Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Envoy from the New Capital (II)

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

The viscount's facial muscles twitched, and he heard that this child of nature was from another world, but he didn't expect to understand Edgar's human history so much, so he pointed to Orlando's hand and didn't know where to put it.

The Kolk family is a descendant of the empire, and the two families have maintained an intermarriage for hundreds of years, and the relationship is very close, but it is not orthodox. Therefore, after the decline of the royal family, Kolk's status naturally plummeted. Not to mention the twelve lords during the rebellion of the princes, even the current nobles in various places refused to obey the dispatch, if it were not for the princess's promise that if the negotiation could be successful, he would be named the new duke, only Newman, who had the title of viscount and was only an elemental envoy, would not have ventured into this troubled water.

Before going to Cronberg, Newman was secretly summoned by the princess, and Frannie made it clear that she wanted to reclaim the title and fiefdom of the East Lord, and in order to lobby Newman, she also repeatedly assured that the local people had become disillusioned with the Doyle family because of the invasion of the undead, and the biggest obstacle to this trip was the children of nature behind the wood elves.

The restoration of faith and the end of the elemental tide made Flani think that this was a sign that the pillar was bound by the law, and that even if the Child of Nature still had divine powers, the gods would no longer allow him to do whatever he wanted. With a new god, Hohenheim will thrive again, and there will be no need to fear an oracle who is bound by many rules.

While the Viscount was recalling his mission, Link also quietly used his divine knowledge and watched the secret meeting of his life in the new capital from beginning to end.

This ability is good, but unfortunately it can only be used once a day, if there is no limit, frost and cold are not afraid of tricks.

[There is no limit, isn't it to ask for God.] Lorelei reminds Link, don't forget that this is the scene of negotiations, and staying too long will be treated as another contempt.

Link couldn't help but laugh out loud, [I thought that the princess of the regent family who was hiding behind the scenes would be a resourceful character. I didn't expect her to be so short-sighted. It doesn't matter if she can't see the situation clearly, after all, there is a conspirator like Shuang Han, and no one can count him, but she can't even put herself in the right position. The most important thing for a mage is always the self, not the future of mankind, let alone the kingship. Betting all your hopes and chips on Hohenheim was a mistake in itself. Thus. This princess must have been a mage.

Dawn is headquartered in the new capital, and Doyle has more or less heard rumors about the princess behind the regent, and has been secretly manipulating the new capital for ten years. Link actually deduced from a brief meeting with GuΓ² that the princess was still a mage?

[In Edgar, who respects the gods and sees miracles everywhere, there has been no major progress in ten years, and the ability of this princess can be seen, and there is no threat. 】

Doyle has a special status, is rarely allowed to go out, and knows almost nothing about politics. Although he knew that Link was making fun of Princess Frannie, he didn't quite understand how he could see that the princess was incompetent, and asserted that she was not much of a threat?

Watching the envoys chatter about the exploits of the Colk family in the north, Link continued to explain to the inquisitive Doyle.

[The biggest advantage of the nobles who claim to be noble is that they have a pure bloodline that has been bred through decades or even hundreds of years of intermarriage, which is the most suitable for learning spells. Coupled with Hohenheim's status among the human race, becoming a mage is an inevitable choice for nobles, as I said before, mages are very egoistic. It's a profession-determining trait that anyone can get infected. It's like the dedication of the clergy. The higher the rank, the less concerned you are about the mundane world. They are all busy improving their strength, so that they can become saints one day sooner, this is the supreme pursuit of the mage. 】

Link can even deduce the life of this princess, and after becoming a mage, his eyes have been broadened. Not confined to the aristocratic circle of superiority and only pleasure, she should know that the empire is irretrievable, and it will be difficult to reverse unless she has the strongest force. In the material realm. Except for miracles, only a mage can do it, so she bets all her hopes on Hohenheim, hoping to use the power of mages to revive the royal family and continue the glory of her ancestors.

At the end, Link added, "Humans always want to be saviors or heroes. 】

At this time, the viscount spoke dryly, but except for his own envoys, the rest of the people present were like wandering into the sky, and they were unmoved by his hard speech.

The corners of the elven king's eyes drooped, and the posture under his feet had not changed since he sat down, and although the suspicious man beside him looked left and right, his eyes were full of disdain and disdain. The Grand Priest had an official smile on his face, his eyes narrowed so that he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The two children of nature were even more excessive, the half-human, half-bird woman was expressionless, and the man from the other world who was the focus of this visit was holding it with one hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his eyes were turning from time to time, clearly wandering! And the young man behind him, who was neither male nor female, was obviously dressed in the costume of the Dawn Sect, but he stood behind the child of nature, looking like a guard, it was just nonsense! The great priest didn't teach him the rules!

The viscount was in his heart for a while, but he didn't know that Link had already figured out the purpose of his trip, including several ways to deal with it secretly taught by Princess Frannie.

After telling Doyle that the envoy was not afraid, Link stopped his conscious communication and began to concentrate on dealing with the royal envoy, who was also confused: "It turns out that it is Colker's work to fight the undead. ”

Newman hurriedly changed his tune, "The Natural Alliance also owes a lot of money. ”

Link sneered, "Regardless of the merits, let's talk about the mistakes." In the wartime, the north was tight, who was dragging its feet in the rear? At the height of the battle, who lost the Longyan Fort that blocked the orcs? In the past 40 years or so, who has sold the common people to the undead again and again?"

Newman was speechless, and Linkho stood up and sharply accused, "It's a nobleman with wine bags and rice bags! A nobleman who can only be a prestige! The commoners are hungry and poorly clothed, but the nobles are big fish and meat, and they are extravagant and wasteful." The people here disappeared when they needed help the most, and now that they have jumped out to reclaim their titles and fiefs, can the royal family of the new capital be a little more shameless?"

In order to further combat this pretentious envoy, Link made a point of explaining Orlando's background.

"The nephew of the Wood Elf King, the son of the duke of the Princes' Rebellion, who is of pure blood, and who has given up the elves' longevity and leisurely life when he learns of what his descendants have done, who among the nobles can do it? Can you?

Newman was furious. Protest Link insulted not only him, but also the royal family.

Link put his hands behind his back and circled around the viscount, "Insult? If you really want to do that, I won't see you at all, just hand you over to the people who have nowhere to vent their grievances." Let them beat you to death, and then use this to provoke conflicts between Kronberg and the royal family, and then logically put the last member of the Doyle family on the throne, and the people will definitely be more willing to accept Greg who will fight against the undead with me than the princess who thinks she can reap the benefits of the new capital. ”

Newman was so refuted that he wanted to defend himself, but he racked his brains and didn't say a word, so he could only stand in awkwardness. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the suspicious man who was known as the last direct line of the Doyle family, and suddenly found a breakthrough. "Your Excellency said that he is a direct descendant of the Doyle family, what evidence can you prove?"

"Proof?" Link looked back at the Elven King, "Isn't he enough?"

Newman was stunned, the elf king was noble, and he couldn't say that he was a fake, but ...... Even if it's true, you can't just admit it so lightly. If you don't get a title and a fief, forget it, just go back empty-handed. It will definitely be scolded by Princess Frannie, and even ...... It is possible to lose the head.

Thinking of the princess's resoluteness and means. Newman turned his attention to the High Priest for help. The Dawn Sect is the state religion of the empire, its headquarters has been moved to Xindu, and the princess herself is also a believer, so her here, doesn't it mean that the Dawn Sect has the intention of expanding eastward? If this so-called elven prince and nephew inherit the title, Crumenberg will definitely become the diocese of Evga.

What Newman didn't expect was this. The Grand Priest reacted, but he didn't speak for the royal family.

"In the name of Dawn's justice, I hereby certify that Greg Orlando is indeed a direct descendant of the Doyle family. The inheritance is superior to Vera Doyle. ”

Newman looked at Arisina who raised her hand and took the oath, and it took a long time to find her voice, "Grand Priest, how can you help them speak? And who is this Vera Doyle?!"

Doyle, whose name was read, coughed dryly, "It's me." ”

Newman's gaze scanned back and forth between Link, Alicina, the Elven King, Orlando, and Doyle, and he finally realized that he would not be able to complete the task given by Princess Frannie.

Although it is unknown how the Children of Nature persuaded the High Priest, they had already decided that 'Grego' would succeed them to the throne.

Realizing this, Newman's expression became gloomy, but as soon as anger grew in his heart, Link's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"You're just an outpost she's sent to tempt, and you're of no value other than death. ”

Newman's heart skipped a beat, and he already vaguely felt that his trip didn't make much sense.

"Her promise of a knighthood and fief is nothing but an impossible lie. There are so many people under the royal rose, how can you not count the turn of you, the little viscount?What made you get carried away and believe the princess's deception?"

"I ......" was said by Link, Newman suddenly became confused, and his mind was involuntarily led away.

When he first heard it, he wondered why Princess Frannie had entrusted him with such an important task.

The princess lifted herself up, and she was so close that he could even smell the fragrance coming from among her. Soft-spoken, with anticipation in his eyes, he was moved in a few words, and promised to do the drudgery.

Don't...... It's entirely possible that she used a spell on me! The princess is a close disciple of Sage Bard, a master rank, and I am just an ordinary elemental envoy, and after I can't be promoted any further, I gave up continuing to suspend my studies, and I can't resist her spells at all.

Can...... Why did she do this, is it really as the child of nature said, just to use me as cannon fodder, she doesn't need to deceive at all, just tell the truth, I will willingly die for her who admires the princess.

Newman struggled all over his face, completely oblivious to the strangely shaped ring on the hand on his shoulder, which was shining red. He forgot the most important point, the summons were secret, and even the princess's side of the princess, the princess-like wise lady Claudia, was not present, and how did the children of nature know these specific conditions.

Arisina focused her gaze on Link's right hand, as did Kyryll, but neither of them interrupted Link's inducement.

In the end, Newman shook his head with a dejected face and laughed at himself, "I'll go back to Xindu and return to the princess." ”

"You can't go. "See to achieve the goal. Link withdrew his hand, he had just used the utility attached to Malik's emblemβ€”a daily trickery that could easily shake the viscount's mind, no matter how difficult it was.

"Why, I don't even have the right to leave? The Children of Nature want to put me under house arrest? If you do that, your Excellency will really meddle in the internal affairs of mankind. "Even if I don't want to finish the task anymore. Newman still wants to report back to the princess about the failed reconquest in person, and reminds her to be careful of this seemingly young but eloquent Otherworldly Life Weaver.

"I have no problem with your whereabouts, but if you die on the way back to the new capital, won't you give that slightly clever princess a chance to frame me? When I'm done with what I'm doing, you can go back. Jafar, take the delegation to Commander Hansen. He will arrange a suitable accommodation for you. As soon as Link finished speaking, the wolf who had been lying on the ground stood up, and the reminder of being taller and stronger than a family dog scared the other members of the legation who were not combat-ready.

"Rest assured, it's only leading the way, not secretly executing you, and I don't want Princess Flani's plan to succeed. ”

Receiving a hint from Link's eyes, Jafar said in lingua franca as he passed by the members of the legation, "Follow me." ”

Immediately, these noble lackeys who were usually used to acting as powerful screamed in shock.

"The wolf has spoken!"

"Monsters!"

"We're going to be eaten. ”

I feel like I've wasted enough time and tongue on these people. Link waved his palm impatiently at the Viscount, motioning for him to get out of the arena quickly. By the way, take away those brave henchmen.

"Shut up!" Newman snorted, successfully stunting his huddled and trembling men, "you've lost your face." ”

Finally sending off the envoys, the Elven King, who had been silent, raised his head and asked if what Link had just said was purely to scare the envoys of the new capital, or if it was true.

"The first half is true. The second half is my guess, it should be ** not far from ten, it should not be wrong. I have seen it with divine knowledge, and this viscount was sent by order of Princess Frannie, and he was only secretly summoned to him. If it is not out of the idea that even if it fails, no one will know about it, and it will not be a shame, then it is to deliberately plant Orlando with the crime of killing the royal envoy. She can even add some nobles of high status to the team's death list, such as ...... Her political enemies. ”

[I only show it now, you seem to be honest and responsible, but your mind is so treacherous!] Link's expression made Doyle stunned, although he already knew that he could speak, but he didn't expect his eloquence and mind to turn so quickly, she didn't think at all that the envoys might be a conspiracy set up by the royal princess.

Link justified himself, he was cunning at best, and cunning was clearly used to describe bad people.

The High Priest stood up and asked Doyle to speak alone, who turned his gaze to Link.

[Go, you two should have a good talk and untie the knot. When you finish dealing with the things here, you will go to Nanyanzhou with me, where it is dangerous and abnormal, maybe something will happen, maybe this is your last chance to get along, cherish it, don't make any more awkward trouble. Link's last sentence caused Doyle, who had already taken a few steps, to stagger to her feet, and she couldn't help but look back and glare fiercely.

[When did I get into trouble!]

[It's obviously a tsundere attribute.] Link continued to complain, and seeing that Doyle's anger was about to escalate, he hurriedly turned his head to the Elven King, saying that he would build the first temple of the Nature Sect in Voran.

Naturally, the Elven King would not object, and his tone tactfully implied that Orlando was the future ruler of Volan City, and these matters should be discussed with him.

"I mentioned it to him, of course. ”

Link's words made the Elf King's heart sink, and he specially told me?

It immediately occurred to him that the royal court was located within the enchantment of the Guardian Land, which was more suitable for building a temple than Voran, and that the elves were devout and would not be half-hearted like humans. What is the purpose of the Child of Nature deliberately mentioning this to himself? Is it to imply that I am helping Orlando to secure the throne of the lord? Orlando is my nephew, and I should take care of him, so naturally the Child of Nature does not need to be reminded of this. But if it weren't for that......

The Elven King really couldn't think of what Link was implying in his words.

Seeing that the other party was so sluggish, Link could only take the initiative to break it, "If you want to defeat the Immortal Empire, you can't just rely on humans who always like infighting. ”

Now the Elf King understands that Link wants to form an alliance.

Originally, Link intended to use the alliance as an exchange for the supply of divine power, but in order to save Orlando, he had to give up. Now retreat to the second, it's the same to find the elf king, Ai Fujia should know that she didn't set up the new temple in the royal court, she deliberately left her elf believers, how much, she should also make a little return.

"If it's against the undead, I can accept your Alliance's invitation on behalf of my people. "The Elven King agreed very easily, this is not the first time that multiple races have fought together against the undead, forty years ago, the Wood Elves participated in the battle under the banner of the Natural Alliance, but unfortunately, they lost that time.

Accomplished, Link stroked the ring on his right index finger. Now, it's time to talk to this one. (To be continued!)
