Chapter 67: The Spark (I)

In addition to the Duke of Purple who left Shakdam ten years ago, Duke Finance of Silver, Duke Edward of Red, and Duke Fisher of Green are the core of power in this kingdom, and they control more than eighty percent of Shakdam's garrison. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So early the next morning, Lin Qiu came to the square alone.

Four days before his birthday, Ben-Don Quixote gathered all the forces he could mobilize and intensively prepared for the thirteenth great rebellion. Even if Lin Qiu told him that the 13th rebellion might not succeed.

After some time, a carriage stopped beside the square, Edward was dressed in a robe and his whole face was hooded, and he said a few words to the groom, who hurried away. He looked around suspiciously for a while before he made up his mind to walk to the Trevi Fountain.

Lin Qiu, who had everything in his eyes, was amused by the young Grand Duke, and his act of covering his ears and stealing the bell seemed to be afraid that the guards would not notice him--just ask the great Shakdam, who else dared to wander around in broad daylight except for him as the Duke of Chi.

The discerning guards pretended not to notice Edward, and pretended to talk enthusiastically so as not to hurt the young archduke's pride.

"You're here. ”

Lin Qiu, who suddenly appeared behind him, scared Edward so much that he almost screamed, but fortunately, he covered his mouth in time to prevent this embarrassing scene from happening. Edward slowed down for a moment before he said, "I know, what kind of magic you want to teach me must be!"

There is no witchcraft in this world, only Shakdam's fairy tale anthologies, there are simple records of witchcraft. Of course, most of the witchcraft appears on the opposite side of important characters such as elves and fairies, and it is obvious that Edward was also poisoned by these stories, and his heart was extremely weak.

However, in order to realize his political ambitions, in order to marry the daughter of the Grand Duke of Silver, even if he learns witchcraft, he will not hesitate!

"I'm ready. ”

Lin Qiu was very helpless by Edward's expression of seeing death as home, although strictly speaking, using the power of engraving to cheat is indeed the same nature as witchcraft: "What I want to teach you is not some witchcraft, I know that after you go back, you must be thinking about a question: why 'world peace' is easier to achieve than your two wishes." ”

Edward's face changed slightly, he firmly believed that the young man in front of him must be the evil wizard described in the story, and he even had the ability to see through people's hearts!

If Lin Qiu knew what Archduke Edward was thinking at the moment, he would definitely push him into the Wishing Fountain without hesitation, so that he would be sober and sober. Seeing Edward's acquiescence, Lin Qiu continued: "Because there is also a difference in wishes, the gods can only give you a certain power, but cannot directly change the established things. For example, if I make a wish for 'world peace', all the gods can bring to me is the ability and opportunity to bring peace to the world, while your wish is to change the minds of two people, and there is an essential difference between the two. ”

"So you mean that these two wishes will never come true?"

Edward looked frustrated, since he had taken over from his dead father, he had only had two wishes.

"Actually, you were wrong from the beginning, your real opponent is not Archduke Fisher, who disagrees with your politics, but His Majesty Reinhardt. ”

In the past, Edward would have ordered the guards to execute this demagogic wizard, but this time, he was silent, and deep down, there was an inexplicable longing. He was eager to figure out what it took to make his ambitions a reality.

Lin Qiu saw Edward's vacillation, and followed the temptation: "Grand Duke Edward, you already have the ability to change this kingdom, but you don't even realize it." If you don't believe me, let the gods you've always believed in tell you the answer - but what you should wish was, 'I'm going to change this country.'" ”

As he spoke, Lin Qiu threw a toffee over, and Edward took the toffee and was silent for a long time.

As one of the three dukes of Shakdam, he should have shouldered the burden of guarding the country, but he was tempted by the bewitchment of this "wizard". What he admires is the knight king who bravely rushes into the sandstorm area to protect the kingdom and confronts the monsters, rather than the mediocre lord who pounces on Princess Rose and turns the kingdom into this shape after rebuilding the kingdom.

Edward took a deep breath, "Lord God, if you could hear my wishes...... Please give me the power to change this country!"

The toffee fell into the Trevi Fountain, and after a few fluctuations, floated smoothly on the surface.

Edward's heart was beating violently, and in his eyes, the toffee resting on the pool undoubtedly represented the god's answer.

The gods told him that Edward Highberg, the youngest Grand Duke ever to inherit the bloodline of Shakdam, had mastered the power to turn his fortunes around.

Nothing was more terrible than despair after hope for a young and promising duke, who had followed the Knight King into the depths of the desert with the determination to die. His father died in battle, and the burden of the Heiberg family fell on him at the age of 14. However, after they repelled the monster horde and the Knight King finally fulfilled his promise to rebuild Shakdam, the kingdom quietly deteriorated.

Gone is the Shakdam, which stood tall in the desert against the Byronic Empire, and was replaced by a kingdom that existed only for one man.

He was unwilling, but his audience was taken as wind in the ears of the Knight King. Disheartened, Archduke Edward could only pin his last hope on the Trevi Fountain and pray that the gods would help him accomplish what he could not do. In his eyes, if Shakdam wants to complete the transformation, he can only rely on the power of the gods.

Everything he believed was shaken by the appearance of a teenager.

Therefore, Edward really couldn't decide whether to take the words of the young man in front of him or bring him to justice as a traitor.

Just as he wavered, the young man smiled indifferently and said, "Young Archduke Edward, any change will have to pay a price, but now is not the time for you to make a decision. If you believe you have the strength and confidence to change the country, when you return to your home, write your wish on parchment and seal it in a hidden place that you have to turn over from time to time. ”

At the end, Lin Qiu added: "The most important thing is that it is a place that the Knight King did not expect. ”

When he conspires with Ben Don Quixote in the basement, he has a plan in mind. He said that the thirteenth rebellion would not succeed because it was not enough time for him to fully convince the archdukes to turn against Reinhardt.

After all, in their eyes, the current knight king is at most just a faint king who cares about Princess Rose and does not take care of political affairs. This reason was not enough for them to overthrow Reinhardt's rule.

However, once they realize that Reinhardt's true face is that he is a villain who uses his marking power to trap him, including the princess, the situation is completely different.

And these four days were enough for him to plant this fire.
