Chapter 8: Regram's Request (2-in-1)
"Whew...... Well, yes, that's perfect. At the end of the song, Elfin nodded with satisfaction - the boy in front of him could finally finish a ballroom dance with a consistent rhythm on his own without any self-motivation. Although this is only the entry level of the aristocracy, at least it will not be said if it is taken out now, as long as it is explained that it is not too embarrassing to let go in terms of personality.
About a week has passed since the previous private "consultation" with Helriga. During this time, the situation in the empire underwent some subtle changes.
First of all, on the big level - the wars in the territories of the various great nobles have basically ended the white-hot competition and entered the final stage. Among them, especially the rulers of Sasharante, one of the four famous families, the Haines family, acted the fastest. The regular army of Sasharante has been fully controlled, and in addition to being besieged by the fortress as a stronghold, all the small military camps and strongholds in the surrounding area that can form an echo have been uprooted by the Marquis of Haines; The surrounding villages and towns were also under control, but according to reliable sources, the Marquis of Haines did not completely cut off the regular army's food, but ordered his men to turn a blind eye to small smuggling and intrusions into the blockade. Generally speaking, it feels like they are controlling the combat effectiveness of the regular army - neither driving them to extinction, or besieging them until they run out of ammunition and food for the final battle, nor choosing a strategic retreat, inducing more regular troops to leave the fortress due to lack of resources to strangle in batches, but maintaining this delicate balance. Of course, these news did not spread at that time, and the news that the other three nobles got from the Marquis of Haines was ambiguous news like "our army is steadily advancing the war situation".
In the report to the headquarters of the aristocratic coalition, Marquis Rogner held the same view as Marquis Haines - however, Marquis Rogner, like his person, was honest and bold, and the report he gave was naturally not as private as Haines. The Marquis of Rogner has already broken through the encirclement of Lieutenant General Sykes twice, and has taken advantage of the huge resource advantage to advance steadily. At the moment, they are already planning to attack the watchtower on the Nolde Plateau and seize control of the telecommunications there - once this is done, the communications of the Kendamen will be severely disrupted, and it should be difficult for the further weakened Sykes to continue in this situation.
The other two are a happy and a sad - the base camp of the Duke of Kane, Lamar State has already achieved a huge advantage, and the remaining regular army troops can only hide in the hilly terrain to make the last resistance and struggle with the army of the "Golden Rakshasa", and everyone almost agrees that the complete elimination of Lamar State is only a matter of time. Only in Krutchen, the defense of the regular army and the attack of the noble army formed a stalemate along the Galleria fortress to the "Double Dragon Bridge", which made the Duke of El Barea quite uncomfortable.
In this case, in addition to requesting assistance from the headquarters of the noble coalition on the one hand, including but not limited to more weapons and equipment and excellent generals, the Duke of Elbariana also passed several tax laws in a row, and continued to levy and exploit the surrounding areas. Not only did a large number of local nobles express their dissatisfaction with this, but even the nobles in the circle in Balyahat are quite complaining about it. Because of this, the rumored large-scale banquets that Count Gotti and other financial giants are going to organize, some "out of place", Duke El Barea no longer beats too many words. And I don't know if it was to ease the relationship in this regard, the Duke of Elbare made a rare sigh and promised to let his second son, Jusis Elbariana, attend in his place.
In this case, it would have been a better choice to meet Eussis for information on the surrounding area. Heliga thought so, and when he got the news from the few merchants who were still able to pass through the Crutchen state, he was even more determined to make a trip. Fortunately, at this time, Werner also got rid of his previous entertainment, and he was far stronger in administrative means and abilities than Heliga, and after learning about this incident, and the fact that Her Royal Highness Princess Elphine did not hesitate to deign to personally teach him the missing aristocratic social etiquette, he strongly stated that Heliga should temporarily "withdraw" from the affairs of the refuge during this time and fully cooperate with Elfin's "teaching plan".
I don't know if it's because the feeling of being trusted makes her feel a little comforted, or simply because it's the object of the relationship that makes her happy - the hesitation and entanglement on Elfin's face are slowly gone, replaced by the happiness and liveliness that once belonged to her. Maybe it was with this in mind that my father made this decision to push the boat along? Heliga sometimes thinks the same way.
"Good work." Fei's words on the side interrupted Heiliga's thoughts, and she handed over a towel and a drink, "What I said just now is indeed a little bit of a moment. This is probably the first time that Heliga hasn't stepped on Elfin's foot, right? ”
"yes, yes. This week has been the most stepped on in my life. Elfin immediately took advantage of the situation, hugged Fei, and pretended to be distressed.
"She's done her job, if you mess up at that party......" Fei took Elfin's hug and said in a half-joking, half-serious tone.
"Hehe, if you have specific results, if you have a chance in the future, Xiaofei will test it herself." Elfin said mischievously, and the two girls giggled.
No, when did the two of you get on such a good footing? Heliga couldn't complain about it. But he also knows that the relationship between the two is definitely not a bad thing for him - although he does have some confusion about what is going on behind the scenes.
"Hmm...... Speaking of which, Fe. What about the one I said earlier? How's it going? After laughing, Helriga got down to business. The previous Monster Cleanup that Tovar had organized several of them to carry out together seemed to be complete - I just don't know how the spoils of war were handled.
"It's still in the preparation stage. According to Mr. Tovar, the amount of fur was apparently enough to survive the winter, but work had not yet begun. ”
"Why?" "It's been three days since that operation?" ”
"Do you remember the woman you almost chased away? The one with the sick child. "She happened to ...... Before the war caused her to be displaced, she was a very skilled textile mill handler. According to her, the furs have not been processed at the very beginning, and if they are not properly tanned, they will not achieve the best results now. However, some of the velvet above can already be processed – and the most important process before processing those leathers requires a process known in the industry as "liming", which requires materials that we don't have here. ”
"So, Mr. Tovar intervened, and approached a traveling merchant who was still able to pass through Crutchen at such times, and promised to come with the necessities we needed within the next week—and Mr. Tovar did mention it." Elfin on the side chimed in.
"Hmm. Heliga's dad had already nodded in agreement, and I don't think it was a big deal. ”
"Alas...... After doing it for a long time, I, the original main person in charge, was the last one to know. Helriga smiled wryly, "Forget it...... Anyway, the result is good. So, the woman's son has also recovered? ”
"Hmm. And Heliga's father...... Hmm......" Elfin seemed to be a little speechless.
"He won't have an opinion about you just because you say it directly." Fei on the side smiled lightly, "I guess Elfin must be trying to say that your father is much more reliable and efficient than you when dealing with these things." ”
"Oh, really...... Fei, don't hit him directly like this. Alfin on the side hurriedly argued.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's words are the most hurtful......" Helriga made a gesture of loss very cooperatively.
"Okay, okay, don't do it again." Fei smiled and kicked Haliga, "All in all, during this time, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the territory - with me to take care of it, there will be no problem - this is what your father entrusted me to pass on to you." ”
"Hmm...... So, please. Tell him so. "My father has much more management experience than myself, and he handles many things better than himself, which is also a very natural thing, and he will naturally not be disturbed by Elfin's bluntness. Rather, if my father was willing to help, he would be freed and do a lot of things.
"Also, there's one more thing...... It was Laura and Emma who sent it. When he mentioned this, Fei frowned, "That Lohenglin City seems to have been in trouble since the beginning of the civil war...... According to Emma, it seems to have something to do with the "leylines" on this continent......"
"About that...... When we came back by boat, we seemed to feel that there was an unusual flow of magic in the ancient city. Heliga nodded, this ancient city once belonged to the hero of the Imperial Civil War, the "Saint of the Gun" Liana Sandrot, and the war for power at that time and the current civil war, both on the surface and inside, there are many similarities, plus he and there are also quite a lot of connections, in a sense, it is indeed the center of the problem, "This kind of thing will happen, how to say, it is really a bit expected......"
"Hmm...... Emma also said that although it is not obvious yet, based on her observations, it is estimated that it will not be long before a fantasy species called "Phantom Beast" will appear on this continent. Although she and Laura were able to deal with the current level of the problem, once the "phantom beast" appeared everywhere......"
"Phantom beasts...... It's the so-called ...... that wraps around the periphery of this world," Heliga thought to herself—though briefly, but when Bernardo appeared, he did mention a little difference in this world—that the whole of Semlia was like sleeping in a huge magical "bubble", and beyond this bubble were all kinds of magical affairs; Whenever this so-called "bubble" starts to lose stability due to various factors, this very wonderful phenomenon occurs in some places where the connection is not stable enough.
Formerly known as the Immortal King, "Nosfildu" is one such outsider. Generally speaking, Arian Heard himself will stay in this ancient city for many years, and cooperate with the mechanism set up by an ancestor witch to seal and deal with these evil spirits from the other world. However, unfortunately, the "Saint of Steel" herself is now in Crossbell, participating in the "Phantom Flame Project" of the association, and it is impossible to get out, and Viscount Jarside, who was supposed to be responsible for maintaining law and order in the nearby area, has also been fighting in the west of the empire with the Red Wings, and has no time to take care of the problems in the territory, so Laura, as the daughter of the lord, can only afford this task, and with the help of Emma, the two have formulated a series of plans and tried to implement them.
However, in addition to the huge phantom beasts themselves with huge size and amazing strength, there will also be some small monsters that are nothing to warriors, but extremely dangerous to ordinary people-due to their huge number and wide dispersion, Laura commanded the protégés of the "Alsside Stream" who remained in the town to go to the surrounding area to surround and suppress them. However, since the protégés who stay in the dojo all the year round are generally not masters of the middle pass or above, although they have been repeatedly told by Laura to be careful, there are still many people who have been hurt to some extent in the process. Unlike the simple, physical scars created during the competition, nor are they simply burns or frostbite caused by the channeling magic in the demonic beast's body - these powers from the other world are very difficult to deal with in terms of healing, and Emma's magic power has not yet reached the peak witch in her mouth, which is almost infinite mana reserves, so the healing effect is also slightly reduced.
"In other words, they want me to help clear out the monsters over there, and treat the protégés who are injured and have trouble moving...... I get it. Heliga nodded, "When?" ”
Laura said, as soon as possible. Fei replied.
"In that case...... I think maybe I can start today. After all, His Royal Highness Elfin had already approved my practice assessment just now, and I was considered a "graduate" from the dance course. "And that banquet should be the day after tomorrow...... Well, tomorrow, I think it should be enough to deal with that. ”
