The apocalyptic wasteland era.
Even for descendants of high-ranking royal families, most people find it difficult to awaken their force field talents after reaching the age of twenty.
Maybe it's a matter of luck.
In the past two hundred years, there has been no powerful night watchman in the Xuanyuan royal family for a long time.
Even the contemporary Emperor Xuanyuan Ren of Great Xia was just an ordinary person.
As an imperial monarch, even though he holds supreme imperial power, his body is still weak and sickly.
Putting aside the power in his hands, Xuanyuan Ren's personal strength is not even as good as that of ordinary farmers.
And this has become a regret in his life...
On the other hand, the regent Xuanyuan Zhong was a young man and became a peerless master rarely seen in the royal family in the past two hundred years.
Also because of this.
Everyone in the Daxia Empire respected him very much, and few people dared to go against him.
His status is not even lower than His Majesty the Emperor.
"How is this possible..."
He raised his hand to wipe away the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.
Xuanyuan Qiong smiled bitterly and said: "You are the regent. Even His Majesty treats you with great respect. Who dares to punish you..."
He has great power and is highly respected.
This was the true status of the regent Xuanyuan Zhong in the Great Xia court.
if not.
Xuanyuan Zhong did not dare to question the increase in taxes. If it were anyone else, he would have been executed by the emperor's order.
"Haha, the little girl is quite interesting."
Smile slightly.
Looking up at the top of the simple wooden house, Xuanyuan Zhong let out a long breath, shook his head and said: "Actually, it was me who asked to come here, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Ah?!" Xuanyuan Qiong was stunned on the spot, his face filled with astonishment.
In her opinion.
This damn place is not only extremely remote, but the environment is also very harsh.
Although there are no guards watching, the harsh living conditions and deserted atmosphere are enough to make people feel crazy.
"Is it surprising?"
He took a sip of water slowly.
Xuanyuan Zhong drooped his eyelids and sighed: "It's rare to find such a clean and good place."
“Beautiful mountains and clear waters, chirping birds and fragrant flowers...”
His eyebrows were raised.
The regent in front of him said with a helpless expression: "At least, there are no overt and secret fights here, and there is no intrigue in the court. When I have nothing to do, I can go out to hunt game, improve the food, and fish in the waterfall and pool not far away."
My nectar is your arsenic.
What Xuanyuan Qiong thought was a ghost place turned out to be an excellent comfort zone for the regent.
I am already tired of all the fights and tricks in the fame and fortune market.
it's here.
This selfless old prince can temporarily not think about Daxia's national policy, let alone have to deal with a bunch of dignitaries and royal relatives.
For Xuanyuan Zhong.
The so-called "confinement house" is not a paradise-like refuge.
"So that's it..."
Only in his teens.
Although the little girl in front of him could not fully understand the regent's grief, which was beyond despair.
But she could feel the other person's deep sense of powerlessness, which was almost exactly the same as hers.
that's all--
The two people's eyes couldn't help but meet together, and they fell into a long silence.
"Well, actually it's nothing..."
He forced a smile.
Xuanyuan Qiong jumped off the bed, came to the side of the regent, and said with a forced smile: "Uncle Huang is right, this place is indeed not bad, we can still have care here, but this wooden house is too old and simple. It’s a bit damaged, it would be nice if it could be repaired.”
He stared at the little girl beside him.
Xuanyuan Zhong remained silent. The sense of oppression derived from being in a high position for a long time immediately made the little girl feel at a loss.
"Uncle Emperor, I...did I say something wrong?" Xuanyuan Qiong said in fear.
He didn't respond directly to the little girl's words, but instead put down the roast rabbit in his hand.
After Xuanyuan Zhong changed the topic, he asked: "I heard from the guards that you were sent here because you contradicted His Majesty's Longwei?"
Startled slightly.
Xuanyuan Qiong's eyes dimmed, and he gritted his teeth before telling the full story of what he had experienced.
"Just because my parents once had the idea of seizing the legitimate son, I have been living a life of being monitored and imprisoned since I was born."
Clench your little fists.
Xuanyuan Qiong's shoulders trembled and she said softly: "I am not willing to give in, I want to be free..."
The huge palace is like a magnificent birdcage, which has already sealed Xuanyuan Qiong's life inside.
She doesn't have much ambition, she simply wants to go outside and experience more people and things she has never experienced before.
But even such a small request would not be allowed by the orthodox royal family of Great Xia.
Everything is for the permanence of imperial power!
"This is life."
He shook his head silently.
Xuanyuan Zhong closed his eyes and sighed: "As descendants of the Xuanyuan family, although you and I enjoy the worship of all people and don't have to worry about our livelihood, at the same time, the things we carry will naturally be heavier than ordinary people. heavy."
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This has been the case since ancient times.
Xuanyuan Qiong's direct ancestors once participated in the competition for imperial power. If they were defeated, their descendants would be like time bombs, which could affect the long-term stability of the Great Xia Empire at any time.
For the sake of the stability of the empire, they, the descendants of the royal family, can only live in captivity.
free--
For Xuanyuan Qiong, it is definitely an out-of-reach luxury.
"Isn't there a way to break this situation?!"
Take courage.
The little girl next to her had a stubborn expression and her eyes were filled with tears, but she did not burst into tears.
"have."
Surprisingly.
The regent did not shy away from this sensitive topic. Instead, he told everything he knew and said, "Become a night watchman, and a very powerful night watchman."
Hear the words.
Xuanyuan Qiong was stunned for a moment, and her trembling shoulders immediately went limp.
"Having relatively strong combat power, as a descendant of your royal family, it is possible for you to be reused by the imperial court and become a magical weapon to defend the Great Xia Empire."
His eyes are as bright as a torch.
Xuanyuan Zhong looked as if he was watching the fire, shook his head and continued: "However, this path also depends on fate."
There was a pause.
The regent glanced at the little girl next to him and said bluntly: "You should know that after the average person reaches the age of twenty, the chance of awakening the biological force field talent is 10%."
"As for our descendants of the Xuanyuan clan, for some unknown reason, the number of people who have been able to successfully awaken their talents over the years has been less than 5%."
