"Hello Vic, just call me a skull, that's what everyone who knows me. You know that my hometown is not in AXavier, Chi is my surname, and my hometown puts my surname first. Chi Gu spread his hands and explained.

Kassel and Vic were a little surprised, for this was the first time they had heard of the custom of putting the surname in front of them.

"Forgive my ignorance, it's really the first time I've heard of such a custom, and it seems that I'm really unheard. Where is your hometown, Lord Scarbone?, isn't it on the North Road?" Vic was infected by Scarbone's easy-going manner, and omitted some honorifics and honorifics in his speech, but years of military camp life still made him not omit the suffix "Adult".

Hearing Vic's question, the originally smiling Chi Bone's expression became a little lost.

Chi Gu looked out of the window a little distracted and said: "I don't know where my hometown is now, an accident made me live here, in fact, the first person I saw was Dalles, you should be able to hear my accent is a little strange, in fact, I didn't know the lingua franca half a year ago." I've been trying to find my hometown, but even the well-informed Grandpa Wilson hasn't heard of it. ”

Cassel patted Chibone's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Relax and relax, you will definitely find your hometown." The vastness of this world is unimaginable, and a person's experience is limited after all, as long as your hometown is still in this world, you will definitely be able to find it. ”

After all, Chi Gu is not a sentimental person, he smiled heartily and said, "So this is the main purpose of my visit to Orion, Grandpa Wilson said that there may be an answer here that I want to know." I'm mentally prepared and maybe the process will be tough, but I'll definitely find it. ”

"You will, the Orion Empire has a long history, and it is one of the oldest Terran nations that still exist on this continent. And for thousands of years, there have been many exchanges between various ethnic groups and countries, and you may know that people from your hometown are among them. Vic cheered him up.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things that make us sad. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the royal city, but fortunately, I have your help, thank you for everything you have done for AXavier. If it weren't for you, oh my God, I wonder what the kingdom would have become. Speaking of this, Cassel's brows furrowed unconsciously, and he looked a little worried.

Chi Gu saw that Cassel was a little worried, but it was obviously not the case, so he wondered, "What's wrong? General Cassel, is something wrong?"

Cassel didn't speak, but Vic opened his mouth and said, "AXavier is not in a good situation right now, and the war with the Shadow Empire has been going on for too many years. Although our Majesty is merciful and does not charge a high war tax like other countries, AXavier is only a small country after all, and although I am not a treasurer, I think there should be nothing left in the kingdom's treasury.

If the war continues for a few more years, the kingdom will only be forced to increase the war tax, which no one wants. The war took away too much labor, and war taxes only made life more difficult for the people.

It is for this reason that the Lord of Kassel has not accepted the reward from His Majesty the King, and we have tried our best to reduce military spending, but this will not solve anything. ”

When Chi Gu heard this, he suddenly realized something. He suddenly understood the reason why His Majesty, as the head of a country, did not live as well as some of the great nobles in the country. Chi Gu is really a little glad for the people of AXelville, how can it not be a lucky thing to have such a king who loves his people like a son, no wonder the Grimm royal family is so vocal in Aegville.

Puzzled, he asked, "I can understand why the kingdom is joining this war, can't the O'Lane Empire see our predicament?

"Orion is now a weak lion, but even if he is weak, he still has enough meat to eat. The Orion Empire will also pay a portion of its military spending, but this is not enough. The alliance of countries is not monolithic, except for a few principalities that only contribute money and do not contribute, there are only three kingdoms of Noah Lanci, Axavier, and Zessel, of course, there are also those desert tribal alliances, but they have always been poor and only contribute money, and the empire has to give them a large commission every time in order to invite them to join. ”

"If the Orion Empire is a weak lion, then Noah Lancy is a hungry wolf who has awakened.

Once when Orion was at its strongest, Noah Lancy was walking on thin ice, always worried about Orion's devouring, only to offer a large amount of goods to Orion every year, and always tried his best to befriend other countries, AXavier was also one of them, and even the three kingdoms secretly formed an alliance.

But now that the Orion Empire is no longer able to expand its territory, Noah Lanci has revealed its minions, although they do not dare to do anything blatantly now, but they are always looking for an opportunity, looking for an opportunity to annex AXavier. ”

Grassbone somewhat understood, he knew that only the territory of the Kingdom of Noah Lancy was close to the Orion Empire, and AXavier was sandwiched between Noah Lansi and Zessel. The only way for the kingdom of Noah to expand was to annex Axavier.

General Cassel followed Vic's words and said, "If Noah Lansi wants to become an empire, he needs to expand his territory. To the west is the powerful old empire Orion, to the north is the desolate Desert Plain, to the south is the ancient relic forest and elven empire of Warcraft, and to the east is we and the kingdom of Zessel.

As long as it annexes us, it has a chance to become an empire. The hateful thing is that Zessel can't see Noah Lanci's ambition at all, and always opposes us at every turn. Maybe they've formed an alliance and want to divide up AXavier. ”

The border between our kingdom and Zessel has always been disputed, and even led to several skirmishes. His Majesty the King also personally sent a letter to the Emperor of Orion to protest about this, but the ministers of the empire did not know how much benefit they had received, and it was no longer a reason for their own internal affairs to favor the kingdom of Zesell.

Originally, a few years ago, the Orion Empire had agreed to provide eighty percent of the military expenses of the three countries, which would make Axavier a great burden, and the Orlan Empire could afford it completely.

But Noah Lancy and Zessel unbelievably rejected this condition, saying that since it was an alliance, it should not be left to Orion alone, and as a result, it became the military expenses of each country to take care of itself.

Here's the thing, every time I mentioned military spending at the meeting, they always had a myriad of reasons to shut me up. ”

Chi Gu clenched his fists and asked angrily, "Doesn't the Emperor care about this matter? Doesn't he worry about the breakdown of the alliance, but lets the Shadow Empire take advantage of it?"

Vic sneered: "This majesty only has flattery and Noah Lansi in his head to pay tribute, and the daily court meeting has become once every three days, and he can't wait for the court meeting every ten days to be satisfied, if it is Prince Xia Zuo......"

"Shut up, you can talk about these things, too!" General Cassel suddenly slapped the table and glared at Vic fiercely, preventing him from continuing.

Vic only pouted and said no more, but it was clear that he was very unhappy with His Majesty the Emperor.

"It's just that there are too many voices in the empire that are biased over there, and the military spending reported by the Desert Tribal Alliance continues to increase every year, and this matter is enough for His Majesty the Emperor to worry about. Although Cassel was dissatisfied, he tried to hide his anger.

Seeing that Vic faintly mentioned Prince Xia Zuo, he had also heard this capable prince from Quinn's mouth before, so he asked, "Can't our majesty try to seek Prince Xia Zuo's help?"

Cassel shook his head and said solemnly: "No, no, no! The empire is faintly divided into two factions, and Prince Xia Zuo and His Majesty the Emperor have many supporters.

It is said that Prince Chazzo told the Emperor several times about Noah Lanci's ambitions. Therefore, Noah Lancy and Zesell have spoken ill of Prince Xia Zuo behind their backs, and this is a good opportunity for them to divide the Orion Empire. ”

Therefore, we cannot turn to Prince Xia Zuo for help, who knows what they will say in front of His Majesty the Emperor. The Imperial Empire's pool of water is too deep, and AXavier can only remain neutral.

You're going to be going to live here for a long time to come, remember, don't get involved. Otherwise, not only will you be crushed, but you will also implicate AXavier.

If one day you do get involved, then you have to represent you personally, and the kingdom can't help you in any way, you know? I know you're very good, but please keep a low profile, the more eye-catching you are, the easier it will be to get into the eyes of those who have a heart. ”

Chi Gu nodded solemnly, this is not the first time someone has told him this, and Brother Quinn has said such things before. Although he is not deeply involved in the world, he does not understand politics. But he is not a fool, and through previous conversations, he also understands the stakes between them.

Cassel exhaled heavily, easing the heavy atmosphere, his brow furrowed, and a gentle smile returned to his face.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. It is my sin to let a young man full of vitality listen to these deceitful stories. You just need to understand and don't think too much. Cassel turned to Vic and said, "Vic, you go and get some food and drinks in the kitchen, and we'll have a drink with him later." ”

Vic happily stood up and nodded, "Haha! Don't worry, my lord, I'll prepare the strongest wine!"

"Your Majesty's letter mentions that you came to the Orion Empire to enter the Imperial Academy?" asked Cassel again.

Bone nodded and replied, "Yes, after that incident, I realized that this world is much more dangerous than I imagined. I need to be stronger to be able to find my hometown, and now I have more reasons to protect my other hometown!"

"Another hometown?" Cassel wondered.

The Bone looked at Cassel with a determined look in his eyes and said, "That's Acewell." ”

Kassel was a little excited and relieved, and there was nothing more joyful than discovering someone who shared the same ideals.
