Volume 15: The War of Kings!Chapter 30 Planning

"Lemmon, have you already said anything to the messenger?" After sending Taryl away, just as Lemmon was about to turn to leave, Belinda called out to him from behind.

Lemon didn't show any unusual expression, but turned around calmly and said, "Yes, I just think your thinking is a little too conservative. ”

Belinda sighed and said, "You think so?"

"Bethlehem should not be isolated, there is a great force that comes to us, and they cannot threaten us, and I think it is appropriate to show a little friendship. Lemon responded without showing weakness, he thought that he had done the right thing, and handed over many matters of Bethlehem to Belinda to deal with, he already had a lot of dissatisfaction, but the other party was a priest after all, and he had a deep background in Bethlehem, plus the Rust priest was very supportive of her, he had no way to object.

Belinda shook her head and said, "The black elves are willing to negotiate with us, you know what that means, it means that they can't do without our help, it means that they have to go through us to fulfill their wishes, it means that as long as we put forward more generous terms, they may agree." The farther apart our relationship becomes, the greater the cost they have to pay. ”

"It's just a small benefit. Lemon snorted disdainfully, and said, "I know what you say, but is there a better way to obtain benefits than marriage?"

"Is that what you think?" Belinda gave him a disappointed look and said, "You're just thinking about yourself." ”

Lemmon disagreed, Belinda was indeed thinking about the diocese, but his purpose did not conflict with the growth of the diocese.

He was well aware of his status and identity, and although he was a disciple of his mentor, it was absolutely impossible for him to become the heir of Bethlehem now, and perhaps it would be a few decades before there was a little hope.

But he couldn't wait that long.

In that case, he would have to find another way to expand his power, the Black Elf undoubtedly gave him such an opportunity, and he never thought of betraying Bethlehem, he just wanted his position in the Mentor's mind to be more important after marrying the Black Elf.

Belinda shook her head helplessly, and said, "What can I say? I can only say that your vision is too limited, haven't you figured out which force to befriend and which force to befriend and which force to befriend is something that can only be decided by the Bishop, and what qualifications do we have?"

Lemon was shocked and said, "You mean ......?"

"Whether to cooperate with the surface elves or to form an alliance with the dark elves is something that we must maintain a detached posture before we can gain benefits between them. Belinda glanced at Lemon and said, "Do you remember the surface elf who came here last time?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

Belinda said in a deep voice: "My original plan was to properly leak the news of today's visit of the black elf envoy to the surface elf, and she would be eager to send the news back, so that we just need to wait for the surface elf to come to the door, and how to decide the rest is the will of the bishop, not something we can interfere with, but you have done this, but you have made our position seem to have been biased in favor of the black elves, if they really send a princess, do you refuse or accept?"

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Lemmon's back, he was just very eager to have his own power, although it was undeniable that he was a little anxious, but how could he sit and watch the gap between Janice and him getting bigger and bigger? But after Belinda's reminder, he realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake

How will the mentor feel about himself when he comes back?

"It's not that it can't be remedied. ”

This sentence made Lemon look like a drowning man had caught a rope, and his eyes suddenly looked over for help.

The corners of Belinda's mouth curled up in a wonderful arc, and said, "Although the marriage has not yet been officially confirmed, if we release this news, I believe that the surface elves will be more anxious than us." ”

......

It was a little boy with gray-white eyes, and he seemed a little scared when he saw a stranger, and involuntarily hid behind Howard.

Ulysses saw the source of talent contained in the other party's body at a glance, and the ghostly light in his two eyes seemed to brighten up a little, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect the body you prepared for me to be so distinctive. ”

"This is probably the last remaining god in the world, and the rest of the people have been 'purified' from this world by the Monks' Society. Howard touched the boy's head and said, "I hope you think it's appropriate." ”

Ulysses smiled coldly, he squinted at the little boy, and said, "That's still to wait until later." ”

Seeing that Ulysses was already a little impatient, Howard withdrew playfully and closed the door.

After a while, he heard someone inside shouting his name, and he smiled slightly, pushed the door open and walked in.

At this time, the little boy was already sitting on the chair in the middle of the hall, his originally clear eyes were full of coldness and deep meaning, but the iconic ghost light seemed to be hidden in the depths of his eyes, only two ghosts of fire pulsed slightly in his pupils.

"This body is indeed good," the little boy stretched his body and moved his neck, "how can I reward you?" he felt that his body at the moment would last about a month, and he would be able to think of a better way in this time.

"It's not a reward, I'm afraid you're mistaken. ”

Howard smiled and said, "It's just a deal I negotiated with you beforehand, and I've always thought we're on a fair footing with each other." ”

"Fair place?" Ulysses' eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Do you think you have the qualifications?"

Howard was not afraid at all, and replied calmly: "Just by my worth, by the fact that I can find a satisfactory body, I have this qualification." ”

"Joke, I promised you before because time was pressing, and now, I'm not in such a hurry, do you think a king can't find a suitable body?" Ulysses's eyes sparkled brighter and brighter, and a faint sense of oppression descended, as if even the air had frozen, as if he would kill Howard as soon as he was not satisfied with the next answer......

"I think, I'm afraid so. Howard stood there with a smile, not caring about the other party's anger at all, and said slowly: "A perfect body is not so easy to find. ”

Ulysses stared at Howard tightly, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, you're saying you can provide a perfect body, even no less than the Abyss Dragon Emperor?" He didn't know where the other party knew so much about the inside story, including the perfect thing, but he had vaguely guessed who the person who revealed the news might be, this person had also been serving himself from beginning to end, doing eyeliner by Modi's side, originally thought that he had died in the process of fighting with the Monks' Society, but now it seems that this is not the case.

It's not that he's negligent, but with his identity, he doesn't care too much about such little people.

"In that case...... Ulysses leaned back in his chair and said in a deep voice, "So, what do you want? ”

Howard's originally stiff back muscles suddenly relaxed, rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and said, "I know that Master Ulysses used to be a great alchemist, so I would like to ask you to refine some special props. ”

Ulysses nodded and said, "Then say it, if it is an ordinary alchemy prop, I believe you will not come to me." ”

Howard took a sheepskin scroll from his bosom, stepped forward and handed it to Ulysses, and said, "This is it." ”

Ulysses frowned and said, "It's not like something you can use." ”

"Yes, as I said, I have business dealings with some people. ”

Ulysses looked at the parchment scroll, even he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this is a very esoteric and complex alchemy drawing, and the age is very long, many of the materials on it are extremely rare, not only that, but it also involves a lot of forbidden knowledge of the soul and life, if it is not an alchemist who studies this aspect, he may not even be able to understand it.

Seeing this, he may understand why the other party is looking for him.

Under normal circumstances, he would have been interested in studying the contents, but for now, it would probably consume most of his energy, which was inconsistent with his idea of finding a suitable body.

As if seeing what the other party was hesitating, Howard took a step forward and said, "I don't care how you finished this thing, my lord, I just need it to come to my hands at the end." ”

"Since I promised you, I will keep my word. As if thinking of something, Ulysses' eyes flashed, and he put the parchment in his bosom and said, "I will come to you in two weeks." ”

Howard bent down and said, "Well, I'll be in the ...... then."

Ulysses snapped him off and said, "Needless to say, as long as you are still on the Apollo continent, then it will be very easy for me to find you." ”

Howard knew that Ulysses was secretly warning him not to play any tricks, otherwise the wrath of a king would not be something he could bear, but as if he did not understand, he said with an unchanged face: "Then I will wait for your good news, my lord." ”

After he walked out of the door, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he was just a stand-in at this time, but after all, it was not very perfect, he knew that Ulysses was very good at curses and other spells, even through the doppelganger, he could find out where he really was, and he might even have the means to directly curse himself, fortunately......

He smiled inexplicably, and the whole person slowly disappeared from the air.

And at the moment, in another place, he was staying with a man who was anxiously walking back and forth, and if Moty was still alive, he would surely recognize this as the most trusted Cedric in front of him.

"How's that? did he agree?" Cedric rubbed his palms nervously when he saw Howard's expression change.

"He's already agreed. ”

Howard stood up, his back was already soaking wet by this time, and he said with some prostration, "Then, when the things are in hand, the agreement between me and your lord will be completed." ”

Cedric also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Of course, as long as you get something, from now on, the favor you owe to that adult will be written off." ”

......

"What, Landiston isn't here, and it's probably been a few days since he left?" After hearing the news, Domor lost his mind for a while, and the precious porcelain teacup from the East in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and then he came back to his senses and yelled: "Quick, prepare the carriage, I am going to see my father...... No need, lead me to the horse,"

When Domor hurried to Lednoisa's mansion, he found that the butler was already waiting at the gate, and the latter stepped forward and said, "My lord said, if the young master comes, please go in and meet him immediately." ”

Domol tossed his whip to his servant and walked into the hall with a worried look on his face.

Lednoisa also sat there expressionlessly, obviously he also got the news, and when he saw Domor rushing in, he raised his eyes and said, "Are you here, sit down, don't be in a hurry, if you have something to say, say it slowly." He picked up a piece of parchment from the table, handed it to Domoor, and said, "Look at it." ”

Domol took it, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly it became, and this time their arrangement was a complete failure.

"The eyes of the Holy See confirmed the news that Landiston's guards had left the headquarters as soon as they left the city, and had taken several of the friars to the Abyssal Rift, and they were probably already there when the news arrived. Lednoisa's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "Then even if the Council of the Dead mobilizes manpower, it will be too late, and the ordinary army is not the opponent of their elite squad at all, and they can't stop them." ”

"Father, what should I do then?" Domore jumped up, this is not only Landiston, even Abner, but also the two Holy See Monks, if they come back, it is conceivable that the power of the Holy See will expand dramatically, and there will be no room for the Mage Guild to live.

"Don't worry, there's always a way to fix it. Lednoisa motioned for his son to sit down, his expression still unfazed.

Domol didn't sit down, he walked back and forth, patted his forehead, and said, "They are in such a hurry, they must have made a quick plan to solve the problem, then they will definitely come back in the teleportation array, if we ......"

Lednoisa shook his head and said, "They must have prepared.

Domol gritted his teeth and said, "However, once they return, Landiston will be in the position of vice president, and with his current merits, there will be no one to restrain him when he returns to Bethlehem."

"My son, you have to learn how to use the power and name in your hands, instead of blindly shouting and killing, sometimes, as long as you use your brain more, you will know that there are many ways to deal with this kind of thing, and it is not very difficult. Lednoissa remained calm, and said, "No matter how powerful Landiston is, his roots are still in Bethlehem, and he has almost no direct influence within the Monks' Order, only a name. ”

Domol stomped his feet and said, "But isn't that what we're worried about?

Lednoisa smiled slightly, and said: "If he is in the monks' guild, maybe we can't do anything, but now that he is not here, not only is he not there, but he has taken away a large number of monks who originally supported him, then we have the opportunity to calmly arrange, don't worry, the initiative is still in our hands, we can make it impossible for them to come back smoothly." ”

"Father, do you have any ideas?" said Domoor, turning abruptly and looking at his father.

"Remember the Black Iron Dwarf tribe?"

Domol nodded, "Remember, in a few days I will arrange for them to be attached to the Monks' Society, so that I can have a meritorious service." ”

Lednoisa said lightly: "Don't go, let Landiston go." ”

"What?" Domoore's eyes widened as he looked at his father in amazement, and if it weren't for his tone and expression, he almost suspected that what was standing in front of him was just a thief disguised as his father.

Lednoisa glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not giving him merit, but delaying the date of his return, so that we can arrange it calmly."

"That's right...... Domour understood his father's plan a little, "but if you give Lantyston an order directly, the other monks may not agree, and now there are only two monks in the Holy See, but there are also Angus Gale and Semerhill, if they don't agree, we don't have any advantage." ”

Lednoisa waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay to transfer Semerhir and Angus Gale away, but the two chief monks of the Holy See don't move, so as not to attract their attention, and then you submit the letter from the dwarven tribe, so that the number of the chief monks of our Knight Alliance and the Mage Guild will exceed the Holy See, and with the support of the Vice-President of the listed Mente, we can easily pass this resolution." ”

"Let Landiston stay in the Black Iron Tribe...... Then we have time to take our time. Domol wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't completely relax and couldn't help asking, "So what's next?"

"Next...... Ryder Noisa smiled and said, "Send a letter to the eldest son of the Easton Empire, Monfis, saying that our mage will be willing to support him, on the condition that he will lead troops to raid the Black Iron Dwarf Tribe, but don't go too far, just provoke the conflict of the Black Iron Tribe." ”

"This is ......" Domore seemed to grasp Lednoisa's intentions, "but the Easton Empire is not the sphere of influence of the Monks, and the Black Iron Dwarves will be fooled?"

Lednoisa snorted and said, "As long as you find a few people to put on the robes of the Monks, and then let the thieves spread the news, how can the dwarves be able to tell the difference?"

Domore became excited, and said, "This matter should be done before Landiston arrives, so that the Black Iron Dwarves will definitely be hostile to Landiston, and it is more likely that they will kill Landiston and join the Council of the Dead."

Lednoisa shook his head and smiled, and said, "Although I don't think they can kill Landiston, but if this matter is not dealt with, it is impossible for Landiston to come back so easily, right?" After all, this is an order issued by the headquarters of the Monks, if it is not done, then it will also be a blow to his reputation, no matter what, we still have plenty of time to complete our arrangement." ”
