Chapter 532: Each Has His Own Mind
"The king is a master of swordsmanship, an upright swordsman, a valiant knight, a nobleman, but he is still lacking as a king. Salk sighed, then said, "Compared to Aaron, he is much better, but when compared to his father, there is still a big gap. ”
"He's young and has plenty of time to learn and grow, and we're all like that. ”
"Of course I understand that. But the problem is that his enemies have not been renewed, and they have not weakened at all compared to before. Salk said: "I'm sure you know that victory is not about potential, it's about current strength. ”
"You're sophistry, but it's not entirely unreasonable. Siegel said, "But who is the enemy you are talking about? I don't want to go on guessing dumb riddles." ”
"Who else could it be? The old king has two mature sons, and Aaron and Evan have a good relationship, and the kingdom is about to go on smoothly. Then on a trip to the New World, Aaron's body was severely damaged, and his life span was greatly reduced. His Majesty is also thinking about whether to let Evan inherit the throne. He was well aware that Evan needed to be trained and trained, and he made a series of plans for him. At this moment, a hunting accident caused the king to die, and he died before he could even take out the important edict to announce it to the world. The whole kingdom will be dragged into civil strife by the conflict between the two princes, and who will benefit from this?"
"Anyone who might rise to the throne of power in a war is a suspect, are you trying to make that clear?" Siegel shook his head, then said, "What you said is a possible thing, but it's too complicated to implement. Even if someone thinks so. Who can guarantee the execution of the whole plan? I can't think of anyone who can do such a thing. And what about the evidence?"
"How can such a high level of execution leave evidence. Lord Marquis. ”
"So what you're saying is just one side. I'll admit that these things are all coincidental, but that's all it takes. And let's go around and around, and the final issue to discuss is the assassination of you by the conspirators. What have you done to make them hate you so much?"
"I'm loyal to the kingdom, and that's probably my only good quality. Salk smiled, folded his hands together, and said, "Who do you think brought about the succession of the two kings, Aaron and Evan? Who first put this idea in King Aaron's mind? The old king has this will, and I will make it happen, and at the same time avoid the division of the country." That reason was enough for me to be killed. ”
"Well, I'll admit that you're worthy of being killed - if that's an honor. Siegel nodded, "I can promise to protect you." But there is one precondition: this matter must be prepared by His Majesty. ”
"Based on what you know about His Majesty Evan, what will he do? Strengthen the defenses of the palace, or deliberately paralyze the enemy and prepare to wipe them out? Seriously, I think the latter is more likely. No matter what Your Majesty says, he is more like a swordsman now, and he will only do it after the enemy appears. This is an excellent quality that guarantees that he will not harm the innocent. But this is not the safest for a king. Orthodoxy has been around for a long time, and there were several attempts to kill Evan during King Aaron's time. However, since none of the Assassins had a chance for Evan to see, he did not believe in the existence of these assassinations. So after he ascended the throne, he did not immediately raise the butcher's knife against this organization. ”
It was because Evan did not raise the butcher's knife that Sir Bill was able to survive until now. Siegel began to feel a little disgusted by Salk's words. Is it necessary to be a king to become vile and suspicious? Although history has proved that both upright and despicable coexist, a king who trusts and suspects both can do it longer and better...... Evan is clearly not like that yet.
"At the very least, the Imperial Guards need to know about this and keep them on their guard. "Wiki must also be vigilant, he has the ...... to find out," Siegel said.
"Find out what?" Salk shook his head, "Lord Marquis, if you still believe that intelligence monger, then I was obviously wrong to come to you. ”
Siegel couldn't tell if what he said was true or false, it wasn't like a magic spell that could be followed, or even more troublesome than a legendary spell. "No one can go on forever, but as long as they live, there is still hope. Siegel could only avoid the question and said to Salk, "On that day, if you can't find me, come to my study, or go to the magic ship." These are all places to keep you safe. ”
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, and I wish you all the peace. Salk knew he had nothing more to say, so he put his hood back on and got up to take his leave.
Although murder is not a fun thing, it is also a spice in life for Siegel. He can take this opportunity to calm down and think about what he is still lacking and whether there are still loopholes. At that time, the assassin who is confident that he will be able to break through the layers of defense and come to him must be very skilled, and Siegel is still very curious about this.
As Salk had guessed, His Majesty did not take the Assassins very seriously, but rather comforted the trembling steward. The palace guards stepped up their precautions and stepped up patrols in all places in and out of the Star Fortress. As a result, a few days passed, nothing happened, and everything was even calmer than before.
In this calm, the Mage Guild's "Goblin Expedition Plan" was finally delivered to the royal palace.
Siegel was in his possession of a copy of the manuscript, on which the ink had not yet fully dried, and it was evident that it had been written in a hurry. The plan for how to destroy the goblins takes less than two thousand words, and it can be summed up as "start a scuffle between the goblins and let them destroy themselves." ”
This is a solution, Siegel had thought of since the beginning of his research on goblins. Even if there were no mages to intervene in the shadows, the goblins would have pointed their world-destroying weapons at each other, and would immediately fight back if attacked. They have enough weapons in stock to destroy the Earth dozens of times, so it's the easiest way to destroy the goblins.
But then the entire earth will be completely covered with dust, and the poisonous clouds that will obscure the sky and the sun will cover every inch of space, and not a single ray of sunlight will be cast. All plants will disappear, and all animals will be reduced to dry bones. In hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, the earth will become a completely dead world, and there will be no more conditions for life to survive.
This is hard for Siegel to accept. In order to win, can they pull down their means infinitely? According to the history of the goblins, it is precisely because they have always done so that they have become what they are now. Siegel doesn't want the people around him to become bottomless and become a victorious utilitarian.
After this more than 3,000-word destruction plan, it is the core of the plan of the Mage Guild. They also knew that the goblin world that had been hit by their nuclear bomb had no habitation value, so they targeted other planets on the goblin crystal wall.
They came up with a plan to transform the world. Harnessing divine power, elemental power, and magic, and of course, the role of a magical spaceship, the Mage Guild is ready to alter Earth's satellite environment to suit the habitation requirements of races such as humans.
Elves, dwarves, humans, and every other race will have new areas of life - orcs, of course, not the orcs. The biggest difference between the Goblin Wall and the Thunder Wall World is the breadth, it has countless stars, unlike the Thunder Wall World, where the stars in the sky are just projections left by the Storm Wall.
There are enough planets to colonize, the only problem is the goblins that stand in the way of the entrances and exits, and these goblins have their weapons around each other's necks. The Mage Guild depicts a world large enough that it is ready to transform the environment to create a magic circle that breathes air, grows soil, and drinks water.
It seems like a beautiful plan, but Siegel smells something unusual about it. Being able to support such a plan is not something that can be accomplished by a few magic arrays, and the most important thing is that the Mage Guild is not written in it.
Only by relying on the Mir Energy Core to provide enough powerful energy can those magic arrays that transform the weather and geological level be able to operate, only by relying on magic ships can they go to those planets for colonization in the early stage, and only by setting up more powerful continuous teleportation array channels can a large number of people be transferred to colonized planets.
This is not a problem that one or two Myrnecans can solve. Siegel calculated that if he wanted to carry out the plan of the Mage Guild initially, it would need at least ten Mir Cores to be able to establish a stable small environment for the use of the original pioneers. Then the number of cores will continue to rise, and the more the initial number, the faster the environment will be transformed. If you want to complete the engineering of a planet in a hundred years, you need at least nearly two hundred Mir cores.
"It's so vicious!" Siegel put down the plan, his teeth clenched. He could think of the pressure that would follow, whether to give or not to give this Mir Energy Core. If it is not given, countless slanders and abuses will ensue, and someone will definitely secretly add fuel to the fire and completely discredit Siegel's reputation. Although this will not reduce Siegel's own magical strength, it will likely cause him to lose his outside arms, and even his control over the Mage Federation will decrease. Scolding doesn't hurt, but it's enough to isolate people, and that's exactly what the Mage Guild has in mind.
Although the Federation already has a full set of manufacturing methods, the most critical element aggregate model is still in Siegel's hands. Of course, the Archmage could continue to keep it a secret and "ignite" each of the Myr Cores himself, but would he have time for anything else in that case?
Moreover, these Mir Energy Cores are to be handed over for use, and the Mage Guild will soon wipe out Siegel's advantage in the use of elemental energy, and it has enough power to defend against Siegel's attack. If even the threat ability that ended up in the end is lost, then what security guarantee does Siegel have in this encounter?
Keep yourself busy, take up your time and energy to study magic, and slow down your development - Siegel looked at the unfinished plan in front of him: this is really a great project, even a god will be dragged to death by him. (To be continued.) )
