I've run out of money to protect Arad

Chapter 421

Anyone who has played the Persona series knows that when each protagonist faces his own Shadow (shadow) and watches the shadow speak out the dark true thoughts of the protagonist, he will always be unintentional. It is similar to saying such "forbidden sentences":
"How could someone like you be me!"

Or "Someone like you wouldn't be my mouth!"

But as soon as you say something like this, the shadow will increase in momentum and strength, and laugh and say: "Hahahahaha, that's right, I am no longer you, I am me, a different will-o'-the-wisp …”

Sorry to get off the stage.

Then after a big battle—of course, the result must be that the shadow is no match for the original version, and the protagonist of the plot finally realizes that the shadow is also a part of himself, and he will generously admit that the shadow is himself.

That is to say, you are me and I am you.

In this way, the protagonist of the plot can gain the ability to summon [Persona] and thus have combat capabilities.

This time, being hit by the dynamic light wave produced by Bingxin Prison, the shadow produced is actually the shadow in the Persona series, and it is more pure than that series-after all, it is a villain BOSS, and the style is not low.

Even so, this shadow formed purely by the deepest fear in the soul must follow this routine, and the villain must also follow the basic laws!
However, Yingying never expected that Brother Chao would admit that Yingying was himself as soon as he came up.

Young man, you don't play your cards according to the routine!

So, the shadow could only watch in despair as his body gradually blurred, and finally turned into an Arcana card, which slowly fell from the air into Brother Chao's hand.

The decision of a suspected final battle came to an end in such a dramatic form.

Brother Chao looked at the No. 0 [The Fool] Tarot card in his hand, curled his lips, "It's an old trick, it's not new."

Because he already had this card.

Until this moment, everyone was really relieved.

As Cheng Lingsu threw herself into Duan Chao's arms with red eyes, a turmoil that might have caused the Delos Empire and even the entire Arad continent had ended just as it started.

According to the "Arad Chronicle" and "The Memorabilia of the Delos Empire":
[In July 1014 in the Arad calendar, a group of traditional nobles of the Delos Empire conspired to hold Queen Isabella hostage in order to protect their own interests in the economic reform, in an attempt to force her to conclude a treaty with the aristocracy, but they were strongly rejected 】

[The news was leaked the day after the incident occurred.The people of Veltalon, adventurers, and royalist soldiers reacted quickly, blocking the channels for the nobles to ask for help, and preventing the incident from turning into a civil war throughout the empire. 】

[The Royal Fencing Academy, which supported reform, then became the core force of the Royalists and took over the command. 】

[The July Incident ended with the victory of the royalists. Queen Isabella did not purge these nobles during her reign. Instead, she strengthened centralization of power to make her decrees pass and lay a solid foundation for the empire to prosper again. Base. 】

That's right, in later official documents, this event was collectively called the July Incident.

But in all the official documents, there is no mention of Duan Chao and his harem group who are the biggest contributors to this incident.

This has also aroused the speculation of countless posterity. Obviously many people know that this incident can be said to be led by the two personal guards of the queen, Kaili and Cheng Lingsu, from the beginning to the end.

Even the Royal Fencing Academy, the core force of the royalists mentioned in the history books, was contacted by Kelly alone, not to mention that at the last moment, Duan Chao turned the tide by himself and saved the Empire State Building from being overthrown.

But why didn't he have his name?

Not to mention Duan Chao, even Kaili, Cheng Lingsu, and Azera did not appear, and their names were all replaced by the title of "adventurer".

In addition, after this battle, Duan Chao left the empire with his harem group, so all kinds of speculations flooded the sky, and most of them were negative:

Like the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked; they didn't actually leave, but were secretly imprisoned by Her Majesty the Queen; they are afraid that Duan Chaogong is so powerful that he has been arranged - after all, Delos The emperor of the Perus Empire, the predecessor of the empire, did such a thing. Isn’t Kazan and Ozma like this?However, this Her Majesty the Empress is obviously smarter than her predecessors, and her actions are more subtle.

But among all these speculations, there is one that is ignored at all, mainly because it is too nonsense-the queen and the adventurer had a forbidden love, for the prosperity of the empire, and for the two people to last forever, so They can only reluctantly part with each other, dilute Duan Chao's influence in the empire, and prevent their affairs from being discovered.

This kind of speech just has no market, and even the Queen's enemies don't bother to use this to attack her.

Because this is really unbelievable.

Although Isabella had an affair with the adventurer named Duan Chao when she went to the Demon World at the age of 20, she was still the third princess of the empire at that time. Although her status was also very noble, she even She is not the heir to the throne, and it is harmless for her to spread such scandals.

Even this kind of rumor can create an image of the royal family being close to the people. After all, it can have an affair with the most famous adventurer in the entire Arad continent. On the other hand, it also shows that Her Majesty is approachable and gentle, isn't it?
But then was then, and now is now.

For eight years, times have changed.

The former third imperial daughter of the empire has already become the empress of the empire, the most powerful national leader in the entire continent, how could she have such a relationship with an adventurer?
Even novels dare not write like this!

It's so unreasonable!

Because of this, this kind of speech is like a spray in the waves, which disappears as soon as it appears.

However, there is a good saying that art comes from life.

Reality is often more bizarre than fiction, because fiction also needs to consider rationality, but reality does not need to, if it happens, it happens.

This most outrageous guess is precisely the truth.

Even this kind of remarks were released by Duan Chao, the party concerned.

……

……

"You bastard!"

Delos Empire, Veltalon, Heron Palace.

Empress Isabella of the Empire leaned on the bed with a flushed face and said, but seeing her winking eyes like silk, exhalation like blue, and her whole body lazy, there is no trace of her usual heroic, resolute and decisive image.

"What's wrong with me?"

Duan Chao, who was sitting by the bed and smoking a cigarette, turned around and asked puzzledly.

"Everywhere is bad!"

Because of the pain, Isabella frowned and said so.
