Chapter 426: Deterrence
"Why should I call you Daddy!" asked Harpott, angrily!
Yin Bing slapped himself on the forehead, "I mean let you call them mom and dad, they want to accept you as a godson!"
Harbot was a little stunned and asked again, "What is a godson?"
The queen smiled and said, "Although you are not our biological son, we are willing to care for you, love you, nurture you, and pay for you like your parents!"
Yin Bing scolded Harbot again, "Hurry up and agree!"
"But I have a mother, my mother is a white ......"
Yin Bing stepped on Harpote's foot and told him to shut up, and then Yin Bing said to Harpoter, "Yes! Of course you have a mother, we all have it." Your mother gave birth to you and raised you, but this does not conflict with recognizing your godmother and father, you can still recognize the king and queen as your parents, you just have one more pair of people who love you!"
"Yes, Grand Magister Yin Bing is right, your original parents are still your parents, and we want to love you as much as your parents!" the queen said.
"Hurry up and agree!" Yin Bing stabbed Harbot again and winked at him.
Although Harbot didn't know what Yin Bing meant by blinking his eyes, he finally understood that Yin Bing had another deep meaning, so he nodded and shouted to the queen, "Mom!"
But he couldn't shout "Dad" to the king anyway, and the part of Yin Bing's brain that made up nonsense began to spin at high speed again, and he was trying to find a reason to prevaricate, but he didn't expect the queen to relieve the siege. She started crying!
The queen's beautiful blue eyes were like a pool full of water, overflowing, and the king immediately patted her on the back to comfort her, but to Yin Bing's surprise, he saw that Harbot also burst into tears.
Yin Bing didn't know why Harbot was crying, and Harpoter himself didn't know why he was crying, but when he saw the queen crying, his heart was very uncomfortable and he couldn't help crying.
Harpoter's cry, the queen was a little panicked, she wiped her tears with her hands, came over and hugged Harpott, "Children don't cry, from now on, you will also have a person who is loved by your parents." Come, don't cry, I'll take you to see our home!"
With that, she took Harpott's hand, curtsy to the king and Yin Bing, and walked out.
The king was also very excited, his eyes were red, but after seeing the queen go out, he wiped his eyes, and then remembered that there was another Yin Bing on the seat. He was a little embarrassed, and turned his face to find a topic to ease the atmosphere, but saw Yin Bing's serious face, "Your Majesty, now we are a family, you don't have to hide anything from me, let's talk about preparing for war!"
The king was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Yin Bing Grand Magister is really a smart person, and he must not be a mortal if he can travel from another continent to us!"
You read that right, Gugad may be going to war again. Twenty years ago, I signed an armistice agreement with the allied forces of Germany, Moran, Bangladesh and Thailand, stipulating that we will not invade each other for 20 years, and next year will be the last year of the contract!"
"How has the situation in the three countries changed in the past 20 years?"
"Our national strength has become stronger, but the three countries have the discovery of two countries, and Bangladesh and Thailand have developed relatively steadily, and they have also recovered from the emptiness of the post-war period. ”
"Then what is the basis for saying that there is to be a war?" Yin Bing continued to ask.
"Four years ago, these three countries began to quietly prepare for war, their magic academy began to expand a large number of new students, their economy is obviously growing every year, but the living standards of the people have not improved in the past four years, because they have invested all their money in armaments. ”
Yin Bing nodded after hearing this, "It seems that they did make a move, why do they want to take your place?"
"Because Gugadian has always been the western fortress of the Magic Continent and the economic center. What's more, there is a legend in the Magic Continent that says that Gugad will produce a generation of great kings, and he will lead the Western Alliance to sweep across the entire Magic Continent and produce a unified country!
This legend has been passed down for a long time, and it is obviously a very ethereal legend, with neither a point in time nor evidence to stand on. However, many strange things have been added to the circulation, such as the theory that there is a treasure left by a dragon, and there are not only countless money and jewels, but also countless great magic books with forbidden spells.
There is also a theory that a holy woman was born in the Council of Gugad, who could use any line of magic and reach the level of a holy magister, and that she would assist the great king in achieving ultimate unity. ”
Yin Bing frowned, "But this legend has been passed down for so long, hasn't anyone found any clues about the Dragon Treasure or the Holy Maiden, why do they still believe it?"
The king shrugged his shoulders, "People always tend to get something for nothing, and so do kings, and such a legend can be said to be everyone's wish, and kings naturally want to get the kingdom of Gugad.
Twenty years ago, China and the coalition forces of Germany, Moran, and Bangladesh and Thailand had been fighting for three years, and if they continued to fight, it would only allow other countries to take advantage of the situation. The fact that we signed the armistice agreement is not because of how heroic I fought were, but because I made it clear to them what was at stake and made them realize that if we continue to fight, it will not only be our Gugad but the four countries that will die. ”
Yin Bing nodded, "I understand, do you have any plans now, what do you need me to do?"
The king looked at Yin Bing meaningfully, "My plan? I don't want to fight." I have been regretting it for the past two years, that my armistice agreement had shortened the time, and that it would have been better if it had been set for 50 or 100 years!
The king laughed helplessly.
Yin Bing understood the deep meaning of the king's words, "Then does my appearance now bring a ray of life to your plan?"
The king laughed, "Mr. Yin Bing is such a smart man, when Joseph reported to me yesterday, I almost broke out in a sweat, thanks to you being a man, otherwise I would have thought the prophecy had come true!"
Yin Bing smiled faintly, "In order to surrender the army without a fight, so in order to win me over to stand in your camp, you recognized Harbot as your godson, in order to keep me completely and let me die for you." Right?"
"No, not exactly, dear Yin Bing Grand Magus, I do mean that. I don't like war, and I've never been a bloodthirsty man, much less an ambitious monarch. Although the unification of the Magic Continent may be the dream of the vast majority of the monarchs of this continent, I am relatively unproductive, I don't like it.
Because I have experienced wars, I have seen too many people lose their families and be displaced for the sake of the monarch's own selfish interests, an ambition, and a dream, and countless mothers have lost their sons, and countless wives have lost their husbands. I just want the people to live a prosperous life under my rule.
But surrounded by the powerful, if we don't have the power to protect ourselves or deter others, then sooner or later we will destroy the country, and your appearance brings me hope, with your joining, I think if they want to attack Gugad, they must consider whether they can withstand your forbidden spell!"
