Shadow Empire Imperial Palace, before the main hall. 阴影帝国皇宫,大殿前。 „Lilith, I must see your highness.” “莉莉丝,我要见殿下。” „Vizersh Prince, Your Majesty with the Imperial Uncle Franky discussion important matter, anybody can not disturb.” “维基尔萨亲王,陛下在与皇叔佛伦茨商议要事,任何人都不得打扰。” „I have the important matter to report Your Majesty, if delays, you can shoulder this responsibility?” “我有重要事情要禀告陛下,如果耽搁,你承担得起这个责任吗？” „Sorry, Vizersh Prince, Lilith is the responsibility in......” “对不起,维基尔萨亲王,莉莉丝是职责所在……” „Pa!” as if resounded has hit the slap on the face sound. “啪！”似乎响起了打耳光的声音。 „Snort! Trivial nearly waits on the officer, dares to prevent me to report the urgent important matter to Your Majesty?” “哼！区区一个近侍官,竟敢阻挡我向陛下禀告紧急要务？” On the face has five red marks Lilith not to dread, waves, will start convenes to guard the imperial palace the Attack signal, Vizersh Prince behind man goes forward one step, has not seen any movement, Lilith felt that the fearful imposing manner oppression comes, for a while is unable to move unexpectedly. 脸上有五道红痕的莉莉丝并没有畏惧,一挥手,正要发动召集禁卫攻击的信号,维基尔萨亲王身后的男子上前一步,还没见什么动作,莉莉丝就感觉可怕气势压迫而来,一时竟然无法动弹。 „Lilith......” in main hall broadcasts the Catherine's sound, Lilith only thinks that oppression the imposing manner is defeated and dispersed instantaneously: „Leads them to come.” “莉莉丝……”大殿中传来凯萨琳的声音,莉莉丝只觉那股压迫的气势瞬间溃散:“带他们进来。” „Yes, Your Majesty.” “是,陛下。” Lilith was bringing Vizersh Prince and accompanies to enter the main hall, in the main hall, Catherine sat well on the throne, what the side sits was Imperial Uncle Franky. When Catherine „closing up”, as the Your Majesty the Empress biological uncle and imperial clan most senior Prince, Franky once absorbed the government affairs by the Prince Regent status generation, afterward Catherine „going out”, Franky turns in resignation immediately, returns the authority to Catherine. 莉莉丝带着维基尔萨亲王和随从进入了大殿,大殿上,凯萨琳端坐在王座上,身旁坐着的是皇叔佛伦茨。在凯萨琳“闭关”之时,作为女皇陛下的亲叔叔和宗室最资深的亲王,佛伦茨曾以摄政王的身份代摄政务,后来凯萨琳“出关”,佛伦茨立刻请辞,将权力归还给凯萨琳。 The age of Vizersh Prince semblance probably about 30 years old, seems the elegant bearing, delicate and pretty uncommon. Looks that on the throne that wears Devil World first beautiful woman Great Emperor of veil, in the Vizersh pupil greedy expression plunders. Bows to salute to say by far: „Your Majesty! Your Highness Franky, please forgive my failure in politeness. Because I have the latest top secret to Your Majesty report.” 维基尔萨亲王外表的年龄大概30岁左右,看上去风度翩翩,俊美不凡。看着王座上那位戴着面纱的魔界第一美女大帝,维基尔萨眸中贪婪之色一掠而过。远远地躬身行礼道:“陛下！佛伦茨殿下,请原谅我的失礼。因为我有最新的绝密情报要向陛下报告。” Catherine such as such had not bestowed the place in the past, rather said one indifferently: „Mentioned listens, Vizersh.” 凯萨琳并没有如往常那样赐座,而是淡然说了一句:“说来听听,维基尔萨。” „I receive the latest news, Fallen Angel Empire three days later......” “我接到最新的消息,堕天使帝国将在三天后……” The Catherine light sound has interrupted his words: „Three days later, will hold the review ceremony, and plans to retransmit to entire Devil World through magic television, is the news that I obtained yesterday the top secret that you said?” 凯萨琳淡淡的声音打断了他的话:“三天后,将举行阅兵仪式,并计划通过魔法电视向全魔界转播,我昨天得到的消息就是你所说的绝密情报？” Vizersh reveals the awkward color: „Originally Your Majesty early has the preparation, it seems like I worried about one white. However, a matter, one month later, Reizen Great Emperor Battle Great Competition will soon convene, at the appointed time Your Majesty should participate.” 维基尔萨露出尴尬之色:“原来陛下早有筹划,看来我是白操心一场了。不过,还有一件事,一个月后,雷禅大帝的武斗大会即将召开,届时陛下应该会参加吧。” Catherine nods the head slightly: „I received the invitation of Reizen own handwriting writing.” 凯萨琳微微颔首:“我已经接到了雷禅亲笔书写的邀请函。” Vizersh said immediately: „This Battle Great Competition no small matter, Reizen will go to battle personally, the bad risk is it may be said that unusual. Perhaps also has mortal danger, the Your Majesty must be cautious consideration.” 维基尔萨立刻说道:“这个武斗大会非同小可,雷禅将亲自出战,可谓凶险异常。说不定还有生命危险,陛下一定要慎重考虑。” „You thought that which aspect I am at to need to give careful consideration? For example...... The candidate of crown prince?” After Catherine veil shows a contemptuous smiling face. “你觉得我在哪方面需要慎重考虑？比如说……王储的人选？”凯萨琳面纱后的露出一个轻蔑的笑容。 „Your Majesty is wise!” Vizersh stern say|way: „Although discussed that this topic somewhat affronts, but as Empire governing, this is the aspect that must consider.” “陛下英明！”维基尔萨正色道:“虽然讨论这个话题有些冒犯,但作为一个帝国的掌控者,这是必须要考虑的方面。” „Good that you said.” A Catherine expression revolution, „you disobey orders suddenly intrude the main hall, for is gives me this so-called ‚reminder’?” “你说的不错。”凯萨琳忽然语气一转,“你违命闯入大殿,为的就是给我这个所谓的‘提醒’？” The Vizersh expression stagnates. Lowers the head saying: „I wholeheartedly am the country, the place of failure in politeness also ask Your Majesty to forgive, my this asked to be excused.” 维基尔萨表情一滞。低头道:“我只是一心为国,失礼之处还请陛下恕罪,我这就告退了。” „Slow,” in Catherine sound were many several points of density: „Had who is it hit the face of Lilith a moment ago?” “慢着,”凯萨琳声音中多了几分森然:“刚才是谁打了莉莉丝的脸？” Vizersh shakes: „Your Majesty, a moment ago was only the misunderstanding......” 维基尔萨一震:“陛下,刚才只是误会……” „Jeff. Old name Tu Sitan, middle-stage Devil Emperor. Mammon Royal Family, is good at Camouflage and shapeshifting technique, ambushes in Vizersh many years, is to regard as the trusted friend, deeply must trust.” “罗杰夫。原名涂思坦,中段魔帝。玛门王族,善于伪装和变形术,潜伏在维基尔萨身边多年,为视为心腹,深得信任。” The Catherine sound lets the Vizersh behind man big quake indifferently, the first response plunges Vizersh. Vizersh unexpected, one was covered the throat by trusted friend Jeff. 凯萨琳淡然地声音让维基尔萨身后的男子大震,第一个反应就是扑向维基尔萨。维基尔萨猝不及防之下,被心腹罗杰夫一把扣住了咽喉。 „Worthily is Catherine Great Emperor, unexpectedly very early in the morning has ascertained my status.” In Jeff hand is sending out the light black air/Qi, „at the Your Majesty eyesight, should be able to see that my Dark Element Strength corroded into the soul of Vizersh Your Highness Prince, is moved slightly, can make his soul dissipate. I only want to leave here now safely, but also asked Your Majesty to give my way out, otherwise, this Your Highness Prince becomes my funeral object.” “不愧是凯萨琳大帝,居然一早就窥破了我的身份。”罗杰夫手上散发着淡淡的黑气,“以陛下的眼力,应该能看出我的暗系力量已经侵蚀入维基尔萨亲王殿下的灵魂中,稍一动念,就能让他灵魂消散。我现在只想安全离开这里,还请陛下放我一条生路,否则,这位亲王殿下将会成为我的陪葬品。” „To threaten Emperor...... You are unqualified.” Catherine shakes the head gently, in black eye ray swept, Jeff shakes unexpectedly, from pinching the hand of Vizersh neck is starting, the body changes to ashes to dissipate piece by piece. “想要威胁一位帝王……你还不够资格。”凯萨琳轻轻摇头,黑眸中光芒掠过,罗杰夫蓦地一震,从掐着维基尔萨脖子的手开始,身体化作一片片灰烬消散开来。 Vizersh is saved from death, tremble has drawn back several steps, stands steadily, does not sit falls to the ground, which also had formerly calm and demeanor. 维基尔萨死里逃生,哆嗦地退了几步,站立不稳,一屁股坐倒在地,哪还有先前的从容和风度。 Catherine despised looked at Vizersh one: „Now, you can ask to be excused, if the next time dares to intrude the main hall again, you know the consequence...... One will exit, salutes the apology to Lilith, this matter.” 凯萨琳鄙夷地看了维基尔萨一眼:“现在,你可以告退了,下一次如果再敢闯入大殿,你知道后果……一会出去,向莉莉丝行礼道歉,这件事就算了。” „Yes, Your Majesty.” Vizersh full Toujin is the cold sweat, tumbled to draw back. “是,陛下。”维基尔萨满头尽是冷汗,连滚带爬地退了下去。 Gazes after Vizersh figure to leave, silent Franky has opened the mouth: „Your Majesty Strength was getting more and more formidable, it seems like that this the harvest of closing up is quite big, but...... If my this pair of old eyes has not misread, that Jeff's Strength corroded into Vizersh within the body, if not treat and cure, Time is long, even if Undying will change the spiritedness will be unclear. In the past Your Majesty or the Princess's time, Vizersh once coveted the Your Majesty beautiful appearance, these years were shiftless, only knew to be opportunistic, this time also presumptuously thought unexpectedly become the crown princes, simply were incurable, brought about own destruction.” 目送着维基尔萨的身影离开,一直沉默的佛伦茨开口了:“陛下的力量越来越强大了,看来这一次闭关的收获相当大,只不过……如果我这双老眼没看错的话,那个罗杰夫的力量已经侵蚀入了维基尔萨的体内,如果不救治的话,时间一长,就算不死也会变得神志不清。当年陛下还是公主的时候,维基尔萨就曾觊觎陛下的美貌,这些年不思进取,只知道投机取巧,这次居然还妄想成为储君,简直是无可救药,自寻死路。” „Imperial Uncle has been blazing with anger.” Catherine shows a faint smile, she a moment ago was intentionally, Vizersh has coveted her beauty and back throne. If there is ability really but actually, is a waste material, ability and fondness of countryside does not match, is only that Prince status is somewhat special, the present is the crucial phase, to provide against contingencies, Catherine make a prompt decision, has strangled this Prince creates the hindrance with the hand of enemy to Empire the possibility. “皇叔一直目光如炬。”凯萨琳微微一笑,她刚才是故意的,维基尔萨一直觊觎她的美色和背后的王座。如果真有才能倒还罢了,偏偏是个废材,能力与野性根本不匹配,只是那个亲王身份有些特殊,现在是关键时期,为了以防万一,凯萨琳当机立断,借敌人的手扼杀了这位亲王的对帝国造成妨害的可能。 Franky sighed: „My this whole life has misread a person, has almost harmed my daughter life, I regretted very much initially had not obeyed your advice.” 佛伦茨叹了一口气:“我这辈子就看错了一个人,几乎害了我的女儿一生,我很后悔当初没有听从你的劝告。” Catherine knows who is it that he said that comforts saying: „Ok. Imperial Uncle, the matter passed in the past. Heard that now Maidlow had found the man of admiring.” 凯萨琳知道他说的是谁,安慰道:“算了。皇叔,过去事情都过去了。听说现在梅迪璐找到了心仪的男子。” The Franky forced smile said: „Not to mention, that bastard fellow...... Oh, in any event, but Maidlow was stabilizes now, was good, did not say this, we continued the topic.” 佛伦茨苦笑道:“别提了,那个混蛋家伙……唉,无论如何,但梅迪璐现在算是安定下来了,好了,不说这个,我们继续刚才的话题吧。” Catherine nods: „Generally speaking, reviewing troops secretly is conducted. Even if some celebration, is only reviewing troops formally. Now the Three Great Empire ceasefire agreement will soon expire, but Fallen Angel Empire at this time, announced suddenly through magic television entire journey live transmission reviewing troops, does not know that is actually any intention. Only if Sia can put out to frighten Reizen or my military force, otherwise, this reviewing troops will only outsmart oneself...... Why does not know. I am somewhat disturbed, always felt that has probably any important matter to occur general.” 凯萨琳点点头:“一般来说,阅兵都是秘密进行的。就算是某种庆典,也只是形式上的阅兵。如今三大帝国的停战协定即将到期,而堕天使帝国忽然在这种时候,宣布通过魔法电视全程直播阅兵,不知道究竟是什么用意。除非希亚能拿出震慑雷禅或者我的武力,否则,这种阅兵只会弄巧成拙……不知道为什么。我有些心绪不宁,总感觉好像有什么大事要发生一般。” Franky frowned said: „Properly speaking the present is the tranquility before storm, regardless of regarding Your Majesty or Sia and Reizen, is not the good opportunity of getting rid, as for Vizersh is just the petty action.” 佛伦茨皱眉道:“按理说现在是暴风雨前的宁静,无论对于陛下或是希亚和雷禅,都不是出手的良机,至于维基尔萨只不过是小动作罢了。” „Good,” Catherine cannot find out the reason why: „Possibly was I considers thoroughly.” “不错,”凯萨琳也想不出所以然来:“可能是我多虑了吧。” At this time. Lilith walked in a hurry: „Your Majesty, Minister of Finance Eyre has the urgent situation interview.” 此时。莉莉丝匆匆走了进来:“陛下,财政大臣艾尔有紧急情况求见。” „Makes him come.” Catherine slightly one startled, can be called „urgent situation” by Eyre, definitely is not the common matter, therefore Lilith catches up to notify under the balance directly. “让他进来。”凯萨琳微微一惊,能够被艾尔称为“紧急情况”,肯定不是一般的事情,所以莉莉丝在权衡之下直接赶来通报。 Soon. Minister of Finance Eyre walks into the main hall, Eyre is a thin and tall middle age. The astuteness of whole face, but the present expression somewhat is frightened: „Your Majesty, is not good, the bank had an accident!” 不久。财政大臣艾尔走入大殿,艾尔是个瘦高个中年。满脸的精明,只是如今的表情有些惊惶:“陛下,不好了,银行出事了！” „Bank?” Catherine one startled, initially proper order ordered imitates Fallen Angel Empire to set up the state bank the time, she in „closing up”. When she goes out, the bank has spread each territory, because Three Great Empire vigorously is setting up the state bank . Moreover the income of bringing is quite considerable, therefore Catherine has not denied Franky this government order. Since the bank develops, deep popular, almost everybody has the Magic Crystal card. “银行？”凯萨琳一惊,当初弗伦次下令效仿堕天使帝国设立国家银行的时候,她正在“闭关”之中。等她出关时,银行已经遍及各个领地,由于三大帝国都在大力开办国家银行,而且带来的收益相当可观,所以凯萨琳并没有否定佛伦茨这项政令。银行发展至今,深受欢迎,几乎人人都持有魔晶卡。 „Is this, the bank floating capital started to contract for various reasons, but near section Time Three Great Empire each corner is spreading the rumor, said that is the ceasefire agreement expires, Three Kingdoms once more will soon launch the war, once goes to war, the currency will depreciate, food that at the appointed time white crystal coins can buy possibly takes black crystal coins to buy wait / etc.. Although this rumor once gradually subsided with regional efforts, but does not know that for these days why erupts suddenly violently, the person of taking the money are getting more and more, starting from this morning, the entrance platoon of Imperial Capital each bank the long team of taking the money, if this had continued, magic crystal coin of bank reserve will quickly run out, once does not have money to take......” “是这样的,原本因为各种原因,银行流动资金已经开始收缩,而近段时间三大帝国各个角落都在流传谣言,说是停战协定到期,三国即将再次发动战争,一旦打仗,货币就会贬值,届时一个白晶币能买到的食物可能要一个黑晶币才能买到等等。这种谣言虽然一度曾在各地的努力下渐渐平息,但这几天不知道为什么忽然猛烈爆发,取钱的人越来越多,从今天早上开始,帝都各个银行的门口都排起了取钱的长队,如果再这样下去,银行储备的魔晶币很快就会告罄,一旦无钱可取……” In the event of this situation, may not only be the Empire credibility greatly damages, will also cause a series of fearful consequences, Catherine wants to understand immediately the gravity of this matter, complexion becomes incomparably dignified: „If utilizes the emergency fund of state treasury, how long can insist?” 一旦出现这种情况,可不仅是帝国的公信力大损,还会带来一系列的可怕后果,凯萨琳立刻就想明白了这件事的严重性,面色变得无比凝重:“如果动用国库的应急资金,能够坚持多久？” „First did not say each territory, on situation of Imperial Capital bank, most three days,” Eyre smiles bitterly saying: „If raging tide of this taking the money continues.” “先不说各个领地,就帝都银行的情况来看,最多三天,”艾尔苦笑道:“如果这种取钱的狂潮继续下去的话。” „Will the gap so be why big?” Catherine shakes, Franky also reveals color with amazement, this simply like a sudden attack, and quite fatal. “为什么缺口会这么大？”凯萨琳一震,佛伦茨也露出骇然之色,这简直就像一个突如其来的打击,而且相当致命。 „Before this rumor emerges, had many amount huge loans, moreover what signs is the long-term agreement. According to the recent investigation, the bank in each territory as if also has this situation, I suspected...... Some people operate intentionally.” “在这股谣言兴起之前,曾经有过多笔数额巨大的贷款,而且签订的是长期协议。据最近的调查,各个领地的银行似乎也有这种情况,我怀疑……是有人故意操纵。” „According to somebody's view, this probably crushes the camel the last straw.” The Catherine's vision shivered slightly, as if there has thought of anything from „somebody”, „Eyre, two matters. First, immediately assembles all utilizable funds to deal with this crisis \; Second, investigates the details as well as the fund whereabouts of these long-term loan heads of household. Regardless of any method, must go through the difficulty!” “按照某个人的说法,这就好像压倒骆驼的最后一根稻草。”凯萨琳的目光微微颤抖了起来,似乎从“某个人”那里想到了什么,“艾尔,两件事。第一,立刻调集所有可利用的资金应付这次危机\;第二,调查那些长期贷款户主的详细资料以及资金去向。无论用什么方法,一定要度过难关！” „Compliant!” “遵命！” „Lilith, you convene Minister to come to the main hall to attend the emergency meeting immediately.” “莉莉丝,你立刻召集大臣们来大殿参加紧急会议。” After Lilith and Eyre leave, Catherine took a deep breath, gradually calm: „Imperial Uncle, it seems like we expected mistakenly, under situation that in this type was most impossible to get rid , the match has gotten rid unexpectedly, moreover this struck, has hit our unexpected vitals.” 莉莉丝和艾尔离开后,凯萨琳深吸了一口气,渐渐冷静了下来:“皇叔,看来我们都料错了,在这种最不可能出手的情况下,对手居然出手了,而且这一击,击中了我们意料之外的要害。” Franky nods heavily: „Truly accidental/surprised, moreover unexpectedly is such unprecedented method, is simply virtually impossible to guard against!” 佛伦茨沉重地点点头:“确实意外,而且居然是这样前所未闻的手段,简直防不胜防！” „If I guess well, Reizen now definitely also with our same headache.” Catherine shakes the hand of throne arm rest to be somewhat tight, „good not to see fatal Attack of blood! I understood, originally when the Three Kingdoms ceasefire agreement, he has been planning this to strike...... That damn fellow!”( To be continued.
