The roar stopped, only the stars twinkled, and then the wind and waves were calm, and there was no word for the night.

He had slept so late, and when Allegri woke up, it was nearly noon. Outside the window, the sky was overcast, the raindrops were crumbling, and the starry scene of last night seemed to be just a distant dream. At this time, thinking about it, that scene is too mysterious, the boundary between fiction and reality has been blurred, and even makes people doubt their memory.

But Allegri knows that a qiē is true. The earth-shattering roar and the starry dome filled with clear light may be regarded as a rare miracle by ordinary people, but he understands that it is magic, mysterious and powerful magic. It turned out that in addition to Master Haji, there was also a more superior master of magic in the Snowton Empire.

And in this turbulent and turbulent era, it is really unimaginable that such a strong man will exert such a huge destructive power.

Could it be that with the blessing of Heaven, Snowton will definitely dominate the continent?

Allegri could not answer this question. He was stunned for a long time before shaking his head and waving away his troublesome thoughts, and walked out of his bedroom with a magic robe on his glove.

Colin, who was slightly chubby, immediately greeted him, and looking at his appearance, he had obviously been waiting outside the porch for a long time, and it was only because Allegri slept soundly that he did not knock on the door.

"What's going on?" Allegri asked, pausing to ask. Judging from his face, it shouldn't be such a matter of urgency, but why did he look a little puzzled.

"There are two things, my lord," Colin stepped forward and raised the scroll in his hand, "This is a document sent by the Imperial Decree General Guò Ministry of Foreign Affairs early this morning, and they sincerely apologize for Viscount Davide's unprovoked provocation. And hopefully this will not have a negative impact on the established agreement between the parties, while conveying the penalty order signed by the king......"

"How is it punished?" Allegri asked with a calm expression as he reached out to take it. The wound medicine he used was specially blended with the best color, and overnight, the bruises and redness on his face were greatly relieved. But his bad feelings for Davide have long been buried deep in his heart and are difficult to alleviate.

"Fines, groundings," Colin summed up succinctly, "in short, they're trivial tricks. ”

"It's not a big deal, where can you go strictly," Allegri waved his hand. It seems that he doesn't mind this at all, "The punishment order was issued so quickly, it is enough to prove that the king still attaches importance to it." ”

"That being said," Colin replied in a low voice, as he looked around and saw no one around, "but from what I know. The Empire's attitude towards the River Valley seems to be more than just goodwill. The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have made a probing from the side......"

"Oh, what do they say?" Allegri asked softly, staring at him.

They seemed to casually mention that once the southern expedition began, the river valley would definitely become a thorn in the side of the Holy See of Light. A large number of strong men will definitely be sent to carry out sabotage and even assassination," Colin repeated word for word, "and they told me that the Empire was very concerned about it. A detailed precautionary plan was also drawn up, and we were asked if we would be willing to accept the Empire's arrangement. ”

"You...... And how did you reply?" Allegri stood under the pillars with his hands in his hands, and looked at the magnolia tree in front of the court, which bloomed in March and now withered, except for the green branches and green leaves.

"The subordinates have temporarily shirked this on the grounds that this matter still needs to be decided by you personally," Colin scratched his head and sighed in distress, "but they will never give up on this, if the empire oppresses people, I'm afraid we will ......"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to last long, sooner or later, we will have to let the valley out obediently?" Seeing that he hesitated, Allegri smiled and took the initiative to add.

Colin bowed his head, silent. He was one of the first refugees to come to the valley, and over the years, he has developed a strong sense of belonging as he has watched the valley grow and grow. Now, he has made his home here and has a piece of land of his own. This is a property that he could never bear to give up, who was still displaced a few years ago.

"Reluctant?" Allegri asked in a harmonious voice, looking sideways at him, "Colin, you are also an old man in the valley, I ask you a question, you must not hide it... If you were given a more fertile piece of land to move to in a safer place, such as the plains near the Holy Blood River, would you still be willing to stay in the treacherous valley?"

"No......" Colin was stunned for a moment, raised his head in confusion, met his inquiring gaze, thought for a moment, and then shook his head hesitantly.

"Yes, most of the people in the valley probably won't refuse. Allegri seemed to have anticipated this, and sighed softly.

"No, my lord," Colin added, as if in response, with some hastiness, "I mean, I'm not leaving the valley. ”

"Why?" this time, it was Allegri's turn to be puzzled. To be honest, after going through these twists and turns, he has already given birth to the idea of giving up.

"Before I came to the valley, I was a native of Anlan," Colin's round face was full of solemnity, "Staying in the valley is still a homeland, if you migrate to the Snowton Empire, it will really be a tree without roots." ”

"What about the others? what do the others think?" Allegri became serious, and before that, he had not directly asked his subordinates what they thought of governing the people. Because of a very simple truth, these refugees are originally dependent on themselves for a comfortable life, and if there are more favorable conditions, they will naturally obey more enthusiastically.

"My lord, as far as I know, there are no Snowtons among the refugees," Colin replied in a deep voice, "and all but a few magic apprentices in the valley are now from all countries south of the Cast Iron Mountains......"

"I know. Allegri nodded, he had André's count, more detailed and rigorous counts. Of all the rulers of the valley, the number of people from Snowton was twenty-six.

"In the past nearly a thousand years, whether they have taken the initiative or been held hostage by the Holy See of Light, the vast majority of the countries and leaders of the South have been thrown into the tragic Civil War," Colin said in a low voice, "Most of us refugees have been displaced by the conflict in recent years, but only five years ago, the North and the South were still fighting endlessly, and almost everyone had lost their loved ones at the hands of the Snowtons......"

"If we do move to Snowton, we may be able to bear it," Collinn paused and continued, "but what about the Snowdons around? They also have relatives who died at the hands of the Southern Alliance!"

"This ......" Allegri suddenly realized that he had neglected a problem, it turned out that there are such profound national contradictions in this world. (To be continued......)
