"This is the news sent back by General Vogel. The situation in the direction of Fars Fortress has not changed much. The general believes that the 'relationship' between us and the principality is relatively stable, but we think... oh, oh
,Okay, I understand, we will convey your instructions to the general."
"Mr. Field is still attending various banquets in the city today. It seems that he is very comfortable with the new task you have assigned to him. According to the plan, today he will meet with the new Princess Curantes of Yatta County, and who is said to be about to
Old Senator Fordson, who has stepped down to make way for his superiors...is, following orders."
"Diplomats have also been sent from the Free City. I heard that he is one of the candidates to succeed the Twelve Thrones. Although the information shows that they have an inseparable connection with the adventurer, we have never heard of him.
Name, considering the usual style of the Shadow Society, this 'representative' who has all the procedures and certificates is probably disguised... Ah? Denton Rondall? Of course we know this famous wanted criminal, but that person is not
he."
"Of course the Magic Empire will not send anyone to participate in this grand event, and there is no trace of the magic signal we sent to the depths of the Lesser Andachel Mountains. But if they come uninvited by then, it will still be a trouble after all——
According to His Highness's instructions, we have contacted Sky City, and they said they will do all the defense work related to magic."
"This level of defense arrangements cannot prevent thieves."
Still sitting in the luxurious hall in the aristocratic district of Tania that was used as the temporary imperial embassy, Princess Reina's voice finally became louder at this moment while she kept sending informants and intelligence agents with various orders.
A little bit: "The magic level of the Wizards Council is trustworthy, but their experience with enemies is not trustworthy. Most of the main force in the current Magic Empire activities are also composed of adventurers. Those cunning foxes are not the magicians of the Wizards Council.
The geese can handle it easily."
"Wiggins and his seven-member council must have realized this, Your Highness." A reporting intelligence officer lowered his head and continued to explain: "The extent to which the Mage Council has been accepting assistance from adventure groups has been increasing in recent times.
, many powerful adventurers have also formed a large scale in the Sky City, and as long as the time is right, the scene of 'adventurers versus adventurers' will reappear."
"Just like when we attacked the city of Tania." The eldest princess took a deep breath, half-lying on the luxurious wooden chair with her cheeks in her hands, and gently blew the black gauze curtain in front of her: "Today
Times are different from the past, and the adventurers are becoming stronger and stronger. Maybe one day in the future, they will become the biggest threat in the world."
"This is indeed something worth noting, but we all agree that they do not pose a threat yet." The intelligence officer in a black dress replied, stroking his chest: "The most important point is: they are not united enough."
"A group that only knows how to attack and compete with each other cannot become a unified existence that threatens us."
The intelligence officer said these words and at the same time pointed his sight at a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the bright hall. The complex patterns reflected in the high-level platform area belonging to the Tania Church area also followed the intelligence officer's movements.
Catching Princess Reina's eyes, her original elegant and lazy demeanor also changed a bit with the busy players there: "You are referring to the so-called '
Let’s compete.”
"I heard that this kind of duel-type competition has become a routine, but this time they temporarily moved it to Tania to hold it." A group of intelligence officers still explained in a hurry: "And according to the content of the rumors,
In this duel, the adventurer plays a big role."
"It can almost be considered as the reason why they held the so-called 'competition' this time."
"I don't know how he provoked so many adventurers. Every adventurer who participated claimed that they wanted to defeat him."
"It's just like when Emperor Frey first established the arena, isn't it?"
The corners of her mouth hidden by the black gauze curved slightly, and Princess Reina's tone became much more casual: "The 'Martial Arts' incident that caused a lot of noise some time ago is also a foreshadowing of this competition.
Huh? That group of adventurers with different ideas and unbridled imagination can really cause any trouble."
"But Your Highness, will this have any impact on our plan?"
"Won't."
Interrupting the low-pitched inquiries of the intelligence officers and staff, Rena put away her smile and raised one of her arms: "You'd better not get involved or interfere in this matter. Although the adventurers are fighting among themselves,
But they are not stupid. If we are found to have secretly interfered, it will be a blow to our empire's reputation and our future."
"Just continue to monitor the situation. Pamir and the others should be the ones who have the headache."
After sending away the group of staff, the noise in the hall gradually turned quiet with the flow of people. Lott, who had been standing silently behind Reina, also raised the face protector in front of the heavy helmet at this time, carrying the perseverance with him.
A confused look appeared in the air: "Your Highness——"
"I told you that when we are alone, you must call me Reina."
Reina, who rolled her eyes at the other party's face and turned slightly sideways, continued angrily: "Also, have you ever had any doubts about my control ability? How could you possibly escape the actions of that group of adventurers?
my eyes?"
"That's not the case, Your Majesty - Your Majesty Rena." It seemed that he had made the biggest concession in the title. Lott, with a deep voice, held his fists and lowered his head: "It's just that the changes in the current situation have surpassed ours.
Imagine, as your designated personal guard, I must put your safety first, so——"
"Really? That really worries you." Holding her hands high and stretching, Princess Rena showed her slender and graceful body in the reflection of the light: "But the situation is not like yours.
It's as bad as I imagined, after all, the person at the center of the vortex is already mine."
"You mean the time before?"
"That's right."
Shaking her head and assuming a proud posture, Reina closed her eyes and enjoyed the surprised look from her personal guard: "This is the effect of betting early. At that time, who can see the value he will create later?"
"But His Majesty the Emperor has no intention at all - well." The words stopped in mid-air, and Lott, who hurriedly covered his mouth, lowered his voice again and inquired: "You, do you want to -?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Reina rolled her eyes at the other person's face, curled her lips and looked away from the dull-looking person: "Forget it, don't ask any more questions, just do what I want.
That’s fine.”
"Come on, next guest."
Following her raised voice, a figure pushed open the door and walked into the hall with a creaking sound. He passed the imperial royal guards on both sides and then walked calmly.
Representing the bright red carpet of the Fleur Empire, the familiar salute also stopped a few meters away from Reina: "Meet Your Highness."
"What the report says is - the envoy of the Eastern Sacred Mountains." Rena, who was still lying on the luxurious wooden chair while flipping through a thin piece of paper in her hand, raised her eyelids and looked back at the other party: "No.
Did you think it was you?"
"Haha, we are all old acquaintances, and we save a lot of red tape, right?" Withdrawing his salute, the middle-aged man named Amman Antel shook his hands and fluttered the red and black velvet cloak behind him.
Looking into the air: "However, time has passed, and now I am no longer the president of the Adventurers Association, but one of the representatives from the Continent of Wind."
"Out of their trust in me and my familiarity with the Fleur Empire, they gave me full authority to handle the affairs here." He walked aside unceremoniously, and Anman, who regarded him as one of his family members, then sat down to mind his own business.
On the seat beside him: "How is it?"
"Your Highness is not the only one who knows how to place bets, right?"
*************************************
"Is it really okay to leave all these matters to that Amman?"
At the same moment, in the corner of a tavern in Tania City, Chaori Dongsheng, who had arrived here at some unknown time, was raising his head and drinking wine non-stop. The appearance of eating happily also paused in the conversation between them.
Moment: "You better not mess this up."
"How do I know if it's reliable or not? Since the leader thinks it's OK, then we have nothing to say." Gedman, who was also nesting here, drank sips of wine in a regular and steady manner: "Unless you can still
Find a more suitable candidate, and at the same time, that person has such a leisurely mind."
"Well, everything can be attributed to our lack of manpower." So Asahi Dongsheng lay back on his seat with his mouth full: "They really didn't plan to recruit troops at this time, and it was a waste of time.
Opportunity."
"I think this is quite good. It saves a lot of trouble." Goldman sipped his wine glass and shook his head: "Do you really want to have 1,800 so-called 'brothers', and then drag so many people with you every day?"
A big team swaggering around and enjoying the trouble they cause? I don’t want to taste this kind of life anymore.”
"I don't want to either."
Chao Ri Dongsheng, who drank a big gulp of wine, let out a sigh of contentment and looked at the other party with side eyes: "Anyway, we have come to this point, they can do whatever they want, I just do what I want."
That’s fine.”
"Are you sure you're not lazy?" Goldman looked back at the other party with a wine glass in his hand: "Did you forget something when you went to Jianghu earlier?"
"Oh, that was a mistake, a mistake." Waving his hand towards the other party, Asahi Dongsheng laughed and said perfunctorily: "And even if we didn't remind Duan Fenglei, the situation hasn't changed much. Let's treat it as a warning to them.
Wouldn’t it be good to have a test?”
"I don't want to see any accidents. This is causing trouble for ourselves." Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Goldman replied solemnly: "The Empire, the Principality, the Council of Mages, and ourselves.
The professional team around us - there can be no mistakes in every aspect. As an organizer, at least these should be done."
"Although the situation is the most complicated, your side has the most people. I hope we won't miss it again."
Leaving these last words behind as the end of this impromptu meeting, the Shield Warrior stood up and left the place. The drinking and conversation between the two people did not cause any disturbance in the tavern, but it seemed to have caused some disturbance in the tavern.
The attention of a drinker - watching Goldman disappear outside the swaying door of the tavern, the drinker squatting in front of the bar pointed to the bartender in the direction of the rising sun, and then led himself as if he was a drunkard.
With quick steps and a wine glass in his hand, he arrived at the table of Asahi Dongsheng who had not yet left: "...don't go too far."
"Excessive? What are you talking about?" Asahi Dongsheng, who seemed to know the identity and purpose of this stranger's visit, did not stop his turbulent movements in front of the sumptuous wine table: "Didn't I do a good job? He is simply professional.
The professional among masters, the master among masters——"
"These inconsiderate words have no effect on us." Interrupting Asahi Dongsheng's words, the drinker finally showed a trace of impatience on his face: "You'd better have an explanation.
And explain, otherwise..."
"What are you doing? Can you still eat me?" Faced with the deliberately protracted words of the drinker who covered his face with a hood, Asahi Dongsheng rolled his eyes indifferently: "I will die anyway, you love me
You can deal with it however you want, but I want to remind you: without me, the fishing lines you have worked so hard to accumulate for so long will be in vain."
"you!"
The drinker, who almost slapped the table and stood up, fearing to attract attention, finally calmed down his angry voice with a heavy breath: "The other party's cunning and ability exceed the imagination above. There will be no room for mistakes this time. We also understand
You want to keep your job, but your procrastinating behavior is impossible to satisfy."
"What's the rush? You just wait honestly, and you will get what you should have in the end." Asahi Dongsheng reminded the other party with his eyes wide open: "The result of being impatient is the same fate as before: not only the 'hidden mine' that was deliberately planted before
It has not achieved any results, and even Yunmeng himself has been exposed. You still overestimate yourself and underestimate each other."
"...Okay, I can convey your meaning for you." He nodded slightly, and the drunkard who fell silent completely hid his face in his hood: "If it is reasonable and well-founded, I can also convey it to you."
Convince the superiors and let them cooperate with your plan."
"Then just sit here honestly for now."
Patting the opponent's shoulder, Chao Ri Dongsheng gestured towards the direction opposite his table. A short player figure followed his action of lowering the opponent's figure and opened the door of the tavern in the distance. Under his low
He walked into the tavern hall with a warning.
"Watch a good show with me first."
