Isabel looked at Ivus suspiciously. And Ivus smiled and explained, "Because Star Antimony is in a strong civil strife at the moment. If something goes wrong with Avalon at this time, they start a war against Avalon and win, which is a very good way to alleviate domestic conflicts. ”

"Why?"

Isabel asked inquiringly: "Generally speaking, isn't it impossible to start a war when there is civil strife?" Why can't we just announce that Meg has been rejuvenated to stop them from starting a war? ”

If it had been before, she would have known that the result would not have been, and she would not dare to ask again.

But now she is also trying to explore the principles behind it - not by the explanation of the "teacher" or the "staff", but by trying to think on her own.

And Queen Sophia also looked at it with interest. Lycia sat directly on the queen's lap sideways, and her heroic right hand directly grabbed the queen's shoulder, and looked back. The tail behind him snapped and wagged, rhythmically flapping the legs of the stool.

They were also apparently curious about the answer given by Ewass. But it's closer to an assessment and test than an Isabel inquiry.

Ivus understood their intentions, sat up straight, and replied seriously, "Because the core problem with Star Antimony is that they are expanding too quickly.

"The Kingdom of Star Antimony, the Kingdom of Iris, the Duchy of Narcissus, and the Duchy of Black Eagle were formed by the split of the Hellasr Empire. Even the Knights of the Round Table of the Avalonian Nation used to be from the Herasr Empire...... This is the reason for the linguistic approximation.

"But the division of the empire was hundreds of years ago. The fact that they would split at that time shows that they have irreparable contradictions. And to reunite when the contradiction itself has not been resolved is untenable.

"Especially the Principality of Narcissus, which is the realm of mages...... They have only been swallowed for less than thirty years, and not even a generation has passed. They were the forces most likely to threaten the Star Antimony, and they were defeated and occupied by the former Black Eagle Principality with Star Antimony by sneak attacks and other means, and they must not be convinced. ”

Even at the end of the Avalon War, the Principality of Narcissus never sent troops.

The colossias and gargoyles are the products of the Starty Masters, and the elite soldiers are from Black Hawk - and the Narcissus Territory is in a semi-rebellious state.

On the one hand, it is because this generation of governors who govern the Duchy of Narcissus is a man of great ambition and excellent military and political talent, and the mages also support him; On the other hand, those mages are inherently war-averse.

"Star Antimony is too far away from Narcissus, with a whole Black Hawk in between, making it difficult for them to reach and dominate. Recently, the Iris people have also supported several rebel restoration forces in Black Hawk...... In the case of successive rebellions between Narcissus and Black Hawk, both suppression and pacification required significant expenditures. The expansion dividend has been eaten, and now it is starting to lose money.

"Coupled with the interior of the Star Antimony, as the necromancers gradually withdrew from the center of power, they went to the Principality of Black Eagle and the Principality of Narcissus in large numbers...... The partisan rivalry between alchemists and demon scholars has lost its buffer and has become increasingly fierce and unbalanced. Whichever side the royal family is on, it will lead to discontent on the other side.

"And economic pressures will lead to a reduction in military spending. Star Antimony chose to pass on this expenditure to the Duchy of Black Hawk to appease the alchemists and demon scholars, who were the most affected by disarmament. ”

Ivas explained earnestly.

This is also the reason why in the Avalon Destruction War, Starty will choose to let the high-end combat power be bulldozed in waves, instead of relying on the elite troops to pull it repeatedly as usual.

"In this situation, they urgently need a new war - a hearty victory to ease the domestic contradictions."

“…… But according to you," Isabel wondered, "isn't their problem because they occupy too much land?" So why do they continue to wage war? ”

"Of course they know, that's why there has been peace for decades. That's why Avalon and Iris survived...... But they can't stop. ”

Ivus shook his head and replied simply, "If the Principality of Narcissus is willing to submit, with the help of those clever mages, it is possible for them to recover...... But only the Principality of Narcissus was not subdued by them. ”

Because they can't be convinced. If they really open the front and fight slowly, they may not be able to beat the Principality of Narcissus.

“…… In other words, although Star Antimony looks strong and seems invincible, it is actually very fragile? ”

Isabel suddenly realized: "So Miss Lygia wants to let the opposite side attack and fail, so that the rebellion within them will be stronger?" They won't be able to take care of us then? ”

"Hmm...... Pretty much. ”

Ai Huasi smiled helplessly: "If we don't show weakness, I'm afraid they will continue to test our bottom line." And the temptation itself can hurt us...... It's better to call them and surprise them again.

"After all, they are coming, but they have to cross the sea. That's natural protection. ”

Without the Trade Minister, it would be difficult for the Star Antimony to smuggle army troops over. And in terms of naval strength alone, Avalon is undoubtedly much better than Star Antimony.

- After all, if you put a few griffons on board, then rounding up is equivalent to an aircraft carrier. At sea, the threat of storm capabilities is greater than on land.

The Dragon's Blood Law is also basically invincible in terms of purging miscellaneous things...... As long as the energy level is suppressed, it is basically impossible to exempt it.

Originally, Meg was very afraid of the aging curse of the Dusk Path, but now she didn't even have this shortcoming.

It can be said that today's Miss Ligia can protect a country by herself. As long as she shows her strength, Avalon is basically safe...... At least to be able to get the respect of star antimony and irises.

That way, Ivus wouldn't be tied up here. He can also go to other places to explore and get equipment, and he doesn't have to worry about running out of his home when he turns around.

If they don't, Iris and Star Antimony will always be skeptical—is Lygia really as strong as Meg? She's not just a façade, is she?

It's honest to be punched by a solid punch.

From that point of view......

By the time Ivus helped Meg transform into "Lygia", history had been completely changed.

"You're not done yet, are you?"

Lygia said with a smile on her face, "Why don't you say it all?"

"There's another reason...... You're trying to kill the dishonest guys, right? ”

…… Your old man actually saw it?

Ivus glanced at Lygia in some surprise, noncommittal.

And Isabel was taken aback: "Huh? Who is Ivus going to kill? ”

"Those rotten knights."

"War is a good excuse," said Ewass, "...... Send the knights who have never experienced war to the battlefield, expose their weakness and timidity, and let the old men share their experience with the young; It is also an experience that will give the immature young people the blood, the steel tempered in the fire and the rust removed, and they will be our new pillars. In this way, Avalon, which is as rotten as dead wood, can be reborn in blood and fire. ”

“…… Oh! ”

Isabel's eyes lit up.

"Simply put," translated with a smile on Lygia, "find an excuse for the disobedient old men and the waste to be sent to the battlefield to be killed; Give some merits to the young people who are reliable and still saved, and promote them. In this way, the current round table hall is violently shuffled and replaced with people who are willing to obey your orders. ”

“…… It may seem like a meaning, but it sounds so bad. ”

Isabel muttered.

Her Majesty the Queen on the side was very happy.

She clapped her hands again and again, with a rare smile on her face.

"It's going to be a little worse, little Isa. Are you still tender...... Learn more from Ivas. Look at how people do it. ”

Lygia curled up in the Queen's arms and giggled, "I have time anyway...... I'll take the time to teach you how to become bad. ”

“…… Ivus will be fine, right? ”

Isabel glanced at Ivas, somewhat reluctant: "I just need to be really good to them." ”

"It's not impossible."

Ivas clasped his hands to his chest and nodded in agreement.

Isn't it just singing white face? He's good at that.

It's nothing more than the difference between dismissal from the company and dismissal from the biosphere......

Lycia smacked her lips.

She could see that Isabel was worried that she had gone bad, that her relationship with her friends, perhaps Ewas, had deteriorated.

It's not entirely impossible. Today's Sophia is completely different from the energetic girl she just met. Their friendship has lasted until now, and it is also the result of continuous compromise between the two sides.

"In that case, Iwas."

Queen Sophia opened her mouth and invited, "Do you want to try to join the round table first?" ”

“…… As a knight? ”

Ivus asked rhetorically.

The implication is whether he must inherit the Moriarty family.

The Moriarty family is very special in that it has no side branches. If he inherits the Moriarty family, it means that both Edward and Yulia will be stripped out of the family and lose their surnames.

Although he didn't know Yulia and Edward's attitudes, Ivus was still reluctant to do such a thing.

"If you don't want to, you can do it as a minister."

As if she was joking, Sophia chuckled, "What do you think, regardless of the minister?" ”

Eivas gasped.

Isabel's eyes widened.

Even the wicked smile on Lycia's face froze.

"Regardless of the minister", although the name may sound witty...... But to say "no matter" is actually "to care about everything". They are not in charge of any part of the affairs of the department, but they can meddle in the affairs of any department when necessary, according to the decision of the queen or the resolution of the round table.

Most importantly, their status is equivalent to that of ministers and ministers in various departments. In other words, other ministers cannot govern or command him.

This is undoubtedly the "important minister of the country".

It can even be said that it is a close confidant of the queen and the highest-ranking envoy of the royal family.

Because there is no real "ministry", the position of the minister can be vacant. Since Queen Sophia's succession, even her prince has never held this position.

“…… I haven't graduated yet, Your Majesty? ”

Even Ivas hesitated.

It's not that he's flattered, or that he doesn't think he's up to the task. He had no doubt that he could do better than the vast majority of Avalon's ministers.

I'm just thinking - if I really succeed to this position, will it be inconvenient to travel?

The procedure for the minister to leave the island of glass is certainly different from that of ordinary people. Not to mention going abroad...... That's basically the specification of an "envoy".

And Queen Sophia easily understood Aihuas's thoughts.

She comforted: "Don't worry, it won't delay your ...... Because you are the Minister of Care. Anything you do can be said to be behind my special mission, including hiding your identity. And you won't have a job on a regular basis...... Well, I can transfer 'Miss Alestal' to your command.

"On the Noble Red side, I've decided to send an army to exterminate it. I'll let George go back to the army in a moment, and the next thing to do is the regular army, and you don't have to worry about safety - in terms of personal safety, Lygia can protect you too.

"You can study with peace of mind this week and prepare for the advanced ceremony with Isabel. There will be no more surprises, I'll help you with the rest of the process...... By the time the next semester begins, you'll be a minister. ”

The old queen said, winking mischievously at Evas, "How about going to school as a minister behind your back—will it make you feel happy?" ”

"Indeed."

Ivus nodded honestly.

I have to say, it's a bit cool.

Update complete! The long-lost twelve-point double watch!

Yesterday, I slept intermittently for more than ten hours, and I didn't go to hang up water considering that hanging water might reduce my immunity. Today, the rhinitis is still very serious, and there is more nasal discharge and phlegm...... But at least the headache doesn't hurt, then you can work and get ......
