301 Talking in the woods
Leaning on the clear spring between the rocks, holding the ancient trees in his hand, in such a sunny morning, looking down at the entire river valley under his feet, but also has a unique flavor.
"I really want to thank you and Illo for finally allowing this body to settle down," Dios's expression had completely calmed down, but there was still a hint of anger in his words, "You should also have a very difficult journey along the way, right?"
"It's up to you whether it's hard or not," Allegri laughed, "but we've made it back to the valley and Iro's rise to the top on this journey, so it's worth it." ”
"yes, congratulations to him. "Last night, the people were noisy, and the emotions in Dios's heart were quite agitated, so he didn't know about it. And it seems that the half-elf's skin is not thick enough to take the initiative to run in front of him.
"However, I really didn't expect that," Allegri said softly, looking at the new Violet Tower under intense construction, "until last night you didn't know the news, and it was only one night later that you made such a decision quietly." ”
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Dios asked, turning his head around.
"In fact, in the necromancy system, there are also means to extract the soul and inject it into another body, although this kind of spell is very rare, it is not difficult to perform, not to mention, this body belongs to you in the first place," Allegri shrugged his shoulders and continued, "And, in most people's aesthetics, your original body is more beautiful. ”
"Perhaps. Dios shook his head noncommittally.
"What do you mean maybe, it's a certainty," Allegri said, raising his voice in defence, "I dare to pack the ticket, if you change your appearance." It's certainly not going to be as single-handed as it is now. ”
"You're so handsome, aren't you a bachelor?" Dios snorted casually, "Fifty steps and a hundred steps." ”
Allegri stuck out his tongue and smiled silently, the atmosphere finally not as dull as it had just been. For some things, even companions who know each other well. It's best not to interfere, he thought about it and brought up another topic,
"By the way, Dios, on the way back, I also took in a student. ”
"Oh?" said Dios, looking sideways for a moment, puzzled, "but I didn't see any new faces yesterday? Did you leave him in town?"
"Nope. Allegri shook his head and explained, "He has a cousin who makes a living in the Green River Valley, so he went to visit him before rushing to the valley. ”
"Listen to your tone, he doesn't seem to be very old?" Dios speculated, and then laughed, "Hey." You won't find another doll this time, just Afra. It's enough of a headache. ”
"Hmm, what is Afra doing?" Allegri scratched his head, because her parents and relatives were thousands of miles away, so Allegri had always doted on this little girl. Under the protection of him, Illo and others, as her strength grew, the little girl's ability to cause trouble became stronger and stronger.
"You better ask Brooke about this. He knows best what it is like," replied Dios, "but when Brother Mendel is in the valley, the little girl will be much more restrained. Unfortunately, as the leader of the caravans in the river valley, he spends most of his time outside. ”
"Don't worry, this will definitely not be the case this time," Allegri didn't see Mendel last night, Allegri knew that he must have led the caravan to set off again, and after glancing at Dios, he hurriedly packed his ticket and said, "This new student of mine, named Ados, is pure in nature, humble and polite, and will never have this kind of problem again." ”
"I'm more concerned about how old he is," Dios teased, "and I'm not ignorant, you like to take in some old and young women and children as students." ”
"I'm a student, only twenty-five or sixteen years old," this was a good opportunity to change his image, Allegri hurriedly boasted at him, "Now, he is already a fairly successful demon warrior, as I said earlier, he has a good nature, he is very handsome, and he is definitely a pillar of talent in the future." ”
"Let's hope so," Dios replied unconfidently, and after a moment's thought, he spoke again, "By the way, Anlan's situation has not been stable for a while, and Onesha's situation seems to be quite difficult. ”
"I've heard a few things on the way," Allegri nodded, his face becoming solemn, "I had planned to consult with you as soon as I got back, but it's quiet now, so you can tell me a little bit." ”
"Okay," Dios said as he picked up a piece of gravel and scratched it on the ground, "Since the withdrawal of the Holy See of Light, the aristocratic class of Anlan has united under the leadership of the three marquis masters, and you also know this. By the time you leave the valley, the contradictions between Onisha and the nobles have become irreconcilable, and the channels for peace talks or compromises have been completely blocked......"
"Yes," Allegri chimed in, "what the nobles want is to control the entire Duchy of Anlan, and even depose Ornessa, how can we agree with the character of our female archduchess?"
"Of course, Onessa will not agree," Dios continued, "but the royal family, which has been slaughtered by the Holy See, is not as powerful as before, and the power in her hands cannot suppress the ambitions of the great nobles at all. With the end of the offensive and defensive battle of Ranken, many forces in the south have become a mess, there is no external trouble, and the aristocratic group that has the upper hand is pressing step by step, and by now, Onisha has been struggling. ”
"But doesn't she have a large army in her hands, and among them is the elite of the 'Flame Demon Knights,'" Allegri asked, "and it is not a wise choice for the great nobles to want to fight her. ”
"According to the information I have obtained, most of the troops in Onesha's hands are stationed in various parts of the principality, and only the 'Fire Demon Knights' and a small number of Praetorian Guards in the Green River Valley are loyal to her," Dios added a few more paintings to the ground, "It is precisely because of the existence of these troops that the great nobles have thrown their hands on rats, and the situation in the Green River Valley has been stalemate until now." ”
"Will this stalemate continue for a long time?" Allegri is not sensitive to changes in the general situation of the militaristic state. On such issues, he often consults Dios.
"Surely not, as long as the great nobles continue to divide the army in Onisha's hands, and at the same time draw troops loyal to them to the Green River Valley, this balance of power will only be broken," Dios said in a deep voice, throwing aside the stones, "and when that time comes, it should be the time for them to launch it completely."
