"You said ......," motioned Sean to continue.

"I learned from Locks that although the pirates contributed money and effort to rob the tribute this time, there was still a force mixed in behind it. ”

The teacup that Emperor Ser had just picked up was suddenly put down.

glanced at the side......

Sitting next to him were a woman and two men, who were introduced as his sons and daughters, the princes and princesses of Kselke.

But I forgot what it was called, and I didn't write it down too quickly...... It is too early for me to determine the relationship of the future heir, and I don't need to get involved with the princes and princesses of other countries.

"Just two days before you came, Earl Barton had already reported to me what had happened. ”

It was in the courtyard that Locks told the story that day, and everyone present probably knew that it was not strange, and Sean also thought that they would report it to the emperor as soon as possible.

"Uncle Nassell knows what this 'Free Guys' organization is about?" Sean asked deliberately.

"This organization has been around for a few years, and it probably appeared in the southern part of the continent when I was your age...... However, it was once the land of another country, and at that time it was only wanted as a rebel in that country. ”

There are also many regions and countries in the south, but Sean can only listen if he doesn't know!

"I think Shaun's little nephew should have heard the story of our great alchemist Meredith back then, right?"

"I've been hearing about ...... along the way"

Don't just hear about it.

He was also the one I personally pushed into the 'Gate of Truth'.

Fortunately, Lucille was still very young at that time, and Mi'er was not present, otherwise if this matter was known by a third person, I am afraid that there would be problems on Lucille's side.

"Well, no matter how Meredith was treason at the time, he himself would have given a lot to the country...... You should also know that the person who can be in this position is not clean for a long time, and there will be some small movements more or less, but he is too much at that time. ”

I didn't expect Serre to speak very well.

is not concealed, and the emperor's mental trick is even more insightful.

"But it was the years after his death, and the alchemical process of the whole country suddenly stopped, and many people stood up against my uncle, then Emperor Williams, saying that he should not have sawn off the pillars of a country, but what could be done. ”

“...... They were not the people of that time and never knew the pain of their uncle at that time. ”

Sean looked at Emperor Serre's face.

This can be regarded as a true expression of affection, and he still has some feelings for the emperor who passed on the throne to him.

"And what about then?

"There's a part of the relationship. Later, the progress of the entire country in industry was repeatedly and abruptly slowed down, and there were even cases of wizards challenging the status of alchemists. Our country is dominated by alchemists, and many children of nobles and officials are learning alchemy, and it would be a denial for the country to suddenly become witchcraft. Emperor Serge said.

Naturally, my uncle at that time disagreed, but the contradictions among the people had already risen, and the slow development of industry made it impossible for many workers to eat...... It was at that time that we received requests for help from the southern countries. ”

"Asking for help?" Sean looked at the other man's eyes and moved.

"I don't know why the 'free men' were able to defeat the national army at that time and fight against the regime at that time, so the southern countries asked us for help, and we naturally began to send troops to alleviate the internal conflict. ”

Bang dang~

The sound of the tea set falling on the table.

The conversation between the two suddenly stopped......

Sean followed the sound and looked over, it was Lucille who dropped the tea set, and she was embarrassed to look at it.

However, the eyes kept staring at him, and there was a state of [hint!] above his head.

It's crazy to hint at yourself.

If others don't understand her, won't they know?

A person with level 18.5 of the orderly, can he not hold the cup and let it fall, under normal circumstances, even if it falls, he can catch it before it falls.

She was suggesting that she was careful, or that she meant to be careful......

And when Emperor Serge said conscription, Sean already understood.

Aren't the workers without jobs, the aimless alchemists the best candidates for conscription? The key to solving the problem is the problem itself, and if you send them all to the front, what is the problem?

"So what happened in the end?" Sean asked directly at the end of the process that abruptly skipped the process.

"In the end, of course, we won, there is no country on the southern continent that can compete with Kselke, but it is also because of that victory that the 'free people' who were originally just a small organization have targeted us, and there have been occasional incidents of disrupting the border over the years, and there are ten things that have to do with them. ”

It has become the opposite of two countries completely.

I see.

Speaking of which, Sean can be regarded as understanding the cause and effect of the whole thing, since they are all hostile, then naturally he will have to be disgusted if he has the opportunity.

That's why the robbery of the tribute happened!

Scold......

This story can still come back so round.

Because Lucille is still there, she still has a little impression in the plot where she snatched the tribute, at the beginning she said that she was going to investigate the wizarding society, but she didn't expect that a ** change more than 20 years ago would make the wizarding society a little low-key, so that another organization came out.

"I see, they did it. ”

"That's right, in fact, I had doubts before, but then the news came from Jagon that it was the pirates, so I didn't think about it, and now it seems that they are still them!"

Emperor Serge looked at himself, but Sean deliberately did not speak.

I took a few sips of tea......

The topic also changed from homely to formal things.

However, Sean did not inquire further, and Emperor Serge stopped asking.

Sure enough, he is a politician, and his ability to read words and emotions and patience are better than many people he has seen before.

"Stay here in peace for the next two days, and tell Lietta and Nova if you need anything...... They're just like you, and maybe you young people have more topics to talk about together. As Emperor Ser spoke, a man and a woman sitting next to him suddenly nodded their heads in greeting.

So these are the princes and princesses of Kselk!

Just as Sean responded, a minister hurried over.

looked at Sean next to him......

"It's okay, Prince Sean is not an outsider to say it directly. The Emperor gestured.

"It's the Great Alchemist Ricky Christian, who heard that the sea thief was escorted to DìDū, so she's rushing over now!"

Burst~

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the climate here is different from the desert, and I have a cough. ”

I almost didn't squirt the tea.

Who?

The Great Alchemist Ricky!

She actually became a great alchemist?

Suddenly looking in Lucille's direction, the other party just turned his head curiously and didn't show too much surprise, it seemed that she knew about it.
