Arcane Linguist

Chapter 298 The Elf’s Conspiracy (Another 6000-word chapter)
"~~! I knew that those~ people from Sinvilla had no good intentions!
Before, he came to ask for help in a pitiful manner, but in the blink of an eye, he was stabbed in the back! ~~~~! "

When the news came back to the Mage Tower, Archmage Watson was so angry that he cursed loudly, interspersed with swear words in Siris.

Bolas frowned too.

The water in this Reiner world is getting muddier.

"It's all because the committee wants to play comprador rule. In my opinion, it's better to slaughter all the Lena people and carry out a large-scale immigration!"

Master Watson, who was in anger, was startled when he heard this: "That's not okay."

Mere land and ordinary resources cannot solve Atrein's needs. What they want are high-end magic resources and imperial vassal guards.

Fortunately, Bolas was just complaining. If he really wanted to do that, he would have done it before when he was governor.

In the end, the two reported the matter and let the committee worry about it.

Antonia also felt troubled when she heard the news.

The staff of the committee said: "Your Excellency, we have just confirmed with Master Roland that the information was obtained by him using the "Prayer Technique". Although there is no conclusive evidence, it should not be wrong. "

"Tell him that even if the spell shows that they are Sinvira people, they still cannot ignore Automidia. The more chaotic the situation is in Reiner, the more beneficial it will be for them. Maybe the two families have united."

Antonia gave an order, but gave an additional reminder after accepting the order.

"As for the rest, let him figure it out on his own."

……

Roland quickly received a reply.

"Headache, what a headache!"

Automedia really cannot be ignored. Maybe the two families or even other forces will get involved.

However, he didn't have time to worry about that much for the time being, and he only wanted to find the high-level mage "Garland" whose name was exposed.

"I still have a quota for the level 7 spell "Limited Wishes", so I can just do it all at once!
It's a pity that there are no personal clothes or used items of that person. If there are other clues, it will be easier after all. "

Roland tried it bravely, but it failed completely.

Even if you use the super magic technique of repeatedly wishing to increase the probability, you still get nothing and waste money in vain.

Everyone watched Roland burn another tens of thousands of gold coins in one breath, and couldn't help but tremble with fear. They all persuaded: "Sir Roland, forget it, this is not the way to spend money!"

Roland then gave up.

But he turned around and said: "What you said makes sense, then let's recruit adventurers from all over the country in the name of the Reiner Authority.

Even if we can't find the other party this time, we'll try to scare him off first and drive him out of Savalan. "

Inadvertently, he contributed another idiom to the arcane world: "Snatch the grass and scare the snake."

"Where do the military expenses come from? You can't pay for it out of your own pocket, right?" Lin Ge made a quick guess and figured out what he meant, but he was still a little confused.

"Since it's in the name of the Lena authority, it's naturally our responsibility." Princess Rosa took the initiative to take over, and she was a little sad at the same time. "It's a pity that the treasury is controlled by the rebels, and the nobles who stayed in the city have probably defected. Got him."

At Roland's suggestion, the Mage Tower sent out notices to all directions, calling on adventurers from all over Lena to join the authorities' army.

At Lain has a population of over [-] million, and every year a large number of apprentices who graduate from the academy fail to enter the tower.

This brings huge employment pressure.

The social structure in which only Dharma masters are respected is destined to lock the path of upward advancement.

In this era, the elimination method of the wizard stream will damage the national strength and is no longer feasible. Therefore, we have to find some other ways, such as letting them become adventurers.

Flexible employment.

The colony is a reservoir that can accommodate a large number of such people. When necessary, they can be recruited to serve themselves in this way. It is simply not very useful.

"By the way, the Arkham Palace also has some influence among the nobles and the people, right? Why don't we just directly support King Silerden and fight back to Savaran in the name of countering the rebellion!"

"This is probably what the Seris language means when a teacher comes out with a reputation." Princess Rosa said with emotion.

"what?"

Silaire, who had received a mage education and already had a bit of a scholar's temperament, grimaced.

He wasn't really interested in being a king or anything.

But now, it seems that it is no longer appropriate.

He has to support Arkham Palace.

So, in the military camp near the Governor's Palace, Silaire hurriedly ascended the throne and became king without the permission of the royal family and the noble council, known as Arkham XV.

There was no decent ceremony, and even only a small part of the nobles in the city escaped, and a straw team was hurriedly built with the support of the Atrehine people.

"You deserve it and so do I!"

Prince Ferrer in the city heard about it and simply ascended the throne and proclaimed himself king.

This may not be so in line with the inheritance habits of Reiner's world, but it is still a necessary means to compete for the right name.

As the news spread, local governments responded, either supporting or watching.

However, the nobles in the city continued to flee, and nearby lords also dissociated themselves from it.

At least in the Savalan area, it is still the base of Arkham XIV, and many compradors have chosen to purchase real estate here.

In the newly built Tyrui City, they resolutely contributed money and effort, completely opposing Feile.

February passes quickly.

After a period of deliberation, nearby lords and the new comprador class who surrendered to Atrein came to surrender with their armies.

In Terry City, Cat-Ear Girl and Trina also arrived.

Roland assigned the cat-eared girl to Rosa as a personal guard, while he led everyone to patrol the army.

They are an army in name, but in fact they are private soldiers and guards recruited from their respective estates, and the number is limited.

The world of Reiner in this era is still stuck in the era of "village chiefs fighting". A team of 20 people is a team, and a small army is composed of dozens or hundreds.

If there are thousands of people, it can be called an army.

The current Arkham royal family still has a certain appeal. They actually asked them to gather more than 2000 people and complete the assembly near the Governor's Mansion in the western suburbs.

A large group of traders, craftsmen and people from all over the country heard the news and gathered to exchange food or various supplies. There were even prostitutes coming in and out of the camp to start a skin and meat business.

This may seem unserious at first glance, but it is actually a true reflection of a period when productivity was underdeveloped.

Thousands of surprises and deep penetrations do not exist at all. The number of armies is often only a few hundred or even a thousand. Being able to draw tens of thousands of people can already be called an epic battle.

How could Roland, a noble Serisian, have ever suffered such injustice?
Two big villages have more people fighting with each other than this one.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems that this is an evil man-made by Atrein.

We can only hold our noses and use these people, and order an immediate attack.

Under normal circumstances, such an approach would be like hitting a stone with an egg, but Roland himself and the mage army he brought are the real sea-fixing needle.

What they feared was the enemies hiding in the dark, and they needed to maintain the fig leaf of the Lena people's autonomy on the surface, so they recruited these people to act as an atmosphere group to prop up the scene, and they didn't care about their strength or lack thereof.

The Lena people had obviously realized this a long time ago. Although they knew they were poor, their morale was frighteningly high.

Prince Ferret's group of elite veterans who had been fighting border enemies and forest monsters all year round were discouraged and were retreating steadily.

However, perhaps because it was so bad, the attack for several days did not occupy a few blocks, but instead killed and injured many people.

Everyone was shouting that the Atrein people wanted them to die as cannon fodder, and their morale plummeted, so they all gave up.

Roland was so angry that he "created" another idiom: "wine bag and rice bag"!
Fortunately, he had expected this.

Taking the initiative to attack is just to test the real enemy in the city who has not yet appeared.

However, the other party seemed to be very calm and had no intention of helping Felie again.

Of course, Fei Lie didn't dare to fight out.

He did not have the courage to launch a counterattack against the mage camp outside the city, which would lead to disaster.

This stalemate lasted until the adventurers arrived from the direction of Tyrui City.

These professionals with superb martial arts or spell-casting abilities are the real fighting force in the magical world.

There was a little surprise, there was an old acquaintance inside.

Jonis, Rabiot and others are here.

Jonis hammered his chest and spoke to Roland amidst everyone's surprise: "Sir Roland, the Jonis Mercenary Group is here to serve you wholeheartedly!"

The adventurers immediately pointed.

Roland knew that he needed his fame to increase his worth, but why didn't he need him?
After all, these fighting men are of some use, so they patted his shoulders warmly and said: "With your help, I feel relieved. Are these the men and horses you brought? How many people are there? Can they be dealt with?" Founding rebels?

If you do a good job, I am willing to give you a 30% increase in price as an incentive for the sake of old friends. "

"Your Excellency, we are all members of the mercenary group!"

"Don't worry, we can deal with the rebels inside!"

"No need to dirty your hands, let's watch us cut them down in one day and take over this city!"

Everyone said with enthusiasm.

In fact, none of them are from Jonis, but now it seems that they have to rely on their names and enjoy the treatment of old friends.

……

"Jonis, it turns out you are not bragging, you actually know Mr. Roland!"

"Okay, you, I even made a mistake!"

After the meeting, all the adventurers gathered around him, shocked.

Some powerful people, veterans, and bosses who were originally able to compete with Jonis also gave up their original plans.

"Everyone, join my team and make money together!"

Jonis didn't continue to brag about his relationship, but said it sincerely.

At that moment, most of the adventurers chose to join on the spot.

But others clearly had other ideas.

"Jonis, if I lend you my name this time, it's worth a premium. How about we split it half and half?"

"That won't work. Mr. Roland trusts me. How can I cheat his money?" "You...forget it, let's join!"

For the sake of money, they decided to endure it.

Jonis had a victorious smile on his face.

He knew that it was impossible for these people to surrender to him at once, but it didn't matter. After the team grew, his power became stronger and stronger, and he would be able to achieve his goal sooner or later.

……

"Your Excellency, Jonis's information has been checked clearly. Although the opponent is an ordinary warrior, he can be regarded as a strong man in this low-demon world.

Over the years, I have made a lot of gold coins by serving the lord, killing bandits, hunting monsters, etc.

Unlike those adventurers who are drunk now, he established his own mercenary group. Through snowballing development through business operations, more and more people under his command were growing. Now he is the leader of a group with hundreds of professionals. After this time, the number of men and horses under my command may be as high as three hundred! "

While Jonis was negotiating with other adventure teams, Roland also obtained relevant information through the Intelligence Department of the Mage Tower.

The Mage Tower is the core facility of the Atrein Arcane Empire. A Mage Tower is the arcane, political and military center of a large area, and has full control over all forces within its jurisdiction.

The first floor of the mage tower generally provides public services to the territory. Functional institutions such as adventurers' guilds and professional guilds are established there.

Therefore, these materials are very detailed and basically restore the process of Jonis's fortune.

Roland smiled: "More than 100, I suddenly thought of an excellent novel idea...it's called Shuibo Liangshan. It's the story of Jonis, the eldest brother of the Jianghu, and his more than 100 brothers. How about it?"

Ringer, Naldo and others couldn't keep up with his out-of-the-box thinking: "?"

Roland is a clever copywriter who tries his best to connect his "inspiration" and "creativity" with everything in the world.

It is not enough to have historical and cultural heritage, it must also be rooted in the local area, so that the magical world believes that it has roots and provenance.

Therefore, he is seizing every opportunity to engage in "creation".

Among everyone present, only Rosa could keep up and silently recorded it for Roland to review and deepen his impression when needed.

……

"Look, that's the Atrein adventurer unit!"

"I know the man taking the lead. He is the mercenary leader Jonis who has participated in the card conference!"

On the streets of Savalan, the people of the royal capital climbed on the walls, treetops, and rooftops to watch the battle between the adventurers and Prince Ferret's army.

During this period of time, fighting has broken out all over the capital, which can be said to have frightened the people of the capital, which has been peaceful for a long time.

But after realizing that these people were only competing for the throne and territory, these citizens who had nothing but behaved calmly.

Anyway, no matter who becomes the king, he will need his own cattle and horses.

It's better to climb the wall and watch the show.

"Boss, there are so many spectators!"

The team members warned.

"I saw."

Jonis held the hilt of the sword, feeling that his palms were a little sweaty.

Damn, I’m actually nervous!
But then I thought, this was a good opportunity to build the reputation of the mercenary group, so I started shaking again, held my head high, drew my sword and shouted: "I, Jonis, am here. Do you dare to come out to fight with the enemy general opposite?"

"it is good!"

The onlookers roared with appreciation.

"What a good man!"

He was answered with a hail of arrows.

"Damn you don't talk about Wude!"

Jonis shrank his head and avoided it in a very graceless manner.

However, the soldiers under his command were very brave. They raised their shields and rushed forward.

Because they all understand how barren the magic in Reiner's world is.

It is impossible to use any enchanted equipment in such a low-magic world. As long as there are some equipment from Atrein, it is enough to ignore most of the damage.

Sure enough, a devastating charge easily tore apart the opponent's defense.

But soon, these brave mercenaries paid the price for their arrogance.

No matter what, Fei Lie is still a prince who is in charge of one side, and he has ace troops under his command.

Some subdued barbarians and giant monsters were dropped on the battlefield, crushing their offensive like thunder, suppressing the arrogance of those people in an instant.

"I can't deal with the mages of Atrein, so I can't deal with adventurers like you?"

Ferrer sat in command in the palace and was in high spirits.

The defeated adventurers were dejected and dispersed, unable to pull them back.

Only now did they realize that forming a formation to fight was not as simple as fighting.

In the end, it was Jonis's mercenary group that filled the gap in the front line and silently shouldered everything.

……

"Humph, what a farce!"

In an unknown dark place, a mage sat in front of a large table, with the crystal ball in his palm showing an image of the street.

From the perspective of this crystal ball, there should be a peeping magic eye quietly placed somewhere in the southeast corner of the battlefield.

This level 5 spell can summon multiple floating magic eyes to detect the caster, playing the role of celestial eye monitoring.

This mage is a blond, blue-eyed man in rich clothes, with a touch of ridicule on his face.

His appearance is not handsome enough, but because of his high rank, he has a self-confident charm. When placed in a place like Reiner's World, he clearly feels like he stands out from the crowd.

This mage is exactly the high-level mage of Sinvela that Roland is looking for, Garland!

Behind Garland, stood several mage guards, who were his followers, composed of rogues, warriors, magic swordsmen, mystics and other professionals.

Each of them has a professional level of mid-level or above. In today's Reiner world, they are also enough to be called true strong men.

"But this is obviously a bait, trying to trick us into taking action."

"Your Excellency, we have found out that the high-level mage in charge this time is Roland, the founder of the Seris School who has risen in Atrein in recent years.

He is a young high-level mage who is highly regarded by Atrein. "

"Roland? I remembered it. Isn't that the genius arcanist that Master August publicly praised? Master August successfully compiled the 'thunder' character in the Seris runes the year before last and successfully used thunder magic. Above the "Thunder Storm" among them!
I heard that they have recently been creating energy-shaping spells such as 'Thunder of the Palm' and 'Five Thunder Curses' based on the supernatural spell concepts included in "The Romance of the Gods", which seems to be a burst of inspiration. "

There was a thoughtful look on Garland's face.

“I vaguely remember a saying from the Seris Language School, which makes sense.

Their heroes are our enemies..."

"Yes, such an outstanding young man will definitely become a great mage or even a legendary mage if given time to grow up."

"The Arcane Committee obviously wants to train him and has left this matter to him."

followers warned.

Garland said: "Ignore him for now, our mission is to disrupt the situation here, there is no need to create extraneous matters.

On the other hand, Prince Silaire of the Arkham Palace, who has the support of the Atrein people and holds the title of righteousness, is very likely to drive away Ferre and regain control of East Lena.

We have to stop this, at least not so easily. "

"You mean...kill Silaire?"

"Kill Silaire? No, no, no, why should we end up doing this ourselves?"

A fox-like smile appeared on Garland's face.

"We just need to provide some intelligence support that they lack, just like we did with Arkham XIV, and let them take action..."

The followers laughed: "That's true, those elves of Automedia are white and coquettish, with big breasts and no brains. Without our help, they really can't do anything, hahahaha."

……

On the other side, in the forest southeast of Savalan.

A place that seems ordinary at first glance, with green plants climbing up and intertwining into a tight net.

A plump, fair-skinned and beautiful elf with pointed ears put his ear next to a flower that looked like a trumpet, listening to the subtle sounds coming from inside.

"White and coquettish...big breasts and no brains...hahahaha..."

"Damn it!"

The fair-skinned elf was trembling with anger. Although it was already August, his complexion was as cold as the twelfth lunar month of winter.

"Artemia, calm down, we still need to use them!
Atrein is still a veteran arcane empire, and it is not that easy to seize Tinyara's inheritance from them. Moreover, even if it is taken, it will require a target of sufficient weight to withstand it in order to quell their anger. .

Sinvela is the best scapegoat, we have to drag them down. "

Another tall, plump and fair-skinned elf who was as plump and mature as a peach put his hand on her shoulder, and his gentle voice was somewhat convincing.

After her reminder, Artemia finally calmed down a little.

She looked at the other person with gratitude: "Di Leisi, thank you, I'm much better."

Di Leisi smiled, but then she showed a hint of solemnity.

"Roland has a green dragon and other high-level mages around him, and he always lives in seclusion. It seems that he has a cautious temperament and is not easy to deal with.

But for the people around him, we still have a chance to take action. "

"Are you referring to Prince Silaire? That pretty boy is quite handsome, completely different from his stupid and stupid father."

Artemia licked her fingers and commented.

"It's a pity."

Di Leisi shook her head in amusement: "We have already used the direct assassination method to completely consume the hidden stakes that were finally cultivated, but when they came to the outskirts and got close to the plants, they gave us another chance.

Of course, be careful to avoid the green dragon, she also has the talent to control plants. "

Artemia said: "I understand."
