Divine Alliance, Sbia Empire, Holy Capital.

Holding a glass of wine, Sevek Lando walked outside the door. The atmosphere in the room was too dull. He had to leave the complicated environment for a while, otherwise he would go crazy. When he came to the corridor,

Seeing that there was no one around, he put away his usual slippery and carefree expression and fell into deep contemplation that was far from befitting his age.

In fact, Severk Lando is a smart man. He has skills and wisdom that no noble of his age can possess. He has always played the role of a profligate noble in front of others and behind the scenes. Who would be played by him?

If you are deceived by clumsy illusions, you will end up like those messengers in the room.

But it is very hard to play such a role well.

He is the cousin of the current crown prince of the Pota Empire, and one of the few male relatives of this generation of royal family. The political status quo of the family has determined his fate to be tied to the crown prince...to survive in the center of the empire's power struggle.

Coming down is not an easy task. If the prince successfully becomes emperor, he will be safe and prosperous; if the prince is short-lived, he will not live long.

In such a political battle, the only advantage he and the prince have is that they have the status of a prince, nothing else. Just like this time, the emperor handed over the matter of Sibia to the prince, the prince's jester.

Although there were many people, no one was qualified, so he had to take action in the end - if he hadn't always pretended to be crazy, drank with beggars, and gambled with gangsters, the hostile ministers would not have let him come.

The prince who was in a dilemma hoped that he could make enough achievements in exchange for the emperor's attention. It was under such tremendous pressure that Sevek Lando revealed the unexplained disappearance of Cohen Keda.

Come out... At present, it seems that no one around him can help him, and he has to sing the whole play by himself.

After the news was revealed, envoys from various countries have been busy for several days. As of today's dinner party, a total of five envoys from the empire did not go to the hall. They all gathered in the room behind Severk Landu, secretly arranging the next step.

Plan. Because some of the messengers believed in the deep grace of God, were always stubborn, and had been flirting with Sibia recently, they were excluded by them.

As for the other guy who just came...he belongs to a small empire, but he is still a weakling on the bench, so don't call him that.

Cohen Keda suddenly went out with all his important generals, which was obviously not a trivial matter. But apart from knowing the general whereabouts of His Majesty Cohen, the envoys did not have any more information for inference. Fortunately, the Omat envoy was here

This afternoon it was found out that there was no large-scale mobilization of the Sibia army, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as the threat of war dissipated, a question arose in everyone's mind, what on earth is Cohen Keda doing? Everyone knows that this gangster is a man who is eager for quick success, and the things he is willing to pay attention to in his busy schedule must be very important, and this

This matter was covered up so tightly, there must be something fishy inside.

"This matter is not trivial! It may be related to everyone's interests, and I think we should investigate it." Through the window, Sevik Lando heard a certain messenger speaking his opinion in a low but strong tone:

"After it is found out, not one country will benefit, but the results will be beneficial to all countries!"

Of course there are benefits for you idiots, it just depends on who gets the most benefits in the end... Thinking this in his heart, taking a deep breath, Sevic Lando recovered from fatigue and hit

Pick yourself up and walk into the room again.

Under the bright magic lights, the solemn expressions on the faces of the messengers were clearly visible. They were considering a very serious issue - should they pursue the investigation all the way? Or should they stop here? They were arguing constantly.

"But if you want to trace it, it will be very difficult." A young messenger facing the door was speaking. The awe-inspiring look on his face was clearly seen by Severik Lando: "Normal methods cannot dig out

To come up with valuable clues, the net must be cast very wide, and this cannot be done by one or two empires."

Severk Lando couldn't help but sigh: Because the little princess was recognized by Cohen as his sister, the Liva Empire has always maintained a good relationship with Sibia, but now after comparing it, the envoy decided to give up the little one to protect the big one.

, striving for greater interests, who cares about friendships and relationships? In the face of "national interests", those things are only worthy of being used as a stepping stone.

"Now that we are all on the same boat, it is better to unite." The envoy on the left side of Severk Lando stared at everyone: "My opinion is to separate this task, everyone is responsible for it, and we will do our best to investigate. Pay heavy bribes.

, I don’t believe all the officials in Sibia are so clean.”

Sevik Lando looked at the speaker with a smile and looked in agreement, but he was laughing secretly in his heart: Do you think you can do anything in this world if you have money? It seems that your fat is not only

It’s only on your neck and waist, but also pours into your brain...

"I have no objection! I will instruct my subordinates to cooperate fully." Although he thought so in his heart, Sevik Lando could not show such an attitude. He still looked stupid and spoke like an idiot.

His words motivated the others: "But if you find out any information first, you have to tell me and don't forget it!"

"Don't worry, we can sign a contract first, swearing that all the information we get can be shared by all countries." A messenger with a "sincere" face agreed and patted his chest to Sevic Lando and assured: "But this

This matter is huge, and the cost can be shared equally by all parties."

He sneered in his heart, Severk Lando didn't take this guy's words seriously. The other party's empire was extremely rich, and the nobles were more afraid of trouble. They had to pull others together to do anything. Even if it was something that could be attacked

When it comes to the prestige of the Tansi Empire, this prince-level envoy still has a good idea of ​​putting others in front. When will these noble idiots wake up to the fact that the world has changed, and they are no longer waving gold coins and exposing themselves?

It’s an era when flattery can achieve the goal...

"Okay!" Severik Lando nodded solemnly: "Every time I spend a copper, I will ask the other party to get a receipt."

"Your Excellency Severk, now is not the time to joke!" The voice of another reply sounded a little indignant: "It has to do with the overall situation. What is the small amount of bribe to the other party? It should be worth every penny!"

Seeing that his words had an effect, Sevik Lando was finally relieved. As a mastermind behind the scenes, he is not afraid of anything now, but is afraid that these people will not act... The other party's anger is tantamount to telling him

:I can’t wait!

"Of course it's nothing to you, but I've always been called a prodigal son. How can I explain when I return home after spending too much money?" Regarding this not-so-honest neighboring country, as the powerful envoy of the Pota Empire, Severk Lando

He could no longer treat her with a normal attitude. He shrugged his shoulders and didn't take the other person seriously at all: "Although I am just a big official now, there are many people who are jealous of this position. You are generous and you protect me."

Are you going to be successful?"

"Okay! Everyone listen to me." The guy who thought he was the person in charge raised his hand and made a compromise for the different opinions: "General expenses are borne by each party. We will discuss the large expenses. After all, no one has any

If you come out with a treasury and it is on someone else's territory, if a certain country's spending is too large, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the Sbia Empire, and they are not stupid."

These words came so timely that Severk Lando almost wanted to jump up and cheer! He nodded in agreement, and no one else could object, and the messenger beside him raised another question: "If the development of things requires that the two

What if an empire joins? Will they be allowed to join?”

"It depends on the situation!" The guy who thought he was in charge replied: "Even if they need to join, they can only be regarded as peripherals. The big idea is still ours."

Severk Lando breathed a sigh of relief. From this moment on, the smile on his face could be considered sincere: Ambassador Bansai! You are such a good boy. You are shouting and wanting to be the one in charge. I will let you go.

You're in the limelight. This way, I don't have to stand in a dangerous position. I have a share of the credit for the success of things, and I can get rid of the responsibility for the failure of things... It's really a better situation!

After obtaining unanimous support, the person in charge began to arrange the task. Because the intelligence channels of each country were different, in order to gain something, the envoys made maximum flexible arrangements-a certain country had an inside line in this agency, and a certain agency guarded the back door.

They were people from a certain country, and in the end they were all connected by invisible lines. After things were arranged and all the envoys tried to figure out the plan again, they discovered that the current pattern was that the intelligence channels of various countries were connected to each other, which was already a small network within the alliance.

In order to obtain information, the cost they spent was not small.

"That's it for now. Let's work separately and keep in touch at all times." Envoy Bansai made the final speech: "If there is an important breakthrough, we must notify others in time so that everyone can discuss it."

The envoys nodded in agreement, then went back to their rooms, changed their clothes, and set off separately. Only the Gallo envoy was left in the post house in a daze.

As for our other envoy, Prince Carl Ulysses, he has been very free these days. The day after the envoys started to be busy, His Excellency the Prince found an excuse to leave the inn, and no longer talked with him.

Those people gathered together. As for the excuse... Anyway, there is one less envoy in the post house, and there is one more romantic guest in Fengyue Resort in the Holy Capital.

At this moment, His Highness the Prince is holding a paintbrush and painting in the boudoir of a certain red card. The painting is a pleasant scenery in the garden. There are beauties accompanying him at several desks. The Prince himself is dressed in casual clothes and looks very uncomfortable.

"Your Highness." Outside the door, the adjutant's voice sounded softly: "I have something to report."

The prince was painting a beautiful flower and plant with a concentrated expression. He only made a gesture, and the delicate beauty beside him went over and opened the door.

"Go back to the prince." The adjutant glanced at the people in the room and saw that the beauty had no intention of leaving. The prince did not express any intention, so he had to keep his words more confidential: "They have new actions."

The prince carefully sketched the petals and responded lightly: "Say."

"The envoys from various countries reached an agreement and decided to combine all forces to obtain intelligence. To this end, the envoys used their own intelligence channels and signed a treaty for the sake of confidentiality." The adjutant explained the assignment of the envoys' tasks in detail, including

Someone is cheating and refusing to give money: "They have already started to take action. What should we do? Please tell me from the prince!"

"Those who work hard control others, and those who work hard control others. Just let them take action, and we will wait and see what happens." His Royal Highness took a step back and looked at his masterpiece carefully: "You only need to keep an eye on one of them.

Just be stupid."

"Idiot?" the adjutant was stunned: "Your Highness is talking about the messenger of Bota, Severk Lando? Your Majesty, go and handle it immediately!"

"That's wrong. Although Severk Lando looks dull, he is not a fool." The prince took up his pen and added a stroke on the flower: "The biggest fool is probably the arrogant guy.

"

"I understand, I will keep a close eye on the Bansai envoy." The adjutant made a military salute: "Resign."

The prince put down the brush in his hand again, and after looking at it for a long time, he nodded and smiled.

"It's finally finished. I didn't expect the prince to be so elegant." The hostess of the room just closed the door and came back, offering a glass of wine: "Although I don't have any appreciation level, I can feel that this painting gives people a sense of elegance.

A sense of tranquility and serenity.”

"As people get older, they will probably only be able to draw this kind of thing." The prince sat down on the chair by the window: "Are you disappointed?"

"No way! How could the graceful Prince say such a thing?" The beauty replied obediently: "You are very healthy! Your vitality is not inferior to that of the young man just now."

"I was still wondering why your mouth became so sweet. It turns out that you have fallen in love with my adjutant." The prince laughed: "It doesn't matter, I can help you. He is a nice young man."

"It depends on what you said." The beauty blushed: "How can others think highly of my... status?"

"The blue rose, one of the three flowers of the Tansi Empire, what else can't be worthy of an adjutant?" At this point, the prince looked like he suddenly realized: "Are you lying if you are a prostitute but not a prostitute?"

"The prince is making fun of me." The beauty blushed even more and quickly changed the subject: "It's rare! Why is the prince so happy?"

"When someone is in trouble, I am naturally happy." The prince's face was very calm: "When I was young, I was a bad boy."

That night, the Bansai envoy who was being followed secretly met with a Sibian noble. By coincidence, the meeting place was not far from where the prince stayed, which was also a romantic resort.

The nobleman who met with the Banse envoy was also an important member of the aristocracy of the Sbia Empire - Earl Siga. The reason why the Banse envoy chose him was because Earl Siga was in Cohen some time ago.

Your Majesty has encountered many problems. More importantly, during the Civil War in Sbia, this nobleman took refuge in the Bansai Empire and had some personal relations with the envoy himself.

"The Earl is here, please hurry up!" As soon as Earl Xiga appeared at the door, the Bansai envoy greeted him with a smile on his face: "I have wanted to chat with you for a long time, but unfortunately I can't find time. I haven't seen you for many days, Your Excellency.

How is your health?"
