High Above Chapter 626

Chapter 626 The road to the future at the end of the volume

For the people of the imperial capital living in the lower city and the middle city, ordinary people will have shortness of breath even when they are close, and the dizzy upper city is an unattainable forbidden place.

Only sublimators, those truly big figures, can walk freely in the area completely surrounded by the force field of the imperial capital.

As everyone knows, above the Upper City, there is still the Upper City.

Above the upper city, where even the visions of fourth-level powerhouses can be suppressed, there is a steep and lonely mountain. The force field generated by steel and unknown biological structures forms a crater-like structure. The force field shield shot straight into the sky from here, protecting the entire Central Great Plains centered on the imperial capital.

And just around the mouth of the force field, a huge rock and iron palace stands on the edge, but in terms of appearance, it is not so much a palace as a high platform.

From this high platform, you can overlook the entire central plain, and behind it is the imperial force field beam that goes straight into the void.

If that majesty hadn't disappeared to carry out his unknown and mysterious plan, he would have stayed here most of the time. The palace in the upper city was just an office, and he had never stayed there for a long time.

He even hated that too-similar palace.

Mikhail walked up to the high platform step by step. The material of the high platform was neither metal nor rock. It possessed certain biological characteristics, but it was as hard as steel. Its surface was covered with a layer of flowing luminous liquid, and its color was pure white. , without a trace of impurities.

Although the light liquid covering the high platform seems to be one, it is actually composed of countless independent light bands, which are constantly crisscrossing and wriggling up and down, as if they are building some extremely complicated model, and in the center of each light band is a person who looks like a human being. The pupil-like ball of light turned and stared in the direction of Mikael.

In the center of the light liquid, on the top of the platform, stood a tall and burly figure staring at the sky alone.

The second sun hanging in the sky, the one who sits on the top of the blazing light, the emperor of the Central Empire, Axel the keeper.

And...the son of the black tyrant, the heir to Inaiga II's greatest legacy, and the tyrant of the Yi tribe.

Mikael stared at the back of his father. He knew very well that compared to his grandfather's name as a tyrant, his father was the real murderous tyrant.

Grandfather's life, even against the biggest opponent and rebel, was nothing more than killing himself and exiling the family. The old Grand Duke Sorin intended to rebel, but he was only killing the first offender, and even accepted this generation of Grand Duke Sorin. Leete as a disciple, and promised him that 'if this country dissatisfies you, you can choose the road of independence again'.

As for his own father, even if he does not count the brothers and sisters who were beheaded before and after the succession, just those aristocratic families that were eliminated after the succession, the number of self-righteous people who thought they could get more benefits from the new emperor was dozens of times greater than that of his father. grandfather.

The only difference is that the father corrected the weakness of the grandfather's soft-heartedness. If he wants to kill, he will kill them all, and will never leave even a single remnant.

In this way, no one will reiterate his father's cruelty many years later, and all the eliminated nobles will be forgotten, leaving only a simple stroke in the history books.

As for the heirs of the inheritance, this is the case. The laws and regulations of the empire seem to have been improved a lot, but in fact, they are not much different from their grandfather's time, and at most they have some Axel characteristics.

This is the key to the gradual prosperity of the empire again.

Axel didn't pay attention to the person behind him. A large piece of cloud-like golden-white light particles flowed on his side. These light particles rotated, danced, and then condensed into human figures one after another. The human figures were translucent With a humble attitude, he bowed humbly to his father, and reported information on many events.

Among them, there was a figure Mikael was very familiar with, and that was Moze, the dean of the Academy of Gnosis.

"So, is it theoretically possible?" Mikael heard his father say this.

【Yes, Your Majesty. ] Dean Moze bowed, and he replied seriously: [But the people of the empire need an enemy, so that they can be united as one, just a flying flame is not enough at all]

[The empire has never been unified in essence. There are too many different races and regional customs within us. Neither culture nor nation can become a bridge of unity. Except for the same emperor and everyone looking up at the same sun, we never a whole

Dean Moze said some words that Mikhail couldn't understand. He knew that the second prince was beside him, but he said without hesitation: [We need a more distinct, more three-dimensional, and stronger enemy... Otherwise, we will Unable to reach consensus]

"Is it really difficult for a living person? No wonder Splitter insists on letting people die." The emperor whispered, he raised his hand, and motioned for Mikael to sit aside: "Natural disasters should be fine. All spirits The one that the temple prophesied."

The emperor's voice was weak, with a little fatigue: "Or should we add the Heavenly Royal Court? Two-front combat is not impossible."

【No, Your Majesty】

Dean Mo Ze shook his head and said: [Those who hate Feiyandi and Heavenly Royal Court are not a group of people, they cannot reach a consensus. On the contrary, the disaster of light predicted by the Hall of Souls has potential, but it is a disaster for everyone in the entire continent, and the people of the empire cannot feel that they are special]

【Not special, they can't muster courage】

"...Compared to technology, people themselves are the most troublesome. How can we teach this group of foolish people the principle of unity?"

The tall man's tone paused, and he waved his hand: "Stand back."

【Yes, Your Majesty】

The hazy translucent figure made of light particles dissipated, and the emperor turned his head to look at Mikhail.

"Good afternoon, Father," said Mikael.

"Be direct." The emperor said, "I never taught you to be polite to me."

"Why sit back and watch Split succeed." Mikael said: "Or is this still part of your plan?"

"He didn't run to a place I don't know." The emperor said in a flat tone, he raised his head, turned back and continued to stare at the beam of light, the deepest part of his golden pupils flashed a white glare: "It will take less than two minutes to go to the center of the earth. "

"Just as if you were prepared." Mikael said in his heart. Sure enough, he continued to ask: "My brother didn't repair the atmosphere at all. The head of the guard did it for him. What did you send him to do?"

"A boring question." The emperor said: "Terra's atmosphere still needs us to repair it? The four-story sky ladder is not broken, and it can be regenerated if you completely lift the atmosphere. Carlos has gone to Dragon Island."

"You were not there just now, otherwise you would have to go to the Holy Mountain, and Shuangji went instead of you."

"What exactly are you going to do?" Mikael couldn't understand. He just didn't know what his father was going to do these days, so he came to ask directly.

Axel is his father after all, and he does answer that question.

The tall man moved his eyes away from the light beam of the imperial force field shield, and only then did he really turn his head and look at his son seriously.

"Mikael."

Emperor said: "Fudo City has appeared again."

Mikael's eyes widened.

But before he could say anything, Axel looked away again.

At this moment, the emperor overlooked the lower city of the imperial capital under the high platform and the vast plain in the distance. His tone was calm: "Split has seen Hilliard's successor. That is a young knight, probably the capital of learning." , or the people of gold in the western border."

"He calls himself Glen, and his name is Mahdi. His sword is Hilliard's, but it is no longer a sword embryo, but a real sword... He probably already has the strength of the third energy level. Well, generally speaking, he is almost as talented as Mr. Hilliard back then."

"Mahdi?" There was so much information that Mikael didn't know what to say for a while: "How could I not have discovered...the name..."

"Of course it is a fake name. Even other things may be fake, but the strength is not." The emperor shook his head.

He sighed: "It's time for an alternation. Those who experienced the turmoil of the dark moon are almost dead, but their successors appear one after another. It is another turbulent era."

"Ask about my purpose? My purpose has always been simple. In other words, on this land, people who still have ambitions and dreams have the same purpose."

"I want to change the world."

"Who wouldn't?"

Mikhail wanted to laugh a little. This answer cannot be said to be insincere, but it is the same as not saying: "Because of this, none of you can change the world."

"yes."

The emperor did not evade this point: "When you become an emperor, you will know how unfree you are. There is no difference between a sublimated person and an ordinary person, even the top seat of the fifth energy level."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then waved: "Let's step down, there will be a big meeting to be held later. I will continue to work."

Mikael withdrew.

When he came here this time, what he really wanted to ask was why he allowed Grand Duke Sorin to advance to the fifth energy level. He had already determined that Grand Duke Sorin had mastered a special method of advancement long after the Avak incident , informed Axel.

But after hearing what Minister Moser said, he understood that there would be no answer to this question.

Because my father just wanted to create an opponent.

Flying Flame Land and Heavenly Royal Court are not enough, let alone a mere Grand Duke Sorin?

He doesn't care about these boring little things at all.

"The fifth energy level is all nuts."

Walking down from the high platform, Mikael slowly walked back to the upper city.

Axel almost never hides his actions from his children, that is, himself and others, but no one can understand what he is going to do.

For example, taking advantage of the momentum of Grand Duke Sorin's advancement to the fifth energy level, all the leaders and main members of the empire's major mountain forces were called to the imperial capital... This is not a way of working together at all. These guys gather together, Even if they obey Axel's authority on the surface, they will never really join forces.

Mikael did not understand this. Separating these sublimated people is a way to ensure order. Otherwise, these strong-willed, stubborn, and truly powerful guys can cause as much trouble as they want.

A group of guys who have different opinions and cannot be persuaded by words are themselves the source of turmoil.

They stay in the imperial capital for a few days, and the imperial capital will fall into chaos for a few days. Mikael can already imagine the chaos in the upper city of the imperial capital for a while-only the people of Governor Baiji and the Duke of the East will fight openly and secretly to get their brains out. Not to mention the years of entanglement in the northwest.

They themselves will not do anything, but their heirs, the forces under their command, will start street duels again, suppress each other, and use their political power to attack the enemy.

Damn quagmire, this group of people are good at fighting in the mud, just thinking about it makes my brain hurt.

Mikael couldn't help but think of Ian again at this moment. That kid ran really fast. He probably wanted to leave when he saw the nobles and big figures from all walks of life, Qihui Imperial Capital, right? He must have guessed how troublesome it would be if there were so many big figures in the imperial capital. With his genius, if several nobles from different forces went to the banquet, which one should he go to? Who do you want to offend for no reason?

Self-righteous smart people think that they can have both sides, and the real smart people have already run away.

Really is the right choice.

If Mikhail is not the second prince, and he has a goal that cannot be avoided if he wants to achieve it, he also wants to run away.

"At the end of the day."

Close your eyes, the blond prince smiled wryly: "I'm not suitable for standing on the top of a mountain."

Regardless of what Mikael thinks, time is ticking and things are developing.

The Imperial Capital Conference took place on October 8, 773. All the participants thought that the focus was on how to deal with Grand Duke Sorin's advancement to the fifth energy level, and how to deal with the core area of the Grand Duke's territory that has become foggy. I think this topic was just a few words in a hurry at the beginning, and then no one brought it up again.

With the official full-scale confrontation between the empire and Feiyandi, and the fact that King Tianhong was forced to accept the sanctions of the four orthodox religions, and he was restricted from participating in the war in Tianhongdi, the empire gained a considerable advantage in terms of public opinion and strength. According to this At this point, under the guidance of Emperor Axel, all the nobles of the empire will work together to support the Southwest Military Region and cooperate with the next major operation in the direction of the Flame Land.

In this regard, many nobles were confused, so they thought that the ambitious emperor wanted to open two fronts and face the two bloodlines of Nemathus and Absalom at the same time. This guess is not wrong, but the facts will definitely be beyond their expectations.

The appearance of Canaan Moor's special envoy brought the meeting to a climax.

【The Setar Empire and the Canaan Moore Federation will form a strategic alliance, respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will reach more than twelve strategic cooperation projects】

[The first one is that the sublimators of both sides join hands to open a mouth on the Faft Mountains, so that the sea breeze from the Southern Ocean of Eternity can pass directly to the wilderness in the southeast of the empire. Residential area, open up a land trade route leading directly to Canaan Moore]

This is the largest terraforming project on Terra since the 1960s.

In addition, on the first day of the Great Conference, Emperor Axel of the Empire also determined the strategy for the development of the empire during the war against Flamingo.

The meeting passed a proposal to reorganize the Aerospace Forces with aerospace armor as the mainstay and mobile fortresses as the supplement. From then on, the Setar Aerospace Forces will be independent of the Imperial Ministry of Defense, and the commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces will be concurrently held by the Emperor. At the same time, the low-altitude flight modification of part of the army's armor was confirmed. The army is not just a simple land army, but a comprehensive and comprehensive armored force.

There are still six days left in the big meeting room, but the news on the first day alone has shocked the imperial capital and even the entire empire. In particular, the strategic alliance between the empire and the Canaan Moore Federation surprised allies.

at the same time.

Mountain.

Downtown area.

The white-haired boy did not take the alchemy train or a car, but rode an ordinary white horse, humming a little tune, and walked in the sunset and wind.

Naturally, the convoy of supplies loaded with armor and food, as well as the hired manpower, could not be ready within two days. The Platinum Iridium Workshop took care of these things. Nearly 50 skilled craftsmen and a convoy equipped with various construction tools will be in the Ian arrived in Nauman City within a week or two of arriving at South Ridge.

Hua An and Shuangdie went through the channel of Fairy Township. After all, if Fairies want to go all out, they should not go too fast, which is not in line with Ian's purpose. Change, so go separately.

According to the channels of Platinum Iridium Workshop, the current situation in Nanling is not good. Although the main pressure of Feiyan Land is in the west, there is no fortress in Nanling. As long as the enemy is willing to pay the price, they will definitely be able to kill people Send it to Nanling.

They encouraged many natives and mountain people to rebel against the rule of the empire. Although the trade nodes centered on Nauman City, Three Rivers City, and Harrison Port were not disturbed, the large autonomous regions in the west of Nanling had fallen into chaos.

And there is obviously a problem with the Dragon Worship Cult. Since the King of the Mountain took Xiou away, Ian has not received any news from the South Ridge Dragon Worship Cult including Elder Man Ya so far—either they met It's a big trouble, or it's too much trouble and too busy to communicate with the outside world.

In general, I am afraid that Ian will not be able to get the help of Dragon Worshiper so quickly.

But these are small things.

Although it sounds cruel to say it, the more chaotic Nanling is, the more room Ian has to play.

If everyone lives happily, with no enemies and no turmoil, then who can change the world, and who will change the world?

What's more, if there is no chaos, how can he hide his actions?

It's like when the imperial capital was in chaos, no one cared about a mere white alchemist leaving this ancient city.

The sound of the rumbling train sounded, and the bright headlights came on from a distance, and then they came quickly, and fell behind the young man.

There, the fortified city, towering as a mountain, was still shrouded in light, as if burning. In the largest country in the Terra Continent, almost all the noble leaders have come here, and the curtain of the era is slowly opening here.

But this is not his stage.

The boy is about to go to his stage.

Now is the sunset, then the night, but the dawn will come eventually.

Ian is in the dark now, but he is looking forward to the moment when the morning light shines.

The moonlight has begun to slowly light up at the other end of the sky, and a few inconspicuous stars appear in the half-white night.

—The Prisoner Star Prison imprisoned the sky and the galaxy, making the distance a boundary and the unknown a limit.

—But that's not to despair.

Lifting his head, looking up at the dark sky above, Ian was no longer afraid.

The boy showed a smile: "At least I already know the problem, I already know what took away the stars."

—The next thing to do is to solve it.

Thinking so, Ian drove the horse and sang a light tune softly: "Ride my horse and gallop on the old roads of this old city~"

“Never give up until exhausted~”

As night falls, the cool autumn night wind blows, making the long grass on both sides of the road sway endlessly.

Clouds covered the moonlight, and the figure of Bai Zhimin boy disappeared into the darkness.

But still can clearly hear the hoofbeats, all the way forward.

He is still moving forward, walking in the dark, the only way he has to go.

He's Ian.

Breaking the old world, recasting the new world, and going to the sky above.

He wants to ride his horse and gallop straight into the future.

Never give up even when you are exhausted.
