I tore open the sealed letter, only to find that it was the most advanced contract seal. There was also a magic seal inscribed with beeswax on the gray envelope. If someone other than the recipient opened the letter, the letter in it would either be destroyed or exploded. .
"Evenley? Never heard of it. Well, you haven't told us either."
Although Xiaohong couldn't stop shaking her head, there was a smile in her eyes. Although the dragon family generally disdain to lie, according to my understanding of her, this expression should be waiting to watch the excitement, and it is meaningless to ask.
Then, without hesitation, I tore the letter a little, put it on the table beside the door, and then stood near the door and remotely opened it with the hand of ice... I'm really shrewd, if the bomb disposal experts in that world have me like this hands, and will not be sacrificed by the bomb.
"Pfft, hahahaha!"
I directly ignored the hilarious female dragon who was watching the fun behind the scenes and laughing. I don't know why, when I saw Ewenli's Elvish-pronounced name, my scalp was tingling, as if my instinct told me that it was a trouble. , it is better to be cautious.
In order to avoid being overcast, I carefully hid behind the door, and the arm made of ice in the room dissipated when the letter was opened, and then…
"Just kidding? Nothing happened!"
There is neither a flashing white light, nor a sudden howling banshee ghost, nor an explosion, not even a green or white powder flying. , is simply too unprofessional.
"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter, what are you doing? Explore the grass with your face? Step on the trap with your feet?"
Well, let's continue to ignore the laughing female dragon rolling on the floor behind us, pick up the letter, and it's just a few simple sentences.
"Ancient Elvish? Some people still use this in this era, let me think about how to pronounce it"
The letter was written in distorted tadpole script. If the dragon language and the common human language are both normal, what does it mean to use this language that only exists in the ancient elf empire? Could it be that Ewenli is an archaeology major
The handwriting on it is very beautiful and elegant, and it is obviously written by a woman, but the content on it is so endless that people can't understand it.
"...You still dare to come back?"
Whispering this sentence, the grammar is correct, but why I don't understand it, is this a complaint
And as soon as the voice fell, the letter suddenly lit up with white light, and then...
"Damn it! It's actually making a startup word!"
"Boom!"
The stationery really exploded. The explosion wasn't very powerful, but it emitted a strange smoke. After the smoke dissipated, I was already stained with a group of blue paint.
"Cough, to actually use the twisted ancient Elvish language to tempt me to read out the key words, so immoral! Cough, cough, cough."
I don't know what the trap was made of, and even the dust I coughed up was blue. The only good thing was that I could feel that this was not a poisonous trap.
"Hahaha! Sure enough!"
The female dragon in the back was already rolling on the floor laughing, she seemed to have expected it.
What followed was a sudden flash of light in the sky outside the house. It seemed that something had left inexplicably as the letter was opened. The designer of the agency already knew that the letter had been activated.
At the same time as I became a Smurf, a small pendant fell to the ground, and the heart-shaped sapphire on it was exuding a cool brilliance, just like moonlight.
Seeing this posture, I probably knew that I was afraid that this was just the beginning, and the trouble was probably waiting in the back.
"With such a highly targeted arrangement, it would be unbelievable to say that it is not an acquaintance..."
…
Even though I still didn't recall who it was, I was even more worried. This arrangement was obviously aimed at me, obviously someone I was familiar with, but I didn't remember it at all.
I don't have any impression at all. It's nothing. After several reincarnations, I have forgotten the same thing, but there is not a single record in my diary library, so it is very abnormal.
After thinking about it, there are only two possibilities. Either I haven't started keeping a diary at that time... This can basically be rejected, or, those past events are memories that I hope to forget, so I deliberately did not record them. Completely forgotten in reincarnation.
"Well, if I can't remember it, I don't want it anymore. Since it's something I decided to forget, it's obviously better not to recall it."
I suddenly left this little episode behind, but it turned out that Xiaohong, who was planning to watch me lively, was a little upset.
"You are living a very free and easy life. If you can't remember it, you don't want it? This attitude to life is really enviable. You don't have to worry about what trouble will be waiting for you if you can't remember it."
"...I can't help it if I can't remember it. Besides, if that person will come to ask for trouble. Even if I remember it, it's not that there will be trouble, but it will only increase the trouble. Since it is an enemy, when the time comes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the soil. Now. Isn't it an 'old acquaintance'? If an old acquaintance who wants my head wants to queue up, he can queue from here to the West Coast. Who am I afraid of?"
Having said that, I secretly strengthened the vigilance of the surrounding rooms, of course, not entirely to guard against unknown threats.
When a new day came, I also felt a little relieved. Although the dragon knights showed great respect to Lilith, and the knights were mostly diehards with hard-headed heads, in an enemy situation, many things still had to be added. Caution, precautions, etc. are also essential.
And with the exchanges with each other, I did get the most lacking information on the Bayer Empire. The news of the local lords is too late, no better than the dragon knights who can receive news from the capital every day.
A generation of hero Oros is still alive, and today's Bayer Empire is naturally still under Oros' control, but the situation is calm on the surface, and private undercurrents continue. .
The emperor is naturally supreme in name, but I am afraid that everyone is looking forward to his death, especially the dozen or so righteous princes. Don't look at each of them as pure and innocent, in fact, they have a large group of powers, waiting for the old emperor to inherit the great power after his death. Of course, there is still no one who dares to interfere with the military forces now. Well, there is no such thing on the surface, but the source family of the prince's wife seems to be developing there.
Not to mention local lords. The conflict between centralization and local lords can never be resolved. It is a practice that the eldest son of each lord must grow up in the capital. Although it is indeed a very effective method of hostage control, it also deepened the gap between the two.
This rule has been implemented for 20 years. The first eldest sons of the lords have grown into human beings, but very few people return to the territory to inherit the position of lords. The second son who is not in the capital.
No second son? Just regenerate one. And when the second son becomes the lord, he will not be so friendly to the elder brother who has the legal right of inheritance. I have not seen a few cases of welcoming the return of the orthodox heir.
The consistent high pressure of the royal family has caused a lot of grievances. Since the grievances have been accumulated, sooner or later there will be a rebound.
I am afraid that after the emperor's death, no matter who will be in the upper position, there is no absolute authority to suppress the lords' group rebound. It can be said that due to the strong centralization of power, the local lords have been living with their tails between their tails in the past 20 years. I hope that the mountain that is pressing on my head will collapse as soon as possible, so that it can rise again.
It can be seen from this alliance with the undead that the contradictions within the Baier Empire are not small. Although the emperor used his authority to suppress the opposition of most of the nobles, since there was no consensus, the internal differences also emerged early. .
The most intense, apart from the factions of the Church of the True Gods that had broken directly, were probably the royal mages.
From the day the news was announced, the chief court magistrate, Winster, asked for leave directly, and the court mages also began to study magic in retreat. To ease up a little, it was probably the group of the Dragon Knights and the Dragon Knights who left.
Helent's group of dragon knights expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor in their own way, but on the farther west frontier, the group of dragon knights who were still loyal to the emperor were about to take to the battlefield and launch a retaliatory attack against the kingdom of mages.
Dragonborn knights have a very special identity. First of all, many of them are half-dragons, and they have both dragon and human identities. However, most of the time they grew up in the human empire, they were still very inclined to human identity in their "childhood". In terms of their own status, as knights, since the monarch has issued a war mobilization, their participation in the war is reasonable.
But if I can, I don't expect to see a war between superpowers, especially the kingdom of mages is inextricably linked to me.
Combined with the weird system quest that asked me to choose to improve the prestige of the Mage Kingdom or the Bayer Empire, I am afraid that when the shadow of war between the two countries is doomed to be inevitable, I have to choose one side.
I can almost make a guess. When I go to the Cloud Tower to pick up the so-called main quest, most of them will choose a side, and then participate in this war.
"If possible, I really don't want to let the dragon knights participate in the war. Let the war escalate now. The undead invasion has already happened. The longer the delay, the more fully prepared, the greater the chance of victory on our side. The high-end combat power of the two countries is like this. Throw it in, and in the end, most of the undead who will arrive sooner or later will be cheap."
What I have considered is not only these, it is a pity to give up the Bayer Empire to the undead emperors like this, and since the domestic situation of Bayer is unstable and drags on, there may be changes in the situation, such as Saying that the old emperor died suddenly, it is very likely that the newly appointed king and the undead will turn against each other.
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the sub-plot: preventing the Dragon Knights from entering this meaningless war.]
[Task requirements: Try to delay the time for the Dragon Knight Legion to enter the war. If it is extended for more than three months, this task will be completed.]
[Quest reward: Clues of the former dragon and the queen Moriel. Mission Failure Penalty: Xiaohong's Rage. The system prompts: You should continue to be a sideline without a proper job. Do you want points? no way!]
It seems that as long as the main plot of the war between the two countries is within the scope of the main plot, these small side plots can be triggered. Although there are no points, as usual, in order to do a good job in the main plot, none of these small details can be left behind. Winning a big victory is the safest strategy.
It is worth mentioning that although we reminded all countries of the imminent invasion of the undead and suffered a lot of scorn, but when the undead really came, although the countries were still pretending to be deaf and dumb, we also got a lot of private information. Contact, expect to get relevant information and help.
Of course, I'm serious. Several undead invasion points in history have all been pointed out. As for whether there will be any changes in the future, that's none of my business.
"Historically" the Bayer Empire is one of the biggest invasion points. After the undead invasion took place, the super empire Bayer suddenly perished in just three months. This is undoubtedly an incredible thing, but the intelligence collected now After finishing it, there is no shortage of internal and external troubles at all, and I suddenly feel that being able to last for three months is already amazing.
There is no detailed record of what happened to the Dragon Knights in history, but it is recorded that a large number of bone dragons appeared after the Bayer Empire was invaded... If it is deduced according to the current situation, even if the Dragon Knights did not fall on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Mage It was impossible to pass the undead invasion difficulties that followed, and it was completely predictable that all of them would fall in the end.
But at this time, it is not easy to stop the dragon knight. We are foreigners after all, and even vaguely have hostile relations. Even if Lilith came forward to discourage it, it is completely unknown how effective it will be. As knights, when the country faces war At that time, as long as Emperor Oros issued an order to conquer, Helent and the others had no reason to refuse if they did not want to treason.
"...Especially now that they are still under the righteousness of fighting back and revenge, they can't stop them unless we can prove that the emperor has gone mad, or has committed a crime that seriously violates their concept of knighthood."
But thinking of this, I laughed, a crime or something, isn't it long ago
"The Tears of Cazorla, what a good evidence. It seems that I went to Helent to chat. By the way, the reason why the Dragon Knights participated in the war was because they wanted to retaliate against the forbidden spell. I feel that it is not the country of mages. style, let’s check it out first.”
