Chapter 90: Negotiation in the Woods
Da Liang thought that the people who sneaked peeping here were Annie's bodyguards, but he didn't expect them to be following the director of the Special Security Bureau. He remembered that Robin had said that the assassination of the former head of the Security Service, and it seemed that Miss Anne was in a lot of trouble herself.
"Listen to Miss Anne, and if they don't get too close, don't disturb them...... Also, establish an anti-detection barrier so that their conversation with Miss Anne is not heard. With that, Da Liang walked towards the long chair in the forest path.
Anne followed Da Liang and followed in his footsteps...... Walk slowly.
Sophia waved her hand without a trace, and several bats quietly shuttled through the woods, and then they all hung upside down on the branches around the bench.
Anne used cleaning magic to clean the bench, and when she invited Da Liang to sit down, she said, "I'm sorry, Master Liang...... I didn't know I'd meet you here, so I didn't deliberately dump those who were following me. If they get you in trouble, I'll get rid of them. ”
Da Liang sat on the bench, except for the slight embarrassment of not touching the ground with his feet, the seat with some curves was still more comfortable. The woods are very neatly manicured, and there is a little floral fragrance in the air, and it seems that the Wharf Magic Academy has put a lot of effort into the packaging.
After Anne sat down next to her, Da Liang asked, "I hope you can solve it." If I do it, I'm afraid a lot of people will die...... Anyway, what do you want to talk to me about...... First of all, the transaction of the 500,000 gold pounds has ended, the payment has been settled, and we are not in arrears with each other. Therefore I do not guarantee that I will help you with your difficulties, after all, my main purpose is to learn magic. ”
At this time, Anne had already made a conclusion that this young master Liang really did not have any power, and she could easily hurt him or even kill him. Of course, Anne didn't plan to do anything out of the ordinary, attacking the child next to her didn't do her any good, and I'm afraid she wouldn't have a chance to make a move......
But what made Anne puzzled was ...... Why would so many powerful ancient heroes be willing to become his servants, willing to huddle in this villa, which is not too big, and listen to the orders of a child without strength? You know, any of them who are willing to serve the empire will be treated as a guest of honor and enjoy supreme power and wealth.
The secret of this still needs to be explored slowly.
Thinking without delaying Anne from answering Da Liang's question, she said, "I'm curious, why do you come to the Wharf Academy of Magic to study magic when you have so many powerful subordinates who are proficient in magic?" Of course...... This is your freedom, I have no right to interfere, but I am also willing to provide you with all the help I can. ”
Da Liang didn't hide the matter of his body, anyway, after the start of the new semester, the other party will be able to know what is wrong with his body. He said, "I came to study in Salo Yang because I don't have any magical talent in my body, and there is technology here that allows ordinary people to learn magic. It was something we didn't have in our time, because we never had to think about getting ordinary people to learn magic.
So you don't have to doubt that I'm going to be bad for your country, I'm really just here to learn magic...... There will be no taking sides in your national interests. ”
An ordinary kid who doesn't even have a talent for magic, leading a group of ancient heroes of superior strength.
Anne secretly spat on this strange combination in her heart, and then moved on to the formal topic: "Young Master Liang, you should have some understanding of the current situation in Salo Yang. Staring at the attack of the abyssal evil cultists and demons on the Blue Cathedral, the contradictions that were already latent in Saroyang suddenly surfaced.
The Council of Marcellus, the Saloyan City Hall, the Blue Legion, the Flominque Empire, the Special Security Service, the Holy See of the Good, the Pagan Sects, as well as the common citizens and the Eastern nations. Interests and rights pull this already fragile chain, and any link breakage may lead to the collapse of the entire Saroyang situation.
If Salo Yang's situation is not controlled, once the war starts, it will inevitably spread to the Dock Magic Academy. I believe you have the ability to protect this place in the war, but it will definitely have an impact on your studies.
I think...... A stable and prosperous Salo Yang has the same interests of you and me. ”
Da Liang couldn't help but nod in agreement with Anne's point of view. These days, he is busy buying real estate, but he is also aware of the tense situation in Saroyang...... The Blue Corps was slow to withdraw from the city, and the Marcellus Council controlled public opinion through the newspapers, and kept building momentum for the formation of the Saroyan City Garrison.
The two sides engaged in confrontation in the city with great fanfare, but they did not dare to really cross the red line, causing an irreparable situation.
The whole of Saroyan is a taut string, and a miscalculation or a miscalculation can lead to a more intense conflict......
Thinking of this, Da Liang not only asked: "Isn't the province of Marcellus without its own army?" All of Saloyan's military power comes from the empire itself, does Marcellus have the strength to resist the imperial army? If things really can't be salvaged, the Blue Legion should be able to easily crush the Marcellus Council.
There are guns, cannons, and silver wings...... What are you afraid of! ”
Speaking of the situation in Marcellus, Anne couldn't help but sigh: "Although it has only been five days in office, I have found that the situation in Marcellus is more dangerous and complicated than I estimated.
The province of Marcellus is 600 kilometers long from east to west and 400 kilometers from north to south. It's not big to say big, but it's not small to say small...... Most of the imperial garrisons were stationed in the eastern countries on the border, and there were very few troops stationed in the provinces.
The province of Marcellus, on the other hand, had no army, but it had a large number of police, mercenaries, and some private armed forces. There are also magic academies and private Silver Wing Flying Clubs in various places.
It can be said that ...... With enough advanced heavy weapons, Marcellus could assemble an elite army in a short period of time.
And it was at this time that a large number of overstaffed heavy weapons and silver wings appeared in the Blue Cathedral, which is why the Blue Legion has been besieging several of the best churches in the city of Salloyan. ”
Da Liang found that the situation between Marcellus and Salo Yang was more complicated than he judged. No wonder the Council of Marcellus dared to fight the Imperial garrison, it turned out that they already had a quasi-army in their hands. Now to form a city garrison in the city of Saroyan, it is to prepare to arm and legalize this army step by step.
It seems that it is really possible for Salo Yang to fight.
Then the war will indeed affect his studies, Da Liang said: "Do you suspect that those excess heavy weapons and silver wings in the Blue Cathedral have something to do with the Council of Marcellus?" ”
"It's just speculation," Anne couldn't help but look sad about the munitions inside the Blue Cathedral: "I'm more worried about ...... There are people within the Special Security Service who are involved in the smuggling of these weapons, and even within the Blue Corps, who are involved in the smuggling ......"
