49: The Emperor of the Cricket Empire
Mishan was curious about when Balgoff, who had already filled more than ten glasses of honey, would go to the toilet... The capacity of the Nords' wine glass should be called "Za" before Mishan travels through time.
Iriles, who was sent out by Balgoff to arrange things, returned to Longxiao Palace. After coming in, the dark elf guard who had been beautified by the MOD nodded to the lord he served with an expression that the matter had been done.
Mishan noticed that the bald butler named A and the one who had gone out with Yiriles did not come back with him.
"Where is your butler?" Mishan asked Balgoff in a tone as subtle as her eyes.
When he heard Mishan's question, he immediately knew what Mishan was asking, Balguff said: "Avenzi is an imperialist, and he does not know much about the election method of the Supreme King of Sky."
As long as you have some understanding of the customs of various races and countries on the Tamriel continent, you can understand what this sentence of Balgoff means.
In the election of the Supreme King of Skyrim Province, the most common method used by the Nords is very consistent with the title of "barbarian". Simply put, it is to fight each other until all opponents fall down.
It can be a one-on-one fight or a war.
As long as you win with dignity, the Nords will recognize your status.
The Supreme King elected at the meeting and voting was more like an excessive product in most Nords before the emergence of the real Supreme King. This is why Elisif, the widow of the former Supreme King Toiger, inherited the legal status of the "Supreme King" and did not take Elisif seriously in other regions, from lords to civilians.
It doesn't matter if the empire's support is not counted, let alone because of the Platinum Agreement, the empire's authority in Skyrim Province has also dropped to freezing point.
With this custom, every Supreme King selection competition in Skyrim Province is a war that covers Skyrim Province. This behavior may be so normal in the eyes of the Nords, but in the eyes of the empires of Selodir, any act of dissatisfied with the Supreme King arranged by the Empire and thinking of becoming the Supreme King is tantamount to rebellion.
The appearance of an imperial man as a steward next to Balgoff is obviously a political compromise.
As the lord who controls the Snowman Territory, even without Mishan's assistance, the power that Balgoff could mobilize was enough to match the power of the Empire in the Sky Province and the power of the Storm Cloak... The fact that the lord of the Snowman Territory became the Supreme King of the Sky is not uncommon in the history of the Nords.
Balgoff had no such plan before because, after weighing the trade-offs, he believed that for his own ambitions, the residents of Skyrim Province should not be thrown into greater war.
Now he would take the butler who knew he was from the imperial faction alone, which proves that Balgoff had listened to Mishan's suggestion.
Maybe it was because of Zoe's identity as a dragon descendant, maybe it was because of those thousands of enchanted weapons, maybe it was because he felt that the current situation in Skyrim Province had reached a time to change.
"I must admit that I did have the urge to become the Supreme King, especially when I knew that the Platinum Agreement signed by the Empire and the ancestors of Shenzhou required us to give up our faith in Talos." As soon as Balgoff spoke, he was straightforward and refreshing as a barbarian.
"Then why did you give up?" Mishan shook the black thorn honey wine in the glass and asked Balgoff. The black thorn honey wine produced in the Black thorn family in Rift Valley has become the highest-end drink of the Nords. Maybe it's because this honey wine is the only filtered one among all the Nords' drinks. At least among the several types of Tianji Province drinks that Mishan has drunk, this one tastes the best, and the other ones are full of dregs in one sip.
"Because it's not worth it." Balguff's answer was not beyond Mishan's expectations, because the homonym of the name is always called "Eighth Uncle". The Lord of Xueman City is a kind lord who will give up his ambitions for people's peace and stability.
Generally speaking, it is not a good thing to be evaluated as a ruler, but in the game, Balgoff also reflects that his kindness is based on his own restraint, not his cowardice... When war is really unavoidable, he will also pick up weapons.
"If you are still wondering why I will assist you, rather than Alisif or Ulfric." Mishan said with a satisfied expression: "Your answer is the biggest reason."
"...I am honored..." Balguff, who did not expect Mi Shan to give such an answer, said something that was very inconsistent with the style of a man. As for other reasons other than this biggest reason, Balguff was also very tactful and did not ask much.
Farenjia, the palace magician who was still drinking to relieve his sorrows, was just showing off his attitude of just dying of drunkenness at the table and said:
"Sir, no matter whether it is recruitment and training of recruits or these weapons, it is impossible to hide it from Dugu City and Ulfric for too long."
The current appearance of this palace magician is completely invisible to the drunkenness before.
After telling the first issue he was worried about, Farenjia paused for a moment and continued: "And then our soul stone reserves are not enough to support the logistics supply of so many enchanting weapons... Of course, even if those weapons are exhausted, they are excellent weapons."
Anyway, with Farenjia's insight, I have never seen anyone who can use ebony weapons and ebony armor as general equipment to equip the troops.
"Then complete the recruitment and training of recruits before the Empire and Ulfric react. Only the little doll who has not yet learned to drink will take several days like the weak Empire people to learn to get a firm weapon." Erindir, who was drinking to relieve his sorrows with Farenjia, said loudly with a mouthful of alcohol.
Although this old blacksmith is a member of the Gray Mane family, judging from the fact that he can appear here and be qualified to express his opinions, his identity does not only represent the Gray Mane family that fights against the Warmad family every day because of the Platinum Agreement... Or, if Balgoff can become the Supreme King of the Sky, it also conforms to the Gray Mane family's belief in Talos.
To be precise, if Balgoff wants to officially enter the competition for the Supreme King of Skyrim Province, his position is closer to the Storm Cloak, but he is not limited to the independence of Skyrim Province like Storm Cloak.
With Zoe, the dragon descendant, Balgoff needs to do, to support Zoe as the Supreme King of the Sky to become the new imperial emperor, and to let those usurpers who only know how to lose their power and humiliate the country go down.
Just like Wufuhas, who followed Taber Septin.
After Zoe trains enchantment to the full level at the fastest speed, basically make all the thousands of weapons into enchant weapons according to their quality.
Balgoff and his confidants have already finalized most of the matters about raising the flag.
The matter was finalized at such a fast speed because even the most cautious Farenjia could not think of how an army with per capita enchanted weapons and equipment would lose to the other two forces.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are 500 soldiers with this equipment, they can go from the east side of Skyrim Province to the west side, the west side to the east side, from the skyrim to Gaoyan, from the Gaoyan car to the hammer drop, and from the hammer drop car to the ancestor Shenzhou.
From the First Age to the present, no unit has ever possessed such luxurious equipment.
"Hey? Master, do you really want me to be the emperor of the empire?" Zoe, who was almost broken due to continuous mechanical work, lay down on the long table and rumbled for several times. After drinking, he asked Mi Shan in a surprised tone.
"Do you think what I was talking about before was joking?" Mishan said to Zoe.
"That's not...well, I thought you were deliberately making me happy, Master." Zoe scratched his silver-white hair and said awkwardly.
"What do I do to make you do in this kind of thing?" Mi Shan said with a smile: "Even if you really become the emperor of the Empire, you are just the ruler of the Tamriel continent, which is far behind your other sisters."
Including those who have become Mishan's substitute and allow Mishan to instantly learn various combat skills, all the game characters directly default to having the identity of the Supreme Lord of the Renjie League. Stomping feet can affect dozens of worlds and hundreds of billions of people's lives.
It is embarrassing to say too much about crickets.
