"The movement in the Ayala Forest must have been caused by your Excellency. It seems that the harvest is not small. I wonder if you have anything to ask for advice this time?" Figas looked at the smiling man in front of him and sighed in his heart.
Tone, whoever asked her to live here, she couldn't hide even if she wanted to.
Lin Jiu actually wanted to ask Figas for more information about Lafayette, but considering that the other party also came from the Magic Guild. Her awe for the Magic Guild prevented her from revealing more information.
.It’s not that he is loyal to the Magic Guild, but more that he is afraid of getting into big trouble.
"I still want to ask Ms. Figas about the place where Sophie went when she finally left." Unable to ask for information about Lafayette, and not planning to stay here for a long time, the only information Lin Jiuneng could ask from Figas was about
Sophie's.
"I don't know the exact location. I probably went in the direction of the Ice and Snow Kingdom." Figas didn't discuss any more deals. He directly pointed the direction to Lin Jiu and asked him to leave here as soon as possible to save him from running back and forth every three days.
Come and ask questions about this and that.
"The Kingdom of Ice and Snow..." Lin Jiu remembered that the fourth-level contractors were teleported to this area. He might also want to get closer to this area. Although the location of the devil that Dennis told him was not within the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, it was also next door.
.It is a direction along the way, so this trip is unavoidable.
"Ms. Figas, have you ever seen a magic crystal ball with your own eyes?" Lin Jiu asked by the way.
"No. But I suggest you stay away from that thing. You must have taken care of all the guys in Ayala Forest." When Figas heard Lin Jiu's question, he knew the guy in Ayala Forest who planned the crystal ball.
Being solved by Lin Jiu meant that the magic prop of the crystal ball fell into Lin Jiu's hands.
Figas has never really seen a magic crystal ball, so he doesn't know that there is a soul like Dennis in it. But as Sophie's stepmother, she still vaguely knows that this thing is the inducement of evil personality. So she has no idea about the crystal ball.
"I'll take my leave now. See you again if we have the chance." Unable to get any more news from Figas, Lin Jiu was not prepared to stay here and took Gungun with him towards the outside of the town of Metz.
He unfolded the rough map of the continent of Oz that Honglian found from the document room of the guard camp in Metz Town, and checked the route they were going to take next.
As the name of the Ice and Snow Kingdom suggests, the entire country is basically cold all year round, and more than half of the territory is covered with ice and snow. It is located in the north of the Dussel Kingdom where Lin Jiu is currently located. The location marked by Dennis is next door to the Ice and Snow Kingdom, and it does not belong to any
The stateless territory of the Kingdom.
This stateless territory is called Modan, and it is said to be the territory of an independent lord. This lord is powerful, but does not like to manage the territory, so Modan is the favorite gathering place for wanted criminals and villains from the surrounding kingdoms.
There are rumors that you can do whatever you want in Modan, but you have to pay attention to one thing, that is, you can't make too much noise. Once it attracts the lord's attention, he will think it is a trouble and will deal with both parties.
Lin Jiu's first choice is not the country of Ice and Snow Kingdom. This is the initial place for the fourth-level contractors. He just broke into it so rashly. That is a reckless act. If there is a fight with the contractors in the Ice and Snow Kingdom, he will start
It won't be an advantage.
Modan, a place where fish and dragons are mixed, is more suitable for Lin Jiu to go to. He can temporarily avoid the Ice and Snow Kingdom where the fourth-level contractors have almost established a foothold, and he can also get all kinds of information in this place.
"Ouch?"
"That guy Honglian has no problem, and he will not act with us in the future." Lin Jiu informed Honglian of his situation through the adventure group.
Honglian is still in the city of King Muser. Maybe Lin Jiu is not like the prince who came into contact with Honglian. Honglian has some thoughts. The source of Honglian is the original sin field, and it is indeed more suitable than Lin Jiu to come forward to contact the royal family. Even if it is because of this
If he offended the evil Sophie, Lin Jiu could not be blamed.
When the time comes, Guren will explore more distant places and not approach the direction where there are traces of Sophie's existence. If Guren does something in the prince incident, he might be able to get something good from the royal family.
At this time, inside the city of King Musser.
Honglian did not contact the royal family immediately, but cautiously stayed in the royal city to gather information. Unlike the small towns and villages where she had settled before, as the capital of a kingdom, the situation in the royal city was much more complicated.
Originally, the continuous growth of demonic energy in the continent of Oz was a major factor that shook the country's stability. In this environment, the chief heir of the Kingdom of Duce has now had a big problem, and it is naturally turbulent at this moment.
The mayor Kate Kane whom Lin Jiu met in the small town of Metz supports the prince. But naturally the king cannot have only one descendant, Prince Loe, as there are many other descendants.
It's just that among these descendants, Prince Loe has the strongest talent and ability, and he is the chief heir. The other descendants can't shake Prince Loe's status at all. But now after Prince Loe's accident, these princes naturally can't sit still.
Of course, those officials and nobles also had other ideas.
While Lin Jiu was active in the town of Metz and entering the Ayala Forest, Hong Lian was lurking in the royal city and gradually found out the details of the Duce Kingdom.
In the early years, due to the development of handicrafts and commerce, the kingdom experienced a period of turmoil. In order to strengthen the royal power, weaken the power of the feudal lords, and suppress the unrest, King Christian III Renault abolished all the powers of the lords by relying on the army and taxes he controlled.
Gradually took control of all the power of the country.
Today, the political system of the Kingdom of Dussel is divided into several parts under the rule of King Reno. The judicial organ, the Star Chamber Court, holds the highest judicial power and belongs directly to the king. The judicial officials in the Star Chamber Court are all King Reno's
Right-hand assistant.
The military forces are headed by General Wally Herbert, and the most elite Royal City Guards also belong directly to the king. Wally Herbert is a general who has made great achievements in suppressing the unrest in the early years, and has great prestige in the military.
Quite high.
There is also a comptroller in the political system who is responsible for managing finances. The comptroller is directly appointed and dismissed by the king. This official position cannot be bought, sold, transferred, or inherited.
The judiciary, military, and finance are necessary functional departments. Honglian also noticed that the Kingdom of Dussel has a Privy Council, which is said to be a supervisory agency. Honglian took a closer look at the role of this council and found that it is a department similar to the Jinyiwei.
.Indeed, it is also a supervisory agency, specially used by the king to supervise officials and nobles.
From Honglian's investigation, it can be seen that these key officials and forces have not taken any action because of Prince Loe's matter. Now it is just the princes and the nobles who support them who are ready to take action.
Gulian knew that King Renault had an absolutely high degree of control over officials in key positions such as the judiciary, the army, and finance. The lack of action by these figures showed that King Renault was still more inclined to save Prince Loe rather than choose another heir. Once these figures
With the tendency, Honglian can consider leaving the royal city.
