The Sword Saint, who was several rooms away, felt another heavy weight on her head, which made her neck feel uncomfortable. She touched her Star Ring in a daze, and then fell into a deep sleep with a silly smile.
Volume 163: Chapter 5000 White Whale, Sword Demon, Sword Skill Opportunity ([-] words)
afterwards
At some point, a purple ring appeared on Emilia's finger.
And before everyone noticed this, Takema Kirie took the lead in raising the issue of choosing the king.
"If Emilia wants to compete for the throne, it's best to find a suitable ally first."
There is no doubt that the five dragon witches today are competing with each other. There is only one throne, so naturally everyone wants it.
However, these five king choosers have their own advantages and disadvantages. Compared with fighting alone, forming an alliance with a suitable king chooser is a good option.
At the same time, this is also a must-have option for Emilia!
There is no other reason than that Emilia is the weakest among the five dragon mikos and has the lowest winning rate.
Except for the guardian of the knight Takema Kirie, there is only one Roswaal L. Merzas left, and this guy is still a sixth-former who has alien intentions and simply uses Emilia. Many times he does not take action at all. .
In addition, Emilia cannot compare with the other four in terms of support from the people of the kingdom, funding, or other aspects.
If you don't want to be the first to be eliminated, it is inevitable to unite with one of them as an ally and help each other.
"Then... Wu Zhi, who is the most suitable for us to choose?" It can be seen that the girl who chose the king was also hesitant. She looked at Wu Zhi Takema for help.
At the same time, Emilia's question focused the attention of the girls on him.
"Of course Curio."
Takema Kirie made her choice without hesitation.
"In fact, among the four king choosers, only Crusch Karsten is the most suitable."
"First of all, Priscilla is the first to be excluded. She inherited the Balière family after the death of her husband, Lep Balière. She is tabooed as the "Blood Bride". But in fact, her original name is Priscilla. Ka Benedict.
She was one of the many princes and daughters of the Holy Flakian Empire.When he was a teenager, he participated in the empire's "Emperor Selection Ceremony", but was later defeated by his half-brother, the current emperor Vincent.Priscilla assumed the identity of her late substitute Priscilla by faking her death, and finally left the empire and came to the kingdom. "
"Her character is arrogant and absolutely confident in her words and deeds. She believes that everything in the world will go according to her own benefit. Working with this kind of woman is an extremely torturous thing. Either you overwhelm her or you have to obey. Her arrogance prevents us from working together as equal partners by any stretch of the imagination.”
Emilia felt that Priscilla's analysis was very reasonable. In fact, from the previous king-selection banquet, Emilia felt that she and the other person were not compatible.
"Then there is Anastasia. She is a businessman who owns the Hexin Chamber of Commerce. She is from the common people of Kalalaki. However, Anastasia owns a mercenary group, and her strength is not inferior to that of the nobles. , coupled with its extensive channels in the business world, firmly controlling the circulation of materials and wealth interests, its influence in the kingdom is also extremely far-reaching.
She is currently among the most vocal heirs to the throne, and by forming an alliance with her, both manpower and financial benefits will be gained.The disadvantage is that the characteristic of businessmen is that they put profit first. If you want to impress them, you must first come up with benefits that can be put on the table, and then you must be wary of the other party betraying you for higher interests. If you don’t have the confidence to hold on to the reins, That would be a risk. "
"The last one is Felt." Takema Kirie shook his head when talking about this girl, "Her origin and identity do not have any advantages, and the family of "Sword Master" Astraea is quite fond of this. Yan Yan is not prepared to help, and the only advantage is that he has Reinhardt, a guard knight who is almost invincible in strength."
"If Reinhardt is not that kind of knight of justice, or even a person who is more divine than human, maybe Felt has a chance, but the reality is like this. This knight among knights will only fight in an upright manner. This For us, force is not necessary."
Hearing Takema Kirie's analysis one by one, Emilia couldn't help but shake her little head and nod.
"Indeed, after all this calculation, Crusch is indeed the best ally."
In fact, Emilia had already heard about this Curxiu, and he had a good reputation among nobles and commoners.
In Emilia's understanding, the other party was a talented woman who had the pride and sense of justice of a noble, and became the head of Duke Carlsten's family at a young age.He has an honest and straightforward personality, is strict with himself and others, and is an upright person.He doesn't even know what compromise and indulgence are, and he is a person who can truly be called a noble.
"The best thing about being an ally with someone like Curio is that before the cooperation is terminated, you can safely hand over your back to the other party, and you can fully trust the other party and accept the other party's assistance. Moreover, the other party's broad support and connections are also valuable of wealth.”
Hearing that Takema Kirie had such a high opinion of Kurxiu, Emilia couldn't help but ask questions while setting her target.
"But, the other party has such superior conditions, what kind of equal bargaining chips do we have to pay to form an alliance contract with it?"
Emilia was in a dilemma for a while. Compared to her, the other party was in an absolute advantage in choosing the king. How should she form an alliance with the other party?
"This is actually very simple."
"The other party has something that must be done, and therefore lacks strong support, and I am satisfied with this."
Takema Kirizhi immediately stood up and took Emilia's little hand and walked out.
"Let's go, let's go to Duke Curio's mansion to visit him now. I think he will welcome us."
.....................
.....................
——The location is the guest room of Duke Krustan's residence on Noble Street in the Royal Capital.
The participants in the meeting were Curio, the owner of the mansion, and her servants Felice and Wilhelm.Plus Takema Kirie and Emilia on the opposite side.
The face-to-face meeting with a total of five people quickly ushered in a good situation from the beginning.
The focus of the meeting was the alliance between the Emilia camp and the Crusch camp.
As for Emilia's current situation and the embarrassing situation she is in, except for people like Felt who have never experienced government affairs, the rest of the candidates for the king's election can all guess it.
"I probably understand the situation." Crusch opened his eyes, looked at Emilia, and said, "Indeed, among the five kingchosen, the conflict between me and you is the least clear. There is indeed no harm in forming an equal front for the time being before the rest of the candidates."
Hearing this, Emilia couldn't help leaning forward and said impatiently, "Then we..."
"Wait, don't worry." Crusch raised a hand, interrupted Emilia's words, and said very simply: "Indeed, there is no harm in forming a covenant, but if there is no benefit, then There is no need for a covenant, right?"
Emilia lowered her head slightly.
Evidently, Emilia had expected Crusch to say that before that.
That is also natural.
"You entered into a covenant with me in order to be able to stand firm and not be considered as the weaker party from the very beginning and be the first to be eliminated." Crusch said bluntly: "However, this is your purpose. And what kind of benefits can I get from signing a covenant with you?"
As soon as Crusch finished speaking, Felice followed suit.
"As far as we know, although the border uncle who supports Lord Emilia is a palace magician, he can support the entire border with his own strength, but that's all."
Phyllis changed her previous playful and naughty attitude and said this with a sharp attitude: "To be honest, in our opinion, Lady Emilia's camp lacks both manpower and popularity. To conclude an alliance with you, except for Ross There is no other advantage except for the strongest magician, Valborder Burg, and Mr. Takema in front of me. Even if the financial management is supported by the Mezas family, our Karlsten family does not lack this advantage. .”
"To sum up." Phyllis said with a smile: "Signing a covenant with Lord Emilia is equivalent to being the only party to give, and we have no benefits. There is no way to talk about the covenant."
Cruel as it is, it's the truth.
In short, there is only one meaning that Crusch and others want to express.
——What benefits can an alliance with Emilia bring to the Crusch camp?
In this regard, Takema Kirie, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"As you said, Emilia's camp lacks manpower. Apart from Roswaal, a magician who is not very reliable, the one who can do it best...is me, Kiri Takema. Branched."
The young man didn't seem to have any mood swings due to the words of the other two.
He was not eager to prove anything, nor was he eager to show the value of his own camp. He just took a sip of black tea and said casually:
"Recently, I discovered that you have been collecting weapons. It seems that you want to deal with some powerful monsters."
Takema Kirie's words suddenly made the whole atmosphere serious.
Both Cruxiu and Felice looked at him at the same moment.
"Miss Crusch's actions were a bit too big, and even affected the market. It seems that she is collecting with considerable momentum. So anxious, collecting weapons outside her own territory. What is the purpose?"
Takejian Wuzhi said vaguely, and finally, under the gaze of the three people, he put down his teacup and said:
"I guess it's for the White Whale, right?"
Crusch narrowed his eyes meaningfully, Felice looked at his master with worried eyes, and Wilhelm clenched his fists uncontrollably.
In an instant, a dark and thick sword energy swept into the room,
A sense of disobedience, as if his internal organs were being stirred by the sword tip, suddenly filled the room. Takema Kirizhi raised his head and looked at the source of the sword energy - the white-haired old man who took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.
"...[-] points, I'm sorry. I'm really immature."
With one eye closed, Wilhelm apologized without changing his expression.
The old swordsman, who caressed every corner of the room with his sword energy, touched the sword on his waist with shame.
"I'm very sorry for interrupting the topic. If you say you need to leave, you will do so."
"No, please stay. I want to hear your opinion."
Wilhelm left the table midway, but Crusch personally stopped him.Then she looked at Takema Kirie with a "Is it okay?" look, and Takema Kirie nodded in agreement.
"So? Saying it is a white whale is another somewhat abrupt word. The white whale you are talking about can be regarded as one of the three great monsters, the "Mist Monster", right?"
Did you take the bait? Zhujian Wuzhi paid full attention to Kurxiu's reaction.
"There is nothing wrong with collecting weapons and wanting to do something big to win over merchants as companions. However, combining this with Moby Dick is always a hopeful prediction. Maybe it's just because I know Beluga whales will appear in the near future, so these are related.”
Kur placed his hand on his chin, looking thoughtful.Then before she made a judgment, Takema Kirie spoke about the danger of the white whale.
"Do you know how much blood has been shed due to the "monster of fog" so far, Ms. Crusch? A caravan that was unlucky enough to be swallowed up by the mist of Moby Dick and cut off from news! Formed for the subjugation of Moby Dick. Yes, the Knights of the Kingdom were defeated before they could make it to the end! It was not uncommon for decades ago to appear near the streets of the village and completely swallow up the residents, making it impossible to discern the facts. The white whale is not just said to be Warcraft."
"It has been elusive for 400 years. It has no fixed habitat and wanders in every corner of the world. Once it appears, it will devour all life around it and is not even allowed to exist."
It is regarded as a symbol of disaster and ominousness. It is like the incarnation of natural disasters, appearing randomly in every corner of the world. It is unpredictable and irresistible. Once it comes, it will be the end of destruction. "
He stared at the girl in front of him unhurriedly and said:
"I think Miss Crusch should know how dangerous the other party is."
"I think Miss Crusch and the old Mr. Wilhelm next to you, who is known as the Sword Demon, also know how terrifying the other party is."
"I have no intention of adding salt to your wounds, but objectively speaking, if you want to deal with such a terrifying monster, the Crusch camp needs strong men like me."
Takema Kirie cast an apologetic look at Wilhelm.
Immediately, he said this as if describing an existing fact.
"The Crusch camp is offering help to Emilia, and the Emilia camp is offering me to help you kill the [White Whale] completely."
"It's an even-chip deal, isn't it?"
.................
The air on both sides suddenly became extremely quiet.
Cruxiu did not answer in a hurry, but closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
She possesses the power of "Wind Viewing Protection" - the ability to see and interpret the real wind and the wind of human emotions without confusing the two.Generally speaking, Crusch can read the surface emotions of others without any difficulty, and has little experience of being deceived.This kind of protection was judged by Crusch himself as a kind of negotiation technique that was ineffective for people who were good at hiding.
And this time after she used this protective ability, she once again confirmed that the other party did not have deceptive emotions.
The majestic girl opened her eyes and looked at Emilia.
"I think the judgment that Emilia's camp does not have strong manpower is wrong. Miss Emilia, your lover and knight, apart from the force of force, is still a powerful person."
Saying this, Crusch extended his hand to Emilia.
"Then please give me your advice on the future cooperation between the two parties."
"Well, please give me more advice!"
Emilia held Curxiu's hand with the same firm expression, and the three of them saw at the same time, the lavender star ring on the girl's ring finger, glowing with a breathtaking luster.
At this moment, even a strong woman like Curxiu felt a hint of envy in her heart.
The two girls then exchanged interests in their respective camps, and each signed a contract.
Until the sun set, both of them breathed a sigh of relief after completing the entire process.
"Your Excellency Takema..."
The girl, who was very happy to have a solid ally, was about to kiss her lover, but sudden words disturbed the two of them from behind.
Looking over, the person looking at Takema Kirizhi with serious eyes was Wilhelm with a straight back.The old swordsman met Takema Kirie's eyes, and the wrinkled face revealed mixed feelings.
"grateful--"
After a brief opening, the old man bowed his knees on the spot.
"I will offer you the same level of gratitude as I offer to my lord Kursutan. Thank you for giving me this useless old body the opportunity to attack the enemy."
"Since the wise Lord Takema Kirie has seen through." Wilhelm ignored Takema Kirie's hesitation and pulled the sword out of its sheath from his waist.He just put his sword on the floor and put his hand on it to show the highest respect.
Then, the name was given.
"In the past, the name Treas in the newspaper was the previous family name. The real family name was Astraea. Marrying the previous sword master, Theresia van Astraea, as your wife was a disgrace to your name. The last member of the Sword Saint family—this is me, Wilhelm Van Astrea."
He continued in one breath, with a domineering radiance in Wilhelm's eyes.
"I would like to express my gratitude for this tenderness by giving this old man the opportunity to fight against the abominable monster that took away his wife."
Bowing his head deeply, Wilhelm felt the strong emotions that were pouring out of his heart from the front.
