Several years of confrontation have apparently not been wasted.

While Grimm was recruiting troops, developing territories, stealing technology, and recruiting commanders everywhere, the kingdom did not waste time, but quietly carried out various preparations, planning to wait until the official war began to take it out and deal a fatal blow to the demons!

"Invisible airships, high-speed flying magic legions, and ...... Monster Lair Purification Project? ”

Purification Plan: Decontaminate the monster lair and transform it into a "minimon nest" that can be controlled.

When he learned about the new airship and the new magic legion of the Northboy Kingdom, Green could still deal with it calmly, but when Green learned that the other party had mastered the technology of turning the "monster lair" into a "summon creature lair", he finally couldn't sit still.

"You ...... Have you found a way to control the monster's lair? The news from the Queen's mouth made Green feel a little creepy, "When?" Why haven't I heard even a word about it? ”

"Two years ago, shortly after the occupation of Miracle Canyon, the Mother Earth Church in Yod City sent a team of knights to escort Refia the Ice Sage to Miracle Canyon to investigate. Ice Sage" Refia found that the monster lair in Miracle Canyon was different from the monster nests in other places, and was extremely stable......"

In the palace, the new king is sitting in his study, flipping through various confidential documents of the kingdom to learn the truth about the kingdom. On the sofa in the study, the former Prime Minister, the Chief of Intelligence, the Chief Financial Officer, and the newly appointed President of the Royal Mage Association, four important ministers of the kingdom sat on the sofa, answering various questions of the new king.

“…… The monster lair in Miracle Canyon is unusually stable unlike the monster nests in other places, which intrigues the "Ice Sage" Refia. After some research, she discovered that those stable monster nests could be transformed into normal minion nests. The intelligence chief sat straight on the couch and said with a respectful expression.

The new king flicked the document in his hand with his fingers: "So, the six major churches suddenly cut off the 'Order Tinder' trade, the purpose of which is to use the materials to make this new type of Order Flame that can purify the 'monster lair' into a 'summon creature nest'?" ”

"Yes."

King Dorne: "I remember the supply list said we had seventeen Tinder of Order?" Those seventeen sparks of order should all be this new type of spark of order, right? ”

The intelligence chief looked at the Prime Minister who was sitting on the sofa on the other side.

Prime Minister: "Very unfortunate, Your Majesty. We don't have a new type of spark of order, and our spark of order is the same ordinary spark of order as before. ”

"Why spend a lot of money to buy that kind of spark of order that has been eliminated?" The new king raised an eyebrow, "I think you should have your own reasons. ”

"Because the church doesn't recognize it." The former Prime Minister spoke slowly, "The Church is unwilling to sell the new flame of order, and we can't force them. Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for the second place, bought back some ordinary Flame of Order, and tried to transform the previous Flame of Order into a new type of Tinder that could purify the nest of monsters. ”

The new king frowned slightly: "...... How is the study going? ”

The former prime minister glanced at the old mage sitting next to the intelligence director: "The research work is in charge of the royal mages, and I don't know the details." ”

The new president of the Royal Mage Guild frowned slightly, but did not speak.

The new king glanced at his newly appointed president of the Royal Mage Guild, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he turned to the secretary standing beside him and ordered, "Let Anna Beth come to see me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The secretary of the new king was an old gentleman with glasses.

The old gentleman bowed gracefully, left the study, and conveyed the king's order to the people outside.

"Well, let's talk about the church. I used to think that we had a good relationship with the three major churches of light, sea, and earth, but now it seems that this is not the case? ”

The new king's hasty ascension to the throne, coupled with the "assassination" of Queen Rhea, made the new king unaware of many confidential situations in the country, and could only learn about the situation through a large number of documents. Fortunately, several old ministers are very knowledgeable, which makes the new king not confused.

“…… Archduke Ray Eddy had discovered five dead men who had tried to destroy the Wall, and if it hadn't been for Archduke Ray Eddy's return at the time, the Wall would have disappeared by now. Sending five shadow assassins to act as dead soldiers in one go, there are not many forces that can make such a big deal, so we have reason to suspect that those dead soldiers are actually sent by the Church of the Lord of Shadows! The intelligence director said an explosive level of information, "Relatively speaking, our relationship with the three major churches of light, ocean, and earth is indeed relatively good. But unless you are willing to be baptized by the church and declare it the 'state religion,' it is difficult for us to get the full support of a particular church. ”

If given a choice, no king would want to find a "master" for himself.

Just as the new king was communicating with several "former courtiers", there was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and the old butler walked in through the door: "Your Majesty, Lady Anna Bess has left the Floating City. ”

“…… Got out of Floating City? The new king raised an eyebrow, "What's going on?" Isn't it true that the Royal Mage can't leave the Floating City? ”

"The Vice President of the Mage Guild said that you have relieved Lady Anna Beth of her position as a royal mage, so the contract is no longer valid."

King Dorne frowned slightly: "When did I remove her from her position as a royal mage?" I'm just removing her from her position as president of the Royal Mage Guild......" King Dorne looked at the old mage, "Samibas, the royal mage's contract should be absolute, right?" ”

The old mage bent slightly: "Your Majesty, nothing in this world is 'absolute'. As long as there are rules, there is a way to get around, and only loyalty bound to interests is eternal. ”

The king slowly chewed on the old mage's words: "Do you think that woman betrayed the kingdom?" ”

"I don't know." The old mage shook his head slowly, "But if she betrays, she will definitely take her family with her." ”

The king looked at the old butler beside him.

Old butler: "...... I heard that Ms. Anna Bess bought an airship and left with her family in an airship. ”

The king's expression changed slightly!

The intelligence director suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, as the former president of the Mage Association, Ms. Anna Bess knows a lot of Kingdom secrets!" We must not let her go! ”
