The principle of the dragon summoning magic array is to cross the spatial limit and send out some kind of signal to attract the dragon clan, and these five frost dragons accepted the call from afar and came across half a continent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The attack of the dragon clan was not accidental, but man-made.

The circle is hidden in the palace, and it is only revealed after the palace is destroyed, which means that the person who set up the circle has a high status.

This discovery shocks Angela and Serra, and there must be a conspiracy behind Gaudis' dragon plague.

A rich haze enveloped the hearts of the two.

"Who could have done it!!!!" said Serra, frowning.

Although Ivo didn't care about Gaudis's power struggle, he smelled something unusual, pulled the two of them towards the city gate and walked towards the ice, and said: "Say while walking, I'm not familiar with Gaudis, you tell me your opinion, I, as an outsider, may be able to find something." ”

The two looked entangled and seemed to not know where to start.

Ivo said slowly: "The conspiracy is based on interests, first of all, think about it, who is likely to benefit from the attack of the dragon clan on Gaudis?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, Ivo held up two fingers and sorted out the clues for them: "The most likely beneficiaries are dissidents and traitors. ”

Sera shook her head categorically, "Impossible, our children of ice and snow have no quarrel with the world, there are no other forces near Gaudis, there has been no war for many years, this is the destination of every snow elf, maybe there are snow elves who are unwilling to stay in Gaudis, but there will never be traitors! We do not force the unity of faith, most of the snow elves believe in the gods of the north, and a small number believe in the elven gods, and there is no reason for disinterested believers to do so." ”

Ivo's mind turned slightly, "Then calling the dragon clan to attack is for personal gain, since the magic circle appears in the palace, the upper echelons of the kingdom are more suspicious." ”

"The three most powerful people in Gaudis are my father, Marshal Ice Star, and Kevin University, and the other two are candidates for kingship. ”

Ivo keenly grasped a noun, "candidate for king?"

Talking about the politics of Gaudis, Princess Angela talked eloquently, "Gaudis's political structure is not a blood family system, but an election is held every ten years, this year is the election year, the Council of Elders selects three candidates for the king, and finally the public vote and the Council of Elders vote to decide the king's candidate, if the previous king wins, he can succeed him, the current king, Marshal Ice Star, and Kevin Grand Sage are among the candidates." ”

Democratic elections?!

Ivo looked confused, did you get the wrong script, aren't we in medieval style?!

Different races, different kingdoms, and different political structures are different, and culture and ideas affect the system.

"The king is in charge of the administration, the marshal is in charge of the military, and the sage is universally educated, and if the latter two become kings, the original official positions will be replaced by others. ”

"What is a sage?"

"A well-known scholar who has studied all kinds of knowledge, is very erudite, has world-famous books, and his ideas have influenced generations of snow elves......"

It sounds a lot like everyone in the Spring and Autumn Period, those who wrote books, established schools, and spread ideas.

In fact, Ivo always felt that those saints were very lucky, the surnames were very good, you look at Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, it sounds very good, Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu sound like a family, of course, the worst is the surname Luan and the surname Jin......

Off topic, let's get down to business.

Ivo suddenly said, "Then there are two possibilities now, first, the election year is the source of the conflict, and the king, Marshal Ice Star, and Kevin University are all suspects......"

These words directly stabbed the hornet's nest, and Angela pinched the soft flesh of Ivo's waist fiercely, "It's impossible for my father to do such a thing!"

"It hurts, it hurts!" Ivo took a breath of cold air, slapped Angela's hand away, and said helplessly: "When there is a lack of clues, you have to make bold guesses, and finally carefully verify." ”

Seeing that Angela puffed out his mouth and stopped making a fuss, he continued: "If it is the king, after expelling the dragon clan, his support rate will definitely rise; if it is Marshal Ice Star, it is the army that expels the dragon clan, and he can also gain prestige as a commander; as for the great sage of Kevin, he can't see his interests for the time being, but as a bachelor, he is most likely to arrange a magic array, maybe he may join forces with some people." ”

Angela shook her head, "Scholar Kevin died on the first day of the dragon attack. ”

Ivo's heart moved, and he had a new guess, and his mouth continued to recount the reasoning: "The second possibility is that the enemy is someone with ulterior motives, deliberately taking the opportunity of the election year to carry out a conspiracy to mislead us into speculating about the three candidates, and the real mastermind can continue to hide in the shadows......" When he said this, he thought of the war brokers of the Dark Eyes, but in the end he denied it, because as a bishop, it is impossible for him not to know any clues.

Sera glared at Ivo coldly, she was a soldier, Marshal Ice Star had a very high prestige, and she was the idol of all soldiers, if it weren't for Ivo saving her, she would have turned her face now, and said coldly: "No matter what your guess is, Marshal Ice Star can't be the conspirator in your mouth, he is deeply loved by all soldiers and is the best commander!"

"Wait......" Ivo said suddenly, "You said that the snow elves love peace and have not fought for many years, so where does the prestige of Marshal Ice Star come from?"

Sera was stunned: "There are many fierce beasts in the Gaudis Mountains, often attacking the city, Marshal Ice Star led the army to clear out the threatening attacking beasts and defend the city, for decades, he is an excellent commander, he treats his subordinates very kindly, and all the soldiers love him." ”

After a pause, Serra added a clue: "However, as the number of beasts of prey decreased, the call for disarmament grew stronger day by day, and after discussions between the Council of Elders and the King, twenty percent of the army was finally cut. ”

Ivo's eyes lit up and he grasped the key: "Marshal Ice Star is the leader of the army, in the face of the attack of the Dragon Clan, the army should be the first to react and resist, but after the attack of the Dragon Clan, the army seems to be doing nothing, under the leadership of an excellent commander like Marshal Ice Star, this situation should not occur, and Scholar Kevin died, the king was seriously injured and fell into a coma, but Marshal Ice Star, as a soldier, was unharmed, and the three king candidates were killed, injured and safe, this is too suspicious!"

"If I'm not mistaken...... Ivo touched his chin and muttered, "The initiator of the dragon attack may be Marshal Ice Star!"

Sera's face changed drastically, and she shook her head again and again: "It can't be what you think!"

"Disarmament represents a decrease in the marshal's right to speak, whether he runs for the king or not, it is very detrimental to Bingxing, which should be the original motive. ”

"At this moment when the king is unconscious, the army expels the frost dragon, and the ice star as the commander will greatly increase his merits, increase his support rate, and can awaken the people's attention to the army by solving the crisis, and take advantage of the situation to ask the army to increase its strength and increase its right to speak.

Serra's face turned pale and she muttered, "Impossible......"

Iwam paused, and changed his words: "But this is just speculation, and the facts have yet to be verified." ”

Sera nodded heavily, silent, not knowing if she had listened.

What the truth is, Ivo doesn't care, no matter what problems Gaudis has inside, it has nothing to do with him as a foreigner, he just wants to complete his hiring task, and he doesn't want to care about other things, if there is no benefit.

All the way to the city gate, the so-called city gate is the mouth of the cave in the belly of the mountain, artificially excavated, very tall, more than 20 meters high, there are a large number of reliefs on the wall, the style is magnificent.

A large block of solid ice blocked the entrance to the cave, ten meters thick, and a vague shadow could be seen through the ice.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the distance behind him, the mountain wall collapsed, and the five-headed dragon flew out, rolling up a cloud of dust, and the large frost dragon regained its huge size.

Ivo's face tightened, and his hands lit up a frosty flame and pressed it against the ice.

The ice is indestructible with dragon magic attached to it, but Demacia's demonic power can weaken the effect of dragon magic.

The Frost Flame burned brightly, the ice gradually melted into a passage, and the Frost Dragon sensed that the magic had been cracked, and roared angrily, and the smallest Frost Dragon flapped its wings and was the first to chase after it.

Angela and Sera looked shocked, Ivo had easily broken through the ice that the entire Gaudis were unable to handle, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

"How did you do that?" asked Angela, unable to resist her curiosity.

Ivo glanced at her, "Don't ask, little kid. ”

Just as Ivo melted the ice, the Snow Elf soldiers and all the mercenaries gathered outside the entrance to the cave.

Today is the day of the counteroffensive.

The "Tomahawk-type" mechanical siege vehicle is one meter away from the ice, and there is a simple operating mechanism behind the mechanical siege vehicle, and the four snow elves work together to control it.

Metal pipes spew steam, gears spin wildly, and the central pointed conical bumper slowly retracts, accumulating a terrifying elastic force.

At the rear of the army, the queen stood on a high platform, and her solemn voice reached the ears of every snow elf under the amplification spell.

"Every valiant Snow Elf warrior, your family, friends, and lovers are watching you from behind with a heart of expectation. Today, the clan needs your strength to drive out the invading dragons and regain their common homeland!

Thousands of snow elf soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "Fight to the death, don't retreat!"

The heroic Marshal Ice Star stood at the front of the army, his eyes flickering, as if he was preoccupied.
