Chapter 157 You 20 points, I 60 points, Ainz 100 points
Uh... I thought the Blood Emperor wanted to use his power for something, but he didn't expect that he would actually lead him around the empire's territory to make rain fall!
At first, Yili thought that the Blood Emperor wanted her to blow a snowstorm in the upcoming autumn harvest season with the Theocracy, which she had bad relations with. Unexpectedly, she was just going to provide disaster relief. It turned out that the Blood Emperor was indeed a good emperor.
Again...what a pity.
In the past few days, the Blood Emperor took Yili around the empire's territory. Everywhere he went, he asked Yili to perform a celestial transformation. It was not too troublesome in the first place, and it had already been agreed upon.
It was just a smooth favor.
After all, the empire will be a vassal state of Nazarick in the future. Letting the people of the vassal state suffer is not what Ili wants to see. However, the places she wants to go are places that Iri has never been to before, so she cannot teleport directly.
In addition, the emperor was traveling and the last attack.
So... this time there is a huge traveling team, and I always feel that the Blood Emperor is using him to gain popularity?
Although it was true that after Yili used the Celestial Transformation every time, the object of worship by the common people was her, she vaguely heard some words, basically saying how good the Blood Emperor was.
But it doesn't matter... anyway, the Blood Emperor's people will also be the people of Nazarick from now on, and now it's up to him to make trouble as he pleases. Iri thought about it, so she didn't worry too much.
The only thing that made Yili feel unhappy was that the Blood Emperor refused to let Yili take Xiao Hei and Xiaobai with her. Originally, Yili wanted to get away with it by acting coquettishly.
As a result, the Blood Emperor looked pitiful and explained to Yili that the people around him had never seen much of the world and were afraid that Yili's two pets would frighten them, so he begged Yili to be merciful.
If it's too late, just let him go once!
Today's trip is over, and the entire convoy of Blood Emperor Gilniv is heading towards the capital of the empire.
When he came here, Blood Emperor Gilniv was riding with Princess Elizabeth. When he went back today, Gilniv made an excuse, saying that he had something urgent to discuss with the ministers.
Elizabeth didn't say anything, she just said you were busy with your business! It was no problem for me to be alone, so she and her servant moved to another carriage.
This time Princess Elizabeth came out with only one maid, the one named Yuri. During the previous chat, she pretended to ask casually about the whereabouts of the other maid, saying that the other maid was not in good health.
So I let her stay in the capital. Anyway, it was enough for Yuri to take care of her on the way.
After sending away Princess Elizabeth, there were no so-called ministers on the Blood Emperor's carriage. Only the imperial general Bajed of Lei Guang and his adjutant were there, because the trip did not bring out those ministers, and there were other people there.
things to do.
Bajed and the adjutant in the car didn't say anything, although they really wanted to know why their master was leading the devil's daughter around to build her reputation.
When he was praying for rain in the empire, the emperor didn't eat or sleep well for several days because of this. Why did he suddenly take her around again? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
"Are you curious why I didn't find a way to stop her, but took her everywhere to pray for rain?" Gilniff said.
"Your Majesty must have your reasons for doing this. We don't dare to question your Majesty's decision, we are just concerned about the reasons." the adjutant replied.
"What's the reason? Huh! It's very simple. It's just to restrict her and reduce her influence." Gilniff snorted coldly.
"This is..." The adjutant was confused, and Bajed beside him also looked at Gilniv with an expression asking for an explanation.
Originally... when they prayed for rain in the capital of the empire, almost all the ministers of the empire warned Gilniv not to let the princess mess around again.
Originally, the drought was the empire's fault, but the princess of the enemy country solved it perfectly. If this continues, other countries will not misunderstand that the empire and Nazarick are actually on the same side!
The empire must do something to eliminate the influence of this princess! However, His Majesty Gilniff actually chose the opposite decision to the ministers, saying that it was to restrict her and reduce her influence. This is very incomprehensible.
"Are you as pedantic as those old immortals? Princess Elizabeth prayed for rain in front of so many people! To directly eliminate her influence, does that mean that everyone who was present at that time was killed and silenced?" Jill
Neve asked rhetorically.
"There is no need to go to this extent..." The adjutant was a little timid and his voice became softer.
"Then let me ask you, if it were you, how could you eliminate or reduce Elizabeth's influence without getting involved in blood?" Gilniff didn't blame him, he just put on a very cold face and asked him.
"If it were me, I would probably block the news first... The most direct way is to use money to bribe the people who were there at that time. Giving them a considerable amount of money should make them shut up, right?" the adjutant replied.
"Well...this is indeed a feasible method, but...I can only give you 20 points." Gilniv's expression softened a lot. Seeing that the adjutant he had promoted with his own hands was indeed thinking, how much
I'm still a little relieved, but... I still haven't thought about it properly and thoroughly.
"Twenty points..." The adjutant immediately fainted. A perfect score of 100 points would be quite miserable if he only got 20 points.
"Don't worry, our Majesty's requirements have always been very strict. It's already very good to get the score. So, Your Majesty, can you tell us? The reason for you doing this." Bajed comforted the adjutant, and then looked at
To Gilniv.
"Let's talk about bribery first. I have considered this matter a long time ago, but doing so has no practical effect. Even if those people keep silent about it after receiving the money, Elizabeth's influence will indeed be eliminated.
But the drought affecting the empire has not been eliminated, and your scope of thinking is still too narrow. Remember that you were present when Elizabeth performed super magic in the square, right? Do you think that only the people in the square saw such a large formation?
?" Gilniv said.
"Ah... Indeed." The adjutant recalled the scene when Princess Elizabeth was performing super magic. The dazzling magic circle and the pure white light beam reaching the sky could be seen from a distance.
And after the casting, the dark clouds spread out directly with her as the center point. As long as the people of the empire looked up at the sky at that time, they would clearly know who in the imperial palace had cast what spell to make it rain.
.
"So it's unrealistic to block the mouths of those who see it. If you can't block it, just don't block it." Gilniv continued.
"..." The adjutant stopped talking, but there is no need to help the princess expand his influence if he can't solve it, right?
"Are you thinking that since there is no other way, you don't need to continue to help her expand her influence?" Gilniff asked with a snort.
"That's..." The adjutant really thought so. Since His Majesty pointed it out, he didn't need to deny it.
"So I said that your view of the problem is too narrow-minded. It is true that I am helping her expand her influence by doing this, but didn't you notice? The words of the people who received the favor just now." Gilniff reminded him.
"Uh...ah! So that's it!" The adjutant carefully recalled what the people said when His Majesty was about to leave.
Yes, it is true that when Princess Elizabeth used super magic to pray for rain in front of many people, almost all the people came to worship her.
This can basically confirm from the side that the previous rumors in the capital have spread, which means that before Princess Elizabeth arrived here, the people already knew about Elizabeth's reputation.
However, after praying for rain, the people were indeed thinking of His Majesty Gilniv, because... Princess Elizabeth was brought here by His Majesty Gilniv to help them!
If His Majesty hadn't taken Princess Elizabeth around to solve the drought, then they would have had no choice but to resign themselves to fate. His Majesty's move was indeed clever, and he used Princess Elizabeth to improve his reputation.
"Understood?" Gilniv asked with a half-smile.
"I understand, your Majesty's response method is indeed very powerful." The adjutant said with great admiration.
"Hey, hey! Don't just understand it yourself, I haven't understood it yet!" Bajed looked at the adjutant who suddenly became enlightened and became curious.
"Your Majesty's approach is like this..." The adjutant said what he realized, and Bajed laughed after hearing it.
"As expected of Your Majesty, he used the little sister's help to improve his reputation and also solve the drought that has been plaguing the empire for a long time." Bajed said.
"Sigh... I can only get sixty points with my approach. After all... Princess Elizabeth's influence cannot be eliminated. I have to say that Ainz Ooal Gown's move is indeed too powerful." Gilniv smiled after
He sighed, showing his fatigue.
"Huh? Your Majesty, why does this involve the big devil?" Bajed didn't react at once. Why did this mention the terrifying devil again? No matter how you think about it, this has nothing to do with him, right?
"I think... the drought that the empire suffered was probably caused by Ainz Ooal Gown." Gilniv said.
"Are you saying that Ainz Ooal Gown secretly controlled the climate of the empire a few months ago?" the adjutant asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, I have to say...Ainz Ooal Gown is indeed very powerful. He has arranged everything a few months ago! Let the empire step into the trap step by step! However, we have already seen through the trap and there is nothing we can do.
He can watch the empire step by step in his plan, this damn guy!" Gilniv became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally punched the carriage directly.
"If this was planned months ago, this... is terrible!" The adjutant's expression was not much better than Gilniv's.
"It feels like this is no longer an opponent that we humans can deal with, Your Majesty... Isn't there anything we can do before the empire is completely eaten away by him?" Bajed also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"No, this is the scariest thing about Ainz Ooal Gown!" Gilniv held his forehead with a melancholy look on his face.
