Vicky needs to stay in Swanstein Castle to deal with the mess that Orthodoxy will leave behind, which means that it will be a few days before he can see him again. Putting down the rebels for the king must have been a top priority, while at the same time calming the emotions of the lords and nobles so that panic would not spread among them.

Recently, the Star Castle has become very lively, and many lords have come to the royal capital to ask for peace from the king. They also sent their young sons to the royal family to be trained as chamberlains, and some brought younger children to the palace in the hope that they would become friends with the little prince. Evan was overwhelmed, but on the surface he was still very pleased to accept all kinds of flattery and gifts, and then said a few high-sounding words of encouragement. Siegel was also harassed by this, and the old nobles of the Eastern Continent began to re-examine this rapidly rising upstart. Especially after hearing that the Marquis of Siegel had established an advance base west of the city wall mountain range, which happened to face the endless borderland, he hoped that the second or third son of his family could go to the starting point fortress in order to obtain the benefits of the fief.

Master Shelley persuaded Siegel that he would not be able to continue to expand his territory for ten years, not to mention that there would be no gain, and that it would cause His Majesty's displeasure in vain. For young people who want to develop in Heimling, throwing them all into the Academy of Magic is the best outcome. There is no shortage of warriors in the Heim Realm, but there will always be a shortage of spellcasters, and Siegel nodded in agreement.

It took another two weeks for Wiki, the intelligence director, to return, and instead of waiting for Siegel to look for him, he found Siegel first. His furrowed brow showed that he was full of doubt, which was rare for the intelligence director.

"Lord Marquis, as His Majesty's most trusted archmage, what do you think about the end of the world and the Wall of Storms?"

Few people can tie these two things together. And all of them have an understanding of the world beyond this crystal wall. Although Siegel had told Evan about the goblin world. But he never spoke of the Wall of Storms as a harbinger of the destruction of the world.

His Majesty must not always have the feeling of "ruling a country that is about to be destroyed".

But since the intelligence director asked. That means that the matter will definitely be reported to Evan eventually. Siegel said a very brief account of the situation on the Wall of Storms, and then saw that Wiki's face was getting worse and worse.

"I've seen quite a few lords lately, and some of them are asking me about it. Vicky said: "They say a lot of strange things, but the essence is not much like what you just said. I'm worried that someone is deliberately spreading the news. ”

"Can you know where these messages started?" Siegel thought for a moment, but decided to ask more specifically: "Mage Guild, elves or dwarves?"

Viki rubbed his hands together and squeezed his knuckles to make a click-click sound. "I'm still looking into it. But who else but the Mage Guild and the Elves would spread such news? The Kingdom's stargazing platform has been useless for a long time, the dwarves have been underground like moles, and only the mages and elves will look at the sky. He approached Siegel and asked in a low voice, "Lord Marquis, is this news true or false?"

"I can't find a reason to refute it, so ......" Siegel nodded to the wiki, "Let's go to His Majesty and report this together." ”

On the way to the King's study and while waiting for the reception, Siegel had been pondering the purpose of the news. The Wall of Storms is the Wall of Destruction, which expands out of the New World and then begins to shrink into the process of destroying the world. Although there are so many rumors so far, it is conceivable that there will be new news in the future.

The Wall of Storms has been around for so many years. Everyone before was secretive about it. On the one hand, no one cares and thinks, after all, all a person sees is his world. After all, there are only a few people who can travel to other worlds, and they choose not to say anything about it for various reasons after they come back.

Even if he did, who would be able to stop this? Master William had told Siegel about it, but a man of his caliber would not have carried saving the world on his shoulders. The gods purposefully concealed this fact, and even helped to cover it up to some extent. Siegel also heard from the Green Dragon that the god of magic and knowledge had shrouded the world with his divine powers in order to better study the dice, thus obscuring and preventing the world's attention and research on the wall of storms.

And now that the news has been released again, it can't help but make people think about the conspiracy behind it.

The two of them waited outside the reception room, with their own servants bringing food and drink. Vicky picked a few of the sausages and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them twice, and swallowed them quickly. This is a fast-paced method of eating, and it is not easy to make sounds or leak smells with a closed mouth, which is used by professional spies when they need to lurk for long periods of time. Wiki has become a habit, even when it usually eats.

From the next room came the sound of porcelain smashing, and there was a faint noise. Siegel frowned, and he could tell it was Ammon's voice. What's going on, why did the couple get into a fight? He turned his gaze to the wiki, hoping to get an answer from him.

Vikki's eyes avoided Siegel's gaze, but he noticed that Siegel was still staring at him, so he sighed and said, "Lord Marquis, you need to persuade your sister. His Majesty the King is His Majesty the King after all, so it is natural that there will be a woman's popularity. In this regard, she should understand. ”

"Huh?" Siegel blinked. Ammon wasn't his real sister, and she couldn't speak at all.

After a while, Evan walked over with a gloomy face, and rubbed his face when he saw Siegel and Vicky, which was a little soothing. He complained to Siegel: "I've never seen her so jealous before, it's just that a complaining woman pounced on her and asked for a kiss, and nothing happened." ”

Wiki hung his head and pretended not to hear anything.

Siegel snorted embarrassedly, he couldn't say, "With His Majesty's skills, how can an ordinary woman pounce." Hopefully, this is just a small thing, which will soon pass and will not affect the life of the king and queen.

Although the mood of His Majesty the King is important. But Kingdom matters should be reported as soon as possible. Wiki told the story of what it knew. Where expertise is involved, it is supplemented by Siegel.

"What is the attitude of the temples?" said Evan, looking at the wiki. Hopefully he can give himself some good news. Things haven't gotten to that far, though, and the temple hasn't commented on the matter yet.

Vicky said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send men to stop the spread of this news? If this prophecy of destruction is casually spoken from troubadours, merchants, and farmers who don't understand anything, they can be arrested for spreading rumors." ”

"I believe in the power of the kingdom, but this can only be comfortable for a while, and then there will be more trouble. Siegel shook his head and said what he thought: "In the end, the temple will definitely come forward in this matter, after all, the priest needs to answer the questions of the believers. Unless the royal family has the ability to order all the temples to lie. Or at least all silence, or else eventually the news will spread. Even the Temple of Dawn, which has the best connections, is unlikely to be of much help in covering up the news because of its teachings. Mother Earth is even more independent, and it would be good if the Temple of Death and the Temple of War did not contribute to the trouble. So covering up this matter will only damage the image of the royal family. ”

Evan hesitated, "Image? What's the use of having an image at this time? As long as people believe in the end of the world, then who will obey the law? Not only will there be more outlaws, but all the lords may have a second heart." When the kingdom is in chaos, what is the use of the image?"

"When everything is chaotic, only hope can reunite people's hearts. Siegel scratched his head: "People with a good image can make people feel hope." ”

Actually, this is not Siegel's theory. but the Great Prophet Liel's. In Liele's view, the two eternal interacting forces in the world are order and chaos. He also used chaos to sabotage Siegel's plans for the goblins. Since then, Siegel has been thinking about the shortcomings in his actions, and how he can make a more comprehensive and fault-tolerant plan. As long as there is hope, people will not be completely crazy, which is more powerful than believing in order or goodness.

The more difficult and difficult times are, the greater the power of hope, because hope can take all the negative forces of hardship and hardship for its own use. After listening to Siegel's words, Evan immediately understood what he meant. In this regard, the Star Royal Family, as the ruler, has no shortage of precedents in history for the use of such methods.

"I understand, don't add fuel to the news, but don't try to stop it either. Evan instructed the wiki: "You can guide it, just say that the end of the world is said by the Mage Guild, and avoid pointing the finger at the royal family." ”

The Chief of Intelligence nodded, but Siegel stopped him. "Your Majesty, if the Mage Guild says something inappropriate at this time, it will be impossible to control. ”

"What can they say?" Evan frowned, but he immediately thought of a possible response from the Mage Guild.

In order to be able to escape from a world destined for destruction, it is necessary to have new territories and residences, so His Majesty needs to lead the loyal knights to conquer the world of goblins. All the gods, all the common people, will put their hopes and concerns on the king's shoulders, making him invincible and invincible.

Will the Mage Guild do this? Judging from the fact that they have been asking His Majesty to send troops to the Crystal Wall Passage as soon as possible, it is a sure thing to do. Will His Majesty Evan still be able to contain the situation? As Siegel has just feared, in times of despair, even if conservative approach is the wisest choice, people will still follow impulsive and seemingly hopeful leadership.

"In other words, the Mage Guild will definitely use this opportunity to gain more power? What a damn thing," Evan cursed, "don't they know what it means to stop in moderation? Their art academies and mage guilds are in collusion, not focusing on magic, but digging into the vortex of power and politics. It seems that the war that the elves lost in the New World has not yet woken them up!"

The right to speak cannot be given to the Mage Association or the School City, this is the bottom line. As for this rumor, if no one comes up with real evidence, I will ignore it for the time being. Whoever comes up with solid evidence, or who wants to take advantage of the panic, this should be closely watched by the wiki, and it should not be merciful. (To be continued.) )
