Fight back, pianist

Returning to the imperial capital again, An Yu and Gu Yan were welcomed by everyone. As heroes who calmed down the border, this group of teenagers officially entered the field of vision of the Odin people as the next generation of the empire. This is the first time for An Yu and Gu Yan. Once entered from the main gate of the empire, the water streams on both sides were divided, and a large road appeared in the middle.

The shopkeeper who once sold the water ostrich to An Yu stood there endlessly boasting to others that the captain of the team was his customer. Looking at the envious eyes of the people around him, the shopkeeper raised his head, as if the one who became the hero of the empire was Own.

The road leads directly to Odin's imperial palace. At present, Odin's hottest power figure, the newly appointed little prince, Lu Yiran, personally came to the door to welcome them. Now Lu Yiran has regained his identity. The next royal family took advantage of the experience in the temple to attack the highest level in the mainland - the temple.

In the end, under the strong request of Odin's royal family, Lu Yiran, who had been hiding and living like a mouse, formally stepped onto the stage. The student's family is made up.

In the Odin royal hall, a middle-aged man with a scepter in his hand was sitting in the hall. Lu resolutely led them in, and bowed respectfully, "Father."

An Yu and the rest of the people followed closely to salute. This middle-aged man has been in charge of Odin for nearly 40 years. During this period, the development of the entire Odin is obvious to all. He is a real emperor.

The middle-aged man walked to the front of the team and laughed, "You don't need to be too restrained. You are the heroes of the empire and should be treated preferentially. My son often mentions you friends to me. I think he can get along with you guys." , I am very relieved."

There are many descendants of imperial nobles in the team. In their images, the emperor of Odin is an existence of spiritual belief in the empire, but now this person stands in front of them, and the first sentence he says is a father's speech.

Not a prince, but a child, not a subordinate, but a friend, proud of having them, looked up at the king in surprise, and found that this person was so kind after he stepped down from the altar.

The middle-aged man looked at the back, there was a person standing there, and there was a person who was far away from everyone. Feeling the eyes of Emperor Odin, Gu Jinran nodded politely.

"Father, that is the Patriarch of the Border Ancient Family. I mentioned this matter to you last time." Lu Yiran introduced.The middle-aged man nodded. He did mention that the requirement there was to be a noble in the imperial capital. The family can be easily shaken.

The first two people should be An Yu and Gu Yan. I have to say that he has heard about these two students for a long time. From the beginning of admission, they have participated in almost all major events of the Odin Military Academy. , It only took a few years for them to gradually enter the grade leader level.

Ever since he knew that the border mission that had been suspended for a long time was taken over by two fledgling teenagers, the emperor of the empire personally pulled out the information of the two. He thought they were two children who didn't know the depth, but he seldom respected others. Resolutely showed great trust in these two classmates.

I have to say that my son's vision is very accurate. They successfully pacified the border area. What's more, not a single soldier was injured. Even the main city of Anjia, which was the main battlefield, was not damaged too much. The time has been taken care of, and the transferred people can return to their hometowns after one month.

"You have done a good job this time, so I, as the highest authority in Odin, will give you rewards. In addition to the inner court point rewards that should belong to you, there are additional gifts." The atmosphere is very harmonious, the middle-aged man As soon as he finished speaking, some of these young people began to discuss.

This is the reward promised by the emperor of the empire. It is absolutely impossible to be bad. Even the noble children of these empires are still very curious and excited about this kind of reward.

"First of all, let's talk about the rewards for this border visitor. Gu Jinran, as the head of the ancient border family, now, there will be people from the empire to accept your border territory. You will be taken back to the country from today, but at the same time, you will become Odin's imperial nobleman and enjoy all the rights of the imperial nobleman." This reward is a promise to Gu Jinran at the beginning, but it is obviously more than that.

"At the same time, the anti-magic order can be given to the Gu family to avoid being involved in the center of power. When someone in the Gu family breaks through the level, the anti-magic order will become a weapon to protect the family. It can call the imperial army and keep the family safe." Middle-aged Ren said his additional rewards for Gu Jinran.

It has to be said that this reward is perfect for Gu Jinran, although it is not a priceless artifact, but it hits what the young Patriarch of the Gu family wanted most.Why did he give up the century-old family business of the ancient border family and come to this imperial capital to become a newly promoted imperial nobleman?

Because what he wants is a stable and stable state of life, in which he can protect all the people he counts on himself to protect, such as his father.The Forbidden Order perfectly captured this point, it was a temptation that Gu Jinran could not refuse.

Gu Jinran was a little dazed, and then made a respectful gift again, and then ended up with the scroll handed over by the highest authority in Odin.

Afterwards, the conferment was still going on, and all the people came forward to accept the praise from the empire. Mo Yuqing looked at the wooden sign in his hand in disbelief, and a few large characters were vigorously engraved on the sign: Huangshang Mojia.

There are many imperial merchants in the imperial capital, who specialize in the noble business here. There are many nobles in the imperial capital, and there are many demands, but the competition is also great, but there is a kind of business that is completely monopolized by an organization, and that is the business of the royal family. Those in power will choose one of the royal merchants to use as the royal family. The development of the Mo family has reached a bottleneck. This simple wooden plaque not only represents honor to the entire Mo family, but also a signal, that is, the royal family Having chosen the Mo family among all the imperial merchants of the empire, the real prosperity of the Mo family is about to begin.

The next thing is today's highlight. As the leaders of this Odin elite team, what kind of rewards An Yu and Gu Yan will receive is very worth looking forward to.

The middle-aged man looked at the two young men in front of him, and then took one of the inlaid gems from his staff.Then he handed the treasure representing Odin's authority to An Yu.

There was silence, no one knew what Emperor Odin meant, An Yu didn't take it, her face was a little pale.

An Yu had read a lot of ancient books in her previous life. Even if she was not an emperor, she probably had read such cases where a courtier accepted rights that he should not have, and he would eventually die because he could not bear the burden.

The middle-aged man looked at An Yu and Gu Yan, and then smiled as if he understood something, "Young man, you think a lot. This bead is not exclusive to those in power." He said and looked at Lu Resolute direction.

A light flashed in the prince's hand, and an almost identical bead appeared in his hand.

"As you can see, this magic bead represents the Odin royal family, and now I bestow upon you and Gu Yan the identity of the Odin royal family, and the fiefdoms are all over the Anjia border.

This is no longer a reward, but a kind of wooing, granting the status of the royal family and granting the fiefdom, which means that Odin's highest ruler has seen the powerful energy of these two young people.

An Yu put her hand on her chest, then respectfully took the bead from the emperor's hand, and then expressed her gratitude. Undoubtedly, An Yu's mood is a bit complicated now.

Is the An family who swept himself and Gu Yan out more than ten years ago his own?own fiefdom.

After the rewards were awarded, the teams dispersed under the leadership of the little prince and returned to their families to report the good news. However, An Yu and Gu Yan were left behind by the emperor when they were about to leave.

Soon there were only three people in the hall. The middle-aged man lost his smile and became the god of Odin again. He took out a stack of documents from the space and handed them to An Yu.

"I hope you can take a look at these, and then tomorrow, or if you figure it out, tell me your decision."

Inexplicably, An Yu felt a kind of determination and firmness from the king's words.

"Go." The middle-aged man turned around and walked towards his throne.The back view actually reveals a little tiredness.

An Yu and Gu Yan quietly left the hall,

It was winter again for Odin, and snowflakes fell on the two of them one after another. An Yu didn't care, walking silently on the road as if thinking about something all the time.

Gu Yan suddenly put his hand into An Yu's sleeve and grabbed An Yu's hand.People around looked over curiously, but none of them looked maliciously.It was pure curiosity, and An Yu didn't intend to break free.

The two kept holding each other like this, Gu Yan's hand was very warm, and An Yu enjoyed the current feeling.The two walked into Odin's campus in a tacit silence.

Suddenly An Yu spoke, "A Yan, how much do you think the crown weighs?"

An Yu didn't ask about the latter words, but Gu Yan knew that what An Yu wanted to ask was why that small crown could almost crush such a great person.

"I don't know either...but it's probably...terribly heavy." Gu Yan couldn't give an answer to this question about An Yu.

They returned to the state of silence again, and the two returned to the dormitory when they were studying in the outer courtyard. The small courtyard at the door was already full of plants.

The last time I was here was to participate in the intensive training in the temple, and now the herbs here have been mixed with the weeds from that time, occupying the entire small courtyard.

After opening a path into the dormitory, An Yu walked into the kitchen and started cleaning, clearing a small space to prepare today's dinner, while Gu Yan went into the study to clean up. After dinner, he and An Yu asked After reading those materials, it is estimated that it will take all night.

After finishing the dinner for the two hastily, when Gu Yan put away the bowls and chopsticks, An Yu had already taken out the information and read it. She only turned about three pages, but her brows were already furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yan picked up the documents that An Yu put beside him and asked.

"Look at it for yourself, especially the one that the country handed over to the temple." An Yu continued flipping through the information in his hand, and now he finally understood why the monarch of such a powerful empire would appear so lonely.

Gu Yan flipped through the pages, and he understood the reason for An Yu's frown on the first page. It recorded a large amount of money, which was equivalent to half a year's income of Odin.

And this money is not used for national construction, but directly turned over to the temple.

What follows is how Odin used the remaining money to promote the development of the entire country. Odin split all the money in half and spent every large expenditure with the emperor's autograph.

Why is Odin's border chaotic, but has been forbearing and not going to crusade, because money is needed, and the war will consume the money that Odin needs most.

The emperor used only half of the money to maintain the operation of the entire country, and also allowed Odin to continue to develop, which is not great.

But when An Yu flipped through the most recent information, her movements froze.

What he was holding in his hand was a copy of the contract, without a signature, the sender was the temple, and the column signed by Emperor Odin was blank. The requirements of the letter were as follows:

I am the god of the temple, and the recent rapid development of Odin has made the temple deeply disturbed, so it was decided that Odin would be required to reduce the annual income ratio to three-quarters.If you wish to continue to receive Odin's protection, please sign.

It's not a negotiation, but an order. This is the pressure on Odin from the temple, and this pressure is about to exceed the limit that Odin can bear.

An Yu looked at the document in his hand, and could feel the humiliation just by looking at it. Odin had already endured the limit of the temple, but even if he wanted to resist, it was useless.

The temple is too powerful, its power has been accumulated since the end of the day, and his exploitation of the four kingdoms also started a long time ago.

An Yu learned about the thousand-year history of this continent, and the day when the first document was signed was when the four countries established their hegemony.

It can be said that Odin, or the entire continent, all his rules that can be controlled by humans are stipulated by the temple.The temple is like a gigantic mountain, pressing down on all those under his rule.

But now it has changed. Odin seems to be no longer needed by the temple. If it is said that half of the charge is Odin to restrict the development of countries, but if only a quarter is left for a country, it means only one thing. thing…

Odin was abandoned, perhaps because Odin's powerful trend was too eye-catching, or simply because the temple wanted to change the pattern on the mainland, but the final result will not change. Odin's century-old foundation may soon be over. facing the crisis of destruction.

A quarter of the country's income is too little, and it is impossible to maintain a country's normal expenditure. Once this contract is signed, Odin's demise will become inevitable, no matter how powerful he looks now.

But when An Yu and Gu Yan were in a heavy mood, a strange thing happened in the prince's mansion. Lu Yiran looked at the visitor in front of him who had been following him home, and asked silently while holding his forehead, " What the hell are you doing here?"

This is obviously his mansion, and he has to deal with a lot of things every day and he is already very busy, but this visitor who forcibly followed him back made him restless, he looked up at the person who had been sitting in his office.

Gu Jinran looked innocently at the little prince who was about to get angry, then shrugged and said with a smile, "That can't be helped, it's my first time here, I don't have a place to live, as the host, don't you want to entertain me?" for a while?"

Do you know that this is the imperial capital, there are many, many hotels, inns, and restaurants, if not, An Yu's team, you can just find one to live in, can't you? ! "

"Those people are not very familiar..."

"Are you familiar with me?!" Lu Yiran felt that he couldn't understand the thoughts of this young man from the border. An Yu told him in his letter that the city was very deep and he could endure it, but the problem came , such a rich man, why would he pretend to be pitiful when he went out without money! !

The palace is destined to be noisy all night, and then back to An Yu's side, Gu Yan and An Yu chatted about these materials all night. If Odin is destroyed, then all the people who survived depending on the country will be killed. Becoming a prisoner, with dead lips and cold teeth, no one wants such a thing to happen, and the only solution is to replace it.

In the early morning, An Yu finished sorting out the materials, and then set foot on the journey to the palace with Gu Yan again. This time they made a decision that would change their fate.
