Chapter 210 Queen: Let’s Talk About You and Nicole (1/2)

The Secret City, Fengling Moon Shadow Palace.

The Queen of Eternal Night received Roger and Margaret who returned from the Sea Country.

Shak ascended the throne, Nicole surrendered, and the Empire's five-year plan for the ocean strategy completed the task ahead of schedule and exceeded the target.

A proxy war reversed the original victory and defeat. The Sea Country changed the Sea Emperor, and the subsequent benefits continued. The seabed will become an important weapon testing site for the Empire.

As time goes by, it is not difficult to colonize the seabed directly.

In this battle, Roger and Margaret played an indispensable role.

Of course, the Queen of Eternal Night can also be called wise in letting go of power. There was no sudden airdrop of secret letters and the principal's behavior of "moving the magician position forward 50 meters".

The Queen of Eternal Night was also very satisfied with the result of this battle.

I only need to cooperate with the expression at home, and the capable Roger Aiqing will solve all the problems. I don't even have to copy the homework myself. Is there anything better than this?

Happy, the Queen of Eternal Night directly held a banquet in Fengling Yueying Palace to entertain the two meritorious ministers.

At the banquet, the monarch and the ministers summarized the gains and losses of this ocean layout and verified that the same idea can be used in more countries on the continent.

Margaret has figured out that His Majesty only cares about victory, and has learned several tricks from Roger in private.

Her Nightingale and Sparrow have a lot of enemy intelligence, and professional staff have designed action plans, and they have put forward several sets of quite devilish plans.

Well, the little devil is becoming more and more devilish, which is not wrong.

"Yes, Mary, you are becoming more mature." The Queen of Eternal Night was very pleased to hear this, and she recognized the feasibility of Margaret's plan.

As long as we cooperate well with the Kingdom of Terra, the external threat of the Qingteng Empire will be hidden, and the original contradictions between the powers will gradually surface.

At that time, we only need to slightly intensify the contradictions between the two sides or even multiple parties, and there will definitely be a new battlefield opened up.

The Empire can sell arms in the name of third parties such as the Kingdom of Terra and make money on both sides.

And it just so happens that the beast soul bracelet and the paradise illusion control the people under the rule, so that the ruling cost of the great powers is reduced and productivity is improved.

In addition to the magic crystal machinery of the Terra cottage, more wealth is accumulated, and these countries on the continent have money to buy more weapons and equipment.

At this time, we must thank the Seven Gods Church.

It is their tireless efforts to plant the seeds of hatred between the great powers and different races.

Many of them are old rivals for thousands of years. They did not fight before just because there was a greater threat from the Empire.

Now the Empire has been "forced" to recuperate by Terra, its national strength has been improved, the people are obedient, and the equipment level has risen sharply.

In just one year, many rulers have been unable to suppress their restless hearts and want to settle accounts with their old enemies.

Let alone the secular kingship, there is hatred between the theocracy churches.

The alliance of the seven gods only exists at the level of gods. The transactions circulated among mortals are quite exclusive, especially the gods are directly set as hostile camps...

In short, in this world where the strong are respected and there are many races, it is difficult to have peace, but if you want to fight, there are a lot of ruthless people who will fight at any time.

The three kings and ministers had a very satisfying meal, and by the way, they arranged the surrounding powers clearly.

Let these countries and forces consume each other first, and it is best to turn their territories into ruins. The empire will make money on both sides as an arms dealer, complete industrial upgrading and accumulate strength, and finally harvest the whole world.

Alas, isn't this the old road that the lighthouse took in the past?

Sure enough, brushing other people's world war missions can make yourself a superpower!

The Queen of Eternal Night was chatting and casually asked about a key point that was not described in detail in the previous battle report:

"By the way, how did you convince Saint Nicole? I heard that she is known for her firm faith."

Roger's expression suddenly became a little stiff. Although he had a clear conscience and it was all the girl's initiative, he felt inexplicably guilty when the Queen suddenly asked him about it.

"Well... it was all discussed by Lord Roger, and I didn't know about it."

Margaret glanced sideways with ill intentions and immediately resigned, "Your Majesty, I remember that there are some temporary tasks in the military that have not been arranged, so I have to leave first!"

"Go." The Queen of Eternal Night agreed directly.

Although Roger's thoughts just now were very messy, she heard very sensitive words such as "imprisonment", "loyalty", "Are you comfortable like this, sir", and now Margaret really needs to leave.

She has to ask her invincible commander alone if he has done anything to let her down!

"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that the Dark Night Guard also has a lot of things to deal with..."

"The domestic situation is still good now, so there is no rush for you." The Queen of Eternal Night saw through this guy's intention to slip away at a glance, and her face darkened, "Talk to me in detail, what did you say and do to the Saint Lady, and how did you make her agree to cooperate with the Empire? It must be very interesting, right?"

[Damn Margaret, she ran so fast, without any brotherly feelings! ]

[Fortunately, I prepared this question in advance, and I already had a draft! Let me think about how the harmonious version was recited...]

After Roger's initial panic, at least on the surface, he had regained his composure.

He told a story very "fluently" about a captured Saint Lady, and found that her faith in the Sea God had cracks, and immediately instilled a series of truths into her, and then she finally turned from darkness to light.

In theory, this is indeed the truth.

It's just that many very crucial details have been skipped. Nicole's real allegiance is not to the Empire, but to Roger.

If it were an ordinary relationship between king and minister, it would definitely be satisfying to understand it to this extent.

In this story, Roger is extremely loyal, takes pride in what the empire has done, uses the charisma of the Queen of Evernight to inspire the enemy leader, and finally succeeds.

This can be regarded as an invisible flattery. Maybe when an emperor is happy, there will be extra rewards for him!

But the problem is that the relationship between Queen Yongye and Roger is not that of an ordinary monarch and minister.

With the tacit thoughts of both parties, plus hearing his okay thoughts, how could the Queen just let him go?

"Isn't it? After knowing what the Seven Gods are doing, the saint turned to the empire? Can we just broadcast the truth to the whole world, so that the empire can maintain world peace?"

The Queen of Evernight showed a thoughtful look, glaring at Roger with mocking eyes, obviously saying, "Please tell me the truth!"

[How could such a perfect story like mine reveal flaws? It shouldn’t be! 】

[Ahem, it doesn’t matter. Fortunately, I also prepared the R12+ version...]

Roger cleared his throat: "There are indeed some insignificant details, but I didn't go into details for fear of wasting His Majesty's time..."

"It doesn't matter, it's a long night, and I don't have any other plans today. My dear, I can tell you the whole story, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything."

Queen Yongye's eyes narrowed and narrowed, and she looked more dangerous.

It seemed that as long as Roger dared to say something untrue or unclear, she would torture him until he was beaten...

Ah no, it’s to explore the truth!

Roger had been with the Queen of Evernight for so long and was familiar with her tricks. He was immediately afraid, but he was not completely afraid.

He definitely couldn't tell the complete truth, even if he was beaten to death, because he might actually be beaten to death if he told it.

Therefore, he must counter the curiosity of the Queen of Evernight. Of course, this strategy will be a bit risky, so he must operate it carefully...

The first step to counterattack is to distract the Queen with nonsense!

Roger deliberately acted embarrassed and coy: "Your Majesty, you have many things to do, and I dare not waste time. I dare to use Margaret's head to guarantee that Saint Nicole is definitely a reliable friend of the empire!"

Queen:? ? ?

God used Margaret’s head as a guarantee. Shouldn’t you use your own for this kind of thing?

Her face sank: "If you are asked to speak, just speak!"

"Actually, Nicole said something that might make His Majesty unhappy."

"speak!"

"Those words involving ministers are a bit treasonous. Please don't get angry..."

"Are you going to tell me or not!!!"

Queen Yongye couldn't help but slap the table directly.

Of course I know that there must have been something treacherous between Nicole and you, otherwise I wouldn’t bother asking!

With your ability to evade, you still want to escape from my invincible wisdom and insight? Don't think you can escape!

Roger seemed to be frightened by her sudden anger. He shrank his neck and said cautiously: "Tell me, I will tell you soon..."

Seeing that he was still here hesitating and trying to delay time, Queen Eternal Night's hands lit up with the light of magic, and Roger finally said slowly:

"She just asked me if I had ever stopped His Majesty from rebelling against the gods. I said of course not. His Majesty is a dragon in the sky, how could he care about my thoughts? Then Nicole made an expression of extreme surprise. She said that others can't. , but I must be different in His Majesty’s heart..."

"1. That's nonsense! How can she, a naga saint, know what I'm thinking?" A trace of panic suddenly flashed across Queen Yongye's face, and she quickly denied it, "I treat all my ministers the same, and what I pursue in ruling my whole life is It’s fair, fair and fair!”

Roger nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, that's what I answered Nicole. In front of His Majesty, all ministers must rely on their true talents and learning. There is absolutely no unfairness... But Nicole is very stubborn, saying that she analyzed the empire The intelligence and information prove that His Majesty has that kind of intention towards me..."

"What kind of intention? This is completely far-fetched and malicious!" Queen Yongye stood up with a roll of sleeves and turned around, not wanting Roger to notice her blushing face.

Is my intention that obvious? Was he actually spotted by a Saintess from the Sea Country whom he had never met before?

In the eyes of that saint, am I actually a big fool who loves his courtier unrequitedly?

This is slander, Chi Guoguo’s slander, I will never admit it! I'm obviously pretending to be cool!

The good news is that Roger doesn't look like he believes it now, so he must not be allowed to believe it.

What if he knows that I like him and starts to lie down again based on this, right?

So I...I'm going to pretend to be angry now! Completely deny this!

Queen Yongye made a decision in an instant. With an extremely angry look, she turned around and overturned the table: "I already know this. I thought that Nicole had just surrendered to the empire and did not understand the situation. I will not pursue the nonsense for now. Have you ever mentioned this to anyone else?"

He won't secretly tease me with his sister, right?

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Of course I won't tell anyone about Nicole's baseless speculation. If Your Majesty hadn't asked about it, I might have forgotten all about it."

Queen Yongye listened to Roger's thoughts and felt relieved when she knew that this time he was true to his words and had indeed never told anyone about it.

"This matter ends here. It should never be discussed again, and no one should know about it. Do you understand?"

"I obey the order."

"Okay, quit. You performed well this time. You will have to work harder next time."

"Your Majesty, please calm down and take good care of yourself."

The Queen of Evernight breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Roger's footsteps walking away.

Fortunately, I acted tactfully enough and didn't reveal my secret, and I wasn't treated as a fool with unrequited love!

Roger left the Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace with a sad heart. He couldn't help but look back at the food scattered on the floor. The precious tableware that was many years old was smashed to pieces...

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was far away from the hall and within a distance of being teleported back to his home.

It was so suspenseful, I was almost forced to reveal the truth!

Fortunately, I was smart enough to use some of Nicole's other words to stimulate the Queen of Evernight, so that she couldn't ask any more questions and ended the conversation on her own initiative.

This is information that Roger only confirmed recently.

He used to think that Queen Yongye was a veteran and teased him like a younger brother.

However, as his relationship with Little Joey deepened day by day and he got to know more people of the opposite sex, he discovered that the image of Queen Yongye, the old Si Ji, was probably just an act.

It was just a slightly over-the-top joke, and she blushed first!

After confirming this, Roger had a tried-and-tested way to escape.

All you need to do is act thicker-skinned than the other person when being teased, and then it will be the one who is the soft-faced who will be embarrassed.

The dandy young master with countless maids vs. the naughty queen who has no experience in love but pretends to be a bad woman, who is more shameless? Do you need to guess the outcome?

...Well, this is not a glorious thing.

Anyway, Roger used the same trick today. Once Nicole's strange speculations were put aside, Queen Yongye's attention was immediately focused on clearing her own suspicions, and she had no energy left to investigate what happened to Roger and Nicole. …

It's a pity that Roger actually had the intention of testing the Queen of Evernight today, but judging from her reaction.

Some are like being angry when something is pointed out, but some are like being angry when being slandered...

In short, it’s really hard to judge what the queen is thinking based on her performance.

It can only be said that Nicole's analysis is really far-fetched, and she doesn't know the details of her relationship with His Majesty.

Now, at best, they can be considered friends who share the same ideals, but they haven't reached the level of a relationship, right?

Hey, women's hearts are really troublesome. To be on the safe side, let His Majesty make the first move.

She is such a strong person, if she is really thoughtful, she will definitely move forward...

If there is no movement, that means there is no movement yet!

"But speaking of which, that girl is also troublesome."

Roger returned to Maotai Winery and sighed softly when he saw a certain saint waiting in his study.

He knew that the time came again every night, and there was no way he could hide from it.

Under Nicole's expectant gaze, the two people walked into the completely soundproof basement.

Roger stood against the wall, facing Nicole, while Nicole lowered her body and made a kneeling posture like the Nagas. She knelt in front of Roger and opened her mouth...

Start praying to him about your day's experience.

if not?

Will believers do anything strange to a “temporary god”?
