As a soldier, the first and most important quality is not combat effectiveness or discipline, but obedience to orders!
As a leader among soldiers, Commander Crevaux has always been strict with himself and regards obeying orders from his superiors as his most important duty.
Although he was very unhappy, even though he was very worried about Princess Isabella's safety, now that Isabella gave him an order as the third princess of the empire, he had no other choice but to accept the order.
Seeing Captain Creval leading the Knights soldiers to leave first, Isabella let out a long sigh of relief and finally settled the conflict.
Ying Tianyi asked Natalia and others to put away their weapons, stared at Isabella with complicated eyes for a while, and finally uttered two words: "Thank you!"
This was not a sincere thank you, it was just a formality, and Isabella could naturally hear it.
It was obvious that Ying Tianyi had seen her true face, or seen through her ambitions, and the distance between the two had invisibly widened further, which made Isabella have a bitter smile on her lips.
The thoughts in my heart are always firm.
The team paused, and as soon as Ying Tian walked to the ruins of the village, he gently hugged the sad and crying Karina, and silently comforted her with his warm embrace.
Lobach, who knew he was guilty, also walked to Karina and knelt down to apologize to the villagers who died innocently.
The priests headed by Obers seemed to have noticed something. They all closed their eyes and stood quietly, praying quietly for the innocent victims.
"Crack!"
Nuo Yu gently patted Isabella on the shoulder and whispered: "You are very similar to someone I know, who is also a princess. Like her, you are a natural leader, but you are not a qualified leader."
Wife. If you really love someone, you should always think about him, instead of thinking about how to use him. In this regard, you have failed because he is not an ordinary man!"
Don't look at Nuo Yu as a nymphomaniac in front of Ying Tianyi. It's just that she wants to make up for her youthful passion. In fact, she has rich life experience and is a true wise person.
She chose Ying Tianyi to be her man, firstly because Ying Tianyi saw all of her body, leaving the more traditional woman with no more choice.
The second and most important reason was that she was wise. When she met Ying Tianyi for the first time, she realized that this seemingly gentle young man was not simple and qualified to befriend her. So without any more choices,
She resolutely chose Ying Tianyi, a little man, to stay with her for the rest of her life.
Isabella, who is almost seventeen years old this year, is still too young in front of Nuo Yu, even though she has received a royal education and has a heart far beyond her peers.
After a period of contact, Nuoyu had already seen Isabella thoroughly and knew that she was also an ambitious princess, but he just didn't say it out loud.
Now that Ying Tianyi and Captain Crevo almost fell out, Isabella chose to side with Ying Tianyi after weighing the pros and cons. This seemingly smart move actually exposed a lot of things, at least according to Nuo Yu
Be very clear.
After hearing what Nuo Yu said, Isabella was slightly shocked and immediately began to reflect on her mistakes.
Soon, she figured it out. As Ying Tianyi's woman, she should not use her status as a princess to mediate between the two parties and forcefully push Captain Creval away. Instead, she should be like a she-wolf protecting her calf, helping him unconditionally.
As Ying Tianyi scolded Captain Crevo, this is what a girl in love should do.
Sometimes, childish behavior is the way to show your true feelings, and being too smart can make people annoying!
Fortunately, it’s not too late to discover your mistakes in time and make amends.
During the rest of the trip, every time they passed a ruined village, Ying Tianyi and others would stop and pray for the deceased villagers.
Isabella had already learned from Cyrus the reason why these villages were abandoned. As a princess, she also bowed her head in silence for the villagers.
This is not an affectation, but a sincere expression.
Ordinary people are the foundation of the country. Anyone who is not too ignorant will understand this. Isabella also did not agree with sacrificing a large number of people to conduct transfer experiments, but she did not know about it at all at the time.
Now that she knows it, she also feels that she should do some small things within her power. Even if it seems insignificant, at least it is her intention.
Fortunately, her intentions were not in vain. Although Natalia and others still refused to pay attention to her, Ying Tianyi's attitude toward her became much better...
Since there were almost no professionals below the intermediate level in the team, the team moved forward very quickly. Within a few days, they passed a small town and arrived at a suburban manor.
This is a standard Western aristocratic manor, covering a large area, with iron fence walls, front and back gardens, and a luxurious villa building in the center. Busy domestic slaves and maids can be seen walking around everywhere.
Standing in front of the manor, Natalia, who had always been strong, burst into tears and burst into tears.
Because this place used to be her home!
But now, the old house remains the same, but no one recognizes it.
Natalia's father, Baron Huler, was executed for treason, and all his family members were implicated. The remaining manor was later given to other new nobles and became the home of others.
"I want to go in and have a look!" After crying for a while, Natalia looked at the familiar iron gate in front of her and made an unexpected request.
Everyone, including Ying Tianyi, thought she didn't want to enter the sad place, but unexpectedly, this strong red-haired girl decided to go in and take a look.
"Let me come!" It's not easy to enter a noble's house. Even empire soldiers cannot break into private homes without any reason. Fortunately, Isabella took the initiative to stand up.
As a princess, it would be an honor for Isabella to visit any noble house she wanted. So Isabella asked Cyrus to call the door, and soon she was warmly welcomed by the new owner of the manor.
Stepping into the familiar door again, her mood was completely different. Natalia bit her red lips tightly, not letting herself cry anymore, and silently walked around the manor, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery, her heart was slowly hurting.
Cool down and become stronger.
Ying Tianyi could keenly feel that Natalia had undergone another transformation. In the original dnf game plot, Natalia was a cold, cruel and even perverted iron lady. Now, she seems to be moving towards
That direction has changed.
The only thing that remains unchanged is her dependence on Ying Tianyi.
When staying overnight in the manor that night, Natalia stayed in her previous room, frantically asking for more from Ying Tianyi, so that throughout the night, Ying Tianyi's hard-working little brother almost stayed in Natalia's room.
in vivo.
When leaving the manor the next day, the smile returned to Natalia's face, and her relationship with Isabella seemed to have become closer.
But only Ying Tianyi knows that behind Natalia's smile is the cold fire of revenge, and no one can extinguish it...
Due to some delays on the road, when Ying Tianyi and others arrived at Weitalun, it was already late May and less than ten days before His Majesty the Emperor's birthday.
Envoys from various countries, places, and races on the mainland have begun to arrive one after another.
No matter how disgusting the Delos Empire's tough style was in the past, now that mutation phenomena are causing disasters all over the continent, and all kinds of monsters are emerging one after another, all countries and races should give up internal fighting and unite to resist the mutation monsters.
On the surface, the Principality of Belmare has been completely occupied by the empire. This visiting delegation is very sincere. It is actually the Queen of the Principality, Skadi, who personally came to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on his birthday.
The Void Motherland, which had just ended the war with the empire not long ago, heard that the old king Sunan Kai died of illness and was succeeded by the first princess of the Xuzu, Suran Askar.
The new queen ended her motherland's long-standing policy of isolation from the country and actively developed diplomacy. This time she also personally led a delegation to visit.
In the Dark Elf Kingdom, which is isolated from the world and lives underground, the new Queen Meia is a pacifist, but the power of the kingdom is in the hands of the Senate headed by Elder Shaplen.
The Senate has always opposed contact with humans, and even looks down on humans with backward magical civilization. Only Queen Meia insists on peaceful coexistence with humans. This time, she ignored the opposition of the Senate and came to the empire in person to celebrate her birthday.
Finally, there is the Bantu tribe of barbarians living on the northern border of the Stru Mountains. Their leader, the blunt sword master Bwanga, personally leads a team of elite warriors to the battlefield.
They did not come to celebrate their birthdays, they just happened to pass by and visit old friends. Due to some delays a while ago, Bwanga was not able to enter the Canyon of the Dead with Aganzuo and others at the first time. The main purpose of coming out this time was to lead the tribe.
The elite go to the Canyon of the Dead to experience.
What surprised Ying Tianyi was that he actually saw the extremely rare dwarves in the cave.
This magical race, which is good at drinking, crafting, and boasting, was originally a large clan in the history of the Arad continent like the disappeared elves. However, for some unknown reason, it later chose to live in seclusion and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
Now the dwarves suddenly appear in Japan, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing...
In the palace, during the night banquet.
Since all of us here are our own people and no foreign guests are invited, it can be regarded as a family dinner.
His Majesty the Emperor is still wearing golden armor and is at the top of the list.
Baan, who looked slightly pale and looked not in good condition, sat opposite the emperor.
On the emperor's left side are the eldest princess Xilia and her fiancé Irubek. On the right side are Ying Tianyi and Isabella.
Although the nobles of the empire had three wives and four concubines, and many families, as the emperor, Leon Heinrich III was a lonely man. Since the queen's death, he had devoted himself to personal cultivation and was busy developing the empire. He did not care about military power at all.
Without re-engagement, she now only has two daughters, plus a wild nephew named Ying Tianyi.
The family reunited today, and His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood. He took Barn, who had not yet recovered, to have a family dinner together.
Regarding Ba En's injury, Ying Tianyi only knew roughly.
Previously in the Canyon of the Dead, three sword masters went to challenge the most difficult "Tower of Despair". The result was not good. All three sword masters failed. Although they saved their lives, they were all seriously injured.
I heard that they all met an old senior in the "Tower of Despair" and were beaten until they lost their temper. In the end, it was the old senior who saw that it was not easy for them to practice, so he spared their lives and begged the God of Death to let them go.
.
Fortunately, although they were defeated this time, they also gained a lot. After the three of them left the Canyon of the Dead, they recuperated from their injuries while studying swordsmanship. Their strength did not retreat but advanced, and they had reached the edge of a higher level.
In order to express his concern for his teacher, as soon as Ying Tian came back, he took out the game blood medicine he had made, hoping to help Barn recover as soon as possible.
At the dining table, Ying Tianyi ate leisurely and elegantly, chatting and laughing with others from time to time, showing his aristocratic cultivation to perfection.
His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with the results of Ying Tianyi's previous missions. Although luck is involved, luck is also a kind of strength. Now the three major adventurers in the Principality of Bellemare have collapsed, leaving only the Night Rose Guild hidden in the dark.
, leading to the separation of the major, medium and small adventurer forces, and the principality falling into chaos, allowing the empire to take advantage of the situation and successfully complete the occupation.
"Tianyi, you did very well this time, uncle should give you some reward!" His Majesty the Emperor drank the wine with a smile, took out a beautiful box, and placed it in front of Ying Tianyi.
Ying Tianyi was not polite. He opened the box and took a look. Inside was an exquisite necklace. The pendant was a special emblem, a bit like the national emblem of the Delos Empire, but different. Judging from the smell, this necklace was probably
It's an artifact.
His Majesty the Emperor touched his thick mustache and said with a smile: "This is a legacy left by our royal family's ancestors. It is called the 'Honor of Perrus'. Only the best members of our royal family are qualified to wear it."
The Honor of Perus, in the DNF game, is a very practical artifact-level necklace that has a chance to enhance the wearer's power according to a percentage.
Now in the real Arad continent, the function of this necklace is not mentioned for the moment. Its symbolic meaning alone is worthy of discussion.
The Perus Empire is the predecessor of the Delos Empire. According to His Majesty the Emperor, this necklace is also a special equipment for the royal family and cannot be used by ordinary people. But now it is given to Ying Tianyi. It seems to be a good intention, but in fact it is not.
There is a layer of temptation involved.
It is estimated that His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed at first and recognized Ying Tianyi as his nephew without much thought. Later, after thinking about it carefully and combining the feedback information from various parties, he also found that Ying Tianyi's identity seemed a bit suspicious.
It's just that this kind of face-to-face interview behavior can easily arouse others' resentment, and only the overbearing Emperor dares to do this.
Ying Tianyi estimated that if he could not get the approval of the necklace spirit and could not wear this necklace that symbolized his status as a member of the royal family, then His Majesty the Emperor might flip the table and fall out with him on the spot.
Even though Ying Tianyi himself is not weak in strength, and he has the ghost god Saya beside him, the imperial royal family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, can definitely find ways to suppress him. Even His Majesty the Emperor himself has unfathomable strength.
"Thank you, uncle!" Ying Tianyi's thoughts changed quickly, with a gentle smile on his face. He picked up the necklace without hesitation, closed his eyes and communicated with the spirit of the weapon.
Within a moment, Ying Tianyi opened his eyes and put on the necklace. And this artifact necklace, which symbolized the status of a member of the royal family, also instantly matched Ying Tianyi's aura, and they seemed to be indistinguishable from each other.
In other words, the necklace weapon spirit recognized Ying Tianyi's identity.
"Hahaha, good!" As soon as he saw Ying Tian put on the necklace passed down by his ancestors, His Majesty the Emperor was in a great mood and couldn't help clasping his hands and laughing.
The eldest princess, Xilia, had long regarded Ying Tianyi as her biological brother. Now that she had once again confirmed that Ying Tianyi's identity was correct, she beamed with joy.
Only Isabella breathed a long sigh of relief. The biggest worry in her heart completely disappeared, and she couldn't help but get excited. But she still had one doubt that she had not yet solved, and that was the sister whom Ying Tianyi personally admitted last time.
Who is this woman with black hair and black eyes?
After confirming Ying Tianyi's identity, His Majesty the Emperor no longer had any scruples and laughed: "Tianyi, you bad boy, don't think that your uncle doesn't know the bad things you have done. After all, Isabella is also your sister, you
He secretly bullied her behind her uncle's back. But it doesn't matter, we are a family.
People don't have so many scruples. Your uncle agrees to your matter, and you will be Isabella's fiancé from now on, which can be regarded as a close relationship. From today on, you will move to the palace to live with Isabella!
If you have a child, give birth as soon as possible to continue the bloodline of our royal family!"
As expected of the domineering and arrogant Emperor, he didn't care at all about the incest, ethics, and morality in the eyes of others. He actually agreed to the sister-sister relationship between Isabella and Ying Tianyi, and even said
It's so straightforward that it's too late for anyone to object.
"Thank you uncle... uh, no, it should be thank you, father!" Ying Tianyi didn't know what politeness meant, so he immediately hit the snake and followed the stick, accepting the marriage.
In his eyes, these recognitions and marriages are trivial matters and should not be taken to heart at all. Didn't you see that he and the God of Death are both relatives? It's not a big deal to have multiple emperors and father-in-laws. Instead, they can enjoy the most luxurious life in the palace.
!
As for whether he is a member of the royal family, there is no need to confirm this, it is 100% false!
But why would the royal family accept him as the master of the artifact necklace passed down by the royal family?
The answer is very frustrating for the necklace weapon spirit. It did not recognize Ying Tianyi, but was forced to surrender.
Ying Tian is a "soul devourer" among the gods of death. With the help of his brothers and sisters, he has further strengthened his swallowing ability. Now he can not only swallow unconscious soul essence, but also complete souls.
This also includes conscious artifact spirits.
If the necklace weapon spirit was unwilling to surrender just now, Ying Tianyi would swallow part of its soul and erase its consciousness, but the necklace itself could still be used, just like the previous weapon spirit's incomplete artifact "Eternal Pointer".
This is a very scary thing for a weapon spirit, so the necklace weapon spirit obediently chose to surrender.
After confirming Ying Tianyi's identity and confirming his marriage to Isabella, everyone was happy at this family dinner. Even Barn, who was injured, happily drank a few more drinks.
But just as the family banquet was about to end, Ying Tianyi heard some not-so-good news.
Cyrus, the deputy captain of the special team, suddenly came to report in a hurry. Miss Paris, who had followed Ying Tianyi to visit the country, for some unknown reason, stormed into the State Guesthouse arrogantly and started a fight with the envoys of the virtual motherland.
