Chapter 24: Charlemagne and the Snake of the National Teacher
Back at his palace, Charles III finished changing his clothes as quickly as he could, and lay lazily on the sofa in his bedroom.
On a whim, Charles III, who deliberately went to test Ives in person today, looked tired at this time.
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's the wisest choice for you to say the 'Star Stone' at the academy's ceremony. ”
The recorder, dressed in a black robe, stood respectfully to the left hand of Charles III, and said as he took notes.
"Instead of making those guys suspicious, let's make this matter public, and my ears can be quieter. ”
At this time, Charles III did not have the pleasant face in the academy, and there was no doubt in his tone.
"But ......"
The recorder seemed to want to say something more.
"No, 'Viper', you know, you are the only one in the entire empire who dares to say 'but' to me, but this should not be the matter I have decided. ”
Charles III rubbed his brow and said to the recorder.
"Yes, my majesty. ”
Obviously, it is impossible for Alex to wait for the "Viper" in his heart at the gate of the courtyard.
Only this time, the recorder's voice was calm, and there was no mechanical hoarseness.
"By the way, did you see anything earlier? ”
Thinking of the trembling little magician, Charles III couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this kid is really interesting.
"Back to Your Majesty, he was really nervous at the time, but his psychological defense line did not collapse. The Soul Search technique didn't see any clues. In his mind, I saw only a vague fog. ”
"Viper" did not make any excuses, and said truthfully.
"Oh, you can't even see clearly?"
The "Viper" answer lifted King Charles' spirits, straightened his body, straightened his body slightly, and sat up a little.
"Yes, however, I'm sure I'll get the answer you want if I were to meet him alone and start the soul search technique thoroughly. ”
The black-robed "Viper" continued.
"This ...... Forget it. After pondering for a moment, Charles III waved his hand, but still rejected the suggestion of the national teacher, and then a smile suddenly appeared on Charles III's face. "Now our empire's intelligence system is too lagging behind. It was also this morning that I found out that this boy, who was only fifteen years old, was already a magician of the Golden Realm. ”
"It's really talented. The Viper remained calm and did not show any mood swings.
"Hahaha, it's a great thing that such a kid can appear in my Garrod Academy, not the Quentin Academy of those magicians. ”
As he spoke, Charles III took the tea he had at hand, added a little teaspoon of salt and pepper as well, and drank it into his throat.
After a moment, Charles III continued: "Let Berold go and block the news."
Even the small country of Limu, including those who fought with him, should not be revealed.
I don't want our little magician to end up being chosen by the Phtia Alliance as a bargaining chip with the Helios Holy See.
Now I think it's fitting to let the granddaughter of the old fellow be a 'saint'. ”
"Yes, my majesty. The Viper replied respectfully, but after a moment of silence, he also offered some of his own opinions. "However, Your Majesty, he seems to be on good terms with Durrou Randolph. His identity as a contractor of the Phurethia Alliance was also handled by Duru. ”
"Yes, it's a bit of a hassle, but it's better than having something to do with that Helios Sect. ”
Charles III actually did not dislike the Phetia Alliance, but admired those magicians who were really capable.
"My Majesty, with all due respect, I don't think it is appropriate to leave this matter to Berold. I think...... He is not suitable for the position of military advisor. In my opinion, he is more of a conspirator and careerist. ”
After Charles III re-brewed a new cup of tea, Viper bowed his head and said.
Obviously, giving advice to the emperor, even if it is as strong as a "poisonous snake", is under very great pressure.
"Don't be ashamed, my dear national teacher. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. As for Berrod, he's doing things well, that's all. Leave this matter to him. ”
Charles III smiled and shook his head, his two right-hand men did not seem to be in harmony.
......
"What would you think of handing over the 'preamble' to that kid named Avis?"
After a short period of silence, Charles III suddenly asked the viper.
"No!!"
The poisonous snake, which had always been pampered and not frightened, suddenly raised its head, trembling all over, as if it had heard something incredible.
The poisonous snake, which has always been the most ceremonial, even lacks "My Majesty" from the mouth.
"This thing has been in this palace for decades, and even you haven't found any clues. As for the so-called royal magicians who hold my money, it is not worth mentioning, so it is better to leave it to others to see. ”
At this time, Charles III's attitude became easy-going, and he was obviously a little surprised by his crazy thoughts for a moment.
"What about the Noxa people, the Sun God Holy See knows it, and you can't bear this pressure. ”
The Viper tried his best to calm his emotions and try to persuade his Majesty not to be too presumptuous.
"You can help with a little bit, help our genius magician. ”
Charles III buried himself in the sofa again, and after his mind was decided, he relaxed all over. "Actually, I've long wanted to give the 'preamble' to the Phettia Alliance!
Let them study and see if they can see what they can find.
Now that I have such a fun little guy, I think I can try it.
Young people's minds are much more open than those of us old guys. ”
"Well, my majesty, I'll do my best to arrange it. ”
found that his Majesty the King had made up his mind, and the poisonous snake did not continue to entangle.
He didn't believe that the little guy named Ives could solve the secret of the "preamble".
But the orders of his own king, he will fulfill them unconditionally and without discount.
"You say, if I knight this little guy now, will there be something wrong. ”
Charles III was obviously interested, and the Chaya Empire, which had not had a major battle for decades, was not much interested in him.
"Yes, Your Majesty can decide at will. Moreover, I think it would be a very good deal to be able to keep him in our Chaya Empire if he was given a knighthood. ”
After the topic jumped over the "preamble", Viper replied again unfazed and respectfully.
"Exactly, I don't think Ania Alctor Therosa would give his son to me so easily. I think her wish is to go back to where she came from. Charles III touched his chin and sighed before continuing. "Sure enough, those guys from the 'Devil's Sea' are so troublesome. ”
Viper didn't answer, but continued to stand respectfully, then doing his job as a recorder. Soon, in the whole room, only the sound of brushing and recording could be heard.
"I'm tired, Viper, go about your business. Remember to take care of that child, I am still very optimistic about this little guy. ”
After another moment, Charles III yawned and waved at the viper.
"Yes, my majesty. ”
In an instant, the viper disappeared into the room, and the notebook lay quietly on the long table in Charles III's room.
"A 15-year-old Golden Realm magician,
Defeat Colin's flaming twin swords,
The only witness to the rampaging of the Star Stone,
Contractor of the Phutea Alliance,
Durrou Randolph's New Year's Friend,
A soul that even a poisonous snake can't see,
Son of Aynia Thelosha. ”
King Charles held in his hand a copy of the information provided by Berold, and then crossed his fingers to count the deeds of this little fellow one by one.
"Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting guy.
Let me see what you can do!
Don't let me down!"
