Isabel looked at Aiwass in confusion. Aiwass smiled and explained: "Because Star Antimony is in a strong civil strife at the moment. If there is a problem with Avalon at this time, they will launch an attack on Avalon."
Winning a war is a very good way to alleviate domestic conflicts."
"Why?"
Isabel asked more closely: "Generally speaking, isn't it true that war cannot be launched when there is civil strife? Why can't we just announce that Meg has returned to youth to prevent them from launching a war?"
If she had put it in the past, she would not have known the result and would not have dared to ask again.
But now she is also beginning to try to explore the principles behind it - not relying on the explanations of "teachers" or "staff", but trying to think on her own.
Queen Sofia also looked over with interest. Ligeia sat sideways on the Queen's lap, and put her bold right hand around the Queen's shoulders, and looked back. Her tail behind her was swaying.
He was standing and tapping the stool legs rhythmically.
They were obviously also curious about the answer given by Aiwass. But compared to Isabel's inquiry, it was closer to an assessment and test.
Aiwass understood their intentions, sat up straight and answered seriously: "Because the core problem of Star Antimony is that they expanded too fast.
"The Kingdom of Star Antimony, the Kingdom of Iris, the Principality of Narcissus and the Principality of Black Eagle were split from the Herasl Empire. Even the Knights of the Round Table who founded the Avalon Kingdom were once members of the Herasl Empire... This is the language
Similar reasons.
"But after all, the empire split hundreds of years ago. The fact that they split at that time shows that they had irreparable contradictions. And if they reunite without resolving the contradictions themselves, this kind of rule is not reliable.
"Especially the Narcissus Principality, which is a country of mages... They have just been annexed for less than thirty years, not even a generation has passed. They are the most likely force to threaten Star Antimony, and Star Antimony has coerced the former black
If the Eagle Principality uses sneak attacks and other means to defeat and occupy them, they will definitely be unconvinced."
Even at the end of the Avalon War of Destruction, the Narcissus Principality never sent any troops.
Those colossi and gargoyles are the products of the Star Antimony people, and those elite soldiers are from the Black Eagles - and the Narcissus Territory has fallen into a semi-rebellion state.
On the one hand, it is because the governor of the current generation of the Narcissus Principality is an ambitious man with excellent military and political talents, and the mages also support him; on the other hand, those mages hate war.
"The Star Antimony is too far away from Narcissus, with an entire Black Eagle in between, making it difficult for them to arrive and take control. Recently, the Iris people have supported several rebel and restoration forces in Black Eagle... In Narcissus
In the case of continuous rebellions with Black Hawk, suppressing the rebellion and appeasing them will require a lot of expenditure. The expansion dividend has been used up, and now it is starting to lose money.
"In addition, within Star Antimony, as the Necromancers gradually withdrew from the center of power and went to the Black Eagle Principality and Narcissus Principality in large numbers... the partisan competition between alchemists and demonologists lost their buffer zone and became more intense.
Gradually losing balance. No matter which side the royal family is on, it will lead to dissatisfaction on the other side.
"And economic pressure will lead to a reduction in military spending. Star Antimony chose to pass this part of the expenditure to the Black Hawk Principality to appease the alchemists and demonologists - the professional soldiers born there will be the most affected by the disarmament."
Aiwass explained seriously.
This is also the reason why Star Antimony chose to let the high-end combat power be bulldozed in one wave during the Avalon War of Destruction, instead of relying on elite troops to repeatedly pull it apart as usual.
"Under such circumstances, they urgently need a new war - a hearty victory to alleviate domestic conflicts."
"...But according to what you said," Isabel was a little confused, "Isn't their problem just that they occupy too much land? Then why do they continue to launch wars?"
"Of course they know, that's why there have been these decades of peace. That's why Avalon and Iris can survive... but they can't stop anymore."
Aiwass shook his head and simply replied: "If the Narcissus Principality is willing to surrender, with the help of those smart mages, they may be able to recover... But only the Narcissus Principality was not defeated by them."
Because they won't accept the fight. If they open up the front line and fight slowly, they may not be able to defeat the Narcissus Principality.
"...In other words, although Star Antimony looks very powerful and seems invincible, it is actually very fragile?"
Isabel suddenly realized: "So Miss Ligeia hopes to let the other side attack and fail, so that their internal rebellion will be stronger? They won't be able to care about us by then?"
"Well... almost."
Aiwass smiled helplessly: "If we don't show weakness to the enemy, I'm afraid they will continue to test our bottom line. And this test itself will cause harm to us... It's better to let them fight and then give them
a surprise.
"After all, when they come to fight, they have to cross the sea. This is a natural protection."
Without the rebel trade minister, it would be quite difficult for the Star Antimony people to smuggle army troops over. And in terms of naval strength alone, Avalon is undoubtedly much better than Star Antimony.
——After all, if you put a few griffins on the ship, it will be equal to an aircraft carrier. And on the sea, the threat of storm-type abilities is greater than on land.
Dragon Blood Law is basically invincible in terms of clearing impurities... As long as the energy level is suppressed, there is basically no immunity.
Originally, Meg was very afraid of the aging curse of the Dusk Path, but now she doesn't even have this shortcoming.
It can be said that today's Miss Ligeia can protect a country by herself. As long as she shows her strength, Avalon will basically be safe...at least she can gain the respect of Star Antimony and Iris.
In that case, Aiwass won't be tied up here. He can also go to other places to explore and get equipment, without having to worry about missing home when he returns.
If it is not shown, Iris and Star Antimony will always be suspicious - is Ligeia really as strong as Meg? Isn't she just a pretense?
A good punch will make you honest.
From this perspective...
When Aiwass helped Meg transform into "Ligeia", history had been completely changed.
"You haven't finished speaking yet, have you?"
Ligeia said with a smile, a bad smile on her face: "Why don't you tell them all?
"There's another reason... you want to kill those dishonest guys, right?"
...You old man can actually see it?
Aiwass glanced at Ligeia in surprise, without comment.
And Isabel was shocked: "Ah? Who is Aiwass going to kill?"
"Those rotten knights."
Aiwass said solemnly: "War is a good excuse... to send knights who have never experienced war to the battlefield, to expose their weakness and cowardice, and to let the experienced veterans share their experiences with young people.
; It is also an experience that can give those immature young people a bloody spirit, temper the steel in the fire and remove the rust, and they will be our brand-new pillars. In this way, Ah, who is as decayed as a dead tree
Only then can Wallon be reborn in blood and fire."
"……oh!"
Isabel's eyes lit up.
"To put it simply," Ligeia translated with a smile, "find an excuse to send those disobedient old men and those losers to the battlefield to be killed; give some merits to the young people who are reliable and can be saved, and promote them.
.Use this method to violently shuffle the current Round Table Hall and replace them with people who are willing to obey your orders."
"...It seems to mean the same thing, but this sounds good or bad."
Isabel muttered.
Her Majesty the Queen was very happy.
She clapped her hands repeatedly, with a rare smile on her face.
"Just be a little bit bad, little Isa. You are still young... learn more from Aiwass. See how they do it."
Ligeia huddled in the queen's arms and giggled: "I have time anyway... I will take the time to teach you how to become evil."
"...Is it okay if Aiwass knows it?"
Isabel glanced at Aiwass, still somewhat reluctant: "I just need to be sincerely nice to them."
"It's not impossible."
Aiwass crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.
Isn't it just a white face? He is good at this.
It’s nothing more than the difference between being fired from the company and being fired from the biosphere…
Ligeia smacked her lips.
She could tell that Isabel was worried that she had become bad, had more evil intentions, and that her relationship with her friends—perhaps specifically Aiwass—would deteriorate.
This is not completely impossible. Today's Sofia is completely different from the energetic girl she just met. Their friendship can last until now, which is also the result of constant compromises between both parties.
"In that case, Aiwass."
Queen Sofia invited: "Would you like to try joining the Round Table Hall first?"
"...As a knight?"
Aiwass asked rhetorically.
The implication is whether he must inherit the Moriarty family.
The Moriarty family is very special. It has no branches. If he inherits the Moriarty family, it means that both Edward and Julia will be separated from the family and lose their surnames.
Although he didn't know the attitudes of Julia and Edward, Aiwass was still reluctant to do such a thing.
"If you don't want to, you can do it as a minister."
Sophia chuckled as if she was joking: "What do you think, regardless of the minister?"
Aiwass took a breath.
Isabel's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Even the evil smile on Ligeia's face froze.
"Ministers of the Ministry", although this name sounds very humorous...but it means "no matter", but it actually means "everything". They just don't specialize in a certain part of the affairs, but when necessary, they can follow the Queen's decision
Or interfere with the affairs of any department based on the decisions of the Round Table Hall.
The most important thing is that their status is equivalent to the ministers of various departments. In other words, other ministers cannot have jurisdiction or order him.
This is undoubtedly the "important minister of the country".
It can even be said that he is a close confidant of the Queen and the highest-level envoy of the royal family.
Because there is no real "ministry", the position of this minister can be vacant. Since Queen Sofia succeeded to the throne, even her prince has never held this position.
"...I haven't graduated yet, Your Majesty?"
Even Aiwass hesitated.
It wasn't that he was flattered, nor did he think he was incompetent. He had no doubt that he could do a better job than most of Avalon's ministers.
I was just thinking - if I really succeeded to this position, would it be inconvenient to travel?
The procedure for a minister to leave the Glass Island is definitely different from that for ordinary people. Not to mention going abroad... that can basically be said to be a "mission" specification.
And Queen Sofia easily understood Aiwass's thoughts.
She comforted: "Don't worry, I won't delay you...because you are not a minister. Everything you do can be said to be carrying my special mission, including hiding your identity. And you usually don't do it."
Work... Well, I can transfer 'Miss Aleister' to your command.
"On the Noble Red side, I have decided to send the army to carry out the extermination. I will ask George to return to the army in a while, and the regular army will handle this matter next. You don't have to worry about your safety - in terms of personal safety, Li Ji
Ya can also protect you.
"You should study peacefully this week and prepare for the advancement ceremony with Isabel. There will be no other surprises. I will help you complete other procedures... By the time you start school next semester, you should be a minister.
."
The old queen said, winking mischievously at Aiwass: "How about going to school with the identity of a minister on your back - will it make you feel happy?"
"really."
Aiwass nodded honestly.
I have to say, it's a bit cool.
The update is complete! The long-awaited double update at twelve o’clock!
I slept intermittently for more than ten hours yesterday, and I didn’t go to the hospital because I thought it might lower my immunity. When I woke up today, my rhinitis was still very serious, with more mucus and phlegm... But at least my headache was gone, so I could work.
