Chapter 4 From afar (4)
Gonzalez shrugged, what's there to say?
Chenxi headquarters will sooner or later notify the Revenge Army, but it is just a matter of time. He has made an oath that must not be leaked.
Before Black could have time to have an attack, Alicina said that she wanted to talk to the Grand Duke of Befest alone. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and gave up the command post. She wanted to spread the anger on Link, but she didn't expect that Link would find Gillard on her excuse for something, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Link didn't want to be a punching bag. Black was stubborn and stubborn, and he belonged to the type of "I don't care who you are". Even with the identity of the son of nature, he might still be scolded for being so terrified. So he put oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.
The troops of the Watchtower were stationed in the outer city. After the siege, the place was once again filled with people.
Without asking for directions, following the divine power contained in the magic martial arts he made, Link soon found the one where Gillard was in the dense tent. The barrier outside the tent was touched. Before Link lifted the curtain, Gillard walked out by himself and bowed respectfully. This scene shocked everyone nearby, especially the newly joined after the siege.
"Who is that? Master Gillard is the number three person in Watch Castle, and he actually wants to salute him?"
"I don't know, I'm quite young, and I don't look like a nobleman in my sight."
"Alkin?"
People talked a lot, and it was not until the soldiers who had experienced the Battle of Grantham that they knew that this young man, who was only in his early twenties, was the son of nature from another world who had been discussed the most recently after dinner.
Not seen for several months, Gillard's strength has improved slightly from the last time he left, but compared to Link, he is just a slight witch.
As the first guide, Link, who had first met with Gillard, is still an ignorant candidate who could not even use his own power. Now, he is a master-level apostle, and is one step away from legend. All he lacks is more experience against the enemy and his own power.
It's such a jealous growth rate... Gillard thought to himself that in less than half a year, he has gone from knowing nothing to being able to stand alone. The Son of Nature is really a bug-like existence.
After thinking about it, Gillard dared not talk to Link with his past attitude. He lifted up the door curtain and let Link enter his magic tent. The falling door curtain blocked the curious eyes from all directions and the peeping.
"You came to me specifically for…"
Link didn't beat around the bush and explained his purpose directly, "It's about the strange thing I gave you, which has some irreparable flaws. When I came to see Gonzalez, I thought about making one for you by the way."
Girard was full of doubts, thinking that he had an average relationship with Link, and he was not even a friend, and he would not be so arrogant as an enlightenment tutor. With Link's current status, even if the strange things he made had serious flaws, is it necessary to reset them for his own little character, which is not very important? That is a real strange thing that consumes fate and soul energy. Even if Link cares about his good friend Gonzalez, he would not need to use this method to achieve the goal of winning over the young man who became chaotic because of Alex's sudden death. He only needed to build a temple like he did at Vaulet and stay in the Watchtower Castle with the excuse of fighting against the dead, which could have a sufficient deterrent effect.
Link had already thought of countermeasures about Gillard's suspicion, "To be honest, if it weren't for the inappropriate law of causality used in the production, it would endanger the survival of Watch Castle, and I wouldn't have made this request to you."
With the reason that it would harm Watch Castle, Gillard could not refuse Link's request no matter how suspicious he was. In addition, Link promised to do it again, so he could only pretend to be generous and take out the strange things he carried with him from the space bag.
When I saw the big eyeballs I made again, Gulu Gulu turned up and down, and felt a little disgusting. Link also regretted his impulse at the beginning. Even if the emblem of Bree was his eyes, there was no need to make it move.
"Is this still the look? Maybe you want to change one?"
Gillard said that he wanted to be exactly the same, which was very shocking.
Link twitched the corner of his mouth and stripped off the soul energy that formed the main body of the strange object, and then extracted new magic spirits from his body to inject it. Whether it was in shape, color, and function, he bet on Gillard's desire and ambition for magic. Except Gillard himself, no one knew that the strange object he obtained from the son of nature had been replaced.
Retrieve the last magic weapon that imparts a law of cause and effect, Link breathes a sigh of relief.
Finally, I got through the trouble I created and had a brief conversation with Gonzalez. It was time to set off. I delayed in Vaulet for too long and didn't have much time left for him. I had to get the power from the pillar of fire before Shuanghan came up with a new conspiracy. If Shuanghan or other gods knew this secret... the consequences would be unimaginable!
The curtain was lifted from outside, and Gillard bowed again and greeted the people: "Grand Duke."
The talk was over so soon?
Link turned around and saw that Gonzalez's face was solemn that was inconsistent with his age.
"I need to talk to you."
Following Gonzalez out of Girard's magic tent and came to the big tent that once belonged to Alex. Link couldn't help but sigh that he had just arrived in Edgar, and he would definitely not have thought that he would bring such a big change to the world.
After walking back and forth for a few times, Gonzalez's eyebrows were deeply wrinkled by his worries.
"The Morning Clan intends to support me as the new Regent."
This is the purpose of the great priest talking to Gonzalez alone? Link rubbed his chin and guessed that this matter was somewhat credible.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Gonzalez, but that he doesn’t trust Chenxi. The great priest’s doing this is definitely the authorization of the priest. What is Francesca’s purpose of tempting Gonzalez?
"What do you think?"
"I personally think that it is fake to let you take over Kolk's regent position, and it is true to test your mentality of confronting the dead."
Gonzalez nodded, "I think so too, so I refuse."
Link gave him a thumbs up to show his support.
"Let's talk about whether my young master can convince the public. As the princes are now in a mess, it doesn't make any sense even if I sit in the regent position. What's more, the support for the Chenxi Sect is to give up the territory of Befest and the army of the Watchtower, move into the new capital, and then let his head break down, and then he will agree to their request." Gonzalez waved his hands repeatedly.
Only a fool would agree... Link had a black line. Didn't Francesca make Gonzalez choose to give up in disguise? Who would agree with a territorial noble? No! He suddenly thought of the Duke of Esson who lived in Vaulet, whose territory was occupied by Cabernet. If he couldn't think about it for the time being...
"Is the successor to regent only targeting you, or all the princes?"
"Of course, it's facing all the great nobles." If you only target yourself, why bother Gonzalez.
Now Link paced back and forth.
What is the point of doing this for the Grand Priest? Although the Regent is just an empty title and has no real power, he is always a nominal human leader. If someone really fills the gap in the Kolk family, then the Mirror Hall meeting will be held in the future, and the Regents, not the Six Great Princes.
This temptation to Duke Esson is really great. He lost his territory and stayed in the territory of his second son, both the noble and the father were embarrassed. Moreover, if he succeeded as a regent, it would be helpful to Sevis, both openly and secretly. Tsk... the priest was intentional! Anyway, the nobles couldn't put much effort into fighting against the undead. Instead of letting them make trouble for themselves, it would be better to use an empty position like the regent, which has no actual influence on the overall situation to divert the attention of the princes. This trick is really amazing! The old man Francesca's scheming is much better than before.
After thinking it through, Link comforted Gonzalez so that he didn't have to worry. This was the strategy of the Chenxi Sect to divert the attention of the princes.
"Plan? The war is imminent, why are they still doing these meaningless things..." Gonzalez hammered the sand table flat on the wooden table. The power was so great that the entire sand table turned to the ground, making a huge noise. Immediately, several people rushed in, and Link swept over them one by one, all of them were acquaintances, Alex's adjutant Hobbes, personal guard Henry, current commander Dante, and even the consul Abigail were there. It can be said that all the important members of the Watch Castle have come.
"Yo~" Link raised his hand and greeted them. The expression on each face was different.
These people gathered from all over the fortress after they learned that the Son of Nature had arrived. Except for Dante, everyone was suspicious and alert towards Link. Compared to a Son of Nature who came from another world, Kolk had a closer relationship with Longyan Castle. Regarding Princess Franny's depravity, most people thought that Link was doing something bad because she hindered the Son of Nature's alliance plan. These people were even more worried that Link would deal with Gonzalez with the same method.
Aware of the stalemate of the atmosphere, Gonzalez cleared his throat, "Everyone..."
Before he finished speaking, Link took a step forward, "I will not be an enemy of mankind until I completely defeated the Immortal Empire and pulled the God of Death off the throne of God. Can you rest assured?" He never mentioned the name of Gonzalez, nor did he say the title of Grand Duke of Befest, but used the word "human" that is more applicable.
Everyone's faces changed repeatedly, and Dante sighed helplessly. This "guarantee" completely confirmed the rumors that the pillar was about to destroy humanity. Why didn't he know how to avoid such sensitive and dangerous topics, and he even said it stupidly.
Chapter completed!
