Chapter 249: Dissuasion
"These seem like two things that are hard to do. Add's eyes narrowed slightly, "But it's not too far off for my experience along the way." ”
Let's give her some confidence first, Eddie thought;
"I don't know much about the situation here. Truth be told, I only came to this Blazing City yesterday...... So, can you give us an overview of your thinking?"
"The first thing to be sure of is that this is definitely not something that can be solved by a few people...... Even the adventurers of the city can't compete with those monsters. "Although they have courage, there is a huge gap in numbers and strength;
If they are compared to a litter of wild wolves, then the demonic beasts outside the city are a group of fierce tigers, and it is impossible to win, and even with the addition of noble soldiers, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength. ”
This situation looks difficult to deal with...... But Add knew that he hadn't encountered any dominance along the way—it would be too much easier to worry if that were the case.
"We must rely on the defense of the city and let the soldiers concentrate their forces to attack the monsters outside the city, after one sortie, the monsters may attack the city because of the loss of balance in the area, and then we must rely on the walls to minimize the damage;
The whole process would have been absolutely impossible to complete without the support of the nobility. ”
"And because of your status, it's not good for you to go directly to those nobles, right? Add nodded. ‘
"That's right, even though the status of the Purification Temple here is relatively high, but it is based on 'balance', and if I go to a nobleman, it will make the city lose this balance...... After that, the temple will be suppressed by the other side, and I can't help but be responsible for the sisters. "Then, I will introduce you to the two nobles who are currently in power in the city;
First up is Count Shimmering...... He's the titular ruler of the city, as you should know, and he's a very smart—well, or, hopefully, someone who thinks he's smart. ”
As he spoke, Jasper smiled more complicated—Eddie understood what he meant.
Therefore, he cares a lot about some famous things, and often makes some more arbitrary moves...... But on the whole, he was still responsible for the city, and he knew that he was really not good at some things, so he distributed some of the affairs and power to the other nobles in the city...... Among them, the most powerful is the Viscount of Dark Cloud. ”
When Viscount Darkcloud was mentioned, the expression on Jasper's face changed slightly;
It seems that for her, Viscount Darkcloud is even more feared than Count Shimmer.
"Let's put it this way, he's the most stubborn, principled man I've ever met. Biyu sighed softly and said, "His words and deeds are according to the standards of the nobility, and there is no room for negotiation;
The kind of old-fashioned person...... It's hard to deal with. Even Count Shimmer wanted to give him three points. ”
"But if you can get him, it's basically going to be it?" Eddie asked;
"Pretty much that's it. Jasper nodded, "Viscount Darkcloud doesn't really agree with the fact that Count Shimmer has invited so many magicians, but since he is a subordinate and has no legitimate reason to refute it, he can only suppress it for the time being;
If you could give him a more normal reason and a complete plan, he would have agreed. ”
"That'...... It shouldn't be too difficult to talk to him. Add nodded.
"Not necessarily...... His attitude towards his subordinates is notoriously poor, and even if he is a visitor, he will not give a good face;" Jasper said, shaking her head, "He hasn't smiled in a long time...... Even when confronted by Count Shimmer, he always had a straight face, and he seemed to be slightly dissatisfied with Count Shimmering...... The exact reason for this is not clear. ”
"That's enough. Eddie nodded, "Well, the next thing is to meet Viscount Darkcloud...... Let's hope it goes well. With that, Add prepared to take his leave;
"Well, without further ado. Jasper stood up and sent him off, "I hope you can resolve this crisis in Blazing City......"
......
"Whew. After leaving the Purification Temple, Add let out a long sigh;
"Young Master, you seem to be struggling?" asked Nightstar with some curiosity, "Her attitude is obviously very soft...... Why do you look so nervous?"
"It's nothing, it's just that this lack of planning is too uncomfortable. Eddie wiped the sweat from his head, "Although there is no need to hide it from her, it has become a habit to hide several hands...... It's a bit of a struggle. ”
"The young master is really thoughtful......" Night Star nodded slightly, "This habit has actually been formed;"
"Phew, you'll have to deal with the rest of the matter. Eddie said, "After that, it seems that it takes a lot of computing power to count and sort out the situation of the demonic beasts outside the city, and then calculate the troops placed in various places...... That's where I have to ask for your help. ”
"It's my honor to be able to help the young master. Nightstar nodded earnestly.
She's like this...... It's really not like Heathtim, not just in voice, but also in tone and seriousness......
The two did not return to the inn, but walked straight to Viscount Darkcloud's castle as indicated on the map.
In a city as large as the Earl's City, it was somewhat difficult to rely on a single nobleman to manage it—and as a result, some parts of the city were also divided into viscounts;
Naturally, the viscounts in the city must also have their own castles, although they are not as large as Cangliu City and Steel and Wood City, they can also be seen to be castles—much stronger than those in Fengzhen.
Judging from the overall layout, this place really fits his old-fashioned image, Eddie thought as he looked at the exterior of the castle;
The guards all seemed to be in good spirits—even if there were no enemies in the city, they were not slackening;
The buildings on the outside of the castle do not see any bells and whistles—the flowers, plants, and pictures that were common in the past, are not to be seen here;
Be mentally prepared for this, this can be a tough opponent to deal with;
Thinking so, Add took Nightstar to the castle gate and expressed his intentions to the guards—but as soon as he spoke, the guards rudely interrupted him:
"Visitor, you should show yourself with an open face. ”
He was clearly talking about the night star. Add sighed, there was no choice but to let Nightstar take off her mask;
At the moment when the mask was taken off, not only the guards at the door, but everyone who looked at this side was stunned - that peerless face and this black costume really didn't match, what did you think when you dressed up?
No way, Eddie sighed in his heart, in order not to cause trouble......
