The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 318: Annelotte's intentions

Views:

"How about it? Ms. Perelia, can you do it? And, are you willing?" Annelotte asked. In fact, she was still a little nervous. After all, this matter is quite important. If she can succeed, Annelotte will not only influence the world, but she will also shock the entire magical world.

Of course, none of this is the most important thing. If it were just for these "boring" reasons, Annelotte would naturally not be nervous about it. She has no interest in shocking the magical world or affecting the entire world. What is important to her is that she may be able to use this opportunity to have a high enough status in the Hawke Empire. And this will be a good thing for Regnar.

To be honest, Annelotte was a little worried about Regnar's current situation in the Hawke Empire.

Regnar offended Joffrey because of himself, and with the eldest prince's petty personality, he had no chance, otherwise this guy would probably kill Regnar directly. There seemed to be no room for redemption between Regnar and him.

Similarly, Regnar also offended the imperial prime minister Alfred because of Irene. Although Alfred, an old fox, has not shown any obvious hostility towards Regnar so far, Annelotte also understands that only dogs that don't bark bite. He has an ambiguous relationship with Joffrey now, and Annelotte believes that if Emperor Larvin hadn't been watching from above, the two guys might have hugged each other long ago. From this perspective, the relationship between Alfred and Regnar is not optimistic.

Furthermore, if Alfred is hostile to Regnar, then other civil servants in the Hawke Empire, such as the Minister of Military Affairs and the Chief Tax Officer, are also likely to fall to Alfred's side.

Of course, Regner was not completely alone. Although Joffrey and Regnar were quite difficult to deal with, Alexander, who was also an imperial prince, got along very well with Regnar. At least for now, it seems that Alexander has given Regnar a lot of help in the past six months.

Similarly, the relationship between Regnar and the military is also okay. At least this time Regnar personally took action and traveled half of the empire to help Manhattan. This was enough for the military to accept his favor. Coupled with the fact that Kordak is developing steadily in the army, Regnar's relationship with the imperial military is at least pleasant.

But none of this could completely reassure Annelotte. First, she didn't trust Alexander. This is not to say that she doesn't trust him at all, but Annelotte can't trust him as much as she trusts Regnar or Kordak. The Frost Girl always felt that there was a barrier between the second prince of the empire and them. In fact, this is inevitable. Alexander is an imperial prince after all, no matter how easy-going his personality is. It's impossible to really be sworn as mercenaries like Regner and the others, patting their chests and calling each other brothers all day long.

On the other hand, although Manhattan's prestige in the Hawke Empire is unmatched. But he is an old man who is nearly a hundred years old after all, even though he still looks energetic now. But Annelotte knew that for a human being, no matter whether he practices fighting spirit or magic, as long as he fails to break through the upper limit and enter the holy realm or legend. Then his life span will not change qualitatively.

Although Manhattan has been fighting for many years, he is only an eighteenth-level warrior until now. According to Annelotte's estimation, this old man is likely to enter a state of aging and weakness in a few years. At that time, Manhattan will definitely be unable to continue leading troops. So far, the only descendant of the Rodades family is Lanmere, the granddaughter of Manhattan. Although General Manhattan is a well-known military minister in the empire, once he falls, the Rodades family will inevitably be in the embarrassing situation of having no successor. Therefore, the friendship with General Manhattan can only be of short-term help to Regnar.

If Regnar really wants to gain a foothold in the government of the Hawke Empire, he must find a longer-term and more reliable partner.

Therefore, Annelotte thought of getting involved in the construction of the Hawke Empire Magic Academy. Through this, Frost Girl may be able to gain a certain say in the upcoming magic academy. And just from the performance of the Stoke Empire Magic Academy, we can see that once the Hawke Empire Magic Academy is built, it will definitely have considerable influence in all aspects. Magic is the fundamental force that promotes the progress of this world, and its status cannot be underestimated.

If Annelotte can gain a foothold in the magic academy, then she will undoubtedly become Regnar's most powerful and reliable companion. And that's all she wants.

In fact, Annelotte never thought that she had considered so many things for Regnar until now. But the more she resists and avoids many things, the more thoughts and ideas will fly into her mind unintentionally. Finally, Annelotte had no choice but to make up her mind and start her own action. And today will be a very crucial step in her action.

At this time, Annelotte looked at Perelia nervously. The magic cannon was indeed a very complicated magic device. Without someone who is familiar with the structure to advise, Annelotte really has no confidence that she can completely restore it, even if she has the remains of a magic cannon for reference!

Perelia and Annelotte looked at each other, then she turned to Regnar and asked, "I'm curious what will happen if I refuse."

"I can't say for sure." Regna replied lazily: "But I suggest that if you can do it, it's better to agree to her as much as possible. Because even I don't dare to disobey her wishes."

"Ouch!" Regnar originally wanted to say something else, but Annelotte's low-temperature field had already reached his back. The guy was unexpectedly frozen by the low temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero, and immediately let out a miserable cry. Call.

The expression on Annelotte's face remained unchanged, and even her movements remained unchanged. She just secretly dealt with Regnar, who was becoming increasingly arrogant, and then continued to turn her attention to Perilia.

"..." Regnar was so cold that Annelotte was so cold that he could hardly speak at this time.

"Hehe, if I give you a henhouse, will you dare to lay eggs? If I give you some sunshine, will you dare to shine? If I give you a flood, will you dare to flood? Are you going to take care of it? You won't jump around this time? Humph! We Annie are not like that So easy to mess with!" Garona shouted in Regnar's mind, gloating about his misfortune.

"Hey! Who is your apprentice!?" Regnar couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. To be honest, Garona has been treating him well since she got together with him.

But there was only one thing. Garona seemed to despise Regnar's views on emotions. As long as she had a disagreement with any one of Annelotte, Irene or Inelise, Garona would definitely stand against Regnar without hesitation. Moreover, among the three girls, Garona especially liked Annelotte. Irene and Inelise were okay, but whenever there was a problem between Regnar and Annelotte, Garona would definitely jump in and help Annelotte out.

According to Garona, this is because Regnar owes Annelotte too much. Since he can't make up for it himself, it would be reasonable for a teacher to at least offer some verbal support.

Of course, she would not directly jump out to support these girls, but every time Regnar would face the endless quarrels of women in the real world (quarrels were used by Irene and Inelise, as for Annelotte , she usually takes action directly...), while also enduring Garona's cynicism or lashing out in the spiritual world.

Every time at this time, Garona's sudden attack made Regna feel like he was being attacked from both sides (beep~~). Because of this, Regnar hated Garona's help. Originally, Annelotte's material punishment was enough for Regnar to bear. But every time Garona would beat up a drowned dog and spit at Regnar mentally, no one could stand this kind of thing!

"Hmph! If possible, I really want Annie to be my apprentice!" Garona replied confidently: "I may not be able to find such a good girl even if I hold a lantern. You kid doesn't know what kind of dog there is. Shit luck can actually reach her heart. That's right! It must be the luck that your master and I cultivated before it was used up and passed it on to you, an incompetent apprentice, so that you could meet her!"

"What the hell..." Regnar could no longer complain. Garona was usually a good person, but at times like this, she always felt a bit disrespectful...

"Hmph! Too lazy to explain to you!" Garona could see why Annelotte was so focused on restoring the magic cannon, but she became angry when she saw Regna's confused look. As a result, the female orc just snorted coldly and did not explain anything to Regnar.

While Regnar and Garona were quarreling in the spiritual world, Perilia also made her own decision: "I think it would be a good thing to be able to serve Miss Annelotte."

"Very good." Annelotte looked at Perelia, and then said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Ms. Perelia. For safety reasons, I can't unblock you yet. Lock. Please bear with me for a moment before returning to Merindl."

"I can understand." Perilia nodded. Although it is very painful to have magic power imprisoned by the magic seal, Regnar also said before that if you are a prisoner, you should have the consciousness of being a prisoner. Only an idiot would expect to be served with delicious food and drinks at this time.

"As for the remaining people." Annelotte glanced at the other low-level mages: "After returning, I will also give you suitable jobs. Of course, the premise is that you must make your position clear now. You will never be From the moment he was captured, he had only two choices, either to show his loyalty and strength to the empire as a Hawke Empire mage. Or, to use his own life to prove his loyalty to the Stoker Empire."
