Chapter 63 Request for Assistance
After the baptism of countless two-dimensional, movie dramas, and entertainment lace news, basically a woman belongs to a green tea or is natural, Lin can judge seven or eight points at first glance.
And the woman in front of her, who seems to have been too serious all her life, happens to be one of the types that Lin doesn't want to provoke. Fortunately, the eldest princess Mira Salian came over today to be a mascot, and the real people are the two beside her.
The elder who had met many times now finally confessed his identity. He is the head of the Knights of the Kingdom Sword of the Kingdom of Frank, Mendelsohn. Because of his many dealings, he also understands the character of the tower master, which words are useful and which words are in vain, which makes him seem quite silent today, and most of the limelight has been stolen by another young man.
A nobleman of the royal family, the youngest son of Count Kohler, Maiel Kohler. Looking at his gushing appearance, Lin knew that the rumors that the upper nobles of the Lost World had to learn eloquence were indeed true. Almost from the beginning of the founding of the Frank Kingdom, the actions of successive heroes, to the previous king's governance advantages and disadvantages, for Lin to teach a vivid history lesson.
And the reason for the current situation, he only explained in one sentence, that is, the former king was mediocre.
Next is the excellent letter of the eldest princess of Dazanmila, which is rare in the sky and rare in the world. It was as if it was an unforgivable sin not to let her wear that crown.
Then he took out a map of the kingdom and analyzed the current situation with the momentum of the world. In the current chaotic situation, the nobles of the kingdom are roughly divided into four factions: the royal faction, the weakest side, but there are many small nobles.
The Neutral faction, unexpectedly, is represented by the Emperor Killer. It's some nobles who just want to defend their territory behind closed doors. The people of this faction are not twisted into a single group, but they simply put people who do not belong to other factions into this category.
The prime minister's faction, which was dominated by the prime minister of the former king, was originally a faction where most of the powerful figures in the royal court gathered. These people only want to maintain the unity of the kingdom in order to protect their own interests. It is rumored that the people of this faction intend to learn from the public discussion system of other races and transform them into republics.
But to be honest, not many people pay attention to them, and the gaffe of the former king is also angered by these people, so in terms of political prestige, this is the weakest group. But in terms of strength, they are not at the mercy of others.
The Marquis, or derogatorily called the Usurpators. As the name suggests, the one who wants to change the dynasty and put the crown on his head. This is the strongest group of people, but not yet a decisive difference in power.
This is the beginning of the chaos of the kingdom, the large and small nobles attacked and united with each other, and gradually formed a four-legged situation. As the excitement gradually cooled after the initial fire, and the hands of the surrounding kingdoms were also extended into the chaotic kingdom of Frank, the people of the four factions began to replace the war with negotiations, and had the idea of ending the chaos as soon as possible.
So now the rules of the game have become: win over the nobles, gather troops, and after comparing hard power, it will be easier to win over other nobles, and then gather more troops. Similar to the flow of explosive troops in real-time strategy games, whoever explodes more soldiers can make others surrender without drawing A against the other party.
"So, join Princess Mira now and help us rebuild this chaotic country, Lord Tripwood. Our army is still very weak, and as long as you support and join, it will surely be able to shock some unscrupulous people with the reputation of the Great Sage Tower. ”
Having said so much, drama meat is just about money and people. Lin said without hesitation: "I refuse." ”
"Very well, you refused...... Refused! "It seems like an unexpected turn, and the sudden rise in the tone of Maiel Kohler shows how surprised he was." How did you refuse! How can you refuse! ”
Lin Xin calmly explained, "If I were an ordinary magician, sworn allegiance, or employed by Her Royal Highness the Princess, then it would make sense to do those things. However, as the owner of the magic tower, he does not intervene in the affairs of the nobles, but it is a matter written in black and white in the covenant. I can't break the Convention. ”
"Say what! If you let the base of the Baath Army be established in your territory, it shows your attitude. Now you have to stay out of it, do you think it's possible? ”
"If the two things are interrelated, then I can only regret that I ask the members of the Renaissance Army to leave my territory."
"You!" "Master Kohler!" The chief knight, Mendelson, spoke up to stop the angry young nobleman who was on the verge of exploding, and said, "Young Master, according to the convention, it is true that Your Excellency Tripwood cannot get involved in our affairs. Please also refrain from it. ”
The Pact is a pact between the emissaries of the five empires of the Lost World and the Wizards' Guild. It is not very binding, and basically it is a treaty that does not exist if no one mentions it, and must abide by it if it is mentioned.
Of course, if someone violates the convention and someone else wants to get into trouble, they will do the same. To put it bluntly, it is an excuse for the elites, a fig leaf.
The so-called non-involvement in the affairs of the aristocracy included acts of war between states. In addition to dealing with the invasion of dark creatures, the extermination war, or the attack of abyssal species such as demons and demons, the Lord of the Magic Tower has the power to stay out of the war between the nobles.
Taking the Tower of the Great Sage as an example, if the magic tower near the territory of Viscount Lorenz is thrown under the command of its political enemies or hostile nobles with territorial disputes, relying on the location of the magic tower to make trouble for Viscount Lorenz all day long, it will not make the harassed nobles depressed to death. Hence the 'non-intervention' pact.
It's something that no one mentions and treats as if they don't know. But since the tower master in front of him has spoken, no matter how much he says after that, it will only be a waste of saliva, and it may even anger the tower master and lose the existing foundation. Mendelsohn apologized, and dragged the angry young man away.
Her Royal Highness the princess was silently accompanied. From beginning to end, except for introducing herself, she didn't say a word, just looked at the tower master calmly and without being rude. I don't see any emotion.
Looking at the people who left indifferently, Lin's figure gradually faded and disappeared.
Back at the assembly hall of the Ba'ath Army, some radical young people gathered to ask the idea of the tower of the Great Sage. Maiel Kohler was able to complain and slander with all his might, stirring up resentment. Even the slogan of storming the tower, seizing money, appeared.
The Tower of the Great Sage is very wealthy, and has actually been publicized in the forums for quite some time. After all, every time the Chamber of Commerce chariots and horses that send supplies are not necessarily the same people.
Inevitably, after these people returned, they bragged to their relatives and friends about how many boxes they saw, plus a large amount of supplies were sent into the tower. Then the matter was exposed on the forum, and the more rumors there were, the more bizarre it became, and in the end, the image of the Tower of the Great Sage as rich and invincible was deeply rooted, not to mention that the facts were not far off. As a result, the number of coveters increased, including the Renaissance Army living here.
The older generation feels inappropriate about the unbridled discussions of young people, but they can't say where the uneasiness lies in their hearts. Although the Great Sage's Tower has the deeds of slaughtering a village and destroying a team of Inspectors, in the eyes of most people, this is still an antique tower controlled by a rookie magician, and it will not be much stronger.
"Therefore, Your Highness Princess,—" said Maiel Kohler, in a puff to his allegiance, "and, with your permission, we will be able to take the Tower of the Great Sage in a single raid. ”
Although she is not dressed in fancy clothes, Mira Salian still has that stunning temperament. After the negotiation failed, she returned to the assembly hall and simply drank tea quietly and listened to the thoughts and discussions of the crowd. Asked by a group of excited young people with sparkling eyes, she just said lightly, "I don't agree with your request." ”
"Why, Your Highness Princess? Our spies have been in the tower several times before, and they have a complete grasp of the layout and layout inside, and there will never be any accidents. The tower had enough money for us to assemble a large army. This will also be more secure for your coronation. ”
"The tower master took me and my original followers before, without any restrictions, and let us develop. I will not forget this kindness. will not attack him again because of financial problems. In short, the matter was decided. Anyone who makes the most of an attack on the Tower of Magic, I will declare that they are not my supporters, and I will indeed banish them from my side. ”
Seeing that the princess was decisive, Mendelsohn then said: "Gentlemen, since this is the princess's will, it is natural that our followers should respect and obey it. That's all for now, we still need to discuss who to send to convince the other noble lords. ”
The most sophisticated subordinates, while defining things, also divert everyone's attention to another important matter. Mira Sully let out a long sigh of relief, she had just had unspoken words.
I had felt that a very powerful dark creature had entered the tower before, and that strength was strong enough to kill the current revival army several times without injury. But with such a powerful dark creature, most of the aura disappeared in an instant. She had guessed whether the dark creatures had reached an intention to cooperate with the tower master and lurked, or had died in the magic tower again......
Today, when she entered the Tower of the Great Sage and negotiated with the tower master, Mira Salian did not feel the slightest hint of darkness. This meant that the magic tower was clever enough to hide the aura of dark creatures that lurked; Or really kill those dark creatures.
Either way, she didn't want to attack the tower and make enemies of the tower's master.
