Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Not long after Princess Harriet left, Weber ordered his servants to close the door and refuse visitors.

He knew that there were countless people in the king who cared about the experience of the five court mages including him in Taqia (Adler) and the attitude of the black mage who directly touched more than half of the kingdom's territory; However, the truth about Takia's collar involves the church, and Yang and the church still have to discuss this matter... In order to avoid offending both parties by leaking the news, Weber could only choose to thank the guests behind closed doors.

As soon as the order was issued, someone came to deliver an invitation letter to Weber.

A gold-plated invitation letter signed "Cardinal Atwood"... The doorkeeper didn't even dare to say no, and trotted sweating profusely to the master's study.

"...It's time to come." Weber heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, Weber didn't need to go back to the capital. Yang had already made a promise to resettle the Rhine royal family. During the siege and defense of Creek City, the Tarantan undead had also proved that this army of undead could completely avoid harming civilians. (Although disturbing the people is inevitable), he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

But out of consideration for some kind of hidden danger, Weber still couldn't let go of his mind, and had to bite the bullet and come back.

"I hope that cardinal can be a simple and crisp character, so don't really waste time..."

Putting on a formal attire in line with the status of a court mage, Weber complained in a low voice with reluctance before going out.

The relationship between the spellcaster and the priest... It is possible to be polite and friendly on the surface, but if the two parties really want to sit face to face and have a deep talk, then neither side can be at ease-the so-called difference of ways does not conspire with each other, The priests who must say that they are righteous gods and the spellcasters who refuse to entrust their beliefs to any gods and only believe in themselves, really can't urinate in a pot.

After meeting the legendary Priest Atwood in the inner city cathedral, Weber became even more certain that he would never have a chat with this man—this cardinal was really close to writing "eyes above the top and no one in sight" on the face.

"I've heard of you for a long time, Mr. Macaulay, please sit down."

In the hall full of gold coin church style, which is a bit more magnificent than the palace of the general royal family, Priest Atwood got up and greeted him politely. A clear nostril shape exposed the unconscious arrogance of this high-ranking priest.

"You're the one who has made me feel like thunder." With a flawless business smile on Weber's face, the villain in his heart quietly rolled his eyes.

After all, he is a cardinal who has been at the core of the Orthodox sect's power for a long time. It is not a big fault for him to belittle a court mage in a small country unconsciously, and Weber can bear it.

Next, the two old men, who looked like middle-aged people on the outside, but were actually quite old, exchanged a few innocuous greetings, and both of them had nothing to say. Only then did we get to the point.

"I heard that Mr. McCauley has just returned from Taqia." After Priest Atwood said this, he deliberately paused, waiting for Weber to pick it up.

Weber: "..."

Well... At any rate, he has been a court mage serving the royal family for many years, and he understands the problems of those who are at the core of power and have subconsciously regarded themselves as power itself.

The more you pay attention to the important things, the less likely this kind of person will express his opinion; and he will always think that others should concentrate and carefully guess what he has said without reason.

Although he understands this stinky problem, but under the position that it is not convenient to offend the other party, Weber can only pinch his nose and cooperate, saying: "That's right, the chief and three other colleagues and I were ordered to go to this place to understand the situation... ..."

Priest Atwood suddenly interrupted Weber: "Is everyone here to stop the unjust war?"

Weber's reaction was not slow, and he immediately understood that the other party was trying to test it, and said immediately: "It's just a territorial war, and the injustice is exaggerated."

Priest Atwood gave Weber a meaningful look. Obviously, the cardinal got the answer he wanted from Weber's reaction.

Weber drank his tea calmly, which he also conveyed to the cardinal on his own initiative—there was only a civil war in the Kingdom of the Rhine, that's all.

With Weber expressing his position to this extent, Priest Atwood can already understand a lot of things.

Yang, the black mage who swept across most of the Rhine land with the power of the undead, has reached some kind of agreement with these court mages serving the Rhine royal family.

Although it is said that these spellcasters who have no loyalty at all will never easily sacrifice their lives for others, let alone fight to the death for someone, but the situation is not yet clear, and they have "abandoned" the behavior of maintaining the employer's position, seemingly neutral but actually "surrendering the enemy" , is still extremely rare.

Considering that the chief didn't even return to the king's capital immediately, in Priest Atwood's view... this can only represent two meanings:

The first level of meaning: Black Mage Yang is indeed no match for the Rhine royal family. The spellcasters who never die for others think that it is meaningless to continue fighting for the royal family.

The reason for this is obvious. The promotion of the legendary Nightmare Butcher and the undead natural disasters will make everyone have a headache. It can't be said that these court mages are greedy for life and afraid of death.

The priests have always looked down on the caster's style of being too shrewd and unfaithful, but they must also admit that even if the caster abandons the battle, he will usually be responsible for the salary paid by the employer and try his best.

From this point of view, the unreasonable behavior of this group of court mages can lead to a second meaning:

The Nightmare Butcher should have made some kind of promise that he would try his best to treat the Rhine royal family kindly and preferentially.

The two layers of explanations were superimposed, and the chief court mage had an explanation before he returned to the royal capital for the first time. The chief must have used his actions to ensure that the Rhine royal family could be properly settled after the defeat.

It can be simply summarized as... Yang and these court mages have reached an agreement to "preserve the Rhine royal family".

And this is exactly what Priest Atwood, who is about to negotiate with Yang on behalf of the church, needs to know... Yang has too many bargaining chips, but the church knows nothing about Yang's bottom line and demands. conducive to negotiations.

After getting the information he wanted to know, the cardinal stopped forcing Weber to have an awkward chat, and the two old men exchanged some nonsense with each other, and politely saw off the guests.

Coming out of the cathedral, Weber, who had chatted awkwardly with people for less than half an hour, let out a long breath.

This scalp-tingling and uncomfortable conversation was the reason why Waver had to go back to the capital——

It was so easy for Yang, the legendary black mage who was difficult to deal with even if the court mages were together, to let go of the Rhine royal family after the defeat, so that everyone could save a little trouble and finally fulfill their responsibilities to their employers; if the Rhine royal family It would be a lot of fun to be on the side of the church.

Generally speaking, the church will not make things difficult for the defeated royal family, but this time, after all, the scandal of the church is involved-if the church of gold coins, which is not a shameful sect, insists on taking Taqia there The problems left over from history are all due to the Rhine royal family, and the troubled royal family who put on this SHI basin will never end well.

After all, Weber is also the court mage who has served the Rhine royal family for the longest time and has received his salary for many years. He can't just sit back and let this kind of bad thing happen...it will be harmful to his own state of mind.

"Next... we have to let the little girl from the Otis family let the third prince go, at least I can't let that little girl really kill Kolov."

On the way back to King's Harbor by car, Weber pressed his forehead a little irritably.

He really doesn't like Kolov, the third prince... He hasn't liked Kolov since he was a young boy.

Members of the royal family are in the center of national power from birth, and they grow up hugged and flattered by countless people; if they are lucky enough to get a relatively high line of succession, they will hardly hear a few reprimands... ...who wouldn't worry about offending the future king?

People who grow up in this environment will inevitably do some shitty things that have a lower moral limit than ordinary people. The list of rules and regulations.

Kolov exposed his stupid and brutal nature many years ago, and it was also because the third prince had aroused the disgust of the nobles and ministers of the kingdom early on, so the second princess would be ahead of him in the line of succession... It stands to reason that the prince's succession The rank should be lower than that of the son of the king's original wife. The current rank of succession is a compromise made by His Majesty the King after the upper echelons of the kingdom collectively expressed their dislike for Korov's succession to the throne.

It was also because of a compromise in the order of succession that allowed Kolov to postpone a position later, His Majesty always felt ashamed of this son and always indulged, which made Kolov even more unscrupulous, tossing civilians and minor nobles Forget it, he actually set his mind on the daughter of a great nobleman.

It’s fine if it’s the daughters of other great nobles—anyway, there are many daughters of great nobles, and there are always those who love and don’t love—but Kolov has a special vision and focuses on Earl Otis as an important heir This kind of stupid and arrogant virtue is really indescribable.

Weber didn't consider keeping Korov wholeheartedly, as long as he could persuade the Odis family to tolerate Kolov's life.

If the Otis family holds grudges to death, then when Kolov loses the aura of the royal family, this guy will not live long...

Thinking about how to clean up the mess for the third prince, Weber ordered his servants to pack his luggage when he returned to his mansion, and planned to go to Cordeburg in person to meet Phoenix to intercede for Kolov.

The illusionist Weber, who was worried about the Rhine royal family, was about to leave, but the maid butler sent by Princess Harriet rushed to the door at this time.

The maid butler who was with the princess before she remarried to the old king as his successor was a person trusted by the princess. After seeing Weber, the maid butler who was also not young gasped slightly: "Please forgive me Excuse me, Mr. McCauley, the princess ordered me to send the news as soon as possible..."

"After returning from you, the princess was very concerned about your last question, and after thinking about it carefully, she came up with one thing... She was worried that this news might be just what you needed, so she sent me to tell you—about It was more than 20 days ago or a month ago, she couldn't remember the exact time, but one day His Majesty ordered people to set up the fireplace in the West Hall, and personally burned many things that looked like letters."

Weber, who was about to go out, suddenly changed the indifferent expression on his face that had been maintained for many years.

From more than 20 days to a month ago—wasn't it the time period when Yang used the excuse to start the war and personally conquered the Taqia Territory? !

"It's true?? Can the princess be sure?!" Wei Bo couldn't maintain his demeanor, and approached the maid butler to ask.

The housekeeper was taken aback, and said in panic: "The princess said, said, said her, she just saw it by chance from the west garden... I'm not sure if the papers His Majesty took out of the box are letters, but because It's unbound pages, and it doesn't look like a newspaper or document from a distance, so, so..."

Weber took a deep breath: "Calm down, ma'am, did the concubine mention that who would be the letter to His Majesty?"

"No, sir." The housekeeper tried her best to answer calmly, "The princess once suspected that it was a letter between His Majesty and... a lover outside the palace, but His Majesty has not been very active in the past few years...so the princess didn't take it to heart. .”
