"He really said that?"

The voice from the communication crystal was low and slow, and upon hearing this question, the Danny MP hurriedly stood up and nodded to the front nodded ———, although in front of him was nothing more than a crystal with no life characteristics at all. Ball only.

"Yes, lord, that youngster looks very confident. Frankly speaking, I did not expect him to dare ..."

"He is playing with fire."

The Danny's speech was not finished yet, so the other party was coldly interrupted.

"He does n’t know what kind of development could it be will bring to the situation? He is provoking Kingdom of Light! Forget it, now it is useless, what does Lydia mean?"

"Your Highness Lydia has not made any decision, but looking at the current situation, she is obviously very biased towards the youngster side."

"Humph ..."

After hearing Danny ’s answer, the crystal ball suddenly sneered. After a while, it re-started talking: "This is also what we expected, but I did not expect Lydia; little girl this time Actually, such a great determination ......... Very good, Mr. Danny, you did well. However, since the other party intends to take the initiative to attack, then we have to make some changes in our plans. Mr. Danny, you Contacting Parliament this time is more than just reporting the content of the hearing. "

"Yes, sir, as I stated to you before, since the youngster has already made a move, I think Your Highness Lydia will soon go to Land of Redemption in order to cooperate with his move, although frankly speaking, I do n’t think there is really enough strength in the other party to wipe out the existence of Demon Duke, but ... after all, this kind of thing is not what I can judge, so I expect Parliament to send someone to help me deal with this matter. "

"Oh? Who do you want?"

"Mist Sword Saint Your Excellency."

"……………………"

This time, the other side of the crystal ball did not give a quick answer. On the contrary, after the other party was silent for a long time, they only re-asked: "Is this necessary? Mr. Danny, you need to know you What does this requirement mean? Frankly speaking, I do n’t think there is anyone other than the little girl who is worth our Mist Sword Saint Your Excellency in Moon Dukedom. You have to know if you make a mistake ......... "

"Excuse me bluntly, sir, I think that youngster is not simple. Since he has the courage to provoke the Parliament of light in public, he even poses a look of fearlessness. From the consistent practice of youngster, I think It is unlikely that he is bluffing, and if something happens, Mist Sword Saint Your Excellency is also convenient ... "

“……………… Well, I agree with you. After all, this plan can only succeed for Parliament, but it cannot fail. That youngster has brought us too much trouble, whether he is unintentional or not It ’s still intentional. Now that he has become a big obstacle affecting our plan, this time ... I have to find a chance to solve him anyway, as for the Lydia ... I do n’t think that little girl will For a little Noble, I completely flipped my face with Parliament. Remember, if the little girl wants to do something to you after it succeeds, immediately release sound of the wind, according to our usual practice ......... you understand. /

"Understood, sir."

The magic brilliance of the crystal ball in front of me gradually dimmed. Until this time, Mr. Danny wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then sat back on the comfortable sofa, he eyes narrowed, watching the crystal in front of him The ball, then the corner of the mouth slightly raised. Up to this time, this guy with a long pug-like look suddenly showed a brutal expression on his face, which seemed to be the expression of hound when he was squatting and catching prey.

I have to admit that youngster did play very well, but it ’s a pity that he did n’t see the boundaries of Moon Royal Family. Otherwise, he thought that our light Parliament would dare to engage in Moon Dukedom. rain? Loyalty is a virtue, but stupidity is not. This youngster seems to have great ambitions and goals, but unfortunately, he chose a wrong partner.

It is a pity that such a decisive, courageous, and capable young generation is rare even in Kingdom of Light. If he was born in Kingdom of Light's, there must be a very bright and bright future. But now, he can only fall here ... because this youngster will soon realize that reality is not always as good as he imagined.

The reality is indeed not as good as imagined.

Rhodes picked up the black tea at hand, and the tempting fragrance came, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to taste it.

"Excuse me bluntly, Your Highness Lydia, you should have also noticed that this time the light Parliament is coming, not just looking for the trouble of finding Moon Dukedom so simple."

"I know this very well, Official Rhodes."

Lydia reached out his right hand and cut a small piece of cream cake in front of his eyes with a silver knife agility.

"The arrival of storms often has no warning. The calmer the waves, the more hints that there will be storms. The abacus of light Parliament is very clever this time, but unfortunately, they are not without flaws. Just like when a person wants to throw a heavy punch, he will always unconsciously condense his strength. This time Parliament is too sloppy and too simple for our hearing and investigation. "

Say here, Lydia lightly smiled, and then she put a small piece of cake in her mouth.

"I think Official Rhodes you must have never seen the Parliament of the light to question me at ordinary times, as long as the mice think they hold me by the slightest handle, they will send people to come out and move out a thick pile of legal provisions , And then asked me one by one and asked me to answer the question ———. This kind of question generally needs at least one day. Of course, the group of mice is also very clear that all they did is just make trouble, but they still Do n’t tirelessly, do you know why? ”

"Because Your Highness you are Moon Dukedom Lord."

Hearing here, Rhodes is not a fool, naturally understand the meaning of this.

"As a Dukedom Manager, if you are repeatedly questioned like a criminal by Parliament, it will damage the majesty of you and Royal Family."

"At the same time, it is also a symbol of light Parliament to show everyone its strength and power."

Lydia took over what Rhodes did not finish. And hearing Lydia's words, Rhodes can only shrug his shoulders. Indeed, this very stifling thing. In terms of national strength and wealth, Moon Dukedom is not worse than Kingdom of Light. Although the land area of ​​the two sides may be different, if strictly defined, the area of ​​Kingdom of Light itself is not large. Because Kingdom of Light originally is a federal state formed by the union of various territories sheltered by Dragon Soul of Light. In initial-stage, the entire Kingdom of Light's territory is not even half as big as Moon. Formed the original Dragon of Light Kingdom. After that, the Lord added to Dragon of Light Kingdom gradually increased and eventually increased to twenty-five, which is also the territory where Dragon of Light Kingdom is ultimately located. Moon Dukedom does not know the reason. Although they have always been loyal to the dragon of light, they have never joined this country, but have been wandering outside in this unique form.

The originally and the two parties are at peace, but since the Dragon of Light has decentralized all power to Parliament, and eventually led to the complete seizure of power by Parliament, this "bilateral friendly relationship" has also been declared broken, as Kingdom of Light has not been added, but The Moon Dukedom, which follows the dragon of light, is a thorn in the eye for the light of Parliament. They have always been afraid that Moon Dukedom will assist the dragon of light to regain their rights. Therefore, Parliament of light has also thought about many ways. They have spent a long time trying to win over Moon Dukedom to join Kingdom of Light, because then, even if they are completely under the jurisdiction of the light of Parliament, by that time, the light of Parliament is not afraid of these guys causing trouble.

But I do n’t know the reason why Moon Dukedom rejected the invitation of the light Parliament one after another, and for the light Parliament, it is just to confirm their guess. Obviously, Moon Dukedom rejected the light Parliament in their It seems to be have bad intentions. Since this is the case, the light of Parliament is no longer necessary to treat Moon Dukedom with ——— as a matter of course. They selectively forgot that they invited Moon Dukedom to join Kingdom of Light is also have bad intentions.

In this way, Moon Dukedom and Kingdom of Light began to fall into a weird hostile relationship. On the surface, the two sides are still at peace, but privately they are all kinds of confrontations. Moon Dukedom will send each year in the name of tribute to the dragon of light It ’s a lot of money, and it is known to everyone around the world. This Parliament tooth is so itchy, they have been trying to reduce the influence of the dragon of light among the people, but Moon Dukedom does this every year. Once, it was like tearing the scar that was about to heal hard, and reminding them of the existence of the dragon of light with the strongest pain.

What ’s more terrible is that they ca n’t take away the money. Although the land area of ​​Dragon of Light Kingdom looks large under the twenty-five territories, the rich and the poor are also very differentiated. Many territories chose to join Dragon of Light Kingdom In order to seek the assistance of Parliament, but the money of Dragon of Light Kingdom is always limited, so many times, they need the money of Moon Dukedom to fill the financial deficit. ——— As a wealthy country, Moon Dukedom provides to the Dragon of Light every year That money is enough to feed three or five poor territories!

Of course, they also did not think about offsetting the impact. At the beginning, the light Parliament took the money in one hand and smeared Moon Dukedom there in the other hand, but Moon Dukedom is not a Kaizi. Soon, in response, the first In the second year, Moon Dukedom reduced the payment of original by two thirds for various reasons.

And the light of Parliament soon suffered. They originally thought that without the money of Moon Dukedom, Kingdom of Light could also manage this financial deficit, but when Moon Dukedom gave the dragon of light two thirds less than originally After making the payment, these officials discovered that this loophole simply was not filled by them! !

As a result, two territories suffered major disasters and famines that year, and the money given by Moon Dukedom was not enough to provide relief. As a result, these two territories produced large-scale violence * and commotion, which made the light of Parliament Burnt out. It took a lot of time and energy to reassure the other party, but in this way, reconstruction and clean-up requires funds, but Kingdom of Light has not changed any more money, so in desperation, they only politely greet Moon Dukedom In the next year's handover of ———, Hoshihiko Parliament held a grand handover ceremony in the name of Parliament, which was considered a secret to Moon Dukedom, and after this, Moon Dukedom only restored the originally gift to the dragon of light. The number of payments. In order to prevent the situation from repeating itself, since then, the light of Parliament can't say anything more, only to pinch his nose and watch the presence of the dragon of light in Moon Dukedom in front of everyone every year, but there is no word at all. Dare to say more.

However, the relationship between the two parties did not get better, but worsened. The grand ceremony was brought to shame and shame by Parliament. They have been proud that they have regained human, independent power from Creation God. But Moon Dukedom forcefully forced them to bow down to an indifferent **** again, which is not tolerated by Parliament. However, Moon Dukedom did not relax the oppression of Parliament, so they will have a grand handover ceremony every year after that, and they clearly told the Kingdom of Light people that the money donated by the dragon without light is poor. I can't even support my own family!

The relationship between the two parties is getting worse and worse, it is almost impossible to directly announce the war with cast aside all considerations for face.

But it seems that it is not far from this day now.

Recalling these past events found in the forum and game history in his mind, Rhodes sighed, then he raised his head and looked at Lydia with a serious and solemn expression.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for taking the liberty. I have a question and I always hope to ask you for answers."

"You want to ask, Moon Dukedom, as a direct member of the Dragon of Light, why sit and watch it lose its power, but are indifferent?"

"……………………"

In response to the Lydia smiling rhetorical question, Rhodes did not answer, but nodded, although player guessed a lot on the forum, and even some of them should be the truth. But he still hopes to hear the other person's answer from the mouth of the Grand Duke Your Highness. Although he said that in the game, he no longer has this opportunity, but now, he has another opportunity.

Lydia looked at Rhodes with a smile. There were no shadows in those eyes, as bright as the sun in June, but I do n’t know why, Rhodes always felt that her smile seemed a bit sad.

“Official Rhodes, the vine will climb up to the tree, because it has will which yearns for the sun and longs for warmth and brilliance. For this reason, it does not hesitate to kill the tree ——— but for the flowers that are lying on the ground In other words, no matter how hard you try, you ca n’t let it bloom at the top of a tall tree, because it has no incentive to support its upward climb. ”

"............... You mean ..............."

Hearing this, Rhodes' complexion moved slightly. Although Lydia said something very obscure, Rhodes thinks he has understood what the other party wants to express.

"Yes."

Smiling Rhodes' expressions taking in the whole scene at once and Lydia, then she reached out and poured another cup of fragrant black tea into the Rhodes' teacup, then elegantly picked up two pieces of white sugar and put it in it.

"However, Moon Dukedom is not just about being at the mercy of people. The wind might overwhelm the trees for a while, but in the end it will still stand up again, isn't it?"

"However, it may be directly blown down by the wind, isn't it? Your Highness?"

"Of course, Official Rhodes."

The Rhodes' rebuttal did not make Lydia show any displeasure. On the contrary, she looked at youngster with a smile, just like a playful girl who was proud of her because of the mischief.

"However, when the rolling forest blocks the strong wind, how can it destroy one of the trees?"

"............... I think I understand what you mean."

Rhodes smiled bitterly, and then took the tea cup ——— under the action of two pieces of white sugar. Now the cup of black tea is sweet and a little greasy, but Rhodes drank it quietly. Of course, he knows why Lydia did it. After all, as a little baron, he was really rude to the question of this Grand Duke Your Highness. This is also regarded as Lydia becoming a relatively small punishment for his ———. Much more.

"But Your Highness, once someone enters the forest and cut down the trees, it wo n’t be too long, and the wind will swept through again."

"So I need brave and smart rangers to help me expel these malicious intruders."

"Is it just expel?"

"If they do too much, I do n’t mind .................."

Speaking of this, Lydia paused a little, then she stood up and walked to the window, looking at the back of the girl. Soon, Rhodes heard the crisp voice of Lydia again.

"Official Rhodes, as a Guild Leader of Mercenary Guild, you must also have mountain bandit to face those harassing villages and towns."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"So, if you want to make sure that the village is no longer attacked by mountain bandit, how do you do it? Just build a solid line of defense in the village, and repel the opponent's attack again and again, looking forward to those Is it difficult to retreat? "

"This is certainly not possible, Your Highness ......... The once and for all approach is to find the robber's nest and wipe them out."

"There is nothing wrong with it."

Lydia turned around.

The dazzling sunlight shone from behind her, and the shadow covered the face of Lydia. Rhodes could n’t see her expression, but could hear her voice.

"The thieves and petty mice are still tolerable, but if the ferocious jackal comes, then it ’s another matter."
