Professor of Magic

Chapter 274 Chapter 156 Diplomatic Pressure
"I also hope this is a misunderstanding." Ambassador Nopes said coldly. "Ms. Lin Yuanlin's visit to Fasdi City this time is only for normal exchange activities between magic schools. He has not done anything detrimental to the Fasdi Principality, nor has he violated any laws of the Fasdi Duchy. The Fastian City Defense Forces were so unreasonable that they took him directly into prison without even going through the trial procedures. This shocked me as the ambassador of the Kus Empire, and I strongly expressed my strong opinion on this matter. Protest. The Principality of Fass is trampling on the rights of our citizens in this way, which is openly challenging the majesty of our emperor!"

A series of quick-eyed words from Nopes made Anthony break out in a cold sweat again.

"Master Nopes, you are serious. We absolutely did not mean that. As I said just now, this is just a misunderstanding. The city defense army must have arrested the wrong person."

"Caught wrong?" Nopes glanced at Anthony, dissatisfied: "I took Teacher Lin into prison for a day for no reason, and now give me an explanation for wrongly caught? Do you think I will be satisfied with this answer? Will Mr. Lin be satisfied with this answer? Or... Mr. Anthony, you have no intention of solving this matter at all? If so, then I don’t think it is necessary for me to stay here any longer. Report the matter to His Majesty the Emperor and let him make a decision."

"Don't...don't..." Anthony grabbed Nopes, who was pretending to get up, like a drowning man grabbing a drifting log. "Master Nopes, don't worry, give me some time, and I will definitely give you and Mr. Lin a satisfactory answer. Let's not alarm His Majesty Kus about this matter..."

"Do you really want to solve it? Well, I ask, one: release Teacher Lin immediately. Two: give sufficient compensation to Teacher Lin for the mental and physical damage suffered. Three, hand over the murderer who offended Teacher Lin this time. Four……"

"Wait, wait..." Originally, when Anthony heard the first two requests from Nopes, he nodded repeatedly to express his cooperation, but after hearing his third request, he immediately waved his hands in shock.

"What?" Nopes frowned, dissatisfied. "My request is so simple, Mr. Anthony, don't you dare to agree? Hmph, I don't think you have any sincerity at all. That's fine, don't talk about this matter! I will handle it myself!"

"Wait a minute!" In desperation, Anthony simply hugged Nopes this time. "Master Nopes, please don't be angry, we can talk slowly, talk slowly..."

"What else is there to talk about? I just made three basic requests and you refuse to agree, so why do we need to continue talking? Let me tell you, if it wasn't for Fei... Someone persuaded me that this matter would never It won't be that simple!" Nopes yelled angrily.

Anthony also had a wry smile on his face. Nopes's first two requests were of course easy, but the third request was for him to hand over the people who captured Lin Yuan, and he knew very well that those people belonged to the Blair family.He is just a small foreign minister coordinating foreign relations, how dare he casually agree to hand over the people of the Blair family.

After thinking about it, Anthony gritted his teeth and reluctantly made a decision.

"Lord Nopes, otherwise, I will go to the palace now and report this matter to His Majesty the King. Regarding your request, I will also raise it with His Majesty the King. As for how to deal with it in the end, it depends on His Majesty the King's decision. Do you think it's okay?"

At the end, Anthony almost cried and begged.

If this matter was brought to His Majesty the King, he would at least be charged with ineffectiveness.And when His Majesty the King knows the seriousness of this matter, I am afraid that the punishment given to him will be far more than that simple.

In fact, his decision almost cost him his official career.

"That is to say, you still can't make a decision?" Nopes glanced at Anthony contemptuously. "It's fine to let the king decide, but what will Mr. Lin do now? Should he continue to be locked in prison?"

"Don't worry about this. I'll arrange for someone to release him right now. You just need to go back and wait for the good news. I believe His Majesty the King is so wise. After learning about this matter, he will definitely summon you to discuss this matter together." .”

"That's good." Nopes finally nodded with satisfaction. "However, I hope this time will not be too long. My patience is not that good."

"sure……"

After making a few more demands, Nopes finally left Anthony's mansion.

After sending Nopes away, Anthony returned to the room, suddenly feeling weak all over, lying on his leather seat and not wanting to move.

Although the conversation with Nopes just now was not long and the content was not complicated, the meaning contained in it really made him extremely nervous.If his guess came true, the Fastian Principality would definitely be in disaster, but fortunately, in the end, Nopes didn't intend to take the opportunity to make trouble, which reassured him a lot.

But even so, Anthony was still in a cold sweat.

Feeling the stickiness brought by the sweaty underwear on his body, Anthony sighed, thinking that after this time, no matter how His Majesty treats him, he should submit his resignation to His Majesty and return to his hometown to make peace. Forget it, the little noble with peace of mind.

Being a foreign minister is really exhausting, especially for a small country like him, because he has to face many countries that are stronger than himself, and he has to be careful with every word and every action. For fear of bringing trouble to one's own country.

This kind of mental pressure is definitely not something ordinary people can experience.

"My lord..." Just as he was thinking about how to report this matter to His Majesty the king, Anthony's assistant suddenly walked in from outside.

"What's the matter?" Anthony said weakly.

Seeing Anthony like this, the assistant was stunned for a moment, but immediately replied: "My lord, the ambassador of the Renault Empire is here."

"What is that old fox Pike doing here?" Anthony was a little puzzled, took a breath, tried to recover some energy, and went out to meet him with his assistant.

As soon as he walked out the door, he heard a burst of hearty laughter.

"Master Anthony, long time no see, you are still so energetic." Renault Empire Ambassador Pike greeted him with a warm smile on his face.

"Spiritual fart." Anthony cursed in his stomach, but with a smile on his face, he hugged Pike lightly, and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Pike is so free today, come to my place as a guest?"

"How dare you disturb Lord Anthony when you have nothing to do." Parker smiled brighter. "This time I came here for one thing, Mr. Anthony, I heard that...Fast Emperor's city defense forces arrested a man named Lin Yuan?"

"Is there any mistake!" Anthony couldn't help shouting from the bottom of his heart.

Who the hell is this damn Lin Yuan?

It was normal for Nopes, the ambassador of the Cus Empire, to come to protest. After all, it was within the scope of his duties, but Pike, the ambassador of the Renault Empire, also came to join in the fun, and Lin Yuan was not from Renault.

"Master Pike, where did you get this news?" Anthony asked calmly.

"It's not a secret. I think many people in Fasti City know about it now." Pike said with a smile.

"Master Pike, what do you mean by asking this?"

"It's not interesting either." Pike said. "It's just that Mr. Lin Yuan, I've heard it mentioned before. I know that Mr. Lin has always been a law-abiding person. I don't know why he was suddenly arrested by the Farsi Imperial City Defense Force. I felt a little strange, so I came to ask. "

Anthony gave Pike a suspicious look.

This old fox said it easily, but the real meaning may not be so simple.

If there really was a conflict between the Fastian Empire and the Kus Empire because of this incident, then what the Reynolds Empire should do most is to support the Fastian Principality.

After all, the Reynolds Empire and the Kus Empire not only had a war 20 years ago, but because they are both one of the three major empires in the mainland, they have many conflicts of interest between them, so it is what they should do to hinder the Kus Empire of.

But from Pike's tone, he seemed to be here to support Lin Yuan.

"Lord Pike, from whom did you hear about this Lin Yuan?" Anthony asked.

"It's Dean Rondo, and His Royal Highness Prince Kazak." Pike replied with a smile.

Anthony's face changed, of course he knew who Dean Rondo and Prince Kazak were.When Pike said this, he was clearly telling him that he had the support of these two powerful figures in the Renault Empire behind his visit this time.

Who is this Lin Yuan?This question arose again in Anthony's heart.

"Mr. Lin has had several contacts with Dean Rondo and His Royal Highness Prince Kazak. Among them, Dean Rondo once wanted to invite Teacher Lin to give lectures at Renault College. As for His Royal Highness Prince Kazak, he once sent someone to Lin The teacher sent a very expensive gift, which I think is enough proof of their relationship."

Anthony's face changed again, Dean Rondo and Prince Kazak both wanted to win Lin Yuan over, proving that he must have enough value for them to do so.

No wonder that guy Nopes spoke so harshly just now. I'm afraid that Lin Yuan's status in the Kus Empire is not just that of a teacher of Fenol Academy.

"Master Pike, what do you mean..."

"It's nothing interesting. I'm just afraid that the Fass Empire City Defense Force has arrested the wrong person. If this causes some misunderstandings in the Kus Empire, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for the Fass Empire Principality." Pike said. "As the Reynolds Empire, which has always been in friendly coexistence with the Principality of Fass, it is naturally unwilling to see this kind of thing happen."

Anthony couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Pike's words were really beautiful. On the one hand, he was reminding him that the Principality of Fass Empire could not offend the Empire of Kuss.On the other hand, they directly expressed their support to Lin Yuan, and easily sold Lin Yuan a favor. At the same time, they were still supporting the Kus Empire on the surface, which could ease the relationship between the two empires.

Such a small move can actually involve so many layers of relationships, it's really hard for this guy.

But since Anthony has even dealt with Nopes, it is of course no problem to deal with Parker.

Picked out some of what was said to Nopes, and quickly sent Pike out too.

But when he sent Pike to the door, he saw a familiar carriage approaching quickly.

The markings on this carriage clearly indicate that it belongs to the Maginot Empire.

And Anthony also recognized at a glance that this carriage was the private carriage of the ambassador of the Maginot Empire to the Duchy of Fasti, and of course the ambassador of the Maginot Empire was sitting in it.

"My god... he must have come here because of Lin Yuan's affairs..."

Anthony looked at the approaching carriage, and suddenly had a thought, maybe now he should stab that damned Lin Yuan to death, and then stab himself to death.

One hundred.
