With a "gudong" sound, Macbeth swallowed the marmalade, closed his eyes and tasted the "deliciousness" of the marmalade, then opened his eyes and looked at Richard and the others: "Why are you following me? It seems that you are all curious," Actually, it doesn’t matter if I tell you. I brought you all here together, and what I want to do is actually very simple, that is... kill people."
"Kill?" Nancy was stunned, "Who?" Obviously, the person worthy of being killed by Macbeth, a real wizard, will definitely not be an ordinary person.
Macbeth smiled softly, and did not directly answer Nancy's question. Instead, he gestured around and asked the three of them: "Do you think this inn is very lively?"
"Um..." The three of them looked around and found that it was indeed very lively. Most of the seats were filled with people. It was an exaggeration to say that the seats were full, but it was almost the same. If Macbeth hadn't been rich, a few people might not have been able to pick a good, quiet spot in the corner.
"Actually, if it were in the past, this hotel would not be so lively. But now, the main reason is that many people come to participate in and watch the swordsmanship competition held in Cairo City."
"Swordsmanship tournament?"
"Well, a swordsmanship competition. You don't need to know specifically what this is. It's just a group of people who were bored out of their minds." Macbeth said with a slight disdain, "There are similar things like archery competitions, fighting competitions, etc. There is no difference.
All you need to know is that Cairo City, where the swordsmanship competition is held, is the capital of the country we are currently in called 'Pu Egypt'.
Egypt was originally a small country on the island of Lisbon, very inconspicuous. However, in recent years, there have been some changes. The newly ascended king is called 'Amon Khufu Regedev', and most people call him 'Amon' or 'Khufu'. He is very young, only in his twenties this year, but his abilities are extremely outstanding.
As a king, he not only has courage and means, but also has high charm, which makes many people follow him loyally. This resulted in him doubling the territory of 'Pu Egypt' in less than three years. This has aroused vigilance and hatred in many surrounding countries.
Of course, this is not a big problem. After all, any country may have a particularly good king, making the country stronger. But the problem is that Amon Khufu is too ambitious.
He did not stop after doubling his territory, but continued to train the army, mined numerous iron ores, and purchased a large number of slaves. It is said that he has already started planning to build a huge mausoleum for himself, so that it will be completed decades later to match his noble status when he died.
These are symbols of his ambition. He is preparing to unify the entire 'Lisburn' island and also attack the other islands. This cannot be tolerated. And the most egregious thing is that in order to speed up the achievement of this goal, he actually tried to turn 'Pu Egypt' from a non-wizard country into a wizard country. "
"Non-wizard country? Wizard country?" Nancy's eyes flashed slightly, confused, "What is this?"
"Well, you haven't fully come into contact with this wizarding world, so you don't understand. It's normal. I can explain it to you. Non-wizard countries and wizard countries are the distinctions made by wizard organizations about the nature of a country.
Generally speaking, an ordinary country is a non-wizard country. No matter how powerful it is, it is not very dangerous. A wizarding country means that this country has wizards as the official power of the country.
Maybe they were hired, maybe they were trained by themselves, but once they have wizard-level official power, it means that the country carries a certain degree of danger and must pay attention to it. Because the wizarding country will have a crushing advantage over the neighboring non-wizarding countries, it will break the balance of power in a region, and may annex it at any time.
The rise of such a country will be extremely rapid. If it is not handled properly and there is a slight hesitation, it may turn into a monster that no one can control. Then drag the whole world into the quagmire of the wizard war, causing the world to lose order and become extremely chaotic.
According to historical records, this situation has happened several times, and each time the losses were huge. Therefore, in order to avoid repeating the bad consequences, all wizard organizations will be vigilant about this happening again.
This does not mean that any country cannot become a wizarding country, but wizarding organizations must carefully consider its location, its surrounding environment, and the character and abilities of its rulers.
You were sailing all the way on a giant ship and were constantly blackmailed, which shows that there are many wizarding countries along the way - only wizarding countries dare to collect taxes from passing wizard ships. But those wizarding countries only have a few wizards, and they resist each other, forming another form of balance of power, which is not dangerous.
Now this Pu Egypt is different. Whether it is its location, the area it is in, or its rulers, it should not be allowed to become a wizarding country. So, here I am. "
"So, the person who wants to kill is King Khufu?" Richard said with a flash of eyes, but he somewhat understood the meaning of the wizard in the current world.
A real wizard is almost equivalent to a strategic weapon on modern earth. The wizard organization is the manufacturer of these strategic weapons, and they must carefully control where the strategic weapons ultimately flow.
Occasionally, a few strategic-level weapons flow to a country and will not greatly affect the regional situation. However, we cannot allow a certain country to possess too many strategic-level weapons, or we cannot allow a capable country to obtain too many strategic-level weapons. This may upset the regional balance, and is more likely to allow a country to possess its own weapons. The ability to research strategic-level weapons.
When a country can continuously cultivate new wizards like a wizard organization, then the wizard organization's invisible rule over the world may suffer a devastating blow. Out of interest, the wizard organization will never let this happen, so if there is any sign of it, it will be strangled immediately.
In fact, it is similar on modern earth. Big countries can sell strategic-level weapons or place them in small countries. But if small countries want to develop strategic-level weapons themselves, they will suffer a devastating blow.
It is indeed a real world.
Richard murmured in his heart.
At this time, Macbeth spoke up, looked at Richard and said, "Yes, I brought you here. The person I want to kill is King Khufu. You got the answer right, but it's a pity that there is no reward for the right answer, ha."
"Let me tell you this." Macbeth controlled his voice, "Amon Khufu is a very powerful person. Once the country he controls becomes a wizarding country, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, he must be killed. Fortunately, , he is not difficult to kill, on the one hand he is just an ordinary person and only needs a simple attack or even an inconspicuous wound,
It would make him completely dead. In addition, his temperament is not perfect, so he can be exploited.
His style is a bit exaggerated, and he ordered people to hold this swordsmanship competition to satisfy some of his fun. Therefore, he will definitely attend the finals of the swordsmanship competition.
I brought you here because I am going to be packaged as a nobleman with swordsmen to participate in the competition. As long as you enter the finals, then I can successfully enter the finals and be close to Khufu's viewing position. At that time, when Khufu appears, you can kill him directly.
Otherwise, if I use other methods to enter the scene, I may have to kill many people, create many variables, and probably cause chaos and allow Khufu to escape. "
"Now you understand what I brought you here to do, right?"
"Yeah." Richard and the other three nodded.
