Magic Apprentice

No one would have imagined that the war would once again envelope the grassland so quickly.

I didn't even expect that the momentum of the Kaoqi Kingdom was so fierce this time.

And what troubled Cecilia the most was undoubtedly the Kaoqi people's declaration of war, which was obviously so righteous.

This time, it is not only the ambitious emperor, nor the generals who are full of strong desires who want to go to war this time, but the worst thing is that it is the people of the Kaoqi Kingdom who want to go to war.

They wanted complete conquest to avenge the outrageous invasion of the so-called Montitas.

A falling airship, an arrow shot down in a civilian residential area, several buildings that were completely destroyed in the explosion, and the Kaoqi civilians who died because of it, all set Kaoqi on fire in an instant. The hatred of the strange people for the Kingdom of Montita.

No need to stir up, because the angry Kaoqi people are already burning with anger.

There is no need to motivate, because the Kaoqi are already full of desire to fight.

In the streets and alleys of Vedsk, and in most cities of the Kaoqi Kingdom, people are everywhere clamoring for "war" and "repaying blood debts from the Montitas".

But at this moment, compared to the passionate Kaoqi Kingdom, the city in the cloud is extremely calm.

Although every Montita people is worried about the war, no one knows whether the Montita Kingdom will still exist after this coming war.

No one knows whether their tribe and relatives can survive the war.

However, no one has any doubts about the coming war, and no one feels fear and panic because of it.

Whether it is City in the Cloud or Grant, the hustle and bustle of the past has disappeared without a trace, and everyone is busy with their work.

There is the sound of hammers everywhere, and soldiers who are hard at work can be seen everywhere.

It was completely different from the last time when the Kaoqi army came down on the border. Although the people of the Montita Grassland had not seen the banners waving by the Kaoqi people, nor heard the approaching horseshoes, every Montita person After walking out of his own house, even the women who were supposed to be busy in the kitchen and bedroom, and the children who were supposed to be playing and fighting under the care of their father and elder brother had already gathered together.

Heavy crossbows with rough workmanship were distributed to everyone.

Fortunately, any Montita, woman or child, is sure to be a good shooter.

The only thing they need to learn is how to distinguish the commander's orders.

These women and children armed with deadly weapons formed the largest army on the Montita grassland.

In this regard, even the most stubborn and old-fashioned old man who values ​​tradition the most does not find it difficult to understand.

Because almost everyone knows very well that the Montita Grassland has reached a critical moment of life and death.

On the upcoming battlefield, once defeated, no one can survive by luck, because this cruel grassland is doomed for the weak to not survive.

Without the city in the clouds, the tribes that were driven into the storm and the wolves will also gradually decline.

This is a fact that has been proven by countless tribes over the centuries. Because of this, no matter how hard and painful it is, those tribes on the Montita Prairie who wholeheartedly hope to prosper will choose the strange way of life like migratory birds.

Because only by coming to Grant Lake can they give them the hope of prosperity.

Grant Lake is a symbol of Montita's prosperity, and the city in the clouds is the most holy place that must be guarded.

This is their root, and it is also a blessed land that they can never give up.

Compared with Kaoqi, who was spreading the flames of anger, and Montita, who was preparing in silence, the Kingdom of Sophie seemed a bit at a loss and had no clue.

On the outskirts of Xinna City, there is a luxurious and comfortable private garden. This was originally the summer resort of the Maus family, the richest man in the Kingdom of Sophie, but at this moment, it has become a temporary place that remotely controls everything in the Kingdom of Sophie. Xinggong.

Ever since Her Royal Highness announced that she would take over the government affairs in place of her father, all the splendor that Sophie had once possessed in the capital suddenly seemed eclipsed.

Her Royal Highness did not intend to take away the officials at all. In fact, when she promulgated the temporary decree during the war, the original power in the hands of the officials in the capital had disappeared completely.

All positions are held by members of the Royal Knights who were once loyal to the royal family, but it is the representatives selected by the merchants in Xinna City who actually manage everything.

Naturally, those high-ranking officials, as well as those people in the capital who felt deeply lost, were quite dissatisfied with this.

However, the turmoil that has just been experienced, and the way that Her Royal Highness did not hesitate to hang thousands of once majestic and incomparable figures on the gallows, made those depressed and dissatisfied , replaced by fear and hesitation.

When Fein's capital fell from its splendid throne, Xinna, a city where merchants gathered, became the upstart of the kingdom.

Because of this, almost everyone tried their best to show their loyalty to that highness, and almost everyone hoped to serve this wise, strong-willed, and powerful princess, and thus be able to rank among the ranks of nobility.

However, even if everyone tried their best to wait for the favor of Her Royal Highness, there are still different opinions on whether to really launch an attack on the mighty Kaoqi Kingdom.

While every Sophie acknowledges that war is inevitable, most still regard declaring war merely as a means of maintaining peace.

Because of this, when the Kingdom of Montita sent a request for help, when Sicilia asked the Kingdom of Sophie and the Kingdom of Montita to join forces to attack Kaoqi, the quarrel and noise appeared in Sophie almost instantly. Among the streets and alleys of the Finn Kingdom.

The content of the quarrel was all about whether to agree to the request of the Montita Kingdom to flank the Kaoqi Kingdom.

Except for a few people who persistently believe that now is the best time to take revenge and at the same time completely eradicate the most unstable factor in the Kaoqi Kingdom once and for all, most people prefer to maintain the current situation of not fighting The state of discord, although this tense and depressive atmosphere makes everyone uncomfortable. .

However, once a war starts, the losses they may suffer will be immeasurable, not to mention that in case of defeat, everything they have now is likely to be wiped out.

Because of this, among the discussions in the streets and alleys, the momentum in favor of forming an alliance to attack the Kaoqi Kingdom is obviously much smaller.

The same debate also exists among those businessmen who are like upstarts.

For their own interests, those merchants are also willing to choose to live in peace with their powerful neighbors.

The only objection came from the mouth of the biggest rich man, Mr. Maus.

However, the richest man in the Sophie Kingdom is not really interested in this war that may greatly shrink his property.

The reason why he made such a choice was simply because he had to stand on the same ground as his three sons.

In fact, during the recent period, he has already thrown all the troublesome official duties on his youngest and most promising son Jerry.

Because his youngest son not only has the honor of his famous companions, but also has the title of one of the four sages. What's more, since he worshiped the princess of the Kingdom of Ledding as his teacher, Jerry Obviously he has grown a lot, not only has become more intelligent, but also more and more unfathomable. Even as a father, he feels that his son is unfathomable.

Meng, the richest man in the Sophie Kingdom, looked at his most outstanding successor with delighted eyes, and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Jerry was sitting next to the chief seat, and in front of him were those stubborn profit-seeking businessmen.

For these guys, Jerry is confident that he already knows everything.

And not just because he's been one of those people since he was born.

It is also because of his new teacher, the resourceful and resourceful princess, that the information network established in just one month has been effectively operated.

Jerry was even able to tell the color of the guys' underwear, and what they had for breakfast.

Not to mention, the few alliances formed by these guys in private, and the procedures and methods of offensive and defensive advance and retreat determined during private discussions.

Jerry already knew this well. In fact, he and Princess Xi Ling had already arranged everything.

Keeping the usual smile of a businessman—this is a trick Xi Ling taught him.

Jerry looked at one of the businessmen, who was saying impassionedly that being an enemy of Kaoqi would only benefit the Kingdom of Montita from it, while Sophie would not only bear a heavy burden, but might also Suffered huge losses due to the defeat of the war.

The businessman's mind was extremely clear, and he stuck to the word "interest" in every word and every sentence.

And what the merchants pay the most attention to, and at the same time the most vigilant, is undoubtedly their interests.

Because of this, most of the businessmen nodded their heads over and over again, and even those neutrals who were not on the other side's side seemed a little shaken at the moment.

Jerry listened patiently, and he was not moved at all, because he always firmly remembered the teaching and guidance given to him by Xi Ling—truth without strong support will be defeated by falsehood with strong force, On the butcher's knife, the greatest benefit is the possibility of survival. A mouth that can speak well must grow on the head of a living person to be effective.

Looking at those businessmen, Jerry felt deep contempt in his heart.

These guys are really stupid, do they think that as long as they unite, Sophie Kingdom will be controlled by them?

Could it be that they are unwilling to start a war, so that the troops of the Kingdom of Sophie dare not move an inch?

Jerry was completely indifferent to the overreaching of these businessmen, because he knew very well that he was completely different from these businessmen talking here. For today's meeting, he and Xi Ling studied for two full days, while Her Royal Highness Convinced all the upper-level figures in the Royal Knights, and made Kate take charge of the knights who were in charge of the operation.

What these guys are talking about here is simply a meaningless performance. In fact, the result has already been decided a few days ago.

Not only that, even for every actor here, they have already arranged a set of endings.

And their performance at the moment is determining the ending of the scene, whether it is a comedy or a tragedy for them.

After a while, seeing the impassioned businessman getting tired and repeating what he had said, Jerry nodded slightly to the attendant standing beside him, and the attendant walked out the door , when he returned to the hall, he was holding a thick stack of documents in his hand.

Jerry took the document and read it carefully. In fact, he already knew everything written on it, because these documents were written by himself and Princess Xiling, and they spent countless efforts and time on this.

He pretended to be contemplative, but his face was still full of smiles. This strange and unpredictable scene made the merchants quiet down.

Everyone was staring closely at the young master of the Second Danmeng, at this figure known as one of the Four Sages.

"It's a very interesting document, Mr. Idet. I heard that you have a preference for changing your attire and appearance. Last night, you changed into a downcast look and left Xinna City to a wine in the small town of Forsythe. There is a gentleman with you who is also invited, isn't that right? Axel?" Jerry said with a smile.

However, his smile at this moment made everyone present feel terrified.

Although most people don't know the details of it, they can guess that at this time, such words that have nothing to do with the topic suddenly appear, which is obviously a bit wrong.

What's more, there is a lot of conspiracy and weird taste hidden in these words. One side is changing their appearance to hold secret gatherings and contacts, while the other side is closely monitoring and secretly monitoring and tracking.

This is obviously all a shady business. At this moment, these dark and gloomy things are suddenly thrown onto the table at the same time, and the businessmen already feel a chill rushing up their backs. .

Especially the businessman who was the most active just now, his face was ashen at the moment, and cold sweat was pouring out of his forehead.

"At the same time, there were three other gentlemen, and one of them was confirmed to be Earl Segent. Mr. Idet, your acquaintances are really extensive, even the one who has always been arrogant and doesn't take others seriously. Earl Segent, I have introduced you as a confidant."

Jerry smiled again, this time, there was a hint of coldness in his smile.

"The other two gentlemen are obviously more mysterious. One of them disappeared without a trace after the meeting. Could it be that he was a magician? That would be even more remarkable."

"The other gentleman is equally mysterious, but luckily someone has noticed his whereabouts. A distinguished figure like him actually lives in a warehouse."

"Mr. Yidete, your close friend is really interesting. Instead of staying in inns and hotels, you actually settled in warehouses. You are so generous and hospitable that you don't hesitate to draw a huge sum of [-] gold coins. Leave it to that gentleman and the Earl, why didn't you invite that gentleman to live with you?" Jerry said leisurely.

But at this moment, the businessman was already on the verge of collapse, and he knew very well that there was some misunderstanding in it. Axeli invited him to attend the meeting that day, saying that there were three people who wanted to give him business.

That—[-] gold coins was actually a deposit, but at the party that day, those people did keep talking about how harmful the upcoming war would be, and that lucrative business would be ruined because of the war.

Because of this, he tried his best to oppose the alliance with the Montitas, but it never occurred to him that there was anything wrong with the identities of the people who gathered.

What's more, he wasn't the only one who used sneaky ways to negotiate for a big, lucrative business. The business field was originally just like the battlefield, full of fierce battles and various conspiracies.

The businessman tried his best to defend himself, but suddenly he felt that his body was out of control.

His heart was beating violently, cold sweat was streaming down uncontrollably, his body didn't even have any strength, even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't do it at all.

The businessman became more and more panicked. He didn't know what was happening to his body, but he knew one thing very well: if he didn't defend himself now, he would never have another chance.

He tried his best to make himself speak, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it at all. The businessman looked at Akseli in despair. However, what made him feel desperate was that Akseli's situation at the moment, Obviously no different from him.

In the eyes of other businessmen, this scene is completely different.

At this moment, those businessmen who once spoke with Idete: their hearts are full of fear and worry.

As for those merchants who had remained neutral, they secretly rejoiced that they hadn't moved closer, and hadn't been infected with the terrible poison and plague.

At this moment, almost everyone wanted to stay away from those two plague-like figures as much as possible.

As if bad luck would spread through the air, as if disaster and death would contaminate them.

"The two gentlemen must not be very well. Please let them go down and have a good rest." Jerry instructed the waiter beside him.

The waiter immediately called several strong and strong men, and dragged the two businessmen who were already limp.

Seeing this situation, the businessmen nearby felt a little peace in their hearts. The two terrible plague gods had been sent away, which at least made everyone feel a little relieved.

"Everyone, I would like to advise everyone that at this very moment, it is best not to be used by those people with ulterior motives."

"I believe that everyone has seen with their own eyes what a vicious conspiracy the Kaoqi people have set up to make our Kingdom of Sophie the second Kingdom of Fertilan."

"You should have seen with your own eyes how cruel and tyrannical those traitors are. Don't you think that under their rule, you can keep the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate all your life?"

"The only good thing is that our young Queen Regent is a determined person. She has made up her mind to protect the peace and dignity of the Kingdom of Sophie, and the Kingdom of Montita has always been our most loyal ally. Here At this time, our queen will never abandon her allies."

"The Kingdom of Kaoqi has always been our enemy. The Kingdom of Kaoqi has endangered the survival of the Kingdom of Sophie several times. The first two crises were all because of our strong and brave Queen. But today, Her Majesty the Queen is no longer willing to let the Kaoqi Kingdom repeatedly challenge the survival of the Sophie Kingdom."

"The hope of peace has been completely cut off when the Kaoqi Kingdom extended its clutches to us for the second time."

"Presumably everyone should be very clear that our Queen was once the strongest pursuer of peace. For this reason, she was even willing to risk her life to go to the dangerous Kaoqi Kingdom."

"The efforts she has made are precisely to seek peace, and she even sacrificed herself as a hostage for this!"

"But in the end, the Kaoqi people were given the opportunity to try to kill my famous companion, Enleco, and even my other companion, Kate, became the target they wanted to eliminate. "

"After escaping from the Kaoqi Kingdom, Her Majesty the Young Queen still hopes to find peace, but this once again gives the Kaoqi people a great opportunity to strike first."

"This time, they finally achieved their goal. The death of the great mage, Master Naga, is an incalculable loss for both Sophie and Her Majesty the Queen as a disciple."

"What's more, Master Naga was not the only one who was assassinated. The former Privy Councilor Joe was a resourceful and prestigious general. It was he who allowed us to escape the dangerous Kaoqi Kingdom."

"It is also because of his existence that the Kaoqi Kingdom dare not easily provoke a war."

"The sudden collapse of these two huge pillars supporting the Kingdom of Sophie is undoubtedly the most serious blow to the young Queen."

"The only good news is that my companion, the magic knight Kate, has been able to provoke the burden left by the former Privy Councilor Joe, and the timely return of our mentor, Princess Chrissy, has wiped out those entrenched in the upper class, Kat The lackeys and traitors arranged by the Aoqi people put down the rebellion that almost completely overturned the kingdom of Sophie."

"Because of this, the young Her Majesty the Queen no longer intends to adopt a weak policy of compromise. Even if the Kingdom of Montita does not ask us for help, Her Majesty the Queen intends to launch an all-out war against the Kingdom of Kaoqi in the near future."

"Are you standing on Her Majesty's side and fighting for the survival and dignity of the Kingdom of Sophie?"

"Or stand on the side of the Kaoqi Kingdom, trying to obstruct the war like those two guys? The power of choice is in your hands."

Jerry has maintained that standard businessman's smile from the beginning to the end, but at this moment, no one else can smile except him.

Everyone here is a very shrewd and experienced person, so they can naturally hear the meaning of what this person who is known as one of the four sages said.

Although it is said that the choice is in their hands, but seeing the situation in front of them, how could there be a second choice?

Not standing on the Queen's side, not agreeing to form an alliance with the Montita Kingdom, means obstructing the war.It also means that standing on the side of the Kaoqi Kingdom is treason.

These upstart businessmen naturally know very well how they occupy these positions.They definitely don't want to be one of those who are hung high on the gallows.

Anxiety about the possible loss of wealth and profit as a result of the war was immediately replaced by the fear of death.

As soon as they understood all this, those merchants immediately swore an oath to unconditionally support the decision made by the young Her Majesty the Queen.

Seeing those merchants showing their incomparable loyalty at this moment, Jerry felt quite proud. This feeling of having power in his hands and controlling everything from above is really very comfortable.

He felt more and more that he had indeed made the right bet at the beginning, and he did not hesitate to be ridiculed and ridiculed by Kate and Bertina. It was indeed an extremely wise and decisive choice for the lover's cousin of Bain Lecco to be his teacher.

Jerry is very grateful for his sobriety and reason at the moment. He was not dragged down by the fame of the four sages, and he was still able to clearly know his bottom line. This obviously enabled him to stand on the pinnacle of his life at this moment. The most critical point.

Although he is one of the four sages, he knows that the reason why he can be listed is definitely because of the glory of Kate and Bertina.

With his ability, not to mention being compared with Enleco, who is now unattainable and whose strength is almost as close as that of Princess Kris, even the abilities of Kate and Bertina are beyond his reach.

With that terrifying princess, he was the only one who missed the opportunity and didn't learn any skills. Sometimes, he really regretted it, but when he thought back to the beginning, Enleco and Kate had a narrow escape, wandering around every day. The scene on the edge of hell made him give up the idea of ​​joining His Highness the Eldest Princess again in an instant.

But watching Enleco, Bertina, and Kate flourish one by one, Jerry felt uncomfortable for a while.

He also hopes that he can be as prominent as his companions, and his reputation will spread far and wide.

But he is also very clear that whether it is Enleco, Bertina, or Kate, their immortal reputation comes entirely from their efforts and strength.

Jerry is quite self-aware of himself, and knows his own strength, so he is not worthy to be listed among the four sages with the other three.

Because of this, he is extremely eager to find opportunities to reflect his value.

And the appearance of Princess Xiling undoubtedly gave him the opportunity he had been longing for for a long time.

In fact, when he first learned about the princess, he had a premonition that he was very suitable to learn her efficient, vicious and secretive strategies.

Because of this, he did not hesitate to abandon his dignity and worship this companion's lover as his teacher.

At this moment, Jerry is quite proud of his decisive decision at the beginning.

At the same time, he also made up his mind to make some further achievements, so that everyone can see his advantages and value.

He does not place unrealistic hopes, he wants to be praised by the world like Enleco, Bertina and Kate, he only hopes to be worthy of the title of one of the four sages.

Thinking of this, Jerry showed that businessman-like smile again.

"Everyone, I have a speech from the bottom of my heart that I want to share with you. I wonder if you would like to listen to it."

He glanced around, and he was quite satisfied with the expressions of the businessmen.

"You must have seen that the young Her Majesty the Queen intends to abandon the traditional methods of the past. Because of this, she came here, to this city full of vigor and hope in her opinion."

"The capital city in the past was obviously not a stage for her to show off. There were too many constraints and tripwires there. Because of this, the capital city has been abandoned by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"If she can really realize her wishes and ambitions here, I think you will never doubt that this city where you are rooted here will become the new center of the Sophie Kingdom."

"You must all be smart people, and you should be very clear about what your hometown becoming the center of the kingdom will bring you."

"Just now Idete was full of interests and wealth, but I didn't see where the interests and wealth he said were, but if Xinna became the center of the Sophie Kingdom, I don't know who among you You don't see the huge benefits hidden in it."

"I'm sure you don't think I'm talking nonsense!" Having said that, Jerry stopped and glanced at the businessmen around him.

The expressions on the faces of the merchants, as he had expected, pleased him quite a bit.

The most cunning guy among the four sages continued: "But everyone should also be able to see that all of this has a premise, that is, Her Majesty the Regent Queen can make a big splash in Xinna City.".

"And the reason why Her Majesty the Queen abandoned the capital and came here was precisely because she thought that she would be able to find many supporters and allies here, instead of being full of opposition and betrayers like in the capital."

"And now, do you think you can make Her Majesty admit that you are her most loyal subjects, can you make her use you and trust you?"

"I have always believed that the merchants in Xinnai are the most shrewd and far-sighted people in the Kingdom of Sophie, because I used to be one of them."

"But this time I was very disappointed because all I saw was short-sighted and superficial."

"Your eyes only see the loss that may be brought to you temporarily, and you only think that if you lose the battle, your wealth will be completely lost."

"As for the former, haven't you ever thought that these losses are also the most lucrative investment. Once Xinna City becomes the center of the Sophie Kingdom, Her Majesty the Queen only needs to give a little bit of approval and gifts to those most loyal subjects. With everyone's brains, can't you get a good reward from it?"

"As for the latter, the Kaoqi Kingdom has made enemies everywhere, and this time is its last madness."

"What's more, there is a forbidden curse mage who is proficient in three forbidden curses in the Kingdom of Sophie, and he is a native of Xinna. Would he be indifferent to seeing his hometown being engulfed by the flames of war?"

"Besides, the Kingdom of Sophie is guarded by our teacher, Her Royal Highness Princess Chrissy. Even if the six wizards join forces, they will not be her opponent at all."

"Do you think that the Kingdom of Kaoqi can resist the attack of forbidden spells with a large number of soldiers?"

"Have you never thought that once the Kingdom of Sophie defeats the Kingdom of Kaoqi and even invades Vedsk, you who have paid a huge price for this, how much reward you can get from it?"

Everything Jerry said was undoubtedly the most pleasant words for those businessmen.

No businessman is willing to pursue big profits. In a sense, businessmen are the most generous people. They don't hesitate to throw down large sums of money and invest in what they think has potential.

At this moment, Jerry undoubtedly opened a door to the treasure house for them.

Almost no businessman would have any doubts about Jerry's words, because even if it is unrealistic to defeat the Kaoqi Kingdom and invade Vedsk, it is a real lie to make Xinna a new center. Immediate possibility.

Moreover, as Jerry said, everyone here is very aware of the huge benefits that Xinna will bring to them after becoming the Sophie Center.

In fact, they are already enjoying the endless benefits, and everyone here is already deeply immersed in joy.

Because of this, Jerry's words obviously hit their minds.

Let Xinna replace the capital and become the new center of the Sophie Kingdom. Almost every businessman is intoxicated by this wonderful imagination.

All of a sudden, the merchants who woke up suddenly expressed their incomparable loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen Regent to the slippery one among the four young sages with tears of gratitude.

Especially those businessmen who sang with Ydete just now are even more trembling, trying to change the bad impression they showed just now.

In order to free themselves from the shadow of the traitor, and get themselves on the big ship of the Queen Regent, these fearful businessmen did not hesitate to spend a lot of blood to win Jerry's favor.

This one sent an astonishing amount of gold coins as military expenses, that one donated all the food and fodder in the manor under his name, and some people were willing to provide horses and weapons.

These scrambling businessmen made the neutrals who were still watching on the sidelines feel a sense of urgency.

Originally they still had a clear advantage, but now, it was clear that they had no advantage in the wrong camp just now, which was wiped out by a moment of hesitation.

The people who are qualified to sit here are naturally the best among businessmen, all of them have shrewd means and brilliant vision, and the ability to seize opportunities has already become the prerequisite and guarantee for their success.

Because of this, those businessmen who realized that they were one step too late immediately increased their weight to show their loyalty and determination.

All of a sudden, the meeting, which was originally full of quarrels, became a noisy trading place.

At this moment, the only businessman who can still sit there with a smile on his face is the richest man, Mr. Maus.

Looking at the lively scene, he felt quite proud.

Because he knew very well that no matter how much money was spent among these people, it was absolutely impossible to surpass him.

He was more and more secretly grateful for how wise his decision was at the beginning.

Let the eldest son enter the church, let the second son become a member of the royal knights.And the most uplifting one is undoubtedly the youngest son.

Originally, he just wanted to make the Maos family rank among the nobles, but now, this Mr. Maos has even seen a more ambitious possibility.

He is convinced that his family can become one of the most prominent and noble families in the Sophie Kingdom.

And all of this is the result of his planning a few years ago.

Seeing such a fruitful result, the second danmeng sat there smiling happily. The smile on his face at this moment was no longer the professional smile of a businessman, but the joy and joy from the heart.

In a blink of an eye, the autumn wind is already bleak.

Originally, they were arguing endlessly in the streets and alleys over whether to form an alliance with the Montita Kingdom to attack the Kaoqi Kingdom, but at this moment, it has been spread everywhere about how to replace the capital Sophie and become the center of the kingdom.

Everyone in Xinna City seemed to be full of confidence suddenly, as if overnight, even those traffickers had a chance to prosper.

And the place where the wine and people gather is full of praise and laughter for the young Regent Queen.

The fear and panic about the Kaoqi people and the war were all blamed on the instigation and rumors spread by spies and traitors.

All of a sudden, the names Ydete and Axeli were hated by almost everyone in Xinna City. .

Their families were even driven out of the city, and some even said that the two families disappeared into the wilderness not long after.

After letting the two scapegoats bear all the charges, the residents of Xinna City seemed to suddenly become patriots.

Almost everyone is clamoring to contribute to the country.

Donating wealth and unpaid labor has become the most fashionable theme recently.

But soon, another great miracle became a brand new topic circulating in the streets and alleys, that is the huge battleship flying in the sky.

Seeing the huge figure slowly drifting across the mountains, the city of Xinna seemed to be boiling for a while.

Just as everyone was guessing what it was, an exciting rumor suddenly spread from the palace.

The huge air battleship was proved to be the most powerful weapon invented by the Eldest Princess and the little Forbidden Curse Mage in cooperation.

According to the rumors, those two extremely powerful figures are recreating the brilliance created by the gods during the ancient war between gods and demons.

Those huge battleships floating in the air and advancing slowly were used to confirm the huge fortress floating in the air in ancient myths and legends.

Although the difference between the two can be seen at a glance even by a child, the Sophie people, who are filled with joy and confidence, seem to be under the rule of the gods.

And these huge air battleships brought them incomparable confidence.

At this moment, no one doubts that the Kingdom of Sophie will lose to any country.

All of a sudden, both Enleco and the eldest princess were regarded as patron saints by the Sophie people.

At this time, the two patron saints of the Sophie Kingdom were in the city in the clouds thousands of miles away.

For Enleco, these days were full of joy and at the same time extremely difficult, because he had to deal with hundreds of goblins who had just tasted the sweetness.

He was still worried that Her Highness the Eldest Princess would feel jealous because of this, but he finally discovered that Chris was obviously more interested in the blood of the goblin family and the strange hybrids with goblin blood.

Enleco often even felt that Chris really hoped that he could impregnate those goblins, because in this way, she would be able to have inexhaustible experimental materials and research objects.

Because of this, Enleco is doing the extremely happy "coolie" almost every day.

But during the day, he became Chris's exclusive assistant.

Even Chris felt that the war was not far away from them.

The flying boats of the Kaoqi people have already appeared on the border, and the Kaoqi expeditionary force that originally withdrew to the Kingdom of Fertilan also seemed eager to try.

Numerous fortresses have been built on the frontier, and the hawks manipulated by the sentinels have brought back disturbing news. The explosive flames fired by the magic corps have greatly increased their range.

By sacrificing power, those explosive flames can be pushed several kilometers away.

As soon as the news was confirmed, Enleco felt a strong sense of helplessness hit him.

He and Chris had just increased the range of the heavy crossbow to about the same distance as the explosion, but now it has become worthless because of this new discovery.

Given enough time, a re-study might seem possible, but by now everyone has heard the approaching footsteps of war.

At this moment, even if there is still time to perfect their weapons, it is impossible to refit all the heavy crossbows in such a short period of time.

This is not only a huge project that requires unimaginable manpower, but also countless money.

At this moment, Montita's treasury was already stretched. Although the Kingdom of Ledin smuggled some supplies by sea, it was still far from enough to meet the consumption of a war.

Because of this, Cecilia worries about money almost every day.

In the end, these troubles were naturally pushed to Enleco's head.

Enleco has been wondering how the great wizard governed her country recently.

Perhaps it was not because of her virtue and modesty that she abandoned all honor and duty and returned to her bedroom and inner drawing room as an ordinary Montita woman, but because she knew very well that she was not capable at all. Manage a country well.

Enleco felt more and more that the explanation he guessed was quite reasonable, and perhaps this was the truth of the facts.

But this time, it was he who felt a headache, and what made him feel even more headache was that he couldn't find someone to prevaricate and evade.

As in the past, when he felt overwhelmed and couldn't squeeze any wisdom out of his mind, he couldn't help but think of the evil monster Most.

He didn't know if Most had recovered its original power at this moment, and he didn't know if it would respond to his request at this moment, but in desperation, he still had to send a request to the soul contract controller.

The master of the soul contract in the demon world has not abandoned its first believer in the world.

As usual, Most gently poked Enleco's nerves to let him know it had arrived.

"Your traitor always asks me out when you need me." Most said leisurely.

"What can I exchange for your wisdom and guidance?" Enleco, who knew this guy well, said bluntly.

"You already know my identity, you should be very clear that I am also one of the gods, but apart from the kingdom controlled by a family with the same blood as yours, there are very few believers in me , and even many people are quite disapproving of my other identity. The respect for me is far less than that of the equally unpopular Lakdos Kranis—the guy who is in charge of death."

"As my first and only believer in the world, you obviously have the responsibility to work hard to spread my teachings, even if you can't surpass Sirenice Elena, at least you can't be loved by my old enemy Tarot Tenskate is down there."

For Most's request, Enleco really felt quite strange. This guy actually cared about its fake identity that relied on deception. Could it be that this guy really regarded himself as a member of the gods? .

Then why does this guy stay in the Demon Realm instead of looking for a way to enter the God Realm?

But Enleco didn't dare to say all of this clearly, he was already full of fear of this evil monster.

"I will definitely let your believers far exceed those who believe in the God of Wisdom." Enleco quickly agreed.

Speaking of this, he tentatively said: "Actually, it is not difficult at all to make your reputation as the god of the soul be praised and publicized by everyone. As long as you launch a real spiritual storm, you will be covered by the spiritual storm. Now, almost everyone who has seen the powerful power you possess will definitely become your most loyal believer."

"Stryer County is the best proof. There, your prestige is definitely far beyond that of the God of Wisdom, Atarot Tanskate."

For Enleco's proposal, Most was obviously a little moved. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said: "I can indeed make you display a complete spiritual storm, but if you don't worry about summoning some gods If I come to the human world to fight against you, I would like to help you."

Moster's words obviously startled Enleco, and he asked in disbelief: "Haven't the gods already withdrawn from this world, haven't you been accepted by the gods and become one of them?"

Most said disapprovingly: "The gods have indeed withdrawn from this world, but this does not mean that they will never intervene in anything in the world."

"What's more, once they sense that I give you the power to launch a spiritual storm, this world tends to become unbalanced. Imbalance means chaos to the gods, and chaos also means demons."

"This will make them feel that the demons have the upper hand again. In order to regain balance, some of them will set foot on this land again."

"I'm not very sure about the other guys, but I'm sure that Sirenise Elena will definitely appear in front of you. Her temper is even better than that of your wife and teacher, and from other aspects Come on, she's a bit like that girl Bertina who gave you a lot of trouble."

"I believe that when you use the spiritual storm to knock down all your enemies and make all the surviving people become my believers, she will appear in front of you with the divine light."

"As the goddess of life, she will never take your life, but I think she will imprison you in the most intense and pure divine light, and keep you awake and clear forever .”

Moster's words made Enleco shudder, and the goddess of life, Sirenice Elena, was obviously someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"It seems that I can only rely on my own strength, and I can only rely on the wisdom you have." Enleco said helplessly.

"This is the best choice for you and me, and I also don't intend to fight another war with the gods. Mostert said, obviously weighing the balance of power, it can only make this in the end that makes it feel Disappointing decision."

"The biggest headache for you now is undoubtedly money and supplies, and all of these are obviously nothing to that country full of mountains."

"It's just that the land route has been blocked by the enemy, and the sea is full of enemy warships."

"But have you forgotten that there is only an extremely narrow strait between the country of mountains and the nearest place here?"

"The reason why the country of mountains has to go around a long way and dare not cross the narrow strait openly is because the people there are worried that this will give their enemies an excuse to attack them."

"You just need to seize the land that is only more than 100 kilometers connected to the strait, and control the port in your hands."

"The strait is so narrow, without ports and supplies, and surrounded by two sides, the warships cruising in it are simply beasts that fell into the trap."

"Whether they choose to attack suicidally or keep a low profile as much as possible so that they can be safely evacuated from the channel, their prospects are definitely not good anyway."

"If you want to wipe out those warships in the strait, you should make an exception. All the initiative is in your hands."

"However, for you, what is really meaningful is that you can safely and quickly obtain the money and ore you need from the country of mountains."

"In fact, you can even make a list right now and let them build what you need for you. Compared with the people on this grassland, there are obviously more craftsmen in that country of mountains."

"If you plan to do this, I can formulate a very detailed attack procedure for you. In return, you have to give me your little elf daughter."

"I'm very interested in her. She is born with the ability of goblins. She can spy on other people's thoughts. She is obviously more suitable than you to be my preacher of faith."

Most casually threw the bait out, and it waited to be harvested.

This evil monster is very clear that its request is difficult for Enleco to refuse.

"By the way, I can also tell you a secret about Lakdos Kranis. Obviously, you haven't fully understood the true meaning of demise and destruction. Because of this, you can't borrow the real power from that guy."

"In fact, Laktos Kranis is not an ordinary member of the gods. He can be said to be the least evolved among the gods. He still has the essence of chaos in him."

"However, from another point of view, he is the one who has evolved the most thoroughly among the gods. He has given up his powerful and pure energy body, and purified the energy close to nothingness. Therefore, in a sense It is said that he is even close to a demon."

"Because of this, he can manipulate the flow of time in a unique way, but because of his chaotic nature, whether it is flowing forward or backward, the final result is to return to chaos."

"This is the truth of destruction and extinction, and it is also the power that makes even the strongest among the gods and demons unable to escape. Everything returns to the purest chaos, and both the gods and the demons will be destroyed. "

"The gods will no longer have the rules they represent, and the demons will lose all their power. The most terrifying thing is that once the death and destruction happen, they cannot be stopped."

"That is to say, whether it is a god or a demon, as long as part of his power is transformed into chaos by Lakdos Cranis' special ability, chaos will spread to every part of him like a poison."

"This seemingly inconspicuous ability is the most powerful power of the god of the underworld, Lakdos Kranis." Most said leisurely.
