Arthur stood in front of the Explorers' Guild and glanced inside the hall, where a large crowd was gathering like a fair.

Then Arthur saw the task board on the wall, and he instantly understood why so many people were gathered here.

"Kill the king of the world?"

On that pitiful plank, there were countless zeros crowded together, and there was not a single gap, and anyone who tried to count the bounty would be dizzy and eventually give up.

From top to bottom, the quests in order of bounty look wild, including contributing to Loren, where the Holy See is located, killing Magellan, and killing science, in addition to killing the king of the world.

"It's like a world war. ”

Arthur sighed helplessly, and then began to gather information through the crowd.

The results surprised him.

It was nothing for science to go to war with the king of the world, but no one could have expected that the king of the world would actually escape, abandon Francie, and come to the Holy Loren Empire.

What's even more incredible is that both sides of the war have issued missions in the Explorers' Guild and have also come up with a staggering amount of bounties, which is why the explorers gathered, no matter how you look at it, it is full of unreal flavor.

"Is the money here so easy to get?"

Both the Baron and the Valkyrie could read the text on the task board, but they couldn't understand the meaning of the words at all, whether it was the number that was as big as a joke or the content of the mission, it was like a botched bedtime story.

"Overall," Arthur sighed, "it's pretty easy to take." ”

While the most rewarding missions weren't easy to complete, the average quest wasn't difficult for Arthur, and he hadn't taken on bounties elsewhere for a long time since the Explorers Guild was founded.

"I saw war. ”

Brünnhilde may seem like a noblewoman, but she is a Valkyrie after all, and the power of the gods allows her to see the surging tide of war in this complicated appearance.

"Yes, the army of the Holy Spirit of science is in Francie, and the king of the world is in the Holy Loren Empire," Arthur didn't know if the Valkyrie could understand what this ongoing war represented, "All in all, it's war." ”

"Let's go. ”

Brünnhilde knows science, and although she doesn't know the king of the world, Valkyrie doesn't want to know about this war anymore, she hates science.

"Wait," the baron spoke first just as Arthur was about to speak, "I want to know what's going on." ”

"What?"

Arthur was a little surprised, he didn't expect the baron to be interested in this war that had nothing to do with him.

"You said that the two sides of the war are science and the king of the world, and the king of the world is in the territory of the Holy Loren Empire, that is, the country has been involved," the baron showed such a solemn expression for the first time, he looked like a real knight, and people couldn't help but want to listen, "I must do something, otherwise after the defeat of the king of the world, the whole country will be implicated." ”

Arthur took a moment to organize the language and understand the situation, and the war went incredibly fast, and in the end even he was surprised.

Then both the Baron and Brünnhilde understood what was happening.

Science was about to break Francie's last resistance.

"What is the position of the Holy Loren Empire?"

Arthur took a moment, and in this war, the position of the Holy Loren Empire was vacillating and extremely chaotic, and no one could sort out the specific situation.

"The Holy Loren Empire is not a unified whole, some archdukes support the king of the world, and some do not. ”

Then the baron sighed.

"But the King of the World is now in the Holy Loren Empire. ”

Arthur smiled helplessly, he didn't care about any of this: "So?"

"The Holy Loren Empire is destined to be tied to the king of the world, and science will not listen to any explanation. ”

Arthur smiled even more helplessly.

When science does go to war, Magellan's prediction has already come true, and science is not going to be a war at all, but to destroy the old world.

"The empire has to do something. ”

The baron no longer needed Arthur to explain anything, he came to a conclusion, and Brünnhilde agreed with him.

"Doing nothing in a war is the most stupid, not only shameful, but also a sure defeat. ”

Arthur shook his head helplessly, he had already taken a mission, and the three of them left the Explorers Guild together.

......

Unexpectedly, the trio returned to their lodgings to find that their dinner time would be spent with the lord of the place, the Grand Duke, one of the Electors.

"Professor Magellan has a reputation, right?"

Arthur was ready to leave, but he didn't mind feasting on a nobleman's dinner.

"Please put on the name of the baron, I think the Grand Duke is probably a relative of the baron. ”

Before the baron could express his surprise, Brünnhilde nodded: "Yes, I remember that the duke here is a relative of the Schmidt family. ”

"So, do I know him?"

The Baron's question was dissipated as soon as the dinner began, and he drank the best beer with the Duke, laughing loudly at the table as if no one was around, like a long-lost brother.

The Grand Duke undoubtedly knew the history of the Schmidt family, and he showed enough respect for the Valkyries to be a little distant from the three Bretanians.

At the climax of the dinner, when the baron narrowly won the Grand Duke in a wine fight, he suddenly spoke of the war going on.

"Are you rooting for the King of the World?"

The Grand Duke shook his head: "I hate that woman, she made another woman the emperor of the Holy Loren Empire, this is humiliating all the electors. ”

"But in war, you have to support her, and you have to act now. ”

The baron's words echoed through the hall, and the place became extremely silent for a moment.

"Why?"

The Grand Duke put away his loud voice, and he lowered the beer glass in his hand.

"In any case, if the King of the World is within the Empire, and has not been attacked or expelled, science will definitely consider the Holy Loren Empire to be an ally of the King of the World, and his attack will soon fall on the Empire, and no one will want to avoid it. ”

"It was not me who brought in the science, but other dukes, cowards, who surrendered to the king of the world because they couldn't beat Francy. ”

The Grand Duke was in a very bad mood, and everyone could see that he poured a beer so hard that his face turned red.

"You should join the war and help the king of the world!"

The baron yelled, and drank the beer from his glass as well.

"Don't think!"
