Law of the Devil Chapter 259: [Hot potato]
Chapter two hundred and fifty-nine [hot potato]
The old hat hat doesn't look bad.
After returning to the Ducal Mansion, Du Wei immediately sought a clean room in the cellar under the castle.
This was requested by Gandov himself. He asked for a dark place where the sun couldn't be seen.
In fact, this old green-hat guy is hurting strangely, according to Joanna's explanation: he is now afraid of the sun.
Dewey thought about it, and only temporarily vacated the cellar in the castle to heal the old guy.
As for the one hundred barrels of wine proposed by Gandorf, it's not a joke. He reiterated this request very seriously. Obviously, he could not drink a hundred barrels of wine by himself, even if he used it for bathing. However, this demand is still difficult to defeat Du Wei.
Desa province is not short of food now, and folks have enough surplus food to make wine this year. Although the Duke's House had insufficient wine, Dewey sent soldiers around the city, and he made up the number.
In the middle of the night, many taverns were knocked on the door of the house. Those who were awakened by their bosses saw the soldiers outside the door in horror. They were still scared in their hearts, but their attitude was kind and simple. It shows that after the Lord Duke asked for a hundred barrels of wine to be collected overnight, all the tavern owners contributed their own inventory. Moreover, some bosses who expressed their gratitude for Du Wei's good governance also expressed generously that they could not collect money. However, soldiers under Du Wei's strict order paid the full price for alcohol.
After all the wine was moved into the cellar, Old Gandolph closed the door to the cellar, leaving a sentence: "Don't let anyone disturb me in a month, anyone, including you."
Even to avoid trouble, Old Gandolf himself arranged a magic circle on the periphery of the cellar. Even more holding a mute magic. In this way, even if the sky is falling apart, he can sleep with a hundred barrels of wine in it.
So, despite Dewey's doubts, he had to run to ask Joanna.
At least, Du Wei is not too afraid of this violent woman now ... Although this female magician who threatens to turn people into ice crystals is a bad guy, Du Wei asked herself now Strength, you should not worry too much about this.
"That's the way it is." Joanna picked up the largest cup on the table, and used a bold gesture. As soon as I lifted my neck, I drank a large glass of wine, and then took a long breath. I did not forget to praise Du Wei: "Your wine here is really good. It seems to be a powerful noble. It ’s also good. "
Dewey is still immersed in what Joanna just said. After a while, Du Wei reluctantly sorted out his thoughts and smiled bitterly: "You mean. You and your teacher ..."
"It's our teacher." Joanna quickly corrected Du Weidi's wording mistake: "Now the teacher has promised to accept you as a disciple. So whether you like it or not, you must respect him as a teacher."
"Okay, our teacher! You and our teacher, after leaving the capital that day, went straight to the north? Then headed north from the frozen forest. We ran to the forgotten icefield ... and then The Dragon Mountain? "
"Yes."
"Our teacher challenged the patriarch of the Dragon clan ... and ..."
"At the beginning. The other party didn't seem to take us seriously, but these big flying reptiles soon realized that they had made a serious mistake. The teacher personally took the other dragon responsible for patrolling the outer periphery of the mountain. With only a sigh of relief, the old dragon finally came out to fight. "
Du Wei sighed, and then imagined the scene where the green robe Gandov met with the dragon chief ... Then he smiled bitterly: "It must be a very dramatic meeting."
Conceivable. When the old dragon saw Gandalf wearing a green robe, he must have been shocked! At least I saw a guy who was killed by himself and appeared in front of me. This kind of thing is not something anyone can encounter.
By the way, Du Wei asked the time very carefully. Obviously, when the two daring guys in the green robe Gandorf and Joanna killed the Dragon God Mountain. The three princes of the Dragon family should have set off against themselves.
For this question, Joanna explained duvet silently.
"We haven't been to Shenshan again. My teacher and I walked around the hell-freezing forest for months, and we didn't know how many Warcrafts were killed along the way. The most hateful thing was that when we started, I met humans, but later, no one knew what was going on north of Dayuan Lake. The **** forest was too big. Its area was as large as the two provinces combined. It was only vague before. I heard that it was heading north. But a large area 'go north', **** it. The ghost knows exactly where the road to Shenshan is. "
So, this big, small, and two idiots has been in the frozen forest for too long, and when they reached Shenshan, the patriarch of the Dragon clan has sent its three sons.
As for the pk of Mr. Green Hat and Mrs. Dragon, there is nothing worth describing. After all, the original Gandof, Hussein and Medusa, the three strong players beat the old dragon, all lost. Although the green hat has the same strength as the authentic Gandorf, but there is only one end to the old dragon: lose!
And it was a terrible loss.
Fortunately, in the battle before Dewey escaped from the frozen forest, the old dragon was not damaged. It was also injured lightly, and the most depressing is that under the cooperation of the three masters, Lao Long had been forced to use the two great tricks "Dragon God Guardian" and "Dragon God" Warframe "
These two tricks, one can be immune to any magical abnormal state. One is a physical defense that is powerful enough to pervert!
In theory, the dragon patriarchs who possess these two tricks have almost ignored any magic and physical attacks.
Fortunately, these two tricks are said to be used only once in a hundred years. When meeting Mr. Green Hat, Lao Long could not use these two tricks.
Moreover, the injuries on his body were not healed. Only gave Green Hat the chance to escape.
"You said that the Dragons themselves had trouble?" Du Wei was concerned about this issue.
"It seems to be north of Shenshan, what strong enemy has come."
The words of Joanna seem to be understatement, but Du Wei fell into meditation.
North?
According to previous speculations, the north side of the Dragon God Mountain is the legend, after the ancient war, the evil races were driven out by the goddess of light from the land of Roland. Genie? dwarf? Orc? Maybe there are many more ...
The dragon clan responsible for guarding Shenshan is the first line of defense to prevent these criminals from returning to the land of Roland. It is also the strongest line of defense since ancient times, with a strong dragon guard. This line of defense has never been breached.
But what does "encountered trouble" mean this time?
Are the sinners in the north strong enough to make the dragons nervous, and may even be broken?
Du Wei needs to consider: If there really is such a group of sinners in the north, if this group of guys who have been expelled from ancient times is really powerful. To the point where even the Dragons can't resist ...
If such a group of powerful aliens broke through the dragon clan guard and returned to the land of Roland, how much impact would it have on the human world?
Dragons can't resist it. Can humans resist it?
Just thinking for a while. Even Du Wei himself couldn't help laughing: eh, am I too worried? Or do you think of yourself as a savior too? If the sinners in the north really come back, the first to suffer is Prince Chen, the regent, and the pope of the temple. Even the **** of the goddess of light ... even from one to one hundred, I can't talk about the noble responsibility of "taking the world as my responsibility".
Although this self-consolation is a good way, Dewey still has a deep anxiety.
In the end, he noticed a situation where things were completely out of his control!
Uncontrolled!
Du Wei can tolerate eating crickets in the Northwest, eating prairie people, eating crickets from the Northwest Army, and even allow himself to temporarily compromise with Bohan. But the premise is: At present it seems that all of this is under his control. All necessary steps within their own plans.
But the northern dragons. And there are those sinners in the north ... these are not beyond Dewey's control.
Du Wei has always had a mentality: not afraid of difficulties, but hate troubles beyond his control.
Fuck ... the mainland is born ... it's my fart!
Du Wei reached a conclusion fiercely.
Anyway, what did the sinners and dragons do in the north ... Joanna doesn't know about this problem. Because at that time, she and "our teacher" had already ran away.
"Okay, my dear sister." Du Wei squeezed a smile: "Anyway, the trouble of the Dragons has given the Dragons a headache. At least they have an old dragon with an abnormal strength. Uh . I almost forgot to say, welcome to the territory of the Northwest Tulip Family. If you are willing to go out, just walk around. Buy whatever you like. Here you can enjoy fine food and everything else Enjoy. But the premise is ... For you and I are apprentices of 'our teacher', please don't cause me any trouble, let alone make others unfavorable because of who is not pleasing to the eye. Made into soul ice crystals. Okay? "
"I want to find something to do." Joanna seemed restless.
Du Wei had a headache for a while, and then patted his head: "So, Governor Borhan of Nulin Province has been asking me to give him a little" magic assistance ", and he was there under the Northwest Army's front. But I have never had a magician. I have decided that after two months, I will send the first batch of five magic students to help him. If you want, in these two months, you can fine tune Take a look at my group of students, they all have good talents. "Suddenly, considering the violent woman's temperament, Du Wei still carefully put forward his bottom line request:" I can do whatever you want to do. These poor boys, but my requirement is: after two months. I want to see all my students are complete! Understand? One finger is not enough. And I want to see their strength Clear improvement! If you can't do both, I don't think you are suitable for this job. "
As soon as Joanna's eyes brightened, a cruel smile emerged from the corner of the woman's mouth: "Oh? Is it going to be a baby-sitter for a rookie? This job sounds very interesting ... Well, I accept it!" /
"Remember these two conditions!" Du Wei reiterated.
"I see! The first is to ask them to be completely unharmed, and the second is to improve their strength, right?" Joanna smiled indifferently, but then she still showed her fox tail: "I promise you ... Their bodies will not be harmed ... but I cannot guarantee that some of them will not leave any psychological shadows! "
Du Wei sighed ... I won't call myself a female demon.
It is imperative that what Du Wei needs to understand now is: after killing Dragon II, then next, will the Prince of Dragon III come to trouble himself?
Fortunately, this problem was quickly resolved.
On the second day after Gandorf ’s apprentices arrived in Loulan City, Dewey was anxious to send Joanna and 26 students to Giliat City.
It's so lucky. Because there was a special guest that afternoon. Fortunately, this special guest arrived after Joanna left.
Otherwise, Du Wei is worried that Loulan City will become a battlefield.
In the afternoon. There was a dragon yin from the sky of Loulan City. The roar of this top-level creature has caused great panic to the humans in the city. Fortunately, the panic was brought under control by trained Tulip soldiers.
Ten thousands of people have seen their eyes, above the sky. A large black cloud-like shadow glided across the air. Long wings, plus a long tail, a huge body, a huge head, sharp claws ...
"Dragon !!! Is a dragon !!!"
When the first shouting voice broke out, it quickly got countless responses.
A huge adult black dragon gradually lowered its height after hovering around Roland City. It confirmed that the soldiers below did not shoot arrows at it. This was the sound of the human voice with a thick voice.
"Duke of Tulips! I want to see the Duke of Tulips!"
Du Wei met the dragon in a daunting manner on the highest tower of his Ducal Mansion castle.
"Hello ..." Du Wei looked at the behemoth in front of him. Its wings fluttered, and a strong wind blew on Dewey's face, making his skin feel pain.
However, compared with the two previous dragon princes, this black dragon is his old acquaintance.
"Oh ... Dewey! You detestable human." The black dragon lowered his height appropriately. It stretched the neck. Looking at Dewey up close.
Du Wei didn't care what the big lizard called himself, he shrugged. The tone is very relaxed: "Oh, Your Excellency the Dragon Chief Guardian, Your respected Dragon First Warrior, First Wise ... Uh, do you want to ask me any wisdom questions this time?"
Remembering that the problem of using the arithmetic sequence in math last time made this stupid dragon almost want to break his head, Du Wei couldn't help but laugh.
Speaking of his own affair, the Dragon Guardian grown up was also a little embarrassed, and grinned at Du Wei's teeth: "Oh, cunning human! I haven't figured out that your answer is right! Damn it! Yes ... there are n’t so many humans on the mountain, and there are n’t so many rooms! "
"You can calculate slowly." Du Wei swaggered his mouth: "Well, dear Master Guard, did you come to declare war on me? Oh ... I almost forgot to thank you, thank you The information provided did not let me die in the hands of the two previous dragon princes. So, are you here on behalf of the three princes? "
"The three princes are very dissatisfied with your approach." The stupid dragon sighed, but even if it sighed, it sounded like a thunder.
"Dissatisfied?" Du Wei smiled: "I didn't kill the second prince."
"I don't care who killed the cowardly guy. As the King of the Golden Dragons, I can't even fight it. A cowardly guy, die when you die!" The black dragon seemed to himself Is still very proud: "The reason why the three princes are dissatisfied is: Since you can kill one, why didn't you kill the other?"
"Uh ... if I kill that big prince too, then no one can compete with the three princes for the position of patriarch, right?" Du Wei smiled slightly.
Well, the wisdom of these large reptiles is really limited. How can such a crude strategy compare to humans.
"So the three princes are very dissatisfied." Heilong snorted. There was a blaze of flames in his nose. Fortunately, Du Wei had been prepared, and he took a magic defense to dissolve the blaze, and then laughed: "Dear Master Guard, please, His Royal Highness Three Princes, I still need What can I do for you? "
"Peace." Black Dragon seemed a little dissatisfied: "His Royal Highness let me tell you. No matter what, you made a little achievement ... Although it is very weak, um, only a little bit. But your highness kind, still decided What do you want. Our benevolent Highness. But a leader with clear rewards and punishments!
A warm smile immediately appeared on Du Wei's face: "Oh? Then I don't know, His Royal Highness Three Princes, what are you going to reward me?"
The black dragon stretched out its huge claws, then slowly stretched out. The palm of my hand is like a small round bead like crystal.
"What is this?"
Du Wei obviously felt a faint magic wave.
"This is an orb of refuge from fire." The black dragon arrogantly said, "This kind of thing is not very useful for the powerful dragons. But for the small human magician, it should be a good one. Reward. In addition, the three princes told you that it is temporarily satisfied with you guy, so if you have any orders next time, let you follow suit.
Du Wei doesn't care about the arrogance of the other person's tone ... facing such a simple-headed idiot. Dewey didn't care about it.
Carefully accepted the "reward", Du Wei suddenly smiled at the black dragon. His smile was a bit sly.
Well, from this guy's tone, he doesn't have to worry about the three princes coming to trouble himself again. Since the other party mentioned "next time", the three princes would not come to kill themselves before "next time" cooperation.
Unfortunately ... I still want a dragon pet.
"By the way, the three princes should have returned to Shenshan." Du Wei suddenly asked such a question, which surprised Black Dragon. Du Wei continued to laugh: "Did the sinners in the north come again? Oh. Don't get me wrong, I just expressed a little worry about the great dragons. If I can, I am willing to give a little strength."
"Huh, the great dragons don't need any help!" The black dragon rejected Du Wei very simply, but it still said a little bit of information that pleased Du Wei: "Those guys, they organize every few decades. Invaded, but we were defeated every time. So you do n’t have to worry about it! For us, it ’s just for us to fill up the abyss of sin! I hope that the more sinners we have, the better ! In this way, we can cut off the heads of some sinners and fill that abyss, and the Dragon will be liberated!
"Do your work well, human!" Heilong smiled dismissively: "Now the three princes and the great prince have rushed back to Shenshan. As for you ... Your Highness the three princes let me tell you, in view of your This time I made a little achievement. It has a good impression on you as a human being. If you continue to work hard, maybe it will drop its status and be a friend with you. "
Hum, be friends? I really want to be the owner of it.
Du Wei laughed secretly, but smiled on his face: "So ... is there anything else?"
"No!" The black dragon growled, and flew away, but suddenly left the last sentence: "Hey ... that ... next time you meet, you tell me how to calculate that subject Me! "
Looking at this huge figure flying into the sky, it gradually became a little ... Du Wei was relieved.
He's not afraid of this black dragon. With his current power, leaving this guy is not a problem. And ... just in the cellar of the castle at the foot, there is a green hat Gandov.
The old guy is not looking at the dragons! Because of the discomfort before, he slaughtered a dragon prince. If this old guy found the visit of the black dragon, he would most likely slaughter a land.
But Du Wei didn't want to kill this stupid dragon. After all ... after learning about the invaders of sinners ...
Let's leave some power for the dragons. after all. This year, good watchdogs are really hard to find.
Now it seems that the troubles of the dragon princes are temporarily resolved. Although Du Wei is not afraid of any dragon prince. But after all, this monster visit is still very troublesome. Moreover, compared to the elegant prince, the proud second prince ... This three prince does not seem to be a noble guy, and it may not be terrible to face a powerful enemy. But in the face of a powerful enemy with a bad character. That would be troublesome.
With Du Wei's strength, he is not afraid of a prince of the Dragon tribe to face the challenge. But if you play a little bit behind, it can cause headaches.
Now, the trouble is solved. It seems that Du Wei can be a little easier in the next days.
Du Wei began to focus on the Northwest Corridor.
How to guard a ten-mile-wide canyon tens of kilometers ...
At this time, another thing happened to Du Wei.
This time is troublesome. From Imperial City!
Because the former Golden Wolf head soldier infiltrated the province of Desa, the emperor was angry, and even if Prince Chen reluctantly tolerated it, he could not bear the behavior of "blatant trampling on territorial sovereignty".
Even if Du Wei knows it well. The Empire is now completely unprepared for a full-scale war. In the past few years, Prince Chen will most likely pay close attention to accumulating strength and stabilizing internal issues. For the prairie people, for the time being, the strategy of comfort is the main place ...
But this matter. The Empire cannot remain silent. Otherwise, at least the dignity of the empire is an unexplainable issue.
Even if it's for the sake of face, you should show toughness appropriately.
Wang Ting on the grassland also seems to have a restful attitude. Envoys have been sent to the imperial capital on the grassland.
I heard that for this matter, the Empire ’s military command has been quarrelling. Several military leaders smashed several tables and smashed dozens of tea cups. There are even a group of young generals, and even wrote a blood book to ask the regent king ...
The negotiation with the prairie people, however, did not get a good result.
Both sides are bullshit.
The prairie people don't want to fight, and the empire doesn't want to fight. So from the beginning rubbing his fists, turned into spitting each other.
It's been a month since this thing started. But the imperial capital's negotiating table is still anxious.
Well, or, to be precise, diplomatic officials of the Empire. And grassland envoys. The biggest work of the day is to think hard and think of more saliva. Then squirted at the negotiating table.
Of course, in support of the negotiations, the military has also made some symbolic moves. For example, the Wangcheng Guards Corps conducted a small-scale military exercise, and issued a symbolic document asking the Northwest Army to enter a state of combat readiness ...
But Du Wei knows that the value of such documents is not much higher than shit.
The Northwest Army enters combat readiness? What a joke! The Northwest Army has been in combat readiness for so many years!
In addition, once the fight is started, the army must be mobilized, and countless amounts of money and grain will be shipped to the northwest ... to whom? Shipped to the Northwest Army? Supplement the Northwest Army with money and supplies? Prince Chen will not do such a mentally disabled thing!
Du Wei can be sure that Prince Chen will not fight the prairie until the Northwest Army is resolved. This is the bottom line.
The negotiating table became a place for politicians to perform. The main war faction is busy speaking and asking for battle, the anti-war faction is busy counting the expected consumption figures of the war. They have really worked hard. From this result, if the empire goes to war, I am afraid that it will let the empire's national strength go back a hundred years ...
This exaggeration can be justified, and it is also very popular in the capital.
After all, the empire has been peaceful for too long, too long. From top to bottom, quite a few people have been at peace. There is an instinctive aversion or fear of war.
In Didu, the little Zach who took care of Dewey ’s business in Didu passed all the news to the northwest. At the beginning, Dewey was gloating.
Prince Chen must have a headache now. The hawks and doves below are arguing endlessly. As the actual emperor, Prince Chen must now be tireless.
But soon ... this headache has fallen on Dewey's head!
To be exact, eighty days after the fighting in Giliat City. A special envoy of the imperial capital came to the Duke of Loulan City in the province of Desa.
The envoy took a team of Royal Guards on a gorgeous wagon with gorgeous thorns and flowers on the wagon, and brought a scepter symbolizing the authority of the empire ... plus ...
A commission order written by Prince Chen.
"Duke Roland Empire Tulip Duke, court scholar, court magician, court astrologer, member of the Roland Empire Academy of Magic. Member of the Society of Magic, led by the Governor of Desa, His Excellency Duville Rudolph, special for the Empire State Councilor! Handle all matters concerning the diplomatic friction between the empire and the prairie court. And grant full responsibility! I hope that the Duke will not carry the burden of trust, carry forward my imperial power, and maintain the majestic flag of thorns!
(Signed) Augustine VI, Emperor Roland and Emperor Regent of the Empire. The order was granted on August 16, 961 in the Empire, with immediate effect! "
It is not someone else who brought this autographed mandate. It is also an old acquaintance of Dewey.
The count Earl looked at Du Wei's ugly face, and smiled softly: "Master Duke, it seems that His Royal Highness Chen really trusts you very much. Such major affairs of the state are also fully delegated to you! Now We and the prairie are fighting, it's in your mind. "
Du Wei was stunned holding this commission, and really felt that at this moment, there are two big heads!
Hello, Prince Chen. I threw this hot potato to me ...
Forbearing to tear up the commission, or screaming violently, Du Wei smiled reluctantly, put away the thing, and then kindly took the hand of Earl Villa and walked into his own study.
After closing the door, Du Wei looked at the Earl with a smile and sighed, "Sir Earl Villa. I remember that you have never been involved in such government affairs. Why did you come here in person this time?" Northwest? "
"The meaning of His Highness Chen, because of my family's business. It has a lot to do with the prairie and knows more about the prairie, so I was commissioned to come to the northwest. This time, Lord Duke, your negotiation with the prairie, I Will assist you. "
"Haha ..." Du Wei laughed a few times: "So, I'm the ambassador, you are the deputy."
Earl Villa wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with a bitter smile: "Isn't it ... I'm fine, I've also been caught in this mess. Lord Duke, you are the most trusted of His Highness Chen People, this time, I will rely on your mission to make all decisions for you. "
Hum, do you want to avoid responsibility ... Du Wei despised the guy for a moment. Immediately Shen said, "Well, now is not the time to have a headache. Now that the Regent has sent you here, what should he bring me?"
Berea's expression was sighed, and then she sighed and whispered, "When I came, His Highness Chen only let me bring you one sentence!"
"Oh? What did His Highness say?"
Earl Villa had a terrible look, then smiled bitterly and said a short sentence.
"His Royal Highness said: You take care of it."
Du Wei finally couldn't hold back this time, he could not help but curse:
"Fuck!"
