Chapter 1: Shadows Hidden in the Depths!
Alan looked at the report in his hand and said with a smile: "In the struggle between Peter IV and the Pope, you magicians have also intervened."
LeBlanc looked at Allen, who was sitting calmly in front of him, and said angrily: "Don't think that if I agree to your conditions, I can instruct you to do this and that!"
Alan knew that LeBlanc was obviously still a little resistant to cooperating with Allen, and he didn't want to stimulate her anymore at this time, so he said: "Don't worry, you are still you, if you don't want to, you can leave at any time."
Hmph, LeBlanc snorted softly as if to express her attitude.
Alan didn't dwell on LeBlanc's attitude, as long as LeBlanc agreed to cooperate, then it was enough. In the past few days, Alan has read the information of the Scarlet Rose in detail, and it is only after coming into contact with the information of the magicians that Alan has a deeper understanding of the situation on the mainland.
At present, the seven great powers on the continent, the Luolin Kingdom in the southwest, are accumulating strength. The easternmost kingdom of Arras was in a succession crisis, and the king of Aragon had no heirs, causing several grand dukes in the country to compete for the right to inherit the throne. The Danone kingdom in the southeast, as always, is on the safe side, and obtains living space by providing supplies to surrounding countries. Preparations for war are underway in Parmalat to the north, and it is expected to move south soon. The remaining three central continents, Moslian and Ammusi, have just ended the war, and Domiz has fallen out with the Pope again.
It can be said that the mainland is about to usher in an era of big ****. However, these are not the main concerns of Alan at the moment, and what surprises him the most is the black hand behind the church.
Originally, Allen thought that the church was just competing for interests like the nobles, but according to the information of the magician, the church was actually a pawn of a group of people from the heavenly realm, and it was a tool for the heavenly realm to control the human world.
Eren wanted to know what this celestial realm was like, and what life was like in the celestial realm, but even a magician could not know. LeBlanc tells Alan that no one in this world has truly seen the celestial realm more than the palm of his hand.
Interesting, so funny! Alan discovers that the world is bigger than he ever imagined, much bigger! It is a magical world where there is still a god. Alan suddenly felt excited, as if the passion in his body had been ignited all at once.
"Hey, does the Celestial Realm really exist? Are there humans in the Celestial Realm?" Alan chattered excitedly about LeBlan.
However, LeBlanc has long been annoyed by these questions: "You have asked these questions dozens of times, and I have already told you, I!" No! Know! Road! If you want to know, go flip through the book!"
Alan pouted and said, "Cut, if you don't know, you don't know."
Looking at the nearly human-height documents piled up in front of him, Alan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What celestial realm are these about?"
LeBlanc rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you interested?" I'll move it all over for you. ”
Alan looked at LeBlanc fixedly, and just when LeBlanc thought Alan was going to be angry, Alan laughed instead, patted LeBlanc on the shoulder and said, "Lanlan, you did a good job."
LeBlanc shuddered and immediately shouted, "Who made you scream!" Don't scream!"
Alan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I'm not here to reduce the sense of distance and increase work efficiency." Since you don't want to, forget it. ”
LeBlanc looked weakly at Allen, who was diving into the pile of papers, shook his head, and disappeared into the room.
Manuel looked at the gorgeous manor in front of him, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. When I first met Alan, he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. Dressed nondescriptly, there is nothing to say. All in all, it didn't impress Manuel much.
The second time was on the march, when I met Allen's Red Army. Full morale, excellent armor, and strict discipline all tell Manuel that this is a real army, and the founder of this army is that teenager.
The third meeting was after the conquest of Lower Lorraine. But that's just a rush.
Now that I think about it, I really don't know anything about Alan Ouranos. Manuel thought to herself with a self-deprecation.
Manuel returned to Lower Lorraine and immediately inquired about the outcome of the war, and learned from everyone that it was Alan who turned the tide, defeated Gavin, defeated King Paul, and saved Charles II. The result was undoubtedly a shock for Manuel.
Manuel is almost thirty years old this year, and his son is only two or three years younger than Allen. How could such a teenager do such a difficult thing? In vain, he used to think about competing for power with Allen, but he didn't even understand the situation of his opponent. How can such a strategic, outstanding and extraordinary figure be matched by himself.
Before he could continue to think about it, Alan had already led someone out of the manor to greet him.
Manuel didn't wait for Alan to come to him, but walked a few quick steps to Alan, knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Duke Ouranos, thank you for your rescue, Manuel remembers your kindness."
Alan hurriedly picked up Manuel and said, "Lord Duke is polite. I admire the knighthood of the Duke, so this little favor can still help. ”
Manuel shook his head from the ground and said, "Your kindness to save me, Lord Duke, but you shouldn't let Na Gawen go."
Alan didn't expect Manuel to say such things, it turned out that he just admired Manuel's chivalry, so he saved him by the way, in fact, Manuel is just a microphone for Alan to help Jiawen pass the word, anyone can do this, Alan just wants to be a favor.
Unexpectedly, Manuel turned out to be a person who distinguishes between public and private, which is a rare product in this era, but this can also show that Manuel is indeed a talent.
Since coming to the Otherworld, Eren has suffered from a disease that many time-travelers have, and that is collecting addiction!
Looking at Manuel, this is the second person in this savage world to make Alan feel that this is a hero. As for the first one, it is naturally Jiawen who is in the unparalleled.
Alan nodded, and said with a smile: "Lord Duke, please come in, please allow me to explain to you slowly."
Manuel nodded, and followed Alan into the manor.
After the two of them finished sitting, Alan said: "Lord Duke, I don't know, His Majesty the King of this peace negotiation has been handed over to Zaixia to deal with, so the reason why Zai Xia released Jiawen is actually to end this war as soon as possible." Now we don't have the strength to fight another big battle with King Paul, and since it is useless to stay here, it is better to withdraw our troops. ”
"Oh? But is Gavin willing to make peace?" Manuel asked.
Alan said confidently, "He will!"
Manuel looked at Allen's confident appearance and said unconvinced: "How can you see it?"
Alan glanced at Manuel and said, "Because the country in the north has moved."
Manuel looked at Allen, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He didn't expect Allen's intelligence ability to be so strong, and I'm afraid that only Charles II can know this level of intelligence. And Alan still has the courage to let Jiawen go.
Manuel really felt at this time that he was really a man who could be an opponent with Jiawen. Such a person can only be a friend, not an enemy.
Thinking of this, Manuel had to say with admiration: "The Duke is far-sighted, and I admire it."
Alan laughed: "Lord Duke doesn't need to be polite, and you don't need to call me Lord Duke in the future, call me Ellen."
Manuel nodded and smiled: "In that case, then the Duke can also call me William."
