61. The troubles of the Speaker

It was no longer known how many times he had flipped through the documents in his hand, but Skasa was still unable to swallow that sigh in his throat. The black and white letters, the dancing words, constantly stimulated his thinking, and it took a lot of effort for Skarsa to suppress the restless emotions in his heart.

"What a terrible temptation...... It's going to make people crazy, even me, can't I be immune?" Skarsa couldn't help but smile wryly—if it weren't for Aisha's stern warning to his face, Skarsa really couldn't have been sure that he would not be able to withstand this "temptation......

It's just too deadly.

At the level of a strong person like Skassar, ordinary things are no longer any problem, and the things they desire, let alone common sense, even if they are like land immortals in the eyes of ordinary people, most of them will not succeed if they do it themselves. However, there is such an opportunity right now.

"It seems that I have to take care of my temperament and cultivate my mind for a while, and I always feel that my heart is a little unbearable - the longer I live, the more deeply rooted many obsessions become, and Aisha, this girl, really gave me a problem......

Thinking of Aisha's attitude before, Skarsa could only do it. Of course, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for anyone with any power, but money also has to be spent with a life! Aisha has already made it clear that she wants to get involved, and if she doesn't know how to force in the fun...... Others think that Aisha is just a little girl, but Skasa knows the inside story. Although he is a legend among humans, if he wants to compare it to that kind of existence that is out of specification, it is also a part of being killed in seconds, right? If Aisha is really like the legend......

"Forget it. Don't leave anything to chance. It's been more than a thousand years, and this country is not short, if it really can't continue anymore, and it just passes away, I don't think that guy will blame me?...... Really, what was I thinking, that guy probably wouldn't care about this. At that time, he was still driven to the shelves before he became the emperor. ”

Skarsa looked at the words on the document and unconsciously thought of certain people and events from the past.

"A country that continues in this way will be called a demonic alien by him, right? Sure enough, it's better to just leave it at that. Ah, it's really nerve-wracking, the heart is for someone's country, and giving up is because of someone's likes and dislikes - the feeling of being tied to a person for a lifetime. It's not good...... Especially since it's still a man...... There aren't many traversers mixed up with me like this, right?"

Sure enough, he fought a bachelor for a lifetime. No matter how you think about it, it's all the fault of that faint soul? Look at the other traversers, which one is not ambitious? Not to mention opening the Crystal Palace, then at least there must be a happy family, right? Skarsa thought about it, obviously he was not a waste of firewood, when he was young, how can he say that he was also a promising young man, and when he reached middle age, he accumulated a lot of money, and became one of the most powerful people in the world. It's obviously a strong party...... But after the worst, he really beat the single!

Skarsa couldn't help but think - if those fellows were told about themselves, they would definitely think of themselves as, right? Don't you see that after your precious apprentice became a mother, I love her even more? Although it seems that she is hated at the least......

"Brother, you have mistaken my life...... I want to be a big traverser, after the crossing, I didn't become the boss, but I also gave you, the aborigine, the little brother, my own life is happy, so it's good to introduce me to a bridesmaid when I get married! In order to wipe your ass with this reckless guy, I can make a fortune by selling all the black cauldron on my back as scrap, and when no one knows the name of the notorious guy, I will also become an old man, and I will not be embarrassed to bother other other young girls anymore......

Scamsa looked up wistfully and looked at the yellowed photograph embedded in the wall.

"You've been dead for more than a thousand years, and you still won't let me go? Hmph, maybe who can't let go...... Hmm, who's it? Who's coming to bother me at this time......"

There was a sharp knock at the door, interrupting Skassa's thoughts, much to the displeasure of the Speaker. But he wasn't a grumpy man after all, and he didn't give the knocker a look.

"My lord, something happened again. The man who walked in was a middle-aged man with a shrewd and capable appearance, and his face was now filled with a hint of anxiety and helplessness, "Today, quite a number of councillors have expressed their dissatisfaction with your failure to attend parliament for several days in a row. Although these people can't afford to toss any storms, the impact is not very good after all......

"Let them go, just let them grow their confidence - half a bucket of water is clanging, only a guy who has no strength and foundation will be so powerful. ”

"But this situation will continue for a long time......"

The middle-aged man wanted to continue, but Skasa stretched out his hand and signaled that he didn't need to go on: "You have to make it clear, I'm just the speaker, not the emperor of the empire, they love to form gangs, and if they love intrigue, let them make trouble by themselves, as long as it doesn't hurt the foundation of the empire, it doesn't matter if they make trouble - what the people care about is whether they can eat and dress well, so they don't care about the rights and wrongs of the court; Politics that looks like a quagmire of sticky and smelly politics is also good for them. In any case, when it comes to making decisions, their power is only to vote for or abstain. ”

"Is it okay to say it directly?"

The middle-aged man asked in a cold sweat, but in exchange for Skassar's teasing gaze: "At this time, the person who should be worried about thinking about it is not me, it's you, right?"

“...... The subordinates understood. ”

He didn't think that the reason why the Speaker spoke to him so "cordially" was because of how good their relationship was, although Skarsa didn't say it directly, but he could feel the dissatisfaction buried beneath his casual appearance—the dissatisfaction of ordinary people. But that's it, and a person who is in a high position and can even dominate a country. If you are dissatisfied, you can definitely make it difficult for the people around them to sleep.

This is still the current speaker is not a hot-tempered and murderous person, but the moody kings of the past, at this time, the middle-aged man is probably about to kneel, right? But it seems that the speaker in front of him hates this set very much.

"Whatever those guys do, as long as they're still useful, as long as it's not too much. Let them be—but what happened to the Empire's border trade lately? Some time ago, our caravans were treated badly by the orcs. Until now, the other party has not given us a clear answer, I heard that because of this incident, the trade of our caravan in the orc side has fallen to a very embarrassing number. ”

In fact, Skarsa doesn't really care about the little bit of trade with the orcs. It's just that. For the orcs who are very strict in guarding against foreign races, the caravans of various trading houses are the largest source of information for the empire to obtain information about the orcs, and in many trading houses, there are long-term staff specially arranged by the "relevant departments". However, in order not to irritate those trading houses and make them think that the state has a desire to treat them, the people who are arranged to do it are all grassroots errand runners...... They could only follow the caravan's decision, after the major trading houses were jealous of the orc trade because of that matter. The empire's intelligence on the orcs also fell into a state of headlessness for a while.

That's why Skarsa is so interested in the orc trade. After all. The relationship between orcs and humans, although they have been separated a lot in the past few hundred years, has never been friends. And this time, something big is obviously going on on the orc side, and the empire, which can't receive information and intelligence, is also quite anxious about this.

What's more, now Skarsa still has a hot potato in his hand.

Although the territory of the orcs is not as small as that of humans, it is not small, and strictly speaking, the vast desert is indeed a mysterious place for humans to be no less mysterious than the elven forest. Skarsa didn't dare to say whether there would be any changes she cared about in this region where it was difficult for humans to reach out. What Aisha wants is the first information, if this is given to Aisha's outdated information, she will definitely be blinded, right?

"This ...... Still like that, the Orc Emperor has a very tough attitude towards this, and he does not intend to make any concessions. ”

"Well, as expected, that kid has never been a good bird, and I can smell the smell of ambition in him from afar...... Forget it, after a while, I'll go and communicate with the high priest of the orcs myself, he is still a person who can speak normally. Well, you tell the intelligence department to pay attention to the nearest point, and evacuate those who are not part of the caravan for the time being, so as not to be discovered at this time...... Anyway, at this time, it is also heavily guarded there, so don't make senseless sacrifices. ”

"Understood. ”

"Speaking of which, on the orc side, still haven't you gotten any useful information?"

"As always, it's as uncontrollable as the iron bucket, it really looks like something big is happening, and if it weren't for the normal movement of troops along the border, we would have thought the orcs wanted to start a war. After all, this is like a pre-war mobilization preparation, and with their 'traditions', people feel that there is nothing to be afraid of. However, I heard that there is a race called the Cat Clan, and in the previous incident, some of the people of the clan were treated unfairly diplomatically, and the relationship with the orcs has been very stiff recently......"

"Poof!"

Scamsa was pretending to drink hot tea when he heard the news and squirted out a mouthful of water.

"Cat...... Are you sure it's not a tiger people, but a cat people?"

"The people of the Ministry of Intelligence should not think of tiger people as cats, it is said that the race called the cat clan is not much different from humans in appearance, except that the ears and eyes are different from humans, and there is also a cat tail. What makes people feel strange is that the cat people, who are said to be diplomatic representatives, are just little girls......"

"Little girls, that's normal, they only have 'little girls'...... Not only the cat race, but also the other two hidden races. Aren't there any people from the fox and rabbit tribes this time?"

Skarsa knows very well that if anyone really underestimates these seemingly delicate and deceitful "weak women", they will definitely suffer enough. If you want to talk about the degree of "all people are soldiers", humans are definitely inferior to orcs. Orcs are definitely inferior to elves, and even elves, who are the darlings of the forest, have non-combatants. But the legendary Three Phantom Clan...... That's really all the soldiers. It's a clansman who can do it. Although the rabbit clan was a relatively weak shortcoming in the past, I heard that over the years, under the leadership of the patriarch of the rabbit clan, the rabbit clan has also risen, and even jumped up and became the backbone of the three clans.

The most important thing is that the patriarchs of these three races are all real old monsters - Skasa as a human who has lived for thousands of years. In human society, it is already an existence that needs to be looked up to, but in front of those few, he is still a junior.

Back in the day. When he first crossed over, he had received the kindness of one of them...... Although as a man, Skasa has also had a heart, but it's a pity. For Scasar at that time. The fox woman who helped him was as bright as the stars in the sky, so much so that he couldn't even raise the courage to confess.

Although even if he confesses, there will be no possibility of Dick Si counterattacking Bai Fumei...... Although Xizi is not like Yunyao and Lingxian, who are happy enemies, but as a fox woman who is a natural homosexual, Xizi wants her to be heterosexual under the influence of her two best friends, which is also quite difficult.

It's very simple. If there are two extremely good love partners, who will favor those who have and don't?

"Fox and ...... Rabbits?"

"Same with the cat people. They all look like humans in appearance, but differ in ears, eyes, and tails...... Girl. Although it is said that there are three races, in fact, these three races are one and do not distinguish each other. The opinion of the cat clan can be equated with the attitude of the rabbit clan and the fox clan. ”

"I don't think there's this......

"Really?" Hearing that the fox clan didn't appear, Skassa's face also slipped a little regret - but he thought about it, even if he said the unspoken thanks now, the other party would feel strange, right?

"But even they were involved this time......

Skasa always felt that this was anything but simple - the Three Phantoms had always lived a reclusive life, and their seclusion was rarely known to outsiders, but in fact, their race had a special mission. Not to mention anything else, the three patriarchs of the cat clan, the rabbit clan and the fox clan once counterattacked into the demon world, and I don't know how many demons were terrified, and even the demon king was cut down several times, which played a pivotal role in the seal of the most reluctant demon world. And after that, Skasa basically never heard of a record of the Three Phantom Clan's people walking the rivers and lakes. And this time, even let these thousand-year-old otaku girls take the lead...... The so-called abnormal demons, Skasa didn't believe it when they were killed, they were idle and bored and came out to brush up on their sense of existence.

"My lord, this cat clan...... Do you need to focus on it?"

The middle-aged man didn't think that this seemingly weak race had anything to care about, no matter how he looked at it, this was a weak race attached to the protection of the orcs, but why would the elder of the council care so much? Is it because this race is all beautiful women? If it were the previous emperor, there was really no problem in thinking so, however, the old man in front of him was a great mage who was thousands of years old and had never married a wife or had children.

"Hehe, if I tell you that when I was a poor young man with little ability, those three patriarchs were already the most powerful people in this world, do you think they need to be taken seriously? The reason why the sealing of the Demon Realm was so smooth back then, and the reason why the Demon King-level characters did not appear, was because of the merits of those three...... Every hand is stained with the blood of the demon king, how do you think that my half-level is stronger or weaker than them? Do you think that with such a powerful patriarch pressing the formation, how weak will their clan be?"

Skasa didn't say a word, and the middle-aged man's face turned a little blue - looking at the middle-aged man's shocking appearance, Skasa was also very happy in his heart, and the previous little depression was also swept away.

There's no way, although as a human being, this man can be regarded as an experienced old fritter, but in fact, looking at the entire world, he can still only be regarded as a "little hairy boy who has never seen the market". And what Skasa just said, no matter which way you understand it, is a little terrifying.

"I've heard that they're allies with orcs......"

"Don't worry about this, what is the relationship between us humans and orcs, even if it develops into a full-scale war, it has nothing to do with them, and you don't need to consider their position...... It should be said that they are the same as the elves, with duties and missions, and the clash of civilizations in the present world basically has nothing to do with them. The reason why he formed an alliance with the orcs on the surface may only be based on some reasons, right? But seriously, will a person who even a demon king dare to cut sell the orc's account?"

"Uh, it should be...... It won't be, will it?"

"So, instead of caring about their 'covenant' with the orcs, let's take some time and pay attention to what they might do. I have the impression that during the time when they are active, there are usually 'big things' happening...... Ah, what an eventful time lately......" (To be continued......
