The ceremonial hall of the palace was brightly lit all night, and several ministers who had been summoned to the dormitory by the cardinal that day were now rushing to the dormitory, but His Majesty the Emperor was not included, although the person who received Ou Fu was very important, but it seemed more appropriate to stay in the harem to accompany the queen. It is enough to have these old ministers here, and it is enough to have the head of Roland and the prime minister.

The people who came were Cedros, the lord of Ofu City, and his deputy, Lord Porugan. The clothes of the two people who came in a hurry did not have the slightest taste of going to a country to negotiate, and they were almost ragged. But no one had the slightest disdain for them, and Oufu even came here in person during such an extraordinary period, which shows how much attention he attaches to it. And at this time, Einface also needs Oufu, and even the most sophisticated old minister no longer has the slightest energy to care about these little things.

The meeting lasted almost until dawn, and when the ministers came out of the main hall, they all had a strange look on their faces, as if they were relieved, but there was not the slightest sense of joy, as if there was another layer of greater shadow hanging over their hearts.

Cedros only took a small rest in the arranged hotel, and a carriage secretly took them to the Prime Minister's Palace. There's another meeting waiting for him here.

In the prime minister's study, Xiao Yi, Head Roland, and Asa were already waiting here. Everyone but Asa stayed up all night, and the discussion within the palace about the relationship between Orf and Einfast was intense and prolonged. What is discussed here is a deeper, more subtle and more essential issue than in the palace.

"Won't Mr. Sandru agree with me?" asked Xiao Yi first. In fact, it was her suggestion to ask Sandru to be the court magician.

"It seems impossible to agree. Asa shook his head with a wry smile.

Even for those who know that Bishop Javi is a necromancer, there are still many things that they don't know. For example, the true identity of Bishop Javi, his relationship with the Marquis of Inham, etc., which involves the Valle de Deya, everything is obscured with very vague excuses. Sandru's identity was also kept secret, and he told the other ministers that he was a magician who had retired from the Vale de Deya, a friend of Bishop Ronalis, who had come to save the crisis at the invitation of Chief Roland. And Xiaoyi wants to take the opportunity to get Sandru in front of the curtain again.

Cedros smiled and shook his head: "The most fundamental rule of the necromancers of the Valley of Desya for hundreds of years is actually not to interfere in this mortal world. Although after hundreds of years, especially in the last twenty or thirty years, there are people who are interested in fame, fortune and power, but people like Sandru will never wade into this troubled water of power struggle. ”

Despite a long flight followed by an all-night meeting, Cedros looked so energetic. A pair of eyes radiated a look that was no worse than that of a young man. Although the two discolored bags under his eyes indicate that he hasn't rested in a while, he is still radiant. Because the result of the hard talk last night was that Oufu and the Esphas Empire immediately formed an alliance. This is certainly a good thing for him to cheer up.

The cardinal sent by His Majesty the Pope is a necromancer who is trying to usurp the throne. Although this kind of thing cannot be made public, the facts are already there, and the relationship between the empire and the church is finally completely broken.

In fact, since Bishop Ronis, the relationship between the Academy of Magic and the Church has always been inseparable. Bishop Ronis has always wanted to downplay this relationship, consciously or unconsciously, as exemplified by his own almost never return to the Celeste court to see the Pope. After the past twenty years, although they also believe in the same God and the same doctrine, the ordinary people of the empire have no status in the eyes of the Celeste, the fundamental place of the church, and the holy place in their eyes is actually the magic academy in the royal capital. This is also an important premise for breaking with Celeste this time.

Twenty years of foreshadowing finally came to a complete halt at this time, but unfortunately Bishop Ronice could not see all this. But from the general trend. It is only after his death that Celeste's relationship with the Academy of Magic will be revealed, and there will be such an opportunity to completely break off.

Bishop Javi is now half-dead in prison, and all martial arts and magic have been abolished by Roland and Sandru. And now it is temporarily announced that the cardinal suddenly fell seriously ill and died.

It's not that I don't want to find a more suitable reason, but I really can't think of any reason to explain a cardinal who was alive and well, and who had just been in the royal capital, took the initiative to summon the ministers into the palace to discuss matters a moment ago. As a result, soon after, there was no news of the main news, and no one else kept silent.

And this obvious lie is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to His Majesty the Pope, who understands that he wants to take back the Academy of Magic. Regardless of whether His Majesty the Pope has the energy now, and whether he will care about this matter in the future. Everyone knows that it is necessary to prevent it from happening. In this case, it is absolutely necessary to seek an ally.

In fact, Oufu has long been a buffer zone between the Eastern and Western Continents, and the previous battles against the Cultist Alliance have also shown incredible combat effectiveness. In either case, it seems that the Empire and Oufu should elevate the former non-aggression pact into a strategic alliance.

In yesterday's meeting, the Lord of Cedelos took the initiative to ask for an alliance, and the conditions given were also very satisfactory to all the ministers, and after such an incident, His Majesty the Emperor and all the ministers had an impression of the Pope and Celeste to the point where it was impossible to trust him anymore. So under the leadership of Captain Roland, everyone also participated in the discussion of the alliance incident.

Of course, the alliance was by no means an easy thing to do, and this alliance raised the relationship between the empire and the church from a rupture and stalemate to a hostile level, and the details of the alliance needed to be coordinated and discussed with each other. All of this is the trend of the times. Nor would the ministers be eager to agree to the demands of the Covenant, and they would have to judge whether the strength and potential of the ally was worth severing the ties with the cultists.

All night last night, Lord Porugan was left alone with the task of discussing the details with all the important ministers of the Empire. Almost all the ministers were impressed by the mind and ability of this unremarkable dwarf, whether it was any problem in the military, internal affairs, economy, or agriculture of the empire, this dwarf seemed to be very clear and very proficient, and not only discussed the details of mutual cooperation after the alliance between the empire and Oufu, but also pointed out many problems in the empire itself, how to improve it, how to slowly correct it during the run-in period, and his clarity of thinking, unique insights, and good eloquence surprised everyone. Even the prime minister, who has always been shrewd and capable, seems to be much inferior to this dwarf.

After a night of negotiations, all the ministers had completely eliminated the last trace of contempt for Oufu. No matter how strong the orc's combat power is, it is only a momentary bravery, and no matter how good the leader's ability is and how unique his vision is, it is impossible to be all-encompassing everywhere. And if we can grasp the details of the development of the whole country, this kind of political and economic talent, and the combination of the two, then the potential for development is immeasurable.

Choosing allies among nations is like a wise man choosing a husband and a wife. Although it is indeed a very close relationship, everyone will also look at each other's chips clearly in advance and weigh them carefully to see if it is suitable to choose this bird of the same forest. Through a night of negotiations, they saw the potential of Oufu and naturally measured the value of their choice.

An exhausted Porugan-sama is now resting in the hotel. The whole night of debating had already stretched his head to the limit, and there was no point in him participating in the original discussion at this time. Although the discussion here is a conspiracy, it has nothing to do with politics and economy.

"If Mr. Sandru can really stand on our side openly, it will be an incomparable intimidating force for the Valley of Diya and for the Church...... We can all make up the truth about his identity and origin......" Xiao Yi frowned in thought, and looked up at Asa with a cryptic expression. "Is there really no way to ......do it? What does Mr. Sandru need...... He can't let go of anything ......"

"I warn you not to play with him. Asa frowned and shook his head, glancing at Xiao Yi with a little annoyance.

Xiao Yi seemed a little surprised by Asa's expression, she was stunned and didn't speak again.

Asa was also a little surprised, he was surprised that Xiao Yi would show such an attitude, which was clearly a metaphor for the meaning of 'unscrupulous'. Second, I was surprised that I would subconsciously be a little angry with her, although this anger was a little worried, but after all, I was angry.

At this time, Captain Roland also nodded and said: "This kind of thing is indeed better not to be difficult, otherwise Mr. Sandru's temper is likely to backfire." It was already a great help for him to be on our side, and although we deliberately concealed it this time, the Church and Deya Valley would know Mr. Sandru's attitude as soon as possible, and we could have achieved this purpose with the help of his shocking power. ”

"Now the other ministers believe that the Pope has made a deal with Javi, the necromancer, to find a way to take back control of the Academy of Magic. And that's enough for them to know...... But we all know that what is behind the scenes is probably not so simple. Cedros sighed and continued. There's no way Magnus can't fail to see who Jarvey is. Even if he didn't know that he had been an assistant to Duke Mrak, who had had such an experience here, and a disciple of the head of the Roland clan, he could at least see that he was from the Valley of Diya. All of them couldn't have come here just to take back the Academy of Magic. ”
