Pei Di's holy power was very clearly felt, and there was a strong negative energy in the black energy just now, and he subconsciously thought of some things that the mages had reported some time ago.

Half an hour later, the court magician Leah and the five magic professors hurried to the garden residence in the backyard of Kawalburg.

Subsequently, Cowlier was also ordered to arrive with several of his students.

At the same time, the entire castle was put under martial law under the secret order of Pedi.

After a nap, teams of magicians appear at the castle with their apprentices, and are led by the knights to monitor any negative energy that can be present.

To prevent confusion, Pedi claims that he is conducting a magic experiment with the mages, and refuses Prime Minister Daisier Pombo's request to see him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liara and Collier arrived at the study in the garden building.

Pedi's face was gloomy, and anyone could see the anger in his heart that could not be concealed at the moment. But the child suppressed the anger in his heart, squinted at his chief magician of the court, Leah, and asked, "Ma'am, what have you discovered?"

"There is no trace of artificiality. Leah stubbornly said: "The magical elements of the surrounding space tend to stabilize, and there are occasional negative energies in the spatial rifts, but they are all blocked out by the magic enchantment set up by Her Majesty the Queen. ”

"But I saw with my own eyes that my queen was impregnated by an unknown power. Pedy tapped his fingers on the table to vent his frustration, "I remember when you reported an anomaly in the World Demon Net, I allocated you 100,000 kroner to prevent them from invading Crewe City, and now..."

"Bang, bang!" Pedi roared as he slammed his hand on the table, "and now it's in Kawalburg, in my bedchamber, and even more in the queen's body. ”

"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty..."

"I don't need to apologize, I just need the truth. "While the throne gave Peddy power, it also made him feel insecure.

Leah glanced at Collier next to her, she saw that the other party lowered his head and looked like he didn't care about himself, and said after scolding in her heart: "Your Majesty, according to the monitoring of the Castle Magic Tower, in the past day, there have been very powerful magic fluctuations in your living area, according to my investigation, it is the power of Her Majesty, she used a magic enchantment similar to the time and space attribute during your sleep..."

"This is a complex magic, and even with Her Majesty's almost endless mental power, it is impossible to sustain it for more than ten hours in a row... But Her Majesty the Queen is very clever, and the magic circle she has built allows the caster to continuously absorb the energy in the surrounding space to maintain the existence of the enchantment, which I once thought was a near-perfect magic... But now, I know the downside of this magic, the energy it absorbs will have a certain effect on the caster himself, or if the external energy is too large, it will cause serious damage to the caster itself. ”

As Leah explained, Pedi subconsciously began to recall his wife's performance at the beginning, and he suddenly understood why Eileen Fil had been struggling with that question... Perhaps, she was afraid that she would be infected by some unknown force to use such a complex magical enchantment, and when she was infected by some kind of negative energy, her obsession was infinitely magnified.

Pedi was silent, Leah and Collier were apprehensive, but everything that needed to be explained had already been explained, and saying more about it now would only be counterproductive. Therefore, they can only remain silent and wait for the verdict of His Majesty the King.

"The Magic Tower must increase its monitoring of the World Magic Net... This power is so dangerous that it can influence people's minds. As he spoke, Pedi looked at Collier, "Set up branch laboratories of magic towers in various academies, and keep an eye on them at all times!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

As the two took the order, Pedi waved his hand.

When the two left the study, Pedi rushed back to the master bedroom as soon as possible, and Erin Phier was still asleep, but not like Pedi before, she was just tired.

Pedi looked at Erin Field's quiet cheeks in the afternoon sun, and couldn't help but smile as she listened to the other party's well-proportioned breathing. Then, cautiously reaching out his hand, the soft power began to gather around his body, slowly spreading throughout the room.

Two hours later, Erin Phil woke up from a deep sleep.

"Honey, how do you feel?" said Paddy gently stroking his wife's black hair.

"It feels good," said Eileen Phil subconsciously, "I haven't been so relaxed in a long time. ”

Hearing this, Pedi smiled lightly and slowly walked to the window and opened the curtains, letting the sunlight from outside into the room, Erin Phier had indeed come to her senses, she got out of bed and approached Pedi, "What's going on, I remember you and I were chatting here." ”

"You're so tired, and then you fall asleep. Peddy looked at the decaying landscape of the garden and whispered, "You're the queen, there's no need to make yourself so tired, if you..."

"I'm just a little scared..."Erin Phier suddenly hugged Pedy's waist and let her whole body stick to Pedi's back, "I'm afraid of losing, and I'm even more afraid of being lonely... I don't know when it began, my father gradually stopped coming home, and my mother stayed in the laboratory all day..."

"You'll never lose anyone again, I swear!" Peddy turned to hug his wife, "Besides, I'm just mentally exhausted, and I'm not..."

"But I'm still afraid—" Erinphier's voice scrambled for the right to speak, and she clearly wanted to say something, but she stopped halfway through her speech, as she saw several cabinet ministers waiting anxiously in the garden.

"Your ministers are waiting for you. Erin Fil let go of Pedi, "As a good king, you shouldn't let your courtiers waste their time here. ”

"I'm their king, so, I can make them wait down there for a day. ”

"Of course, this is the power of the king. Erin Phier turned around and sat down on the couch next to her, looking at Pety with a little helplessness, "However, the next day the nobles of the kingdom will start cursing me from the bottom of their hearts, they will think that I won't let you leave... So, think it's for me. ”

"Do you care what the nobles think?"

"Among knights, queens are generally villains, and I hate queens like that. ”

"Haha!"

...

Kavalburg Inner Hall Office,

Pedi sat around a couch by the window with his cabinet leaders and two advisers.

As the Prime Minister, Marquis Daisily Pombo, as was customary, he reported on several important documents that had recently been presented from various places, and Pedi leaned back on the sofa smoking a cigar with obvious impatience on his face.

"The Treasury Department recently imposed taxes on the town of Sekha..."

"All right, my Prime Minister. Pedi straightened up, "In the future, you will be in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the kingdom, and you will only need to hand over important documents to my secretary-general, Knight Otwood, or the clerk, Sir Benjie Alva, and I will read them carefully and give instructions." ”

Pedy's words were echoed by everyone in the room, except for Daisily Pombo, who had had had enough of the endless debriefing and requests for instructions at meetings over the past month.

"That's it. Pedi was resolute, and he looked at the others in the room without waiting for Daisily Pombo to answer, "I wonder if the Kingdom of Balu has agreed to our terms, and how is the war going in Crane City?"

Baron Hanina subconsciously straightened her back when she heard this, and then exhaled a breath, Rao was also a little upset by the Prime Minister's report just now with her concentration, "The choice of the Balu Kingdom is surprising..."

"Accident?" Pedi was stunned, "Could it be that Sackdo is planning a war?"

Hannina spread her hands, "No!

"Abdication?"

"Yes, the Kingdom of Balu has officially submitted a written letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sir Bipp continued: "In the meantime, the new king of the kingdom of Baru will arrive in Crewe at the end of this month to attend our New Year's bonfire. ”

"We can't refuse. Edwin Fellin gave a rare look of helplessness.

After pondering for two seconds, Pedi commented heartily, "Sakdo is a great king!" and then he smiled, "Even if we lose the opportunity to control the kingdom of Baru, we have a good chance to control their thrones... I believe that after this incident, all countries, including the elves, will have to reconsider their relations with us. ”

"Speaking of elves," Pedi immediately looked at Hannina and Syrah-Marne, "How's the battle for Crane going?"

"There were some surprises, too. After Hannina and Sheila Marne looked at each other, it was reported by Siala Marne: "The war in Crane City is over, and the elves have submitted their intention to negotiate to Trofil Cliff and Andy Barrett, and the three parties are now negotiating to jointly manage Crane City." ”

"Jointly manage Klan City?" Pedi frowned, "With the current strength of the elves, do you need three parties to manage Klan City together?" he looked at Hanina, "Is there a problem within the elves?"

Hanina immediately shook her head, "There is no information on this at the moment. ”

"I've gotten some information from some of the higher-ups of the Merchants' Guild. Edwin Filin grimaced, "The elves intend to reopen the Yekjar military port of trade, and they intend to use their control over the southern coast of the continent to work with the Brotherhood to open another ocean trade route. ”

"The ocean-going routes in the southern seas are very long, which artificially increases the cost of goods. Cowlier immediately said, "It's not a threat to us at all, is it?"

"Theoretically, so. Edwin Fellin nodded, "But there are irreplaceable commodities in Felder's Collar and Narren Forest... Moreover, it has now been found that the base camp of the Misha Kingdom is in the western waters of the continent, and they are now close to the dwarves, if a cooperation agreement is reached with the dwarves..."

"Elves still want to be in the arms business?" said Pedi as he took a sharp puff on his cigar.

"It's not that I want to do it, but I'm already working on it. Edwin Fellin shrugged helplessly, "Once the elves get involved in the ordnance business, it will cause a lot of losses to our ocean trade. ”

"I think..."Sira Marne stood up, and when everyone looked at her, she walked over to the map and pushed the wooden shelf with the map in a place where everyone could see, "I don't think it's possible for Andy Barrett and Trofil to get together with the elves, because the presence of the elves seriously affects their own development, and they can only become vassals if they cooperate with the elves." ”

"I don't know about Trofil, but my cousin certainly wouldn't be willing to be a vassal of the elves. The last time Pedi saw Andy at Fort Herien, he still remembers the unreserved ambition in his eyes.

Siara-Marne nodded, "Trofil killed his own nephew to take the dukedom, then betrayed the Empire when it needed him the most, and relied on the Orcs to consolidate his dominance, and now, he betrayed the Orcs to invade the Klan Territory, I believe that such a person would not be willing to become a vassal." ”

Edwin Filin shook his head slightly, and he said with a disapproving expression: "The information I have received is that the elves intend to use the power of the entire Suk Plains to build the city of Klan into a defensive fortress group like the Anku Fortress to ensure the safety of the Twak Territory and the Rigrock Principality, and also promised to establish a huge trade area to promote the development of the Twak Territory and the Rigrock Principality!"

"We can't be too optimistic. Edwin Fellin looked at his king with a solemn expression: "The abdication of King Sakdo of the Kingdom of Balu is a big shock to both Andy Barrett and Trofil Cliff, and with how much they rely on us in this war, they will definitely wonder if it will be their turn next." ”

"If I were Trofil Cliff or Andy Barrett, I would have taken the opportunity in front of me... At some point, the immediate interests are more important than the future!" Edwin Filin took a deep breath, "Working with the elves will not only eliminate the threat from the Suke Plains, but also promote the future development of the territory, and when the orcs counterattack Klan City, they will have support from half of the Eastern Continent!"

Edwin Film's words made everyone, including Pedi, fall into deep thought, and Sira Marne subconsciously followed this line of thought and began to deduce on the map.

Looking at Sira Marne's deduction, Pedi asked, "What is the attitude of the orcs and dwarves now?" ”

Hearing this, Sir Bipp subconsciously glanced at Baron Hannina, and when he saw that the other party did not mean to steal the words, he reported: "Our liaison officer stationed in the northern clan of the orcs sent a magic letter two days ago, the orcs are very concerned about the changes in the situation in Crane City, and the stone can-silver axe may launch a strong attack on Lacnivi City in advance. ”

"As for the dwarves," Sir Bipp shook his head, "we haven't received any information yet. ”

Pedi nodded and looked at Edwin Film, who immediately said, "There is some information from the Merchants' Guild that the werewolf messenger is negotiating with the dwarves, but the two sides are not talking happily... I've already arranged for several chambers of commerce with energy to be presidents..."

"Is Baron Aemond still in Balan?" Peddy interrupted Edwin Filmin abruptly and asked a strange question.

Daisily Pombo's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Yes, he..."

"Let him go to the Western Continent and talk to the dwarves. Pedi looked at Edwin Film, "You're doing your best to help him get this done." Then he looked at Baron Hanina, "We don't have to follow the rules of the game when necessary, the sea trade has always been bloody. ”

"Understood!" Baron Hannina nodded.

At this time, the old orc Ba looked at Hannina and said, "This is a question that goblins are most interested in. ”

Hanina looked at Pedi as she nodded, and Pedi smiled "haha", "I give you full authority in this matter." With that, he stood up and walked to the window, looked at the knights who were training in the school field not far away, and said in a confident tone: "We have invested more than half a million kroner in supplies after Crane takes the lead, and no one can let us spend money in vain, no one!"
