The songs and dances of the Lion Country, like the map of the Wolf Country, both represent the top art in this world.
Gorgeous but not vulgar, charming but not seductive, the girls' dance intoxicated people both physically and mentally, but it was a pity that Lu Geang was not in the mood to appreciate it.
He was worried that there was really poison on the map, and he was even more worried that Charlemagne would be poisoned and die at any time. If Charlemagne died on the spot, he would not be able to fly even if he had wings.
Not only is he worried, but the messengers are also worried. They have not spoken so far, and even if they say the wrong thing, they will be in danger of death.
Only Doranor is very calm. He likes the dance of the Lion Country very much, and he also understands the rules behind the dance.
He once followed the envoys of the Golden Eagle Kingdom on a mission to the Kingdom of Lane. In addition to dancing, these girls have other uses.
He called a waiter, took out two gold coins from his arms, and put them into the waiter's hand.
"Friend, I like that girl. I'm a little tired. I wonder if I can find a place where no one is around and let the girl have a drink with me?"
"Of course, distinguished guest!" Dolanor's generosity made the waiter very grateful. This was a gift from the king to the guest. Even if Dolanor did not give him any reward, he would still satisfy Dolanor's request.
After dancing, the girls took a short rest, and Charlemagne stepped forward to toast the guests. Because Doranor was not the guest of honor, no one would notice his presence. The waiter took the opportunity to step forward and bring Dolanor to the table.
Another tent.
"Distinguished guest, please rest for a while. I'll be back soon." The waiter left, but he never came back. The person who replaced him was the girl Doranor fell in love with.
The girl walked into the tent with a shy smile. After looking at each other affectionately, she reached out her hand to Doranor's skirt.
Dolanor grabbed the girl's wrist, shook his head and said: "Don't be so impatient, good girl, I am old and need to make more preparations. Can you chat with me for a while?"
"Of course, my lord." The girl poured Dolanor a glass of wine, took a sip, and fed it into Dolanor's mouth.
Dolanor exclaimed in admiration: "This sweetness is unforgettable."
The girl doubted the authenticity of what she said. Although she said it very nicely, Dolanor's face was always stiff, and there was no sign of any pleasure or enjoyment, and even the sincerity of being playful was not enough.
The old wizard had been upgraded, but his facial expressions had not evolved much. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Duo Lao Nuoer took out a few gold coins from his arms and stuffed them into the girl's hand.
"Take it, this is yours."
"I, I, I can't want it. If His Majesty finds out, he will kill me..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't know," Doranor said with a smile, "This is a gift from me to you. You deserve it, a flowery girl."
…
Things went more smoothly than expected. Lugeon, who had eaten and drank enough, said goodbye to Charlemagne, and Charlemagne agreed.
Chief Bachelor Conrad had some objections to this: "Your Majesty, since they are from the Benlang Kingdom, they should ask someone to escort them out of our land. The Benlang Kingdom people are good at drawing maps. We cannot let these people wander in our land."
.”
Charlemagne shook his head and said with a smile: "Old bachelor, don't worry, we and the Wolf Kingdom will become friendly countries, and there should be more understanding and trust between friendly countries."
The five people rode a carriage far to the west, but since no one was following them, Doranor led them to reopen a new road and return to Broken Snow City.
Reggie fulfilled his promise and released Lugeon's men, but they had to wait until the war was over before they could leave.
The next step is to prepare for the war. Noros has repaired the airship, Calaf has rechecked all the bombs and rockets, and Reggie is always paying attention to the changes in the weather. It has been quite sunny these days. If Charlemagne refuses to
To send troops, Reggie was also ready to take the initiative.
Five days later, Abu sensed changes in the totem.
"He is moving, my lord, very quickly."
…
Charlemagne sent out troops, and just as Reggie had imagined, he brought the map with him.
For a commander, an exquisite map has a special magic that makes people unable to put it down. Charlemagne took the map all the way to the border, but Conrad asked Charlemagne to suspend his march. The cunning chief maester noticed what was going on.
abnormal.
"Your Majesty, this thing is a little weird. We'd better make some preparations before launching an attack."
Charlemagne hated courtiers who pretended to be smart, especially those who seemed smarter than him. He originally wanted Conrad to stay in the royal capital, but this troublesome old guy insisted on coming, which hindered him.
As the most senior minister, Charlemagne, who was not yet firmly established, could only endure and occasionally listen to his nagging.
"Tell me, Chief Maester, what is it that makes you feel weird?"
Since he dared to speak, Conrad was naturally fully prepared: "Your Majesty, Lugeang is from the Wolf Country. Everyone knows that they are good at drawing maps. If Reggie Victor intends to fall out with the Wolf Country, how can it be possible?
Let them leave alive?"
Charlemagne said with a smile: "Are you scared out of your wits by Reggie Victor? The Victor family, which has lived in Broken Snow City for generations, has never had any contact with the Wolf Country. Are you sure that stupid Reggie Victor will understand?
Is this common sense?"
"He may not understand, but the rebel Chris must know the roots of the Wolf Kingdom," Conrad said of Chris, "He will tell Reggie Victor what to do."
Charlemagne didn't like hearing Chris's name, let alone any praise for Chris. There was no praise in Conrad's words, but this still made Charlemagne very disgusted.
"Well, the smart Kesley told the stupid Reggie that he wanted to kill the envoy of the Benlang Kingdom, but he didn't kill him. What's the harm to us?"
Conrad sighed secretly. No wonder Charlemagne has never achieved any decent achievements. He is very smart, but he lacks the ability to guard against traps.
"Your Majesty, what I am worried about is the identity of these envoys. We have not received any news of these people leaving the country. We don't know how they returned to the Benlang Kingdom. I even suspect that they are not envoys at all, but Reggie Wei."
Spies sent by Kurt, they stole the messenger's documents and seals, and then tampered with this map."
As soon as he finished speaking, Spindu and Andrew next to him all burst out laughing.
Spindo burst into tears with laughter: "Master Bachelor, are you telling a story? How come there is witchcraft on the map?"
Charlemagne didn't know whether to laugh or not. He wanted to leave the last bit of dignity to Conrad: "Old bachelor, war is a matter for young people. You'd better go back to the camp and rest."
"Your Majesty, you may not want to believe it, but I have found solid evidence!" Conrad asked someone to bring a girl with him. A huge hood covered the girl's face. This kind of attire made Charlemagne very disgusted.
"Who is this?" Charlemagne asked, "The New Year has passed a long time ago. Did you bring the priest again?"
The people around burst into laughter, and Conrad struggled to explain: "Your Majesty, she is not a priest, she is a punisher."
Everyone's laughter stopped suddenly. Conrad dared to bring the Punisher in front of Charlemagne. Everyone knew Charlemagne's disgust for the Punisher. Charlemagne's cheeks were twitching, and everyone looked nervously.
Looking at Conrad, it seemed that the old bachelor's life was coming to an end.
But Conrad was still struggling to explain: "Your Majesty, she is different from those stupid punishers. She is a messenger of the gods, a pure messenger. She is extremely loyal to you and will never do anything to disobey you.
She can distinguish all kinds of witchcraft, and any witchcraft is invisible to her!"
Charlemagne squinted at the girl and whispered: "Let me see what you look like."
The girl took off her hood, looked up at Charlemagne, and said: "My name is Alice Windsor. I am your most loyal subject. I have unstoppable admiration for you. I can distinguish all witchcraft in the world."
, Please believe me, Your Majesty, this map has been cursed by a dirty wizard, and he can determine your whereabouts through this map."
…
In the wooden house at the southern end of Camel Island, Bachelo was having lunch with the Hades Wizard Sagatonandita. Every minute and second he spent with the Hades Wizard was an incomparable happiness and honor for Bachelo.
.
"Old man, don't always come to me. Don't forget to take care of the government affairs of Tuodao City. I don't want it to fall into the hands of others again."
Batchelor smiled humbly and said: "The government affairs of Tuodao are in good order. Yang Qiu and I get along very well. Please don't worry."
Saga said: "Don't forget that you are Reggie's subject. You must remain loyal to him. He is a rare lord. His tolerance is the luck of the wizards."
These words sounded like he was praising Reggie, but no one could figure out what the Hades Wizard was thinking. Batchelor chose a clever way to answer: "I am the loyal minister of the lord, and even more so, your loyal servant."
"Don't you think it's too childish to say loyalty to two people at the same time?" Saga sneered, stood up and asked, "How is your daughter?"
Batchelor was shocked, he didn't expect the Hades wizard to know about his daughter.
"My daughter has left me," Batchelor did not dare to lie to the Hades Wizard. "She went to the Lion City to find a life that belongs to her."
"How could you let her leave your side? Don't you realize her talent?"
"Her... talent?" Batchelor didn't understand what Saga meant.
"You dim-sighted Bachelot, you put all your energy into books, but you can't see the Moonlight Wizard beside you."
"Wizard of Moonlight?" Batchelor looked at Saga in shock.
"Two Yuehua wizards once appeared beside you," Saga said slowly, looking in the direction of the mainland, "The Discriminator and the Guider, they have both awakened."
