Shen Mo knew that Noel was busy with something more important than state affairs, but after entering the residence for foreign guests in Sligo, Wendy not only had a lively chat with the many envoys who stayed here, but also learned from each other during this period.
For this reason, the discussion was completed with the magicians, internal guards, and even a Quiet One who was hired to monitor.
Hearing this, Noel, who was walking in the wind, slowed down.
"Why is she with the messengers?"
Faced with Noel's question, Silence answered truthfully: "This is the usual practice, I can't blame them."
Noel was stunned and covered his forehead helplessly.
He didn't blame anyone, they were indeed right, but through this description, Noel felt that he had sensed the purpose of the legion commander.
When she arrived at the scene, Wendy had just finished a sparring session, and the inner guard she was fighting against lost, not surprisingly.
The messengers in charge of timing looked at each other. Wendy's record was very magnificent. Among the magicians she fought against, there were many seventh-level Silent Ones. However, after the first round of the Demon Suppression Interference Casting, the Silent Ones showed signs of decline. It was difficult to
Parry Wendy's attacks one after another.
Under the influence of demon suppression, no magician can cast spells smoothly. They are like babies abandoned by magic, forced to fight against strong adults.
This is just "mutual learning" to the point, if it really goes to the battlefield...
Even though many people present knew that Wendy came from the alien continent Oroun and was an invader attacking the Dawn Territory, as a diplomat, she set foot on the mainland of Sligo with polite manners, elegant manners, and a moving voice.
People still couldn't help but applaud her.
The applause gradually subsided, and someone finally noticed the extra group of people beside the guardrail on the third floor. For a moment, everyone present greeted them.
Noel and Wendy's eyes met through the gap in their visors. The two looked at each other for several seconds. Wendy imitated Sligo's etiquette and squatted down.
"It was a very good contest, even I felt excited watching it."
The corner of Wendy's mouth raised. She could naturally understand the information beyond the literal meaning, so she answered humbly: "The local magicians of Mela, His Majesty's inner guards and the Silent Ones are equally extraordinary. If it weren't for my guests,
I can't win easily because they keep their hands on me at every turn."
Noel yawned: "I'm a little sleepy after exercising just now... Haha~~ It's a pity that I can't continue to enjoy it. Although Commander Wendy is a visitor from Oron, since there is no hostility, Sligo naturally
Sincerely welcome, I heard that you are still interested in my inventions?"
Noel waved his hand, and the maid Sylvie came to Wendy's side.
"This is my head maid. Just tell her what you want to see and use."
After saying that, Noel turned and left.
Wendy was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, are you just leaving?" On the way back to the palace, Phoebe asked, "Lord Silence, she is spreading the influence of Oroun, trying to plant the powerful root of 'Demon Suppression' in contact with him.
on everyone’s mind.”
Silent, Noel just rubbed his chin.
After a long while, he suddenly said: "Silence, listening to her voice is quite to my liking, but...she is wearing armor, so I can't see the details."
"Your Majesty!" Phoebe tapped the record board in her hand.
"Otherwise, what should I do?" Noel, who had gone to the study room, announced that he had summoned several consuls of the royal capital and spread his hands towards Phoebe.
"At least separate her separately and keep her under strict supervision by the Quiet Ones. She will not be allowed to contact any outsiders so that she cannot have any influence."
After rinsing, Xiao Jiji's face regained its composure. After learning what had happened, she also held the same view as Phoebe. Noel declined to comment.
After several consuls from the royal capital arrived one after another and expressed similar opinions, he pointed to his head and reminded: "Do you think she only started doing this when she arrived in Sligo? In a corner that we can't see.
, I’m afraid she has already explained the concept of demon suppression to a large number of people.”
"If at this time, I ordered her to be kept alone and isolated from the outside world, I guess it would be just what she wanted."
An old consul mused: "Knowledge that is not allowed to circulate is often the best knowledge."
Noel smiled and personally served the old consul Toby the soda given to him by Lu Yu. The old consul who was familiar with his character did not refuse and continued.
"The fact is that the knowledge that can be easily obtained is despised by those who have mastered the knowledge, and those who have mastered the knowledge and resources are trying their best to hide it, must be the most precious, and may even shake the order of the sharp blade, not just wild
Mage, even ordinary people would think this way, this is the shadow left by the tower of the school that has been standing for hundreds of years, and it is still indelible."
"The Commander Wendy, who had just become active, suddenly disappeared from the public eye after coming into contact with His Majesty. This will only make more and more people who have come into contact with her speculate, and in turn confirms that her knowledge is superior... Therefore,
Your Majesty is right to do this."
There was a rustling discussion in the room.
"But..." Xiao Jingjing was confused, "Are we just going to leave it alone? Let her expand her influence as she pleases without any restrictions?"
The old consul Toby sighed and shook his head: "This person knows Meira very well. Everything she has done is exposed under the sun... If you treat her coldly, she will fall into a trap. If you don't deal with it, she can just follow the trend... Not good
It’s really hard to deal with.”
I can see through it, but I can't break it easily.
Silence suddenly spoke: "I just communicated with the two defeated Quiet Ones. It was the first time since becoming the Quiet Ones that they lost so quickly and had no power to fight back. Therefore, they did have the idea that Demon Suppressor might be the nemesis of magic.
…”
"Is the will so weak?" one of the consuls questioned.
"It has nothing to do with personal will, this is an inevitable wavering." Silence explained, "Early warriors had the same sense of confusion and powerlessness when facing increasingly powerful magicians. During the second wave of magic that remained in the world,
The book also records the mental journey of the confused warrior who chose to switch to magic."
"The proud will of the empire is like this. Those ordinary people who witnessed her display of demon-suppressing power were shocked beyond measure..."
The people gathered together to brainstorm ideas were soon filled with worries.
"Otherwise...while she is here alone, frame her up to attack and kill His Majesty. This will break the situation."
"Can't!"
"Why not? Oroun is already invading Mera, and Sligo will become his enemy sooner or later, so why not now?"
"The people still have no psychological expectation of the seriousness of the matter. What they think is that the portal to another continent has opened, trying to seize a remote and desolate land as a foothold. The Dawn Territory is too far away from Sligo. Although the gluttons Because he wrote books and spread knowledge, he got some good reviews, but it was not enough to make the people filled with righteous indignation, not to mention...his image has not been very good for a long time."
Although the consul described his friend in a rather embarrassing way,... what he said was all true. Noel could not find any angle to defend Lu Yu, so he could only sigh.
The fact is, as the consul said, Mela has suffered too many disasters in recent years, and the people of Sligo no longer care much about people outside the country. They just want to be alone and not be involved in the quagmire.
Dawn collar?
Mela?
What does it have to do with them? Didn’t the war not reach Sligo?
Sooner or later, you say? But the war is clearly still far away from Sligo.
If we take action against Wendy at this time, if Oroun's troops come to the city, saying "It was the consuls and the emperor who killed the envoys that caused the war" will be enough to shake the foundation of the entire Sligo's rule and cause a mutiny.
War mobilization is very necessary. Noel believes that even Zenier, who is known for his royal approach, has begun to exaggerate the news that war is approaching.
Phoebe had an idea: "How about we just let her continue the challenge and we can arrange for one person to defeat her?"
As soon as these words came out, the rustling study became quiet.
"This seems like a good idea..."
"But the other party is a legion commander. Wanting to stabilize the other party... is not easy, right?"
Noel has actually thought of this method for a long time, but it is not easy to implement.
The person who defeats Wendy cannot be in a high position or come from the Sligo ruling system. It is best to be an unknown person. Only in this way can the atmosphere exaggerated by the opponent that "suppressing demons is more powerful than traditional magic" be dispelled.
The formation of a concept or a cognition is difficult to eliminate its influence in a short period of time. What's more, Wendy may have sowed the knowledge of demon suppression as seeds along the way. The outcome of the competition may be determined by those who are gradually becoming fanatical. , it is not important at all in the eyes of those who firmly support demon suppression...
The debate about who is better, demon suppression or magic power, is a topic that can last forever...
"Crack!"
Everyone in the discussion turned their attention to Xiao Shengjing who knocked over a tray of tea.
It is very rare for a magical quiet person to make such a small mistake.
Noel was also a little surprised, but when he saw Xiao Jingjing blushing and glaring at him, he immediately understood what happened and shrugged helplessly, saying, can he blame himself for this?
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Noel's mind.
He looked at the broken teacup, the fallen tray, and then at the shameful and angry little silence...
That hazy idea gradually solidified and took shape, turning into a more detailed plan that unfolded in his mind.
Silently watching Noel's ever-expanding smile and his complacent look, he immediately faded into the darkness with peace of mind - every time Noel had this reaction, it meant that he had found a way to solve it.
"Everyone... I think I have a very good way to crack the upright conspiracy of Commander Wendy."
The governors were astonished.
"We made a small mistake, that is, playing against her under the 'rules' she set."
"Change the idea... try the idea I like, for example..." Noel overturned the desk with force and threw it forward, "We can overturn the table and start another game."
