Snowstorm in Zalambra (8)

"This is what the Tenth Prince asked me to give you."

"Ah, thank you, sister, but why haven't I seen you before?"

"I was newly assigned by Her Highness the Grand Princess to His Highness the Tenth Prince."

"Oh, I've heard her say that before."

Coco opened the basket, made a cup of black tea, sat by the window, stroked the kitten, and watched the scenery outside.

She ate half of her dessert, rubbed her eyes, and fell asleep in the dim light.

There were cushions and blankets by the window.

Someone walked over and wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"You look silly. Even if you want to sleep, you should go to bed properly."

The man took the dessert and took a few bites.

Then he carried Coco to the bed.

Christine opened her eyes and slowly sat up.

The sunlight illuminated the curtains.

Aura sat by the window. "Are you awake? Did you have any dreams today?"

This is the greeting between them when they wake up.

Because of Christine's ability, she often had dreams, and they were usually nightmares, so Ola later slept with her.

Christine rubbed his eyes subconsciously and yawned, "No...it was a beautiful dream today."

She was actually very surprised because the content of the dream was not anything significant worth mentioning.

But she didn't pay much attention to it, because even she had some trivial dreams.

[I don’t know if it was one month or three months later, or maybe a few days later…but I didn’t see what the maid looked like, which is a pity.]

"That's great." Ola walked to the bed and sat down, handing her a letter: "Take a look at this."

In the early morning of the night, a rider knocked on the door urgently and woke her up.

Christine was sleeping soundly, so she didn't call her.

Christine immediately read the content and said, "They failed."

She only saw them escape and not their actions.

"But he should have managed to escape."

"It's the same as my prophetic dream."

The first thing Alex and Inger did after getting off the train was to get a copy of the Inter-American newspaper from the newsboy.

They couldn't believe it after watching it.

Inger rubbed his temples.

[Damn, it can't be that unlucky, right? ]

The most eye-catching headlines on the page were the photo of Anlenong Nabuqi chopping off the emperor's head, and the photo of him standing on a platform with injuries, declaring a declaration to establish a new government: power.

It was specifically written below that An Lienong was heroically injured, but his life was not in danger and he was recovering.

[The emperor was beheaded! The world was shocked!]

[The victory of the rebels? The victory of the people!]

[The traitorous knight! The pioneer of the people!]

Such titles that are characteristic of the times are everywhere.

Hearing the newsboy's shout, Chijian jumped out of his scabbard: "It's the Immortal Bird! They have the Immortal Bird!"

Alex stuffed it back.

It is not in their nature to dwell on something that has already failed.

Inger said, "Let's take a long-term view."

On the day Inger and his men assassinated him.

When Tels saw his uncle's heart was pierced, he immediately captured the wizard in the palace and managed to save his life for a while.

An Lienong was standing on the execution platform with high spirits one moment, and the next moment he was lying on the bed dying.

"Stop talking nonsense! Is there any way to save him?"

"Reply...Reply Captain, we have done our best..."

"Squeeze me out of your brains! Or I'll help you!"

Bob Dylan, another knight captain, was just about to punch these old noble wizards in the face.

Tels's breathing was a little trembling: "You just tell me all the possibilities... there will always be a solution."

An old wizard was pulled by the collar, his robes instantly soaked, and he shivered, "Yes, yes, yes, there is a way. There is a diamond gardenia that has been passed down from generation to generation in the clean room of the palace. It is a secret medicine passed down by the royal family and can save lives."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier, you old fool! Are you looking for death?" Bob still beat him until his old teeth broke.

"That's because the flower has not been taken care of for a long time and has withered!" another wizard shouted in despair.

Several knight captains turned pale.

Yes, how could Emperor Sampsis have the leisure to take care of such a thing?

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Just as Bob was about to beat someone to death out of anger, Telles stopped them.

"There is hope." Tels said, "Let them lead the way."

Bob: "What do you mean?"

Tels picked up the girl who was hiding in the corner and said, "Let's go."

They found the diamond gardenia, and just as the wizard had said, all that was left of the plant were the withered stems and the yellow-brown petals that had not yet fallen.

Bob gritted his teeth, wishing he could crush this thing.

"What can you do? It has become like this!"

Tels lowered his head and asked the girl a few questions, and the girl nodded under her hood.

Tels placed her on the table.

The girl took off her hood, her snow-white hair was loose, her eyebrows and eyelashes were pale and colorless, her pale hair matched her pale face, only her eyes were light pink, making her feel weird.

However, the green light released from the girl's palm exudes a strong vitality.

Infused with pure vitality, the dead gardenia sprouted green leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon thereafter bloomed into sparkling flowers, the petals of which were translucent, a shade between white and silver.

Everyone present, except Tels, was stunned by the scene.

They blurted out at the same time: "Spring Bud?"

This is a legend that has been passed down since ancient times in the land of Zalambra.

Legend has it that every once in a while, a special person like this is born.

Their fingers traced the land, and spring grass grew everywhere. Wherever their footsteps passed, brilliant wild flowers flourished.

People like Bubu Shenghua are called messengers of spring bestowed by the goddess on this land of ice and snow. They have a fixed name, the buds of spring.

They brought fruits and vegetables to people when they were hungry and cold, they created a forest on the barren land, and they replaced the white snow with green.

But the successor of Spring Buds has not appeared for so long that most people think it is just a fairy tale read to children.

Tels did not give them time to observe Ninif and said, "Save her first."

Diamond Gardenia does have miraculous effects in saving lives.

Crush the petals and apply them on your chest, and the wound will heal quickly, along with the hole in your heart.

That day, An Lienong opened his eyes.

Although he still had a lot of bruises, blood swelling, and excessive blood loss, as a knight, his physical condition was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He managed to finish his speech, and insisted on returning to his room before collapsing.

This was something that Inger and his friends, who were thousands of miles away, had no idea of.

December 20, 1891

Inger sat at the desk, looked at the documents piled on it, and let out a long breath.

He lay down on the table exhausted.

After writing on and off for several months, he finally finished the text of this "English" book of spells.

It was not difficult for him to write things down from memory, but the difficult part was the various memories that popped up from time to time, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

He has been through a lot this year.

Jason brought him milk tea and dessert, and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Master, you've worked hard, take a rest."

Inger reached for the newspaper under his arm.

Jason smiled and dodged, pushing the cup and plate forward, "Rest for a while and I'll give it to you later."

Inger held the cake in his mouth and continued to lie on the table in a daze.

Jason took this opportunity to organize the manuscript and put it in an envelope.

"Send it to the Pope, right?"

"Um."

He tentatively wrote down some suggestions on typesetting and editing, such as having more clear and easy-to-understand illustrations, less dense text, and adding a clear table of contents index, etc. But because he was not a professional editor, he asked Norihua to recommend several editors and art teachers from publishing houses to go there.

"After you finish eating, give me the newspaper."

Jason was a little helpless, but still handed it to him.

Inger has been reading the newspaper almost every day these days, at regular times in the morning and evening.

The main reason is that too many things happened in just one month.

First, there is the huge change in Zalambra.

On the evening of November 18, 1891, Andrenon announced to the nation and the world that a new provisional government would be formed. They were talking about a government composed of representatives of the people.

In fact, it is clear to most people in the world that the new government in Zalambra is composed of the new bourgeoisie and the cadres of the Knight Legion.

The cavalry legion he led firmly controlled the chaos in the capital, and the entire Zalambra was also in motion, with some rebelling and being massacred, while others defecting and being massacred.

In short, Andrenon adopted an extermination attitude towards the old nobles. The first to be hit were the nobles of the House of Lords. The second was the nobles of the fiefdoms. He incorporated the captured nobles' private armies, but in fact it was not that troublesome. Most of the knights followed him and stabbed their lords in the back in battle.

Anlenon was extremely lenient in treating the soldiers and knights who defected to him, but extremely strict in enforcing discipline.

He stripped all noble knights of their household registration and titles, demanding that they break away from their past and their families. He granted them the opportunity to earn their own living and build their own military exploits—by raiding their own hometowns.

No nobles were spared in this purge.

Farmers and workers spontaneously formed the Farmers and Workers Association. At the request of the masses, the government led by An Lien Nong began to prepare for a constitutional convention, with representatives of the convention elected by the people of each constituency in proportion to the number of people.

The most important article in the new constitution of Zalambra was the abolition of the distinction between nobles, commoners and slaves, and every free man enjoyed equal household registration.

Slavery and the monarchy that had lasted for thousands of years were completely abolished in Zalambra.

The Farmers and Workers Association sent people to smash the factory that produced slave branding tools, destroyed all the branding tools, and organized free wind and cloud tattoos to cover the original branding of the slaves. In order to confuse the distinction, all the knights voluntarily participated in the tattoo.

Originally, people regarded the Knight of the North Wind as the god of war and savior. For a time, this kind of wind and cloud tattoo became a fashion in the streets of Zalambra.

Andrenon followed the example of MacArthur and Levitra and established the Military Council. Congress legislated, the Military Council was in charge of military affairs and temporary government administration, and the trade unions that emerged in various industries carried out supervision because the constitution stated that they enjoyed the legal rights of demonstration, assembly, and strike.

An Lienong gradually distributed the land he had seized from the nobles to the farmers, allocating land according to the number of healthy adults. From then on, they only had to pay the minimum grain tax per person every year.

Then the laws passed by Congress also included the Workers' Labor Security Act, which stipulated minimum working hours and minimum wages and reactivated the social security system.

Now that he had given the order, how could the business tycoons dare not obey? They immediately put up signs and carried it out.

As a result, Salambra has undergone a comprehensive reform from top to bottom.

Thanks to the Knights of the North Wind's powerful actions and domineering control, the entire country did not fall into chaos, but moved forward with drums and gongs.

Most international newspapers strongly condemned it.

The newspaper Inger read was a little different.

"Full Moon" is a recently emerging newspaper, known for often publishing views that go against mainstream opinion, but it seems to be quite popular among the people.

Inger felt that his objective and comprehensive perspective was more to his liking.

It's not a one-sided, black-and-white view.

This chief writer in particular, has brilliant literary talent and often comments on all this in an extremely cold and indifferent tone, his comments are vicious and his words are extremely sarcastic, he often exposes the truth and it is very refreshing to read.

However, it can be seen that he is not on the side of the nobles.

"Erin."

A concise pen name, probably a female name, but it is also possible that it was deliberately chosen as a female name.

【Maybe we can get in touch with each other...】

He turned to the back page, which was not as sensational as the front page. It just recorded some of the situations in Qiu Nie country truthfully.

It can be seen that the Zalambra Revolution had a considerable impact on various countries. Small-scale strikes and demonstrations also broke out in Chuñe. Regarding these situations, some were handled relatively properly. The problematic areas were rectified, treatment was adjusted, the responsible persons were investigated and punished, and the workers were resettled.

But in many places, there is direct violent repression, which only accumulates resentment. After all, the root cause of Qiu Nie is still the aristocratic society.

Inger knew this was just a small prelude.

The flames of revolution will eventually spread across the entire continent of Onerola.

The wheel of time is unstoppable and irreversible.

The only difference is whether they can survive this disaster without bloodshed.
