Night is coming.

On the high seat of the Bauhinia Princess's court sat a luxurious young man, looking at the ministers, nobles, and generals in the audience with an indifferent face, still blaming each other about sending troops to White Rock City, and there was no result for several days.

When they were promised benefits, they raised their glasses one by one and toasted and shouted that the Bauhinia flower would never wither. When they need to contribute money and efforts, they will be like merciful businessmen, and they will never let go if there is no benefit.

Aside from the throne, what else in this country is not for this group of vampires?

Do their lowly hyenas still want to sit in my position?

The smaller the country, the deeper the entanglement with the aristocracy. Troops, positions, official positions, logistics, food, etc., the lifeblood of a country, are crisscrossed all over their staff, and the old king is long and deeply powerless, let alone a new king who has just ascended the throne.

Standing quietly behind the new king, a white-haired and silver-bearded court mage was elegant and quiet, and he knew very well the thoughts of these little ghosts who had grown up. The new king is the one who can bring new life to this decaying country, but his time on the throne is too short to be able to wield his hands in the midst of the constraints.

He's done well enough, and if he replaces those two young guys, I'm afraid he's already become a puppet.

However, that little girl can now form a new force and regain a city, and her performance is wonderful enough.

Old friends, how many people have their hearts but no strength, and their thoughts but no courage.

Your generation has produced two good descendants, and even if you lose these two ruined cities, you should be glad that there are successors.

Holy Mage Antonio raised his old and wise eyes slightly, and looked out of the royal court. Xiang Xinwang bowed slightly, and quietly stepped back and left.

The Holy Mage silently appeared on the tower that signaled the time, and a figure who had been waiting here for a long time saluted as a junior.

"Greetings from Albenstock, Honorable Sage-Master Antonio. ”

Antonio nodded kindly.

"Oh, I know you, that young and mysterious mage beside Miss Catherine, the majestic embodiment of His Majesty the Moon God, and a student of the Three Realms of Wrath Downsford York. I heard that the black-hearted pharmacist who is even more shameless than the devil is also your teacher. ”

Oh, is Mr. Norton's reputation so famous outside the academy? Mr. Downsford York actually has such a majestic title as the Three Realms of Fury, it seems that he hasn't even learned the fur under the Holy Mage, and when he returns, he must stay in the Royal Mage Tower for a while.

As a traditional student of respecting teachers, Al still defended quietly even in the face of the Holy Mage.

"Mr. Norton was extremely knowledgeable and generous to his students. ”

Antonio seemed to have heard some big joke and laughed.

"Looks like you're very fond of him. ”

"Say, young junior, what is the so-called thing to visit late at night. ”

Al straightened up.

"Tomorrow I will represent Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent to conquer the royal city, and I would like to ask if Lord Antonio will intervene in this mortal struggle. ”

The strong have the order and rules of the strong, just as legends can easily not appear in front of mortals, and the holy realm cannot easily meddle in the battles between mortals. Antonio is the Holy Mage of the Principality of Bauhinia, the Chief Court Mage, and has a position. Although he could not violate the conventions of the higher worlds and go out with the army to attack the city and plunder the land against ordinary people, he could defend the royal city from the enemy.

Antonio's wise eyes looked into Al's calm eyes.

"As far as I know, there are only a thousand troops stationed in White Rock City, even if you add those miscellaneous adventurers, mercenaries, and recruited militiamen, you will be counted as two thousand. Are you going to bring these people to attack the royal city? The private army of the nobles in the royal city alone adds up to more than 10,000 people. Don't underestimate the Bauhinia Principality, it has its own uniqueness to be able to preserve it at the intersection of the three empires for so long. ”

The Bauhinia Principality has four ore veins, and the elite of the royal cavalry it supports is no worse than that of the three major empires. What's more, the Principality of Bauhinia is guarding the portal for the Empire of Light, and the new king has the secret support of the forces behind him.

Al also asked but did not answer.

"Lord Antonio, will you be involved in this war?"

"Does this matter? Even if I don't participate, the Empire of Light will not sit idly by. I know you've humiliated the Imperial Emissaries today, and I wonder why they're taking this breath for the time being. But is this your confidence? mysterious and powerful, eighth-level mage?"

"You're the only Sanctuary class that can end this war, so I'd like to get your answer in the affirmative, whether or not you will prevent the Princess Regent from returning to her realm. If you are ready to intervene, I will ask for the title of Knight of the Kingdom. If you are willing to welcome back royal orthodoxy, I will guarantee that the casualties of this battle will not cause heavy damage to the country. ”

The approachable Holy Mage still maintained the loving smile of his elders, and the icy wind froze the place he passed into a layer of ice.

"You're threatening me, little ghost?"

The knights of the kingdom are opposed to the court mages, and both are positions of the same country. When Al becomes the Kingdom Knight of the Duchy of Bauhinia, the power behind him can be justified.

In this life, he can't be a loner, and he is not a lowly wild mage.

Catherine's oath is a sacred covenant witnessed by the blessings of the moon gods.

Believers and allies of the Church of the Luna can also participate in this war. And not to mention the Holy Mage Teacher, his own family alone was able to dispatch a strong man who was enough to suppress the Holy Mage. The Iron Bloods are the fears of all spellcasting professions that rule the entire continent.

Arr's implication was that if Antonio was willing to support Catherine, he would still be the revered chief mage of the court in the Duchy of Bauhinia, and he would not stay and fight for anything.

Mages don't produce and need huge resources, just looking at Al before the mage tower has spent tens of millions of gold coins, not long after going out, compared to a young dragon's wealth has been squandered by him, you can see how much money the mage costs. The Principality of Bauhinia has only two cities but four ore veins, and the position of court mage here is much more valuable than other small countries.

Therefore, it doesn't matter who becomes the king and the Holy Mage, no matter who it is, they will continue to provide for him.

However, Al is capable, no, has a background, a powerful background that can compete with the Holy Mage for the resources of a country. Compared to him, Antonio is a helpless wild mage.

The surrounding ice froze layer by layer along Al's mana shield, and the young man remained unmoved in the cage formed by the ice, looking at the holy mage without fear.

"You can think of it as a threat, or as a promise from the princess regent. ”

"My promise is the most precious diamond in the world, and I promise to help her return to the throne, and no one can stop her. ”
