Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Dog-Headed Strategist in the Late Stage of Paranoid Disorder

"Ah, saved."

Beyond Desmond Castle, in a snow-white world, a pitch-black mass of objects let out a sigh of satisfaction. Although his voice was a little urn-like because of his face down, the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe was obviously visible.

"Thank you so much, but if you can, can you pull me out, I'm almost suffocated"

The lord hugged Ellie and crouched down beside the strange object. Just now, when Robert was nervous, he exploded into anger and kicked the strange thing out of the window.

Unexpectedly, this guy was a blessing in disguise, and the snowdrift actually extinguished the flames on his body, and his luck was really good.

But

Name: Hermint Remore

Strength: 7, Constitution: 7, Agility: 7, Intelligence: 14, Will: 11

Traits: Scholar, Acumen, Amateur Conspirator, Magician, Prophet (??? ), Marshal of the Demon Road (??? )

Acumen: Go beyond the surface of affairs and go straight to the essence.

It's a magician, but this way of appearing is really special, and it almost burned me to death.

Sinloth stretched out his finger and poked at the strange object buried in the snow, "Are you still alive?" ”

"I'm dying"

"Oh, that's right. I didn't expect Bishop Wiseman to move so quickly, and not long after I came back, he sent someone over as agreed? ”

"What Wiseman, help, I'm suffocating"

Isn't it?

Wiseman can be a bishop, and naturally he has his means. What's more, he is also a hidden magician, a creature like a magician, who has always been known for his dark and powerful world, and he must have a plan for infiltrating the church in such a deliberate way. And a while ago, the great magician Fei Yi did a great favor to him, and under all kinds of concerns, Xinluo gave up the opportunity to seek revenge directly from him. Instead, he took advantage of that opportunity to sign a lot of [equal and friendly] treaties with him.

But it seems that this time it doesn't seem like he has to pay interest.

Sinloth pursed his lips and stood up with his dazed daughter in his arms: "Robert, get him out for me." ”

"Yes, sir."

Rumble!

The bright red color instantly filled the lord's vision, but in this poignant and crazy color, Xinluo did not feel any uneasiness, but had a strange sense of security that was carefully protected.

"It's a beautiful red."

In the secret room of the castle, Sinlos waved off the maid and asked her to take Ellie to play, and then asked the young man who was wiping his face with a towel, "Tell me, who are you?" ”

"In Lower Helmint Remore. A few days ago, when Master Fei Yi came to visit the teacher, he inadvertently mentioned that the adult had just arrived in Desmond and seemed to be very short of manpower. So the teacher decided to let me be your staff member here as my last test before I left the school, by the way, this is the teacher's handwritten letter, please take a look. ”

The white-haired and blue-eyed young man was not very tall, but he was a little taller than Sinloth. But his smile as warm and pure as the sun can arouse people's affection. And that proficient Wang Du accent also added a lot of points to him. If it weren't for the smoke and fire, I'm afraid that as long as he smiled, he would be able to steal the hearts of the ladies lightly.

This guy is too dangerous, and he needs to stay away from Ellie.

Sinlos took the so-called handwritten letter, and he glanced at the white-haired young man suspiciously, and the lord hesitated slightly, but finally opened the envelope.

For now, the mage is indeed on his side. Even if there is Wiseman's affairs in it, it will not be difficult for him. In any case, Ellie is a princess after all.

Whether it's demons or humans.

To the glorious Baron Vanzo,

The two races, the demon race and the human race, have been constantly fighting and killing each other since they were born in this world. Countless heroes and heroes have risen and fallen in the process of this confrontation, which should have been avoided. There is no fundamental dispute between demons and humans. The demons are not accustomed to the thin magical environment of the human territory, and the human race cannot tolerate the strong magic fluctuations in the abyss, so why can't everyone try to live in harmony? Is it because of the so-called God? That waste that can't even get out of his own kingdom? My clan has long been tired of it, but it has never been able to resolve the thousand-year-old grudge between humans and demons, but your appearance has made me see a glimmer of light in this boundless darkness, and if I have the opportunity, I really want to have a long talk with you.

Another: Please don't doubt that this fool standing in front of you now is indeed my disciple. Although this fool is a little stupid, sometimes, he can still help a little. Please use him well, and of course, if you accidentally play him to death, that's okay, just send his body back. After all, my clan does not have the custom of cremation, and if there is no corpse, I will be very difficult when I build a tomb for him.

Your friend, Speaker of the Witches' Council, Grand Magician Fortuna Cappadocia

Written on November 11

As soon as the lord finished reading it, the letter paper cracked on its own, turning into countless points of light, and slowly disappeared into the air.

It's really cautious.

The title of Great Magician, the lord naturally knows, and according to the memories of those in the chaos, it is the honorific title of the noblest among the magicians - such as Fei Yi. But what is this witch council?

This question can be asked slowly later, and it is not too urgent. But the help of a magician sounds really attractive.

The lord looked at the white-haired youth's glittering eyes that contained countless expectations, but in the end he still didn't tell the truth. The lord shifted his buttocks, changed into a more comfortable position, and asked, "I already understand what Master Fortuna means. But that's not enough, so let's test it on the spot. See if you qualify to be my staff? ”

When the white-haired young man heard Sinloth say this, a confident smile appeared on his face: "Your concern is justified, I was ready before coming to Desmond, please feel free to ask." ”

"Well, then, tell me about the current situation in the Empire."

A qualified staff member should have a considerable sense of the overall situation and be able to provide timely advice for the lord's decision-making. Although there was a strong sense of disgust in that letter, he was a disciple of the Great Magician after all, and even if he couldn't say anything, Sinloth was ready to keep him. Desmond's state is definitely not too many.

Since the Imperial Army was hit hard by the Demon King Legion ten years ago, it has not been relieved. However, despite his advanced age, the current Emperor Basil is still eloquent and strategic, and with the full support of the two provinces of Shenluo and the Dharma Demon, the political situation of the empire is still extremely stable.

Norman, a small country on the border. The meaning of Xinlos releasing water is obvious.

"The situation in the Empire, hmm" was an extremely simple question in the eyes of Sinlos, but Helmint groaned inexplicably, he put his hands behind his back, and walked around in front of the lord a few times before replying: "The situation in the Empire seems to be stable at the moment, but it is actually in turmoil, you see, my lord." ”

"Oh?"

Helmint took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it in front of Sinroth, revealing a map of the empire's territory.

"My lord, look here. The Normans were small for the entire empire, and there were many tribes in it, and they did not belong to each other. But it is not something that can be eliminated overnight. The Norman climate was unusually cold, and the Normans who lived in this place all year round were even more bloodthirsty and crazy in battle, completely disregarding their own life and death. A tribal warrior often requires several elite veterans to work together to suppress it. The emperor's idea was very good, taking advantage of the soldiers' desire to avenge Duke Taylor's desire to send troops to Norman, on the one hand, to deal with Norman, an old rival, and on the other hand, to deter the domestic nobles with military exploits. ”

However, Emperor Basil's expectations were not destined to come true. Gathering the five fleets in one go, and this kind of cross-sea war, the pressure on logistics is really too great. It won't take long, as long as the Normans can hold on for three years, then the logistics of the Imperial Navy will inevitably be in trouble, not to mention that as long as the Normans are not all stupid, in the face of such a war of extermination, they will inevitably exhaust all their strength, waiting for the emperor's majesty, it will inevitably be a bitter battle. ”

There seemed to be some truth in what he said, but Sinloth, who was interested in Hermint, was not ready to let him go: "With such a vast territory of the empire, it is impossible to support five fleets?" ”

Helmint didn't care about the lord's question, but smiled: "However, the other provinces are too far away from Norman, and when the time comes, they will still have to rely on the province of Britannia for supplies." ”

Among the seven provinces of the empire, except for the two governors of the Dharma Demon and the Shinra, the other four governors and the emperor have never been of the same mind, otherwise there would be no existence of the Senate. It's not that the other four governors are thinking about going out day and night, but instead of fully supporting the empire and working together to obtain that endless glory, they will probably be more happy to see the emperor suffer a loss.

"Let's go on with some truth."

"When the Emperor's expedition fails, his prestige will inevitably plummet. The Bulgarians will never let go of this opportunity, and they will definitely take advantage of the chaos when the time comes. The Imperial Army is now in that state again, and it is obviously impossible to make achievements like last time, and this is bound to be another protracted war. ”

It was not all smooth sailing when Basil was young and navigated the empire, and one year the Bulgarians suddenly raised the flag of rebellion. After his victory at the Battle of Creon, the young emperor blinded 14,000 captured Bulgarians and sent them back to the barracks in groups of 100, each with only one man with one eye. Although the Bulgarian rebellion was temporarily quelled, the two sides also formed a mortal enmity.

In Bulgaria, Basil's reputation is not much better than that of a magician who has taken refuge in the demons. It's the same for both anyway, both are bastards who have to go to hell.

"Ugh"

As if not noticing the strange color on Sinloth's face, Hermint continued to explain feverishly: "Now the age of the seven governors is not too young, it is difficult to say how long they will live, but we can help them to meet God Emperor Basil has no heirs of his own, his younger brother and nephew died early, and the current imperial grandson is only eight years old, at such an age, even with the full assistance of the prime minister, how can he convince the public?" ”

"The same is true of the demon under the command of Governor Louis, who was well alive, and the counties were very obedient because of his prestige and skill. But as long as he dies, his son will not have the ability of his father, the Sun King, and Burgundy and Aquitaine will rebel! The entire demon will be in turmoil. ”

Sinloth was helpless, and he tried to interrupt the would-be staff who were caught in his own world: "Hey, you wait"

"Governor Allen and Governor Louis of Brittania have been at odds for many years, and as long as the demons are in chaos, he will inevitably lead his army to battle. And Desmond has been weak for many years, and the governor will not think about how many troops he will contribute."

Who will stop this paranoid terminal.

"In this way, the two central provinces are in chaos, and Shinra, who is also the central province, must not sit idly by, he can only go around to put out fires. Once ambition is ignited, it will certainly not be extinguished. What adults have to do is to accumulate grain, slowly become king, and slowly wait for the opportunity Adults are not even twenty years old this year, even if they wait for him for twenty years, so what? At that time, the governors will either die of old age or be young, and the strength of the adults should be enough for twenty years."

Helmint, who was extremely excited by his fantasies, looked at the lord with an extremely tangled expression with red eyes: "By the way, the lord hasn't married a wife yet, right?" ”

"Ah, indeed"

Hermint licked his lips and showed a cruel smile: "Then it will be easier, the lord first married the Alfred family in England, and after a few years, after the situation is stable, we will let the lady die in a sad accident but can't find any flaws, when the time comes, the lord sits in Ireland and England, and then marries the noble daughter of the Capetian family, it will be much simpler With the influence of the Capetian family, the lord can forcibly claim that the Duke of Scotland is here, and the adult's power has been small, what we have to do." , that is, the waiting time is as short as 20 years, and as long as 40 years, the position of governor must have a seat for adults. As for the high position, I can't guarantee it."

Speaking of emotion, Hermint himself was deeply intoxicated, and he danced and narrowed his beautiful blue eyes, as if he saw a great family slowly rising with the rising sun.

"My lord, what is my judgment of the situation in the Empire?"

Xinluo was silent, he sighed, and said helplessly: "I finally understand your teacher's thoughts, it's not easy for you to come here, just stay." If you can say that, go and help Ditohart. It's okay for him to engage in intrigues, but it's really hard for him to communicate with those Vikings. ”

For this paranoid terminal, Xinlos didn't plan to stay around, but he couldn't sweep away the kindness of the ** teacher - just take it as a good intention. So it's very irresponsible, ready to throw this guy to another guy who has a lot of headaches for himself.

Unexpectedly, Hermint did not have the slightest consciousness of being refrigerated, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "My lord thinks more long-term than me, at this time, has he already begun to collect the Vikings?" Ah, indeed, at this time, the Normans were in turmoil, and the empire was eyeing each other. It's really the best time to win over these good fighters, why didn't I think of it?"

Sinloth covered his face, he felt as if he had been trapped
