Chapter 421: Control

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Well, it's been another week, so I'm asking everyone for some tickets to play tricks, and I'm so unhappy to be chased by the newcomers behind me recently......

――

Looking at the mercenaries' faces full of enthusiasm and adoration, and the fear on the face of the mercenary, Edward couldn't help but sigh and fell silent. (None.) , pop-ups

This Isgandar's power is even stronger than he imagined.

Regardless of the ability to enter the spirit realm or the etheric realm, these seeds clearly possess a power, a way to cognitively change one's mind, and to the psychic mancer, it is more technically the power that penetrates into the soul plane. It is equivalent to a long-term effect of the charm hint that has been planted into this seed, which means the owner of the source of power, that is, the controller.

In Edward's opinion, this is probably far more terrifying than stealth, wall penetration, etc.

In my memory, those invincible armies recorded in the history books, what such an army, a certain general, or a regiment such as Mamluk, Sparta, Janissary, etc., can go down in history, what do they rely on?

The generals are geniuses, the soldiers are life-wise, the military discipline is strict, and the training is well-trained...... Edward wasn't a military strategist, so that's all he knew...... However, in Edward's memory, the most profound thing about the army is not the testimonials of those famous generals, but the most common sentence in the army: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders." ”

In fact, the core requirement of this sentence is the absolute execution of orders.

Without this one, all bravery, training, and command skills are all false.

The truth in the world is always something strange, although it is only a sentence, but it is absolutely difficult to achieve it...... How much time and how much does it take to establish a high prestige among the army or the people? Caring for the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation of the people and soldiers, and solving the problems they encounter. They often had to live with their soldiers, eat the same food, and charge ahead in small battle formations to establish an image...... Throughout the ages, famous generals and emperors have exhausted all kinds of means, and the final goal is only for when necessary. Every order will be executed without compromise or at any cost.

But now. Edward didn't have to do any of these things, he just had to scatter the seed casually, and he had a loyal following. And what did he pay for it? No, nothing! And the most terrifying thing was that there seemed to be no upper limit to this kind of control, and after the twenty or so seeds were spilled, Edward felt that his spirit seemed to be more extraordinarily energetic.

It's almost comparable. Even the psychic control of the spirit sucking monster - at least whether it is charm or domination, it has a so-called time limit.

Of course, there are a little bit of limitations.

In the next hourglass, he made some more attempts, and what he got was very simple - there were almost no rules, just for those who were deeply faithful, such as the priests. This ability doesn't seem to work, and it doesn't seem to work even for mages...... As for ordinary mercenaries, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. The only downside is that none of these mercenaries can use the power to enter the ether realm for a long time, and at most they can last less than a minute. And it will consume the body lì a lot.

Insignificant, isn't it?

"That's one of the powers that His Majesty Iskandar possesses, isn't it?

"You want it too?" Edward turned his gaze to a slight pause on the female staff member who had just walked through the door. Suddenly laughed.

For this pun with some disgusting insults, the female staff member just snorted coldly. She didn't answer, but the small action of biting Sakura's lip slightly revealed the thoughts in her heart.

Walk through walls at will, immune to entity attacks, and possibly even have no effect on such enemies...... With this power, it is naturally a piece of cake to pick the lock of the sliding door, but as long as you think about it a little, you will find a more appropriate way to use it, in fact, there is nothing more than assassination. A dagger that came out of the void without a sound could bypass most of the defenses, so how many people would be able to defend it without knowing it?

In fact, in some dark legends of the Empire, the Shadow Guard has always been a forbidden being, and in the early days of Isgandar's rise, the most vicious curse against a nobleman in those rival nations was not "Let the devil take your soul", but "The Shadow Guard appears behind you!".

This kind of strength, of course, is admirable, especially for the weak who have difficulty crossing the goal.

"If you want, ask me. The Psychic Warlock continued 'magnanimously', and a glittering green light swam around his fingertips, causing Anna Sue's beautiful blue-gray eyes to turn lightly until her pale cheeks flushed with annoyance, and she tried not to turn her head away!

That would have been the great legacy of the Emperor, you shameless bandit!

Secretly grasping the corner of the skirt decorated by the maid on her body, the aristocratic girl gritted her teeth for a moment and roared angrily in her heart.

This anger comes from jealousy, jealousy of the damn little bastard in front of him, the unimaginable good fortune, for the power left behind by the great emperor Isgandar, who claims to be able to rule the world, his party has traveled almost half of the empire, it took three years, and tens of thousands of wealth, but this guy broke in in ignorance at the last moment, and for some reason plundered half of that power, so that all these efforts turned into regret!

Not only that, but this power should have been transmitted only in the blood of the Empire, but in the odious creature in front of him, there was not the slightest trace of the characteristics of the Empire? Even though his color had now turned from tan to gray, his dull and yellow complexion was the most characteristic characteristic of the Cocker people, these savage herdsman bloodlines that could only roam the mountains in the middle of the road, rich in clumsy liars, hairy thieves, stupid robbers. They have always been vile and savage!

It's a pity that no matter how many times you curse in your heart, you can't change the fact in front of you - the brilliant, powerful, wise and wise emperor in the epic obviously didn't watch out for this clumsy thief in front of him......

Or is it like the blasphemous words that dark philosophers often make...... The truth is a clumsy joke, a stroke of luck and misfortune, a lie woven by the twin goddesses of fate - and Anna Sui is almost certain that this guy in front of her is the reality of this curse......

Of course, a curse without strength was nothing more than the groans of the weak, so the girl shook her head. Forcing myself to stop thinking about things that are irretrievable, just sneering.

"Are you scared?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"Let's say, I'm going to use this power to pierce your heart. ”

"Yes, I've learned not to follow the footsteps of others. So when you're arguing. You can take advantage of a lot of advantages, but it's best not to use this kind of trick when you want to ask for it. ”

Look at her and frown. Deliberately pretending to be fierce, Edward couldn't help but chuckle, Miss Staff had obviously received the most perfect aristocratic education, with a smile and gestures. is full of aristocratic lady's atmosphere, even if she is wearing a maid's outfit now, she still can't hide that nobility, and such a girl, it is naturally a little more difficult to pretend to be vicious, especially her.

The delicate facial features are not often used to express his emotions, and now even if they are reluctantly invoked, they will only make her look full of ...... Well, it's just a tired look.

All right. Let the girl with no expression stare at herself menacingly, this can be regarded as a kind of cuteness...... So Edward didn't intend to give her that terrible power.

For these mercenaries in front of him, he didn't mind...... Or maybe it's because, with or without such power, mercenaries are nothing more than mercenaries. They lived in the city of Burgundy, where they grew old, and the final settlement was fixed to be his acceptance, faithful or not. None of their fates will change much, but she is different.

When she couldn't resist the change brought about by this power. She's not her anymore.

There was no hope of success, and Anna Sui had no other way, so she was silent for a while, and then she changed the subject: "One hour ago, His Royal Highness the prince sent a message summoning you to the city for an audience. In the name of His Majesty the King, of course. ”

Edward frowned.

Speaking of James, that guy is now being used as a tool by that Thomas, but his identity is special, although that old guy is dangerous, he still invests a lot in him, obviously he may need this fake prince, so Edward will not worry about this friend's life for a while.

Of course, even he himself seems to enjoy that kind of environment, but after all, he is a close friend since childhood, so Edward still has a means to communicate with him. So far, Edward has only contacted him unilaterally. That Thomas's plan seemed rather complicated, and it was obviously impossible to tolerate a little special relationship with his important pawn.

"Did he say anything?"

"I don't know...... Probably the evil talisman.,The impact on spells such as communication.,It's said that in the recent past.,All communication contacts have adopted a relatively brief mode.,But I've carefully identified it.,The flower he left at the end.,There's no problem.,And the meeting time,It's also chosen at noon.,And you're not the only one who was invited.。 ”

"It seems that I have to compliment you, Miss Anna Sui, for your excellent qualifications and attention to detail. Edward nodded and smiled.

"I, I'm not doing it for you, this is the least of a nobleman!"

The menacing staff lady turned to leave, and Edward's brow furrowed again, and he waved the mercenaries to stand down, and then began a small long test.

However, it is impossible to get too much information in a single summons...... Now, although his strength has increased to a certain extent, he is still quite far from that Thomas, and in fact, even if this matter can be concealed all the time, he is not willing to appear in the other party's field of vision at such a casual pace, which will only make that guy have a better understanding of his current strength, which is quite unfavorable for the things he plans in the future.

What's more, who knows if this meeting is a trap that Thomas has planned, and if he falls into the confines of his spatial magic item again, he will still be in an absolutely disadvantageous state...... has already suffered a loss, and if the other party does not find a way to block all the escape routes, then he can only be a fool.

But there are some things that are not the solution to just evading them......

After a moment of thought, the Psychic Mancer sighed softly. The tentacles of his thoughts stretched and writhed, and his figure disappeared in a distorted light and shadow.

The process from Burgundy to Romanty. There was no trouble, although what Katzejek said about some strange legend about the one named Pandorian seemed to be trueβ€”all the teleportation effects on the whole Big 6 seemed to have been affected quite a bit. Even Edward, the possessor of royal power, was not exempt from vulgarity - when the silver light of the astral plane faded from view. He noticed that the majestic city was only a palm-sized piece in his sight.

But this deviation, at least, is within an acceptable range.

Soon, therefore, a carriage with a somewhat old, obscure minor aristocratic emblem was quietly passing through the western gate of Romandy and winding down Fourth Street. Slowly approaching the center of the city.

Like all the nobles of Tuminis, the owner of the chariot, a baron, was evidently glad to be able to help a mage, and was even flattered by this casual encounter, and in the short course of his journey he quickly threw away his confinement, and from time to time he talked to the young mage about things that he thought he was proud of. Then in the latter's answer that there was no match, the spirit was a little high.

But when the destination is almost in sight, there is a small episode.

"I'm sorry, the royal knight captures the criminal, idler, please detour. "Two heavily armed knights and a group of soldiers blocked the crossing. Shouting loudly, let the young in the carriage

As for the nobles who served in Romandy, they had much worse than them. In fact, these people also owned a territory in name - the kind that was really nominal, because it was in addition to the property of a few special people. All of them were concentrated in the western part of the empire, in that barren land. And as a close vassal of the empire. They would probably never see the land for the rest of their lives, and they would only receive a tax on time each year - a fraction of what they earned in Romanty.

Oh, it's not necessary to say that they will never meet, some unlucky people who have sadly committed some huge, but irreparable mistakes, still have a certain chance to die in that land, just like old James, nominally returning to the territory to operate, but in fact it is equivalent to being removed from the circle of the capital. can only spend the rest of his life in the wild countryside, and after death, he will cut off a layer of titles, and the territory will be halved.

But in fact, staying in the royal capital does not necessarily mean how good life is, and the salary of His Majesty the king has always lagged behind the times...... Obviously, it is impossible for a family to enjoy life in Romante with dozens or hundreds of gold coins per month, so the nobles can only face two choices, either to develop a habit of hardship, refuse any entertainment and pomp, live frugally, and serve His Majesty wholeheartedly, or they can only open up other sources of wealth and find ways to fill their bellies from various businesses.

Obviously, you should have the same accurate answer as me about which one you should choose.

Therefore, behind the most elegant and splendid nobles, there will always be the most shady business hidden behind them...... The plundering and buying and selling markets of slaves, the black market that completes the theft, speculation, auctions, and handover of art buying and selling, the fleets of smuggling and privateering along the coast and even overseas, and even ...... The Dark Dagger is the culmination of a variety of business combinations.

"You're making a fuss like this, aren't you?"

"What's the matter, anyway, the headache is solved by that guy for me, money is a thing, everyone likes it, even if I make it ruthless, he will benefit in the end, not to mention, I have already learned a little before, this den, is covered by the old guy of Sanchez, and now that guy is preparing for war, this conservative general, His Excellency, is naturally the target he must get rid of, even if he provokes him, it's not a big deal,"

Oh, by the way, you probably don't know, Sanchez is the Minister of War and is in charge of all military deployments, but this guy is also an old stubborn guy who thinks about any military action, old fellow...... Well, His Majesty the King was quite new to him before, so he was quite dissatisfied with the recent Rudolph taking charge of the army, and he also made a lot of trouble in terms of logistics and the transfer of troops, I guess,

The national mage seems to have been caught by that guy, of course, it is indispensable to get the military power in his hands, in fact, with his ability, if it weren't for the suspicion, I'm afraid this kind of opposition would have been there a long time ago

The national mage seems to have been caught by that guy, of course, it is indispensable to get the military power in his hands, in fact, with his ability, if it is not to avoid suspicion, I am afraid that this kind of opposition has long been unfinished.
