"What?!" Earl Weir opened his mouth in a very rude manner and looked at Link: "You said that Her Royal Highness the Princess also has something exactly like the Eye of the Gods given to you by some divine enlightener.
?!"
"It can't be said that they are exactly the same." Link shrugged, still looking relaxed: "At most, it can only be said that they look exactly the same."
"The Eyes of the Gods, the legendary eyes of the Creator God, the most mysterious artifact in the history of the continent," Earl Weir muttered to himself: "In the history of our empire, the creation of the empire has also been recorded.
The first emperor of China once received inspiration from the Eyes of the Gods, so that he could create the foundation of the empire. I never expected that this is true, and that the Eyes of the Gods have always been in our Bavarian Empire?!"
He was born into an aristocratic family in the empire, and he must know much more about the secrets of the empire than Link. However, as time goes by, they both regard these things as more than just stories.
However, the function and status of this Eye of the Gods in the legend are extraordinary, so Count Weir has always been deeply impressed by it.
In the hands of the Divine Enlightenment of the Full Moon Clan, Count Weir had already witnessed the appearance of this legendary artifact. Now that he was so surprised that he lost his composure, it was not because of the artifact of the Eye of the Gods, but because of this originally only artifact.
The surprising fact that an artifact that should only exist in legends has actually been in the hands of the royal family of the Bavarian Empire has been in the hands of the royal family of the Bavaria Empire. From this, we can think of other things in those imperial secrets that have already been revealed.
It was regarded as something ridiculous by nobles like them.
Since the Eyes of the Gods are real, and it is also true that the Eyes of the Gods have always been in the hands of the royal family of the Bavaria Empire, then maybe those other unreasonable things are also true?!
"Things like the Eye of the Gods should be the highest level of secret in any empire." It took Earl Weir a long while to collect his chaotic thoughts and shift the focus of his thinking to the situation in front of him.
, said to Link: "Then this time Her Highness the Princess came to the Sakara Empire with the Eyes of the Gods, is Her Highness the Princess's marriage this time just a pretense? The real purpose is..."
"It's not that, according to their original arrangement, the little princess will still marry a prince of the Sakara Empire after arriving at the capital of the Sakara Empire." Link shook his head and said with a wry smile: "And this Gods
The eye is the dowry from the Bavarian Empire during this royal wedding."
"Using the mainland's number one artifact as a dowry," Count Weir frowned and said with a sneer: "Although the royal family of our empire is a bit extravagant, it seems that they are not so prodigal, right?!"
"I really don't know this aspect," Link spread his hands and said to Weir: "As you know, I am just a poor boy who grew up in a blacksmith shop. Regarding these things, it is more appropriate for you to draw conclusions.
, His Excellency the Great Golden Knight, Earl of Vere.”
"If it weren't for this reason, I'm afraid you are still going to keep hiding it from me?" Will snorted a little dissatisfied, frowned, and asked: "What does Her Majesty think of this matter?!"
"Caros is just a little girl, and didn't you just know that you called her 'Her Royal Highness'?" Link sighed, looked at Will, and said: "Since she was a child, the only world she has been exposed to is
So broad, maybe we shouldn’t ask her what she thinks about some things in the first place?!”
Earl Weir was silent for a while, and then sighed.
Children who grew up in the imperial royal family, especially women who grew up in the imperial royal family, although they are said to have had a noble status and good food and clothing since childhood, in fact, the freedom they can enjoy is extremely limited.
Especially in today's continent, the major empires use marriages between royal children as an important means to regulate and declare the relationships between the major empires. As a child of the imperial royal family, in the marriage
When choosing the above, it can be said that you can only be at the mercy of others, especially the princesses of major empires. It can be said that when they were born, they were destined to marry in a foreign country when they became adults.
It can be said that these princesses who are going to marry far away represent the dignity of the imperial royal family from which they were originally born, so they have to receive strict training in all aspects since they were young. From the time they are sensible, it is almost impossible for them to have anything that they can freely control.
For the current little princess, occasionally listening to the weird and anecdotes from all over the world mentioned by the teachers or guards while she was undergoing various trainings was already her biggest pastime.
It is precisely for this reason that Link, the name that has been spread the most in the capital of the Bavarian Empire in recent years, has left such a deep impression on the little princess. After all, during the training process or sleeping
In the short free time before, thinking about these legends and those legendary characters was already the happiest time of her day.
And in fact, the tragic fate of these imperial princesses goes far beyond that.
There is no longer an open battle between the major empires on the mainland, but privately, they still have their own interests and their own ideas. Therefore, under this peaceful situation that has lasted for who knows how many years, the major empires have
There are still undercurrents between empires, and these imperial princesses, through royal marriages, are destined to enter the upper echelons of the royal families of other empires. Therefore, among the training they have received since childhood, there must be one thing they must learn how to do.
Come to collect useful information and send it back to your home country.
After so many years of intermarriage, this situation has actually become an open secret among the royal families of the major empires. In order to show friendship and sincerity, the royal families of the major empires will allow the married princesses to have limited rights.
Participate in certain secrets and regard these princesses as important channels for transmitting true or false information between empires. Of course, this often involves all kinds of complicated intrigues, but even under the best circumstances,
This also means that these imperial princesses naturally carry the identity of foreign spies. In any case, it is difficult for them to truly integrate into the family after they get married, and it is difficult for people to regard her as one of their own.
It can be said that these imperial princesses have been burdened with something too heavy since they were born. The happiness that ordinary people can have has become something absolutely out of reach for them.
Earl Weil's family originally belonged to the royal guard system of the Bavaria Empire. Earl Weil has often served as a guard in the imperial palace from the beginning. Among the children of the imperial royal family, this is the only one who has not lost his innocence.
He liked the princess the most, so along the way he also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong between the little princess and Link, but he adopted a laissez-faire and even encouraging attitude towards it, but now he thought of what was about to await him.
The tragic fate of the little princess also made her feel depressed.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now." Link had been paying close attention to Count Weir's performance nervously just now. Now seeing Weir's dejected expression, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said to Weir: "
First, tell me what you think of the current situation."
He decided to tell Weir exactly what the little princess told him that night, and he did so after careful consideration.
Although he was not as clear about the fate that the little princess would face after marrying to the Sakara Empire as Count Weir, he at least knew one thing very well, that is, this was a marriage that the little princess was absolutely unwilling to do, and the little princess would never be willing to do so in the future.
, and definitely not happy.
Therefore, as early as that night after the little princess explained everything to him, Link had been wondering if he could find a way to get rid of the little princess's seemingly unchangeable fate.
Before entering the Mage Tower, the people Link came into contact with, whether it was his little daddy or the mentor Calvin he met, were all lawless guys. In the thoughts they instilled in Link, there was no such thing as
More or less loyal to the empire, to the concept of imperial royalty.
The Mage Tower itself is an existence that transcends the power structure on the mainland. After experiencing the experience in the Mage Tower, Link's mind and vision are unknowingly on par with those on the mainland.
Everyone else is very different.
In fact, on the mainland, as long as the ultimate powerhouse is promoted to become the Dharma God, he has the status of looking up to the emperor. However, after spending so long in the Mage Tower with those guys who have already surpassed the Dharma God,
Those imperial powers that may be extremely noble in the hearts of ordinary people, in Link's view, are nothing more than that.
In Link's heart now, the only thing that persists the most is his dream of becoming a great knight.
The mission of a knight is to protect justice and fairness, and to protect the glory of the empire. If he is fighting against the enemy, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Link will certainly not flinch at all, but for such an innocent and cute little boy who is obviously
When a girl sends her to the point of no return, no matter how nice the name is, he will definitely have his own ideas and know how he should choose to do it.
However, Link certainly understands the degree of difficulty in this. Even though he still has no clue yet, he can be sure of one thing. I am afraid that all of this is really indispensable without the cooperation of the Earl of Weir in front of him.
Fortunately, looking at the current expression of Earl Weir, it is still relatively in line with Link's expectations. However, it is not the time to talk about these things in detail yet, so Link avoids the topic again.
"You may not know the royal families of the imperial family, but I have seen them a lot." When Earl Weir heard Link mention this topic, he turned his mind back and said: "Besides interests, among the imperial royal families,
, without any other considerations, the Sakala Empire does not know what kind of price it has paid, and it is really unbelievable that the little princess can bring an artifact like the Eye of the Gods as a dowry!"
"What's so incredible?" Link casually took out the Eye of the Gods given to him by the Enlightened One, flipped it up and down carelessly in his hand, and said, "This thing needs to be brought to our market in Fort Colo
I'm afraid it can be sold as a crystal ball to test magic power, and you won't be able to exchange it for a single silver coin."
"I asked you to be careful. After all, this is also the number one artifact in the mainland." Count Weir was frightened when he saw it, but he didn't dare to reach out to take it. He knew that there was nothing he could do to Link, so he continued with the topic.
Go on: "Even if this thing is just a decoration that can only be seen and not used, it is still the number one artifact in the mainland. If it falls into the hands of you and me, it may have no use, but if it is placed in the hands of those imperial royal families, this
The value of this artifact is simply immeasurable."
"Wait, what did you just say?" Link suddenly thought of something, raised his head, and asked Count Weir.
"I mean, this artifact is of inestimable value in the hands of the royal families of the major empires." Count Weir patiently explained to Link: "You should have heard a lot of legends about the ancient times.
Well, among the upper echelons of the major empires, there are also many legends circulating about the history of the major empires. I used to think that they were all ridiculous things, but now it seems that there are many in these stories.
The things are probably real, and among these legends, the status of the Eye of the Gods can be said to be unparalleled. In almost all the founding legends of the empire, it is mentioned that the founder of their country once came from
Obtaining revelations from the eyes of the gods. It can be said that in all the major empires on the continent, it seems that being able to obtain revelations from the eyes of the gods is a symbol of whether their empire is favored by God, and even among the gods.
The saying that the eyes are the eyes of the Creator God may have been created by the imperial royal family in order to elevate the status of this artifact..."
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Link quickly raised his head, interrupted Count Weir's long speech, and said, "I meant what you just said."
"What words? Which words?" Will raised his eyes inexplicably and looked at Link.
"This thing can only be used as a decoration now. It can only be seen but not used." Link began to throw the Eye of the Gods in his hand again, and said to Count Weir thoughtfully: "Then the value of this thing is actually
That’s all.”
"Didn't I just explain it to you?" Weir frowned: "The value of the Eye of the Gods has long been not just limited to its legendary magical abilities, but also lies in its..."
"I know everything you said," Link shook his head and said, "But we have all seen the power of this thing from the Divine Enlightenment. According to what you just said, in fact, the reason why this thing can
It has such great symbolic significance for those empires. I think it is mostly because of the predictive ability of the Eye of the Gods. Therefore, for the Eye of the Gods, its most fundamental role lies in how to open it.
That is the ability to see everything in the past and future.”
"You mean..." Earl Weir was not a fool. After hearing what Link said, he vaguely guessed something and raised his head.
"Well, according to what you just said, the Eyes of the Gods were mentioned in the founding legends of several major empires on the continent. I think the Sakara Empire is also one of them." Link looked at Count Weir and saw
After he nodded in approval, he continued: "And you just said that based on the royal family's behavior in the Bavarian Empire, it would be impossible to get something of equal or even greater value from it.
The Eye of God is used as a dowry, and if we add the two together, I think we can almost come to a conclusion."
"Yes, the Sakala Empire must also have some method of opening the eyes of the gods." Count Weir's eyes shone. He really had a deep understanding of this continent's number one artifact that he had heard about since he was a child.
He now rubbed his hands and said to himself: "The opening method of the Divine Enlightenment is what I saw when the Full Moon Empire was at its most glorious. The opening method mastered by the Sakara Empire, I don't know.
What can you see from the eyes of the gods?! Will it be about the past or the future?!"
"Why are you so enthusiastic about the Eye of the Gods? Do you also want to be the founding emperor?" Link turned his head and said casually. Looking at Weir's startled look, he smiled.
Said: "As long as you think about where we live now, you can know that what they want to see from the eyes of the gods is definitely not just remembering the past, right?!"
Weir also nodded. This incident caused the two empires to even use a royal marriage as a cover, and provoked officials of Perigueux's level to even kill people. This proves that this time the two empires have opened up a new world.
The revelation that God's Eye hopes to obtain must be related to something crucial.
"Okay, there are only so many things I know." Link finally put away the Eyes of the Gods and stretched his body: "If you really want to know the rest, I think you can only ask others.
Already."
"Someone else? Which someone else?" Earl Weir raised his head: "You mean Her Royal Highness the Princess?!"
"You really don't know who I'm talking about? Are you starting to play dumb now?" Link glared at Will. After the conversation just now, he already had a completely new assessment of Will: "Don't tell me
I’m afraid the little princess doesn’t know much more. Even if she does know something, do you really want to ask her?!”
"Hehe, this", Weir was now familiar with Link. He threw away his aristocratic appearance and seemed to be a lot thicker. He grunted twice casually, dealt with it, and said: "Logically speaking, our mission
It is to escort Her Royal Highness the Princess to the Sakara Empire to get married. Other matters besides that are not our concern."
"But now there are people of Periguet's level in the Saqqara Empire, who want to kill us everywhere. Of course we can't just sit back and die like this." Count Weir said seriously: "Try to find out what they are planning.
, it’s just for self-protection, I think this should not affect the honor and rules of our knights, Knight Link.”
