Chapter 382: The Territory of Game of Thrones

There was a power outage in the house yesterday...... So, guess what, how much more do I have to give?

_

"Which two families are married?"

Miss Lisa on the side was stunned, but soon clapped her palms: "Ah, I want you to talk to that ...... What kind of guy is going to rob the marriage, isn't it?13-Lookੌo;A lot of words on the Internet"

"It's not like that barbarism, young lady. ”

The word made Willian pause slightly, for it was a tradition used only by civilians in the scattered areas of the northwestern frontier, and had always been regarded as barbaric by civilized people...... The young nobleman's descendant had an easy-going personality, but when it came to the woman, his expression suddenly became stern: "Miss Yulia's lifelong happiness can only be chosen by herself, and we can only come up with what we have, and the greatest sincerity, and that will be enough." ”

Edward gave Miss Lisa a reproachful look, but she merely stuck out her tongue and grimaced cutely.

"I'm sorry, Master Apprentice, but I have hidden it before, but my family is Ralphs...... Against my family's wishes, I secretly ran out to take the academy's exams. Smiling helplessly, the young noble mage apprentice no longer dwelled on this issue: "Therefore, as a punishment, the family gave me a task, which is to complete this marriage...... Oh, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a substantive engagement with Rytger, but as long as ThyssenKrup won't succeed, then that's enough. ”

The Psychic Warlock nodded, smiling silently.

For the aristocratic families of this plane, family marriages are all too common, and it is these blood connections that have forged the leafy surface of the aristocratic class, supporting a qiē root system - among these grand families, the so-called personal emotions are not worth mentioning, and all love, life and death, all have to make way for this union of practical interests.

It's just that although this little ghost is mature and steady, he is just a little ghost after all, and it is naturally impossible for a teenager to think about things...... In fact, although this ultimate goal is not too important, it should at least not be divulged so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"But you don't seem to be unsympathetic to her, do ......you? Hee-hee, that's pretty single-minded. ”

The topic did not end as expected—without any reflection on the gaffe just now, Miss Lisa almost immediately turned on her gossip soul - although this kind of drama was already too cliché for Edward, but in this plane, in this era, it was obviously enough to arouse the emotional resonance of most people.

Several people in the carriage paid a little attention, including Shalina, the half-elf who was half-forced to follow, and unconsciously moved her slender ears.

"I ...... I do not know. ”

The young nobleman's brows furrowed, and he turned his gaze to the only person who could ask for help: "You know, apprentice, nobles have always been rumored to have a laissez-faire attitude towards marriage, no, and emotions, but in fact, most nobles don't understand these feelings very well, at least, long after they become adults, they really understand what they want." So I ......"

"Only after experiencing a fierce love will one truly mature. That has nothing to do with being an adult or not. And you, or already. The Psychic Warlock smiled, clearing his mind and cheering him on.

"Really?"13 - Lookੌo; The Internet does not skip words.

The thoughtful words made the young man's eyes burst out with a little fire, but then dimmed in a wry smile, and with a sigh, his thoughts seemed to sink into some messy memories: "Alas...... I met her seven or eight years ago, and at that time, I was just a child, but she was already a little celebrity...... Well, actually, for her now, I am still a child, and the three-year gap is not impossible to make up, but at this time it is obviously impossible. From the very beginning, the second son of my family had no chance of being valued by an excellent woman like her...... Being able to watch her from afar, or for me, was enough. ”

"I said Willian, you are a rich second generation full of this kind of ** thoughts, is it really okay?" someone couldn't help but speak.

"What are you talking about? Lord Edward, I don't really understand......

"Well, I mean, you haven't tried yet, so you're already convinced you're going to fail?"

Edward sighed: "Strength or something...... Actually, that girl, it's not very good, it's just that she was born a little earlier than you, and girls have to mature earlier than boys, your ability as a mage, or not very good, but after a few years of study, at least you can have the power of a formal mage, if you are lucky, even if you have a real name, it is not impossible to have. The power of mages is well known, and such a future is not enough for you to use as capital to pursue a girl?"

"Your Excellency, Master Apprentice...... You're really ...... Sure enough, it's ambitious. It's no wonder that in such a short period of time, something extraordinary has been achieved......"

The young nobleman shook his head, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he continued to smile bitterly.

Do you have that qualification?

It's too far behind, whether it's swordsmanship, martial arts, or something else, compared to that woman, he doesn't have the slightest advantage except for having the bloodline inheritance of an ancient family, even if it's more proud magic, after she gets the divine revelation, it becomes meaningless.

And the path of a mage is so long, the high-level mages in history are like the carp that crossed the river, but how many of them obtained that achievement when they were in their early twenties? Especially his own qualifications, he naturally knew very well, or could he really push open the door of the mysteries and set foot in the place called the realm of the gods...... But as you can imagine, that can only happen in twenty or thirty years, or even longer.

As for the comfort of the person in front of him......

Master apprentice, young lord, mentor of the prince...... No matter what kind of aura these auras are, they can't be touched by themselves, so it's really hard for people to trust this enlightenment based on extraordinary cases.

"Hey, that Willian...... Your Excellency, don't hesitate, aren't you afraid that young lady will be taken away by someone else?, for example, what is that Thyssenkrup?" asked the half-elf lady with a wink. Ignoring this issue for granted can hurt the other person.

So the young mage apprentice's expression was gloomy: "Actually, don't worry, it may be a lie that even I can't deceive...... However, Miss Yulia doesn't have much interest in men, especially those who are weaker than her, so even if her family makes arrangements, she can refuse them as a god servant - as a paladin, she can't actually be counted as a member of the Rytge family, and the family's constraints on her are very small. ”

It's getting farther and farther away.

The unlucky rich second-generation ** silk is not his focus, so after a pause, Edward quietly changed the topic to another angle.

"The most important thing is to see what the Duke means, right?13-Lookੌo;If a duke and a royal swordsman agrees, then the pressure between churches or families should be fine, or is it that this time the matter is from his personal instructions?"

"Huh?"

The title deliberately revealed by the telemancer surprised Willian: "Lord Duke...... Royal Swordsmith?, I'm sorry, Master Apprentice, I don't know anything about this kind of question. Moreover, it should not be enough to give instructions or anything, because the Duke has suddenly fallen ill recently, so the work of encircling and suppressing the cultists will fall on Miss Yulia. ”

"Really?" 13 - Lookੌo; The Internet does not skip words. Edward nodded, noticing that the minor nobleman on one side had lowered his head, apparently upset by the false legend.

"But, but, Lord Willian, Lord of Greenland, must be the best general in the kingdom, he ......" finally he could not help asking.

"Yes, in fact, not only the Duke of Greenland, but also the parents of each generation of the Rytge family are all outstanding generals in the life of Rong Ma, but for the Duke of Greenland, although he has unparalleled wisdom and command ability, this Duke has never had a physique worthy of the knight's name; ”

After thinking for a moment, Willian spoke slowly:

"As for the identity of the royal swordsmith, according to convention, it is an extremely secret of the royal palace, and I think that even within the Riteg family, only a few people can know this secret, of course, provided that the Riteger family really has a royal swordsmith: because according to the general practice, the royal swordsmith should be by His Majesty's side at all times throughout his life. And Lord Duke, although I can only judge from the observation of a few meetings, this possibility is very small...... For a royal swordsmith must not be at least frail and sickly, is he, but the Duke of Greenland seems to have been plagued by some ailments, so he ......"

Of course, it is also possible that it is not an illness, but an injury...... This would also explain why he did not stay in Romante, but returned to his own territory as a reward for his devotion to his country. Let him retire?

Either way, it was an obstacle to his own plans—if it weren't for the Duke himself, it would be less secure if he needed to make some contracts.

After a brief exchange and reflection, the carriage drove past the vibration on the castle drawbridge, distracting Edward slightly, noticing the sounds of commands and manipulations that began to sound on the left and right.

The castle has arrived.

It was past midnight, and even the nocturnal life admired by the nobles was coming to an end at this time, so after a simple arrangement, it was time to rest.

However, after meditating in the room for a while, Edward himself was now extremely conscious.

In order to prepare for this operation in the evening, Edward arranged for everyone to make up for sleep in the afternoon, but Miss Lisa obviously did not obey Edward's arrangement, relying on the half-elf's sleep time to be far half as short as that of humans, and she didn't know where to waste her time...... It's a pity or because she hasn't yet had the maturity she claims to have, and after a moment of jolting on the carriage, she has begun to close her eyes and recuperate, and by the time she gets off the carriage, she has kowtowed like a water-sucking bird. In the end, Edward carried her into the guest room.

As for the half-elf lady named Sarina, who was probably the most bizarre part of her life in light of what happened that night, Edward cast a psionic spell to calm her mind and threw it to little Ryan to take care of.

As for whether this little nobleman will be very gentlemanly and guard for a night, or seize the opportunity to play with a blush and heartbeat, or explode and rub oil and eat tofu, that is not something that Edward needs to care.

Obviously, the female paladin, as the master, did not have the slightest good impression of this mage apprentice who confronted her face-to-face...... The rooms arranged are the few in the castle that are relatively close to the internal test, although there is magic to adjust the temperature, but at midnight in this midsummer, the air is somewhat stuffy, and it is not a place to sleep quietly for people who are not tired.

So after thinking about it, he simply sat up and began to comb through the memories in his head.

Slowly sketch out a map in your mind.

In the center of the map, there is the black eagle, the family domain of Blackhawk, which lies in the southeast of the Krurod Mountains, including the foothills of the Hulunkel Mountains, the east bank of the Hulun River and the Bet Lake, occupying a vast area, and then sandwiched between the Dukedoms of Blackwood in the south, and the territory of the privileged Earl Zizilun in the north, and later, a little further north, Ralphs, the northern territory of the kingdom, and Thyssenkrup, a little southeast.

Although nominally an earl, the Earl of Privilege is not just the lord of a city, for example, Ralphs, who owns far less territory than the twelve cities of the Riteger family, who have the title of duke, but also owns at least five cities and nearly a hundred fiefs, and the other representative, the Blackwood family, although they claim to be dukes, is in fact always nicknamed the marquis. The position is also more embarrassing among the six real power factions, because the number of cities in his country is only seven, and the southwest corner behind him is the barren and desolate, 'even the scavenging beasts don't want to live' Xifengyi land, and the own territory connected to it is also barren, if it weren't for the fact that there is the largest iron mine in the entire kingdom, and there are gold and silver veins in the territory, in addition to the subsidies given by Romandy after handing it over, it can also be slightly privately swallowed to govern the army, it may have been split up a long time ago. And the title of Blackhawk's feud can only be regarded as one of the forces that contain this black eagle.

Therefore, as the two major territories of the kingdom, the Reitger family's right to speak is obviously not ordinary, even if the two counts who are also in power, they can only deepen their friendship with each other, otherwise, whether it is Ralphs or Senklu, they will only face the encroachment of the other party, although the wisest way is to fight together, but if there is a dispute between these two counts...... Hehe, presumably this is the current situation, everyone is striving for the support of the most powerful third party.

As for those counties in the northeast that only have a decent city as the main city, such as and Cologne, although they also have intricate territorial structures, but in fact, in the national strategy, they are just some dispensable chess pieces.

And the connection with this qiē is the Romandi in the center, this huge city, like a spider firmly occupying the web, controlling the surrounding territory that radiates out, and maintaining this control is its aristocratic system that has lasted for thousands of years, but any existence can not be eternal, this thousand-year foundation from the first day of its establishment, is quietly moving towards inevitable extinction, thousands of years, has let the thick and strong silk thread quietly corroded, although the nobles keep mending it with their own nets, but now, this patched web, is being crushed by its own thick pudding。

This is the country,

In this huge game of thrones, I have inadvertently logged into it, so what kind of player are I going to become?

In the short term, or maybe it's a spectator?13-Lookੌo;A lot of words on the Internet

For Edward, the contest between the two families is actually indispensable for him, even if someone can completely annex the vast territory in the northwest of this romantic, it has nothing to do with him, a small viscount, but as a zichelan sandwiched between the two dukedoms, I am afraid that he is the most distressed one.

The territory belonging to the Hartland family has a humid climate and rich soil, and has always been known for its population and food production, but because of this, his relationship with the Duke of Black Eagle has always been below freezing- A few years ago, he had proposed that the most elite troops of the kingdom go to the front line and point the finger directly at Blackhawk, known as the hard-headed earl, but the disparity in strength also doomed this kind of targeting to be a tragedy that outweighed the losses.

Thinking about these dry conditions, Edward walked casually in the small garden, and when he looked up casually, he noticed the slender and familiar figure not far away.

Standing under the window, Daherne looked up at the sky above the castle, and although the silver mask obscured her face, the stunned posture made her seem to be interested in the sparkle.

Indeed, although it has sunk in the west, the moonlight is good tonight......

It's not a silver full moon, but it's not a cold waning moon, it's the least romantic gibbous moon, but because of this, it reveals some pale yellow colors, and a little less cold taste. And because of that, those stars have become much brighter. In a world where the air is far from reaching the pH 2.5 test index, the starlight in the summer sky is almost far away, which can arouse the deepest awe and boundless imagination in people's hearts.

"What's wrong?" said Edward softly as he walked up behind her.

"Nothing, just nothing to do, so just take a look at the view. Sensing someone approaching, the priestess's gaze turned slightly, but in the end she didn't pay much attention.

"If you look at it here, it won't be very clear, right?13-Lookੌo;A lot of words on the Internet"

The Psychic Warlock smiled, reaching out and grabbing her Rou Cun.

Slightly concentrating, a gust of air swirled, and the bodies of the two took off into the air and flew out lightly.

The Psychic Psychic Psychic is a teleportation system, exclusive to the Spirit Traveler, and Edward needs to use the Psychic Revolution to use it, but fortunately, he doesn't want to fly too far, and the Psionic Levitation Technique is enough to deal with it......

Slowly ascending, then moving outward, the two of them had already stepped onto a terrace when the strength dissipated.

This is one of the towers of the castle, one of the highest apex of this ancient Lockco building, not very high above the ground, only about twenty meters above the ground, however, it is almost the most magnificent building of this age, and the wooded roads in the distance, the farmsteads and fields stretch out, the chirping insects and the sound of the wind mingle into a subtle rustle, and the breeze blows away the midsummer heat. It also makes the sky closer to people.

"When you're bored, it's a good pastime to look at the stars, and if you like it, I'll make you a magic prop that will make you see more clearly. ”

"Boring...... Actually, it's not bad. ”

The expression covered by the silver mask could not be seen in sorrow and joy, and Dahny's voice seemed to be empty, or, rather, relaxed:

"Don't worry about fighting, don't worry about what someone is planning, don't worry about the family, don't worry about managing those annoying men, don't worry about what threats you are into, and don't even bother with the oracles of the goddess...... Qiē doesn't seem to have much to do with me...... It's boring. ”

"But the things in front of me seem to be much richer than the previous hundred years or nearly two hundred years combined, and the stupid ones, the wise ones, the powerful ones, or the weak ones have all become different from before. Like today, that weird little imp, and what he wants, I can't help but want to see more. I wonder what kind of face he will have if he fails, lost, angry, or indifferent?"

"It's too much. ”

She said softly, and then looked up at the sky, the faint starlight reflected her dark red pupils: "It's like this roofless space, these starry skies that are bigger than any drow city, here, the world is full of too many things, even if it's just your small city, there are also rich things in the dark region, although most of them are very stupid, like those slaves, but it still makes me feel ...... How do you say, fresh?"

"That's the way the world is...... In fact, if you have the opportunity to leave here and see the whole universe, it is far ten thousand times, billions of times, trillions of times bigger than this earth...... Even if you are a bigger being, you will feel that your current self is still shallow. ”

"Ten thousand times bigger than the earth? What is that, the home of the gods?"

"No, it's the stars,"

"They look so small...... How could it be ......"

"It's just that it's too far away, didn't you say, this sky has no vertices, so those things that seem tiny are just as far away from us as incredible. And there are far more of them than you see. Approximately, there are billions of ......"

Edward's voice paused, for the scenery in front of him reminded him that he had already said it not so far away.

Changed......

An inexplicable pain in his heart made him stop talking.

However, Daherne was clearly unaware of his thoughts.

"It's just a little confused, compared to you, I really can't adapt to here, no, it should be said, my people and I, I'm afraid it's really impossible to complete the task entrusted to me by the goddess, no matter how weak the human race is, no matter how much we boast of our own strength, but compared to the dark elves and humans, the overall gap is too huge. Even if I can gather the dark elves of one or two cities, even if I can have 30,000 or 50,000 warriors, can we really take a place on the ground?"

She narrated softly, as if she was asking, as if asking herself, and she was also caught in a kind of thought.

"Without slaves, Drow may not be able to survive in a place where there is nothing at all, we don't know how to farm for food, and we can't cope with the daylight, let alone face those human mages, or, we can successfully resist one or two attacks, but if it is by a few ** divisions, no, even if it is a storage like you, one person is probably enough to kill most of us, the same population loss, for humans, is just a drop in the bucket, but for Drow, it is a catastrophe...... ”

"No, no, the abyss is below, what am I talking about?"

Suddenly realizing something, Daherne exclaimed, closed her eyes, and the priestess fell to one knee, clasped her hands, and trembled at her own imagination: "No...... Forgive my stupidity, great and cruel queen of spiders, I cannot think like this, your will is our destiny, and we will win this war, it will be ......"

Edward wanted to laugh again.

"Little fool, you're thinking too far, aren't you?13-Lookੌo;A lot of words on the Internet War is that you have to wipe out the opponent and leave no trouble, that can only be done in the dark region, on the surface, allies are what everyone needs. He put his hand around her shoulders and lifted her up, gently removing the mask from her face and studying the delicate black jade face.

The priestess's skin was soft and smooth, and under the moonlight, it seemed to be radiating a faint luster, and her silver brows were slightly frowned, but the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling, allowing Edward to slowly imprint her lips down, sealing the pink flesh.

An ordinary kiss.

"yes, I'm a fool...... Actually, I know that you have always looked down on me. ”

As his lips parted, Drow's breath shortened.

The smile of a telemagician was reflected in her red eyes, and after a silence, she said softly word by word#2636o: "For you, I was just a stupid woman nestled in my own city, wrapped up in intrigue and nervousness, and I was impenetrable, wasn't it?

"That's not right, actually, most of humanity thinks you like it. For it seems to them that you are willing to live that way, and that you can get great pleasure from it, and that you take pleasure in killing, and like dark and cold places, and they are lizards and snakes, no, spiders. Edward laughed.

"Damn, there's no way they'll know how much hardship we're going to have to face, stupid humans!" muttered the Drow priest, his sudden vicious tone that made the man's smile widen even more.

"Yes, those stupid humans...... They don't want anything, they don't have to worry about anything, they don't need to watch out for their sisters, and they don't have to pay attention to attacks that don't know when they will come...... But what they do is not much different from that of the slaves, they plant, they dig, and in the end they do not use what they have earned by their own work, to raise a superior like you, or a parasite, and yet they are not in the slightest bit dissatisfied, and even take it for granted......

"So, humans are strange creatures?"

Edward interrupted her: "Actually, aren't they all the same, it's just that they have different values, even if you can give them what they want, they will naturally defend you, and in my city, what I give them is what they want, food, safe shelter, and most of the freedom, they are naturally willing to pay a lot of money in exchange." ”

"It's not these things that Drow likes. The priestess snorted.

Yes, the drow covet only power, and that is not something that can be satisfied with a moment of comfort and a full stomach......

"I know that we have a much stronger penchant for power than you...... It's just that we have almost nothing but that, killing and fighting...... Every drow has been in it since he was born, but he doesn't struggle in it, and if he doesn't treasure it as his own, then the final outcome can only be swallowed by those things. ”

Dahni's voice suddenly weakened.

In fact, for the dark elves, the biggest curse may not be known to people - the skin of the different race, the physique that will weaken in the sun, and the vision that will be stunned by the strong light...... It's this excess lust for power.

It is this kind of ** that completely seals the drow in the dark region, under the daggers behind them, the poison in the food, and the calculation and balance of each other, if there is no breakthrough, their final fate may only be gradually reduced until they die.

And this greed for power is exactly what their gods admire, because it is that kind of continuous sacrifice that can make the power of Queen Rose forever maintain a peak state comparable to the main god of the elves and control the entire dark region

Therefore, the drows, who have been said to be fierce and vicious by human beings, are in fact just the bottom victims of divine power.

...... What about human beings? Are the human beings of this world the underlying products of divine power, or rather, the rules of this world?

Thinking of this, such a thought suddenly popped into Edward's mind.

"Forget it, go back, it's so dirty here. Each had his own thoughts, and time passed slowly in the thoughts of the two, and after a moment, the priestess spoke to break the silence.

"Huh?"

The surrounding scenery seems to have nothing to do with the dirty? This rough bluestone guard tower has been swept quite clean, without the slightest dust, and the floating ash blown by the wind where the two of them are standing is already the largest dust of Cheng Dù, right?13-Lookੌo;A lot of words on the Internet

Edward's gaze narrowed.

It's really different.

At this time, he noticed that this watchtower had actually been cast a good illusion, from the outside, it was just an almost abandoned watchtower, covered with dust and cobwebs, but in Edward's eyes, there was nothing to hide under the cover of the illusion, so those delicate curtains, and the light that faintly shone behind them, were ......

Wait, lights?

Not a light, but a glimmer of magic.

Blue light of illusion.

The arrangement here is very clever, behind the simple illusion, a thick curtain blocks all the lattices and doors, but behind it there is a layer of magical aura, apparently used to mask the light and sound, so that even if you look at it from a very close distance and see through the effect of the illusion, you will still only see the half-worn curtain, which one might think is a necessary cover for military installations.

Edward frowned, he had just thought the scenery of this place was good. The position was higher, so he flew up with Daheni, but he didn't expect that there was a magic arrangement.

What important place is the Duke's house? It doesn't look very like it......

In thought, the psychic warlock walked softly to the door, his mind swamming, and he lifted it gently. The glow behind the curtain, and the sound, slowly cast out.

There was no imaginary vigilance, only two silver lampstands, and a faint magical glow reflected a small space.

On the ornate bed in the center, two white figures were entangled, and the sound of heavy gasps, screams like crying, and the sound of metal crashing, and the creaking of wood, mixed into a yin*dew rhythm, which was filled with the power of magic and restraint in this small room.

The Psychic Warlock couldn't help but sigh softly.

I thought it was some mystery...... As a result, he broke into the love nest arranged by others, and also bumped into a pair of wild mandarin ducks.

Well, if that's all there is, he doesn't want to sigh - the two in the room, who were tumbling in the clouds, were obviously confident in the concealment of the lair, so they were quite engaged in love, and did not notice the arrival of the stranger, so it was not a disturbance to just quit.

But to the displeasure of the psychic mancer, he had some impression of the faces that were entangled in greedy kisses......

In fact, it's just a multi-hourglass that I've just seen before.

Isn't that the protagonist of the farce of encirclement and suppression just now, the knight captain from some family, and the betrothed lady that Willian wants to fight for?

Chapter 382: The Territory of Game of Thrones
