Earl Weir and Link looked at each other, and both could see the helplessness in their hearts.
Originally, they all thought that as long as they could withstand the attacks of Perigueux and Qi Yun and show their own strength, they would be qualified to sit down and negotiate with Perigueux.
Although they still don't know what Perigueux and Qi Yun want to do, since Perigueux and Qi Yun have taken action to intercept them, it proves that they want to destroy the relationship between the two empires this time.
Marriage, and at least on this point, Link and Perrigue's goals happened to be the same.
But they didn't expect that the results obtained in this battle were actually beyond Link's original expectations. Even Qi Yun was defeated by the great Link Knight's sap trick, but things still didn't go as they expected.
direction of development.
Only then did Link and Earl Weir realize that although the two of them were usually quite scheming, compared with the truly cunning and cunning Lord Periguet in front of them, they still seemed a bit too young to think about things.
They originally thought that this old fox would know how to weigh the interests clearly. As long as the words were spoken, Lord Perigueux would naturally judge that both parties had common interests, and this would become the only basis for cooperation between the two parties, but they did not
What comes to mind is that for an old fox, it is indeed a very simple thing to analyze the pros and cons of the situation at hand in a short period of time. However, for an old fox, trusting one's opponent is the most difficult thing.
things.
Under the same situation, both Link and Earl Weir will definitely choose to give their opponents a little bit of trust. At least they always want to be heroes. They will not hesitate to choose to take risks, but Lord Perigo is very
Obviously insisting on another choice.
"Forget it, Lord Weir, since Lord Perigord doesn't believe us so much, then we have nothing to say." Link said to Weir, raised his head and shouted to Lord Perigord: "Lord Perigord
, I will stay here, Paladin Qiyun, you can come down and pick him up later!"
"You..." Earl Weir looked at them leaving Qi Yun there, looking like he was really about to walk away. He was a little undecided, but seeing Qi Yun still unconscious, for a moment he was still
He didn't dare to rush down like that, but he just shouted worriedly: "What did you do to Mr. Qi Yun?!"
"It's okay, but just now I saw that he was too tired, so I wanted him to have a good rest, but I accidentally hit him a little too hard." Link chuckled: "But it's nothing serious, I just need to sleep for two or three days."
Wake up!"
"No way." Weir saw that Link really wanted to let Qi Yun go and left just like that. Count Weir was a little anxious. He pulled Link and whispered: "Really just leaving like this?!"
He agreed to Link's plan because he always regarded the little princess as his own sister. However, this did not mean that he could be reckless like Link without considering anything. After all, he was not alone.
Behind him, there is the entire Gurkant family.
These aristocratic families are indeed not very loyal to the royal family. However, when they gave up the virtue of loyalty, they also gave up almost all sentimental things. It would take a lot of risk for the Gurkant family to make something.
In matters of high risk, Count Vere's own feelings alone are obviously not enough. Even if Count Vere is the contemporary head of the Gurkant family, he would not dare to make such a decision for such a reason.
The methods that Link mentioned that day that could improve Count Weir's ability to the level of Paladin were actually the excuses that Count Weir had the confidence to use to settle the different voices within his family. After all, as long as he could get a breakthrough from their Gorkan
The shortcomings of the Te family's training method can also make their family add a peak powerhouse of the Holy Knight level. I believe the elders in his family will also feel that it is worth taking a big risk.
But this huge risk is not unlimited. At least it cannot push the entire Gorkant family to the brink of destruction because of this incident. Compared with the Sakara Empire, the king's power of the Bavar Empire is
It can still be considered relatively centralized. If there is such a major incident that breaks the engagement between the two empires, and if Count Vere behaves contrary to his duties and cannot find any reasonable excuse, then I am afraid that the Gorkant family will
The power may not be able to resist the furious emperor of the Bavarian Empire.
What's more, whether it's from the mystery of the itinerary or from the fact that the mainland's number one artifact like the Eye of the Gods is used as a dowry, such a marriage is of extraordinary significance to the two empires.
It was even more decided that in order to achieve the purpose of blocking the engagement, one must not act recklessly.
Earl Weir is different from Link. After being influenced by the old perverts in the Mage Tower, Link basically has a detached mentality towards these emperors on the continent. This time, although he also has his own
However, as long as he had a vague idea, Link would dare to carry out the plan to the end. However, Will had lived in a noble family in the capital of the Bavarian Empire since he was a child. He knew the rules and benefits here.
Much clearer than Link.
In fact, before he formally decided to agree to act with Link, he had already conducted a long analysis and deduction on the possibility of achieving such a goal. Earl Weir, who is familiar with the procedures and methods of these things, still has many things that are reasonable.
There are fair ways to delay or even break the engagement between the two empires, but these methods still require the cooperation of guys like Perigord and Qi Yun who have huge power within the Saqqara Empire.
Therefore, he is now very dissatisfied with Link's attitude of wanting to just throw away his hands and leave. Without the power of Qi Yun and Perigord, he really doesn't know how to achieve their goals.
"Does this guy want to directly use a knight's sword to slash at the two empires?" Earl Weir thought a little depressed: "It's too romantic!"
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Link shrugged, still looking very relaxed: "Lord Perigord doesn't believe us at all!"
"It's okay." Link looked at Count Weir's unhappy look and said loudly, as if to comfort him: "I think Lord Perigo is also a sensible person. There is still a long way to go from here to the imperial capital.
, I believe Lord Perigo will figure it out!"
Of course, Link's heart was not too relaxed, at least not as relaxed as he showed.
Although he was not like Weir who was burdened with a family, he still clearly understood the weight of what he wanted to accomplish.
But now he can't help but show a relaxed look. After all, what he wants is a collaborator and an equal negotiation partner.
He believed that until now, they were not sure what Lord Perigueux's ultimate purpose was to stop them, and Lord Perigueux was certainly not sure how determined he was to destroy the marriage between the two empires.
.
The old fox distrusts not only his opponents, but also probably all emotions in the world, and everything that has nothing to do with interests.
Therefore, Link cannot make Lord Perigo feel how urgent it is for them to cooperate with this old fox. Otherwise, with the character of this old fox, in the next cooperation, I am afraid they will have to deal with it from the beginning.
In an unequal position.
He believed that Perigue, an old fox, would not be confused about the benefits of choosing to cooperate with them. Now this old fox just felt that his safety was not guaranteed. When he and the recovered Qi Yun were reunited,
, after gaining enough strength, they will always come to him and Weir.
Although after arriving at the next stop, soldiers from the 11th Military and Political Council took over, but for people like Perigueux and Qi Yun, those guards were probably useless. As long as they cooperated with Wilken
, it is completely possible to meet without alerting the guards.
Furthermore, Link had already made a decision in his heart. If it really came to a point where it was impossible to do anything, then he would never drag Will into the water again. When the time comes, he would muddy the water and drag the little princess away.
That's all. For what he really wants to do, the great Link Knight will have the courage to face all the consequences.
"Wait!" Perigueux now had no other expression except a wry smile.
"Rookies, absolute rookies." Perrig now made the same evaluation in his mind about Earl Weir and Link. He thought depressingly: "Do these two guys know how to negotiate?"
He also didn't think about how these boys below seemed so free and easy, as if they really wanted to leave as soon as they waved their hands.
In his position, he actually knows much more about the purpose and inside story of this marriage between the two empires than Link and Earl Weir.
Therefore, I am afraid that no one is more eager than him to prevent this marriage between the two empires and the transaction between the two empires, and he is even willing to risk everything he owns and even his family.
The reason why he didn't dare to go on in such a situation was just because he had never figured out this guy Link, and he was really worried that Link and Weir both showed different levels than they seemed to have.
The guy with somewhat inconsistent strength was also part of the deal between the two empires. He was ordered by the royal family of the Sakala Empire to trap him and Qi Yun who were dissatisfied with the imperial royal family. It was not like the imperial royal family used fair and aboveboard methods.
Someone who can deal with tough people.
He was talking to Link and the others just to find out more about the situation of these two guys, but in fact, Link, who didn't know much about the inside story of the marriage between the two empires, couldn't understand it at all.
What exactly was Lord Périgueux worried about, but he just waved his hands and wanted to leave.
But Lord Perigo would never dare to let Link leave like this.
I'm afraid no one knows better than Lord Perigord that whether he chooses to cooperate with Link or the others, or chooses to continue to intercept and kill them, he can only act in this valley. After leaving this valley, this time the conflict between the two empires will
Whether the transaction succeeds or fails, he will not be able to play much role.
Of course, Monsieur Perigueux is not the only one who knows the inside story of this marriage between the two empires. Guys with a similar status to Perigueux, such as the Chancellor of the Eleventh Military Council, must also be insiders.
One, in fact Lord Perigueux even knew that the royal family of the Saqqara Empire had secretly informed his cronies, including the Chancellor of the Eleventh Military Council, that this envoy from the Bavarian Empire must be strictly guarded.
, there is no room for error.
The reason why Link and the others now feel that the guards escorting them are of little use is because they are entering the jurisdiction of Perigord. Soon they will find out what the lineup of guards is waiting for them at the next stop.
The land is powerful, and as far as Lord Perigo knows, there are even powerful ones at the magister level among them.
"Oh? Lord Perigord, have you finally figured it out?!" Link stopped and looked up.
"Wake up Paladin Qiyun, and then I will go down and talk to you." Lord Perigo made up his mind and said to Link: "You can use forbidden magic to temporarily limit the ability of Paladin Qiyun. You are a seventh-level
A magician should also know that even with the strength of my magician, if I want to lift your forbidden magic in a short time, what kind of price must be paid, so this is my final bottom line."
This condition of Lord Perigueux can be regarded as showing a certain degree of sincerity.
Forbidden magic is a very special kind of magic that has emerged on a continent that has been peaceful for so many years. In this peaceful environment, the Magician's Guild also restricts the interaction between magicians who have become nobles.
A life-threatening battle, so a long time ago a genius magic god created a forbidden type of magic.
This kind of magic is not very useful in actual combat, because the casting of this kind of magic not only requires the opponent to completely give up resistance, but also requires preparation for a long period of time. The Magician's Guild stipulates that high-level magic must be used.
In a duel between masters, the loser should accept the winner's forbidden magic. In essence, it is just a small compensation for the prohibition that the winner cannot do anything that endangers the loser's life, no matter what grudges he has.
After all, applying forbidden magic is like putting a mark on the loser. To unlock the forbidden magic, even a guy with a higher rank than the guy who cast this magic will need a longer preparation time than when casting it.
And if it is to be solved in an instant, in addition to the need for the curse-breaker to be of a higher rank than the caster, the curse-breaker also needs to pay part of his life potential as a price.
Forbidden magic was originally created to respond to a peaceful environment. Of course, it will not have a long effect time, and life potential is equal to a person's lifespan. Unless it is forced, no one will be willing to live a short life.
After years of solving such a magic with a limited duration, Lord Perigo proposed such a solution. It can be said that it left him a desperate escape route, and allowed Link and the others to temporarily feel at ease.
, it can be regarded as a method that has the best of both worlds.
However, problems appeared immediately.
"Lord Perigo, I..." Link looked at Perigo with a bitter face: "I don't know any forbidden magic?!"
After forbidden magic has been recognized by the Magician Guild and has become the main method of punishment for the winner in duels between magicians on the mainland, any magician of level six or above who can cast forbidden magic will They are all bound to master the forbidden magic. Now in Lord Perigo's mind, he has already determined that Link is a seventh-level magician with the status of a trainee knight. Therefore, he believes that Link is capable of this kind of magic. It will definitely not be unfamiliar.
But the problem is, Link is not a seventh-level magician at all, he is not even a magician at all.
His ability to simulate effects similar to seventh-level magic relies on his understanding and control of the basic elements between heaven and earth, and all his knowledge of magic comes from the scriptures collected in the mage tower, as well as Those old perverts in the mage tower.
The scriptures collected in the Mage Tower are basically left by the father of the Mage Tower. In that long past, forbidden magic had not been invented at all, and occasionally there were one or two books written by later people on their experiences. , but being able to leave words in the mage tower is such an amazing task, and this itself is an amazing honor, so of course the records are also the most proud and unique magic of those people, so naturally they will not describe this. This is something that almost all magicians on the continent can master.
The old perverts in the Mage Tower were both powerful characters on the mainland back then. For Link, a little guy who was not even willing to be tempted by the Grand Master to become the successor of the Mage Tower, everyone unconsciously Gao glanced at it, and when communicating with him, he tried his best to talk about profound things, for fear that he would be despised by others for speaking superficially. Therefore, there was really no one to tell him about such common sense things.
"Hahahaha, you have finally revealed your true colors," Lord Perigo sneered, stared at Link and the others and said, "Which magic academy or which magic family would not teach forbidden spells to seventh-level magicians? Do you think anyone will believe this excuse?!"
"I..." Link opened his mouth, but finally remained silent.
He really wanted to tell Lord Perigord that he was really a trainee knight, not a magician. He had never attended a magic academy and was not from a magic family. However, before the words came out of his mouth, he felt that such words sounded a little bit even to him. Ridiculous, it’s better not to excite the old fox to the point of madness.
But without his prodding, Lord Perigueux seemed to be going crazy.
He began to recite a long spell, and a bright light shone on his body.
"This guy seems to be desperate, but he won't want to hit us two all at once, right?" Count Weir glanced at Paladin Qiyun lying on the ground and made sure that there was no change in his body, then he frowned. : "Or does he have any helpers?!"
"Huh, I've been paying attention to the area for dozens of miles." Seeing that there were no opportunities for him to perform, Di Lang felt a little depressed. At this time, he interrupted and said: "There is no way there is anyone else in the valley!"
But as if echoing Di Lang's words, just as he finished speaking, a soft voice echoed throughout the valley: "Lord Perigueux, my friend, you finally remembered us?!"
