Diodos, who had not yet set up his defenses in Plevy, was summoned by a royal decree from Disrafa. On the faces of the 100,000 anxious messengers, Diodos felt that nothing good was expected to happen on this trip.

As he expected, Diodos was reprimanded by King Rucario for three hours. Faced with the angry king, the commander of the Praetorian Guard bowed his head and admitted all his mistakes. He knew very well that if he exonerated himself at this time, it would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. Although King Rucario seems to outsiders to be very open-minded, Diodos is also very aware that if he provokes the person in front of him at the moment, he may be killed in every minute.

Propez's recapture failed, and the king was in the middle of his head and could not find a scapegoat.

Although Rucario was furious, there was nothing he could do. Because in the Kingdom of Bavaria, he could not find a more reliable general than Theodos.

"I've read that report of yours. The king's tone, which had already finished venting, softened significantly, "The writing is okay, and I took the initiative to admit some mistakes in tactical arrangements, and it's good to know that mistakes can be corrected." I'm just curious if you're excusing yourself by blaming the enemy's magicians for your failure?"

While magic and magicians are very common in Yefaran and elsewhere, they are definitely a novelty in Bavaria. Theodos knew that King Rucario did not understand magic, so he gave a detailed account of how the mages of Bohemia kept their hands on their side during a normal siege.

"They actually used magic on the battlefield?" said Rucario, who had most of his resentment gone. He was amazed that the enemy had used these tactics, which only appeared in legends, on the battlefield, which was too bullying.

"Your Majesty, I can assure you of this, all the soldiers have seen it. In the final battle, we were disrupted by the enemy's magic before we were defeated by the enemy's cavalry. "Until now, Diodos is still obsessed with the last fight. If it weren't for that magic, I guess I wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

King Rucario didn't want to say more, he had been worried about the border since the beginning of the dispute. I was always afraid that my father's transmission to my country would be ruined in this inexplicable dispute. When Probez fell, he told his men that he would do whatever it took to regain the territory that belonged to Bavaria. He was very disappointed by the failure of the recapture operation.

"Forget it, you'd better go back to Plitwick. Rucario said with a haggard face, "As for those annoying magicians, I'll find someone to help you solve them." I was approached by Nikoff this morning, and he said that there were some wanted magicians who were planning to apply for political asylum. I'll see if I can take them for myself. ”

Nikoff was the chief minister of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and Riodos had little contact with him. But as soon as he heard that it was related to the magician, the commander of the Praetorian Guard also had some expectations: "Your Majesty, if you can." We'd better keep them. ”

On the cold streets, the cold wind is still howling. An old man hidden in a shabby robe wanders in front of an official residence. The biting cold wind had no effect on him, but the anxiety in his heart became a kind of torment. In order to apply for asylum, he and his companions submitted numerous applications to various Bavarian dignitaries, but they did not hear back. Just as he was about to leave Disrafa, he was told that the chief minister of the kingdom wanted to see him.

This sudden good news made him very happy, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing whether this was a trap or not. After all, to put pressure on such an effect in Bavaria. Ye Flange can still do it.

After a while, the door of the mansion opened, and a tall man over half a hundred years old walked out, and the capable butler made an inviting gesture to him: "I've kept you waiting." Mr. Guise. The master is waiting for you in the living room. ”

After a cup of hot tea, Gise began to ask cautiously, "Lord Nikoff, I am glad that you have received my letter. ”

"Well, I looked. Nikkov's tone was a little arrogant. "I have reported your request to His Majesty. Speaking of providing shelter for those of you, there will inevitably be some unnecessary pressure. Although the Kingdom of Bavaria had little contact with the Yephalan city-states. But accepting you may cause some unpleasantness between the two countries. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit more than worth the loss. ”

"Your Excellency Nikoff, our demands are low. After hearing these words, Guise was a little anxious, "We don't necessarily want Bavaria to get justice for us or anything, we just want to find a stable foothold in your country." We've had enough of being chased and killed all these years, and we don't want to run anymore. It's not for my own benefit, it doesn't matter how old I am, but it's not the same for the young people who follow me along the way. They can't be bumpy like me anymore, they have to have a stable home, they have to have a bright future. ”

For the emotions that Gies revealed, Nikoff couldn't help but feel a little proud. He felt that the person in front of him was almost exhausted, and Niekov, who had already mastered the chips, could bargain unscrupulously.

"Seriously, we don't want to get involved in your grudges with Yefaran. "After all, offending a powerful city-state doesn't do Bavaria any good. That being said, His Majesty Rucario is a benevolent monarch, and even if he is not his own subjects, it is sad to see them tossed and turned. ”

Saying this, Nikkov sighed: "After I handed your letter to His Majesty, His Majesty was about to cry. When I read about your sorrows, I could even hear his trembling tone. In the end, His Majesty made a special statement that I must entertain you magicians who have endured so many hardships, and that if the situation allows, Bavaria will become your second home. ”

Nickkov's words made the already depressed Gith raise his head: "What, His Majesty Rucario really said that?"

"That's right," said Nikkov, "Your Majesty, he has entrusted me with this matter, and I can take you in now." But ......"

"But what?" said Guise, who had just been a little excited, was most afraid to hear the word, and he was very worried that things would change in the end.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch!" said Nickoff, "if you want to stay under the protection of Bavaria and become part of the kingdom, you should fulfill some of the same obligations as other ordinary people." ”

"Obligation?" Guise didn't expect that his wandering self would one day face the word.

"Yes, I've seen what you're capable of, and magic is an amazing skill. If it is used properly, it will definitely solve the difficulties we are encountering. "As you may know, we've had some minor trouble on the front lines, and the filthy Bohemians have hired a group of Yepharan magicians to deal with us. I hope you'll send some magicians to assist our troops and repel the damned Bohemians. ”、

It's the best option to use a mage against a mage.

"This ......" Gis, who had just thought that he would be stable for a while, did not expect that in the end he would still have to face the sleepless battle with the Yefaran magician. He also understood that Bavaria could not take them in unconditionally, and that they would have to pay some price to obtain Bavarian asylum.

"Can't you do it?" Nickoff raised his tone by two points, "no country is going to take in a bunch of rice borers, and if you can't even show this bit of sincerity, then there is no need to talk about political asylum anymore." ”

After gritting his teeth, Gise made the final decision: "All right, Lord Nikoff. We will select a group of magicians to help you fight the Bohemians. ”

"That's right!" said Nikov, sipping down the black tea from his cup. (To be continued......)
