Chapter 357: The Princess's Choice

The reason for this idea is not only that the princess regent has a close relationship with the Eternal Night Lord, but also because the Eternal Night Lord's rise is so fast that people can't believe that they can do it with their own abilities, and it is natural for them to move closer to the way they can understand.

Neither the Princess Regent nor the Eternal Night Commander had any intention of clarifying this misunderstanding.

This made it convenient for them to take the opportunity to seek their own benefits from it, and now Archduke Buck obediently sent it to the door himself.

"Where did you come from so many words?As a senior intelligence officer, don't you think it's inappropriate to use such an adjective?" Sophia gave Amelia an angry look, she was her own intelligence minister.

"Do you think Grand Guild Buck would allow Fresh Faces to get close to his convoy? There are countless bandit cottages that have been trampled by his elite escort along the way, whether they are interested in their convoy or not. Amelia said.

"With such a convoy on the road, the journey is really lively enough. The smile on Princess Regent's face was even bigger.

Wealth touches people's hearts.

Especially when a moving mountain of gold is placed in front of them, the temptation is even stronger.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of the kind of poor outlaws who take risks for wealth, even if there is only a 1 in 10 million chance, they dare to move forward.

For such a big goal, those bandit groups, bandits, and horse bandits who usually commit crimes alone may even join forces.

"I've heard an even more interesting rumor. Amelia's expression became even more eccentric.

"What rumors? Hurry up and say, you know I don't like to sell guanzi. "The princess regent is not interested in that kind of pretentious way, especially those close to her.

Because the old foxes she usually deals with like to say in this way, they always like to wrap people around to show their wisdom and wisdom, and dig traps and wait for people by the way.

It was tiring enough to ponder their minds on weekdays, and she didn't want to ponder the minds of those close to her.

Amelia has followed Sophia for so many years, and knows her habits very well, and replied directly: "Rumor has it that when Archduke Buck's carriage left Carthusian Castle, it was mostly empty, and it was slowly filled with bandits all the way, and it has not yet been accurately determined who robbed whom. ”

"Robbers, can't it?" Princess Regent looked stunned at first, but slowly became thoughtful, "You mean Grand Duke Buck is in financial crisis?"

"It should be, since the slave rebellion led by the Manyu army went south, the Carthusian army has been at war, the Andys have risen under the leadership of Baron Eternal Night, they have lost their main source of slaves, and in recent years, the mining industry of the Carthusian army has shrunk, which is another deep reason why Archduke Buck wants to take the swamp of despair at all costs. ”

Amelia is known as the princess regent's royal living dictionary, not without reason, not only is she familiar with all the laws of the Byron Alliance, but the information collected by the Lancelot royal family will be compiled here and passed on to the princess regent.

Some warlocks use their superior memory to explore the mysteries of knowledge.

Some are used for self-cultivation.

Like Amelia, there are very few, if not the first, cases that are used for intelligence.

Then again, the brain with a super memory does have an advantage in this area that ordinary people do not have.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the inconceivable amount of information can be automatically summarized and correlated with each other when it comes to her, so that some inconspicuous small information becomes very valuable, which also creates her very different and ordinary people's eyes on things.

Like Archduke Buck's peeping at the Swamp of Despair.

"Although the Kingsley family is known for their wealth, most of them are real estate, and Archduke Buck is notoriously extravagant, and the frequent use of money in recent years may indeed drain their liquidity. Sophia nodded approvingly.

"But even if he is in a hurry, the possibility of using this kind of indiscriminate means is not high, even if he is really shameless, those robbers and thieves, can they take out a few catties and taels of oil and water? Sophia was not very impressed by Archduke Buck's remarks about robbing robbers and robbers.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

No matter how bad the Kingsley family's financial crisis is, if you scavenge the treasury, you can still get the gift money.

Even if you can't get real money for a while, those gold, iron ore, and copper ore can still be taken out and given away.

Half a year ago, in order to lure Sean, the ruler of the Eternal Night Army, out of the mountain, Grand Duke Buck once smashed people with three mountains of gold, silver and copper, and it came out with the party's drunken gaffe.

However, it is not a joke, but a beautiful talk, which further established the status of the Kingsley family as rich in the world, and such a big deal is not something that ordinary people can use.

Turning around and robbing the bandits and robbers, it is up to those who spread rumors to think of it.

If those bandits and robbers really have so much wealth, can they still come out and do such a business?

"I think so too, in either case, Archduke Buck is in a financial crisis, which is basically a sure thing, and this may be our chance, an opportunity to get involved in the mining industry of the Carthusian army. Amelia's smile grew with a meaningful smile.

The Kingsley family, who guards a gold mine, has always wanted their own grain land.

But their gold mine is also coveted by others.

The Lancelot royal family has been trying to get involved in the Kingsley family's mining industry, but it has not been able to do so, even if it has been taking the neck of the Kingsley family.

They would rather endure larger-than-usual food prices than let go of it.

Now that Grand Duke Buck has taken the initiative to come to the door, he can't help himself.

Princess Regent's face showed a hint of hesitation, pacing back and forth in the room, and finally shook her head and said: "This matter is not so simple, our relationship with the Eternal Night Commander, others are not clear, you are not clear? ”

"Your Highness is so optimistic about the Baron?" Amelia couldn't help but straighten her face.

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but the facts are in front of us. Princess Regent walked up to the military map and drew a large circle, "Andes Crater and Swamp of Despair, both of them are a little smaller than any of the military lords individually, but once combined, they will be larger than most of them, and those natives of the Desperate Swamp will not escape the fate of being swallowed up from the moment they receive the help of the Eternal Night Commander. ”

Thinking back to the days when she was stationed as a diplomatic ambassador in the Eternal Night Commander, Amelia couldn't help but nod her head in agreement: "The inclusiveness of the Eternal Night Commander is too strong, that kind of united, energetic, stable, and prosperous life is full of endless temptations for those who have suffered from war, whether it is the Andis or the Byrons, including the legendary bloodthirsty and warlike Odin orcs and Kentana barbarians, there is no way to refuse such a temptation, and they will be completely integrated into it unconsciously, and the crocodile people are no exception." ”

Xenophobia, not only between races, but also between regions, and even in different streets of the same city, is often the beginning of contradictions.

This was not at all at all for the Commander of the Eternal Night, but it was undoubtedly much lighter than most places Amelia had seen.

This may have something to do with their territorial culture, or it may be the conscious guidance of the higher-ups.

Whatever the reason, one thing is certain, it will undoubtedly be much easier for outsiders to integrate into this territory.

On the other hand, this kind of inclusiveness is also a kind of assimilation and aggressiveness.

Silently, change one's habits.

Let people of different colors and races speak the same language, have the same living customs, and strive for the same goal.

That kind of situation, just imagining, makes people's blood boil, and then it is endlessly cold.

In Amelia's eyes, this is the most terrifying thing about the Eternal Night Lord.

"The rise of the Eternal Night Commander is already an inevitable thing, and it is even very likely to break the situation that the Byron Alliance has maintained for many years, our relationship with them has already made a good start, how can we sell it for a little petty profit? ”

Princess Regent Sophilia is not so much Amelia listening, but analyzing herself, "The Flying Eagle has sent a message to Baron Sean, tell me about the situation here one by one, and ask for his opinion!"

Before Amelia could reply, she continued: "Amelia, you personally go to the Swamp of Despair to meet His Excellency the Baron of Eternal Night, and you don't need to come back until the war in the Swamp of Despair is over. ”

"Understood. Although the princess regent didn't say it explicitly, Amelia instantly understood the other party's true intentions.

Sophia is doing this without offending the Eternal Night Commander, and to maximize her interests.

The two are not contradictory.

Because the fundamental purpose of the Eternal Night Army Leader is to take down the Swamp of Despair and eat the Kingsley family's Eastern Army, just to reduce one opponent above.

As long as it can ensure that the Eternal Night Army can take the Swamp of Despair, whether or not to eat the Kingsley family's Eastern Army, this matter can be discussed, and it is nothing more than a matter of price.

In the current situation, there is a lot of room for manoeuvre.

If it is done well, it can even achieve a win-win situation, and both sides will have meat to eat.

As for the meat, it was naturally dug from the Kingsley family.

Before the two supreme rulers of the Lancelot royal family and the Kingsley family officially met, the princess regent had already set the tone for this confrontation, and Archduke Buck did not take off a few layers of skin and did not want to get out.

......

St. Ann's Land.

It has many aliases, holy city, sanctuary, sanctuary of the true God, and so on.

In the hearts of the Aetheric See, it is the most desirable holy place, and every year countless believers come on foot from thousands of miles to make a pilgrimage.

Even in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a magnificent and incredible city.

Unlike the royal capital Valesta.

St. Ann's Land is built on top of a mountain.

The only raised place in the plains of Asia Minor.

This mountain is called the Holy Mountain, and it is said that it was the place where the God of Truth preached for the first time and performed miracles for the first time.

Therefore, this mountain has another nickname, the Evangelistic Mountain, and from a distance, it really looks like a pulpit is located there.

Don't look at the mountain is only less than 2,000 meters above sea level, but it is surprisingly steep, spiraling up the stairs, like a ladder in the sky.

There is not only the magic of creation, but also the power of manpower, which has been built day and night for an unknown number of years and generations.

The name of the holy mountain lives up to its name.

As the saying goes, one oracle on the first level, and one church on the first floor.

The whole holy mountain, layered on top of each other, is full of magnificent cathedrals, which are dedicated to various doppelgangers of the God of Truth.

When these cathedrals were built, I don't know how many mirrors and glass were used.

During the day, it sparkles in the sun.

At night, the lights are lit up until dawn.

Even those who are insensitive to the teachings of the Holy Aether Holy See are shocked, not to mention those believers who have faith in their hearts, every believer who has made a pilgrimage here is full of praise, and word of mouth has made more believers yearn for it, and the name of the holy mountain and holy place has spread even farther.

There are a total of 134 large and small churches on the Holy Mountain.

The largest of these is the Cathedral of the Oracle at the top of the hill.

As the name suggests, this church is the closest place to the God of Truth, and it is here that you have the best chance to hear the oracles of the God of Truth.

It is said that the God of Truth has issued four oracles, each of which has far-reaching significance to the Holy Aether Holy See, and has had a great impact on the Byron Alliance and even the pattern of the Ashane continent.

The first oracle was to support the rebel army and resist the tyranny of the ancient Andis Empire, which led to the establishment of the Byron Alliance and the rise of the Holy Aether Holy See.

The second oracle declared that the god of Odin of the Orcs was a false god, and all false god believers should be destroyed, and a large number of Holy See knights joined the Broken Blood Fortress, jointly establishing the strongest defense line of the Byronic people.

The third oracle, declaring that witches were the source of trouble and that everyone had the right to punish them, thus setting off a century-long campaign to eradicate witches, resulting in a direct confrontation between the Holy See and the Witches' Secret Council.

The fourth oracle, when a baby is born, prophesied that this person would be the successor of the next pope, who would lead the Holy See to glory.

The child of prophecy in the fourth oracle is none other than His Majesty Delt, the current pope of the Holy Aetheric Curia.

He is the youngest and longest-reigning pope in the history of the Holy See, this year is exactly a century, and the life span of three generations of ordinary people is not as long as his reign, many people don't even know his full name, only know that when talking about the pope, he must be referred to, and he has become the spokesman of the word pope.

The celebration of the centenary of the succession of His Majesty Deltneon is the most solemn event of the year for the Holy See of the Aether.

As the date of the celebration approached, the Holy Mountain became more and more lively, and cardinals, local bishops, missionaries, etc., from all over the country, who could afford it, traveled thousands of miles to participate in the event.

"Your Excellency Bishop George, I thought you would keep your oath and not return to the Holy Mountain until you civilize all the people of the wild land of Manyu!"

The middle-aged man who couldn't hide his sarcasm in his words was also wearing a luxurious red religious uniform, representing his cardinal status.
