Arcane Linguist

Chapter 296 Unstoppable, the beginning of blood and fire

The scene was filled with solemnity and suddenly became quiet.

Well, the beauty of the "most beautiful woman in the kingdom" does work.

Everyone felt extremely helpless.

Arkham XIV had been mediocre all his life, but a few years before his death, he made a unique move, intentionally or unintentionally.

The nobles in the Savalan area have long known that the man behind Princess Rosa is Roland, but they don't have many channels to know the specific situation in the mage tower, nor do they know the specific weight of her in Roland's heart.

This kind of pillow talk between men and women is something that one would rather believe than believe that it doesn't happen.

"Your Excellency, Ms. Rosa does have a decisive influence on the Siris School. She handles all the documents between us and the Siris School, and even the Mage Tower."

"Your Excellency Roland has great trust in her. He has entrusted her with many important documents and even participated in the approval of funds worth hundreds of gold coins."

"It's best to consider this matter carefully and not to offend Mr. Roland easily."

Around some of the noble lords present, their children or subordinates who had gone to Atrein to study abroad quickly reminded their lords in various secret ways.

In the few years that these people have been exposed to mage education, they may not have learned much arcane knowledge, but they have all gained access to news about the arcane circle.

This is what they rely on to become high-ranking officials, staff, scholars, teachers, and are highly valued by their lords after they return to the country.

Ferrer frowned and looked at his niece. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable pressure.

This kind of thing is an aura shaped by environment and authority.

The mages of Atrein, even at the apprentice level, are noble spellcasters, enjoying a respected status and super-national treatment that is far superior to other professions.

But unfortunately, the magic apprentice and trainee mage whom the Reiner people respected and envied was a student kid who was not even qualified to meet her. When attending the same banquet, he had to sit at the children's table.

In the eyes of ordinary lords, the master mage of the suzerain country and the powerful man of the upper state are just some assistants and poor lecturers who are running around for funds and positions in front of her.

Even the same high-level mage had to show some respect to Roland in order to maintain necessary etiquette towards her.

Outside the tower, everyone calls her "Ms. Rosa"!
There are no advisors from Atrein around Feier, only two low-level mages who have studied there.

They studied abroad more than ten years ago and are somewhat behind the times.

They really only vaguely heard about this situation and didn't pay too much attention to it.

But after hearing this, he suddenly woke up and quickly reminded Felie in a low voice using the "message technique".

Ferrer looked angry and found it difficult to accept.

"It's just relying on the power of the Atrein people. I will leave my words here today. This throne belongs to me!"

But the others were already timid, and when pressed, they all hesitated and couldn't tell who they supported.

Ferrier or Silaire?
Sorry, I choose or!

In the end, the meeting within the royal family broke up.

After Ferrer left with his supporters, several local nobles who had strongly supported the compilation of the "Leiner Canon" had complex expressions on their faces and politely advised: "Your Highness, this may be an opportunity to be independent..."

Rosa heard Xian Ge and knew the elegant meaning: "Do you think I support Silaire for my own selfish reasons?"

Is not it?
These people looked at her silently and didn't speak.

Rosa explained helplessly: "I know that Reiner has been humiliated for hundreds of years, but there are still some patriots who are unwilling to accept it and want to support a lord like Uncle Fei Lie to ascend to the throne and avenge his past humiliation.

This sincerity is commendable, but now is still not the time. Failure to follow the trend of the times and blindly take things by force is just hitting an egg against a stone. "

"How...how could it be?"

Rosa said: "Do you really think that you can take advantage of this crisis to backstab Atline and seek independence?

Siris has a saying that you have to be strong to strike with iron. I don't know where Uncle Ferret got the confidence, but it was nothing more than a chance encounter or the support of a foreign power.

Without truly organizing local forces and uniting the majority of people, it is impossible to stand up. Art Lain can slap Reiner to death with just a flip of his hand!
I was with Mr. Roland and read some of his unpublished manuscripts. There have been a wide variety of countries and ethnic groups surrounding the country of Seris.

Various Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong and Beidi.

Almost without exception, they were all conquered and flogged by various dynasties and generations. "

There are also scholars among the nobles, and they nodded: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I won't go into details about the small countries outside the Seven Kingdoms. The Three Kingdoms were in chaos and warlords were fighting, but the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Shanyue... All of them have been severely beaten.”

Rosa said: "I think Mr. Roland has great nationalism in his subconscious.

Even Mr. Roland, who is relatively mild-mannered, has the same background as a heavenly state in his heart. Aren't those arrogant people who believe in the law of the jungle even more cruel?

Everyone, struggle is not a child's play, and self-reliance and self-improvement cannot be reckless. If you don't have the wisdom and tenacity to keep a low profile and bide your time, you will rashly put your national strength and heritage on the gambling table regardless of the opportunity, which will only harm Reiner.

If Uncle Ferrer is really allowed to take power and launch an independent war at the wrong time and historical opportunity, it will not bring good results to Reiner, but will only sink him!
When Mr. Roland and I first met, the tribute system he described was almost the only way for a small country to survive.

It was also from that time that I knew that he was a strong man different from other Atrein people and a truly civilized person.

Following the path he guided is the most beneficial choice for us, Reiner. "

Several local aristocratic lords looked at each other and said helplessly: "Your Highness, you are almost ready to convince us.

However, it is also very difficult for us to do. "

"Well, this matter must be done with great caution. Please allow us to think about it for a few more days."

Being based on the local area and supporting nationalism and independence are the banners they fly.

Agreeing with Her Royal Highness the Princess means changing camp and joining the comprador faction.

It's not that easy to make a choice.

"I understand your thoughts. If there are only compradors in the entire country and no opponents, then the country will be completely finished."

A country is divided into many factions, and when the attitude needs to be adopted, people from that faction will be used.

This is a more mature and prudent approach.

Of course, there can’t be too much or too much chaos. There needs to be a voice that takes charge of the overall situation.

Here Princess Rosa learned the political wisdom of Seris from Roland.

Princess Rosa comforted these people, but soon met with several important ministers of the comprador faction.

Most of these people's ancestors were small nobles who made their fortunes through Atrein, and now they are also running various businesses such as alchemy products, magic items, and magic tools.

Mobron of the Capel family is a representative of the recently rising upstarts.

Gaining their support is much easier.

After all, they had bet on Art Lain and supported Silaire from the beginning.

……

“Your Highness, you can’t hesitate any longer!

Those people are so afraid of Atrein that even a girl like Princess Rosa can pretend to be powerful and use Roland's name to scare us.

If they continue to confuse the public with their monstrous words, the soldiers under their command and the nobles who support us will surely become even more hesitant.

By that time, everything will be too late! "

While Princess Rosa was receiving the ministers, on the other side, Prince Ferrer was also talking secretly with his die-hard supporters.

One of the cultural people even said: "There is a saying in the Seris School that 'one big effort will weaken again, and three will be exhausted.' Now that we have heavy troops in hand, and we have the great mission of preventing demons, we might as well defend the Governor's Mansion with the outbreak of demonic chaos." Come in in the name of the royal capital..."

"The throne should be won in blood and fire. Don't be timid and tie yourself up!" Fei Lie listened to the advice of these close confidants with a uncertain expression.

"Once this happens, we will completely fall out with the Atrehine people...

But we are afraid of war, aren't the Atrehine people afraid?

Over the past few decades, patriots of all ages have continued to resist, chaos has arisen, and monsters have attacked the city, which has also continued to consume their military expenses and supplies.

In the end, even the Governor's Office was abolished and returned to Reiner...

Just a little more effort, a little more effort... The Archduke of Arkham's legacy is about to come true!
However, once you take this step, there is no turning back.

Also, the conspirator who secretly assassinated the Fourteenth Emperor has not been found, so it is very likely that he is the real operator. "

Prince Ferret held the hilt of the sword, his knuckles turning white. He wanted to relax a few times, but it was slippery due to sweat, but he didn't want to let go, so he held it tighter.

"Ancestor, what should I do?"

What Prince Ferrer, who was caught in a tangle, did not notice was that a servant in the room had a slightly strange look in his eyes, and gradually showed a look of disappointment.

Obviously, Prince Ferrer has not really made up his mind.

It seems that we need to find a way to help him put the crown on.

……

"The succession is actually blocked?

Should I end up personally?
But Rosa said she can handle it by herself and doesn't need my help for the time being...

Forget it, if something happens again over there, even if she can't send the message to me in time, the battle mages will report it in time.

Atrein has returned its sovereignty. This is an attempt to let them choose their own king. I can control it behind the scenes. If I leave directly, I will go back to the old way. "

In the mage tower, Roland, with the help of the Secretariat, dealt with the many backlogged matters, and suddenly found that he could hardly let go of Rosa.

This time, Rosa was forced to go back by herself.

After all, the relationship between Atrein and Reiner World is no longer the colonial rule it was in the past. At least in name, sovereignty has been returned, freedom has been given, and it is about to enter a new stage of post-colonialism.

Moreover, intervening in Savaran also involves the interests of the Cowlans family, as well as Atrein's struggle with those external forces.

This power of supervision of the kingdom and the power of the governor are really not that easy to exercise.

"Lord Roland, Lord Bolas is here!"

Suddenly, a secretary came in and spoke respectfully.

Roland stood up and walked out from behind the desk. Not long after, Bolas came in.

This is the true form coming back.

The accompanying subordinates stayed outside and closed the door.

Roland extended his hand to invite him, and the two sat down on the sofa next to them and talked about recent events.

"I fully support Atrein's decision, but it is difficult to allocate other legion forces to you except the Governor's Mansion, because not only the Dag Brotherhood, but other forces are also starting to make moves and frequently test them. .

You now have the military power of the battle mages under the Governor's Mansion, but you should not move lightly. It is best to organize an army from the Reiner people themselves to intimidate the lords across the country.

All I can support is the information on the lords of various places that I have accumulated over the years, as well as the strategic map of the country, the money, food, population and treasury account books..."

"It would be great to have these!"

Roland said happily.

Compared to the previous situation where everything went dark, only with these things can I have a clearer picture.

Immediately afterwards, the two talked about the king's assassin.

"Lord Bolas, who do you think is responsible for this incident?"

"No matter who did it, they couldn't do it without disturbing the situation and luring us into trouble. It's obvious that someone wants to drag Atrein into the quagmire of war, or even turn this place into a meat grinder for the empire!"

Roland nodded. It seemed that Bolas himself couldn't see the situation clearly.

But this is normal, the Archmage is just a relatively powerful mortal, not a god.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the tower spirit's prompt interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Your Excellencies, urgent news, the East Lena Palace has been attacked!
Prince Ferrer raised the flag of rebellion 5 minutes ago..."

"what?"

The two were stunned.

……

"What? Wells, how dare he! I only ordered him to keep an eye on the palace to prevent any changes..."

"Your Highness, it is the palace guards who are the first to attack!"

"Damn!"

With Prince Philie's IQ, he didn't know that these were all excuses.

Maybe his subordinates were eager to give him a push.

Someone may fan the flames and fan the flames.

It is also possible that the careerists who assassinated the king are at work again, intent on profiting from the chaos.

but……

Can't handle that much anymore!
Prince Ferrer knew that he could not retreat now. Once he retreated, it would be all over.

"The army is besieging the city. The advantage lies with me. I have issued a message to the whole country. I have become the king!"

……

As expected, a few minutes later, Bolas received information about the changes in the Red Sand Legion and the Black Dragon Dynasty.

Someone proposed a robbery on the chessboard to distract Atrein.

"War is unavoidable. I will deal with them. When you go to Savalan, you must cut the knot quickly and eliminate the signs as soon as possible!"

Bolas hurriedly spoke to Roland and went upstairs to find Master Watson.

……

In the palace of Savarin.

Princess Rosa listened to the sounds of fighting outside, with occasional explosions and roars, and a hint of sadness that was almost desperate appeared on her beautiful face.

She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly and shed tears silently.

But after a while, she wiped away her tears, and the weakness and sadness disappeared from her face.

Instead, there is the awareness to move forward courageously.
