The Legend of Rebirth

In the St. Peter's Theater in King Asaph City, a classic stage play "Maggie the Witch" is being performed at home today.

"Maggie the Witch" tells the story of Maggie, a girl from a small town. Maggie is a cute little girl with blond curly hair. One day when she was picking flowers in the forest, she met the evil devil, who bewitched her. , turning her into an evil black witch, and her blond curly hair turned into long black hair like the abyss of hell. The black witch Maggie became the puppet of the devil and killed the townspeople everywhere, offering human sacrifices to the devil. Until one day, Maggie met a young prince who broke into the black forest and defeated the devil, and rescued Maggie's soul from the prison of the devil.Maggie felt remorse for what she had done in the past, and her sad tears fell to the ground. Suddenly, all the souls who died in this demon sacrifice were sublimated, and Maggie was redeemed because of this. live happily together.

"The actress who plays Maggie is so pretty, what do you think?" In the box on the second floor of the main stadium, Lyle said to the people who just opened the door.At this time, Maggie on the stage has changed from a little blond girl to a long-legged black-haired beauty, and the actor has also been replaced by an extremely glamorous stage actress with exaggerated and enchanting makeup. Lyle's nature of loving beauties has never changed. Seeing this situation, he immediately let out a long whistle, all kinds of frivolity.

The butler of Henry's house opened the door and saw Lyle looking like a street hooligan. It was difficult to connect this person with the serious and upright Elizabeth patriarch, but he quickly reacted and turned sideways to let The person behind entered the door, then lowered his head and closed the door for the two people inside, leaving a completely enclosed space for two people to talk.

Hearing Lyle's question, Barlow looked at the heroine who was killing the town's residents on the stage, with all kinds of horror expressions and bloody makeup, "..."

Ignoring Lyle's weird aesthetics, he sat next to Lyle and placed the parchment on the table. A red ribbon was tied to the parchment with a beautiful bow tied on it.

"Are you satisfied with the gift packaging you are about to receive?" Barlow smiled, "Or do you need to inspect the goods first?"

Lyle moved his eyes back from the stage play, saw the things on the table, paused, closed the stage play broadcast light in the box and the glass window that could directly see the scene, and then slowly opened his mouth, "...you How did it come about?"

"Do you think I'll tell you the answer to your question?" Barlow asked rhetorically.

Lyle smiled, "Isn't it you who came to me to cooperate? Although you took the main part, I can get the copy from Allen at any time, can't I?" He moved his position to make himself lie comfortably a little. "It is not necessary for me to agree to your request."

"But this meeting has proved that you still need this document, hasn't it?" Barlow leaned on the sofa, clasped his fingers in front of his knees, and his posture was very wanton.It can be seen that he is very relaxed now.

"...What do you want?" Lyle was silent for a while, and finally revealed the naked_transactional nature of the meeting under the harmonious atmosphere. They are all old politicians who have been in the political arena for a long time. The topic of the scene It has been flooded, and the two of them are well aware of each other's details, so spreading everything out is the most suitable way of talking for them.

Barlow took the sheepskin scroll back into his hand, untied the red ribbon gently, and slowly unfolded the contents inside towards him. "... Those troops outside the City of Light belong to you, right?"

Hearing about the City of Light, Lyle finally realized the reason why Barlow suddenly came to him. He thought that he and Barlow had basically no direct conflict of interest now. There was really no possibility of Barlow looking for him. On the contrary, he really wanted to talk to Barlow about the reason why he sent people to hunt him down before.City of Light?Lyle laughed. Now that he talked about this, the weight of the chips in Barlow's hand seemed a little light.

The number of private troops left behind after he left the City of Light was not large, and because he was missing at that time, the troops did not receive orders from their superiors, so when Barlow sent his own people to replace Allen's court soldiers He did not respond in time, causing the entire City of Light to fall under Barlow's control again.Afterwards, Lyle did not let his army withdraw from the City of Light, but instead sent some soldiers to lurk outside the City of Light. It has been stationed openly, but no one can say anything about it. Military strength is stronger than all powers.

Lyle didn't pay much attention to the City of Light before. Although he was paying attention to Barlow and the City of Light at the same time, he was also puzzled by the rapid technological development of the City of Light, but he really didn't connect this with Barlow.It wasn't until later that he went to the City of Light, met Edward there, and found many traces related to Barlow there, that he doubted the fact that the City of Light might be the mainstay of Barlow's economy.Now that he had doubts in his heart, Lyle naturally upheld the attitude of catching mistakes rather than letting them go, and directly sent troops to control the City of Light on the periphery.

In this regard, Lyle stated: Well, I just don’t lack money or military resources. I have enough soldiers to encircle and control a city. Don’t you agree?Come and bite me!

At this time, Barlow couldn't feel Lyle's inner drama, otherwise he would definitely be pissed off, and maybe he could really pounce on him and bite him.The construction of the City of Light has cost Barlow too much effort. This city is the support for all his political and economic activities. At that time, when Allen's earthquake prediction came out, he was first worried about the City of Light, but the prediction was too similar. Nonsense, Barlow just laughed it off.When the earthquake really happened, Barlow immediately contacted the City of Light and organized them to quickly control the aftermath of the earthquake. By the way, he blackmailed Allen and asked him to go to the City of Light for disaster relief. Then someone will treat Allen well. ——

In the end, the news came back that his people did organize the post-earthquake reconstruction well, rebuilt an incomparably glamorous and luxurious post-earthquake work office, and used the excuse that they failed to ambush Alan because they didn't see Alan at the gate of the City of Light. ——Besides, Barlow was ashamed of his choice of subordinates, and he could only watch Alan and his two overthrow the local Holy See organization in the City of Light, and also reaped a lot of honor and flowers .

Barlow doesn’t want to continue to look back on all the previous things. At this time, he just wants Lyle to withdraw his army. Even if it’s just monitoring the City of Light from behind the scenes, it’s better than just posing outside the City of Light to monitor the City of Light. .His useless and cowardly subordinates even sent him dozens of light messages in a row with the excuse that "being stared at my little heart will make me weak and I can't sleep well every day". Urgently requesting him to withdraw the army-this caused him to slow down the process of attacking Allen and turn to compromise with Lyle.

One of the important reasons why later generations fell behind Barlow Henry politically was due to his stupid subordinates. Many officials in Henry’s faction are completely characters from the #猪友友# series, and Barlow is employing people His shortcomings put him at a complete disadvantage in the deal ahead of him.

When the two left the St. Petersburg Theatre, there was a huge difference in expression. The butler saw his own Duke at the door and rushed to greet him, but Barlow had to frown and get on the shuttle with a dark face.Lyle was in a good mood, and waved at Henry's flying shuttle, "Have a good trip, welcome to visit us next time!"

Barlow, who hated the poor sound insulation effect of the shuttle, let him hear Lyle's squeaky voice: "..."

The butler spoke cautiously beside him, "Duke...?"

"It's okay." After all, Barlow is an old politician who has been in the political arena for many years, so it is absolutely easy to control the expression on the face.He quickly adjusted his emotions and suppressed the irritability in his heart that everything went wrong in the past six months, but there was always a feeling of uneasiness in his mind.He tried his best to dispel the uneasy thoughts in his mind, and told the driver to make a turn. "To the palace."

Fei Shuo went all the way to the palace, where someone was waiting for him.

In the palace hospital, Linna was walking in through the gate when she saw Theodore coming out of the light ladder. She didn't know why at the time, she was anxious and hid aside, and waited until she saw Theodore leave. He walked slowly to the light ladder, and pressed the number button for the floor of the ward where Allen was located.

At this time, her heart was full of what her classmates said in the light message from aliens two days ago, and her mind was in a mess.The information about the right of inheritance made it impossible for her to digest it well. While thinking about it, the light ladder had already reached the floor where Alan was.

She took a long breath and walked to Allen's ward.

There was no one guarding Alan's ward. After all, it was in the palace hospital, and no one dared to mess around.Linna opened the door and saw a person she could never have imagined appeared in front of her eyes.

"Baluo... Your Excellency the Duke!" Linna swallowed the unspoken disrespectful remarks about calling the elders by their first names.

Barlow was very kind when he saw Linna, "Good day, my princess, are you also here to visit His Highness Alan?" He seemed a little melancholy as he said, "His Highness Alan seems to be in a bad condition."

Linna saw that Barlow didn't seem to have a special attitude towards herself, who was likely to be his daughter-in-law, and she relaxed her posture slightly. After all, it was always awkward to face Barlow when she remembered her relationship with Edward.Linna continued following Barlow's words. "Yes, I'll come and see brother Alan." She looked at the person on the bed and was immediately taken aback.

She had heard about Alan's illness before, and had some understanding of God's judgment, but the visual conflict of seeing a truly albino patient was too great.Allen's appearance is not terrible, but the skin and hair of the whole person are in a state of whitening.At this time, he was lying quietly on the hospital bed, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his chest and breathing, he would have looked like a dead body.

Although it was inappropriate to describe her elder brother like this, Linna couldn't restrain herself from imagining that if Alan really died... No, she interrupted her terrible thoughts.

Barlow just smiled kindly at Lina, making her turn her head away uncomfortably. "Recalling that I personally picked up His Royal Highness Alan and led him to the main hall - I didn't expect that it would take so long, let alone that His Highness would suffer from this disease now, it was like an evil curse. "His face was very sad, and he wiped away his tears as he spoke.

Lina felt even more uncomfortable. She was definitely not a person who was good at communicating with people. If the middle-aged man in front of her was not the father of her boyfriend, she would probably have just slapped him and scolded him bloody——chirp Wai Wai, don't put it in front of yourself, it's so annoying.But... Linna suppressed the impatience in her heart, and was thinking of saying something perfunctory, when she saw Barlow speak again.

"Speaking of which, Alan is really excellent, isn't he?" He had a smile on his lips, as if he was really just discussing her outstanding brother with Linna. "His prestige in the hearts of the people of Asaph is also very high now." He sighed, "On the beach, the later waves will always overthrow the previous waves. The current juniors are really amazing."

Linna smiled and echoed twice, but she clenched her hands behind her back tightly.

"Of course, Her Royal Highness is also very good!" Barlow seemed to suddenly realize that his remarks seemed inappropriate, and quickly added his compliments to Her Royal Highness, but it seemed that he was not familiar with Linna, and seemed to be a little short of words. . "Of course, the people of Asaph are not very familiar with you, Your Highness. You are such a beautiful and elegant girl. They must all envy my unbelievable boy." He sighed again, "Unfortunately, Alan's reputation It's really too big, there will always be some beautiful gemstones that look dim under his light..."

"It's getting late, and it's inconvenient for me to continue disturbing you." Barlow suddenly changed the subject, "I'll leave first, Your Highness, next time I see you, you will be as noble and elegant as ever." After saying that, he left quietly out of the ward.

Soon, Linna was the only one left in the ward. She looked at Alan on the bed, and slowly approached. The evil thought slowly occupied her whole mind, and she couldn't restrain herself from reaching out to Alan. hands.

"Originally, only you and your elder brother Theodore had the highest inheritance right in the royal family of Asaph...a direct bloodline suddenly appeared, which completely divided up your interests..."

"...Speaking of which, Alan is really excellent, isn't he?"

"Unfortunately, Allen's reputation is too great, there will always be some beautiful gems that appear dim under his light..."

"You are the king's most beloved princess, Your Royal Highness..."

"Your brother Theodore doesn't understand politics at all, he would not be a good candidate for a king..."

"It's a pity that there is another powerful heir to the king's throne..."

"...Didn't there have been countless queens in the history of your country?"

"...you will be the new Queen of Asahi."

"...the new Her Majesty the Queen."

"... Her Majesty the Queen."

Linna's trembling hand stopped in front of Alan's nose. Through the oxygen mask, she seemed to feel Alan's shallow breath on her palm, which was as hot as fire. At that moment, she felt that her palm was about to burst into flames. Generally scalded.

"... Her Majesty the Queen."

She took off Allen's oxygen mask.
