However, Ryan just thought about this idea casually. He also knew that it was impossible, so Ryan had to hide his depressed mood in his heart, and a gloomy expression naturally appeared on his face. This was considered It was a fake show, right
Because he had the moral upper hand, the whole scene became a performance by Adams alone, and those imperial officials who accompanied him were bombarded by Adams from language to heart to soul, so that many of them were directly shocked. There were seventeen people. Although Adams suspected that quite a few of these people fainted on purpose so as not to face their own accusations, it was already perfect for him to perform like this when he first entered the political stage of the capital city.
Orlando quickly completed the survey of the entire site. Regarding the ruins created by Ryan's magic, Orlando was also secretly wary. Although the Cassano area is not large, their ruler is a powerful magician, and he is also a The overlord has a violent tendency, but the responsibility for today's events lies entirely with the Imperial City. This makes Orlando feel helpless in his heart.
He had already planned to strengthen military training. Unfortunately, today's incident occurred before the competitive competition was over. This put the Imperial Capital in a very troublesome situation. No matter how the Imperial Capital chose, the Imperial Capital worked hard to hold the competitive competition in the hope of reshaping All the mighty actions of the imperial capital were dragged down by this negative influence.
Soon, Orlando came up with a survey conclusion for today's unexpected incident. Farasi was anxious. She snatched the conclusion directly from Orlando's hand, but after seeing Orlando's comments on this incident At that time, the expression on Farasi's face was so exciting. She looked at the file in her hand in disbelief and was stunned for a moment.
Naturally, Victor noticed Farasi's expression. He walked gently behind Farasi, and with just a glance, he almost read the contents of the entire file. It clearly stated that there were some ulterior motives. The lord deliberately destroyed the friendship between the Imperial Capital and Cassano and took advantage of the Royal Athletic Competition to send spies to infiltrate the Imperial Capital and create today's incident. The most brilliant part of the file is that it did not point out which lord planned and Anyone who has a little knowledge of the current situation on the mainland can guess from the words that this incident was caused by Senat, the lord of Seike City.
Even as an archmage, Victor still couldn't help but shake his head. In terms of political wisdom, Victor was still far inferior to Orlando, but he didn't understand how Orlando, as a holy knight, could actually come up with such a thing. , doesn’t this conflict with his own beliefs
After several reminders from Orlando, Faras finally woke up from her dream. Holding the dossier in her hand, she walked up to Adams, who was showing off his eloquence, and then handed it over with formal etiquette. Adams took the dossier and He immediately stopped his lengthy accusations and ran all the way to Ryan's side, handing it to Ryan.
Ryan also had a strange expression on his face after seeing this dossier. Obviously, his previous discussions with Victor and Faras were in vain. Although everyone knew that Senat did not have the strength to cause trouble in the imperial capital, but those civilians But I don’t know, under the publicity in the imperial capital, even if it is false, it can become true.
Just when Ryan was about to agree with Orlando's investigation results, Vivian whispered in Ryan's ear: "I can't agree. No matter who planned this matter, it will be a loss of face for us Cassano. We have to get adequate compensation, otherwise we will arouse suspicion."
Ryan was shocked. He suddenly found that he had unknowingly assumed Farasi's position in handling certain matters. This would definitely arouse the suspicion of interested people. In fact, no matter who planned today's incident, Ka Sanodu has suffered some losses and must pursue maximization of profits. Orlando's dossier only shirks the responsibility of the imperial capital. This has nothing to do with Cassano's gains and losses.
"It seems good." A faint smile appeared on Ryan's face: "It turns out that it is not the responsibility of the Imperial City. Well, yes, then it must be our Cassano's problem. Who asked us to come all the way here? If we had chosen another direction, probably nothing like what happened today would have happened.”
Ryan's words made Faras feel unhappy. She was about to speak, but Archmage Victor preempted him and said: "As for the losses suffered by Cassano, the Imperial City, as the host, has the responsibility to make up for it, but now the heroic Cassano The soldiers of Sano need the best care and rest. I suggest that we change a place to rest first, and then let a few representatives from each side of us slowly discuss the relevant matters. I don’t know what this suggestion is."
"No need." Ryan categorically rejected Victor's invitation, as if he wanted to break with the forces of the Imperial Capital Faras: "Cassano's soldiers can protect their own safety, and there is no need for the Imperial Capital to pay for this. Strength, as for the treatment Cassano received today, if the Imperial City cannot give us a satisfactory answer, then I think there will never be a second Cassano coming to the Imperial Capital."
After saying this, Ryan waved his hand and said: "Let's go, take all the wounded, go to the Pride of the Lion King first, and then slowly talk to the Imperial Capital." Ryan added a heavy syllable to the word "talk", It seemed that he was venting his anger, but Victor heard what Ryan meant. He understood that Ryan was trying to buy Farasi enough time to respond, so that Farasi could quickly clean up Jonas's army in this incident. The footprints left in
"Fabia, don't be angry. Come, let me give you a massage." Vivian stood behind Ryan and said softly. She gently pressed her hands on Ryan's head, and then twisted it skillfully. Ryan's muscles made Ryan feel waves of mental and psychological relaxation.
Ryan gently changed into a more comfortable position. The Lion's Pride Noble Room he was in could be regarded as the most beautifully decorated room in the entire Lion's Pride Hotel. Anyway, the entire cost would be borne by the Imperial Capital. Besides, with Ryan now I will no longer care about this small amount of money,
"Are you feeling better?" Vivian asked softly.
"Well, much better." Ryan said with his eyes closed: "But I always feel that things are not that simple."
"Why, are you still wondering about Orlando's dossier?"
"Yes, as a holy knight, he would come up with such a thing that is obviously full of loopholes. This is really..." Ryan said,
"Haha, Fabia, in my opinion this is really normal." Vivian said: "Everyone will have their own bottom line. As long as the bottom line is not touched, then everything above the bottom line will Everything can be compromised, just like me, don't I like to be exposed and deal with those men, but as long as it doesn't cost me my body's innocence, I can only endure it in order to survive. Isn't this what Orlando did? Regardless of whether he did this out of his own will, he directly shirked the responsibility that originally belonged to the Imperial Capital. As long as the Imperial Capital provides us with enough benefits to Cassano, then this incident will be resolved satisfactorily. Maybe He will also attack Seike City, which has broken away from the rule of the imperial capital."
"Maybe, but I didn't expect that politics could be so... so shameless." Ryan said that descriptive word in a tone that was almost groaning. Orlando's move today made Ryan understand that there are only interests in politics, absolutely. There is no faith or morality,
"Actually, I don't know much about this, but I think it's better for others to die than to die myself, and those who die are still our enemies." Vivian said this calmly,
"Alas." Ryan sighed heavily and said feebly: "I hope nothing will change in all this. However, since Catherine has set up this situation, she can't just end it lightly. I don't know what her intentions are. What is the ultimate goal?”
"Your Majesty, as you expected, Orlando came forward to resolve the matter. Now as long as Faras can come up with something that satisfies Cassano's conditions, the whole matter will be put to rest. Maybe the Imperial City will be able to return the favor. I will publicize this matter in a high-profile manner so that I can occupy the moral high ground when facing Seike City."
"Very good, Birmingham. The chess pieces you laid have completely achieved this first step. Faras and the others would never have thought that my plan was not aimed at Cassano at all. It was just a small place, although the geographical location was relatively small. It's important, but as long as the imperial capital frees up its hands, it can be leveled there casually." Catherine said calmly with a graceful expression on her face,
Birmingham's admiration for Catherine had reached its highest point at this time. Although he was a descendant of the Fernando royal family, he was quite talented. He admired Catherine, a commoner, for becoming the queen of the entire empire on her own. , now looking back at the path Catherine took back then, it turned out to be so natural, with no twists and turns in the process. I have to say that Catherine's planning was really amazing.
As one of the few cronies of Catherine, Birmingham knew that Catherine's move was obviously to destroy the alliance between Cassano and the imperial capital, but in fact it was more than that. She also hit Orlando's reputation. Just imagine if those fanatics The knights discovered that the God of War they worshiped in the past also used some dishonorable methods, which would inevitably reduce their admiration for Orlando, and Catherine could win over them. After all, Catherine nominally occupies the commanding heights.
What Birmingham didn't know was that the real purpose of Catherine's thoughts was to split the Royal Knights of mankind, and the first step was to destroy the faith of the human knights, so that they suddenly discovered that the justice they believed in was all just high-sounding. Even if the pious Orlando can abandon the principle of justice in political competition, then what else is trustworthy in this world? Once human beings lose hope and faith, it will be a precursor to a great collapse, and it will be a long time before human beings can kill each other. The dark ages are not far away,
