In the capital of the Iron Nation, the man in blue spent three days to arrive at the capital of the Iron Nation through Noland's teleportation array.
With the influence of the Noland sages in the world, the man in blue was invited to the palace almost the same day he arrived at the capital of the Iron Nation.
The man in blue met the rumored Iron Blood Empress in a study deep inside.
She was wearing a pair of wood-framed glasses and writing something at the desk. When the man in blue knocked on the door and entered, she stopped writing.
"Please sit down, man in blue."
Empress Yekana, who was sitting at the desk, became a lot quieter. The sages of Noland were teachers to Empress Yekana, not officials or outsiders.
After all, she graduated from the wizard tower of the man in yellow. The man in yellow was like a teacher to her.
"Empress Yekana."
The man in blue found a chair and sat down. Then, he took out an origin crystal and put it on the table.
This origin crystal was sealed with a dim gray mist.
"I came to visit you this time to tell you … This plague is not natural. Instead, the Nephilic Judges secretly put some kind of poison," said the man in blue.
"I know. The young king of the Land of Frost told me this," replied Empress Yekana.
"Then … then you should send someone to investigate, Empress Yekana … Find the Nephilic Judges hiding in the dark. This way, the plague will naturally recover." The man in blue said this and stood up. "If you give the order, I am willing to assist in the whole process."
"If the culprit behind the plague is only the Nephilic Judges, this matter will not be so troublesome, man in blue."
Empress Yekana waved her hand, and a huge sand table floated in front of the man in blue. The desert gradually formed a map of the Iron Nation.
"There are other accomplices? If it is in the Iron Nation, your authority should be able to handle it. " The man in blue knew a little about the Empress's means. It seemed that no one in the Iron Nation could disobey her will.
"Are these people the nobles of the entire Iron Nation? The man in blue. "
Empress Yekana's words made the man in blue widen his eyes, but soon his brows furrowed again.
"I don't understand what you mean."
The Sage in Blue was probably the least knowledgeable about politics among all the Sages of Noland. He had spent more than ten years exploring the underground ruins of Noland, and his identity as a Sage was only in name.
"A long time ago, our country was peaceful. The civilians willingly became the nobles' cattle and sheep."
Empress Yekana waved her hand again, and the sand on the sand table turned back into a human holding a goat.
Unfortunately, Empress Yekana's artistic cells were not very good. It took the man in blue a long time to recognize that the thing made of sand turned out to be a sheep, not a creature like a dog or a cat.
"Commoners only need to eat pasture and a certain amount of freedom to survive, while nobles eat their flesh and live a life where they don't need to care about anything else."
Empress Yekana whispered about the feudal era that every country had to go through. Noland and Falosi had already broken away from this situation. Although there had been some changes in the Iron Nation, and the civilians had more power, the power of the old nobles had not been shaken.
"This balance should have continued until a demon created an interesting thing." The magic net interface appeared in front of Yekana, and it was the news on the spellcaster forum. "This thing will let these sheep and cows see in the future that people in other countries can live like a human. Do you think they will continue to be willing to be slaughtered by others?"
"Doesn't the magic net of the Iron Nation need to be maintained by the crystal of the world tree?" The man in blue remembered that there was no magic net in most places in the Iron Nation.
"This is just one of the things that have given me a headache recently, a catalyst … The conflict between the old nobles and civilians, or in Josiah's words … the new 'capitalists' has long begun to deteriorate."
Empress Yekana was also a member of the noble family in the Iron Nation, so she understood how many corpses were buried behind this country that thrived on the magic industry.
The most direct way to eat flesh and blood was that the production rights of many magic industry products on the market were in the hands of the nobles. For this reason, some inventors had to flee to Noland to settle down.
"But is this related to the plague …?" The man in blue did not want to get involved in the political struggle of this country. He only came to find Empress Yekana to solve the conspiracy of the Nephilic Judge.
"The plague. This is the best reason for the nobles to clean up the capitalists, man in blue." Empress Yekana looked down at the files on her desk and said, "Do you know what was the most burned thing in the plague?"
The man in blue shook his head silently.
"Chamber of Commerce, foreign chamber of commerce." Empress Yekana said, "Rather than saying it was burned to control the plague … it was more like robbery, robbery that did not need to be concealed."
When the man in blue heard this, he instantly understood the reason why Empress Yekana did not capture the Nephilic Judge.
"You … you are indulging them!" The man in blue stood up angrily and pointed at the Empress.
In the eyes of the man in blue, Empress Yekana represented the old nobles …
"Indulging? You can understand it that way, but man in blue, I am not on the side of these stupid guys, "Empress Yekana said in a low voice.
"But you are not on the side of the people either." The man in blue quickly calmed down and sat back on the sofa weakly.
"Yes, I am not so kind to save those victims for free and send those Nephilic Judges to the guillotine. I am only doing this to consolidate the power in my hands."
Empress Yekana directly told her ambition to the man in blue. As a caster, she was not weaker than the man in blue, so she could tell that the man in blue did not use the magic network, nor did he have any recording magic.
"The power of the people is terrifying, man in blue … The past history has taught me this day. The power accumulated by the people will sooner or later overthrow those stupid old nobles, along with the royal power of this country," Empress Yekana said.
"So?"
"I want to take back the power in the hands of the old nobles and give it to more capable people! Not these worms that only know how to eat human flesh! "Empress Yekana stared at the man in blue and said this.
The man in blue almost couldn't breathe at this moment. He knew how much power the nobles in the entire Iron Country had. Even the king did not dare to say such arrogant words as "taking back the power of the nobles."
But the man in blue knew that the queen was serious …
"What about yourself?" When the man in blue heard this, he still remembered that Empress Yekana did not intend to abandon the power in her hands that could govern the entire country.
"Worms? No … This country will move towards another glory under my leadership. "Empress Yekana had absolute confidence in this.
The man in blue did not refute Empress Yekana. The prosperity of the Iron Country was really inseparable from the queen's power.
"There's another analogy. The Iron Nation is a huge machine, and everyone is a part of it. The old nobles are useless parts of the machine, but they take up a lot of resources, and I'm the one who replaces them," Empress Yekana said.
The queen may not be a benevolent philanthropist, but she was definitely a qualified ruler.
"Is it not time for your plan to be implemented?" The man in blue finally understood Empress Yekana's plan.
She wanted to use the hands of the people to overthrow the rule of the old nobles, but … there was a fatal flaw in it. That was how to transfer the conflict and hatred of the plague to the old nobles.
In the city where the plague appeared, the local nobles who established the quarantine area were hated and feared by some people, but the other people still expressed support. After all, they were more afraid of these plague infected people.
"I have already started to promote all of this, and there is a good catalyst."
When Empress Yekana said this, a message from Josiah popped up as if he heard her conversation.
