Although Farney misestimated Link's strength and the development of the situation, he would not be naïve enough to think that a powerless viscount could do anything. She had already arranged for the assassins hiding in Volan City to join forces with the envoys to kill the Viscount and give the last direct line of the so-called Doyle family that came out of nowhere.

It was estimated that Franny would get rid of Newman and blame Orlando, and Link explained Jafar in advance that he would protect the viscount.

Due to the limitation of distance, it is impossible for the communication stone to directly contact the new capital at the western end of the big 6, and it must change hands three times on the way before the first-hand news can be transmitted back. When Frannie learns that the Children of Nature are leading a group of druids to the White City of Wolan, Link has reached a second alliance with Malik, and things are taking a more and more uncontrollable direction.

When Link found Jafar, Commander Hansen brought him a messenger from Vaorlet—five days earlier, the man who claimed to be Count Senior's squire insisted on seeing the Children of Nature, and since Link had not been able to be contacted, the Elven King had arranged for him to wait for news in Voran.

After settling the envoys, Hansen found himself before he could send someone to inform Link.

"Cervis looking for me?" Link looked up and down, this servant was a little familiar, and he had indeed seen it in the City Lord's Mansion in Vaolet.

"Yes, my lord, the Count has asked me to make a trip to bring this to you. The servant held an envelope with the seal of Servis in both hands. When torn open, there was only one teleportation stone inside.

After launching. From there came an excited and apprehensive voice, indeed Servis's.

"Your Excellency, I have finally contacted you. ”

"What's the matter?" Link wondered, it stands to reason that he had already made arrangements before leaving, so why did the suspicious and sick earl ask him for help again?

"The dwarves are gone!"

Link's gaze swept over Hansen. He knew how to read words and colors, and immediately retreated.

"What's going on?"

Servis informed that a month ago, the undead suddenly retreated to the north, and the dwarves of Vaolet wanted to take the opportunity to repair the lost territory and take back the occupied city of Sander, and the expansion plan that had just been launched was forced to stop, even if Servis had enough labor on hand and lacked dwarves with construction experts, the construction progress was immediately slowed down. Servis was more worried. If the dwarves never return, won't the alliance be nullified? Servis approached Link in the hope that he would support himself as a child of nature.

This is certainly impossible, violating the precepts laid down by the pillars.

Having scrapped the alliance he had forged, Link would not let the plan fail, and he reassured Servis that the dwarves' departure was only temporary, and the covenant had not expired. It doesn't matter what tricks the undead are playing. If you want to attack Befast and Kronberg, which are the forward positions, cutting off the underground passage of material supply is the fastest and most effective way. The dwarves of Xander could not fight the undead alone, they had already tried the consequences of non-alignment.

"After all, it's the family business left by the ancestors, and it makes sense that the dwarves want to recover it, if you still want reliable allies, don't do anything stupid, and when they have enough trouble, you'll go back. Link warns Servis that the icing on the cake is better than charcoal in the snow. Now you must calm down, and do not listen to the slander of others, if you take back the temporary dwelling of the dwarves. or take the initiative to renounce the agreement, not only will he have another bad relationship with the dwarf, but he will not be able to spare him.

Eventually, Link returned the interrogation stone to the servants, saying that he had been staying in Wallan City for the rest of the day, and that the city would ask the garrison commander about his whereabouts if he had anything to do. He didn't want to carry a locatable magic prop with him, even if he already claimed to be in White City. Nor can anyone capture his accurate information.

It was already lunch time, and he couldn't wait for Doyle and Kyryll, so Link had to let Hansen take him to solve lunch.

The hill on which Voran City is located is one of the few places outside of Eagle Peak that contains a large amount of Adamantine gold, which was hollowed out by the dwarves long before humans settled. At first, it was just some passing merchants, then wanderers, and then more and more people moved here to live, and then the dwarves had already dug the caves into mountain towns.

On the surface, the hill on which Wolan sits and the nearby hills are covered in lush vegetation, but in fact the interior of the mountain has been hollowed out, leaving only a thin layer of topsoil, and it took hundreds of years to complete this magnificent mountain town.

Link didn't have any special requirements for his own residence, as long as he had a roof and a bed, and as for Kyryl and the group of falcons, he could let them make do on the rooftop of the mountain. Anyway, it is also a future nature temple, and judging by Kyryl's anxiousness, I am afraid that after obtaining Orlando's consent, she will start building it immediately.

Considering that there are still some detailed rules to be formulated, Link wants to deal with the 'Hall of Mirrors' prompted by Malik here before setting off for Nanyanzhou, anyway, the flow of life has been restored, so there is no need to be in such a hurry as before.

As soon as you enter the interior of the mountain, the light immediately dims, as dark as night. Like other cities, most of Volan was lit by traditional candles, and only the nobility could use expensive magic hedrons as a source of light.

"I just want to fill my stomach, why did you take me to the aristocratic district?" The light around him changed from a heat source to a cold light, and even if he didn't know the way, Link knew that the place he was going to must be the district where the nobles lived.

"Lunch has been prepared, and the Elven King and Duke will dine with you in the banquet hall. The person behind him had a special status, and Hansen, who was the commander, had to lead the way himself and lead the VIP to the private mansion of the Doyle family.

Not long after this separation, Orlando knew my temperament, but he did not prevent the Elven King from having such a formal banquet...... Link analyzed that they should have received the news that Frankie had restarted the 'Hall of Mirrors', so they specially asked me to go over and discuss countermeasures.

[Doyle, how are you talking with the Grand Priest?]

[Alysina and I are already in the banquet hall.] 】

After a long conversation with Alisina, Doyle untied the knot completely. After the toss of lifting the seal and Link's admonition. She no longer feels sorry for herself, and she has the mentality that the whole world owes her.

The banquet hall was almost the size of half a football field, with vaults and columns, and Link recognized this familiar style at a glance, the council chamber of Longyan Fort. Except for the difference in the decoration of the details, the whole is completely carved out of a mold.

Seeing Link looking around from side to side, his eyes fixed on the banquet hall, Orlando quipped, "Does it sound familiar?"

"The designer here can't be Dante, right?"

Orlando gave a thumbs up, "One guess and you'll get it." ”

It's really him...... Thinking of the hot-tempered old dwarf, Link's eyes showed nostalgia.

【Do you know Master Dante?】Ever since the convenience of the current consciousness conversation, Doyle has not bothered to speak.

[Hmm.] It's kind of old knowledge. 】

[It is rumored that he died early in the fall of Longyan Fort, but he did not expect that he would come back after the Battle of Grantham and replace Alex, who died in battle, as commander. This...... It can't have anything to do with you, right?] Link is not much older than Link, and even if Doyle has the heart to treat Link as a father, she can't shout honorifics. The tone of her peers not only made her comfortable, but also made it easier to get closer.

[Yes, I persuaded him to go out of the mountain. Gonzalez was still young. can't control the scene, and must rely on the only remaining veteran in Longyan Fort. Link takes a seat. The commander did not leave, but sat in the seat opposite.

To the left of the narrow wooden table were filled with priests, Link, Arisina, and Doyle. On the right are Orlando, Elven King, and Hansen.

Seeing Kelly, Link couldn't help but ask where she had gone?

"Mistress Kyryl has taken the druids to recruit believers. Orlando smiled as he shoved a large plate of freshly served staples in front of Link.

The heavily juiced goat meat exudes an enticing aroma, spices are not a precious ingredient that ordinary people can enjoy in this era, and Finn's point was obtained by looting the unfortunate shipwrecked merchant traveler.

Link was also not polite, and forked a full fork with a delicate silver fork, and the goat meat did not smell bad. Tender and refreshing, it was the best meal Link had since he arrived in Edgar.

Although there is no rule that the Dawn Sect does not eat meat, believers have always had a light diet, and the high priest has placed fish and fresh fruits in front of him, which are rare in the mountains and forests, and Doyle has the same configuration.

Not wanting to disturb the appetite of others, seeing that everyone had eaten almost, Link took the initiative to mention the information he had obtained from Malik.

"I heard that Frannie of the new capital has gathered a group of nobles to activate the Hall of Mirrors. ”

Orlando took a sip from his glass. I almost choked: "Ahem...... You're so well informed. ”

Link lowered his fork and crossed his hands over his chest, deliberately highlighting the ring on his right hand. As early as when he appeared, the eyes of the Elven King and the High Priest had been fixed on the emblem representing Malik's allies.

The first to be reluctant is Alicina, as a follower of Dawn of Order, she must ask Link why he made an alliance with the evil gods?

"To each his own. Link's answer was succinct and clear, but unacceptable to the High Priest. Due to the limitations of her duties, even if it is a comrade-in-arms who has fought side by side, she will fight with them without hesitation.

Link snorted, deliberately showing off that the ring was not to fall out with the Dawn Sect, "If the High Priest is pursuing it for the sake of the faction, Malik has already switched from chaos to neutral camp. ”

Orlando's knife almost cut into his hand, and he knew that Link didn't like to joke, let alone talk nonsense about such things.

The Elven King was obviously much calmer than his nephew, and looked away from the ring on Link's hand.

Alysina frowned and silently prophesied.

The feedback from Dawn was exactly as Link had said, that Malik had just switched sides at noon.

There was no reason for her to object, but Alysina was still full of doubts.

After the faith was restored, the gods should have been busy getting rid of Link, so why did Malik choose to ally with him instead of him?

Link, who was off topic, had no choice but to say that the news of the 'Hall of Mirrors' came from Malik.

"What is the Hall of Mirrors?" Knowing that Link was curious about this, Doyle asked him on his behalf.

"It's the last work before Bray became a god.,It's a bit like a combination of audio-visual and magic tents.,You can gather people scattered all over the Big 6 in a special space with only projections.,You can see each other.,You can talk.。 Magic cannot trace the source, and a strong person who can use the law of cause and effect. I also disdain to kill people in the mirror hall. It was the Elven King who gave the explanation, "Only those who have the key are allowed to enter." I happen to be one of them. "His qualifications were obtained during the Northern Campaign, where humans, dwarves, the League of Nature, and even orcs have emissaries.

"I was called by the pillar. There has been no news for a month, and Frankie probably wants to take this opportunity to accuse Orlando of not being qualified to succeed him. "Frankie's thoughts, Link can more or less guess.

The Elven King nodded, he thought the same.

"Today's royal family no longer has the ability to divide the princes, what's the point of her doing this?"

"You can let the different princes and nobles occupy it first, and then take it back when you have the chance. Orlando said with a ruffian look on his face, and being born again could not change his frivolous personality.

The High Priest nodded in agreement. "Yes, the rule of the Hall of Mirrors is that the minority obeys the majority, as long as there is more than two-thirds of the consent, it is considered a guò. ”

It turned out that she had such an idea, uniting the vast majority of nobles, grabbing the title fief first, and then discussing the issue of ownership. Scold...... The beauty of thinking.

"Does each race count one vote? or by territory?" said Frannie. Obviously, there is confidence in victory. Link doesn't think it's going to be the former.

"According to the territory, the Hall of Mirrors can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. At its peak, it did have a few hundred people attending. Alysina wasn't qualified to attend when she was younger, but she had more or less heard about the multi-species conference from her predecessors.

Sure enough, according to the territory, if I am still in the consciousness space of the pillar now, the probability of her plan succeeding is very high......

"The so-called key is ......"

Link looked at the Elven King, and Iliclat shook his head.

"Due to the law of cause and effect, we are not allowed to say who or how to obtain the key. You're left to figure it out for yourself. ”

Cut~ I used my divine knowledge to see the process of making Bray, and I didn't believe that I couldn't get the key.

"Even if you can get in, how are you going to convince the great nobles? Orlando didn't have any attachment to the lordship, and he really didn't want the people of Cronberg to have another wine bag that would only have fun. Since he is the last direct member of the Doyle family. It is time to take responsibility.

"What's the panic? Tell me the voting rules of the meeting in detail. ”

Everyone looked at the Elven King, the only one present who had ever attended the meeting.

"Attendance is also based on territory, and you and Mistress Kyryll can only go to one. "This is what the Elf King is most worried about, counting the dwarves and wood elves, there are only two votes, in the case that the Pillar of Fire may send orcs to participate, the Pillar of Earth has fallen into a state of madness and closure, and the Pillar of Water has no place to guard, the only remaining pillar of wind can only send one messenger to participate. Link went, and Kyryll's vote was scrapped.

"Whoever says I'm going to go on behalf of the Pillar of the Wind, let Jafar represent the Pillar of the Earth, and I go on behalf of the Pillar of Water, there will be six votes. There are not many people on our side, and there won't be many places for the big nobles, so on the Hohenheim side, I'll try my best to fight for it. ”

The Elven King still shook his head, "Druids can't represent pillars, just like ordinary nobles can't represent princes. ”

What a hassle...... Anyway, let's get the key to enter the Hall of Mirrors first.

In front of everyone, Link activates Divine Perception and spies on the scene of the Thunder Mirror Hall before the gods are canonized.

In order to find a child of nature who can stand the test, Bray has been on the ladder for thousands of years, and when he has nothing to do, he will always make some strange magic items. The Hall of Mirrors was his last Ming, born during the turbulent Northern Campaign, when because of the rebellion of the princes, there was no unified opinion within the human race, some of the main station, some of the main peace, and some simply did not stand on either side. In order to have a unified opinion, Bray accepted the commission of the Duke of Colk in the north at the time, and at first he just wanted to make a prop that was faster and more effective than the communication stone and could support multiple people to talk at the same time, but after continuous improvement, it was finally turned into a device that could bring hundreds of people together at the same time.

The principle is very simple, first make a special space similar to a magic tent, and use the 'key' as a prop to open the image into this real space. The so-called 'key' is the identity of the person who wants to enter, such as position, territory, etc., and only the real identity recorded by time is allowed to enter.

Just recite the Hall of Mirrors three times, and when the projection circle appears, say your identity and name, and the law of cause and effect will determine your qualifications. The space where the Hall of Mirrors is located is located on the ladder, which cannot be forcibly entered by ordinary people, and due to the restriction of the law of cause and effect, the undead cannot enter this space either.

Seeing Link open his eyes, Doyle hurriedly asked if he had found a way to get the key?

She couldn't get a glimpse of what she knew in the same way she could spy on consciousness.

"Found it. Link informed Jafar, who was following Kyryll, that there was something important to discuss, and asked Kelil to come over quickly.

Kelly, who was in a hurry, was also very worried when she heard that the human was going to activate the Hall of Mirrors. She wasn't worried about the number of votes, she thought that since humans dared to choose this method, they would have a killer plan to win.

"What's the killer feature...... I have that too. "If necessary, Link is ready to tell Claudia about it, no matter how much the nobles are at odds with each other, they won't want to put such a hidden danger around. Presumably, the princes must also be willing to fight back against the ambitious Princess Frannie.

Everyone present expressed strong interest in Link's so-called 'killer feature', but Link didn't say anything.

"Well, I'll leave it until the Hall of Mirrors meeting, because if you say it in advance, it will leak out, so that the opponent can be prepared. ”

Upon learning of Link's presence in Voran, Frannie convened a meeting in the Hall of Mirrors three days earlier that afternoon, but even so, she was unable to stop Link from entering. When Link's figure appeared in the room made of countless pieces of glass, people who knew him or not invariably focused their eyes on Link.
