Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

According to the reality, the two people have long been like that, but what Xia En recognizes is only "couple" and "lover". The word "wife" has always been used by Zhou Lingke when joking, but Xia En never said Pass.According to what he said, because of family reasons, he is full of distrust towards husband and wife.

At the end of the meeting, the two were about to leave with the others, but they were stopped halfway, and the two remembered what Master Polivi said before.Zhou Lingke refused at the time, because Master Bolivi, an archmage, is not only superior to other mages in terms of status, as he knew from the last battle in Blackstone Castle, the archmage also has the responsibility of commanding the battlefield and cooperating with mages and the army. .In addition, he also has a high political status.Zhou Lingke is very self-aware. As an ordinary person who only thinks about his wife and children, he thinks it is more appropriate to continue to be his "senior technician".Xia En didn't say anything at the time, because he also agreed, but Xia En's evaluation in the bottom of his heart was higher than Zhou Lingke's evaluation of himself. Xia En felt that Zhou Lingke would definitely be able to learn anything he wanted to learn, even if politics required talent, but as a The strength of the Lich is against the sky (although it has not been fully excavated), he only needs one move-convincing people with strength!However, he didn't want Zhou Lingke to turn into a domineering and cool big boss, that would be of no benefit to either of them.

Neither of the two wanted to go, but they also knew that no matter whether it was the idea of ​​Master Bolivi or the little king, they were definitely out of good intentions, and convincing people with force did not mean that they could easily sinners, especially These are people with whom they already have a good relationship.

Looking at each other, the two followed suit.

What they were taken to was a small drawing room—not the kind of audience hall where the hierarchy is clearly shown through the furnishings of the furniture, it was like an ordinary nobleman's drawing room, with comfortable benches and full of Large platters of fruit, and vases of fresh flowers.Of course, the young His Majesty the King was sitting on the main seat. He had already changed into a vigorous hunting suit, and there was no one else here except him.

"Teacher." Frank greeted Zhou Lingke happily, but when he looked at Xia En, his eyes were a little complicated, of course not the jealous one, he was obviously just hesitating what to call his teacher's lover, there is no teacher's wife in this world This title, Xia En is only Xia En from the beginning to the end, so the people here don't know that Xia is his surname, they only think that he is a commoner without a surname, just like Frank himself, when he was not brought back to the palace, It's called Frank.

"Just call me Xia En." Even if they were facing the young king who had just launched a coup d'etat, Zhou Lingke and Xia En behaved very naturally. They sat down opposite each other with a relaxed posture.

"Okay. Hello, Sean." Frank also smiled happily. Taking back power means not only that he saved his own life, but also those shackles that he broke free from. He also likes the teacher's partner very much. , is the feeling when these two people are together, but unfortunately, it is not the time to completely indulge, "Teacher, I heard that you agreed to go to Qika."

"Yes, I agree. But regarding some of the details, I want to go back on my word, and I will take Sean with me."

"Actually, you don't have to go." Frank tilted his head, and smiled at Zhou Lingke and Xia En, "Even if we want to fight, we should fight for recklessness. Why are you running around for Qika?"

"Frank, you don't need to take care of me like this, I can..."

"No, no, teacher." Frank laughed harder, "Forgive me for interrupting you, but Chika is going to fight, and she has made such great efforts to recruit war beasts and armies from neighboring countries, which is obviously a big deal. It's not a small war, so when the time comes, will they still have time to take care of the dependent countries?"

Both Zhou Lingke and Xia En were obviously stunned by the young monarch's words. Although his words were few, they contained a lot of meaning.

"Are you going to start a war at that time?"

"Yes, let's go to war!" Frank's eyes were shining, "I think you must be curious about how I got so many army support? What I said just now is the reason. This is from when my father was about to die. , will bury the hidden danger.”

In the Battle of Black Rock Fort, Mang Tan obviously won a big victory, but he wanted to surrender to Qika and pay tribute every year.Although they did not release the captives of other countries, they used those captives in exchange for a large amount of money according to the usual rules, and they also had the rewards that everyone should have.In fact, from a political point of view, Mang Tan has gained benefits, and if he manages it well, he will be able to achieve peace within ten or even decades.But... this is a huge shame for soldiers!

It has lasted for 500 years since the establishment of the Mangtan system by the saints. Although they are still small countries, the Mangtan soldiers and civilians raised from generation to generation are full of pride and passion than the soldiers and civilians of any country. , and self-esteem.In the choice between dying straight up and crawling on the knees, only one out of a thousand soldiers chooses the latter, and the probability of the public is only a little more limited.Especially some time ago, the hijacking of the tribute car by Kados intensified this point.These people received pensions and rewards from Mangtan and Qika at the same time, but to be honest, it was a great shame for other soldiers.Although if it was their turn, they would also make this choice, but those soldiers and laborers did not die to protect the land and people of their country, they died to protect the tribute, it's like... …The mouse chooses to commit suicide by taking poison in order to prevent itself from being eaten by other cats except the owner, which is ridiculous and sad...

What Prince Zoe wants is stability, because he has been vacillating between a coup.All the old ministers in charge also want stability, even the royalist master Polivi, some have lost their youthful vigor, some are for Prince Zoe, and some People feel that peace is more important than anything else.

Everyone ignored the turbulent undercurrent under the seemingly solid ice, only the young king in front of him noticed it and took advantage of it.

"However, if we refuse, what if Qika decides to deal with Mangtan first before going to war?" Shane asked.

"I've thought about this too, and the result after thinking about it is... give Kados the 'credit'." The young king squinted his eyes and smiled, "By the way, teacher, can we build another comfort tower? Above the royal burial ground."

"It's no problem to build another one, but isn't the royal cemetery in the temple? It's in the city of Alcindra, are you sure you want to build such a tower in the royal city?" The temple is the temple of the Hidden Eye Church, It is also the only religious institution in El Syndra.The funeral here is also Western-style, and the quality of the cemetery is measured by the distance from the religious buildings.As the most powerful royal family, of course the royal cemetery is the closest to the temple.

"Can a smaller one be built? Limit the influence of that tower to the temple."

Zhou Lingke frowned and thought for a while: "Then I can't build a tower, but I can make a magic device and put this thing in the temple, but this magic device is not self-sufficient like the comfort tower. , after a period of time, it needs to be recharged by a magician."

"Is this magic device movable?" Frank's eyes brightened.

"Yes, and..." Zhou Lingke's brain is now fully used to think about the rationality of this magic device, "Falak, what is the convenient function of the comfort tower that you want to use?"

"Healing, purification and defense, I want them all."

Xia En seemed to have noticed something, but he didn't say much. Instead, he took a piece of fruit and peeled it to eat.Frank saw Shane's movements and smiled at him quietly. Shane raised his eyebrows and concentrated more on the fruit.

"If it is movable, the coverage area does not need to be as large as the comfort tower, and the power intensity is also reduced to a certain extent. Then I can actually make them separately, and then..." Zhou Lingke moved his hand twice, Frank said Bian had already taken out the paper, pen and ink, and Zhou Lingke took them subconsciously and began to draw a sketch.Now Sean and Frank leaned over, and it was the first time they saw this thing.As a result, after reading it for a long time, neither of them could understand it (Frank’s alchemy is still in its infancy, at most it is to write down the materials and steps on a piece of paper, and it is not complicated enough to require a lot of drawings), so they both Returning to his seat, Zhou Lingke seemed completely fascinated.Now he won't wake up unless someone pulls him up and shakes him.

"Religion?" A word suddenly popped out of Xia En's mouth.

"Yes, religion."

"The conditions for the archbishop to remain neutral?"

"He thought so." Frank looked at Xia En seriously, "But I just want the teacher to get what he deserves."

"That's more difficult, especially if I don't want to cooperate."

"So, are you willing to cooperate?"

"..." Xia En was silent for a while, "I don't want him to do things he doesn't want to do, but I know that there are some things he must do." As a result, they will become a target of public criticism. No matter how strong Zhou Lingke's personal ability is, when there are more and more local people, there will be a day when he cannot resist.When this matter was put before Zhou Lingke for the first time, Xia En didn't persuade Zhou Lingke to compromise, because the collaborators who were put in front of Zhou Lingke at that time were obviously not so reassuring.Archbishop Candiboya and the others have never had in-depth contacts, and Master Polivi has no understanding of this aspect at all.It's not good to make a choice in such a hurry.But now, His Majesty the King has given them a new choice.

"It's a pity that you can't have children...No offense, I just...you are really a demihuman who can't have children, right? Oh...damn, I didn't mean that...I just think that if you have children, then It must be a good pity, but it is a pity that you can't have children...ah! I'm not accusing, I'm just..." No matter how mature His Majesty the King is, he is naive in some respects. After he sighed, he realized that he had said something wrong , explained immediately, but it seemed that the more he explained, the more wrong he was, so that he was serious just now, and he could even see the unpredictable handsome face, which had grown into a big tomato in a short time.

Xia En hesitated for a moment, and also felt that the atmosphere was changing too quickly, but seeing the child almost suffocating himself, he could only persuade him: "I really can't have children, and he can't, of course he can't." You are an ordinary person, you can tell at a glance... I also know that you are not responsible..."

Peaty!The two men, one big and one small, shut up at the same time.Seeing each other laughing at the same time, just after this inexplicable nonsense, the two people's impression of each other has improved a lot.

Zhou Lingke started drawing in the palace. Pie, who had been waiting for his master to come back for a long time, also moved into the palace, and was obviously very satisfied with the new living environment. Beside him is Sean.When it was time to eat, Xia En immediately pulled him aside.Even if Zhou Lingke hadn't come to his senses at the time, he would still feed him spoon by spoon.When it was time to go to bed, Xia En immediately dragged him to the bed and hooped him with his hands and feet. Zhou Lingke, who couldn't move, could only slowly regain his senses and sleep honestly with Xia En.There is also a fixed time for walking and sunbathing every day, so after half a month, Zhou Lingke drew all the pictures, and when he entered the trial stage, Zhou Lingke not only did not get sick and lost weight, but gained a lot of weight.

"By the way, is Qika's messenger coming soon? Also, I seem to be living in the palace these days?" Seeing the bubbling alchemy equipment, Zhou Lingke suddenly turned his head and asked Xia En.Next to Xia En was Pie lying in a huge nest. Seeing Zhou Lingke reacting again, Pie sat up immediately and said "meow ~" to him.

Standing by the side and looking at a book, Xia En closed the book: "Are you finally awake? We..." Xia En suddenly made a gesture of waiting, and then went to remove Zhou Lingke from the operating table. Pulling over from behind, they just stopped when the door of the laboratory opened with a bang! A few strangers who were obviously not dressed in a bold style were at the door, and they looked at the alchemists who were obviously in use. Utensils, the eyes began to look at Xia En and Zhou Lingke.

"Which one is Mage Nick?" One of them asked. This man was white and fat, and of course he was wearing a very fat robe, which was also dotted with many embroidery woven with gold and silver threads.His tone was very polite, but Keshao was not polite when he opened the door just now.
