"Alan?"

I heard Louis say that he was busy with a war in the north, so he didn't inform him to come along, and his development has been going well, and Roshi doesn't feel that there is anything he needs to help with.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you referring to those nobles?"

As early as when he was in the academy, he had heard some gossip, and when he was in the auditorium before, he also felt that something was wrong with the sign of infinitely expanding a small thing.

"It's not—" Louis shook his head

"Knock knock!" was about to continue, when he was interrupted by a polite knock at the door.

Rosie looked over there, and it was a young man with blond hair standing in the doorway, as if he had seen it there, and Rosie took a serious look twice, only to realize that this was the same boy who was standing next to George and heckling him in the auditorium not long ago.

"Ahem!ahem!" Louis coughed twice, "Come in." ”

The blonde boy walked up with a firm step, and stood in front of Roshi and saluted, to Roshi's surprise, he did not perform a noble salute, but a military salute.

Then, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Louis: "My lord, this is what my father has recently collected, and I originally intended to send someone to deliver it to you, and I know that you are here, so let me convey it." ”

Louis nodded, took the letter, then paused for a moment on the badge on his chest and asked, "Are you that kid from the Bruce family?"

"His subordinate's name is Kester. The blonde boy's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Well, got it, you go down first. ”

"Yes. ”

Louis untied the letter and hurriedly glanced at it, and when he had finished, the maid outside the door hurried over a silver candlestick, and Louis set the letter on fire, and then, with a wave of his hand, he withdrew all his men.

After doing all this, he continued to return to the previous topic, and he said apologetically to Roshi, "I'm sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter. Roshi expressed understanding.

Louis then said lightly: "Those aristocratic things are arranged by us, so that it is better to kick out these uncertainties now than to be stabbed by them at a critical moment in the future." ”

Roshi opened his mouth, and only then did he understand why those nobles were so frightened when they saw Louis.

Luis continued: "After so many years of hard work, the kingdom has grown in strength day by day, and since the annexation of Riggira, there is basically no kingdom in this land that can compete with us for a long time. ”

Roch did not doubt this, as the nobility was still prevalent in Northland, with a peasant army, while the kingdom of Pru had begun to centralize power, and the military power had been independently integrated a few years ago.

In addition, the germination of ideology, the emergence of all kinds of tools, and the increase in productivity to a certain extent, it is true that no country can withstand the comprehensive national strength alone.

After a pause, Louis's brows furrowed again: "It's just that castles are often breached from within, and what we have to face now is also an internal enemy." ”

Roshi didn't speak, but listened quietly.

Louis turned to ask: "We've come to this point all these years, in addition to playing the right cards ourselves, one of the most important factors is the support of a person, my lord, do you know who that is?"

"Who?" Roshi asked

"King of Pru, with the great support of Edward VI!" Louis began

"Oh, I've heard that Alan seems to be married to his daughter, Princess Cher of the Kingdom, right? But it looks like he's dead?" asked Roshi

"Well, but his ideas have been inherited, Edward VII. Louis nodded, then he sighed and continued: "Everything we have done before is to deprive the nobles of the kingdom of their rights, to centralize these scattered powers together, in the hands of the king, and of course the royal family will support us. ”

At this, his brows tightened: "What about when power is centralized, do you think the king would be willing to hold this power by another person who is above him in terms of prestige and military exploits?"

"That's—" Roshi nodded.

Although he doesn't understand these intrigues and intrigues, he still learns history after all, after all, he has to take the college entrance examination, isn't it?

There are so many examples of this in Chinese history that Louis understood everything in between.

Louis then said coldly: "It is impossible to let go of these rights, after all, it has become the only weapon for us to defend ourselves, and we have no way but to go further." ”

After a pause, he let out a long sigh, and there was a taste of hatred in his words: "It's just that I have mentioned this matter to Alan many times, and I hope that when that day comes, he can make a decisive decision, but what disappoints me is that I can feel that he has been avoiding it, and I am worried that his hesitation will continue to exist until that day comes, and I, obviously, can't wait for that day." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Luo Xi, with a little reluctance in his eyes: "To be honest, I didn't think he would be able to go so far, and I chose him just to get more chips for myself, but after so many years, in the process of doing these things with him, I gradually accepted everything he did, and took this as the goal of my life, the meaning of life, I have been able to live until now, but I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it after I breathe, and a mistake may even make everything we have paid in this life burned!"

After a pause, he slowly got up, bowed to Roshi, and said solemnly: "My lord, I hope that if when that day comes, Alan still hasn't made a decision, you can give him appropriate help, if..."

He sighed, "If it's really impossible, I hope you can keep him safe..."

After spending a few days in Eiffel City and digesting the crystals, Roshi set out again.

This time he was going to go to the Archie Kingdom thousands of miles away, and he knew from Louis that the wizard who had been in contact with him was in the Aceh Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Arch is located in the northwest of the Norsland continent, near Giethoorn Bay, and if you go inland, the traffic efficiency is too slow at this time.

At Louis's suggestion, Roshi travels to the nearest coastal town, from where he travels aboard the tulip to the kingdom of Archi.

Louis escorted him all the way to the town, and before parting, Roshi gave him a big hug, turned and silently went onto the deck.

He did not return directly to the cabin, but stood on the deck and quietly watched the sailboat leave the harbor little by little, quietly watching the dock shrink little by little, and quietly looking at the old man who also did not leave the harbor, but stood on the dock.

Both understand.

This was the last time they would see each other.
