Chapter Ninety-Eight: Secret Letter
There is no doubt that what happened that night brought another wave of panic and heated discussions to the already chaotic and barely able to maintain a semblance of calm in Two Moon City.
The students at the War College were also talking about what had happened between Freckles and the pigtailed man in this Demon Summoning incident. On the contrary, Xiu, Roland and others, who had personally experienced that incident, did not mention this matter. provoked the onlookers to itch in their hearts, but they couldn't find out any news.
Of course, not all the students in the war school were so gossipy, for example, Moses, who is now the Grand Duke, he had no interest in these things at all.
Moses was more concerned with a secret letter that was now spread out before him.
This letter was secretly sent by the eldest prince of the highlands.
Moses had already read what was written on it, so now he had a thoughtful expression on his face.
After the agreement was reached at the meeting of the six nations, Moses really began to be wooed. What is written in his letter is also very straightforward. Bai Li directly proposed that Moses form an alliance with them to break down the delicate but balanced relationship between the noble forces of Two Moon City.
"My lord, why are you so distracted?" a young man asked with a smile as he walked into the study.
This young man is called Apocalypse, and he has been following Moses since he was a child, and he is considered a retainer of Moses and a swordsman.
"I'm thinking, the highland guy is really ambitious, and he even calculated it on my head. Here's a secret letter from them, take a look. So saying, Moses spread the letter before the apocalypse.
Apocalypse picked up the letter, looked at the contents on it, and said with a smile: "Then what are you going to do, my lord? Do you agree to their proposal and avenge the old country, or report this matter to the city of the moon and defend it?"
Moses sneered: "Oh, what does this grudge between the nations have to do with me? Our Mudran is already dead! After you read this letter, burn it. In this struggle, who dies and who lives can only depend on their own creation. I don't want to get involved in this mess. ”
For Moses, the kingdom of the moon was the main culprit in the destruction of his homeland, so the kingdom of the moon naturally did not have a good impression in Moses' heart. In addition, Moses came from the far south, and rarely moved around with the other nobles here. Therefore, although Moses was the duke of the land of the moon, he always had a sense of alienation and detachment from the country of the moon. There was not much in the City of Two Moons that thought Moses would be truly loyal to the Land of the Moon.
And because of the bad relationship between Moses and the second prince of the highlands, there was no good interaction between Moses and the six countries. In addition, the conditions that the G6 can promise Moses are not necessarily better than those of the Moon Country, so Moses is too lazy to wade into this troubled water!
And Baili so confidently asked Moses for an alliance, probably because he overestimated Moses' hatred for the land of the moon and underestimated Moses' dislike for him.
Because Moses had experienced a lot since he was a child, his mind was deeper and more thoughtful than that of his peers. Although Moses' likes and dislikes were obvious, he was always able to analyze things calmly and objectively, and he would not change his mind at all because of a few provocative words.
Because Moses understood that although Mudran was gone, the people of the Old Land would continue to survive, and that Moses was the only one they could rely on. Because of this, although Moses is now in the city of Two Moons and seems to be in the world, he also has to think about more problems.
Tianqi smiled: "Then I will reply to Bai Li and politely refuse his proposal this time." "The Apocalypse has always strictly enforced Moses' decisions, never asking why.
Moses nodded, letting the apocalypse retreat and prepare, while he himself leaned back in a heavy chair and closed his eyes slightly.
But for some reason, Moses always felt a little unsure in his heart, and this feeling had not appeared in a long time.
Damn it!
Haven't you already decided not to wade into the troubled waters this time!
Moses cursed inwardly, then opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.
Then Moses took a piece of paper from the table and began to write on it.
"Apocalypse, come here!" called out the apocalypse the moment Moses put down his pen. The apocalypse reappeared before Moses.
Moses held his head, glanced at the apocalypse, and said, "I've been having some trouble with my studies lately. The structure of this magic circle, no matter how you think about it, there are things that I don't understand. You send it to Master Torres and ask him to help me see what the hell is wrong. ”
Master Torres was actually referring to Noah, who had been persistently sending invitations to harass Moses, but Moses felt that it was too intimate to call him by name, so he called him that.
Strange to say, Moses obviously did not have a good relationship with the nobles of the Silver Moon Class, and he always found it annoying for Noah to pester him. But for some reason, after getting the news that Two Moon City was about to usher in a storm among nobles, Moses was also a little worried about Noah and Xia Zuo's situation.
This was unthinkable to Moses in the past! So much so that Moses wondered if he was crazy enough to meddle with things!
Regardless, Moses eventually did. Although he was a little reluctant, he did it anyway.
When Noah received Moses' letter, he had a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly regained his usual smile and thanked Apocalypse in a friendly manner.
Then Noah turned around and walked back to his study, and immediately changed to a serious expression after closing the door.
After all, Moses took the initiative to send a letter this time, and it was a very strange thing to think about it. As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and Noah can figure out that Moses must have something important to inform himself even if he thinks about it with his toes.
When Noah opened the letter, he found that there was nothing else on it, only a magic circle. But the structure of this circle is a bit peculiar, and there are some strange symbols on it.
What does that mean?
Noah hurriedly sat down and analyzed the contents of the circle. He wanted to see what Moses was trying to tell him. It didn't take long for Noah to crack the content.
After reading the information on the circle, the expression on Noah's face couldn't help but become serious. He couldn't help but start thinking about the predicament they were facing.
Noah's father was a duke, but he was already dead. Now the entire Torres family is actually being taken care of by Noah's sister.
This is mainly due to the fact that Noah has not actually officially inherited his father's title. As for the reason, it is mainly because Noah likes a leisurely life and is afraid of trouble.
Becoming a duke meant dealing with a range of things, which was a heavy burden for Noah, who liked to spend his days at a leisurely pace.
So at that time, Noah pestered his sister softly and hard, and he was stunned to buy himself a few more years of idle time. Noah and his sister agreed that after he graduated from the War College, he would officially inherit the family business.
