"These are the truths my father told me. Now you understand," Princess Ruth said at the end, asking Richard with a bit of pride.
Richard spread his hands and had to admit that the descriptions of the same thing but from different standpoints were completely different.
According to Princess Ruth, the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom's approach is indeed very smart, and it can be regarded as "conquering the enemy without fighting" in a sense. It's just that this method, even if it's not done intentionally, is probably forced.
Well, forced.
Subduing the enemy's army without fighting
It is precisely because the army is so bad and cannot fight that they think of subduing the enemy without fighting.
If the army is really powerful, at the beginning of the attack on Rob Kingdom, they can just use thunder to destroy the opponent's vanguard. Why bother
Does the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom also want to hide its strength
Thinking in his mind, Richard looked at Ruth: "Since you are so sure that your Black Holy Mountain Kingdom can win, then what do you want me to help you win?"
"A competition." Ruth said, "This competition has something to do with war, but it is not for the army, but for wizards."
"A wizard's competition?"
"Yes, the wizard's, or the wizard's apprentice." Ruth said, "You should know that our Black Holy Mountain Kingdom is a wizard country, and the Rob Kingdom is also a wizard country. Although there are no powerful wizards, they are just wandering people without inheritance. A wizard cannot be as powerful as the White Stone Tower, but after all, he has some wizard power.
Now that the Rob Kingdom is at war with us, we have seen some of the situation clearly, and feel that we may not gain much benefit, so we have the idea of negotiation. Of course, they would not show it directly, but for the sake of communication, they organized a mission and expected to arrive in Williams City, the capital of our Black Holy Mountain, in two days.
The so-called communication thing is the power of wizards. A young third-level wizard apprentice newly trained in their country is said to be very powerful. They want to use him to demonstrate to us. If our Black Holy Mountain Kingdom cannot find the same young wizards to defeat the other party, it will inevitably lose face, and the other party can put forward some high-profile conditions.
We naturally don't want them to succeed, but one situation is that the wizards we have in the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom are all older official wizards. As for the wizard apprentice, I may be the most powerful one in the country right now.
Let the official wizard compete with the opponent. No matter whether he wins or not, it will be a loss of face. As for me, as a princess, it would be bad to end up personally. "
"You think you can't beat the opponent, right?" Richard pointedly pointed out.
"Uh-" Princess Ruth choked and turned to look at Richard. She stared at him for half a minute before shouting loudly, "So what! I'm afraid of losing, so I can't!"
I'm just a first-level wizard apprentice, okay? How can I defeat that perverted third-level wizard apprentice? Besides, during the competition, other methods cannot be used. If it can be used, no matter what level of wizard apprentice he is, I will send 10,000 cavalry to trample him to death!
Anyway, I have always been worried about this. Now that you are here, okay, aren't you very powerful? Let me give you a chance to show your strength! If you have the ability, don't bully me. Go bully the pervertedly strong third-level wizard apprentice from Rob Kingdom! "
"Third-level wizard apprentice? Abnormally strong?" Richard thought in his mind, and faces flashed through his mind: Solomon, Mukoni, Gibran, and many unknown members of mysterious organizations in the base below...
A third-level wizard apprentice can be said to be extremely powerful, so... who do the Somen group of people count
Um, this difficulty reduction is a bit too much.
Richard couldn't help but touch his nose.
Third-level wizard apprentice? Well, it's a third-level wizard apprentice, not a third-level wizard.
Tsk!
"How about it? Do you want to agree?" Princess Ruth looked at it and asked loudly.
Richard blinked.
promise
Of course he can agree, and this matter is not difficult for him.
But then again, why would he agree? He doesn't like trouble the most. There is no benefit now, so what reason is there to prevent trouble from happening
Even if the third-level wizard apprentice is indeed a little weaker, he is still stronger than a thief or something. Rather than wasting two days to deal with the other party, it is better to leave the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom and go north to Moore to explore the true secret of the Black Spirit King.
Well, wait a minute!
Richard narrowed his eyes.
The real secret of the Black Spirit King
Well, that's right. The most important thing he does besides research is to explore and figure out the true secret of the Black Spirit King. That's why he went to Moore. After discovering the island treasure of the Black Soul King on the Island of the Dead, this idea became even more firm.
So after the sea route was blocked, he took the land route to get here, to the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom.
Black Holy Mountain Kingdom!
Where is the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom? An incredibly wealthy country on the east coast.
So why so rich? Because it has inherited many legacies of the Black Spirit Empire!
If there is one place where you can find a lot of knowledge about the Black Spirit Empire and help clarify the outline of the Black Spirit King's secrets in advance, then it may be here.
By the way, when I was in White Rock City before, if it weren’t for the fact that Princess Ruth was born in the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, I would have remembered the folk songs left by the Black Spirit Empire. Then he couldn't solve the mystery of the Black Spirit King's secret at all, and it was impossible to determine that the tomb of Alex's ancestor was the place of treasure.
It can be said that the secret of the Black Spirit King may end in Moore, but the beginning is here - the Kingdom of Black Holy Mountain!
Now that he is here, do he really want to leave quickly
"call-"
Richard took a deep breath, looked up at Princess Ruth, and said with a serious look: "I can promise to help you."
"Really?" Princess Ruth was slightly surprised. She felt that she could kidnap someone with just one meal, so she obviously made a profit.
"But don't be too quick to be happy." Richard clearly understood Princess Ruth's mentality and reminded her, "I have a condition."
"Conditions? What conditions?"
"My condition is that after I finish helping you, I have the right to read any book in any library in your country until I am sure that I find something useful."
"Okay, I'll satisfy you." Princess Ruth said disdainfully, as if it was as simple as giving a few coppers to a poor man.
"Are you sure?" Richard looked at Princess Ruth very solemnly, "I don't want our transaction to have some bad results, so I want to make sure that you really understand what I say, and that you can Do it.”
"I understand, I understand, and I promise to do it. Really, isn't it just reading? I will open the royal library to you so that you can read to your heart's content. By the way, my father seems to have a special private I also asked him to open the library to you, okay?" Princess Ruth said impatiently, "It's just reading, it doesn't cost money, what can't you agree to?"
"Then - okay, happy cooperation." Richard said.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Princess Ruth said.
