Chapter 164 Guidelines
"Don't!!!"
He roared hysterically, holding his head in his hands as if something was about to hit him, and at the same time, on the verge of madness, he tugged at his face in pain, and even pulled his long hair.
The cries of sorrow echoed in the prison, and the piercing fear pierced the eardrums of every soldier, and the soldiers who pretended to be calm trembled with it.
Wu and Dacis, who were completely out of the situation, showed puzzled expressions.
And Steiss also cried out with all his strength, but his already weak body no longer had enough energy for him to roar so loudly.
Eventually, he was so tired that he stopped crying, and his limbs were limp on a pool of warm.
Kurt looked satisfied and tucked the scissors back into his trouser pocket. Wu and Daxis looked at each other suspiciously, and the two still didn't understand the current situation.
But seeing that Steis's strength was exhausted, it seemed that it was difficult to continue interrogating ....... Sure enough, Curt shouldn't have been allowed to interrogate ordinary people, and I'm afraid no one can survive that spicy method.
However, fortunately, Kurt did not kill Stiss, which also means that he is suppressing the anger and desire in his heart.
In desperation, Wu Ye had no choice but to cough lightly twice, and calmly instructed Stiss, who didn't know if he was still conscious:
"It's okay if you don't want to answer, but I'm still firm on the apology, and in a few days I'll announce the punishment of you and the settlement between the two countries, and you, as the fuse, will have to go with you. Rest before that. β
After giving the order, Wu threw a look at the two guards guarding the outside of the cell and gestured.
The guards understood and unlocked the door to the cell.
"Grooming him and placing him in a random room, and on top of that, change the combination of guards every three hours."
"Yes!"
Now Stesis was powerless to resist, so he could only let two soldiers lead him to his room.
The haggard face was completely bloodless, and the weak body could not even crawl, and even the enemy felt a trace of pity for him.
But to be able to abuse to such a breakdown, Kurt is truly a sadist, especially for adult men.
Kurt looked at the artwork that was gradually disappearing with a calm face, in fact, he was a little reluctant in his heart.
Darcis, however, wondered why Stasis was so emaciated.
"Mistress Kurt, may I ask a question?"
"Excuse me."
"What exactly did you do to him? Make him so miserable that he even has symptoms of epilepsy when he hears the sound of scissors? β
"What about this-it's just pretending to cut off his XXX, but in fact, using spatialization to hide his XXX. I didn't expect him to believe it, and it turned out to be this virtuous character. β
ββ¦β¦β
Darcis's words stopped, and he was almost frightened of his snake gall. Wu was used to listening to it, and didn't say anything.
However, the fear of losing vital organs does leave a deep scarring on people, so much so that when they hear the sound of scissors, they reactively express their emotions out of control.
"That's it, I'll talk to the others tomorrow about visiting Discent and Stexis, and you can leave first, I have something I want to talk to Darcis."
"Yes."
Kurt bowed to the two of them and walked away quickly.
After making sure that Kurt was gone, Wu took Darcis' to his room.
As soon as you open the door, you can see the space inside. The room was very simple, with nothing but a small wooden table and a bunch of scrolls. The scrolls are arranged in an orderly manner on the tatami mats on the side, stacked in the shape of a pyramid according to the date of change.
It's such a simple room, not at all like what a superior person should have. After all, there is no need to eat and sleep, and in the future, he will not be detained in Smokar very often, so no amount of furniture is a waste.
But to be honest, Wu doesn't like those cumbersome decorations and furnishings, even though he has lived in a prosperous palace since he was a child, Wu still thinks that those are just superfluous expensive obstacles.
"Seeing that you are doing business in the field, and there are still so many documents in the room, do you secretly come back here every night?"
"Of course not. Only the Night Pavilion and I have been in this room so far, and you are the third guest to visit my room. β
"Really? That's an honor. β
Darcisse laughed jokingly as he picked up his royal cigarette utensils from the cuffs of his robe.
After making sure that there was no one outside the door, Wu cautiously closed the door and sat on the ground.
"Sit down."
"Thank you, Master Fortes."
Darcy sat down slowly at the wooden table, comfortably lighting the cigarette utensils from the match in his hand.
And Dacis's tone and response were so respectful that Wu couldn't help but put on an impatient look.
"How many times have I said that don't use honorifics on me in private meetings. After all, you're the only one who knows who I really am, and you're going to make me feel a little alienated by doing so. β
"Hahahaha! I'm sorry, I'm used to it. β
"Really."
Darcy expertly lit his smoking utensils, and white smoke began to fill the room.
"So what's the matter with you? Fortes. β
"Wellβit's not a big deal, it's just that I want to discuss with you about the future policy against Einke."
"Oh!? I just want to protect this wetland, and I don't care much about anything else. So do you have any ideas? β
"I do have that, but I think it needs to be discussed with you."
"Eun, please speak."
Wu leaned his hands on the table, his face a little serious.
"I hope to use Sthisis as a lever for the future alliance between Smokal and the Kingdom of Einck."
With such a thunderbolt proposal, Darcis's continued to smoke unexpectedly, and his calm expression seemed to have guessed Wu's proposal.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Eynke is not only a powerful country, but also has a strong national name, and if it can successfully form an alliance, it will definitely make Smokal's national name powerful. β
"That's what I said, but ......"
Wu's expression was still heavy, but Daxis was also well aware of Wu's troubles. Taking a deep breath of cigarette, in the hazy smoke, that indifferent expression had already taken into account Wu's thoughts.
"The relationship between Smokal and Einke is very complicated right now, and the decision to 'form an alliance' is not something we can decide."
"That's right, we don't have a choice in our hands, and the only chess piece that can change the tide of the battle is Staces."
That's right, as one of the spiritual families representing the Kingdom of Aynck, the mistakes made by Stexis are definitely the fuse that provoked wars in various countries.
If there is a rumor that "the Kingdom of Aynke wantonly attacks a small country", it will definitely hit the national prestige of Ainke seriously.
But in the same way, Wu is also relatively wary of two important figures.
Street Ming Lunk with his father, the Emperor, Disent.
After facing Fellomar and the abduction of children, he also knows that Jie Minglang is not a good type. Although it is not certain whether the assassination of himself has anything to do with him, his cunning must not be overlooked.
Regarding the alliance, the father will definitely refer to the idea of Street Minglangke, he does not know what secret cards he is hiding, if he rashly asks for an alliance, I am afraid that Smokal will suffer immeasurable losses.
If the negotiations fail, will there be a chance of victory in the war against Einke?
- The answer should be a lose-lose situation.
In terms of combat power, the father emperor is definitely the biggest threat.
As the "Dragon Envoy", his father can not only wield the power of the dragon clan, but also perform human magic. Although he had fought against his father in the cave before, he was convinced that it was definitely not all his strength.
First of all, he observed the elemental content in his father's body through his gluttonous perception ability, and at the same time discovered a shocking truth-
In fact, there is some kind of sealing technique in the body of the father, and although it seems to be a long-term sealing technique, it is still perfectly preserved to the present. This should be a "sealing magic" that suppresses the elements in the body, or a technique to seal some kind of monster in the body, after all, the father who is a dragon envoy must retain an unknown powerful power.
Unfortunately, when fighting himself, his father did not lift the sealing technique. Maybe the father himself couldn't be lifted or didn't know how to do it, but this also proves that the father only used about 10% of his strength to fight against him at that time, and even almost won against himself.
Moreover, he only knew that his father could control the power of the dragon clan, but he didn't know what kind of power his father controlled before he became a dragon envoy. Although the power of human beings is simply vulnerable in the face of gluttony, whoever calls this human being the father emperor is a threat that he must not underestimate.
The last point is also the point in which I have the least confidence. No matter how I say that my father is my father after all, even if my identity changes, I can't change my relationship with my father, if I really hit it, can I kill my father ruthlessly?
He didn't think that his father would surrender to him, because in his heart, the safety of the country was more important than anything else, even more important than himself. Under this patriotism, my father absolutely yearns to sacrifice his life for the country, rather than endure humiliation.
It was these three obstacles that became the biggest reason for Wu's reluctance to go to war with Einke.
For this reason, Wu is not willing to go to war at will, even if Smokal can become a vassal state of the Kingdom of Einck, the main purpose at present is to proclaim Smokal's name on the Staphen Plains, under the protection of Aynk's national prestige to prevent the invasion of many small countries, and at the same time to be vigilant against the same lurking enemies as Stexis.
"But let's be honest, although you've met with Decente as 'Fortes,' you can't be sure what Decente thinks of you, right? Can you be sure he doesn't recognize you for who you really are? β
"To be honest, I'm not sure, but what I do know for sure is that if my father found out that I was gluttonous, he wouldn't have let me go. Whether or not he recognized me as 'Wu' is debatable. β
"Then if Discent finds out that you are 'Wu' himself, how do you think he will react?"
"Well...... I don't know. β
Wu replied weakly. As the son of Disent, he didn't know his personality and thoughts, because he never planned to take the initiative to meet his father.
As soon as the conversation changed, Wu stopped the topic just now and moved on to another topic.
"Speaking of which, it's time for me to talk to you about some of the new policies I had in mind when I was in Eliel."
"Listen up."
"During this period of teaching, I learned a lot of useful magical information and practical educational resources from St. Gothrie, and I also took the opportunity to delve into the teaching system of St. GothΓ©. Originally, I didn't plan to do this so early, but now that I have the foundation and the idea, I think the time is ripe. β
"You mean ......?"
Wu smiled softly and said affirmatively:
"That's right, I'm going to build a wizarding academy in Smokal."
What a shocking proposition. Darcis's cigarette tube was relieved in disbelief, a little dazed, a little stunned, but also a little expectant.
On the Staphine Plains, every country has a discriminatory look at the "subspecies". Of course, this includes the liberal kingdom of Aynke.
Although Discent has revised a large number of evil laws that are unfavorable to the subspecies, he still can't change the minds of those high-ranking officials for such evil cultivation. Because of this, subspecies like Darcy do not have the opportunity to enjoy the resources that humans are entitled to. The most obvious example of this is "education".
Wu also realized with his own eyes that there is no half-race in the St. Goethe's Magic Academy, and he also realized that there is serious racial discrimination in this world.
This is something that Wu will never allow.
He pulled one out of the pile of scrolls beside him, opened it and handed it to Dacis.
Darcis's brow furrowed as he looked at the contents of the scroll, his eyes becoming more and more focused.
Wu smiled slightly and asked proudly:
"How? This is the allocation and plan of educational resources that I let Yege sort out every night. Through the principle of the intercommunication of minds between the splinters, the splinter in Smokal was organized and stored in my room. β
Darcis, whose eyes were filled with curiosity, watched intently.
"That's amazing, so it shouldn't be a problem to set up an academy in Smokal. It's just ......"
"Who's going to be the teacher, isn't it?"
"Yes, counting the original clansmen of the three tribes, the humans of the poor families, and the members of the Haite Thieves Bandits, if you want everyone to receive a proper education, I am afraid that it will take nearly ten mentors, so where can you find them?"
"Rest assured, I'll be ready to implement this plan in a few days, and of course the solution has already been conceived."
"Yes."
Looking at Wu's confident eyes, Darcy didn't say much, and nodded compromisedly.
Darcy tucked the scroll away and tucked it into his loose cuffs, and Wu suddenly remembered something.
He looked at Darcis, and said in a tone of novelty:
"By the way, I have something I want to show you."
"Oh? What is it? β
At this time, Wu looked around the room, as if looking for something. However, there didn't seem to be any of the objects he had in mind in the room, and his eyes suddenly became dazed and suspicious.
"What's wrong? What are you looking for? β
"Scythe...... Have you seen the scythe? β
"Scythe? No, I haven't seen anything like a scythe since I first entered the room. β
"How could it be ......?"
There was a faint surprise on Wu's face, but he was shocked in his heart.
- The scythe he brought back from Eliel was gone in an instant!
At the same time, a cold light rain was falling in the sky of Smokal.
The weather was uncommon for the humid Smokal. And the humans who live here for a month are beginning to accept this climate.
On the territory of the original snake people, rows of wooden houses were built on the ground in an orderly manner separated by a gap of one meter.
The wooden house is not very large, but the crimson cypress wood is not only sturdy but also has the beauty of the field, the workmanship is a little rudimentary, but it is neatly divided, and the construction is quite well designed, and if you don't care about the level of detail, its durability is certainly better than that of many big city buildings.
In the row of houses, there is one of these wooden houses where the laughter of a little girl is constantly heard.
In the single-story wooden house, it is all basic and new furniture.
The carpet made of the leather of the demon wolf is cut, the red brick stove is exceptionally warm, and the soft sofa and bed are made of low-level monsters, the black feather goose, which is definitely better than high-end down in terms of softness and comfort.
The design of the house is very simple, the living room is next to the kitchen on the right side, and the sleeping bunk is on the left, and there are no walls in the whole room, although there is no basic privacy, but there is no complaint.
Considering that these poor people used to live in filthy alleys, using garbage heaps as beds, using dirty water from gutters, and eating kitchen waste dumped on the roadside, there is naturally nothing to complain about compared to this kind of life.
If the villagers want to cleanse themselves, they go to the open-air bathhouse, which is also known as the "hot spring" that has only recently been excavated.
The idea was proposed by Darcis, who eventually completed the construction of Longensmu. According to Darcis, it is said that the "hot spring" is the favorite bathroom equipment of the Celestial Snake Taizu, who calmly faces his comrades and bathes in a warm and comfortable hot spring, which helps to promote the relationship between the clansmen and soothes the fatigue of the day.
However, since Darcis's generation, the design concept and method of hot springs have gradually declined, and eventually the customs of hot springs have been lost.
Fortunately, when Wu was still a prince, the Oriental people who had traveled as far as the Kingdom of Ainke also knew how to design the hot springs, and as one of the offerings to the alliance with Ainke, that is, the concept of the hot springs. Relying on Wu's only remaining memories and the help of some of the Heavenly Snake Clan, he finally pieced together a rough map of the establishment of the hot spring.
At present, there is an open-air hot spring in each of the original three ethnic groups, with bamboo partitions as a division between men and women, and the hot spring uses the spring water from the deep underground to integrate into the spring water with just the right amount of fire element, and the comfort it brings has been praised by the villagers.
The soft candlelight filled the room full of girls' laughter, and the damp rain brought the darkness into the room through the small window, while the hot and bright red candle flame resisted hard.
