  Chapter 484 Imperial Capital Structure (23)

   "You are really welcome."

  In his room, after activating the sound-proof inscription, Isengard took out rolls of materials and joked, "The fairy lady outside obviously doesn't know your specific situation, but she is still willing to accompany you on the adventure."

And Ian leaned against the door, folded his hands on his chest, and nodded slightly: "The word adventure may be too much. In my opinion, it can only be regarded as a slightly turbulent travel, and I'm not sure what is popular. I'm still cooking."

"Did you kill Baron Ryan during your tour, and crushed the head of the deputy section chief of the Institute of the Intellect? I guess the death of the magneto-optical knight is not normal. It must not be what you said outside the door. friend of mine."

  The blond boy handed the information in his hand to Ian, and he asked curiously: "How is your cooking skill? I haven't eaten your cooking yet."

   "You'll know when we go out together next time. Don't expect too much. The dishes made by the chef in the imperial capital are probably better than mine."

Ian picked up the information, and he didn't find it strange. Of course, Isengard could guess that it was Baron Leanne and others who killed him. After all, the other party saw himself and Patrick fighting head-on without losing the wind. The young master may not be able to understand the gold content of this point, but for Isengard who has begun to "open his eyes to see the world" in a real sense, he can know the horror of Ian.

  As for why the outside world said that, of course it was to prevent Miss Goblin from accidentally revealing it.

  In short, knowing this, Ethan listened to Ian's experience along the way, and naturally understood how much Ian killed and how much danger he experienced.

"what."

  Looking at the information in his hand, Ian suddenly let out a light snort.

  He raised his head and looked at Yi Sen: "The emperor really doesn't care about anything? He hasn't been in court for five years, right?"

   "Fei Yandi only had a few meetings that time. Except for the policies, why are the eldest prince, the eldest princess and the second prince doing all the other things?"

"indeed so."

   Ethan nodded slightly: "Uncle Carlos, Aunt Alegria, and Uncle Mikael are the main royal family members who have presided over the affairs of the imperial capital over the years."

   "I forgot, these people are your relatives, no wonder you know such details."

   Hearing these titles, Ian was stunned. He almost forgot all of a sudden that Isengard was actually a relative of the emperor.

   But this is more convenient, he said with interest: "What are these people responsible for? Oh, I saw it, it is written in the information."

"Um."

Isengard nodded slightly. He came to Ian's side and extended his hand to introduce the young man: "Uncle Carlos is the eldest prince. He has a gentle temper and can coordinate with the ministers and nobles of all parties. He is very popular. In this way, he has attracted the attention of all parties, and he has to be cautious in every move he makes on weekdays."

   "He is in full charge of Jinghaiwei in the imperial capital, and a considerable number of knights in the Patrol Knights will follow his orders."

"No matter how much, I can't tell. Although my uncle looks very upright, in fact, there is too much information, even I can't find it... He is like a tree. The upper root system has already covered all the land you know."

  The portrait that Yi Sen pointed to was a man with long platinum hair and a dignified face. He was wearing a long robe, smiling, and his dark blue eyes were as deep as the sea.

  After that, he pointed to the portrait of another woman. In terms of appearance alone, the woman in the portrait was as pure as an angel, with long light golden hair fluttering in the wind, and a beautiful figure with elegant temperament.

   But if you look at the eyes, those blue inner and outer golden eyes reveal an ambition to control the entire era.

  If the first prince feels like a quiet sea, deep and calm, then the first princess feels like a tsunami, and that kind of majesty and self-confidence are almost as if they are about to show through the paper.

   "What does Aunt Alegria say... She is not in the imperial capital all the year round, but is stationed in the Dark Mountain Fortress around Wusha Port... and all other frontier military regions. She travels around all the year round."

   "She is the leader of the hawk faction in the absolute sense. She has stated more than once that she wants to erase Junling Fort from history. If the royal court of heaven dares to harass the eastern fortress, she will dare to attack the mobile fortress of the royal court."

   "The problem is that this is not a slogan. Auntie has really gone to attack the mobile fortress. Recently, she has been observing the movement of Flame Land in the Great Desert. The soldiers all regard her as the Valkyrie who brought victory."

Speaking of this, Isengard was a little emotional: "I still remember that my aunt was very kind to me when I was young. The aunt in my memory is a cheerful and optimistic beauty who smiles like an angel every day... who knows that she came to see me several times Did you actually just finish a victorious battle?"

   "I feel that, for her, liking juniors and liking killing and fighting are not in conflict."

  Ian narrowed his eyes, and he commented: "But in this way, isn't the military and political affairs all taken over? What kind of right does the second prince occupy, so that he can stand against these two?"

   "Second uncle?"

Isengard laughed, he shook his head slightly and said, "Second Uncle has no right, he doesn't really value this - Uncle Mikael is a very calm person, his favorite thing is to lie on the warm grass Watching the clouds, and eating the biscuits I made myself."

   He turned the page for Ian.

  The man in the portrait is wearing armor and looks quite young, in his twenties. Of course, a sublime person cannot determine his age based on his appearance. The second prince is at least forty years old, but there is nothing false about that relaxed temperament and youthful demeanor.

  The blond knight has sword-like eyebrows and is handsome, but generally speaking, he looks a bit ordinary.

  How to put it, Isengard's appearance is definitely not inferior to him when he grows up, but he is definitely more distinctive than him.

"This guy…"

  But Ian frowned slightly, and he showed a vigilant expression: "You can tell that there are many secrets hidden at a glance. It's still the kind of earth-shattering big secret!"

   This is a kind of resonance among the same kind, and Ian can feel the danger just by looking at it.

   "Yeah, I think so too."

  The blond boy laughed, but he shook his head and said: "However, this secret should not be the kind of secret we think. As for why Uncle Mikael can be named with the first two..."

   "Just because he is very strong. Strong enough to be considered to be able to advance to the fifth energy level within ten years."

   "So power is coming towards him."

   makes sense.

  Ian nodded silently.

  A new generation of fifth energy level? Regardless of potions and formulas, at least the second prince already has the basic conditions to carry the power of the fifth energy level. In the continent of Terra, this is more important than the support of ministers and nobles, and the approval and approval of the military. more real.

  On Earth, the emperor's power comes from the system, the approval of the officials and the people. It is not the approval of the people in the modern sense, but the concept of "Son of Heaven" in the feudal era, the right granted by God.

The system endowed him with the sanctity of the heavenly gift, which can make people, the officials negotiate with him, and determine the specific implementation method. The entire bureaucratic system is such a tool to transmit the power of words to the four directions, and the emperor has no way to completely deny it. Let yourself become the emperor's system, and the struggle around the system and the right to speak was the core of the struggle in that era.

   But it's different on Terra.

  Because, the powerhouse of the fifth energy level is here. It's true, like the second sun in the sky, if you want to close your eyes and deny it, you can't deny anything except to prove yourself ridiculous.

  In Terra, most of the emperor's sanctity comes from power.

  The powerhouse of the fifth energy level, if he just wants to be the emperor, does not need any support at all, does not need any power, does not need any conspiracy, and does not need any political struggle.

  Even if there is only one person without any land or people, as long as he declares himself to be, other forces will recognize him as being.

  Terra's political system is completely different from that of Earth... No, anyone who thinks that there is a world with supernatural power, whose system is the same as that of the ordinary world, must have a problem with his head.

  Because these sublimated beings, biologically speaking, I am afraid that they cannot be called human beings. They just have a human shell. Talking to them about human rules is no different from talking to aliens about the ethics of the earth.

   Ian stared at the information in front of him, and he understood a little.

  —When the second prince really becomes the fifth energy level, he will become the next emperor.

  So the second prince didn't make any big moves, but gradually gathered some wings, sheltered some geniuses like himself, and had a basic control over all parts of the empire.

   Others, in addition to improving their own strength as soon as possible, also need to grasp the power as much as possible, so as to gain a little advantage in other aspects.
