Chapter 18: The Game of Chess (2)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Claudia brings an update from the inside story that Doyle's biological father is Melville, a reclusive ranger in the wilderness who was formerly a child of nature who was given the name Harvey by the Empire three hundred years ago to form Fort Dragonrock and serve as the first commander of Befast.

"Descendants of Befast?!" was an explosive piece of information that made Frankie look blushed.

In today's aristocratic circle, there are more than five people who are qualified to compete for the position of regent, and although the other nobles still have hereditary titles, they have long been unworthy of the name. The Duke of Kronberg happened to be one of them, and if Doyle really had Bafast blood, then ...... Even the current Archduke of Befast had to give up his position. At that time, it would be easier for him to replace the Kolk line as the new regent of the United Kingdom than any other prince.

"Are you sure?"

"It's true, the news just arrived this morning. It was from Bunian of Kronberg, and there they were. "Claudia was born in Cobweb, and even if Cobweb is no longer the intelligence organization formed and controlled by the Natural Alliance, she still has a close relationship with it, especially after leaving Longyan Fort and entering the new capital, as a royalist, she has become an introducer.

"Bunian, how did you get there, so close to the Storm Sea......" Frankenie muttered to herself. She doesn't trust all the information about the cobwebs. But now that the royal family's secret is hidden in Kronberg's eyes, and the adventurers' union is very close to the children of nature, she has no choice.

"I don't know. I think it's very likely that this is true, otherwise the Dawn Sect wouldn't have sent the Great Priest as well. Cronberg has been clashing with the Wood Elves on the border lately, and his two sons have also died at the hands of the Wood Elves. ”

Claudia's analysis worries Farni even more.

The Dawn Sect definitely doesn't want the Wood Elves to go to war with humans, so let's play this card. It can defuse an unnecessary war and establish a stronghold in the east, which they have been unable to penetrate, killing two birds with one stone.

"How many people are there over there?"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, what are you going to ......?"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to assassinate Doyle. Not to mention me, even the current Duke of Kronberg, would not agree to hand over the title. What's more, there is also the shadow of the undead there...... "Frankie asked Claudia to send a message to Cobweb, no matter what the cost, to gather information on Doyle and his party. With a high priest by her side, no assassination attempt can escape her prophecy, and even if she succeeds, it will only discredit the royal prestige she has built up with great difficulty.

As the titular princess of the United Kingdom, Farni is not an ordinary aristocrat as the common people are well known, and she is carefree all day long. Internal and external troubles made her father. Prince Kolk was addicted to alcohol, and he couldn't extricate himself. Even if only half of the twelve princes of the Empire collapsed after the invasion of the undead, the royal family that had already sunset was still unable to regain the right to rule from the nobles, and even the commoners who did not know a few big characters knew that the royal family only enjoyed nominal dignity, and the real rulers were the nobles and nobles who were the princes.

Farney hates her gender, and if she is born male, she can legitimately go to the front of the stage, not only behind the scenes. What people fancy and praise is only the power attached to her appearance and bloodline. She doesn't want to be an accessory to a man, a rose that can only be hidden in the deep palace.

A magical talent inherited by blood. Frannie became a disciple of Bard the Sage, and in order to regain royal power, she either co-opted or killed the nobles who could not be bought, and gradually absorbed the territory, but as soon as it had some effect, she was destroyed by the children of nature who appeared out of nowhere. No matter how strong the power of the world is, it cannot withstand the power of the gods.

Worried by Cronenberg's recent situation, Frannie summoned Bridge, the president of the Adventure Guild, to try to dig up news about the Child of Nature from his mouth.

The Guild of Adventurers, who had been silent for many years, had a resounding title like the imperial royal family. Bridge, like Britney, dreams of a comeback one day.

At Jane's command, Bridge made only a simple bow. Knowing that the princess wanted to know Link's whereabouts, the old fox took out the pre-prepared statement. He said that the child of nature did not leave any contact information, only that he would send the magic items made to the union branch. It's been more than ten days since Nature's child left Vaolet, and the union has no idea of his whereabouts.

Claudia, who was hiding to the side and testing her spells, shook her head repeatedly, but Bridge was not lying. Britney had no choice but to ask if she had received a new item.

Bridge didn't answer right away. The Son of Nature joined the Son of Nature far more than he expected, and despite the distrust and fear of the nobles towards the apostle of the pillar, the fact that he had changed the status quo of the union could not be concealed. But......

After some thought, Bridge decided to make overtures to the royal family. This delicate princess is not simple, she is not only a high-level mage, but also has a considerable political mind, maybe she can revitalize the decaying royal family, and she must not be offended.

"The latest prop was received this morning, in Nax City. "Bridge played a dim sum trick, he didn't know the truth about Link's whereabouts, but he lied about where the prop appeared. It's a well-known fact that lifeweavers cannot be prophesied, so no one will use polygraphic spells or magic items on this point.

The so-called newly received magic items are actually made by Link in the city of Valolet, which is much worse than the four sold yesterday, but it is also a good magic item, especially for the two classes of thieves and assassins, and it is exactly four pieces, and Bridge is thinking about selling them in the form of kits. Ten days have passed, and Nature's Child still hasn't delivered new items, so he can only save up a set and hold an auction to hide his eyes.

Bridge's calculations had fooled Britney, and her clasped hands were sweating slightly.

To the west? To the new capital? The apostle of the pillar of the wind can transform into a bird, and ten days is enough time for him to fly to the new capital, why choose such a time-consuming and laborious way as walking? Is it really as rumored that the nobles who have dealings with the undead should be secretly eliminated?

This inside information Frankie got from Hohenheim.

The first chosen elector of the new god of magic was the Lifeweaver from the same exiled lands as the Children of Nature, who, according to him, were confronted on the way to Vaolet by outcasts who had provoked the Otherworldly to plunder, and the enraged Children of Nature burned the traitors in collaboration with the Lich to ashes. The reason why the nobles are so afraid is also because most of them have shady things to do with the undead.

Despite years of painstaking planning, Frannie felt that the presence of the Children of Nature wasn't necessarily all bad for her. At least it would be a great help in diverting the greed and attention of the nobles, and it would be possible to blame the children of nature for all the nobles who had been assassinated. The fat stuff won't be investigated at all.

"Is Her Royal Highness interested in magic props?" Seeing that Frankie was silent for a long time, Bridget tried to change the subject, "You studied under Bard the Sage, so you shouldn't be able to look down on those gadgets." ”

Deliberately pretending to be a merchant, Bridge was worried that Frannie would really ask him for Rin's magic props to restrain Zuò. The rest were of little value, but he feared that Frankie Guò would have some special means to track down the whereabouts of the Children of Nature. The Lifeweaver itself cannot be prophesied. It doesn't mean that it can't be traced back to it, but the ingredients, materials, origin, and storage point of the props before they are made can all come in handy.

"I've only seen the apostles of the pillar in the scriptures, and I'm a little curious. Knowing that she had no other useful information from Bridge, Frankie smiled kindly.

Bridge, who exited the audience hall, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although there were only empty shelves, the royal family was still there, and he didn't dare to be sloppy and would not underestimate the princess who was named Rose. What made Bridge even more afraid to relax for a moment was the storage of another breath in the audience hall. Breathing almost inaudible, walking lightly and silently, almost blending in with the shadows, it is able to do so in such a way that only night elves are known to be humanoids. And there is only one eligible person in the palace of the new capital - Claudia, the former Ranger general of Longyan Castle who received the title of earl.

When the Adventurers' Guild was still in its glory stages, Bridge noticed the half-blood elf, and the cobwebs that still belonged to the Nature Alliance were transferred to Dragonrock Fort. He served as the leader of the ranger unit until the fortress was breached by the orcs. Later, together with Commander Alex, he supported the Archduke of Cork, who had fled from the north, and the remaining princes to form the Provisional United Kingdom. He has assisted three generations of Kolk regents and won the trust of the Kolk family. There are even rumors among the nobility that it is the princess Frannie who ostensibly handles government affairs in place of her drunken father, but in fact, it is Claudia who has gone from the front of the stage to the back of the scenes who secretly controls the new capital.

Intelligence not inferior to cobwebs shows in recent years. Under the influence of Claudia, the princess made frequent moves and secretly replaced many nobles who refused to obey her, because the strength of the princes today is not as strong as that of the Twelve Lords, and the connection is not close. The adjacent areas radiating from Xindu have all been subsumed into the Kolk faction, and if there is no Child of Nature, within ten years, humanity will inevitably experience another internal strife.

On the way out of the palace, Bridget even had the idea that perhaps this was one of the reasons why the Pillar summoned the Children of Nature from the Otherworld, and that without the bonds of subjects and species, he could carry out the tasks assigned by the Pillar more justly, rather than turning his back on his duties as a Child of Nature out of mercy as his predecessor Befast.

Thinking of this, Bridge sighed.

He also learned about the rumor that Zhu was going to destroy the Miè Humans, no matter who spread it, if the Pillar really wanted to destroy the Miè Humans, it would be good to use its elemental power directly, so why bother to get a Life Weaver from the Otherworld. Compared with other species, human beings are so fragile that hunger, poverty, and illness can easily take human lives, and with a little external force, they can completely wipe out human beings who are already on the verge of destruction.

Under the ravages of the undead, there is a decadent apocalyptic aura in the royal palace, the new capital, and even the entire human territory, and there will probably never be more uplifting news than the destruction of human beings by the gods......

Sensing a familiar aura, Bridge, who stepped out of the palace gates, looked out at the trees lined with the streets, and a familiar face of his came into view. The union and his own rival - the collar of the cobweb, codenamed Mesh.

This guy was unabashedly outside the palace, apparently coming to block me, and it seems that the Son of Nature has joined as a craftsman to pose a great threat to him......

Bridge greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see." ”

The management of Spider Web does not use real surnames, and they all use code names as names.

About forty years old, the cobwebcollar, much younger than Bridge, had a gloomy face, and even his own mother couldn't recognize it under the effect of the transfiguration magic.

"You didn't come to see me in person, didn't you just stare at me here? I'm not with you. With that, Bridge made a gesture to leave.

"How did you catch him. ”

Without naming names, Bridge knew that the 'he' that the mesh was talking about was Link, the child of nature. Bridge had a dark chill, and it was indeed right to choose to catch up with the Children of Nature, all these years. The union is suppressed by cobwebs everywhere, not only the intelligence has been robbed, but even the mercenaries are almost unprotected, but fortunately, now affected by the invasion of the undead, the mercenaries still have to rely on the union's branches in various places to receive commissions, and if the mercenaries are really independent, the union will not be able to maintain its operation.

In less than half a day, the headquarters applied for the return of some prop masters who had left the union for various reasons. As the influence of the Child of Nature grew, Bridges firmly believed. The benefits for the unions far outweigh the troubles caused by Link's sensitive identity.

But that's all for later, and the current thing to do is to mock the old opponent.

Bridge, stroking his well-groomed goatee, replied in a modest tone, "It was the one who came to me and said he wanted to work with me." ”

However, to Bridge's surprise, the mesh that has always been poisonous did not refute it, and the eyes that were called cold by countless people like snake eyes just stared at Bridge, and did not speak. It's been a long time. He turned and walked away, quickly disappearing into the alleys of the new capital that extended in all directions.

Bridge looked in the direction the mesh was leaving. Suddenly, there was a lingering worry in my heart.

Mesh's words seem to have a deep meaning......
