Demon Lord

On April 11th, at noon on the second day after the envoys of the Kingdom of Rahiman arrived in the Kingdom of Karen, Charles II graciously hosted this special mission.

It seems to be stimulated by the unimaginable flagship yesterday at the port, and the palace is filled with a tense atmosphere from top to bottom—after being overwhelmed by the other side in terms of military and magic, the royal family seems to be able to start from the banquet. The specifications have come up to recover a city.

All kinds of pure gold ornaments, luxurious handmade carpets, magnificent sculptures, breathtaking dome paintings, the royal family seems to have put everything that can be associated with luxury in order to welcome the arrival of the mission. The purpose of coming out is to let these envoys realize the wealth and strength of the Karen Kingdom.

To be honest, Charles II also wanted to come up with more high-end magic Pig\u003ePig Island novel ww.m items to pretend to be a slap in the face, but after asking the magicians under him, he only saw The group of magicians who are usually proud and arrogant collectively shook their heads silently...

In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and entertain these envoys in a banquet hall that was wide enough for opera performances, and chatted with the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Raciman Houdini with a smile on endless topics.

The scale of the banquet was very large. In addition to Charles II, the main table included a Rosary-crossed bishop, three magisters, and two marquises. Ambassador Houdini sat with five accompanying mages, and they brought another ten The two young mages were distributed on the two dining tables in the side hall, accompanied by mages and disciples from the Kingdom of Karen—this was also a kind of gesture of following what one likes. After all, Rahiman was a mage ruling the country. When a group of monks and bishops are brought in from time to time, they will definitely not be able to talk together.

...Speaking of which, I am also a little curious. Is the monarch of the Rahiman Kingdom a mage?

Your Majesty obviously has some misunderstandings. There is no such thing as a 'monarch' in the Kingdom of Rahiman. We are governed by a 'parliament', with the speaker as the dominant position. Houdini looked to be in his sixties, a small old man, although His hair is gray, but his eyes are brilliant, without any signs of aging. Facing Charles II's direct question, although he showed great respect, he was also full of air when answering, with a hidden deep arrogance.

A council composed entirely of mages?

Charles II raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the magisters on the other side of the table, but he didn't care - what politics do mages know? How can there be time to balance the situation after studying magic all day long?

The Kingdom of Rahiman started with magic, and the members of the parliament are naturally mages, Houdini replied with a smile, but added: Of course, it is difficult for them to take care of magic research if they want to perform their duties, so the strength of the members is mostly It’s not as good as the masters here.”

Although he spoke politely, his words made the three reticent magisters frown slightly—as the top mages in the Karen Kingdom,

Of course, they could estimate that the strength of the little old man in front of them was not much different from their own. Because of this, their faces were tense, and they were not talking and laughing happily like the supervising bishop next to him.

I have a question I'm curious about.

The magister Ring of Mystery Scarlett in a purple robe suddenly said, With the strength of Ambassador Houdini, what position can you take on in the Rahiman Kingdom?

These words were abrupt and somewhat impolite, but Scarlett has always been known as cold. She is not a smooth politician, and she has never considered the possible political impact of this move.

Charles II narrowed his eyes slightly, but turned his head slightly - in fact, he was also curious about this question in his heart.

Me? Before I came to your country, I was just a lecturer at the Academy of Magic.

Houdini replied with a smile, but this sentence made the faces of the other people present collectively change.

For things like gap, the amount of information hidden in one or two sentences is often enough to reflect. The three magisters all pursed their lips, and Charles II also knew that the atmosphere was a bit cold, so he winked and asked the Marquis next to him to start a conversation, and the latter immediately picked up the next topic and said: Ah, that...your country's warship is really Impressive, presumably rare at sea?

It's okay, it's okay, the fleet of the Rahiman Kingdom is currently trying to explore the new continent at sea, and there is no other progress yet...

The topic became harmonious again, but after a short chat, Charles II was surprised to find that the Houdini ambassador seemed to be no stranger to the Karen Kingdom—when he casually answered The Karen Kingdom is now peaceful and stable, Hu Nidi asked directly: Is the orc's offensive nothing more than that? With all due respect, if Your Majesty expects to keep the independent Efta and even Elson City out, that would not be a good idea. ah!

The atmosphere of the dinner was pulled to freezing point again by his words.

The fork in Charles II's hand was slowly put down, and the two Marquis who were smiling apologetically beside him were also sitting there with frozen expressions. Straighten your body.

But their reaction was obviously not as fast as that of Charles II—only three seconds later, the monarch exhaled slowly, and said in a low voice: Then... since you have already made plans, we will not Talking nonsense.

Tell me, what exactly do you want?

*****

The tense atmosphere at the main table did not affect the two side tables ten meters away, because the ten young magicians who followed Houdini had become the absolute protagonists on the two tables.

Their average age is about 20 years old. Although they are about the same age as the Karen Kingdom mages who accompanied them, their strength is basically crushing. It's flush.

This also caused a group of Karen magicians to be depressed at the dinner table. At first, the two sides were friendly, chatting without saying a word. But when someone tentatively raised a question about the spell model, these guys solved it easily, and showed a mocking gesture of you don't understand it so simple.

Most of the people present here are young people, and the mages of the Karen Kingdom naturally do not want to be looked down upon. Except for a few older mages, almost all the mages of Karen under the age of 30 competed openly or secretly, but the result But it made their hearts go to the bottom of the valley - no matter in terms of knowledge or strength, they were simply dumped by three or four streets!

And there is another reason why the other party is showing off like this—the young talents of Laximan who are the most fond of ridicule are looking at the silent female mage across the table from time to time, hoping that their words can arouse The other party pays attention.

There is no other reason, Melinsera's appearance is too outstanding, even if she does not speak, she can become the focus of this group of people.

But no matter how fierce the mages were at the dinner table, Melinthra still had no intention of paying attention to these guys—although she lost the dragon crystal, her body was different from that of a human after all, so she relied on her keen sense of hearing to survive in a noisy environment. The topic of some deadlock between Charles II and Hunidi on the main table is clearly distinguished in the video——

So your country has been monitoring the Karen Kingdom...

...Your Majesty is serious. This is not for some invisible purpose. Since I have made my words clear, it proves that we have no malicious intentions.

Even tell me about Efta's upcoming independence, then I want to hear what you want to use to convince me...

This of course relates to the message that Parliament wishes me to convey to you...

A few words of dialogue made Melinsera narrow her eyes—since she left the glacier plain, she quickly integrated into the world of magicians in the Kingdom of Karen with her talent and became the favorite student of the magister Kroen. However, because of Due to excessive study of magic, Merlinthra has been isolated from the world almost all the time. The life of going back and forth between the laboratory and the library made it difficult for her to receive information from the outside world, so that until now, she discovered this kingdom... It seems that the sky is about to change.

Although the content of the conversation between Charles II and Hou Nidi was very cryptic, Melinsella could hear a lot of meaning behind the words. The ambassador's posture is clearly telling everyone that We Rahiman have been watching this for a long time, and we know more than you think. However, Charles II didn't quite believe it at first. After a few tentative questions, he completely died down, squinted his eyes and stopped asking questions, and instead waited for Hou Nidi's narration.

In this game, the royal family lost more thoroughly than in the port.

What surprised Merlinsera was that when talking about the orc issue, Hunidi took the initiative to talk about Efta and Elson City side by side, which naturally shows that Roddy is involved in it The impact is far beyond most people's imagination.

Are these things... related to him?

While the mages around were competing to perform, Melinsera looked at the dinner plate in front of her, and inexplicably recalled the scene when she looked back at that figure in the ice and snow...

Thinking of Bolan Tulu who faced him side by side, Melinsera glanced at the eloquent young talents in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he shook his head lightly—letting these people who have never been on the battlefield If the rookie goes to face the incarnation of Bolantulu, he will probably die of fright on the spot...

She didn't realize why she was comparing Roddy with them.

But this guy, what is he doing now?

*****

call!

Roddy sat up abruptly from the bed, staring blankly at the front and gasping for breath.

Sweat slid down his forehead, but Rody didn't notice it. He only remembered the orc army rushing in front of him, but he could only hold the longbow in his hand, and greeted the soldiers who were in a state of distress around him like moths to a flame. …

That wasn't a nightmare, the scene he had experienced in The Cracked Ground back then. However, this kind of picture now makes Rody confused where he is - for a moment, he even wished that he woke up in that bachelor apartment with messy clothes and smell of instant noodles, but when his eyes focused on the bed When putting on the leather armor in front of him, Roddy sighed slowly.

Augustine's revenge, the attack of the orc army, the royal family's conspiracy...any one of them is enough to make people worry, and now they are suppressed together, and Rody admits that he has thought of escaping more than once.

The sunlight poured into the room from the window, and the hand-made floor of the high elves scattered the sunlight to every corner of the house, which was warm but not dazzling. Looking at everything in front of him, Rody closed his eyes and slowly recalled that he came to this world Over the next two years...

From being an unknown person at the beginning to now being the Prime Minister of the territorial cabinet, every step of the way is stepping on the bones of the enemy. I have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, why do I have a shrinking mentality now?

He suddenly remembered the phrase the older the river and the lake, the less courageous you are. Looking around and looking at this city of Elson, Luo Di understood that this was some kind of small riches are safe and this is good in his heart. The mentality is causing trouble.

It's no problem in the peaceful and prosperous age, but now...

Taking a deep breath, Rody clenched his fists, and countless distracting thoughts seemed to be shattered by one blow.
