Even Dean Laurent didn't know what was going on in Pamplo Schooltown, let alone the kids. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, instead of being angry at them for lying about condensing the Divine Yuan, the Duke told them that they could receive a monthly salary if they went to the school city.

For these children, this is much more practical than pursuing the unrealistic path of magicians.

Donner looked at their happy faces and knew he didn't have to do anything to mobilize.

After disbanding the children, Donner wrote a letter to William in Dean Laurent's office and gave it to Laurent, asking him to send the letter to the address of the former Pamplo School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as soon as possible.

Laurent respectfully took the letter in her arms, and repeatedly emphasized that she would deliver the children herself.

As Donner prepares to leave, Laurent takes the initiative to talk about the breakdown of the Bol River.

"Lord Duke...... From the perspective of me, this time things seem a little strange. ”

"Oh, tell me what you think. Donner was suddenly interested.

"Two years ago, it only took you and Count Borg half a month to quell the wrath of Silver Finch, and everyone in the empire was shocked. It's unreasonable that after just two years, someone would dare to play a ghost on your territory. Laurent shook her head slowly.

Donner noticed that two years later, the old man looked more slender, and although his hair was still snow-white, his face was obviously much more rosy.

"You mean, someone is behind them?" Donner's expression was calm. Actually, that's what he thinks about it too.

Laurent did not answer this question directly, but suddenly sighed: "My lord...... It's twilight in the Empire. ”

Donner frowned and looked at Laurent, although the other party's expression was respectful, he did not show the slightest panic, but continued: "Your Excellency...... If it weren't for you, the history of the Empire would have ended eight years ago...... Even now, it is only an empty shelf, and with the slightest external force, it will collapse with a bang. ”

"You mean, I'm supposed to knock it down?" Donner asked faintly.

In fact, he wasn't at all surprised that Laurent would think the same way. Laurent had shown this sentiment in front of him two years earlier, when Donner had taken advantage of his ambitions to keep him at the Santan Academy of Magic and Magic.

He just didn't expect Laurent to be so anxious.

"You are the right person to be. Laurent said bluntly: "My lord...... I can guarantee that every student who comes out of the Santan Academy of Magic will be your most loyal follower. ”

Donner is not averse to Laurent's ambitions, on the contrary, he needs such people around him.

While Donner had never had any interest in the crown on Auston's head, he also knew that his followers needed a clear goal to unite them.

But Donner's real goal is a secret, and the less people know about it, the better.

So, he had to set a false goal.

But even then, he had to figure out what Laurent's starting point was.

"Are you dissatisfied with Auston?" Donner noticed that Laurent had removed the word duke from the title, and the meaning was clear, so he did not use the word emperor to refer to Auston again. In contrast, his approach is more blatant.

"My lord, there is one thing I have not told you. Laurent rubbed her cheeks, looking tired, or depressed from the memories of the past, "My only grandson, Sam, died in the Great Patriotic War......"

"It's a sad thing...... Donner said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, you haven't heard of that name, have you?" Laurent looked up at Donner, her eyes burning.

Donner's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "He's from the Youth Reserve?"

Laurent laughed with satisfaction, laughing and crying, "Yes, he is from the Youth Reserve...... If it weren't for you, my lord, Sam wouldn't have been burdened with the shame of the rebels, but do you think there is any point in his death?"

"Makes sense to me......" Donner said.

"No," Laurent shook her head slowly, "this empire has long since rotted...... There is no point in prolonging its life. ”

At this point, Donner has already got the answer, Laurent may be because of his grandson's death is not worth it, or it may really be because of the decay of the empire, no matter what the reason, this can be passed in Donner.

He slowly stood up, his eyes staring straight at Laurent, and the spiritual power of the high-level mage exploded.

Laurent suddenly had a hallucination, as if standing in front of him was a god.

"Laurent, believe me, everything you do now will be valuable, and history will remember you as much as history will remember Sam......"

......

On the way to the upper reaches of the Boer River, we passed the first artificial aqueduct dug by Mr. Merkel in the province of Santanhang.

However, because of the decline in the volume of the Boer River, the aqueduct has long since dried up.

Donner rode slowly along the river when Lucia's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Why hasn't the empire built such an artificial river after all these years?" she seemed to say to herself.

"Shouldn't we ask you?" said Wesley, bluntly.

Donner turned his head and smiled, "It's no wonder Lucia. ”

Lucia smiled at him, but her expression didn't improve because of this comfort.

"I'm not comforting you, it's true," Donnell said, "and you can't do it without a strong centralization." The reason is very simple, the influence of artificial rivers is very large, and the territory of the nobles is limited, no one will be thankless to build any artificial rivers, and the project is very difficult, in case of messing up, there will be an accident. ”

"You're right, just like this time. Lucia nodded.

Wesley looked at Lucia and then at Donner, and the implication was: Hasn't Lucia seen that this time it's not that simple?

Donner shook his head at him slightly, motioning for him to stay still.

......

Two days later, in the province of Quentin, south of Santan, Donner's group of five stopped on the banks of the Boer River.

In fact, this place should no longer be called the Ball River, perhaps it is more appropriate to use Ball Lake and Ball Beach.

That's right, the nobles of Quentin Province have made a mess of this place, and the indiscriminate excavation has caused the river to divert and spread, leaving thousands of hectares of land in shambles, and a faintly visible, "suspiciously shaped" artificial river, which diverts most of the water of the Boer River to the west, and as expected, it should enter the Ava River, which is more than a hundred kilometers away.

"How could they be so stupid?" said Layla, looking at the flooded farmland, her face pained.

Una opened her mouth and didn't speak, her eyes drifting to Donner.

Lucia's face was heavy, and after a while, she finally spoke: "I should go back to Coennas." (To be continued.) )
