger naturally stretched out an arm to hold her slender waist, and the Queen of Eternal Night put her other hand on his shoulder.

The power of magic drove his feet, and he was born to dance to the rhythm, driving the Queen of Eternal Night. The two of them circled like swallows above the river.

The Queen of Eternal Night removed the disguises of the two people, and their extremely bright and beautiful faces reappeared in the world, and the light gauze of the cheongsam also danced gracefully in the air.

Mist rose from the river, and the figures of the two people were vaguely visible.

The sound of the whistle became more and more ethereal, the hustle and bustle of the city was getting closer and closer, the music changed its tune frequently, and the dancer's feet became more and more compact with the rhythm.

A sailor was standing on the deck drinking secretly. He looked up and suddenly saw a water spirit river monster dancing in the air. When he looked carefully, it disappeared. He was scared and sweated all over.

The fog was spreading, and the figures of Roger and the Queen of Eternal Night were getting higher and higher.

They reached a height where they could overlook the entire mysterious city, and the magic circle of the city protection lit up.

At this moment, the whole city was shining for them.

They forgot where they were, forgot their identities in the elegant dance steps, and forgot the worldly troubles. The sky and the earth turned into stars and streamers, setting off the dance that the Queen of Eternal Night was thinking about.

Finally, the song ended.

The final finishing move was Roger hugging the Queen of Eternal Night's slender waist to himself, her small hands supported his chest, and the two bodies were only a hair's breadth away from being pressed together.

Roger took a deep breath, suppressed those thoughts that shouldn't have, and didn't dare to look at the beautiful little face in front of him. Instead, he stared at the vast city of mysteries: "What is the gap between your majesty and God at this time?"

Such a dance, the scene, music and his movements are all miracles of her magic creation, and the control is perfect, which is definitely not the level of ordinary people.

The Queen of Eternal Night also had a little disorder in her breathing, and she slowed down before answering: "God has become a slave to faith, and I will never be!"

Just when Roger was thinking about this sentence, he suddenly found that the hand she supported on his chest loosened, and her curvy body pressed against him, and then she raised her head and lightly imprinted on his lips:

"Good night, little Roger."

She suddenly figured it out. Since I don't want to be a god, I don't have to abide by every word of God's instructions, right?

Girls can't confess, but it doesn't mean they can't A!
