After the heavy rain all night, the bright sun quickly dispersed the clouds, bringing light and warmth to Santa Cassia.
This change in the weather seems to be echoing the change in the situation in Tessel.
After the devil's catastrophe, the wolf's disaster, and many civil wars, this ancient kingdom is finally coming out of the shadows.
The dawn of the devil's calamity has begun to appear.
The situation of the wolf disaster has also been reversed.
With the talents of the fifth prince, the civil war has completely stopped.
Due to various influences, at the moment when the enthronement ceremony is about to take place, Saint Cassia seems to have regained her vitality.
Nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world are gathering here. The city is full of joy and laughter, and places like pubs and clubs are open all night long.
Of course, there are also city guards who maintain order!
They are all the direct troops of the fifth prince. They are not only maintaining order, but also monitoring the royal capital. After all, there are too many forces coming in at this time.
The good thing is...
"The seven earls have officially set off, and the accompanying troops are all within specifications. Judging from my contact with them, they will not deliberately cause chaos."
Kingdom Cabinet.
The fifth prince, who is the temporary regent, is having a temporary meeting with six ministers.
The fifth prince has been agreed to be regent and preparations for the enthronement ceremony are underway. Whether they support the fifth prince or do not want to see the kingdom continue to be in civil strife, the six ministers are all supporters of the fifth prince at this moment.
The Minister of Military Affairs is responsible for contacting the great nobles of the kingdom, and naturally, there is also surveillance.
Judging from the information he had, the seven great nobles of the fiefdom had all acknowledged, or at least tacitly acknowledged, the legitimacy of the enthronement ceremony.
Otherwise, they will not compress the accompanying power within the specifications.
And if they have no problem, then there are only two problems left.
Another minister with white hair and sharp eyes: "Lord Ron will not leave Melamat for the time being. His ultimate allegiance is to the kingdom after all!"
One of the two walls of the kingdom, Rock Warrior Ron!
If he continues to stay in Melamat, the third prince who has been placed under house arrest will naturally not be a problem.
Minister Noah also smiled slightly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess should be back soon. She recruited a team of elite warriors from the War Church and gained their allegiance. She has completely suppressed the wolf disaster. There are rumors that she has
The 'Crimson Wings' are close to the level of a sacred weapon and are one of the most important inherited treasures of the Church of War."
Ninth Princess Ingrid!
There is no one here who is not an old fox. How could they not understand what Minister Noah meant?
He gained the allegiance of the strong men of the Church of War, and even obtained the "Crimson Wings"!
This obviously means that the Ninth Princess has received the support of the War Church!
However... the most orthodox belief in Tessel is the Church of the Three Gods!
God of punishment, God of bravery, God of suffering!
Since the Ninth Princess has the support of the War Church, then...
A man with a hooked nose and thin cheeks raised his eyes to the fifth prince: "We have not had in-depth exchanges with the Red Shield Kingdom for some years. Perhaps we can ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to go there as an envoy of friendship between the two countries.
I believe the church also supports it.”
Of course the Three Gods Church should support it!
Will they still allow the Church of War to intervene?
The Ninth Princess went out of her way, or maybe she took the initiative to give up the fight with the Fifth Prince.
Red Shield Kingdom, the core belief area of the War Church!
Saroyan frowned slightly and pondered, but still shook his head: "There is no need to rush. Let's wait until the jackal disaster is completely over before we see it. Jiu Mei has always understood the general situation and will not do anything inappropriate."
He is still very tolerant towards his brothers and sisters, at least he seems to be very tolerant.
No, even though he captured the Third Prince Brother, he was only under house arrest. He is not as powerful as the Third Prince Brother.
Minister Noah continued to smile and nodded: "His Highness said so, then let's wait a little longer. Let's also see what the church's attitude is."
"..."
What other ministers could say, they could only say in their hearts, this guy is really smiling.
Ask about the attitude of the Three Gods Church...
Could these churches still say that they welcome war churches to come in?
…
The cabinet meeting is ongoing at the same time.
Isaac also arrived at the royal capital.
"The capital of the kingdom is indeed a bit extraordinary!"
Instead of walking through the city gate, he flew high in the sky using transformation and advanced invisibility.
His eyes were observing the city with great interest, from the city walls to the interior.
The continuous effect of True Seeing Technique, this is the largest human city he has ever seen, from the majestic city wall on the outermost periphery to the palace at the core, the magical auras layer after layer are obscure, but they cannot be hidden.
his eyes.
There are three more magnificent churches, which are also extremely conspicuous in the field of vision.
It can only be said that it is indeed the capital of the kingdom. Although it is no longer in its heyday, Tethyr still has its heritage.
With True Seeing, he can see which magic restrictions are active and which ones are dormant.
On the bank of a river, he fell silently without disturbing anyone.
Not long after, another carriage passed by.
The emblem on the carriage.
There was no wind, and the car curtain opened automatically.
The driver seemed completely unaware and just drove the carriage as usual, finally stopping outside a dock warehouse.
The car curtain moved again.
After a while, two more people came out of the pier, greeted the coachman, and entered the carriage directly.
The carriage left immediately.
Throughout the entire process, there were no abnormalities.
In this regard, his loyal servants are far inferior to these human races.
Watching the carriage go away, still invisible, Isaac glanced around and found nothing out of the ordinary, then walked into the warehouse area.
What Miranda arranged for him was another storage warehouse.
Only these large spaces can allow him to easily accommodate his transformation.
As a big boss in the Taser smuggling industry, Miranda naturally lacks these the most.
In a secret warehouse, after sensing the situation inside, Isaac opened the door directly and released the advanced invisibility technique at the same time.
In the warehouse, Mrs. Miranda was already waiting, along with a group of short figures in black robes.
As soon as she saw him coming in, Miranda knelt down on one knee, and all the figures in black robes bowed down.
"I have met His Majesty!" "Great master!"
The figure in black robe, with all its head exposed, is the elite team led by the second loyal servant.
After waving them to get up, Isaac looked at Miranda: "How are the arrangements going?"
"Lord Kuli has already explored all the relevant routes in the sewer, and there are basically no problems. You can find various strongholds from here at any time.
There are two taverns arranged, both of which are our own strongholds.
There is also an observation point prepared outside Central Avenue, you can go there at any time..."
Miranda talked one by one, and marked each place carefully on the map.
She always handles things carefully, and at least it seems that there are basically no problems.
Isaac took the map she presented, nodded slightly, and said in approval: "Well done, but there is no need to be too cautious. We have no plan to intervene directly this time. We only observe and watch the show. There is no need to keep an eye on it for the time being.
Now that we are looking at those ministers, we will turn our sights outside to see when the big nobles will arrive, especially the Ninth Princess."
Aren't you going to intervene directly?
Miranda couldn't help but feel something in her heart. She could guess that the Ninth Princess should have some secret agreement with them. She was also happy to see it come to fruition. After all, little Gray Hart was also there.
But now...just watching the show?
Going to the theater?
He was thinking about something in his mind, but his face remained completely motionless. He just nodded quickly: "I understand. Before they arrive, detailed information will be sent to you."
After Isaac told her some more things.
Instead of taking the main road outside, she went through a secret passage inside the warehouse. Several loyal servants escorted her through the sewers and left directly.
She has been camping in the royal capital for quite some time, and has already made proper preparations for the secret passages and safe houses that should be there.
“There are still too few people available!”
Later, Isaac's eyes flickered slightly again.
Mrs. Miranda is indeed useful, and he has full trust in her. After all, she is the only one who can be used in underground organizations.
His loyal servants are powerful enough, but their brains are always useless, coupled with the differences in race...
As for the consortium... he was not prepared to expose Mrs. Miranda to them.
So for the time being, we can only rely on Mrs. Miranda for everything here.
However, it is important to prepare for a rainy day and start preparing long-term plans.
It's not that he doesn't trust Miranda. As a lawful dragon, he also hopes to be able to do it from beginning to end.
However, even if he can go from beginning to end, he still has to prepare in advance for "after the end"!
The lifespan of human beings is so short, and Miranda is not a professional.
So, is it Grayhart? Or...
Perhaps you can also consider directly transforming the structure and system of the organization!
The thought flashed in his mind for a few times, but it was still not settled. He suppressed it again. He looked at the loyal servants with enthusiastic faces, and he showed some approval: "Miranda said in the letter, in the organization
In the process of entering the Principality of Karinsey, your performance was close to perfect. Ku Li, you really did not disappoint me. Kuz is only suitable for being in the palm of your hand, and I still have to rely on you outside."
With a word of appreciation, the second loyal servant's chin almost broke out in laughter. He quickly raised it and replied humbly: "Great master, all depends on the powerful power you have given us. It is only because of you that we are not afraid of fear."
die."
"There is no need to be modest. If you have merit, you have merit, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded. I have asked people to arrange new equipment. When it is ready, I will inform you to change the equipment in batches." Isaac waved his hand.
The drow are already at work.
"yes!"
Including the second loyal servant, all the kobolds were happy.
They would not pretend to reject anything from their great master.
…
Isaac heard a rumor.
It is said that the people who best embody the essence of human civilization are not the nobles or the scholars. The tavern is actually ranked before them!
Like his natural green, the earliest shop was used to open a tavern.
This small watch city has more than one tavern.
Dugas and Dubizlant, which are currently under development, and taverns have also appeared!
It is said that you can see all kinds of people in the tavern.
From ordinary people to professionals.
From adventurer to businessman.
Nobles also come to experience alternative culture from time to time.
The little ones who are just starting out are yearning for this place even more.
Experienced fritters also hang out here.
This is also the entrance to the dark world!
At least, this is how this rumor is recorded in the biographies of heroes.
Based on this rumor, before the forces worthy of attention arrived, Isaac also penetrated deeply into the human world for the first time.
Of course, no matter how deep he goes, he won't just go to those places where he doesn't know the roots.
At nightfall.
"Red Beard" Tavern is an old tavern that has been around for some time.
On the surface, this is a tavern opened by an adventurer after he retired, and this adventurer is also a believer in the Church of the Brave God.
However, as the adventurer really grew old and made some operations, the tavern gradually fell into the hands of the organization, and a lot of information about the royal capital came from here.
The sky has not yet completely darkened, and with the recent excitement in Santa Cassia, the atmosphere in the tavern is already rapidly heating up.
A creaking sound.
Isaac pushed open the wooden door of the tavern, which had a sense of age but did not look old.
Faced with all kinds of noise.
Those who fight for wine, those who fight with each other, those who play with beautiful women...
But there are also some who are out of place, most of them are sitting on the edge, most of their faces are covered by hoods...
He glanced inside, and without rushing to look further, he walked to the bar first.
In order to better adapt to his human identity, this time he did not change into a mage, and even the powerful staff was kept with his loyal servant.
Like a swordsman, he wears a fine leather armor, but he has obviously experienced many battles and has many repair patches.
Behind his back is a long-handled sword. Although the sword is in a sheath, it has a slightly unusual look.
“Old location upstairs.”
With a snap of his fingers, a gold coin landed on the bar counter.
"okay!"
The boss was a man with a black beard. He took the gold coin with a smile, looked at the front side, and then the back side. The smile on his face was still there, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the opposite side.
Positive and negative are the same, we are our own people!
However, it turned out to be a strange face!
Look at this leather armor and the sword on the back. Are you new to the royal capital?
But he didn't say much or ask too much. Even if it was one of his own, as long as he didn't take the initiative to ask or give more passwords, he would only arrange to go to the corresponding room, and the rest would be business as usual.
After putting the special gold coin into a secret drawer, Blackbeard waved to a waiter: "Bessie, take the guest to room seven."
A waitress came over quickly and led Isaac to the second floor.
The private room in the tavern is not big, but from the position next to the window, from the angle of Room 7, you can not only see most of the first floor, but if you open the wooden window on the other side, you can even see the street outside the tavern.
Can be caught in the eye.
According to human habits, after asking the waitress to recommend two glasses of wine, Isaac asked her to step back, and then looked down casually, without leaving any trace.
Hearing is also turned on.
The noisy and chaotic sounds were quickly separated in his ears.
"Wow, the royal capital is the royal capital, even a tavern like this can be so lively."
"Madam boss, my blood is boiling and I can do something big at any time. You can do whatever you want with me."
"You two, stop talking nonsense. Can a pub be opened casually? Have you figured out the local snakes? Do you know how much the rent is? Do you have a channel for drinks? Stop talking about this nonsense and follow the elder sister.
Let’s go and listen to the elder sister’s instructions.”
A voice from a corner, mixed in the noise, was decomposed in Isaac's ears.
In the tavern, discussing opening a tavern?
But it sounds like he came from out of town.
Isaac glanced at the general direction and quickly located his location.
In a corner, two men and two women sat opposite each other.
From his angle, he saw the side view over there.
Looking from the side, the two men and the woman outside should be very young, exuding youthful vitality.
The woman inside has red hair, exudes a mature style, and looks very fiery.
