The strong griffin carried the messenger and rushed towards the palace quickly. The fiery red decorations on the griffin already showed the urgency of the letter! No guard in the palace dared to stop him, but instead tried his best to guide the messenger through quickly.
"The urgent letter from Belika Fortress has arrived"!
After jumping off the back of the gryphon in the palace garden, the messenger respectfully took off the satchel behind him and took out the envelope sealed with rosin. The official in charge of the handover looked at the secret seal on the envelope and handed it to him. A court mage, after the court mage used detection magic to carefully confirm that it was correct, he hurriedly sent it into the magnificent palace behind him.
In the study room inside the palace, a middle-aged man wearing aqua blue mage robes was talking to an old man wearing a crown that symbolized the emperor. When the maid arrived with a letter, the two stopped talking. The middle-aged mage He hurried forward, took the letter, opened it and read it.
Opening a letter on his own in front of a king. This unconventional move did not arouse the king's dissatisfaction. On the contrary, the king seemed to be patiently waiting for the mage's response. The middle-aged mage looked at it briefly and then extended his hand to the king. , the two of them got up and came to a large and exquisite table made of fine iron and wood. The middle-aged mage ignored the etiquette and directly spread out the two maps in the letter.
Both maps use white, light blue and dark blue dotted lines to mark the maps into three different areas. The middle-aged mage looked at another report and signaled the maid on the side to leave. He waited until the maid walked out of the room and closed the door before saying: "Your Majesty Rodlan is just as I feared. This place in the Mist Forest near Belika Fortress is This snowstorm is probably not caused by natural factors."
The old king looked at the signs on the map and pondered for a while and asked: "Are you sure? Master Gretel."
"Your Majesty Rodlan, according to the report from the garrison of Belika Fortress, they have sent people into the forest to explore. This summer's snowstorm in the Mist Forest shows no signs of stopping. You must know that this abnormal phenomenon has not happened for hundreds of years. It has not happened before, and it was the same last summer. I dare to say that this is not a normal natural phenomenon."
After listening to Gretel's words, the old king nodded thoughtfully and said: "Last year, the northern Og barbarians did not invade our border during the summer. They must have been hindered by this snowstorm."
Master Grete replied affirmatively: "It should be like this. The heavy snowfall every winter will freeze the entire forest. The Og barbarians can only choose to invade our country when the snowstorm stops in summer, but the blizzard that started last year has not stopped. However, this is probably the main reason why the Og barbarians did not invade our country."
"One snowstorm saved our country from two wars┉┉" the old king couldn't help but sighed meaningfully and said: "At least this year there will be no more women and children crying for the loss of their husbands and fathers."
"Yes, it is really the long-lost peace, but it is actually because of this snowstorm that has not subsided"!
The old king pinched his beard and began to think silently. The ancient Kingdom of Saxony is located in the north. Its border is close to the misty forest that is covered with snow almost all year round. Only summer blizzards will stop for a short time, and this time It is the most tense time for the entire country, because the Oger barbarians far away in the north will always take the opportunity to invade and plunder the villages and cities along the border. It has long become a serious problem for the entire country, and the Kingdom of Saxony cannot bear to be disturbed. The only way is to build Belika Fortress at the main exit of the Mist Forest on the border and garrison it for defense. However, garrisoning troops on the border is a huge expense anyway, considering that the Og barbarians will only take advantage of the summer blizzard to stop. They will invade and return to the wilderness before autumn comes. There are not many garrison troops in the fortress at ordinary times. Only after the summer blizzard stops, the garrison troops from various places will go to the front line of the fortress to prepare for war. They will not return until autumn after the end of the war.
Such wars that repeat year after year have troubled the kings of the Kingdom of Saxony for several generations. There have been kings in the past who have considered sending troops to the northern wilderness to encircle and suppress the Og barbarians. However, the terrible natural environment of the Mist Forest and the huge military force The expenses have caused this plan to be shelved again and again, and now the situation in the entire southern continent is gradually beginning to become turbulent! The Kalsemmen Empire, which has risen again after experiencing decline, is eager to expand again. The rift in faith between the Holy City and the Holy See is getting wider and wider┉┉At this moment, my country is being held back by the Og barbarians who deserve to be punished by the gods. Can't be separated either.
Even the Og barbarians could not break through the natural barrier formed by nature. The old king couldn't help but think about it. Last year and this year, it was because of the unquelled wind and snow that not only saved the country from two wars, but also saved money. A huge sum of money was spent on more needed areas, perhaps just like what Master Gretel said. This non-stop snowstorm is indeed very abnormal, but if this snowstorm can continue┉┉
Master Gretel saw the old king's thoughtful look. He knew very well what the king was thinking about now, but as an aide, he must also consider all the pros and cons and gains and losses: "Your Majesty Rodlan, I hope you can take a look here. ".
Following the mage's finger, the old king saw the light blue dotted lines drawn on the two maps. He raised his head and motioned for him to continue.
Gretel put the two maps side by side and compared them and said: "The dotted lines on these two maps are the marks of the snow coverage this year and last year. Each year, you can measure the amount and coverage of snow in the forest. Judging roughly the size of the blizzard, it is obvious from the comparison of the two pictures that the blizzard in the Mist Forest is rapidly expanding to a larger area of the forest."
"But this is still deep in the forest. Are you worried that the wind and snow will spread to the border?" The old king understood what the mage meant but was not that worried. After all, the Mist Forest was very vast, and the soldiers responsible for surveying usually needed to be well prepared and travel for more than ten days to reach the snow-covered area.
"I understand what you mean, Your Majesty. The coverage of the blizzard is still far away from our border, but┉┉" Here Master Gretel took out a blue crystal inlaid with magic metal and said: "One of my students Last year, I set off for Belika Fortress, originally planning to assist the defenders in fighting the Og barbarians. However, during this period, I have been entrusting her to survey the size and formation of the blizzard. In the past few months, she sent some messages from others! Surprising report”.
After saying that, Master Gretel input the magic power into the crystal. As the crystal slowly glowed and the contents were read, Gretel turned to the old king and said, "Your Majesty Rodlan! If this snowstorm is really what I thought, "It's not caused by natural factors, so what force do you think caused this strange phenomenon?"
┉┉┉┉After a short silence, the old king slowly said: "The gift of the gods┉┉"
"A gift┉┉" Grete nodded but smiled bitterly: "But it might be a disaster."
At this time, the crystal had finished reading the content, and a blurry figure was projected in the room. Soon the figure said: "Teacher Gretel! Your student Lei Lisi will report the situation to you. When I recorded this message, I had already entered the fog. On the 14th day of the forest, we are now 36 kilometers north of the forest┉┉”
Time passed slowly, and when the sun slowly sank into the horizon, the door to the palace study was finally pushed open, and the old king walked out with a heavy face. Grete followed closely with the letter, and after walking through the corridor, the old king He made up his mind and said to the master: "It has been decided, just as you said, Master Gretel, it is indeed necessary to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Mist Forest before the news spreads."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. During this period, please do your best to block this news." Gretel breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully.
"Of course I will try my best to do this. After all, I must seize this opportunity!"
“If opportunities are not properly controlled, they may turn into disasters.” After sorting out the letters, Gretel pondered for a while and said to the old king: "There should be something complicated behind the blizzard in the Mist Forest. If necessary, I think it is better to go to the 'Tower of the Sage'┉┉"
After listening to Gretel's words, the old king couldn't help but become worried: "Once the forces in Master Gretel's 'Tower of Sages' notice this place... maybe the whole country will be involved in the disputes between their factions." .
Gretel waved her hands and comforted her: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty Rodlan, I have no intention of handing over the information to those people who have been dazzled by power. I am going to directly ask my mentor to review it and believe that he will be interested in this matter." If you are interested, if you can get his help, all the factions in the 'Tower of Sages' will at least take a look at his face before taking action."
"Haha! By the way┉┉I am so old that I almost forgot about your mentor┉┉"
"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter what, I have to hand this information into the hands of the instructor first."
================================================
Location: The Thinker's Library in the Yarnold Mountains
Several frost and snow elves were handing the reports to Yalin one by one for approval. Yalin, who was surrounded by them, was busy and anxious looking at the reports on the progress of the projects and research progress in the territory.
"Here is a report on iron ore mining. Please take a look at it, Master!"
"There are still not enough manpower for mining! Hey~~ I am also short of manpower here to exchange some goblins."
"Regarding the construction of small portals in the territory, some major magic crystals are in short supply. I also hope that you, Master, can┉┉"
"Understood! But I can only exchange a small part for you first. First, connect the main areas with portals."
"This is this year's farm harvest report. After our research, as long as we can use magic to build a greenhouse area, it is estimated that food production may be increased by about 7%."
"As for the magic power, let the people in the research department help you, and also replace the current crops with this new hybrid rice."
"Sir, this is about the progress of the Celestial Connection Bridge┉┉"
"Here is a mine survey report on the eastern mountain range┉┉"
"Cleaning up the Forge Hall located under the mountains┉┉"
I'm fucking going crazy! It’s really unbearable to go on like this! Yalin looked at the report, which was not piled up like a mountain but was about the thickness of a dictionary. He couldn't help but rubbed his forehead with a frown. This was not as simple as playing a real-time strategy game. Many decisions needed to be made and handed over by oneself. ! Now I hope to explore and understand more of this world, learn magic, use magic, fly in the sky and feel the beauty of this world! Instead of being occupied by these files all day long┉┉
As an assistant, Nemo can only explain basic knowledge and situations in other worlds to himself. Although he is an assistant to the summoning system, Nemo cannot command summoned creatures. All orders must be given by himself.
After turning on the summoning system, Yalin has decided to summon some administrative talents to help him. It is true that he, the Lord of the White Dragon, is too uncomfortable. So far, there is no one who can help him with administration. He has to do everything by himself. It’s not exhausting to make decisions.
Among the frost elves with AI level 5, there are no talents who are very good at administrative processing. Yalin has to turn his attention to the special summoned characters. There are several people who have long been in Yalin's sight as administrative assistant candidates.
"Although the little pink princess has shown some qualities of a politician, we did not see her issuing any administrative orders in the original work. In comparison, she is still more suitable for singing! The sinister demon deacon is only organized in housework, but he is still more suitable for singing. Government affairs of a territory┉┉Forget it!”
Yalin opened Lelouch's information and looked at it. Although it was a little exciting, Yalin planned to let Lelouch do other important things in the future. Moreover, Lelouch's performance in the anime was focused on the military. In terms of strategy, there are quite a few administrative ones! In contrast, the prime minister who actually manages the most powerful country in the world is the only one who is shady in the end!
Name: Schneizel El Britannia
Race: Human
Occupation: Prime Minister
Level: lv1
Experience: 01000
Magic: 4040
Strength: 63
Agility: 84
Spirit: 96
Wisdom: 364
Constitution: 62
Favorability: Friendly 76100
Special abilities: Soul connection (the connection between soul and Yalin) Excellent mind (wisdom increased by 10%) Thinking acceleration (learning speed increased by 15%) Noble atmosphere (social and negotiation skills improved)
Growth potential: dd
Special summon resurrection requires: 3000 soul energy
Really low value! Yalin looked at the character attributes displayed on the system, but he didn't need Schneizel to go to the front line to fight. He only needed him to help him deal with various administrative issues from the rear. The growth potential and Suzaku are both DD levels, but Yalin dare not replace Schneizel with the white dragon bloodline. You must know that this seemingly harmless guy is even more sinister than Lelouch in some aspects. people. However, I have to admit that Schneizel is really powerful in administrative skills, both internally and externally. The empire uses war priority in its policy towards EU, and implements a friendly foreign policy towards the Chinese Federation. It can be said that the two major powers were defeated and merged separately. Frequently establish achievements worthy of its reputation.
Understanding the character of the original characters and the fact that the ordinary summoned creatures in the territory are 100% obedient to him is Yalin's biggest weapon now. As long as he uses it well, Yalin believes that he can control Schneizel. Of course, if you can, it’s not necessarily impossible to become like-minded friends with him, as long as everyone is moving towards the same goal!
But speaking of it, Schneizel is also the first special character that Yalin truly chooses to summon. The previous ones were randomly selected based on rewards.
Don’t let me down, Brother Schneizel! Yalin prayed silently, took a deep breath and ordered: "Summon Schneizel El Britannia, the character from "Lelouch of the Rebellion"."
"Very┉┉certain"!
