Li Ge did not expect that when he was going to join Yuli, Yuli came to his side first.
The eldest lady and the maid beside her were unscathed, and their clothes were not messed up. They looked calm and composed, as if the attack on Franzel's house was just a game, and the steps towards Li Ge seemed a bit awkward.
Slowly.
"It seems there is no need to worry about you."
Yuli glanced at the masked people lying in a pool of blood or collapsed in the corner, and couldn't help but murmured.
Marilyn also glanced at the Hermit's Sword in Lige's hand, and said nothing. She stood half a step away from Yuli behind her, guarding her master.
"Why did you come here?" Li Ge shook off the blood stained on the sword of the hermit in his hand, and said to Yuli: "It's very dangerous here, you shouldn't come out."
There was a reproach in Li Ge's tone that he was not even aware of.
"It's okay, Marilyn is here." Yuli heard Rige's reproach, and with a slight twitch of the corner of her mouth, she said: "If I don't come out, the tactical-level magic barrier covering Franzel's house will be gone.
People were relieved, and in order to end this farce, I had to come out."
"A farce?" When Li Ge heard this comment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Because no one would think that something would happen to me in the royal capital of Yerufu." Yuli said calmly: "Including the people who planned this attack."
Li Ge whispered: "The Basolo family?"
"That's right." Yuli said sarcastically: "You actually made the attack so obvious. If something happens to me, the Basolo family will be finished."
No one would think that the Basolo family's planning of this attack could be concealed.
Li Ge could immediately think of who was being used and who planned this attack. How could others not think of it?
As Yuli said, the attack was too obvious, and it was just too sudden that it caused uncontrollable chaos. When the matter was over, it would be easy to find out who did it.
Not to mention anything else, every one of the servants who took the money and indirectly helped the Basolo family paralyze the Franzel family's magic protection system can all become witnesses.
Under such circumstances, if something happens to Yuli, the national treasure magician of the Jinas Kingdom, the royal family will definitely be furious, and the Basolo family will also arouse the anger of everyone in the kingdom and be sentenced to death.
Strategic-level magicians are so important. Once a loss occurs, it is equivalent to greatly weakening a country's military capabilities and threat. If the Basolo family dares to do such a thing and does it so obviously, it is equivalent to their own
Seeking death.
And a marquis family, no matter how stupid they are, should not be this stupid.
Therefore, in the eyes of some smart people, this attack is quite intriguing.
Li Ge also reacted and understood what Yuli meant.
"Are you saying that the Basolo family chose to attack here entirely because of another purpose?"
Rieger realized this.
"That's right." Yuri nodded, with a look of disgust on her beautiful face, and said: "The Basolo family probably just wanted to prevent me from leaving the royal capital and returning to Franzel territory, canceling the relationship with them.
This attack was caused by the engagement between the two."
This may sound unreasonable, but Li Ge still understood the basics behind it.
The Basolo family planned this attack not to harm Yuri, but to create the illusion that "Marquis Franzel was attacked."
The important strategic magician of the Kingdom of Jinas was brazenly attacked at the feet of an emperor like Yerov in the royal capital, which is bound to cause a sensation.
But after the commotion passed, the kingdom began to become nervous, fearing that Yuli would be attacked by gangsters again and be harmed.
In this way, as long as the Basolo family interferes and operates a little bit, the royal family and the major nobles in the kingdom will try their best to keep Yuli in the royal capital, protect her nearby, and prevent her from leaving the royal capital.
Adventure outside.
This is the purpose of the Basolo family.
"What's the point of this?" Li Ge said speechlessly: "Even if you are forced to stay here and are not allowed to go back to Franzel to cancel the engagement, can the Basolo family forcefully marry you home?
"
Li Ge really didn't understand the meaning of doing this.
Yuli doesn't want to get married, so what if her father agrees to the engagement?
As long as Yuli doesn't fulfill her engagement, can the Basolo family still pressure her to get married?
Forced marriage to a strategic level magician?
You really think people have no temper, right?
Li Ge, who thought this way, had completely forgotten that this was not a modern world, but a different world similar to medieval Europe.
"Of course they don't dare to marry by force, but once the engagement is confirmed, the eldest lady may really get married."
What Marilyn said suddenly made Li Ge stunned.
This may sound unreasonable, but it is not nonsense and there is no reason.
While nobles in this world enjoy privileges, they also receive the attention of the world. They need to take into account their position and face as nobles in everything they do.
Things like marriage contracts may not be that important among common people and do not require so many formalities, but it is different in the world of aristocrats.
This is like the boudoir in ancient times. Under the orders of parents and matchmakers, marriage contracts are often involuntary.
Although Yuli was not like those purdah ladies who couldn't even say "no" due to her own abilities and special status, she was indeed unable to help herself in certain places.
Otherwise, why would this eldest lady have ridiculed herself as a war tool with no freedom?
Based on her position and her influence on the country, Yuri is often restricted. For example, she cannot use tactical magic and strategic magic at will, she cannot step out of the country at will, and she cannot go wherever she wants. These are all unfree.
reflect.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Basolo family planned this attack. If it really had an impact and caused the royal family and nobles to keep Yuli and prevent her from leaving the royal capital, could it be that Yuli
Can you still ignore the royal order and just leave?
The Franzel family is afraid that they will be accused of disobedience in any minute, and it is not impossible that they will be executed.
Therefore, if Yuli is restricted to the royal capital and is not allowed to leave, then the Basolo family may really be able to fulfill the promise of the marriage contract through negotiations with Yuli's father.
By then, with a little publicity, the general public will think that the two families are about to get married.
By then, Basolo Territory and Franzel Territory will have a lot of cooperation in politics, economy, military and even people's livelihood. Over time, it is entirely possible that the two territories will become inseparable.
If things turn out like this, and if Yuri fails to fulfill her engagement, there may be turmoil between the two territories, which may affect the interests at least, or even affect the lives of the people in the territories.
Once this turmoil becomes too great, it may affect the entire Kingdom of Jinas.
If this happens, even the royal family will order a marriage to avoid chaos and unrest in the country.
In this way, if Yuli no longer wants to get married, she has no choice but to give up her status, her family, and even her motherland and leave this land.
But will the kingdom allow a strategic-level magician to leave casually?
Impossible.
What should we do if this strategic magician becomes a criminal in the future and uses strategic magic that is extremely harmful to the Kingdom of Jinas?
What should we do if this strategic magician is attracted by an enemy country and becomes an enemy, threatening the security of the country?
All kinds of worries will make this country become Yuli's enemy.
At that time, the best outcome for Yuri might be to be secretly eliminated, but the worst outcome was only one - life would be worse than death.
This is what is called affecting the whole body.
For a person like Yuri, even if she does something slightly larger, it may cause others to overreact.
The king could ban his children because of her and give her face, but he might kill her because she doesn't give him face.
The Basolo family was aiming at this point, and they did not hesitate to resort to this trick to force Yuri to stay in order to buy time, giving them enough time to create the established fact.
"Is there such a thing?"
Li Ge has gained knowledge.
It's not that he has never encountered this kind of political and business game, but the national conditions in his previous life are different from the national conditions in this world, and some experiences based on his previous life are not completely applicable in this world.
Therefore, he did not expect such an operation to be possible in this world at first, which really opened his eyes.
But he still had some puzzlements.
"Even if the Basolo family doesn't let anything happen to you, it's a fact that they attacked the Franzel family. Aren't they afraid of being held accountable?"
Li Ge was puzzled by this.
"How to pursue it?" Yuli shook her head and said: "The people who attacked the Franzel family this time were only slaves, and none of them were from the Basolo family. Even these masked killers, I'm afraid they are all
None of them can be identified, confirming that they are killers raised by the Basolo family. The Basolo family can completely claim not to know the existence of these masked men. Even for the slaves, they can explain it by rioting, and there are many ways to get away with it.
"
Slave riots are not unusual in this world.
After all, who wants to be a slave for the rest of their lives?
Once they are treated inhumanely, and once they are unwilling to accept the reality that even their human rights will be deprived, slaves will riot and resist.
As for the slavery contract, it is completely rescindable.
The contract is not absolute. It is just a method used by magicians. It can be cast by magicians and can be canceled by magicians.
The servant contract is okay, because the conditions are equal, the relationship is stable, and it is very difficult to terminate.
But a unilateral mandatory contract like a slavery contract is different.
