After reaching an agreement, Duanmu Huai turned to leave, and the king returned to his office, where a man was waiting for his arrival.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?"

Looking at the king in front of him, Duke Grandz looked at him with a solemn expression, while the latter shook his head.

"For now, I can only hope that this will work to some extent."

"To be honest, I think you're taking too much risk by betting on a risk-taker and an organization you've never heard of."

"After all, it's an adventurer, is it still called an adventurer if you don't take risks?"

The King laughed at Duke Grants' admonition, and then he regained his expression.

"But to be honest, I'm just an insurance policy, Grants, at least, that one is a warrior who stands up to the sky, and I trust my instincts, he should be someone you can trust. To tell the truth, the current kingdom of Paretya......... Maybe that's the best thing to do for the time being. ”

Saying this, the king walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside with a solemn expression.

It was no wonder that the king was so solemn, because he knew very well that the kingdom of Paretia was currently in a state of turmoil.

And all this has to start from the time of the ancestors of the Paretian Kingdom.

In the primeval era, one day, the demons suddenly appeared in front of humans, they were able to manipulate unimaginable miracles ——— magic, and at the same time they were able to fly in the sky. In this way, the demons launched a large-scale massacre of humans. At that time, human beings had almost no means of resistance in the face of the demons.

It was at that time that the ancestors of the Kingdom of Paretia found a way to gain ——— ability to use magic through a contract with the elves of magic. Because of this, the Kingdom of Paretiya became one of the few countries that could survive the attack of the demons at that time, and they also relied on the power of elven magic to create an enchantment barrier to isolate the demons.

And of course, the magicians who were able to use elven magic became the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Paretia. They are also proud of their bloodline, and believe that the kingdom of Paretia will eventually become a beacon to humanity.

However, alas, while the ancestors of the Parretian kingdom were wise, others were not fools either. Although the magic used by the demons cannot be parsed by humans at all. But human beings still used their own ingenuity to create a new magic system that belongs to human beings.

Thereupon......... Well, in this way, the position of the Kingdom of Parretia instantly became very awkward.

Although elven magic is powerful, this magic requires a contract with the elves, and the only people who can sign a contract with the elves are the blood of the royal family and nobles of Paretia. Ordinary people can't use elven magic, which is also a source of pride for nobles.

Outcome......... The emergence of the human magic system completely crushed the pride of the Parretian nobility.

It's like driving a car, you drive a Rolls-Royce and watch other people walk, and it naturally creates a sense of superiority.

After all, if I drive you to walk, it means that I am better than you, right?

But just when you were triumphant, a Wuling Hongguang drove next to you, and one foot on the accelerator directly hit you in the face.........

Isn't everyone running on four wheels on the ground, what's the big deal? Can I Wuling Hongguang still drift, do you dare Rolls-Royce?

Although the Paretian nobles considered elven magic to be noble, they looked down on the human magic system, calling it commoner magic.

But so what?

Whether it's elven magic or civilian magic, can't the summoned fireballs destroy the demons?

Because of this, the Paretian nobles hated plebeian magic very much, but as a royal family, it was obvious that they could not be as short-sighted as the nobles. The royal family of Paretya has long discovered that if this continues, elven magic will decline sooner or later, and the human magic system will eventually dominate the world. After all, elven magic still requires bloodlines to sign contracts, and the human magic system can be used by anyone with talent.

So the royal family has also tried to change this situation, in fact, the first king once tried to give a noble title to a person who has made a meritorious service using the human magic system.

This made the nobles extremely unhappy, they saw it as a threat, after all, the nobles were not stupid, and they also knew that the human magic system was easier to learn and spread than elven magic. If this is the beginning, then I am afraid that in a few years, all nobles who use elven magic will be completely eliminated by those who use the human magic system.

So in order to preserve their position and reputation, the nobles launched a rebellion directly and decisively.

That's right, rebellion.

They would rather wage war and destroy the entire country than allow the human magic system to take their rightful place.

The current king was forced to ascend the throne during the rebellion, although he joined forces with his friend Duke Grandz to forcibly suppress the rebellion and purge the nobles who started the rebellion. But the nobles' insistence on their status and elven magic still shocked the king.

In fact, the Northland Fortress that was lost before, it was because of the civil war caused by this noble rebellion that the Northland was attacked by the demons and lost, until the demon soldiers came to the royal city, the royal family and the nobles finally reached a consensus and joined forces to repel the attack of the demons, but after this battle, the royal family no longer dared to talk casually about the human magic system.

The previous rebellion had already caused the Kingdom of Parredia to lose a third of its territory, and if it happened again, I am afraid that the whole country would really perish.

After all, the Kingdom of Paretiya is on the border of the demons, and it can be said that it is one of the frontlines of the human race against the demons, stability is overriding everything, and there must be no accidents, so the king also wants to continue to maintain it like this.

However, unfortunately, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the birth of Anicefia makes the king have a headache again.

Strange to say, Anice Fia is the blood of the royal family, but she cannot sign a contract with the elves and use elven magic. Of course, Anice Fia could also learn the human magic system, and someone else might have done that.

But Anicefia ——— no!

Because she is the princess of the kingdom of Paretia!

If she learns the human magic system, it will pose an even greater threat to the nobles than before! Because Anice Fia is a princess, she theoretically has the right to inherit the throne, if a princess who has learned the human magic system inherits the throne, will the nobles who use elven magic still have a way to live?

As you can imagine, a second rebellion is just around the corner.

What made the king even more troublesome was that he couldn't sign a contract with the elves to use elven magic, but his daughter liked magic very much. I don't know where she got so many wonderful ideas, but her daughter actually chose to create a strange science ——— magic!

Anicefia's idea was simple, since she couldn't use magic, she would just create a tool that could use magic, and at first, the king only thought it was a fantasy, so he went with her.

But what the king didn't expect was that Aenisfia actually made a difference.........

Now it's a big problem.

You know, magic items can be more terrifying than the human magic system, and the human magic system still needs talented people to learn in the end, but magic items can be used by everyone. Because of this, many people actually see the potential of Princess Aynesfia and support her career.

However, for the conservative aristocracy who used elven magic, it was even more hateful than the human magic system.

Although they look down on the human magic system, but take 10,000 steps back, the human magic system is still magic, but magic is not magic at all, can you imagine that a little kid dragging snot on the street can release a fireball as powerful as elven magic with a stick?

So what else is magic for?

Take the lightsaber that Anice Fia made before, for example, it can easily split the body of a monster that a sword can't split, and in fact, the Knights have also made several statements in the hope of equipping the army with this magic lightsaber. After all, the army needs to fight against Warcraft and Demons on the front line, and if this magic lightsaber can be used, then it will definitely be able to reduce casualties and expand the results of the battle.

At the level of the state and the royal family, this is also only good and not bad, and there is no reason to disagree at all.

But these proposals were withdrawn under pressure from the conservative aristocracy, who would never allow the flow of such a power that would allow people who had not studied magic to easily grasp the power of magic.

However, this also alarmed the conservative aristocracy, who also found that if the magic continued to spread, Anicefia might gain the support of the majority of the people, and then things would become more and more tricky. So they all stood behind the prince at the moment, desperately trying to give him advice, and in the eyes of these nobles, the best way was for the prince to become king, and then marry this renegade princess to another country far away, and the matter would be settled.

Therefore, they fought desperately, hoping to let the prince command the war to reclaim the Northland fortress, so as to gain the popularity of being able to confront Anicefia.

Of course, the nobles also knew that if they couldn't fight the demons and monsters in the sky, then trying to retake the Northland was just a fantasy.

It's just that I didn't expect this matter to take a turn for the better.

What they didn't expect was that the turnaround came from Her Royal Highness the Princess, whom they looked down on.

Instead, these nobles began to boast to the king about Princess Anicefia's prowess and strongly recommended that she take part in the Northlands Raid.

Of course, this was not a discovery of their conscience, in fact, the king also knew what they wanted to do——— it was obvious that these nobles were trying to take advantage of this Northland crusade to completely erase the "destabilizing factor" of Anicefia.

The king had even written a script for them——— the brave Princess Anice Fia died in the Northland Crusade against the mighty demons, and her good character is worth learning from all of us......... Anyway, people die like lights go out, as long as Anice Fia dies, then the magic she discovered will be finished, and saying a few good words for the dead will not lose a few pieces of meat for the nobles.

But if Anice Fia were alive, that would be the problem of losing her head.

If it was just Anisfia alone, then the king would also be very nerve-wracking, and he knew that such a political struggle would be too easy, because Anicefia was the only one who could fly, so the nobles could give Anicefia those dangerous tasks that she had to do, and leave her alone in danger, and then be killed.

But it's unlikely that Anicefia won't go, after all, the situation in front of you is like this, if you need to recover the Northland, you need to fight against the aerial attacks of demons and monsters, so you must let people who can fight in the air come forward. Not to mention that Anice Fia is a royal family, and it is also her mission to protect the kingdom of Paretia.

But luckily......... There is also the Duanmu locust.

Although it was only a few words, the king had already discovered that the Iron Warrior in front of him was an extremely domineering and arrogant person, that is, he was unlikely to be bribed by the nobles. That's why he specially asked Duanmu Huai to help protect Anice Fia to prevent her from being victimized by the intrigues of those nobles.

For him, as a king, there is only so much he can do at the moment.

The king also knew that things would not be so simple, and those old-fashioned nobles would definitely not let Agnis Fia go, and the only thing he could do now was ............... It's prayer.

Hopefully, after the reconquest of the Northlands, things will be able to move in the favorable direction you want.

Duanmu Huai didn't know what the king was thinking, but when he returned to the inn, he immediately found the real machine.

"There's something I'd like you to help with, really smart."

"What's the matter? Big brother? ”

Hearing that Duanmu Huai needed his own help with something, Zhenjiling's eyes suddenly widened.

"I hope you can go and investigate some information about the nobles and royal family of the Kingdom of Paretia."

"Investigative intelligence?"

"That's right, I'm not asking you to find out some secrets, I'm just asking you to gather some 'obvious' and 'well-known' things."

Although Duanmu Huai didn't know what was going on inside the Paretiya Kingdom, he was sure that something was definitely going wrong.

The reason is simple.

The king of Paretia has a son and a daughter, and logically speaking, you have to leave one as insurance, where is there anyone who sends both of them to the battlefield? If this is not good, and both of them are dead, then your royal family will not even have an heir? After all, this is not a battle with humans, but a battle with demons, the magic of demons is strange and diverse, who can say what will happen, frankly, it would not be surprising if the two of them died.

Of course, if you want to say that it is a battle for the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, but the recovery of the Northland, failure, will not lead to the destruction of the country, so Duanmu Huai feels that this approach is really reasonable.

What's more, if Duanmu Huai's guess is correct, the demons in this world are likely to believe in treacherous tricks, and engaging in intrigues at the national level is even more of their specialty.

It doesn't matter if it can be done first, it will definitely be done anyway.

Duanmu Huai and Aujisi are not good at inquiring about information, so they can only leave it to Zhenjiling to do.

"Can you do it? Really smart? ”

"Of course."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Zhen Jiling nodded vigorously.

"I'll definitely bring you the information you want to my big brother!"
