He tore open the sealed letter and discovered that it was actually the highest-grade contract seal. There was also a magic seal engraved with beeswax on the gray envelope. If someone other than the recipient opened the letter, the letter paper would either be destroyed or explode.
.
"Yi Wenli? I haven't heard of it. Well, you haven't told us either."
Although Xiaohong couldn't help but shake her head, there was a smile in her eyes. Although dragons generally disdain lying, according to my understanding of her, this expression should be that she is waiting to watch the fun, and there is no point in asking.
Then I did not hesitate to tear the letter slightly open, put it on the table nearby, then stood near the door, and opened it remotely with the hand of ice... I am really smart. If the bomb disposal experts in that world had the
My hand will not be affected by the bomb and sacrificed.
"Pfft, hahahaha!"
I directly ignored the female dragon who was watching the fun behind her and laughing. For some reason, when I saw Yi Wenli, a name with an Elvish pronunciation, my scalp was numb, as if my instinct told me that it was a trouble.
, it is better to be cautious.
In order to avoid being caught, I carefully hid behind the door, and the arms made of ice in the room dissipated when the letter was opened, and then...
"Are you kidding me? Nothing happened!"
There was neither a sudden flash of white light, nor a sudden howl of a banshee ghost, nor an explosion, not even flying green or white powder. It must have at least contained a death curse. This threatening letter did not even have a trap.
, simply too unprofessional.
"Hahaha! You're laughing so hard. What are you doing? Using your face to explore the grass? Using your feet to step on traps?"
Okay. Let's continue to ignore the laughing female dragon rolling on the ground behind us. Pick up the letter. It's just a few simple words.
"Ancient Elvish? There are still people using this in this era. Let me think about how to pronounce it."
The letter was written in twisted tadpole script. It would be normal if it were dragon language or human lingua franca, but what does it mean to use this language that only existed in the ancient elven empire? Could it be that Yi Wenli majored in archeology.
The handwriting on it is very beautiful and delicate, obviously written by a woman. But the content on it is so confusing that it is difficult to understand.
"...You still dare to come back?"
I read this sentence in a low voice. The grammar is correct, but why didn’t I understand it? Is this a complaint?
As soon as he finished speaking, the letter suddenly lit up with white light, and then...
"Damn it! It's actually a activation word!"
"Boom!"
Sure enough, the letter paper exploded. The explosion was not very powerful, but it emitted strange smoke. After the smoke dissipated, I was already covered in a bunch of blue paint.
"Ahem, you actually deliberately used convoluted ancient elven language to trick me into reading out key words. How wicked! Ahem, cough, cough."
I don't know what the trap is made of. Even the dust it coughs up is blue. The only good thing is that I can feel that it is not a poisonous trap.
"Hahaha! Sure enough!"
The female dragon behind was already rolling on the ground laughing, as if she had expected it.
What followed was a sudden flash of light in the sky outside. It seemed that as the letter was opened, something left inexplicably. The designer of the mechanism already knew that the letter had been activated.
At the same time that I turned into a Smurf, a small pendant fell to the ground. The heart-shaped sapphire on it was emitting a cool brilliance, just like moonlight.
Seeing this posture, I probably knew that this was just the beginning, and trouble was probably waiting behind me.
"With such a highly targeted arrangement, no one can believe it even if they are not acquaintances..."
----------
Even though I still didn't recall who it was, I became even more worried. This arrangement was obviously for me. It was obviously someone I knew well, but I didn't remember it at all.
It doesn't matter that I have no memory at all. After several reincarnations, I have forgotten different things, but there is no record in my diary library, which is very abnormal.
After thinking about it, there are only two possibilities. Either I had not started recording the diary at that time... This can basically be rejected, or those past events are memories that I hope to forget, so I deliberately did not record them.
Hope to be completely forgotten in some reincarnation.
"Well, if I can't remember it, I won't. Since it's something I decided to forget, it's obviously better not to recall it."
I suddenly put this little episode behind me, but it turned out that Xiao Hong, who was planning to watch my excitement, was a little unhappy.
"You live a very free and easy life, and you don't think about it when you can't remember it? This attitude towards life is really enviable. You don't have to worry about what troubles will be waiting for you if you can't remember it."
"...There's nothing I can do if I can't remember it. Besides, if that person comes to cause trouble, even if I remember it, it won't cause trouble. It's just more worries. Since they are enemies, the soldiers will come to block the water when the time comes.
Just come to Tumo. Aren't you just an 'old acquaintance'? If the old acquaintances who want my head want to line up, they can line up from here to the west coast. Who am I afraid of?"
Even so, I secretly strengthened the security of the surrounding rooms. Of course, it was not entirely used to guard against unknown threats.
When a new day came, I felt a little relieved. Although the dragon knights showed great respect to Lilith, and the knights were mostly die-hards who were hard-working, but in an enemy situation, many things still had to be done.
Being careful and taking precautions is also essential.
And through the exchanges with each other, I did get the most lacking information about the Bayer Empire. The news from the local lords was too lagging behind, and it was not as good as the dragon knights who could receive news from the capital every day.
Oros, the tycoon of the generation, is still alive, and the Bayer Empire is still under the control of Oros today. However, things are calm on the surface, and there are constant undercurrents in private. As the old emperor ages, the situation in Bayer becomes more and more complicated.
.
Of course, the emperor is still supreme in name, but I am afraid that everyone is looking forward to his death, especially the dozen or so righteous princes. Although they all seem to be innocent, in fact, they have a lot of power under them. They are just waiting for the old emperor to inherit the throne after his death.
Of course, there is no one who dares to interfere with the military forces now. Well, there is no one on the surface, but the family where the prince's wife comes from seems to be developing in that direction.
Not to mention local lords, the conflict between centralized power and local lords can never be resolved, and it is a custom that the eldest son of each lord must grow up in the capital. Although it is indeed a very effective method of hostage control, it also
deepened the gap between the two.
This rule has been implemented for twenty years. The first batch of eldest sons of lords have grown up, but very few have returned to the territory to inherit the position of lord. This is not because the king does not want to let people go, but because many lords choose to do so from the beginning.
He lost his second son who was not in the capital.
Don’t have a second son? Just give birth to another. And when the second son becomes a lord, he will not be very friendly to his elder brother who has the legal right of inheritance. There have not been many cases of welcoming the return of the orthodox heir.
The consistent high pressure of the royal family has caused a lot of resentment. Now that the resentment has accumulated, sooner or later there will be a rebound.
I'm afraid that after the emperor's death, no matter who will be in charge, there will be no absolute authority to suppress the lords' group rebound. It can be said that due to the strong centralization of power, the local lords have been doing things with their tail between their legs in the past twenty years.
I hope that this mountain that is weighing me down will collapse as soon as possible so that I can rise again.
From this alliance with the undead, it can be seen that the internal contradictions in the Bayer Empire are really not small. Although the emperor used his authority to suppress the objections of most nobles, since no consensus has been reached, internal differences have already emerged.
.
The most intense one, apart from the factions of the True God Church that broke off directly, is probably the Royal Mage line.
From the day the news was announced, the chief court mage, Winster, directly called in sick and asked for leave, and the court mages also began to retreat to study magic. What was a little more relaxed was probably the collective departure of the Dragon Knight Grand Duke and the Dragon Knights.
Helent's group of dragon knights expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor in their own way, but further west on the border, the group of dragon knights who were still loyal to the emperor were about to go to the battlefield and launch a retaliatory attack against the Kingdom of Mage.
The identities of dragonborn knights are very special. First of all, many of them are half-dragons, with both dragon and human identities. However, having grown up in the human empire most of the time, they still tended to be human in their "young years".
In terms of their own status, as knights, since the monarch has issued a mobilization for war, it is reasonable for them to participate in the war.
But if possible, I don't expect to see a war between the superpowers, especially since the country of mages is closely related to me.
Combined with the weird system mission that asked me to choose between improving the reputation of the Mage Country or the Bayer Empire, I am afraid that when the shadow of war between the two countries is destined to be inevitable, I will have to choose a side.
I'm not close enough to make a guess. When I go to the Cloud Tower to take on the so-called main mission, I'll probably choose a side and join in this war.
"If possible, I really don't want the Dragon Knights to participate in the war. Let the war escalate now. The undead invasion has already happened. The longer it is delayed and the more prepared we are, the greater our chances of winning. The high-end combat power of the two countries is so
If you invest in it, you will probably end up benefiting from the undead that will arrive sooner or later."
What I am thinking about is not just these. It would be a pity to give up the Bayer Empire to the undead emperors. Since the domestic situation in Bayer is unstable, if it drags on, the situation may change, such as
It is said that the old emperor suddenly passed away, and it is very likely that the new king will fall out with the undead.
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the side plot: preventing the Dragon Knight Legion from entering this meaningless war.]
[Task requirement: Try to delay the time when the Dragon Knight Legion enters the war. If it is extended for more than three months, this task will be completed. 】
[Task reward: clues about the former Dragon Queen Moriel. Punishment for mission failure: Xiao Hong’s anger. System prompt: You can just continue to do side quests without doing your job. Want points? No way! 】
It seems that these small side plots can be triggered as long as they are within the scope of the main plot of the war between the two countries. Although there are no points, but according to convention, if you want to complete the big main plot, none of these small details can be left behind, and the accumulation is small.
Winning a big victory is the safest strategy.
It is worth mentioning that although when we warned the countries that the undead were about to invade, we received a lot of blank looks, when the undead really came, although the countries were still pretending to be deaf and dumb on the surface, we also received a lot of private responses.
Contact us and hope to get relevant information and help.
Of course, I am speaking seriously. Several undead invasion points in history have also been pointed out. As for whether there will be any changes in the future, that is none of my business.
"Historically" the Bayer Empire was the largest invasion point. After the undead invasion took place, the super empire Bayer suddenly perished in just three months. This is undoubtedly an incredible thing, but considering the intelligence collected now
After sorting it out, there was no lack of internal and external troubles at all, and I suddenly felt that it was amazing to be able to last three months.
History does not record in detail what happened to the Dragon Knights, but it records that a large number of bone dragons appeared after the invasion of the Bayer Empire... If the current situation is deduced, even if the Dragon Knights did not fall,
On the battlefield of the Kingdom of Mages, they will not be able to survive the undead invasion, and it is completely foreseeable that they will all fall in the end.
But at this time, it is not easy to stop the dragon knight. After all, we are foreigners, and we are even vaguely hostile. Even if Lilith comes to dissuade her, it is completely unknown how effective it will be. As a knight, when the country is facing war
At that time, as long as Emperor Oros issued an order for conquest, Helent and others had no reason to refuse if they did not want to commit treason.
"...Especially since they are still driven by the righteousness of counterattack and revenge, they cannot be stopped unless we can prove that the emperor is crazy or has committed some crime that seriously violates their concept of chivalry."
But when I thought about this, I laughed. The crime had already been committed.
"Tears of Cazorla, what good evidence. It seems that I went to talk to Helent. By the way, the reason why the Dragon Knight participated in the war was to avenge the forbidden curse. I feel that it is not the country of mages.
The style, let’s check it out first.” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
