But Robert didn't know what to say at this time: "But since that Divine Seal wants to capture you and be its stand-in in the past, why don't we just kill you here now! Without your stand-in running around, that Divine Seal won't be able to conquer the world, right?"

Stannis gave him a murderous look and made him realize for himself how indebted he was.

Fortunately, Master Romon relieved him and said, "That will not work, even if we kill Your Excellency, chop him into pulp, burn him to ashes, throw him into a pigsty, and completely erase his existence." The Divine Seal will also be looking for the next person to infect, so we need to fix the problem once and for all while the situation is still under control, so that it doesn't continue to spread in the territory. ”

Lady Lomon's words discouraged Robert's urge to slash his eldest brother, although Stannis was grateful that he came out to relieve himself, but in fact, the words behind "kill Your Excellency" needless to say, it is too alarmist.

However, Robert still asked curiously: "To deal with so many Chaos people, we must at least organize a huge army, but boss, where are we going to find so many people?"

Stannis smiled, he had already thought of his allies who could provide him with reinforcements.

"First the troops in my own territory plus the troops of my allies, a total of 500 people. ”

The chief knight nodded.

"And after settling two more groups of refugees, we can recruit another batch of soldiers to enlist, Master Romon?"

"I can recruit two hundred more people. Maester Romon immediately gave him the answer he wanted.

"And then?" asked Robert, expectantly.

"To hire mercenaries, we can first borrow from the merchants, mortgage the customs duties of the port to them to repay the debt, borrow 2,000 gold coins first, and it is expected that the shipping channel will be thawed after the beginning of spring, and it will be repaid with interest in four months. ”

"Boss, with so much money, you can hire a medium mercenary group of two or three hundred people. ”

"And father-in-law, where can I squeeze some more people over, by the way, aren't there still some little lords around?"

"But that's not enough. ”

"Yes, it's not enough, but we still have Erathia's army. ”

Stannis finally opened his first card face down.

"Erathia, will they be so kind to help us?" Even the Knight Commander didn't quite believe that the Empire would come to our aid for something that didn't have oil or water.

"Of course they will come. Stannis said confidently, "I'm still useful as a pawn, and they can't bear to let me die." ”

And so, the plan for help was roughly settled, and Maester Romon began to write letters to be sent by ravens, while Stannis kept wandering back and forth beside him, staring at his staff leaning against the table.

"Your Excellency, you've been looking at my cane all the way, is there anything special?"

Maester Romon has returned to his usual humility.

But Stannis could no longer look at him as a verbose old man, and he was very excited and secretly leaned over to Lady Romon and whispered, "Does your granddaughter know that you are a super powerful mage?"

The old man shook his head with a smile, obviously he didn't want to drag the grievances of the previous generation into the reincarnation of the next generation.

"Is the one next to your hand the Sage's Staff?" Stannis asked with interest as he pointed to the cane shaped like a cane, no wonder so many mages pointed at them when they first entered the city, it turned out that the old man had hidden such a big killing weapon, and he didn't know how much it could be sold.

But unexpectedly, Master Romon shook his head, "This is not the Sage's Staff, this is an ordinary walking stick I used when I was young, but because my reputation was too famous at that time, many people suspected that I was holding a lost Legendary Staff, which was compiled into the book by the Good Deeds, causing me a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

"But, Vincent thinks so too! As a mage with the same name as you, he has grown from childhood to adulthood, so he will not admit to mistake. ”

Lady Romon shook his head, indicating that he had made a mistake again.

"No one else but me and my teacher ever saw this legendary staff of great fame again, because we never took it out for use. ”

"Why, wouldn't it be too violent to have such a powerful weapon of murder and not to take it out!" Stannis felt as a waste.

But the old man hung his head, this secret is usually passed down between guardians, but in the face of him, Romon decided to tell the truth: "The reason why it can't be used is simple, because the true Sage's Staff has long been broken into seven pieces. ”

"How could this be!" Stannis never imagined that things would go the way this way, "Is there any mistake, how can an epic staff be damaged!"

Master Romon sighed, "When the moon is at its fullest, it also means the beginning of its deficit, because the power contained in the Sage's Staff is too strong, causing the white altice wooden staff that contains its magic power as a carrier to break into several pieces in a huge magic duel and can no longer be repaired, this secret is only known to the Guardians of the past generations, so Vincent thought that this staff still existed and longed for it." ”

"That'...... That staff is already scrapped, how can you still fight him to a draw, or even defeat him for a while?"

Lady Romon took his cane and pointed it to the top of the slit, only to realize that there was a small piece of wood embedded in the hollowed out.

"Because I hid a small fragment of the Sage's Staff in my cane, and although it was broken, the great power did not disappear, and it longed for the day when it was reforged. ”

A fragment was so powerful that Stannis couldn't imagine how terrifying the full Sage's Staff would be.

"By the way, I heard Vincent say that your teacher left you three treasures, besides the Sage Staff in your hand and the source of magic in his hand, what else is it?"

The question stopped Maester Romone, but it wasn't that he had forgotten the name of the object, but that it had stirred up memories of his past, painful memories that had left him with them.

Eventually, he replied, "Yes, my teacher left behind three powerful magical items with which he swept through the Western Continent in his youth, holding a record of seventy-two consecutive undefeated duels. After he left, he passed them on to his last students, me, Vince, and Cortana, respectively, as a symbol of the invincible Sage Staff, the source of immortal magic, and ......"

He paused for a moment, and finally said, "The miraculous kamikaze." ”
