Arcane Linguist

Chapter 294 Granting Roland Kingdom Guardianship

East Lena Mage Tower, Academy Office.

Roland was preparing for the next stage of daily affairs in the tower. At the desk on one side, Princess Rosa was also using the "copying technique" to copy the documents he needed while checking and modifying the wording.

Now that Roland's reputation is growing, the number of things she needs to be responsible for has become visible to the naked eye.

However, Princess Rosa has gradually become accustomed to this kind of work, and she actually seems to be somewhat comfortable with it.

While she was busy with her own affairs, she was still smiling and talking to Roland.

The eyes are full of happiness.

Suddenly, Ta Ling's voice rang in the room.

"Dear Sir Roland, Ms. Rosa, according to the latest news from Savalan, King Arkham XIV of East Lena was assassinated and has been confirmed dead. I hope you will be informed and respond in time... "

"What?" Princess Rosa was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, her face turned pale.

"The king was assassinated?" Roland was also surprised.

"How could this happen..." Princess Rosa was on the verge of tears and hurriedly said to Roland, "I have to go back and take a look."

"Don't panic yet, let me ask."

Roland forced himself to calm down and ordered Taling to contact the Intelligence Department's office and ask the person in charge for details.

The Intelligence Office responded: "Sir Roland, we have just learned about this matter. The news itself is confirmed to be correct, but more details are still under investigation."

Roland hung up the communication and said to Rosa: "Go to the tower to find your brother first, but don't return to Savalan without permission. We'll discuss it when I come back."

After saying that, he left his office and went upstairs to find Master Watson.

"This is bullshit! It must have been done by those guys. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want after colluding with Automedia!

They are seeking death! "

In Master Watson's office, a roaring sound could be heard from afar.

Even before Roland got close, he could already feel the irritation and anger.

After entering, I saw Master Watson desperately scratching his bird's nest-like messy hair, frantically slapping the table, and getting furious.

His disciple Minx stood in front of him with some helplessness, and for a moment he didn't know how to persuade him.

Seeing Roland come in, he was amnesty and said quickly: "Roland, you should also know about Savalan's affairs. Let's talk about how to deal with it."

Because Archmage Watson is often obsessed with arcane research, many things are handled by Minx, who understands the complexities better than Archmage Watson.

Roland nodded, sat down on the sofa next to him, and began to discuss with them.

Archmage Watson also gradually calmed down and told Roland: "Arkham Fourteenth is not the eldest son of Thirteenth, but relied on the support of the Cowlans family to rise to power. Over the years, the domestic opposition has been Being, it was only because of the power of Bolas that he endured it.

I originally thought that I could rely on time to slowly kill those people's ambitions, but I didn't expect that they would still jump out at this time. "

Roland was a little troubled after hearing this: "Didn't you just cut the grass and get rid of the root?"

Archmage Watson said angrily: "They supported Arkham XIV to come to power. They originally wanted to find an obedient puppet. How could they eradicate all the opposition for him?"

That's true, neither the Corens family nor Atrein want one family to be the dominant one in Reiner's world.

This method of doing things is usually fine, but once things get rough, it's like pressing down the gourd and raising the gourd, and you're in a hurry.

Roland shook his head and said, "How dare they do this? Aren't they afraid of Lord Bolas's thunderous methods?"

Master Watson said: "It must be that I received some secret assistance some time ago, and my back has become stronger.

Moreover, do you think the supporters behind them are vegetarians?

It is because someone has been secretly causing trouble that our cost of governing Reiner World will increase year after year until we cannot make ends meet. "

When he said this, his voice deepened: "No need to ask, it must be the group of elves from Automidia who did it!"

Marx's modern colonial theory believes that modern colonization is a kind of capitalist colonization, which is a transformation from primitive and bloody territorial colonization.

However, this transformation is closely related to the development of social economy and productivity, and is not a discovery of the conscience of the colonial elements.

Atrein caught up with the period of transition between old and new colonialism. Plane wars have developed to a stage where all parties are in frequent contact and magic and technology are integrated.

Killing people can only be done (or have already been done) for some relatively closed low-demon civilizations. If they can contact the outside world and draw on the power of various demon gods or other high-demon civilizations, they will have the capital to resist.

You must know that the planes are divided into camps. Where there is evil, there is good, and where there is chaos, there is law. Each has its mediator who tends to be neutral, and the mutual interests are also intricate.

If Atrein could not monopolize all the benefits, it would be impossible to kill all the Reiner people.

Many people in the situation cannot understand this kind of thing, but any Chinese traveler who has received nine years of compulsory education can understand it clearly.

In Baoyu's words, this is the sister I have seen before.

The anti-colonial wave that once rose on Blue Star, the various export revolutions, the decline of the empire on which the sun never sets...

There are shadows of veteran empire challengers behind them!

Roland deeply understands why Atrein wants to switch to a post-colonial model and control capital on the premise that sovereignty and politics are gradually returned to Reiner.

Of course, this is not a discovery of conscience, but an open-handed massacre and race replacement, which is no longer convenient.

Even if you want to do it, you won't end up easily, lest you get dirty.

The "Automedia" that Archmage Watson refers to is an elven empire that is also a high-demon civilization and has a deep connection with the Tinyala tribe.

Based on the fact that they have the same origin and species, they have intervened in the affairs here. For a hundred years, they have never forgotten it and want to compete with Atrein and seize this place.

In other planes, some powerful high-level spellcasters and strong men from other planes are also eyeing this land.

This situation is different from the Blue Star in the previous life.

The existence of extraordinary power has brought many novel things to the struggle mode of the magical world.

I have never seen this sister before.

……

Back in their office, Princess Rosa and her brother were already waiting.

After hearing Roland's words, Rosa did not rush back to Savalan, but waited for his arrangements.

Because she also understands that without the protection of the Atrein people, Silaire, who has the right to inherit the throne, is likely to be assassinated.

Those crazy careerists, since they have already assassinated the king, will definitely not mind sending Silaire away.

But it's not an option to go back without taking his younger brother. The family really has a throne to inherit.

"I have discussed with Archmage Watson and have summoned two squadrons of the mage army to rush to Savalan. One of them will be directly responsible for the security of the palace."

Roland told them.

"Then, let's go back first." Princess Rosa said with red eyes.In Atrein's Mage Legion, a spellcaster is equipped with a large group of followers, and the retinue is an independent combat unit (squad).

Two squadrons means at least two mid-level battle mages, with more than ten low-level battle mages (squads) under their jurisdiction, as well as the mage guards, mercenaries, magic pets, constructs, and magic devices assigned to them. etc.

Not to mention conquering the entire low-demon world, there is absolutely no problem in sweeping Dong Lena.

Roland went to discuss with Master Watson in order to mobilize his troops and gain support.

"Wait." Roland stopped her.

Princess Rosa turned back and looked at him with tearful eyes.

Roland stepped forward and hugged her gently: "Be careful."

Princess Rosa finally couldn't bear it anymore and lay on his chest and sobbed softly.

……

"Damn Automedia!"

At this moment, in a certain city in the south.

Archmage Bolas slammed his staff on the ground in annoyance, with a ferocious look on his pale face.

"Sir, we have locked down the whereabouts of the Dagur Brotherhood members and they are hiding in this neighborhood. Do you want to activate "Detect Chaos" to screen people involved in demons? "

After a while, his subordinates came to ask for instructions.

"Screening? No need to bother! Since we have already confirmed that they are inside, why bother with so much?
Listen to my orders, the first, third, and fifth special operations teams, level 3 "Fireball", 100 wand units, carpet bombing! "

Wand unit is the combat term of the Mage Legion, which means the spell energy of a standard wand (50 rounds).

100 wand units are 5000 rounds of energy, which can cast 5000 ordinary level 1 spells.

Level 3 "Fireball" requires 2 to 5 rounds of energy depending on the casting props or super magic skills, but no matter how you calculate it, the total power is pretty much the same.

This is a standard equivalent.

One round of spell energy is enough to kill a low-level professional who is not a spellcaster, and 1 rounds of carpet bombing are enough to directly level the neighborhood.

The flames, smoke and other derivative damage caused by this are directly a massacre!

The subordinates were taken aback, but the order was quickly carried out.

Because they are battle mages, not arcanists.

With a roaring sound, a large number of fireballs containing flame energy were thrown into the sky, and then fell to the ground at a precisely calculated angle, causing a violent explosion.

This evocation spell commonly used by battle mages is extremely famous. It is an offensive spell that everyone in the magic world knows and has unlimited potential.

Different from its little brother "Little Fireball", "Fireball" has a radius of about a foot. After touching an entity or energy shield, it can explode violently, killing the enemy with the high temperature and shock wave generated by the burning magic power.

Its power is very impressive. Among the low-level spells, it should be regarded as the strongest level.

The buildings in Reiner's world have almost no spell resistance and are easily blown apart.

The magic power formed by the mana burned out of thin air, like thick oil staining various objects. Even metal quickly turned red and then melted.

The billowing smoke rose up, and even if the spell was not mixed with auxiliary materials such as white phosphorus and sulfur, it still choked the people inside.

Some people ran out in panic, only to be hit by fireballs nearby and blown to pieces on the spot.

There were also people who kept crying and begging for mercy, but soon they gradually faded away, leaving only the hunting of flames.

Soon after, the members of the Mage Guards rushed into the ruins and found identifiable badges, daggers and other objects near a pile of charred corpses that were not humanoid.

"Confirmed, the target has been eliminated!"

"Very good, let me know, this is the fate of someone who harbors someone you want to commit!"

Archmage Bolas gave an order and turned to leave.

After everyone left, many civilians from Reiner's World and people from various parties in the city appeared nearby, looking inside in shock.

In the next few days, similar massacres occurred one after another. The Dago Brotherhood quickly became a god of plague that everyone avoided. Even the underground organizations that often provided residences and information for wanted criminals also stayed away from them and did not dare to Hiding something more.

This makes Archmage Bolas's pursuit more efficient.

However, just when the iron-blooded methods here achieved outstanding results, many adventurers, plane merchants, and bards who were not under the jurisdiction of the authorities also spread the news about what happened here.

Domestic public opinion was in an uproar.

Even several high-demon civilizations far away in other planes have made relevant reports.

……

"Shocked, Atrein launched a massacre in Reiner's world!"

"Archmage Bolas has gone completely insane!"

"Who will stop this executioner?"

"The Automedia Empire paid close attention to this incident and expressed its strong condemnation..."

"Lellingforth said that Art Lain must ask the Archmage to calm down..."

"Our Lady of Mercy expressed its willingness to provide humanitarian relief to Reiner World..."

At Lain Mage Tower, Arcane Committee, small meeting room.

Antonia and several archmages looked at the relevant reports with their brows furrowed and confused.

"This Bolas! I've given you many orders before to calm down, but I didn't expect it to go too far."

"The Cowlans family has always been the local emperor over there. This is a time for them to return to their true nature."

But after all, the arcane committee members didn't seem to have any intention of blaming Bolas.

Rather than massacring the civilians themselves, they were more dissatisfied with the fact that Bolas had become a little disobedient after losing his son.

"Boras is angry and is being swayed by his emotions. Master Watson's disciples are unworthy and the school is doubtful. It is really difficult for him to take on a big job. Holmes is old, and it is already good to be able to take care of Silena..."

Counting over and over again, they found that they didn't have many capable people available in Reiner's world.

It's okay to send new archmages or high-level mages there, but other colonies or the mainland will lack the corresponding power.

"It seems that we have to let Roland give it a try...

Grant him the guardianship of the kingdom of East Lena and exercise the power of the governor!

All twelve squadrons belonging to the Governor's Mansion have also been assigned to him. He must control the handover of the throne and maintain the stability of the situation! "

Antonia thought carefully and chose to add more burdens to Roland.
