Summoning the Holy Sword

"He really said that?"

The voice from the communication crystal was low and slow. When hearing this question, Mr. Danny hurriedly stood up, nodded his head and nodded in front of him-although the one in front of him was just a lifeless feature. Just the crystal ball.

"Yes, sir, that young man looks very confident, and frankly, I didn't expect him to dare ..."

"He's playing with fire."

Before Danny's speech was finished, he was interrupted coldly.

"Don't he know what kind of development this will bring to the situation? He's provocating against the kingdom of light! Forget it, it's useless to say these now, what does Lydia mean?"

"His Royal Lady did not make a decision, but looking at the current situation, she is obviously biased towards that young man."

"Humph…………"

Hearing Danny's answer, the crystal ball suddenly sneered, and after a while, it re-spoken: "This is also what we expected, but I didn't expect the little girl of Lydia this time. It ’s such a big determination ... Good, Mr. Danny, you are doing a good job. However, since the other party intends to take the initiative to attack, then we must make some changes in our plan, Mr. Danny It's not just that you contact the council this time to report back to the hearing. "

"Yes, sir, as I stated to you before, now that the young man has made a move, I think His Royal Highness Lydia will definitely go to the place of atonement in order to cooperate with his move, although frankly In other words, I do n’t think that there is really enough strength in the other party to destroy the Duke of Demons, but ... After all, this kind of thing is not something I can judge, so I expect the council to send someone to help me deal with this. thing."

"Oh? Who do you want?"

"His sword lord Arashi."

"……………………"

This time, the other side of the crystal ball didn't give a quick answer. On the contrary, after the other party was silent for a long time, he re-opened and asked, "Is this necessary? Mr. Danny, do you want to know you What this requirement means, frankly, I don't think that in the Principality of Muen, besides that little girl, who else is worthy of us to dispatch His Excellency Lan Swordmaster, you must know, if the judgment is wrong ... ... "

"Excuse me, sir, I don't think that young man is simple. Since he has the courage to provoke the council in public, he even puts on a cowardly look. From this young man's usual practice, I think he The possible surname in the bluff is not big, and if there is any situation, it will be more convenient if the Lord Sword of Lan is there ... "

"......... Okay, I agree with you. After all, this plan can only succeed for the council and not fail. The young man has caused us too much trouble, whether he is unintentional or not. Intentionally, he has now become a major obstacle to our plan. This time ... this time, we must find a chance to solve him. As for Lydia ... I don't think that little girl will Turn your face completely with the council for a little nobleman. Remember, if you succeed, if that little girl wants to do something to you, immediately let out the wind, and according to our usual practice ... you understand. "

"I understand, sir."

The magic of the crystal ball in front of him gradually faded. Until this time, Mr. Danny wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then sat back on the comfortable sofa with his buttocks. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the crystal in front of him. Ball, then the corners of the mouth slightly lifted. Until this time, the guy with a pug-like appearance and a pug-like face suddenly showed a fierce expression on his face, as if the hound was squatting and catching prey.

I have to admit that the young man did play very well, but unfortunately, he could not see the boundaries of the royal family of Moen. Otherwise, he thought that our council of light would dare to engage with the Principality of Moen Wind and rain? Loyalty is a virtue, but ignorance is not. The young man looks ambitious and ambitious, but unfortunately he chose the wrong partner.

It is a pity that such a decisive, courageous and capable young junior is rare even in the country of light. If he was born in the country of light, there is bound to be a very bright and bright future. But now he can only fall here ......... because the young man will soon realize that reality is not always as good as he imagined.

Reality is not as beautiful as imagined.

Rhode picked up the black tea at hand, and the seductive scent came out, but at this moment he had no mood to taste it.

"Excuse me, Your Highness Lydia, you should have noticed that this time the Council of Light is coming, and it is not just about the trouble of finding the Principality of Munn."

"I know that, Luo Deqing."

Lydia stretched out her right hand and cut a small piece of buttercream in front of her with a silver knife.

"The arrival of a storm is often without warning. The calmer the weather, the more implied there will be a storm. The Council of Light's calculations this time are very clever, but unfortunately, they are not flawless, just as when When a person wants to throw a heavy punch, he will always unconsciously condense the same strength. This time the Light Council is too hasty and simple for our hearing and investigation. "

Having said that, Lydia smiled slightly, and then she put a small piece of cake in her mouth.

"I think Luo Deqing, you must not have seen the light's council's usual question to me. As long as the mice think they have grasped my slightest handle, they will send someone to move out a thick pile of legal provisions, and then a Ask me questions and ask for answers at the same time-this kind of question usually takes at least one day, of course, the mice are also very clear, everything they do is just making trouble out of reason, but they are still happy Tireless, do you know why? "

"Because Your Highness is Lord of the Principality of Munn."

Hearing here, Rhodes is not a fool, naturally understands the meaning.

"As the administrator of a Principality, such a questioning by the Light Council over and over again like a criminal would undermine the majesty of you and the royal family."

"It is also a symbol of the power and power of the Council of Light.

Lydia took what Rhode didn't finish. Hearing Lydia's words, Rhodes could only shrug his shoulders, indeed, this very aggrieved thing. In terms of national strength and wealth, the Principality of Moon is not worse than the country of light. Although the land area of ​​the two sides may be different, but strictly defined, the area of ​​the country of light itself is not large. Because the kingdom of light was originally a federal state formed by the various territories sheltered by the soul of the dragon of light. In the early days, the territory of the whole country of light was not even half the size of Munn, but at that time the influence of the dragon of light Below, thirteen federations joined together to form the original Dragon Kingdom. After that, the number of lords joining the Dragon Kingdom of Light gradually increased, and eventually increased to twenty-five, which is also the territory of the Dragon Kingdom of Light. The Principality of Munn does not know why. Although they have been loyal to the Dragon of Light, they have never joined this country, but have been hovering in this unique form.

At first, the two sides were at peace, but since the Light Dragon devolved all the power to the Parliament, which eventually led to the complete deprivation of the Light Parliament, this "bilateral friendly relationship" was also declared to be broken, as a country that did not join the Light, but followed The Principality of Moon, the Dragon of Light, is a thorn in the eyes of the Light Council. They have always been afraid that the Principality of the Moon will assist the Dragon of Light to regain power. Therefore, the Light Council also thought of many ways. They used to spend a long time trying to draw the Principality of Munn to join the kingdom of light, because then, they would be completely under the jurisdiction of the light council. By that time, the light council would not be afraid of these guys. What trouble comes.

But I don't know for what reason the Principality of Muen has successively rejected the invitation of the Council of Light, and this is exactly what their speculation has been for the Council of Light. Obviously, the Principality of Muen rejected the Assembly of Light in They seemed to be uneasy. In this case, it is not necessary for the Parliament of Light to be polite to the Principality of Muen-as a matter of course, they chose the last name to forget that they invited the Principality of Muen to join the Kingdom of Light.

In this way, the Principality of Moon and the Kingdom of Light began to fall into a weird hostile relationship. On the surface, the two sides are still in peace, but in private they are confrontational. The Principality of Moon is tribute to the Dragon of Light every year. Give a lot of money in the name, and hit the gongs and drums to make everyone in the world known, the courage of the light is itching, they have been trying to reduce the influence of the dragon of light among the people, but Muen Doing this once a year in the Principality is like tearing apart scars that are about to heal, reminding them of the existence of the Dragon of Light with the strongest pain.

What's more terrible is that they can't do without the money. Although the land area of ​​the Dragon Kingdom of Light seems to be very large in the 25 territories, the rich and the poor are also very different. Many territories chose to join the Rays at the beginning. The Dragon Kingdom is for the assistance of the parliament, but the money of the Dragon Kingdom is always limited, so many times they need the money from the Principality of Munn to fill the fiscal deficit-as a rich Country, the money that the Principality of Muen provides to the Dragon of Light every year is enough to feed three or five barren territories!

Of course, they did not think about offsetting the impact. At the beginning, the Parliament of Light took money in one hand, and the other hand was there to discredit the Principality of Munn, but the Principality of Munn was also not a prince, and soon, in response, The following year, the Principality of Muen reduced the original payment by two-thirds for various reasons.

The Council of Light also quickly suffered. Originally, they believed that without the money of the Principality of Moon, the Kingdom of Light could also manage this financial deficit, but when the Principality of Moon gave the Dragon of Light a third less than originally After the second payment, these officials discovered that the loophole was not filled by them at all! !!

As a result, two territories suffered major disasters and famines that year, and the money given by the Principality of Moon was not enough to relieve them. As a result, large-scale riots and turmoil occurred in those two territories, which caused the Council of Light to burn out . It took a lot of time and energy to reassure the other side, but in this way, the reconstruction and cleanup required funds, but the country of light could no longer make more money, so helplessly, they only had a gentle euphemism. The Duchy of Goodwill shows good wishes --- During the next year's handover, the Parliament of Light held a grand handover ceremony in the name of the parliament. This is regarded as giving the Duchy of Muen in the background. After this, the Duchy of Muen Only restored the amount of money originally given to the Dragon of Light. In order to prevent the situation from repeating itself, the light council can't say anything more from then on. It can only hold its nose to watch the duke of Muen show the existence of the dragon of light once every year, but half a sentence I dare not say more.

However, the relationship between the two parties has not improved, but has worsened. The grand ceremony was cited as a shame and shame by the Council of Light, and they have been proud to have regained the right to read and belong to humanity from the gods of creation. But the Principality of Munn forced them to bow back to an inactive god, which was not tolerated by the Light Council. The Principality of Muen did not relax the oppression of the Light Council in the slightest. After that, they will conduct a grand handover ceremony every year, and tell the people of the Light clearly that there is no money given by the Dragon of Light. You can't even support your own family!

The relationship between the two sides is getting worse and worse, and they have not directly torn their faces to declare war.

However, it seems that it is not far from this day.

While thinking about these past discoveries from forums and game history in his head, Rhode sighed, and then he looked up, looking at Lydia with a serious and solemn look.

"Sir, please forgive me. I have a question and have been looking forward to your answers."

"You want to ask, why is the Duchy of Muen, as a direct lieutenant of the Dragon of Light, sitting idly by and losing his power?"

"……………………"

Facing Lydia ’s smiling question, Rhode did n’t answer, but nodded, although the player guessed a lot on the forum, and even some of them should be the truth. However, he still hopes to hear the answer from His Royal Highness himself. Although he has no chance in the game, now he has another chance.

Lydia stared at Rhodes with a smile. There was no shadow in those eyes, as bright as the sun in June, but I do n’t know why, Rhodes always felt that her smile seemed a little sad.

"Luo Deqing, the vine will climb up the tree, because it has the will to yearn for the sun, craving for warmth and glory, for which it even strangles the trees-but for the flowers of Ling Xue lying on the ground In other words, no matter how hard you try, you can't let it bloom on top of tall trees, because it itself has no motivation to support it. "

"………………what do you mean……………"

Hearing here, Rhodes's face moved slightly. Although Lydia said very vaguely, Rhodes thought he had understood what the other party wanted to express.

"Yes."

Taking a look at Rod's expression, Lydia smiled slightly, and then she reached out and poured a cup of aromatic black tea into Rod's tea cup. Then she picked up two pieces of sugar and put them into it.

"But the Principality of Munn is not just at the mercy of others. The wind may overwhelm the trees for a while, but eventually it will stand up again, right?"

"But it is also possible that the wind is blown down directly, isn't it? Your Highness?"

"This is of course, Luo Deqing."

Rhode's retort did not make Lidia show a slight discomfort. Instead, she stared at the young man with a smile, like a playful girl who was proud of her mischief.

"But when the rolling forest blocks the wind, how does it destroy one of the trees?"

"......... I think I understand what you mean."

Rhode smiled bitterly, and then took up the tea cup-under the action of two pieces of sugar, now this cup of black tea is already sweet and boring, but Rhodes still drink it calmly. Of course, he knew why Lydia did this. After all, as a little baron, he had been a bit rude to question the High Lord before, which was also a little punishment that Lydia had changed to herself. It's much better to straighten up and anger.

"But Your Highness, once someone enters the forest and cuts down the trees, it won't be too long, and the wind will sweep again."

"So I need brave and smart rangers to help me drive out these unscrupulous invaders."

"Is it just eviction?"

"I don't mind if they do too much ..."

Having said that, Lydia paused slightly, then she stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the girl's back. Soon, Rhodes heard Lydia's crisp voice sounded again.

"Luo Deqing, as the chairman of a mercenary guild, you must have faced the bandits and bandits who disturbed the villages and towns."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Then, if you want to completely guarantee that the village will not be attacked by robbers and bandits, what should you do? Just just build a solid line of defense in the village and repel the opponent's offense again and again, expecting those people to know Is it difficult to retreat? "

"Of course this is not possible, Your Highness ......... Once and for all, find the old nests of those bandits and wipe them out."

"That's right."

Lydia turned around.

The dazzling sunlight shone in from behind her, and the shadow shrouded Lydia's face. Rhode could not see her expression, but could hear her voice.

"The mouse that the thief touches is still patient, but if the cruel and cruel dogs come, then it is another matter."
