The Magic Thief Chapter 10:
The continuous long-distance travel for three days, day and night, did not make Ruibo feel sleepy or bored. At this moment, he was staring at the beautiful scenery that seemed to be a fairy tale world outside the window with his incomparable admiring eyes.
Look at the lush green woods full of hillsides and hills, the hillsides showing the verdant colors, and the herds of cattle and sheep strolling leisurely on this endless green field, look In the distance, the little red roofs revealed from the gaps in the woods, cols, and valleys.
He finally believed that His Royal Highness's praise for this place, this is indeed the most beautiful piece of land in the Kingdom of Terry, and he has already enjoyed the fascinating scenery on both sides of the road along the way.
Since their carriage set foot on this land, from Agsburg to Folsom, from Folsom to Monach, just sitting on the carriage and admiring the scenery on both sides has made Ribo wait for it. Jump out of the car window and blend into this wonderful nature.
This is a fairyland on earth. It is like a golden paradise full of magic and miracles with the lives of fairies and faeries, which is passed down in the ancient folklore of the Delizhi Kingdom.
Ribo, who was intoxicated by the fascinating natural scenery on both sides of the road, is looking forward to as soon as possible to appreciate the very unique character style of Monach that His Royal Highness said.
The unique southern culture and fascinating natural scenery are the two most famous things in Monach that are widely praised by the world.
Ribo very much hopes to see as soon as possible, the beautifully decorated ox cart, the street performers happily dancing country dances, and the lively folk music, and the famous foamy liquor from far and near.
On the contrary, Miss Freila is a little tired of such a long journey. She has never regarded becoming a traveler and adventurer as her greatest wish in her life.
In the past, she was always more willing to stay in front of the dressing table in the luxuriously decorated bedroom and dress up to spend a good time, or sit on the swing stand in the back garden full of flowers to relax in the shade.
But at this moment, she had to curl up and lie on the narrow and stiff carriage seat. The swaying carriage did not make her feel comfortable at all.
What's more, she has been buried in the incomplete information and documents for two days, and this time, she and her "young" lover have tried their best but not for themselves.
In the eyes of Miss Freila, the life and death of that prince has nothing to do with them at all.
It seemed to her that it was not worth the loss to spend such a huge amount of effort for an irrelevant guy.
The only reason that made her use her brain for this plan was that her little lover was already involved in this muddy water.
And the reason why she was able to lie on the carriage with peace of mind at this moment was because she and her little lover had already spent two days cleaning up all the details.
If when they boarded the carriage, the whole plan was only a thin skeleton, then a perfect flesh-and-blood work has appeared in their hands at this moment.
Although I was a little unwilling to do this, the plan that was drawn up made Freila quite satisfied.
The plan is no less thorough and rigorous than the top "masterpieces" of the boss and the actor.
At this moment, in the carriage in front, there are four people sitting in the spacious carriage, which is slightly crowded.
The heavy curtains of the carriage were all pulled up, and a bright safety oil lamp with a glass cover provided light to the enclosed carriage.
The four people in the carriage each held a document, and their brows were all frowning tightly.
But the old magician and the princess frowned, obviously because they were falling into deep thought.
His Royal Highness and the mighty and powerful knight were obviously hesitant. In fact, this plan report, which they regarded as extremely evil, challenged their loyalty to morality and justice.
After a while, the stubborn and willful princess first sighed heavily and said: "In my opinion, this strategy does have great hopes of success, but this document only needs to be disclosed. On the paper, our name will probably be associated with the devil."
The Foster knight nodded repeatedly, apparently he completely agreed with Her Royal Highness.
"It seems that we have to sign a contract with those demons to sell their souls to them in exchange for their evil aid. I hope that the spirit of the benevolent Father God can forgive me, at least arrange for me to be in **** not too deep Position." His Royal Highness said with a heavy sigh.
"Your Highness, have you already figured out how to persuade Grand Duke Foss? Convincing him is definitely the key to the success or failure of this plan, and you should be very clear about the character of Grand Duke Foss. His stubborn temperament is so stubborn. Famous," said the brave knight.
"In my opinion, this is not very difficult. Maybe as long as you show the document in our hands to the Grand Duke, I am afraid he will stand with us. After all, we have already obtained the devil’s Support." The princess said disapprovingly.
What she said was originally just a joke, but she did not expect that the old magician who had never said a word just now suddenly interrupted and said: "There is nothing wrong with what the princess said. He is too strong, but he is careful and cautious."
"From all the signs in the past, Duke Foss is a person who values strength very much. Although he is full of disgust with the Kane family and Duke Bashmon in his heart, he makes him openly match these two strengths. People who surpass him are enemies, I am afraid he may not agree."
"But once he saw this plan, the situation was completely different. If my prediction didn’t go wrong, the grand prince must have been secretly hoping that bad luck would fall on his hated enemies, and He may not particularly care about whether the power that brings bad luck comes from the devil."
No one will refute the words of this old magician who can see through the future. This old man is not only their think tank, but also a beacon for the way forward.
"Let the devil convince Grand Duke Foss. Anyway, those Francis have proved that trading with the devil is a very pleasant thing. Let the Grand Duke also enjoy this pleasure." His Royal Highness Said leisurely, he gently closed the stack of documents in his hand
When the scorching sun rose above the head, the convoy guarded by a team of cavalry finally drove into the city.
Similar to most of the towns and cities seen along Ribo, Monach is also full of a simple and peaceful beauty.
A towering city wall completely surrounds the whole city, and the heavy city gate is open. The huge gate is like a deep tunnel.
This huge city wall is obviously a semi-natural and semi-man-made masterpiece. The peeling of the roots of the wall reveals the true color of the granite layer, and the bricks piled up on the top of the wall are not so much used to increase defense, but also Rather, it is to make the soldiers feel more flat and comfortable to stand and walk on.
Like most towns, the ground of Monach Street is also paved with cobblestones, but the spacious main road in the center is not available in other towns. The spacious and flat streets and the streets are built on both sides. Ruibo feels extremely comfortable in the shops.
This is the breath of a big city, a feeling he knows and understands.
Like other big cities, there are many pedestrians on both sides of the street. These pedestrians are either strolling leisurely on the street or staying between the shops.
The traffic on the road in the center is also crowded. The cavalry team can only prevent the horse-drawn carriages from being crowded, but there is no way to speed up the pace of the convoy.
Similar to other big cities that Ruibo has seen, magnificent buildings can be seen everywhere. These buildings all have a long history. They seem to be telling the glory of the past. years.
The most famous among all the magnificent buildings is undoubtedly the St. Pantai Cathedral. This ancient church built four centuries ago is full of decorations and carvings from before the fourth century.
On the three-hundred-meter square in front of this church, you can see devout believers listening to the bells of the church at all times.
The bells that seem so far away from heaven, and the chants of the melodious and graceful choir, make this crowded square seem to be bathed in the glory of the ancient sacred place.
Continuing along the spacious street, when Ribo saw the long-famous art gallery, he seemed quite excited, if not because they were rushing to meet the majestic Archduke Foss, I am afraid he has already jumped out of the carriage to appreciate the masterpieces of many painters that marked the peak of Terry to the most glorious painting era.
Here is the collection of the most wonderful works of the most outstanding painters of that era. The names of Holbein, Grünewald, Durer, Kouranach, etc. make this city always Remembered by the world.
At the end of this street is the Town Hall Square, but the Lord Foss that they are going to visit rarely appears in the office of the Town Hall.
The place where he works and meets guests is always the huge and old castle built on the hillside.
The old castle is not far from the city hall. On the right side of the city hall square, there is a fork road that extends diagonally upwards. The fork road looks only two or three kilometers long. At the end of the road is the old castle. .
The carriage slowly drove up a low **** under the **** of the cavalry, and finally stopped on the small round square in front of the castle.
This small round square is full of exotic charm. In the center of the square, a flowerbed was built. The flowerbeds are filled with flowers that bloom in all seasons. At this moment, hyacinths, tulips, calceolaria, strelitzia and the like are in summer The blooming varieties are exuding beauty and fragrance to their heart's content.
This old castle has a door that doesn't match the huge volume and magnificence.
The dark black seems to be a long and tall gate made of cast iron. On both sides of the gate stood two knights in bright armor. They stood there holding a halberd and looked calm and dignified.
At the narrow doorway that only allowed two people to walk side by side, stood a mighty old man. His hair was a little gray. A fluffy beard added a bit of majesty to him. He wore Wearing a gorgeous broad-brimmed robe, on the robe is embroidered with intricate patterns with a strong Thor color.
Wearing a long sword on the waist of the old man, the hilt of the long sword was almost inlaid with colorful gems, especially the ruby at the top of the hilt, which looked so big and dazzling.
The same old man's body is full of jewels. On each of his fingers, he wears a ring of a different shape, and a necklace made of diamonds and rubies hangs from his neck.
Although the decoration on the old man's body is extremely boastful, what Ruibo saw at first glance was not the dazzling and luxuriousness of these jewels.
It is the meaning of each ring. Some of these rings should be worn by the emperor of the Thor Empire, some are tokens of a family in the Kingdom of France, and some are embellished with meaning The coat of arms of the powerful family of the Thunder Kingdom.
As for the necklace, Ribo secretly guessed that it might be the treasure of the Otire royal family that was annexed by the kingdom of Drizhi. Because on the pendant of that string of necklaces are engraved with the royal family's logo, and the luxurious style that shows off is exactly the style of the Kingdom of Ottire.
The old man greeted him with a smile, and he embraced Prince Henry warmly and even rudely.
However, Ribo felt a hint of indifference from the enthusiasm.
"His Royal Highness, how do you have the opportunity to visit Monach? I heard that you successfully conquered Franck and brought back abundant benefits for our Derry Kingdom." The grand prince said boldly, even Did not glance at Ruibo.
Ribo was not surprised at this pretentious contempt. The Earl Robert had also shown the same arrogance and contempt for everything in Sorthburg.
These "strong" characters seem to have exactly the same characteristics.
For the envoys of the Kingdom of France, the great prince may be able to show contempt, but for the princess of the Kingdom of England, he never dare to be unreasonable. This mighty great prince is politely on the back of Princess Mary Kissed on it.
Similarly, his strength and arrogance are absolutely impossible to show in front of the commander of the Knights of the Storm, and he dare not arrogantly despise a magician. It is impossible for any sensible person to deliberately offend these masters. An extraordinary person with a magical and unique power.
Under the enthusiasm of the rugged and heroic Grand Duke, everyone entered the ancient castle.
In the hall, the servants and attendants all stood there respectfully, which reminded Ribo of the military inspection ceremony.
Seeing this situation, he finally understands why when Eckert mentioned the customs and traditions of the Kingdom of Derry, he once said that the nobles of Derry were not so much the masters of their own family and manor. , It would be more appropriate to say that the king came.
The long line of attendants followed, which was not unfamiliar to Ribo, but if all this happened in the house, it would make him feel quite strange and funny.
However, seeing the calmness of the prince and princess, Ruibo calmed down, and he even leisurely admired this ancient castle full of rich charm.
It's quite different from the French aristocracy's preference for huge and empty rooms. In Ruibo's opinion, Delizhiren is obviously more concerned about the number of rooms.
This huge castle seems to have been cut into countless small pieces. There are countless rooms here, but each room is not very big, and the layout and decoration are not luxurious.
However, Delizhiren obviously saved all the gold coins used to decorate the room to buy art. On the corridors of this castle, in every room, Ruibo can see the majestic A large collection of artworks by the owner.
The famous paintings hung on the walls and the sculptures placed in the corners, from the works of Derry to the late Middle Ages, to the fashionable styles in recent years, almost every one of Derry’s kingdom can be found here With the painting and sculpture styles of the times, here is like an art exhibition hall.
After the diligent host led the guests from afar to visit every corner of this castle, he took everyone to his favorite lounge.
Here is also his treasure chest, but it is completely different from Mr. Hyde's treasure chest. The theme here is very clear.
The Grand Duke of Foss is obviously a lover of rural landscapes, and the painter he admires most is undoubtedly Passon, a master who is good at depicting landscapes.
The surroundings of this spacious lounge are filled with Passon’s works, and most of the themes are lakes, which are full of melancholy, blue-green water waves and lake landscape paintings, which makes Ruibo seem to be able to feel To the emotion hidden on the other side by this majestic grand prince.
In addition to Passon’s famous paintings, another collection theme here is the various armors and weapons.
The slender and flexible thin thorn sword, the narrow and sharp two-handed long sword, and the side is covered with mysterious patterns. Only Thor's skilled craftsmen can make the famous Thor's machete.
In the corner of the room, there are also three sets of beautifully decorated armors covered with fine carvings. These armors are obviously made by the master.
"Everything here is so perfect." His Royal Highness praised.
Hearing such praise, the grand prince’s face was full of smiles, and he sighed: “Everything here is my collection for decades. Maybe some people think that landscape paintings and swords and armors are placed together. Out of place."
Speaking of this, he saw at a glance that Princess Xia was gently holding up a long sword. The Grand Duke knew everything in his collection. He immediately said: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Xia, Are you very interested in this work by Henry Vaughan? I can give it to you."
"Oh-no, you are misunderstood, Grand Duke Foss, I just find it interesting, because I also have a wonderful work by Henry Vaughan." The princess said.
Speaking of the princess, the princess took out the thin thorn sword that was wrapped around her waist by pressing her waist.
Obviously, the archduke is indeed a fanatic who is obsessed with weapons. He looked at the tough and extremely flexible thin thorn sword, and his eyes flashed golden light.
"This is really wonderful. In my opinion, this is undoubtedly one of Henry Vaughan's most perfect works." The Grand Duke exclaimed.
"Perhaps this is indeed Henry Vaughan’s most perfect masterpiece, but I would rather have a Thor’s machete, because I have seen my father use the one gifted to him by the Emperor of Thor. The machete cut into two long swords made by several well-known weapon makers in the Kingdom including Henry Vaughan." The princess said as she drew out the bend that was placed aside. Knife.
"It is undeniable that the sharpness of the Derry's sword cannot be compared with the Thor's scimitar, but the Thor's machete is obviously not strong enough, and they cannot be bent arbitrarily like the swords made by the Derry's craftsman. . "The grand prince obviously didn't want to hear criticism of Derry Zhi Sword.
"But you have to admit that holding a Thor's scimitar in your hand will dominate the duel." The princess continued.
"Your Royal Highness, you seem to have forgotten the existence of magical blades, and the machete of the Thor people seems to have nothing to do with magic blessing." The grand prince said with a smile.
"Earl Meding, in your opinion, which weapon is more powerful?" The princess led the conversation to Ribo, who was always silent.
Ribo shrugged and said: "Your Royal Highness, you should be very clear. For me, whether a weapon is useful is much more important than the material and manufacturing process used to build it. A three-inch long flying knife. , An arrow with the thickness of the tail finger is better than your thin thorn sword and Thor's sword."
These remarks obviously did not satisfy the grand prince who loves swords. He said contemptuously: "The loss of flying knives and arrows may be a terrible threat to an ordinary soldier, but to a knight it is simply inconspicuous. Toys."
The prince suddenly interrupted the words of the Grand Duke. He smiled and said to Ribo: "Earl Meding, Monach is the center of our famous weaponry in the kingdom of Drizhi, Drizhi Most of the famous craftsmen in the Kingdom were born here, and Mr. Henry Vaughan is one of the best. You have not always had your own unique understanding of weapons, and you have not always wanted to have a weapon that suits you. A good opportunity is right in front of you. The craftsmen who worked for Archduke Foss are all great people. Why don't you ask your attendants to take you to meet those craftsmen? By the way, let them build one or two weapons for you."
As for the suggestion of His Royal Highness, Ribo was quite conscious of it. Obviously, with him as a foreigner next to him, the Grand Duke Foss would never be willing to talk about anything important.
Seeing Ribo walking out of the room, the Grand Duke Foss snorted disapprovingly and said, "Could it be that the Kingdom of France has been unable to find a suitable envoy, and a little boy must take up this position." /
Speaking, he turned his head and asked his Royal Highness: "I have been very surprised from just now, when did your Royal Highness become so humble. I noticed that you have been addressing the young man in honorifics. I can hardly imagine what kind of posture you will stand in front of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of France."
Prince Henry didn’t take any of the aggressive words of the majestic grand prince. In fact, when he saw that the grand prince carried almost all the rings and jewels that showed his power, he already guessed it. The news of his father's death has already reached this remote state.
"Grand Duke Foss, I remember a philosopher once said that a wise man is good at using appearances to confuse others, and will not be confused by other people’s appearances."
Seeing a trace of confusion in the grand prince’s expression, the prince continued: "I have seen many people who don’t put that young man in their eyes like your Excellency, but what I have seen is even more What’s more, those people didn’t end up losing their lives in the hands of that young man, or they were full of fear for him."
"Among those who lost their lives, there was not only an earl, two magicians, but also a person whose name must be well understood by you, that is, the famous fallen paladin in the Kingdom of France. Those who betrayed the Paladins and joined the camp of Prince Phillips."
Hearing these words, the grand prince showed an unbelievable look. He was stunned for a while before saying: "This is impossible. The person who can kill the fallen paladin may be except for Foss by your side. Only Brett is the only Baron."
"This is what I saw with my own eyes, and Foster once fought against the bodyguard next to the boy because of a misunderstanding. If it weren’t for the power of Master Ogg, I’m afraid we would have died there. The boy and his bodyguard joined forces under the attack."
Said that the prince took out a document from his arms and handed it to the hands of Grand Duke Foss: "It records most of the things about the boy, some of which are speculations by me and Master Ogg. Others are widely circulated news by Frank."
The grand prince took the document blankly. He glanced at His Royal Highness stubbornly. He felt more and more puzzled. He didn't know why His Royal Highness was always involved in the topic about the boy. superior.
The doubt and dazedness disrupted his original plan, and the grand prince focused his attention on the thin document in his hand.
The beginning of the file gave him a sudden surprise, because at the top of the file, it was shockingly written about the profession that the humble boy had just now.
The lord of the Southern Territory of France, the controller of Surthbourg, this title may not be a big deal to the Grand Duke, but the title of the magician that follows makes this person who thinks he is strong also feels Surprised, what's more, there is another profession under the magician that makes him even more shocking-assassin.
Grand Duke Firth raised his head abruptly and he stared at Prince Henry.
"No doubts and doubts, if you have extra courage, you can try to challenge him, but I have to remind you, when you see that guy disappeared out of thin air in front of you, don’t feel Panic, but also to be alert at all times, maybe he is hidden behind you." The princess said indifferently.
But these words obviously shocked the majestic Grand Duke.
"A invisible assassin? A magician with melee combat and superb martial skills?" The archduke clearly understood what kind of character he was contempt of just now. If there is anything that can be used to describe such a guy, I'm afraid "Reaper" would be the most suitable choice.
"Grand Duke Foss, I hope you will read all of this document before you ask us questions." The stubborn princess said leisurely, but she knew very well that she waited until the Grand Duke Foss finished reading the document, her brother Another document that even more shocked the majestic Grand Duke would be squeezed into his hands.
The archduke lowered his head obediently as if he was hypnotized. He read the document carefully. At this moment, the original contempt and contempt have long since disappeared. After all, an invisible assassin Just being by his side just now, how could this make him feel at ease.
The more you read down, the more the Archduke feels frightened. Everything recorded in this document is full of **** cunning and shameless conspiracy.
This document outlines a thrilling and fierce battle scene with simple pen and ink, but this is a fighting method that is not familiar to him as a brave soldier.
To tell the truth, this majestic grand prince is willing to fight the enemy in blood on the real battlefield, and does not want to be involved in such despicable and brutal disputes.
After reading this document, Grand Duke Foss stabilized his mind and returned the document to Prince Henry, who was about to ask His Royal Highness about his intentions.
The Grand Duke was surprised that His Royal Highness was already standing there quietly holding another document.
"Grand Duke Foss, you must have known the news of my father's death, and I can even guess that you have already responded to it, but can you see before you make up your mind and implement your own plan? A glance at our plan." The prince said slowly.
Grand Duke Foss obviously could also feel the strange and solemn atmosphere emanating from His Royal Highness, and he subconsciously accepted the other thick document.
Open the file carefully, as if holding it in the hands of the Grand Duke, it will release the legendary doom box of disaster and horror.
However, when Archduke Foss really set his sights on the document, he was finally convinced that this was the box of bad luck, and what was hidden in the box was undoubtedly the devil who was full of evil and brought disaster to the world.
While watching, the majestic Grand Duke was sweating coldly. Although it was midsummer at the moment, Grand Duke Foss felt a chilly air go straight into his heart.
"Is this the plan that the Francisans came up with?" the majestic grand prince gasped.
"In your opinion, how likely is this plan to succeed?" Prince Henry asked.
"I have to admit that this is the most thorough and perfect plan I have ever seen. I can hardly imagine what can cause it to fail." The archduke hesitantly said: "However, this The plan is too evil. Looking at the plan, I suddenly felt that we may be borrowing power and wisdom from the devil. Do you think, your Royal Highness, this devil may also destroy us."
As for the Grand Duke’s doubts, the prince did not refute, in fact, this was also something he was deeply worried about.
"Grand Duke Foss, I can only guarantee that these devils with super wisdom from the Kingdom of Francis, at least before they return to their homeland, will not cause harm to us, another thing I can guarantee The thing is, these terrifying demons will never serve the enemies in front of me, because these demons also have enemies that need to be dealt with, and their enemies have formed an unbreakable alliance with our enemies at this moment." Prince Henry said .
"I don't think there is any alliance that can bind the two sides of the alliance forever. How confident, your Royal Highness, do you think that the alliance of the other party is unbreakable, and the demons from the Kingdom of France will not be bought?" Grand Duke Foss said disapprovingly.
"The reason why I have such confidence is that the alliance that binds the enemy tightly together is too strong. They made a deal, and this deal made it absolutely impossible for both of them to betray the covenant. There are also powerful demons behind the transaction."
Seeing that majestic Grand Duke showed a puzzled look, His Royal Highness hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell this ally about the bloodthirsty power to this ally who must do his best to fight for it.
"Grand Duke Foss, I just said that the boy and his bodyguard once joined forces and killed the fallen Paladin Serot, but you must never imagine that we are in Serot. What kind of power do you see in his body."
The prince stared at the Grand Duke closely, making the latter nervous.
"Isn't it the power of a paladin?" Grand Duke Foss was obviously not as rude and reckless as his appearance revealed, he seemed to have guessed something.
"It's a bloodthirsty power." The prince said solemnly.
Although he had a premonition, the grand prince was still taken aback. He looked at Prince Henry in horror. After all, anyone in Trizhi knew very well that the bloodthirsty power had leaked to Francis. What does this mean for people.
Showing a panic and uneasy look, the grand prince's eyes wandered, and suddenly, he seemed to be taken aback, and then the confusion and hesitation in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"His Royal Highness is most suspicious, I'm afraid Duke Bassemong." Duke Foss lowered his voice and said, his expression has disappeared from the forward arrogance and shock when he heard the series of news.
The change of Archduke Firth also surprised Prince Henry, but the calm and sincere tone of the Archduke at this moment made him very pleased, because it obviously means that Archduke Firth has begun to consider accepting him, and Form an alliance with him.
"I must confess that when I discovered this shocking secret, the first thing I thought of was Grand Duke Bashmon. If there was anyone in the Kingdom of Drizhi, he would not hesitate to take the power of bloodthirsty As a bargaining chip, it must be the Grand Duke of Bashmon." Prince Henry said firmly.
"Yes, the nobles of the Kingdom of Terry, who never received harsh training when they were young, and the experience of our childhood made us full of infinite reverence and longing for bloodthirsty and strong wind. Only Bashmon Grand Duke, because of his experiences back then, he has been extremely dissatisfied with the heavy military color that is filled with the kingdoms of Derry and Kingdom. I have no doubt that he will act so crazy."
Speaking of this, Grand Duke Foss hesitated for a moment. He looked into Prince Henry’s eyes and slowly said: "His Royal Highness, have you ever imagined telling this news to other people and letting everyone join forces to deal with Bashmon? Duke, this may be better than fighting alone at the moment."
"Grand Duke, I can guess why you suggested this. I think another gentleman had visited you before, and he must have brought the news of my father's death. I think he also persuaded you to join him. 'S camp."
"But I believe that with the wisdom and experience of the Grand Duke, it will be easy to see how to choose is best for you. The gentleman who persuaded you may not only be your ally, and I have already set my destiny at this moment. In your hands."
"Similarly, I have no way of knowing how much benefit the gentleman promised you, but since he has other allies, you will inevitably share the fruitful results you have achieved with others, and you have no way of knowing. Is the promise given to you by Mr. Yi just an illusory bubble? Have you forgotten the Kane family’s deception of your ancestors back then?"
"All of this, presumably wise, you have also considered it over and over again, so the reason why you are more willing to focus on that gentleman must be his strength, which is much stronger than me at the moment. "
Speaking of this, the prince gently pointed to the document pinched in the hands of the Grand Duke.
"Although I have never had the strength that I really have in my hands, the Knights of the Storm who are loyal to me are currently surrounded by many, and I cannot use this most convincing power at all. But in terms of wisdom, I dare I guarantee that in the entire Delizhi Kingdom, apart from the Grand Duke of Bashmun, there is no second person to be my opponent."
"Not only do I have Master Ogg, a well-known wise man in the Drizhi Kingdom, but I also signed a contract with the devil to borrow from them the evil and powerful wisdom."
"You should already have an understanding of their wisdom. As long as you follow this plan, Grand Duke Bashmon will inevitably fall into isolation. His original greatest advantage is the support of the people. Once he loses this advantage, The Grand Duke of Bashmon was just the one with the greatest power among the princes."
"Someone betrays bloodthirsty secrets. Once they are leaked out, they may not necessarily be restrained by Grand Duke Bashmon. From this plan full of evil and wisdom, can't you see that it is really a lie? It couldn’t be easier, but it’s extremely difficult to be accepted by others."
Speaking of this, Prince Henry paused for a moment. He pretended to hesitate for a moment and then said in a low voice, "What's more, besides the evil wisdom, those demons also possess other chilling abilities. . You must know that even the great Francis V, the supreme king who almost took the entire world into his bag, was eventually taken away by a sharp blade from the darkness."
"And those demons are best at accomplishing this kind of work. Perhaps the Grand Duke Bashmon, who is guarded by many magicians, can be safe, and perhaps the Kane family, who has always been cautious and has many descendants, does not worry about heirs. Was completely annihilated. Perhaps he possesses extraordinary power. Baron Wald, who possesses the strongest bloodthirsty power, can gain peace with his own power."
"However, other people probably don't have such tight guards and powerful forces. Because of this, only the three real opponents are in my eyes, and the others have never been in my eyes. "
"Besides, this trip to the Kingdom of France also brought me a lot of support. Apart from the group of demons who entrenched in the south of France, I was fortunate enough to get acquainted with Her Royal Highness Princess Mary. "
Prince Henry looked at the distant room, where the Grand Duke prepared for the princess from the island country.
"Although I do not intend to use foreign forces to allow foreign troops to set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Terry, the rich island country is still one of my most reliable aid."
"Just like the time when the Great Pasimonda used a large sum of money to make the mercenaries of the Kingdom of Ilei work for him, I can also legitimately get the help of the mercenaries, and the isolated island country undoubtedly possesses the most useful One of his arms."
"In addition, those demons from the Kingdom of France have a very close relationship with your powerful neighbor, the Kingdom of Yilei on the other side of the mountains. As long as you ask them to come forward, the Grand Duke of Bashimeng will not be able to take care of Yilei. The kingdom hired one soldier and one soldier."
"In addition, there is another condition that is crucial to victory. In the Kingdom of Delizhi, apart from Duke Bashmon, only I have it."
"That is the sufficient wealth that can sustain until the end of the civil strife. The Grand Duke of Bassam has prepared for this for thirty years, but I have a wealthy island country and sealed in **** in the hands of the devil. Gold coins in it."
"The most reassuring thing is that neither the kings of the island country nor the demons have the slightest interest in the land of the kingdom of Drizhi. What they want is only generous benefits."
The prince smiled and glanced at the thoughtful Grand Duke and continued: "Presumably the gentleman who visited you, not only did not show any real benefits, but also borrowed a lot of money from you. Among the states from Derry to the South, Monach, under your control, has the greatest wealth."
"However, if my understanding is not wrong, you may not be able to take out the huge'loan' proposed by the gentleman. Although Monach is rich, he does not have much money. Here is the kingdom of Drizhi He is the best craftsman at best, but he lacks sharp-minded businessmen."
"I believe that you can easily come up with weapons and armor sufficient to arm a corps, but you may not be able to pay pensions for the soldiers who died for you. And the gentleman who visited you before me , I must have already counted the allowances and rewards given to his soldiers on your head."
Looking at Archduke Firth’s frowning brows, Prince Henry knew that he had clearly guessed without error. He knew very well that the Archduke’s mind had been shaken at this moment, and all he needed to do was to put more effort into it. That's it.
The prince leisurely picked up a long sword and swung it lightly, the dignified warfare in the cold light.
"I’m afraid I’m the person who doesn’t need to worry about money at this moment, except for Grand Duke Bashmon. What I need you to provide is what you have the most. I only need you to provide weapons. And armor to arm an indestructible corps. I am even willing to pay you war allowances and pensions to your soldiers."
Obviously, this condition touched the vacillating Grand Duke Foss. He said with a straight face and solemnly: "His Royal Highness, obviously I can't refuse the powerful temptation of the conditions you listed at all. Same I I definitely don’t want to be the target of the devil.
