Chapter 809
"Our... Lord Duke of Byrne, is really straightforward and upright, worrying about the country and the people..."
Imperial Capital Golovin, Sky palace.
In the side room next to the Imperial Cabinet, the Minister of the Seal Metternich Leopold holding a glass of wine, staring sharply at the table, which was delivered by the messenger in a hurry, from Byrne On the letter paper of the entire empire, the wrinkled face showed an expression of didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and kept shaking his head:
"I really want to know, what exactly is he Qing doesn't know exactly how much turbulence this letter will cause in the empire, and how intense it will cause damage?"
"Of course he knows, and maybe even this is why he did it." Judge Victor Hughes was coldly snorted, and he stared at the letter with a frosty face:
"Break the inherent situation, disrupt the original balance, take chestnuts from the fire... Isn’t it his usual style? "
Looking at Victor Seuss, who was secretly gnashing teeth and forced to calm down, there was a vicissitudes of smile on the face of the Minister of the Seal.
It is not easy for Victor, who had been disrupted by the imperial trial and even had to personally reverse the case for the enemy, to forgive this "former wizard advisor".
However, Victor’s advantage is that he does not put his personal emotions into work. This is also an important reason why he can become a royal justice...or that he will consult with him.
Loren Torino caught the empire off guard-more importantly, every time the Vault of Heaven and the church were not prepared, they had to deal with the consequences immediately!
The enemy of the empire is actually the minions of Evil God, but the empire was not aware of it from beginning to end, and the response was so slow that resulted in a powerful ducky on the verge of extinction...
What would the princes of duchy think, would they think that the empire has no strength to bless them? !
The bishop of the dignified Eboden Church, the servant of the Holy Cross that was once the hottest enough to scald one's hands, turned out to be the running dog and apostle of Evil God, his hands were covered with blood...
What will the Holy Cross believers in the entire empire think? Will their beliefs be shaken by this? !
The "great and upright" Duke of Byrne did not consider these at all. As an imperial vassal, he did not even consult the emperor himself, so he announced such important news in such a grand manner. Circumstances, the Heavenly Vault Palace immediately fell into such a passive dilemma.
"If it was before, I would immediately recommend that your Majesty arrest vassals who leaked such important information on charges of treason and treason, and directly adopt the strongest means to supervise Fiefdom to deter other ducky. "
Victor paused with a stiff expression, and his cold eyes narrowed slightly: "But..."
"But this time, we can't do this." Mette Nirvana sighed lightly and took his words: "Not only that, because Byrne Duchy used the fastest speed to solve the enemy and minimized the damage caused by the Evil God apostle."
"The Empire cannot arrest a hero or convict him; and we have to commend him and reuse him-only in this way can it be proved that His Majesty Eckhart II restored Byrne to unity and made Loren Torino a duke. "
"Otherwise, you will become your Majesty slap yourself!"
With a low sigh, Metternich raised his glass and drank it in one fell swoop.
The Justice Victor also fell into silence, gently picked up the letterhead, and looked at it.
"Your expression looks tangled...have a problem?"
Meternich's eyes are extremely sharp.
"It's nothing, just some doubts." Victor shook his head: "There is no doubt that Loren Torino used his power as the Duke of Byrne this time, as well as the favorable situation in Poi. We caught the upper hand and caught us off guard; we had to face such a serious problem immediately and had no time to take care of his other behaviors."
"But..." I filled myself with a glass again, and the Minister of the Seal knew that this was not the case. What he wanted to say.
"Is it possible for him to seize the opportunity so easily, doesn't it explain certain problems?" Victor asked rhetorically, his voice calm: "Faced with such a dangerous enemy and a severe situation, the imperial cabinet and even the entire parliament The first thing that comes to mind is to cover up and delay the problem, not to solve it."
"I admit that the empire needs to solve a lot more problems than a ducky, but the strength of the empire is also far stronger than one. duchy; In this case, if the empire can act immediately, it will definitely be much faster than Byrne."
"We have the unmatched Legion in the world, and the invincible giant dragon-Bran The result of this trip to the Royal Highness is enough to prove that even if it is mainly infantry, Legion's advance speed is not inferior; at the same time, the giant dragon can quickly enter the battlefield, and alone can form a powerful battle strength!"
"So all kinds of things, why have we become more powerful, but so passive, that we have to accept a result we least want to see?"
Victor’s voice is deep He's helpless, even if he didn't deliberately show it.
In the leisurely side hall, the two fell into a certain silence again.
"The times have changed, and the situation has to change." Metternich's muffled voice sounded again: "What we are about to face is no longer a time when the twelfth generation is in its heyday, under the emperor's rule. The all influence of a balanced empire."
"New forces are about to rise, and old forces are facing challenges; threats in the north, turbulence in neighboring countries, lurking enemies and hidden dangers within the country all make the original balance change. It doesn’t exist anymore." The Secretary of the Seal of the Seal opened the mouth and said faintly:
"At this time, it is more dangerous than when the empire was founded; because we not only have to fight the enemy, but also have unpredictable hearts. , Self-seeking allies fight, and sometimes... even fight with ourselves."
After hesitating for a moment, Victor gently put down the letterhead.
"So, in this kind of dispute between the parties..." There was a trace of frustration in the judge's voice: "Strategy and strength are the top priorities, and the law is irrelevant. It becomes a dead letter. Does it matter?"
"On the contrary!"
Meternich interrupted him abruptly, pressing the wine glass on the table with a sound of "pa!": "The more At this time, the more you need someone to stand up and maintain the most basic legal principles! The more turbulent the situation, the more you need to formulate certain rules."
"Even if it's just a superficial article, it's just a pretend , Even relying on unwritten rules... is extremely important; otherwise the empire built by the twelfth generation will be consigned to eternal damnation overnight!"
"Stabilize the situation and watch its changes...this is us What we can do is what we can do.” The Minister of Seal of the Seal’s expression was extremely solemn, and Victor stared at each other:
"His Majesty Eckhart, who trusts us so much, hopes that we will do Yes!"
Victor Hughes was slightly nodded, but his expression was still a bit unwilling.
The Minister of the Seal sighed, indifferently said: "even more how, the person who should be most anxious about this right now is not you and me, but the Holy Cross Church; Evil God reappears, bishop apostasy, and then Counting the heretical sect of the Scarlet Blood Castle..."
"hmph …At the beginning, a small wizard put forward the'topography nature theory', which made Innocent Archbishop rage, and he did not hesitate to confront your majesty. Perform heresy trial and fire; this time, I am afraid that he will be killed directly!"
…………………………………………
"More than... he still exists in the world now, and I am surprised that he has not been summoned by the Holy Cross."
Eboden, the nine-pointed star wizard tower.
In the chamber, Corona, the Archon of Eboden and the first veteran of the wizard tower, looked at the letter paper on the table and glanced at Frey, who was sitting across from him, holding a pipe. Swark.
From the appearance of Byrne in this letter, the Wizard Tower also immediately got it; but compared to the archenemy of the Sky Palace, the Holy Cross Church’s anger is thunderous, and the Wizard Tower’s attitude is more relaxed. Many.
It even includes the two people sitting opposite each other in the chamber, and even has several points of …taking pleasure in other people's misfortune expressions on their faces.
"Fresh Walker, you really make me jealous." With a sigh of emotion, Corona, who still did not hide his smile, raised his eyes:
"Isaac · Grantham, Ain Rand, and then Loren Torino...you have what skills and abilities of the old fart, so that all the hopes of the entire generation of the wizard tower are concentrated under yours?"
"Before blaming others, Please wipe your ass clean first!" Fresswalker was holding a pipe coldly snorted, and he didn't give the consul sir any face:
"When some people pry the discipline from me, I didn’t say a word!"
"That’s because you already have Isaac · Grantham, and your Freyswalker school has very few achievements in spell studies, which is not enough to compete with us. Accept mention on equal terms!"
"Really? I think some people use power for personal gain, holding the inheritance of the wizard tower for hundreds of years to contribute to their school; in order to make their faces bright, clear Knowing that the Chamber of Commerce investment is pitted by your own discipline, you have to pretend to take care of Junior!"
"But you also have to see the good side of things-we have curbed the momentum of the Chamber of Commerce. , And established a good friendship with Byrne; how can you understand the importance of a network of ivory tower wizards?"
"Yes, I, Robert Freswalker, don’t understand business. ; But I know that some people’s investment failures are almost bankrupt; if you don’t count ocean trade, your Corona family’s assets have shrunk by one third, right?"
"Even if it is reduced to a tenth, It's also a hundred times as many as your Fresswalker family."
...... The two people derogated each other when you said and I said each other, and the bickering was full of joy;
Byrne The unification of the world, or the birth of the first "wizard duke" for hundreds of years, has a huge impact on the wizard tower and the entire empire; the help to the wizard world is even more self-evident.
Because of this, they will be so happy when they receive the news of the victory of the Centaur War-this signifies that Loren Torino has completely stabilized his position and power and gave Eboden a Potentially powerful allies.
The most important thing is to be able to rapidly expand the influence of the wizard world in the entire empire... If Byrne, the largest duchy in the empire, can establish a complete wizard system and completely abandon the tradition of wizards. Concept, then it will be a huge help to enhance the status of the wizards in the empire.
Of course, these all are things in the future, impossible to see results immediately, it takes more than ten years or even several decades, hundreds of years... But even if it is just a hope, it is worth holding on tightly. .
"I heard that Ain Rand was also in Byrne’s army and participated in that war." Corona whispered: "Halimvan Achamai, he won’t let it go. It’s a good chance."
"Of course he won’t, but I don’t care either—as you said, I already have Isaac Grantham." Fresswalker was very "generous "Head up:
"Twenty years later, three of the twelve schools of the wizard tower are all from Freswalker; when the time comes, even if you don’t like it anymore, my portrait is definitely a show The one in the middle."
Looking at the triumphant Fresswalker still swallowing the clouds and fog, the whole chamber is filled with smoke, Corona slightly frowned: "You go on, We don’t need to wait twenty years before we can see your portrait."
"Four months, to be precise," Fresswalker said softly.
Corona was slightly surprised, and browses tightly knit: "You already have a hunch?"
"In terms of prophecy, only Albert is slightly stronger than me." Resswalker had a nonchalant expression: "After half a month, I will only see you in the hospital bed."
"There is no way to save it?"
"Of course there is. But I gave up-living too long will not increase your wisdom, it will only make you feel further away from the living." Fresswalker murmured:
"I don't want to become an Evil God is no different from a monster. It's better to stop early... Wait ten years, and you will feel the same as me."
Corona looked at him and didn't say a word.
"even more how the arrangements have been arranged, there are successors, the future is promising; what can I regret?" Fresswalker shook his head, suddenly remembering something like opened the mouth and said:
"The negotiation with Byrne...how are you prepared?"
"It was finalized half a month ago, but now it's just ahead of schedule." Corona slightly nodded, the corner of his mouth lightly raised: "It is expected that when Loren Torino returns to the Scarlet Blood Castle, he will be able to meet the gift we carefully prepared for him."
"For two months Planning, and repeatedly negotiating with Holy Cross Church, the Sky Vault, the Round Table Council of the Scarlet Castle, and the Imperial Capital wizard Academy, and compromise, just for this moment..." Freyswalker murmured:
"I hope this Lord Duke of Byrne can understand our good intentions to prepare this'surprise' for him."
"Well, he will understand...After all, he is very smart, and we are It took so much effort." Corona nodded: "And it will be shocked. This is a surprise he can't even think about."
"Of course, it doesn’t matter whether he can be laughed at. ."
"I don’t think it should be possible to laugh."
"Well, it makes sense."
The voice fell, and I looked at each other. The two are really nodded.
