Lord of Secrets - Chapter 74 73. Scarlett's Choice
“Sikada, this painting is for you. It’s useless anyway. You should give it to the Illusion Red Canon.” Ubermo rolled up some old paintings and handed them to Sikada.
Sikada slowly took the paintings and said “hmm”.
“After giving them to them, you will return to Fuwei Garden. Achieve their goal. If they still want to force you, they must be prepared to be surrounded by the Asymmetric Sanctuary.”
Watching Ubermo leave, Sikada tightened the painting in her hand, looked at the pen and letter paper on the table, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
…
These days, Ubermo often accompanies a few people, and occasionally takes time to find Ayesha to relieve her anxiety and tension in a strange city.
Until July 23, Monday morning, Rebettina came to Ubermo’s room with a letter.
Ubermo, who was a little puzzled, reached out to take the letter paper, slowly opened it, and looked at the crooked letters:
“Ubermo, I should leave. ”
“I have always understood that there is a huge gap between us. I am a humble civilian and just a bird that can only survive under the wings of others.”
“The first time I went to the amusement park, I was very happy, feeling the ‘wind and waves’, which was a kind of freedom and hope…”
“The first time I went hunting, I was calm, feeling the death of life, the wanton playing and hunting of the weak…”
“The first time I went to the circus, watching the tiger in the iron net, like a kitten, following the script to please others step by step…”
“And under the clown’s funny expression is a hypocritical mockery between life and death, mocking the weakness of life, mocking the disregard of death, but in fact it is helplessness towards fate.”
“Suddenly I realized that we are drowning people, and we can only struggle in the water, just to break free from the bondage of seaweed, break free from the tight bondage of kelp, break free from the oppression of the endless sea, and then come out of the water to take a deep breath and smile falsely. ”
“I always think it would be great if it were plain and simple, but I have no choice, and you have no choice either. I am a witch. Witches can smile and give their true heart. But they cannot lose the struggle against the flame on the cross and the resistance to that fate. “
“So, I can’t stay by your side for the time being. Witches need flames to ignite everything…”
…
“That’s why we need to fight. Even if we die, the existence of flames is to burn out one day. Then, flames can only ignite everything. This is the mystery.”
“In order to exist, we need to deprive.”
A golden flame suddenly appeared in the palm of Ubermo’s hand, burning the letter paper to ashes and falling to the floor.
“Tina, you should go out for a walk next!” Ubermo suddenly said.
“Your Highness!” Rebettina said in surprise.
“Lia has set off, Scarlett has also left, and ‘life’ is in action. You also need to go out to hone your skills.”
“As for Fuur, she is just a little princess!”
“The ‘world’ needs order to exist, and you are an indispensable part of the order of Chaldea. “
Ubermo’s tone was low and firm.
After hearing this, Rebettina pursed her lips, then knelt on one knee, clenched her right fist and put it on her chest, and then said:
“I will obey your orders, my majesty!”
…
Ubermo then came to the living room that was as gorgeous as a palace, and watched Fuer constantly reading the mysterious book, and Ubermo said:
“Fur, I should leave in a few days.”
Furnadette’s golden eyes stared at Ubermo, and was silent for a while. She didn’t ask why, but just said in a slightly low voice:
“Please come back safely!”
Feeling the pleading in Fuernadette’s tone, rather than expectation, Ubermo felt a slight pain in her heart. She could no longer lose her only relative.
Ubermo raised the corner of his mouth, and then responded: “Of course, there is also my sister who I regard as a treasure here!”
“There must also be my brother who I regard as the sun! “Furnad added.
…
Ayesha’s home in the Lavitch District.
“Belmode, black tea or coffee?” Ayesha looked at Ubemo and asked.
After a pause, Ubemo said, “Black tea!”
Ayesha came out with a cup of fragrant black tea, handed it to Ubemo, and then said happily:
“Today, my history tutor Tavichenko told us a lot about the historical customs of various places. For example, in the small town of Fan Valley next to the Rhinetru Peak, the residents believe that ‘death is not the end’. They will dress the dead decently and then put them in Fan Valley. After the corpse rots, they believe that the dead residents are wandering on the stairs to heaven. At this time, they need to burn the clothes so that they can complete the last journey to heaven. “
“And the female tribe in the southern continent that you told me about last time…”
Watching Ayesha gradually walk out of the shadows, Ubemo listened carefully to her sharing, until she was thirsty and took a sip of water from the cup, Ubemo said:
“Ayesha, I’m going to the southern continent.”
Ayesha was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she said:
“You have to be careful, I heard that the people over there are more barbaric.”
Ubemo smiled, then gestured with his famous muscles and said:
“I’m a wandering detective poet, I’m in good health, and if anyone dares to hit me, I’ll just pick up the revolver and point it at the other person’s head, let’s see who is more barbaric?”
Although Ubemo’s behavior was a little funny and not gentlemanly at all, Ayesha still held back her smile and said with a straight face:
“Belmode, you can’t be careless.”
Ubemo quickly responded: “I know, I know!”
“What do you want to eat? Remember to tell Chef Heis. Don’t save on food, otherwise you will be so thin. And clothes, buy whatever you want yourself.”
“The most important thing for you now is to study hard.”
Ayesha murmured: “I know, I know!”
…
In Vina Palace.
“Flan, the next government affairs are handed over to you. I believe you will not let me down.” Ubemo rubbed the handle of the chair and spoke slowly.
Duke Isa was stunned. He was a little surprised by Ubemo’s decision. Even if he knew something about Ubemo, he couldn’t fully understand it.
Monaye’s eyes turned. He had expected that for this majesty, his purpose has always been mysterious. This is also what he advocates. Only power can protect Feroza.
At this moment, in the hall of Vina Palace, besides Duke Isa and Monaye, there was also Alfrey. She was not restrained at all. She stood with her arms folded, looking at Ubermo curiously, trying to figure out his thoughts.
Duke Isa narrowed his eyes, looked at the two people around him, and nodded without raising any objections:
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Ubermo then continued to say: “I have only one condition, that is, 80% of ordinary people and 50% of nobles.”
Ubermo did not ask for too much, after all, the main body of the empire was still maintained by the nobles.
Every decree needs to take into account 80% of ordinary people and 50% of nobles… Duke Isa instantly understood Ubermo’s thoughts and was slightly shocked. Although the previous bill to relieve women showed that His Majesty Ubermo sympathized with the civilians, he did not expect him to value it so much.
You must know that in other countries, decrees are basically for the nobles, and only some policies will occasionally give civilians benefits, which is enough to make them grateful. Moreover, even Emperor Samovi did not value civilians so much during his lifetime.
Although Faran himself was also a noble, his status had differentiated him from the general nobles, so he had no objection to Ubermo only considering 50% of the nobles, after all, the 50% that were not considered were generally low-level nobles.
After thinking for a while, Duke Isa responded: “I know, Your Majesty!”
“By the way, Your Majesty, Leah is already at sea.”
He only knew that the military had taken action at sea, but he was not very clear about the details, after all, it was the military that was responsible, and it was Viscount Mare who revealed it last time.
Ubermo immediately said “um”, and then said in an unquestionable but slightly gentle tone: “Faran, you can go home first.”
“Yes!” Duke Isa knew that Ubermo had something to discuss with the other two, and Feroza’s military and political affairs were separated, so it was not suitable for him to listen, so he left in a hurry.
Ubemo pondered for a while, then said:
“In the next few days, I plan to go to the archives to look through some information.”
“After that, you don’t have to come to me if you have nothing to do. I plan to travel around the Ferosa Empire and digest the secret medicine at the same time.”
Monaye said solemnly:
“You are the emperor of Ferosa, you should consider your own safety.”
Alfrey said in a lazy voice:
“Your Majesty Ubemo, do you think this is a game? You can’t be so willful!”
Ubemo’s face did not change, his fingers tapped the handle, and then said:
“My father left me a lot of things. As long as I am within the territory of Ferosa, I can return to Fuwei Garden at any time.”
Alfrey was wondering whether Belmode was pretending to be Ubemo in front of her, but she immediately gave up the idea.
Ubemo is a “fire torturer” and Belmode is a “generalist”, which is obviously not the same person. Then Alfrey guessed that since Ubermo had not contacted the outside world before, he might have taken the opportunity to go to Baifeng City, and then developed his subordinates, met Belmode, and gave him the seal that could change his face, so the military did not find the other party’s information.
One thing that Ubermo is not afraid of being exposed is that he has mastered two paths at the same time. He can disguise himself, but he also tries to mislead others to separate himself from “Belmode”. Another point is that the two people who know this news will not spread it everywhere, so misleading them can make their actions more convenient.
“Your Majesty, you need to let Rebettina protect you. She is your knight.” Alfrey said.
Ubermo immediately replied:
“Tina has her own mission, you need to protect Fuer’s safety. As for me, don’t worry too much. No one will know my new appearance, and I will not put myself in danger at will.”
