The gray fog in front of his eyes gradually dissipated, and the crimson light also converged into his body. Rolls, who was lying on the small sofa in the room, frowned. He slowly sat up straight, put on his slippers, walked slowly to the side of the desk and sat down.
.
The Tarot just now made him realize a problem. Klein did not trust him very much. To be more precise, he did not trust him when it came to destroying the ceremony of George III becoming a god.
Last week, the other party had already obtained the specific locations of the nine tombs of George III through "channeling" Catalina. If the other party trusts me, he should inform himself of this information during this Tarot meeting.
But after the little "Sun" recounted the experience of exploring the "Court of Giants" and everyone expressed shock at the being who participated in the "Redemption Rose", neither "The Fool" nor "The World" revealed the tomb of George III.
Meaning. Realizing that problems might arise, Rawls tentatively communicated privately with "the world".
He came up with the policy of "war cabinet", believing that the preparations for George III's godhood ceremony may have been completed, but he was just waiting for a key point, otherwise he would not even agree with this policy that would weaken the royal family's power in wartime. Change.
In a word, the ceremony for the "Black Emperor" to become a god will begin at any time, allowing Klein to quickly investigate and share clues.
But Klein still said that he was still investigating, and explained that it might be because the ceremony was almost ready, so it was difficult to find new clues now, but he already had some ideas waiting to be verified and would need to wait for a while.
As soon as these words came out, Rawls understood that Klein was already wary of him, or in other words, of the "son of chaos" behind him.
Based on his understanding of Klein's character, even if he would tell him the location of the mausoleum and the way to enter the mausoleum, he would definitely tell him before he started his actions to avoid the influence of the "Sons of Chaos" on George III, but there was a high probability that he would not let him know.
Join yourself.
This gave Rawls a headache. He could get the location of George III's mausoleum from the "Red Angel" evil spirit, but he had no way of entering the mausoleum. Except for Mr. "Gate", the only one who knew this method was
Triss, Klein, Bernadette, and when Bernadette can master this method depends on when Klein will notify her, and it is not even ruled out that he will tell her before entering.
Even if Bernadette knew it very early, she might not be determined to tell Rawls the method.
So just to be on the safe side? Looking for Triss? Rawls tapped his right fingers rhythmically on the table. Only this witch who is dedicated to avenging herself and Edsac would not care about these issues.
Just wait a little longer!
Rubbing his forehead, Rawls took a deep breath, picked up a pile of information on the side, and read it. This was the battle report sent by Lundborg, just as he said before when he played chess with Archbishop Bernhard,
The commander in charge of Lundberg's army now is not very good, even though he is a "Reaper".
After the fall of Ganoda, Fenebaud spent a day repairing, and then continued eastward to attack Azshara, the capital of Lemburg. This journey was only more than 200 kilometers, although there were plateaus, hills and
The forest blocked the area, but the room for detours was too small, so they could only resist step by step. They simply relied on the geographical advantages of the Munas Forest to temporarily repulse Fenebaud's first wave of attacks.
As Masi and Sehgal blocked the central plateau, Fenebaud's army stopped attacking and waited for follow-up orders from home. If there were no constant harassment of pirates in the coastal area, there would probably be more troops.
Attack in three directions at the same time.
However, as the number of pirates gradually increased, especially the emergence of powerful men like pirate generals, Fenebaud was less daring to act rashly. The emergence of the "Black Emperor" of the "King of the Five Seas" had already made the military
Fang's top management focused part of their energy on the coast until the night before yesterday.
The Fenebaud army took advantage of the darkness to organize a second attack and almost broke through the city of Munas. Despite this, Munas still fell yesterday afternoon. And this city is only 160 years away from the capital Azshara.
Ten kilometers away.
After reading the information, Rawls put it in a document bag and left the room with it. He now wants to find the Pope of the Church of Knowledge, His Majesty Albert Mendoza, to propose a replacement.
The coach's advice.
Just as he walked out of the room, he saw a figure standing at the other end of the corridor. After seeing Rawls coming out, he quickly entered the room.
Josephine?
Rawls frowned slightly, and his personal servant came over from the stairs and whispered:
"Your Majesty, Josephine has been observing here. It should be the queen who is looking for you. An hour ago, the wife and daughter of Loen's ambassador to Marsi, Lord Lyce Conrad came into the palace to see the queen."
"I understand." Rawls thought for a while and handed the file in his hand to the valet. "Twenty minutes later, I will send someone to ask Archbishop Bernhard to come to the study and say that I want to discuss with him the Lundberg military situation."
If you have any questions, please give this document to him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Along the corridor, Rawls stepped on the dark blue carpet and strode towards the room at the other end of the corridor. After taking a few steps, he saw Delina and her personal maid Josephine walking out of the room.
. He quickly quickened his pace, walked towards him and said:
"If you want to find me, just ask Josephine to come."
Although she was only more than one month pregnant, Delina still wore loose clothes, similar to a nightgown. The clothing of aristocratic women in this era, especially Luen, had an almost deformed aesthetic on the waist, and she wished she could squeeze it into a slap, so naturally it was
It didn't suit her. Her flaxen-blonde hair was neatly tied up, she didn't wear any jewelry, and there was some uneasiness in her dark green eyes.
Rawls put his arm around Delina's waist and walked towards the room. Josephine on the side lowered her head and went down the stairs.
After entering the room, Delina, who was hugged by Rawls, said quickly before sitting down:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Rawls, I have something to say..."
Her voice was normal at first, but it became lower and lower, and finally she lowered her head so much that even Rawls, who was a demigod, couldn't hear her.
Let Delina sit on the sofa, Rawls patted her shoulder and said softly:
"I know about Roen, right?"
After learning that Lys Conrad's wife and daughter had entered the palace, he knew that this was because the ambassador saw that he could not make a difference here and wanted to take the pillow style route.
As Loen's "Wartime Cabinet" made a decision to use money to drive pirates to harass the Feneport coast in order to alleviate the disadvantages of being unable to assist allies, the Central and Southern Alliance headed by Ma Xi must make a certain response.
, such as exchanging food for Loen’s military supplies to achieve a win-win situation.
Even if he wants to use the food crisis to threaten Loen, as the king of a country and the leader of an alliance, Rawls cannot do this, at least not too obviously, otherwise it will damage his own reputation and prestige.
It will have a great impact on Ma Xi's international image.
Therefore, he did not restrict this transaction too much. He actually used some of the grain reserves from the central and southern countries to trade military supplies with Lun, but Lun was not satisfied with the quantity and believed that the scale of the transaction should continue to expand.
But this is not what Rawls can agree to. Although he does have food in his hands. In addition to the grain reserves, he also has food purchased from Loen and Fenebaud in summer and autumn. But this is what he will do in the future.
En's trump card cannot be traded now.
"...The food traded is already one-third of the alliance's reserves. If there is more, it may implicate the entire alliance. You know that the people are still strangers to me and you. If the news leaks out, there will definitely be someone in Lundberg.
What’s more, the war has only started less than half a month ago, and even if Loen lacks food, it is impossible that he will not be able to survive even half a month..."
While explaining to himself, Rawls poured dirty water on Luen.
"...The Alliance only has so much land and population. Even if the output is higher, it is only one-fifth to one-quarter of Loen. Now Loen doesn't have that much demand for food. How much food do you think is being traded now?
Will it fall into the hands of the people? Those nobles must have more food in their hands than we do, but they are just reluctant to let it go..."
He did not lie. It is still the nobles who control a large amount of land in Loen. It is good for the farmers to have one month's reserves in their hands. Even the rich peasants can have up to one year's reserves. More importantly,
With the abolition of the Corn Laws, a large number of farmers entered factories and became workers, and naturally there were fewer people farming.
Although the war has not yet affected Loen's inland security, it is already November, and even if you want to farm, it will be difficult to harvest. Later, as George III failed to be promoted, Intis only entered the war to provide food.
The time of greatest shortage.
After putting Delina to sleep, Rawls pushed the door open and left the room, wiping the sweat from his head. He glanced at Josephine at the top of the stairs. He wanted to ban Conrad's wife and daughter from entering the palace, but
For Delina's sake, I had no choice but to give up this idea.
In Ma Xi, Delina was not familiar with many Loen people. Apart from the people around her, there were only some nobles. But as the wedding ended and the Loen social season began, the only person she could talk to was probably Lais Kang.
Ambassador Nader’s wife and daughter.
After telling Josephine that the queen had gone to sleep and not to disturb her, Rawls walked directly to his study.
…
"It seems that Your Majesty has been prepared for my arrival..."
Looking at the military map hanging on the wall, Rawls shook the document bag in his hand towards Pope Albert Mendoza. Bishop Bernhard, who had thick bags under his eyes and slender eyes, said helplessly:
"His Majesty……"
Of course, he told the Pope about this in advance. After the last chess game, he realized that Rawls had this idea, and he immediately reported it to his superiors.
Albert Mendoza, whose silver-white hair was only partially bound by a blue hairband with silver and brass patterns, and the rest hanging down, said with a slight smile on his lips:
"Can't it be my 'prophecy'?"
"Did Duke Fernandez also serve as your crown prince's 'prophecy' before?" Rawls had just put the document bag on the long table beside him when he saw something about the "Reaper" Commander Lundborg, Garcia.
material.
"Of course." Albert Mendoza nodded slightly and closed the heavy book in his hand.
And Bernhard had already silently exited the room filled with bookshelves.
Rawls was stunned and then understood what Albert meant. Even if it is a reminder from the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, it can be regarded as a "prophecy" in the eyes of the Pope. After all, it is an instruction from God.
.
"You are very suitable to be a 'lawyer'."
"Thank you for your compliment." Albert stood up and put the book on the shelf. "This is not a difficult task for a 'scholar', so it is not that easy to convince me."
Rawls was silent for a while, then he laughed and said:
"But if you say that, I know I don't need to convince you."
"You are very smart and suitable to be a 'reader'..." Albert, who was dressed in a plain white robe, stroked his beard and returned what Rawls had just said with a smile.
Obviously, not only Rawls, who was considering his own interests, realized Garcia's shortcomings, but Albert, as the pope, also realized this.
"In fact, Garcia is already an excellent general, and there is not much that Lundborg can offer him. And the strength of the 'Reaper' cannot allow the army he leads to resist the 'Law Master''s' reality-enhanced, mysterious
"Weaken' the law, there is no time for him to complete the promotion ceremony now."
If you want to be promoted to the "Iron-Blooded Knight", you need to form a team of at least thirty people, cultivate a deep comradeship with them, let them become stronger one after another, and cooperate with each other tacitly, and can understand each other's meaning based on their eyes and movements.
Nearly one, and then they form a ceremony. The higher the strength and tacit understanding of the team, the better the effect of the ceremony.
Although war is the best place to complete rituals, as a military commander, Garcia has no time or opportunity to do this.
"I know what you are thinking, but do you have any way to restrain that evil spirit?
"Aren't you afraid that she will lead Lundborg's army to attack Sehgal and Masi? Even if she really settles down, she will still have enough connections with these armies.
"You should know that the existence of a strong person like this can affect the people around her. As long as she has malicious intentions, even a saint will be affected."
Faced with Albert's series of problems, Rawls was not surprised. These problems were already within his scope of consideration. Without solving these problems, it would be impossible for him to agree to the "Red Angel" evil spirit.
He crossed his fingers, placed them between his chest and abdomen, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, I have a question to ask you."
"you say."
Albert's white eyebrows hanging down to his cheeks were raised, with a gentle smile on his face, waiting for the students' questions like the most ordinary teacher.
