Chapter 390: Passive
Xia Duo turned his gaze to Alberke, this strange situation, he had never heard of, and was ready to listen to the elder's opinion first.
However, what he didn't expect was that Alberke frowned at the moment, as if he had encountered something difficult, and Xia Duo couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with this Cole? ”
"No, this Cole is only temporarily suppressing himself in the process of self-redemption, similar to the effect of a psychic spell called [Mechanical Mind]. But—"
Alberke's voice changed and he expressed his concern, "Lord Rodney's coveting of the Green Bead Forest is the biggest mistake. ”
"What's wrong?" Xia Duo hurriedly asked.
"The Rodney Territory is located in the southernmost part of the core area of the Nedser Territory, and the territory straddles both sides of the Nessariel River, and cargo ships going to and from the Saville Territory must pass through the Rodney Territory!"
Xia Duo roughly made up a map in his head, from the core of the color resistance is Severton, which is also the northernmost one, with the Rodney Territory in the middle, the Saville Territory below, and the border trade city Connefila with the Elves to the east.
The elves import metal ores and rough jewelry from Nesserel, and export paintings, statues, jewelry and other works of art, as well as practical items such as wine, spices, and magical items.
This is the part of Connefila City and the Elves.
There is also trade between the city of Connefila and the Savile Territory, as well as the interior of the Resistant Color.
This part is mainly necessities such as daily necessities and food, and the elves forbid humans to destroy the forest, in fact, the city of Connefila has not been able to be self-sufficient so far, and it is completely dependent on the rear for supplies.
In such a large-scale trade, only a very small number of items of astonishing value will be teleported by magic, and the rest will be transported by water, land, and manually.
The water route is from Severton to Savile, and the land route is from Savile to the east.
It can be said that the Savile Territory and the Rodney Territory are important nodes on this trade route, and in terms of importance, the Savile Territory is even more important than the Rodney Territory.
Because, the food of Connefila City is mainly provided by the Saville Territory.
But just as the Savile Territory did not dare to make trouble with food, the Rodney Territory could not use its geographical advantages to make trouble, after all, although the border trade city was dominated by a Grand Arcanist, the interests were not his family's.
The interests of all people are the overall situation, and who dares to work against the overall situation.
Therefore, Xia Duo wondered if it was a chain reaction caused by the Saville Lord's leaning towards the princess, or if the Tower of Time had left the Saville Lord, which made people want to move.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly asked, "Which Grand Arcanist is behind the Rodney Collar?" ”
"Probably not, the original lord of the Rodney Territory came from the Kieran Tower, but he went out independently to open up the Rodney Territory a long time ago, and the Rodney Territory at that time was also like the Saville Territory, far away from the core area of the Color-resistant Territory, but it was only later that someone continued to open up and connect the Rodney Territory and the Color-resistant core area."
As he spoke, Abbeck also hesitated a little, such as how much the Saville leader shouted about independence at the beginning, but there was no Grand Arcanist in charge, and it was not that he threw himself into Her Royal Highness at the slightest hint of trouble.
Perhaps Rodney's anomalous actions were at the behest of a certain Grand Arcanist, and it is likely that this Grand Arcanist is not the same as Her Royal Highness.
The specific relationship between the Grand Arcanists, Alberk had no way of knowing, and he didn't dare to speculate at will, but there were only fifteen Grand Arcanists on Netheril's face, and one by one, there was always one messenger.
However, now is not the time to study this, so Alberk summoned Xia Duo, "This Cole has atoned for his sins, and it is a problem to stay in the territory, let him go." ”
Already atoned for?
Xia Duo thought of Cole's previous act of self-redemption, and of course, the words that directly stated that Lord Rodney was interested in the Green Bead Forest, perhaps this was what Alberke said "has atoned for".
So, to put it or not to put it?
First of all, it is definitely impossible to kill, maybe Cole at this moment is a pure and innocent believer in the eyes of the heavens, and the killing is unknown, this kind of awe still needs to be there.
But if he let it go like this, he was a little unwilling.
For a while, many thoughts appeared in Xia Duo's mind, entangled with each other, and finally reason prevailed, and he decided to follow the elder's advice - let go.
Speaking of which, this time it was more like a commercial deception, but this time he didn't deceive Xia Duo, and even he felt that Cole was too mentally retarded to come over and be the chief consultant so arrogantly.
But now that Cole has paid the price, there's no need for him to hold on.
As for Lord Rodney's covetousness for the Green Bead Forest, Xia Duo was also helpless, because neither the Great Xia Nor the Saville Lords had actually ruled the Green Bead Forest.
The default is the private land of the Savile Territory, and it is just an unspoken rule, and now someone breaks the unspoken rule, in fact, it is very passive here.
Seeing that the move is indispensable, it depends on what the other party will do next.
Looking at Cole, who still looked calm, without the slightest impatience, and even faintly showed a look of awe, Xia Duo felt how he felt diaphragm.
With a wave of his hand, he asked Layton to expel him from the country.
……
Later, he and Alberck stepped aside and talked about the Rodney Territory, from which Chardo learned more about the Rodney Territory.
The name of this generation of Lord Rodney is Ozkal Rodney, and it is said that he was very fond of swordsmanship when he was young, and the previous lord also invited a master of swordsmanship from the elven kingdom for him, and Ozkal even gave up magic for a time.
However, Ozkal is not known for his swordsmanship, but for his ability to give birth.
In the previous generation, Lord Rodney had only one child, that is, Ozkal, but in this generation, almost no one can count Ozkal's children.
Not because of secrecy, but because there are too many.
When Xia Duo first heard this, he had to think that he had heard it wrong, that a mage, or arcanist, was not known for magic, but for being able to give birth.
This is really incongruous.
He vaguely remembered that when he had just crossed over, he had heard adventurers talking about the northern estrus ram at the Old Neil Inn, could it be Lord Rodney?
Conquer the world by blood?
Thinking of the bloodline, Xia Duo hurriedly asked, "Do the people of the Rodney family have any special bloodline?" ”
If this were not the case, why could an ordinary person who was once obsessed with swordsmanship end up becoming an Arcanist?
However, his question was not answered by Alberke, and Xia Duo felt that he was too confused, and now the focus should be on the relationship behind the Rodney Collar.
At this point, Xia Duo also had the intention of ending the conversation, "That's it, I'm going to contact Nia to see if she can find out anything through the relationship between Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
With that, Alberk teleported away again.
Looking at Abbeck who came and went like the wind, Xia Duo was full of envy, of course he would not be satisfied with just [short-distance teleportation], only the 5-ring [teleportation technique] that really came and went like the wind was what he wanted.
However, he is also fast!
