Struggling to survive in the hands of the male protagonist who also wears books

Wagner, the imperial capital of the Thunder Empire, was originally the largest and oldest Colosseum more than 700 years ago. Countless slaves fought, bleed, and died with monsters or other slaves in this Colosseum.Later, the gladiator slaves could not bear the precarious fate, turned up in the Wagner Colosseum, overthrew the major slave owners, established the thundering empire that unified the mainland, and at the same time abolished the slavery that has continued since the ancient tribal period.

After the founding of the Thunder Empire, it expanded around the Colosseum that initially ignited the fire of rebellion, and designated it as the capital of the Thunder Empire, to show that it will never forget the blood swayed by the ancestors.

500 years ago, the phoenix flame ignited by Phoenix I burned half of the continent, but the upper echelon of the Thunder Empire was rotten. All the corrupt and corrupt nobles were wiped out, and they all sacrificed to their ancestors in the Colosseum. Only then did the Thunder Empire take on a new look, and it resisted the attack of the Phoenix Empire without being completely destroyed.

Philip stood outside the city wall of Wagner's imperial capital, looking at the mottled scars on the ancient city wall. The vicissitudes and tragedy that hit his face made him suffocate, as if he could still smell the blood shed here.

"How about it, the imperial capital of our Thunder Empire is more domineering than your Phoenix Empire's Elodi?" Eric came to his side at some point, showing off triumphantly.

Feli really felt that Wagner was more domineering than Eello, but how could he admit defeat?

"Hmph, domineering is a bit domineering, but this building is too rough, and it can't compare to ours in terms of taste."

Eric curled his lips: "Hey, there are many tasteful buildings in our imperial capital, and the city walls just deliberately kept their original appearance."

Fili snorted and stopped arguing with him.

Although the process of getting acquainted with Eric was not very good, but after getting to know him along the way, Fili found that Eric's personality was quite compatible with him. .

From Eric's mouth, Fili found out that the Baker Adventure Group had been recruited by the Thunder Empire a few years ago. It was only because Leonard was a rare 9th-level fighter that the Baker Adventure Group was not allowed to rotate. time to move freely.

As for how Captain Leonard met Crete, Eric didn't know.

After the two got on good terms, Eric would often give Feli gadgets from the Thunder Empire, saying they were gifts for friends, but Feli seriously suspected that this guy was selling the stolen goods he had stolen.

Today Eric took out another small statue, stuffed it into Fili's hand, and said with a smile: "My dear friend, I stole this from the leader so hard... Cough, it's coming, remember Keep it safe."

Feili took a look. This statue was carved with a young man with bare hands. Although the face was blurred because the statue was too small, he could still tell that he was a handsome and aggressive adventurer.

"Who is this?"

Eric said proudly: "This is Husk, the hero of our Thundering Empire, the 'Red Eagle'!"

"Crimson Eagle" Husk, Fili had seen it in the information given by Vera.This is the legendary hero of the Thunder Empire 300 years ago. His origin is unknown, but his combat power is very terrifying. With his physical body alone, he can be tied with warriors of the sub-sage level.

When this legendary hero appeared in the Thundering Empire, the Thundering Empire was suffering from a wave of monsters. Countless monsters poured out from the White Iron Mountains adjacent to the Thundering Empire, and there were many sub-holy level monsters among them!

The Thunder God Cult and the Thunder Empire Legion were struggling, and the folk adventurers also spontaneously went to the border to fight against the monsters, and Shusk was one of the best performers.

He likes to fight with his body without weapons. No matter who asks him to take action, he will never refuse. He has suffered fatal wounds many times, and he insists on the front line, winning the deep gratitude and praise of Thunder Warrior and the people.

In the end, Husk, who broke through the holy rank, together with the saint at the time of the Raytheon Cult, killed the source of the wave of monsters—two holy rank monsters, and returned in blood, completely becoming a hero in people's minds.

Hundreds of years later, the "Crimson Eagle" has become a symbol of faith in the hearts of adventurers, and the poems and operas created for him have been widely sung.

Philip looked at Eric suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid of being taught by Captain Leonard for stealing this?"

"This is what I want to come, so I didn't steal it!" Eric insisted, "There are several from the leader, and they are often distributed to us. It is said that there is the protection of the God of Thunder, which can protect us from being overwhelmed by the fog. devour."

"Okay, as long as you don't be afraid." Fili really liked this statuette, so he hung it on his chest.

A group of people entered the city, and Feili noticed that there were a lot of guards in Wagner's imperial capital, and the faces of the pedestrians were all beaming, with a happy look.

"It seems that this Crown Princess Sophia is very popular." Earl Heyman looked at the scene of the people of the Thunder Empire as if they were celebrating a festival through the carriage window, with a solemn expression, "I don't know what Your Highness Sophia is to our Phoenix Empire. manner."

"Then you are wrong. Your Highness Sophia's attitude towards us is actually not very important." Crete sat opposite Earl Hayman, and said casually, "The important thing is actually the attitude of the Thor Cult."

Earl Hayman raised his eyebrows, and asked with some doubts: "Her Highness Sophia will be the new queen of the Thunder Empire after succeeding to the throne. Her attitude is the most important thing, right? Hasn't the Thunder God Cult always maintained a neutral attitude?"

"The neutrality of the Thunder God Cult is relative to the imperial power of the Thunder Empire. How can it be really neutral when facing foreign enemies?" Crete smiled and knocked on the window. "Based on the founding position, and our Phoenix Empire With the warning of taking down half of the country, the upper echelons of the Thunder Empire dare not ignore the opinions of the people and declare war on us without authorization. If they really want to attack us, they will definitely need the cooperation of the Thunder God Cult to arouse the people's hostility towards us."

Earl Heyman frowned: "So, this time, we mainly want to find out the attitude of the saint of Thor's Cult?"

"You are wrong again. The Thundering Empire and the Thunder God Sect are completely complementary. As long as it is not a fundamental problem, if the new emperor of the Thundering Empire insists on attacking us, the Thunder God Sect will probably cooperate."

Earl Hayman: "..." You have already told me the right and the irony, what can I say?

Earl Heyman coughed and said, "Then Your Highness needs to work harder to find out the attitudes of these two people who can affect the relationship between the two countries."

Crete lazily spread out his hands, pretending to be surprised and asked: "What, isn't this your job?"

Earl Hayman: "...Your Highness, you are the main person in charge of the viewing team."

"Although it's me in name, in fact I'm just taking on this title. Earl Heyman has been a diplomat for many years and has rich experience, so I don't need to talk too much." Crete snapped his fingers pretendingly, "If you need to fight Just call me again.”

Then he pouted at the carriage door: "It's coming soon, you should go down and get ready."

Earl Heyman held his breath, and asked, "Your Highness, don't you think I'm in the way here?" He looked outside the car door.

Since he got into the car, the little lover of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince consciously ran out to be with the people from Thunder Empire.

Crete asked in surprise: "Hey, did I act so obviously? I'm so sorry, I don't know how to hide my emotions. Sigh, I'm still not as clever as the Earl. Sure enough, I still need you to come to this diplomacy." Lead!"

Earl Heyman, who is only in his early forties this year and "wild and calculating", said: "..."

He looked at Kriter shaking his head, even though he knew that His Highness was trying to anger him on purpose, he still couldn't help but repeatedly persuaded himself in his heart, "You can't beat him, you can't beat him..." before forcing out a blunt Smile: "Then rest well, Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

Critter said indifferently: "Well, you can go to work—oh yes, by the way, help me call Philip in."

"..."

Earl Heyman held his anger and called Fili back, and then returned to his carriage angrily.

Fili didn't really want to be alone with Crete.

Ever since he suspected that Kriter was bent, the more he looked at Kriter's eyes, the more he felt that something was wrong. Even the "three major illusions in life" couldn't stop him from deceiving him.

Why did you say that a good harem man suddenly became a gay?

What would he do if Crete really confessed his love to him?

Thinking of that scene, Fili was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to deal with it.So in order to avoid this possibility, he always avoided Crete when he was able to go out, and when he was together, he held the Thunder Empire materials that Vera gave him and read carefully, trying not to communicate with Crete.

Critter was complacent about Fili's enlightenment at first, but after a long time, he became a little dissatisfied - Fili has been stuck with that Eric since he avoided him, wishing to sleep in the same carriage , is this trying to put a hat on him? !

So as soon as Feili entered the car door, Crete grabbed his hand and said bluntly: "Fili, what are you hiding from me these days?"

"Ah? No!" Fili was startled, subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, "I just see that His Highness has been busy recently, and I don't want to disturb His Highness."

Crete held onto his hand tightly, and said with a bit of hurt on purpose: "Fili, you can count on one hand the things you've said to me every day recently—are you trying to leave me?"

"Ah? How could it be!" Philip said in a panic, racking his brains to think of excuses, "I thought His Highness prefers to be quiet, so..."

"What do I like, can't you guess?"

Fei Li was almost overwhelmed by this bright hint, and his face blushed again unconsciously: "Your Highness!"

Seeing his blushing, Critter felt itchy and was about to make persistent efforts to take another step closer when he heard Earl Hayman's voice from outside the carriage: "Your Royal Highness, we have arrived."

Feeling relieved, Fei Li withdrew his hand quickly, straightened his clothes, coughed dryly and said solemnly: "Your Highness, it's time for us to go out."

Crete shook his head regretfully, smiled and said in a low voice, "I'll let you go this time." Then he got off the carriage first.

After getting off the carriage, Fili found that they had parked in front of a mansion, which seemed to be their embassy in the Thunder Empire.

There are already many people waiting at the gate of the embassy, ​​and the leader is a handsome brunette beauty dressed in men's clothing, with a haughty expression, and the small tiara on her head marks her identity, she is the Crown Princess of the Thunder Empire , Sophia Orbat, the next Queen of the Thunder Empire.

Fei Li quietly looked at His Royal Highness Sophia, and found that she was almost the same as what he had imagined when he read the original book - confident, strong, beautiful, and with a little sense of arrogance as a princess.

It's just that seeing a real person now, for some reason, Fei Li didn't have the longing and love feeling when he read the original book, only a faint sense of awkwardness and refusal to admit defeat.

According to the original book, Sophia saw Crete for the first time here, and was attracted by Crete's appearance and strength. After inviting Crete to the duel field for a few times, she fell in love deeply. Crete finally became Crete's official wife by virtue of her infatuation, intelligence and the Thunder Empire behind her.

Feili forcibly ignored the displeasure in his heart, and looked straight at Crete—if the present Crete was wooed by His Royal Highness Sophia, who was all beautiful, wise and powerful, how would he react? ?

However, contrary to Philip's expectations, Sophia did not show the "sparkling" and "enthusiasm and generosity" attitude in the original work when facing Crete. After the ceremony, they led the people from the Thunder Empire back, ignoring the other visitors from the Phoenix Empire the whole time.

Not only was this development beyond Philip's expectations, even Earl Hayman who was standing beside him was aroused by the attitude of the Thundering Empire, and couldn't help saying: "Your Highness Sophia, you are so rude!"

Of course, after getting angry, Earl Heyman immediately became worried again—as the decisive figures in their respective countries, their attitudes are not just personal likes and dislikes, but more should represent political positions; that is to say, Sophia This indifferent attitude is likely to be the overall attitude of the upper echelons of the Thunder Empire!

That's not good, is it really going to break out of war?

Earl Heyman turned his head worriedly, intending to discuss with Crete, and happened to see Crete stroking Fili's hair as if nothing had happened, and said to Fili with a smile, "How about it, don't worry?"

Philip said with a guilty conscience: "What? I don't understand what His Highness means..."

Crete didn't insist, just laughed and scolded "little vinegar jar" and took Philip into the embassy, ​​leaving only Earl Heyman standing at the door blankly.

——Can His Royal Highness still do it?The important diplomatic situation of the empire is not as important as his little lover's jealousy?

Although at the beginning, he did have such thoughts: Sophia has not yet reported that he has a sweetheart, and His Highness Crete's excellence can be said to be rare in the world. If he can impress the heart of Sophia Crown Princess, the relationship between the two countries There are so many things to do!

But looking at the current situation, His Highness Crete flirted openly with his male lover at the gate of the embassy. I am afraid that this information will be placed on Sophia's desk in less than an hour, even if Sophia really has thoughts about Crete. , will be completely wiped out!

Earl Heyman's face was gloomy, and he walked into the embassy by himself, remembering Crete severely in his heart.

Fili was still baffled by Sofia's attitude of breaking away from the original work. He didn't know which butterfly wings caused Sophia to dismiss Crete. Unconvinced:

Crete is so good, why doesn't Sophia like it?

Critter saw Philip's little emotions, and felt happier. He completely put aside the important affairs of the country and circled around Philip. He was so angry that Earl Hayman, who wanted to discuss business with Crete several times, didn't care about the etiquette of the nobles. No more, almost pointing at Crete's nose and scolding.

Crete didn't care about this, and even after he settled down, he took Philip to visit the Thor Church in a swaggering way, leaving all diplomatic matters to Earl Hayman.
