In the Name of the Queen

The two convoys left Hansa City one after another and drove in different directions.

One of the convoys escorted Angelina and precious books back to the country.

In response to Sophia's gift, Roland was generous for once.

He gave all the books that Angelina took the initiative to name; he also gave books that were not named.

He also solemnly stated that this was a gift for all Rurik people and they were not allowed to keep it privately.

Angelina was naturally overjoyed and quickly agreed.

She thought it was a gift for the royal family, but she didn't expect it to be spread.

She didn't know that Roland was a [Inheritor] and that he could grow by spreading knowledge. The wider the spread, the faster Roland grew.

She instinctively thought that Roland wanted to ease the relationship between the two countries in this way and leave a way out.

It was reasonable to think so.

After all, no one thought that Roland and Sif could beat Sophia.

The weakened version of the ring with only one-tenth of the power almost took Roland's life, let alone Sophia, whose strength was still awakening.

It was reasonable for Roland to want to leave a way out for himself.

Angelina had good food and drink during her house arrest, but she suffered a lot in the hospital at the end. Fortunately, the doctor announced the end of treatment before killing her.

In short, the experience of being captured was not too bad.

The unpleasant memories were also covered by the joy of gaining new knowledge.

In addition, Lisa's perfect cooking skills made Angelina more willing to treat this capture as a special trip.

The books filled ten carriages made her feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Maybe the queen would forgive her for these books? Angelina prayed silently.

Queen Sylph attended the banquet before leaving in person.

Seeing Sylph, Angelina felt more regretful.

A young girl like Sylph who could match or even surpass Sophia in feminine charm, even she envied her.

She was a little impulsive and even wanted to persuade Sylph to bow to Sophia.

But after seeing Sylph's deep eyes, she chose to remain silent.

She couldn't persuade Sylph to yield, just like she couldn't persuade Sophia to bow her head.

They were the same kind of people.

They were different. If they were birds, they would soar in the highest sky.

Unfortunately, the earth is not the sky after all, and it can't accommodate two emperors.

The dinner ended in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere.

Angelina praised Lisa's cooking skills and gave her a full score.

She praised Sylph's wisdom and courage, but did not praise her beauty. After all, any praise for her appearance is just a statement, not an exclamation.

Only when facing Roland did she utter only one word.

"Thank you."

Roland said goodbye to her and turned around quickly, fearing that he couldn't hold back his laughter.

In fact, he should have said thank you.

If Angelina knew that those books were important props to turn Sophia over, she might have burned them all in anger.

Angelina left.

She came with a dead heart, and left with a full load.

The day after she left, another larger convoy left Hansa City and headed north, heading for Suwig Province.

This is the newest province of the empire and Roland's fiefdom.

This is the starting point of the imperial tour and the starting point of Roland's journey to spread knowledge.

This is the first imperial tour since the empress ascended the throne. Although she repeatedly asked to control the scale, the number of people in the team still exceeded the standard.

First of all, there is a security team composed of 300 elite guards and 200 White Rose Knights.

The safety of the empress cannot be played with at all.

Although the imperial tour is all in the homeland, it also needs a guard.

If someone assassinates the empress, no matter what the result, the face of the empire will be lost.

In short, the safety of the empress and the dignity of the royal family must be guaranteed.

Choosing Suwig Province as the first stop is also the result of careful consideration.

This is the latest territory expanded by the empire, and one-third of the population in the territory comes from the former Kingdom of Oden.

According to the agreement, the Oden people can leave Suwig Province freely within three years, and the Sussex Empire will not obstruct.

After three years, those who still stay are the people of the empire.

The parade is not destined to be easy, so let's start from the most difficult part.

The procedure of the parade is very simple. The queen's motorcade enters the square, and the local officials greet her. She meets with the onlookers and gets to know them.

According to convention, the public activities end here. Afterwards, local officials will arrange some visits or interactive activities.

For example, meeting with representatives of the masses, listening to their voices, etc.

But in this parade, important content has been added. Caesar Roland and the accompanying bards tell stories to everyone.

The story of the queen.

The current Queen Sylph is a national idol, and her popularity has surpassed any emperor in Sussex history.

Although some old-fashioned people don't like this kind of ostentatious behavior, they are a minority.

Most people, regardless of gender, age or young, want to see the queen's heroic appearance with their own eyes.

Depending on the size and importance of the province, the public parade lasts about one to two days.

If the journey is taken into account, this parade will not be completed for half a year.

If a war breaks out in the middle of the journey, the parade may end early at any time.

Roland thought that his trip to Suwig would be coldly received, at least the Oden people would not be happy with him.

But the tens of thousands of people crowded in the Pioneer Square still made him confused.

What was going on?

Roland frowned slightly and asked the captain of the escort to do a good job of security.

The captain of the guard on duty, Raikkonen, nodded calmly, quickly left the carriage and went to maintain order.

Looking at Raikkonen's back, Roland's lips curled up a little.

It was hard for him to associate this calm and capable young man with the paparazzi who was chased and beaten for several streets.

When the manager of Troyes handed his young son to him, he probably didn't expect that this kid would now have the title of baron and the rank of brigadier general, and was deeply appreciated by Roland and had a bright future.

People always grow up.

Roland glanced at Sif, who was wearing a simple dress next to him, and thought to himself that if Sif didn't have the potential to challenge Sophia, he would definitely not let her die.

But Sif's potential far exceeded his expectations.

He could become stronger by spreading knowledge, and Sif was no less powerful. With the continuous improvement of her popularity and public support, her temperament became more graceful and her strength also improved by leaps and bounds.

At present, Sif has only made public appearances in a few cities such as the Imperial Capital and Hansa. Roland dared not imagine how much she would grow after this tour.

This is their journey.

It is not a honeymoon under the moonlight, but a journey of flying together.

Everyone is growing in their own way.

This is true for Roland and Sif, and for others as well.

On the day of the tour, Lisa left Hansa and returned to the Magic Association.

She solemnly proposed to her teacher that she wanted to enter the Magic Tower for training.

Anthony's face changed drastically, and his head hurt a little.

In the past, Lisa didn't pay much attention to training, even less than cooking, which gave him a headache. Now Lisa is too motivated, and he also has a headache.

The Magic Tower is a training ground for top geniuses in the Magic Empire to challenge their limits and break through themselves.

Magicians enter the Magic Tower in the form of spirits, constantly improving themselves under the siege of countless ferocious magic simulacra, or die.

Once you enter the Magic Tower, there is no turning back.

Either you pass all the way or you will be beaten to death on the spot.

With Lisa's strength, there is a chance of survival after entering the Demon Spirit Tower, but it is not much.

Anthony's persuasion disappeared in Lisa's eyes burning with blazing flames.

He knew that he could not persuade her, so he had to patiently explain the strategy of passing the Demon Spirit Tower to Lisa.

After all, Lisa was his disciple, and he had to give her any convenience he could.

Lisa listened to the teacher's explanation obediently and entered the Demon Spirit Tower alone.

Entering the Demon Spirit Tower, the obedient smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by determination.

"Demon Spirit Tower, reset!"

Resetting the Demon Spirit Tower, the small backdoor left by the teacher before is naturally invalid, and she has to rely on her own ability to pass the level.

Lisa is certainly not angry, nor is she joking.

Her reason is very simple. Will the enemy leave a backdoor for her?

Relying on the backdoor given by the teacher to pass the level, it will be too late to cry on the battlefield.

When Roland stood in the Pioneer Square of Suwig Province and began his passionate speech, the Golden Kite Republic was in the process of transferring power.

Liberator Alina, like her father, handed over government affairs to her most trusted subordinates.

Romio, who studied political administration with Mr. Carlo, got the opportunity to run the country.

Alina did not give up power, she just needed to calm down.

On the night of the transfer of power, Alina entered the Mont Blanc not far from the top of the White Mountain.

There is an observatory there, which was invested and built by her father.

There is a good view and pleasant climate there, and you can clearly see the starry sky every night.

She wants to live in seclusion here.

Read and deduce during the day, and look up at the stars after nightfall to touch the trajectory of fate.

She wants to accumulate strength and make a final deduction before the war breaks out.

She wants to directly peek into Roland's destiny.

Even if she can't figure out the direction, she must touch it gently and feel the excitement brought by the unknown destiny.

She is a stargazer, a faceless person, and a prophet.

Always trying to escape the backlash of fate, always wanting to watch from afar in a roundabout way, but not daring to face the impermanence of fate head-on.

Such people are not qualified to look up at the stars.

She picked up the feather pen and left flying words on the letter paper.

"If you have time, please come to Mont Blanc to look at the stars together."

There is no beginning or end, but she knows Roland can understand.

Look directly at Roland's fate.

It is also looking directly at her own fate.

Is the gaze passing through the river of fate, or the soul passing through the river of the underworld?

She is somewhat looking forward to it.
