Skeleton King

The magic island is powerful. Although the Jowett family has a fief in the north, their foundation is not here.Patriarch Jowett discovered an astonishing amount of ruby ​​veins in the fief. According to the theory, he wanted to hand over some of them to the empire. However, in order to accumulate capital for Prince Aachen and for the benefit of the family, Patriarch Jowett secretly concealed it. thing.

However, the north is already close to the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire, and most of the Kooser family's fiefdoms are gathered here.On the left of the Jowett family is the fief of Prince Andreas, which is also the most affluent province in the north; on the top is the Douglas family, whose fief is adjacent to the North Sea, and has a long and narrow area; on the right is a small fief, which was originally a branch of the Cooser family , His Majesty Ludwig IV's biological father left him, but Ludwig IV wore the king's crown, and that fief also directly belonged to the imperial capital.

Patriarch Jowett thought about what to do if the imperial capital found out about concealing the ruby ​​vein.With the support of the Jowett family to Ludwig IV, and they are His Majesty's in-laws, as long as they voluntarily hand in the rubies that have been mined, the family will be punished at most. Can they still be ransacked?

The vast majority of catastrophes start not with unforgivable crimes, but with a few wrong steps in a lack of thoughtfulness.

The ruby ​​vein is right on the border between the Jowett family and the Douglas family fief. The fire-attribute magic element in the mine vein is too rich. No matter how carefully the Jowett family mines it, it is impossible to cover up the gradually rich fire-attribute magic in this area. element.

It's a pity that the Douglas family who came to find Chief Jowett didn't just want a share of the pie, they wanted to dedicate the ruby ​​veins to Magic Island in exchange for a large number of magic items.

The gleaming sharp knife around the neck, the rich rewards promised by the magic island, and the consequences of informing His Majesty Ludwig IV of this matter - the Jowett family and Queen Celia will lose Ludwig IV Your Majesty's trust and favor - Patriarch Jowett had no choice but to make his most sensible decision.

What happened later was no longer within the control of Chief Jowett.

A commoner who accidentally discovers a ruby ​​vein; a low-level magician who feels the fluctuation of magic elements in the Jowett family's fiefdom, thinking that there are strange treasures born here; More and more innocent blood was stained on the hands.

Northwest desert.

Fenfur took Jonah to visit the last elder of the Jowett family for the third time. His white hair was sparse, his face was covered with light red spots, and the lines of suffering turned into ravines, which were also clear It can be seen that he tightly grasped Fenfur's sleeve with his withered hands, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, even if the Jowett family is guilty, the blood of countless ordinary people has been paid back, and the patriarch and the young patriarch have also fought. died……"

Fenfur wanted to shake off the old man's hand, but seeing the old man's turbid tears streaming from his eyes, and seeing the man who was energetic a few years ago turn into this old-fashioned appearance, she restrained herself again.

The most successful investment made by the Jowett family was to offer their loyalty to His Majesty Ludwig IV.They took off the nouveau riche hats from their heads, put on Chinese clothes, and became the envy of the upper class of the imperial capital.But after they reneged on their oath, they returned double the glory bestowed on them by the king and the splendor left to them by time.

The experience of wandering in the past two years has taught Fen Fuer a lot. She has long since become calm, and she will look at problems with the calmest and most rational eyes.

Fenfur said: "Father, it is already a gift for the Jowett family to return to the northwest. Although the main branch of the Jowett family is in the north and is almost wiped out, the branch of the Jowett family has always been in the northwest. This is where you are." The base camp. Although the surviving people of the Jowett family have left their mark, it is not difficult for you to live in the northwest and live better than ordinary people."

The elders of the Jowett family stared blankly at Princess Fenfur.He understood that Princess Fenfur was already the last hope of the Jowett family.

"However, Her Royal Highness Princess Fenfur, the family has never thought of betraying His Majesty Ludwig IV. Every step of the way to this day, the family has been persecuted by someone with a heart. The family only learned of the secret collusion between the Douglas family and Siben Koose. It was they who sowed up the relationship between the family and His Majesty Ludwig IV, and set a trap that we have fallen to this point." Elder Joyt burst into tears and said sadly: "Such a blood feud, such a blood feud..."

Although Elder Jowett said that he was wronged, if Fenfur was so easily persuaded, she would not be able to go to the northwest.

Fenfur thought, the tears of the conspirators are unbelievable.

Elder Jowett pulled Fenfur's sleeve and continued to cry bitterly, "Princess Fenfur, don't you want to go back to the imperial capital? Don't you want to go back to your home?"

Fenfur finally shook off Elder Jowett's hand and stood up, "Elder, I respect you as an elder and the last elder of my mother's family, so I came to see you. But you don't have to be aggressive with me. At the time I If I insist on marrying Bartholomew Finger, my father has already let me choose, if I insist on leaving, I will not be able to return to the imperial capital in this lifetime."

There was a trace of desolation in Fenfur's eyes.She thought, Father, did you see my fate at this moment back then, did you predict my current situation at that time.Fenfur said: "Elder Jowett, you don't need to pin your hopes on me. I can't go back to the imperial capital. Brother Xiben has already broken through to the sword master. Even if he stands in front of me unarmed now, I can't kill him. , unable to avenge the Jowett family."

Fenfur turned sideways, looked down at Elder Jowett, and said, "Moreover, thousands of innocent members of the Jowett family died not under the sword of Brother Xiben, but under your ambition."

Elder Jowett stared blankly at Princess Fenful, he stood up slowly, and knelt down in front of Princess Fenful.

Fenfur didn't expect it at all, she took two steps back in surprise, not wanting to be greeted by Elder Jowett.

Patriarch Jowett knelt on the ground, looked at Princess Fenfur, and said, "His Royal Highness, the governors of the two northwest provinces have received orders from Siben Keauser, and Princess Fenfur has died in the In the Finger Empire, all those who pretend to be Princess Fenfur will be shot to death. Her Royal Highness, Princess Fenfur, Siben Cooser is trying to kill you! Do you want to change your name and surname, and hide like a mouse on the street? Have you lived this life?! You are the blood of His Majesty Ludwig IV and Queen Celia!"

The expression on Fenfur's face was unpredictable, but her tone was almost dead calm, "You don't understand, it's not that I don't want to go back to the imperial capital, it's that I can't go back."

Elder Jowett's eyes were astonishingly bright, and the pain and depression of the past half year broke out at this moment, "His Royal Highness, Princess Fenfur, no one wants you to return to the imperial capital. You have been in the Northwest for a few months, and if you want to come, you will also Seeing how desolate and barren it is here, I heard that you often treat civilians. You don’t charge money for civilians who can’t afford medicine, and you treat them with all your heart. People in the Northwest regard you as a saint and think that you It is a treasure bestowed by God to the Northwest."

Elder Jowett’s voice was hoarse but firm, “The Jowett family once desperately wanted to leave here and go to the prosperous south. But fate has already given us the most accurate answer. The Jowett family is only in the northwest, where they are giving birth to us Only in the land can the roots be deep and the leaves flourish. Your Royal Highness, Princess Fenfur, you have been to so many places, even to the end of the Finger Empire, but fate still brought you here.

Your Royal Highness Princess Fenfur, have you ever thought that this is your destination, you belong to the common people of the Northwest, and belong to the Northwest.

Sieben Koorser was not recognized by His Majesty Ludwig IV.Even if he ascended to the throne, he is not righteous in the world, and he cannot get the support of all provinces.

Your Royal Highness, Princess Fenfur, you should think of your younger brother, Prince Aachen, instead of yourself.His Majesty Siben Keauser is imprisoned, he is treasonous, and has lost the possibility of inheriting the throne, but the existence of Prince Aachen must be a thorn in his throat for Siben Keauser. How can he let Aachen go if he dares to arrest the princess blatantly? Prince Chen?

And the civilians in the Northwest, why are they guilty of living in this bitter cold place for generations?They are more loyal, kind, hardworking and brave than people in the south.As long as the princess is willing, they will love her sincerely and become her sharpest spear and strongest shield!Invincible for the princess!For the sake of Prince Aachen and the people of the Northwest, please become the Queen of the Northwest! "

……

"Nuoou, you're here." The Northwest Prince waved his hand to prevent Nuoou from saluting.Even though Prince Xiben has become regent, he is no different from usual to Nuoou, it can be said that he is closer than his own brother.

Nuo Ou said: "What is your Highness looking for me for?"

"There are two things." Prince Xiben lifted up the wine on the table, took a sip, and said directly, "One, I want to meet the Mellon University scholar."

Mellon University scholars stay in Green Castle all the year round, and they are the best healers on the eastern plains of Louisiana Province. When Nou and Gabriel were young, they were also enlightened by Mellon University scholars.Ludwig IV once hoped that the Mellon University scholar would become an official, but the Mellon University scholar declined. Nou wondered if Prince Xiben also had this plan.

"Nuo Ou, don't get me wrong, I didn't intend to let Mellon University scholars go to the imperial capital. But the three surviving scholars in the Millais Library, the whereabouts of the Millais University scholars are uncertain, and the Myron University scholars are in the port of Nice all the year round. It’s just that I sent people to invite him three times, but he refused to come to the imperial capital.” Prince Xiben was very angry, but he couldn’t put a knife on the neck of the scholar of Myron University, after all, behind the Millais library was the magic island.

"His Highness wants to ask about the Xingchen University scholar?" Nuo Ou asked.

Prince Xiben nodded without denying it.

There are often scholars in the Millais library, but not often there are scholars with titles.Every time a titled scholar appears in the Millais library, the titled scholar will directly or indirectly affect the two empires.What's more, when the Star University scholar appeared, it happened to be the beginning of Prince Nishimoto's plan.

The emergence of a star university scholar made Prince Nishimoto feel uneasy.The intuition of the strong is extremely accurate.After Prince Xiben broke through to the Juggernaut, he never ignored the thoughts that floated in his mind.

Nou agreed, "I see."

"The second thing is simpler. I heard that you have investigated the past of Mrs. Caroline, the red rose of Rose Castle. I want a piece of information about Mrs. Caroline." Prince Xiben put the wine glass back on the table , the wine glass made a crisp sound, "However, Nou, why did you think of investigating Mrs. Caroline?"
