Gonzalez shrugged, what is there to say about this?
Sooner or later, the Dawn Headquarters will inform the Avengers, but it's only a matter of time, but he has an oath that cannot be leaked.
Before Blake could do anything, Alysina said that she had something to say to the Archduke of Befast. I could only hold back the anger in my heart and give up the command post, I wanted to spread my anger on Link, but I didn't expect Link to find Girard under the pretext of something, and he ran away in the blink of an eye.
Link doesn't want to be a punching bag, Blake is stubborn and reluctant, and belongs to the type of 'Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are', even if he is a child of nature, he may still be scolded for being bloody. So he anointed the soles of his feet and slipped away.
The garrison of the Overwatch was stationed in the outer city, and after the siege ended, it was once again occupied.
There was no need to ask for directions, and following the divine power contained in the magic force of the self-made zuò, Link quickly found the one where Girard was in the dense pile of tents. The barrier set up outside the tent was touched, and before Link could lift the curtain, Girard himself stepped out and bowed respectfully, a scene that stunned everyone nearby, especially the newcomers after the siege.
"Who is that? Master Girard is the number three man in Fort Watch, and he actually wants to salute him?"
"I don't know, I'm quite young, and I don't look like a nobleman. ”
"Altyn?"
There was a lot of talk about it, until the soldiers who had lived through the Battle of Grantham joined in, and they realized that this young man, who was only in his early twenties, was the most discussed child of nature from another world after dinner recently.
I haven't seen him in months, and Girard's strength has improved a little from the last time he left, but compared to Link, it's a drop in the bucket.
As the first guide, Link, who first met Girard, is still an ignorant Chosen One who can't even use his own powers. Now, he is an apostle of the master rank, and he is one step away from the legend, and all he lacks is more experience in the enemy and the exploration of his own strength.
It's really a jealous growth...... Girard secretly thought in his heart that in less than half a year, he had gone from knowing nothing to being able to take charge on his own. Nature's Child is really a bug-like deposit.
Thinking about it, Girard didn't dare to talk to Link in the same way he used to be, so he lifted the curtain and let Link enter his magic tent, and the falling curtain blocked out curious eyes and prying eyes from all directions.
"You came to me specifically to ......"
Link didn't beat around the bush either, and directly explained his intentions, "It's about the strange thing that was given to you, and there are some irreparable flaws." When I came to see Gonzalez, I thought I'd make a new one for you by the way. ”
Girard was full of doubts, thinking that he and Link were not even friends, and he would not be arrogant enough to call himself an enlightenment teacher. With Link's current status, even if the strange thing he made was flawed, was it necessary to reset it for the sake of his less important little role? It was a real strange thing that consumed the magic spirit and soul energy of fate, no matter how much Link cared about his friend Gonzalez. If you want to pave the way for the young Grand Duke who has become chaotic due to Alex's sudden death, there is no need to use this means to achieve the purpose of wooing. He just needs to do what he did at Waolet. Building a temple to stay at the Watchtower under the pretext of fighting the undead can be a sufficient deterrent.
In response to Girard's suspicions, Link had already thought of a countermeasure, "To be honest, if it weren't for the inappropriate law of cause and effect used in making zuò. would jeopardize the survival of the Watch, and I will not ask you to do so. ”
With the reason that the Overwatch would be in danger, no matter how doubtful Girard was, he could not refuse Link's request. Coupled with Link's promise to redo it, he could only pretend to be generous and take out the strange object he was carrying from the space bag.
See the big eyeballs of your own zuò again. Grunt and spun up and down, feeling a little nauseous. Link also regretted the impulse at the beginning, even if Bray's emblem was an eye, there was no need to make it move.
"Is it still the same look? Maybe you want to change it?"
Girard said that it should be exactly the same, which is very deterrent.
The corners of Link's mouth twitched as he stripped off the soul energy that made up the main body of the strange thing, and then extracted a new magic spirit from his body and injected it, whether it was the same shape, color, or function, with Girard's desire for magic and ambition as a bet, no one except Gilard himself would know that the strange thing he had obtained from the Children of Nature had been replaced.
Retrieving the last magic weapon that casts the law of cause and effect, Link breathes a sigh of relief.
Finally got rid of the trouble you created, had a quick talk with Gonzalez, and set off on your way. He had been delaying for too long, and he was running out of time to get the power from the Pillar of Fire before Frost could come up with a new scheme. If the secret is known by Frost or other gods...... The consequences are unimaginable!
The curtain was lifted from the outside, and Girard bowed down again and greeted the visitor: "Grand Duke." ”
Finished talking so soon?
Link turned around, only to see Gonzalez's face with a solemnity that didn't match his age.
"I need to talk to you. ”
As Gonzalez walked out of Girard's magical tent and arrived at Alex's tent, Link couldn't help but sigh that he would never have imagined that he would bring such a big change to the world when he first arrived in Edgar.
After pacing back and forth a few times, Gonzalez's brow was deeply wrinkled by his troubles.
"The Cult of Dawn intends to support me as the new regent. ”
That's what the High Priest was going to talk to Gonzalez alone?Link rubbed his chin and guessed how credible this matter was.
It's not that he doesn't trust Gonzalez, it's that he doesn't trust Dawn, the high priest did this, it was definitely the authorization of the high priest, what was Francesca's purpose in testing Gonzalez?
"What do you think?"
"Personally, I think that it is false to let you replace Colke as regent, and it is true to test your mentality of being a little bit against the undead. ”
Gonzalez nodded, "I think so too, so I'm going to quit." ”
Link gave him a thumbs up.
"Leaving aside whether I, the young Grand Duke, can serve the people, with the current state of the princes scattered, even if I sit in the position of regent, it is meaningless. What's more, the condition that the Dawn Cult supported me was that I would give up the territory of Befast and the army of Fort Watch, and move to the new capital, and I would only agree to their request if I had a bad head. Gonzalez waved his hand.
A fool would say yes...... Link has a black line, Francesca didn't make Gonzalez choose to give up in disguise, who would agree to the nobles with the territory, it's not good! He suddenly thought of the Duke of Esson, who was temporarily living in Vaolet, and his territory was encroached upon by Kabyer, if he couldn't think about it for a while......
"Is the succession regent just for you, or for all the princes?"
"Naturally, it is to face all the great nobles. "If it's just him, why bother Gonzalez.
Now Link paced back and forth.
What is the significance of the High Priest doing this? Although the regent is only an empty title and has no real power, he is always the nominal leader of the human race, and if someone really fills the vacancy of the Colk family, then the Council of the Hall of Mirrors will be held in the future, and it will be the regent who will be present, not the six princes.
This temptation for the Duke of Essonne was really not ordinary, and the loss of his territory and the residence in the territory of his second son embarrassed him both as a nobleman and as a father. Moreover, his words of succession as regent will help Cerves, both openly and secretly, tsk...... Anyway, the nobles can't do much to fight against the undead, so instead of letting them make trouble for themselves, it is better to use the empty position of regent, which has no real influence on the overall situation, to divert the attention of the princes.
After figuring it out, Link reassured Gonzalez and told him not to worry, this was a ploy by the Dawn Sect to divert the attention of the princes.
"The big war is coming, why are they still engaged in these meaningless ......" Gonzalez slammed the sand table spread flat on the wooden table, and the force was so great that the entire sand table fell to the ground with a loud noise. Immediately, several people rushed in, and Link swept them one by one, all of them were acquaintances, Alex's adjutant Hobbes, his personal bodyguard Henry, the current commander Dante, and even the archon Abigail. It can be said that all the important members of the Watch Fort came.
"Yo~" Link raised his hand and greeted them, each with a different expression on their faces.
These people had all gathered from all over the fortress when they learned of the arrival of the Children of Nature, and everyone except Dante was suspicious and wary of Link. Colk has a closer relationship with Dragonrock than a child of nature from another world, and most people believe that Link is responsible for Princess Frannie's fall, because she hindered the alliance plans of the children of nature. These people were even more worried that Link would do the same with Gonzalez.
Sensing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Gonzalez cleared his throat, "Everybody......"
Before he finished speaking, Link stepped forward, "I will not be an enemy of humans until I completely defeat the Undead Empire and pull the Grim Reaper down from the throne." Can you rest assured?" he did not mention the name of Gonzalez, nor the title of Archduke of Befast, but used the more applicable word 'human'.
Everyone's faces changed again and again, and Dante sighed helplessly. This 'guarantee' is completely confirmed by the rumors that Zhu is going to destroy the human race, why doesn't he know how to avoid such a sensitive and dangerous topic, and he still says it stupidly.
Link is not stupid at all, no matter who put this rumor and what his intentions are, no matter what he does, he can't undo the suspicion that has been created, instead of wasting time and energy to do useless work, it is better to find out directly. On one side is the Grim Reaper who wants to exterminate all living beings, and on the other side is a pillar that still has a chance to save himself, as long as you have a brain, you know how to choose.
