Another day trampled by the witch

"Stop talking about an old woman here, you're not much older than me, I mean human age."

"Huh?" Blinking, Sifni asked curiously: "How old do you think I am, if calculated according to human age."

"It's probably only seven or eight years older than me. Anyway, it's less than ten years old, so it should be about the same age as Miss Sifmi."

"Oh, how old do you think Sifmi is?"

"I think? It's about 26. To be honest, I still feel that it's only 26 when I know that Miss Sifmi has Lida. If I don't know, I probably believe her when she says that she is 25 years old. If you say it, I will believe it." I guess it's only a year or two older than her."

He touched the hot coffee cup in his hand, took a sip, both the taste and temperature were just right, but just when the man was about to put down the coffee cup, he suddenly realized something.

Subconsciously looked at the coffee cup in his hand.

It has been half an hour since the two sat here, chatting for so long, the cup of coffee in his hand has never been changed or refilled, but the coffee in his hand has not had any temperature change , as hot as the beginning, just a temperature that can be eaten.

Is Sifni in front of her manipulating the surrounding elements?She didn't feel the temperature rise, indicating that she only controlled the area around her coffee cup, no, it should be the temperature inside the cup.

This woman is so scary?

I couldn't help being shocked. Although he doesn't know magic, he has followed Lilith's ass for so many years. He has never eaten pork. He has seen pigs run away. Even when Nivier wants to lower the temperature in the room, there will be a very obvious Action, or swing before casting.

But the woman in front of him didn't exist at all.

The beautiful woman pursed her lips, her eyes swept over the man's hand, she could guess what Loka was thinking at a glance, the smile on the corner of her mouth showed that she was in a good mood, don't look at her opening and closing her mouth as "old woman", in fact she has been They are very concerned about age. No woman wants to look old, or be called very old.

Her self-proclaimed "old woman" is actually a kind of self-mockery, or a stalk, because when she was still in power, she often heard children say that she must see the Queen Mother in her life.

Must see the Queen Mother...

Queen Mother...

grandma...

To be honest, after this sentence, she was so worried that she couldn't fall asleep all night. It is true that ordinary civilians have never seen the queen, and children don't understand such things as longevity species. It's childish, so it's okay to call it that. What's wrong, and then Sylphine sat and looked in the mirror that day, frowning.

Since then, there has been a self-proclaimed "old woman".

No matter who hears someone praise yourself for being young, it is a happy thing. I am one or two years older than Sifmi, which means that I look like thirty at most?

Celebrate all day!

During my tenure, I would definitely set off firecrackers to give the other party a raise in salary!

"Haha~ It's good to think so. Speaking of the topic just now, I'm not joking. I really want to talk to you about some things in this regard."

As soon as the words fell, there was only a sound of "clang".

Fingernails tap lightly on the frosted coffee mug.

The man looked at the changes in the surrounding environment in surprise. The feeling was extremely empty and empty. The voices of other people around him gradually disappeared, and even the silhouettes of people were extremely blurred. There was an empty seat, as if the two were forcibly taken out of a certain photo, and even the memory was completely blurred.

Sifni, among the queens of Roria in the past, she is not the strongest, but she can definitely be ranked in the top three, even if she is no longer as strong as she used to be, no one can compare with her.

To be honest, if Zheng'er fights desperately now, there will still be no one in the entire royal city...no, within the entire Roria Kingdom.

Even Lilith and Lilia, the heavenly beauties, are no match for this mother, including her younger sister, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who is also no match for her.

At her peak, she was only inferior to the eldest sister she recognized.

Seeing the woman's behavior, Loka knew that the other party was blocking all external signals. After all, national affairs cannot be heard casually, but this was the first time he had seen such a battle in his life.

"How about it?"

Although the tone was inquiring, after the enchantment was set up, Luoka had no chance even if he wanted to refuse. He glanced helplessly at the head maid in front of him, and he could only slowly think about this sensitive topic.

"I've talked about the form with those girls. I don't know if they have conveyed it to you. In short, this battle is a trap. It is the trap that the Lion King has grasped in the current situation. For them In other words, in the best case, it can occupy a large amount of fertile land, and in the worst case, it will be destroyed.”

"This can't be considered a conspiracy, it can even be said to be a conspiracy, but those girls just felt something was wrong, and didn't fully perceive the other party's intentions. I only thought of it later."

"For the old lion and the necromancer, if they lose, the worst thing is to break the jar. Their kingdom is already severely divided, and the land is barren. Pressure is being exerted everywhere, and the people are quite dissatisfied. Civil strife It was a touch-and-go, and they made the right choice."

"That is to launch a war, put everyone's attention on the frontline battle situation, and integrate the kingdom, and unite as one, because for the common people, as long as this battle is won, they will have fertile land, not to mention There is endless food, at least they can continue to survive on this land."

"Although we are rivals, I still admire the choice of these two old men. They are very courageous. Their kingdom has reached a desperate situation. According to the information given by Nivier, it seems that these two monarchs are quite old. I guess it is These two old men know that they can suppress riots while they are still in power, but after death, accidents will probably happen."

"That's why they chose the most extreme method to fight to the death. If they lose this battle, they will die together."

"Why do you say that, because after we win and completely defeat the opponent, the buffer zone between our kingdom and Nossus and the northern border will completely disappear. If I remember correctly, they regard Roria as their life The greatest enemy is also the greatest shame."

"After all, no matter what, the king of the North is also of Nossus blood. The two are conflicts over who is orthodox. You are different. The conflict between you and them is a conflict of belief. One is the goddess of magic, and the other is belief. Dragon God."

"After losing the buffer zone, it is impossible for Roria to gain any advantage in the face of a powerful enemy who has been recuperating for decades. Any small friction will trigger a series of conflicts, and then continue to break out of war. If it is changed for hundreds of years Maybe we wouldn't be afraid before, but now..."

"Tsk, even if that idiot old king comes back, it probably won't help."

Loka's analysis was very careful, and he analyzed the pros and cons of each country in an orderly manner. Even Sifni gave him an appreciative look. Obviously, she agreed with Loka's calm speech, including herself. .

but.

When the last sentence "the idiot first king" came out of her, the wife's cheeks twitched a few times.

"That...has nothing to do with the previous Queen, does it..."

"It's okay?" Loka rolled his eyes, his tone merciless.

"I know you have served the late king for many years, and I don't want others to speak ill of her, but let me tell you, this mess is the hidden danger left by the previous queen. She has been curled up for hundreds of years after taking the territory of Roria before, what will happen like this?"

When talking about business matters, Loka does not think about any so-called "speech with emotional intelligence" at all. In his eyes, since it is about business matters, he should talk in the most efficient way. What's the difference between those flattering ministers and those officials who only talk on the spot?

"Uh, it's really not thoughtful about the succession of the title, but the previous king didn't have much aggressiveness..."

"That is, it is not aggressive. I have been a tortoise for hundreds of years, and the outside world is in full swing. Our country is rotten inside. The best opportunity is missed, and then I watch the countries around me suck blood one by one, or suck our blood. Strong, how many times did the old lion in the north fight us? There are so many opportunities to directly destroy the country, and only a small price is required. In the end, they are slowed down every time, and then regrouped. Come on, look, now they push their noses It's on your face, who wiped the former queen's ass?"

Speechless.

How could she have thought so much when she was in power back then, she just wanted to protect the land left by her ancestors. As for other areas, she was not interested at all. It will cause her country to suffer greater losses. Compared with the death of her soldiers, she is more inclined to exchange for more resources. Anyway, people can't beat her, so how many times do you come and give away.

That's what she thought.

Then he was generalized.

"Well, maybe the late king really owed some consideration..."

"It's just an idiot who isn't cruel enough, isn't cruel enough to others, and isn't cruel enough to his own people. He has long hair but little knowledge. Even Lilia's irritable character can figure out how to get rid of the troubles. Otherwise, he will face endless harassment. Lilith can also think clearly and act according to her sister's plan, but their mother can't figure it out, why should such a person be a queen?"

"Uh."

The classic opening and spraying link.

"Ignorant and ignorant, let me tell you, the former king of your family copied the system of the Nossus Empire [-]%, do you believe it?"

"Don't believe me when I tell you that those who play in the northern border are nine-rank Zhongzheng. In layman's terms, nobles can die with one ass, but that stupid woman doesn't think about it. They are a family selected after tens of thousands of years. If you have enough background and strength, you can still secure your position without recruiting poor families."

"The question is, what is Loria all about? A group of so-called believers, descendants of warriors. Although fighting is okay, how can you compare with other high-level races? Other families are serious and long-lived species, rare Breed, hybrid, even sitting at home every day can become stronger, and it can be used at any time if you want to fight."

"The ones who inherit the title in our country are just a group of ordinary believers, human fighters, even if they are brave and good at fighting, but after all, no one has such a family heritage for so many years."

"To put it bluntly, you are a nouveau riche. After making some money, you forget your last name."

"As a result, blindly imitating the establishment of other people's empires led to our own country..."

In fact, Luo is quite talkative.

I don’t talk much at ordinary times, but as long as I get serious, I will complain endlessly, especially Sifni’s expression becomes very exciting, white for a while, red for a while, green for a while, and livid for a while, turning into a living chameleon .

First of all, she felt that there was nothing wrong with what Loka said.

It is indeed his own fault, and then the responsibility of the two daughters.

But can you feel the feeling of a young brat going crazy BB in front of you, is he the queen, and you want to go along with him?

His expression gradually became numb.

It took a while before Loka explained the situation in the surrounding countries clearly. Looking at the livid face of the "maid" in front of him, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Hey, she really is a maid who values ​​love and righteousness. So her master must be furious, but there is no way. The former queen escaped reality by herself. It's a pity for the head maid who pays attention to feelings in front of her."

Sip the coffee from the cup and push the cup straight over.

Yes, in front of Sifni.

This move stunned the wife for a moment, and then filled the young master of the Nosas family with coffee. There was nothing wrong with Loka's behavior. After all, the current wife claimed to be a maid, and pouring coffee was indeed It's the job of a maid.

"call……"

Take a deep breath.

After talking for such a long time, my mouth is almost dry. I glanced at the sky outside the window. Although it is not night yet, the scenery outside is indeed a bit scary. The dark clouds bring endless oppression, and the whole room is extremely stuffy, as if under the The torrential rain will pour down in a moment, and this rainy season may last for nearly a month.

Finally, the man added the last words.

"In short, I suggest that Lilia let her fight quickly and break through the opponent's defense line as quickly as possible, but don't hurt the opponent's foundation, especially the first battle. As long as the first victory is won, the initiative is in our hands."

"The personnel invested in the first battle will not be very large. This battle is mainly to show the muscles of the Roria Kingdom. The more brutal the better, the more ferocious the better, and the bigger the movement, the better. This is not for the opponent to see, but It is for the two tigers in the north who are staring at each other, to let them know that even if Roria is not as good as before, if you want to attack by force, you will be torn off a few pieces of meat. Let's see which one of you can't bear it first. If you have the ability, let's all work together die."

"The first victory, you can negotiate conditions with the other party while taking the initiative. My personal suggestion is not to defeat these two countries, let them continue to shield us from the wind and rain of the outside world. Although these two kingdoms have some internal problems , but most of them are orcs and hybrids, with extremely good combat effectiveness."

"The two monarchs in the north are looking for each other's flaws. Naturally, it is impossible to take action against them. With this buffer zone, we can extend the timeline infinitely until Loria recovers and returns to the prosperity of hundreds of years." We are considering whether to conquer them in the true sense when we are in the state."

"Make a deal with them. The content of the deal is very simple. Use Roria's surplus food to exchange cities with them and keep a long-term deal."

"These two people are absolutely impossible to refuse. Now that the common people in the kingdom are in such a state of famine, it can be said that whoever gives them food will be their own father. Moreover, if the two of them meet those girls, it is impossible to attack them. The only thing they can hope for now is to cause trouble in the royal city and force Lilia and Lilith to go home to deal with it."

"Only in this situation can they win, but as long as we can stabilize the royal city, it will be a tug of war. They are short of food, how can they fight us? I guess they would be happy to let these two old things exchange their lives for food."

"Although the lives of the common people in our country are very difficult, they are not to the point of starving to death. Moreover, with the promulgation of this new policy, the homes of so many nobles have been confiscated, and all parts of the country have worked together. This naturally includes Granary, these are the grain and grass that the nobles deliberately hoarded in order to control the market."

"Leave a part to fill the national grain depot to prevent any natural disasters in the future, so that part of the disaster relief can be allocated, and then the extra can be exchanged for city resources with those two old men. It is not a problem in remote areas, as long as the population is small. It’s a small amount.”

"What we pay attention to is not this piece of land, but the people under them. Don't rule by force. Be open-minded. If you want to continue to live here, you can leave without being controlled by Roria, but you must be the first time. Send food and so on, including the social benefits of the New Deal in our kingdom, as well as tax relief, all of them will be implemented."

"Continue to maintain normal exchanges between the two countries, especially the cities that have been won, and the two countries must be kept open at all times."

Hearing this, Sifni's eyes lit up. She could see that this was a way for Lorca to buy people's hearts. Without worrying about starving to death and not having to pay taxes, it is conceivable that people from the Lion Kingdom would have How exciting, no matter how firm the belief is, it will change in such a living environment that is no different from heaven.

At least it is impossible to have any more hostility towards Roria, and what Loka said, don't be too strict in management, and maintain exchanges between the two countries, is probably to pass the news through their orcs, and then completely spread it to other cities in their country.

This is the best form of publicity.

"You should know what I mean."

"The two old men on the border don't have a long lifespan, and they probably will die of old age in a few years. I don't know how their heirs are, but according to Lilia, those two monarchs are very good fighters. But the descendants are not very up-to-date, and this time they launched the war to pave the way for their descendants."

"Since this is the case, we implement such a policy and just wait slowly. Anyway, with these two countries as a buffer zone, it is impossible for the northern countries to attack in a short period of time. Even if we want to fight, we can even take the initiative to help. You should understand why."

"As time went on, the two monarchs died of old age, and our chance came."

"I reckon that by then our kingdom's vitality will have recovered in sevens and eighties. The old king is dead and the new king is in power. The foundation is already unstable and the people's hearts are uncertain. In addition, the seeds we are planting in their kingdom now , control the grain trade of their kingdom, how much effort do you think it will take for us to capture them by then?"

Luoka does have a set of methods in class. It is probably a habit he developed when he taught his sister before. He said every point very clearly, letting the other party walk slowly along his own train of thought. Caught in it, she must admit, it was a treat to hear Lorca tell herself about these political matters.

The ultimate enjoyment like drinking fine wine.

There is no trickery, and there is no deliberate fiddling. Everything seems to be a matter of course. Just a few words can fully understand the subsequent ten or even decades of things. This is the real reason why my two daughters are willing to put down their bodies to ask Lorca for advice.

He really deserves his daughter.

"I'm afraid it will be easy."

"Yes, not only is it easy, if you are more gentle, you can even divide them into concepts such as vassal states or vassal states, and control the core of their countries. As for what the land is called, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, there is no What, the only value of their land is that it can be used as a buffer and buy us a lot of time."

"Sure enough, just like Nivier said, you are really amazing, eh~ If I had..."

Stopped abruptly.

As he spoke, he blurted out what was in his heart, if he had met Loka earlier, how could there have been so many messy things, and how could it have become such an embarrassing situation.

"Huh? What happened to you back then?"

Someone in Luo didn't notice anything unusual, he was really too lazy to continue talking, mainly because he was tired, and it was time to go home and prepare to teach Lida a lesson.

"No, it's nothing, I just think that if you had met the former king earlier, maybe she would have made a completely different choice."

She smiled gently, but Loka felt that her smile seemed to reveal many things, including melancholy, regret, and a little bit of envy.

"Well, it's getting late, or we..."

Looking at the head maid in front of him, although Luo wanted to continue to sit with this lady for a while, it was obviously not good for children to wait at home. Hearing the man's tone, he was planning to say goodbye.

And Sifni also smiled very understandingly, and said softly: "Indeed, it's getting late, I didn't expect you to really be interested in me, an old woman, do you want to go to your bedroom, or go to your bedroom?" What about my family doing weird things?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's just... wait! What?"

Almost biting off her own tongue, Sifni sticks out her pink tongue and winks at the man.

"Oh, didn't you just want to invite me to your house?"

"No! Of course not! I just think it's a little late and I have to go back to teach Lida! How could I have such thoughts!"
