Chapter 26(2/4)
In Ribo's view, Mr. Hyde has undoubtedly the most advanced grasp of power.
Having a killer king like Kelle, but Mr. Hyde has always liked to rely on his brain to solve problems.
If he could rely on strategies to solve the problem, Mr. Hyde would never use force.
Such strategies and actions made Rebbo extremely admire, and the teachings Mr. Hyde gave him were also kept in mind.
Just like this time, Mr. Lomel was powerful and cunning, and he also had a killer who could compete with Kelle.
But Mr. Lomel's ultimate failure was completely the case, although there were many reasons for the failure, such as the betrayal of allies and the full assistance of the Magic Society.
However, the most fundamental reason is that his foundation has been bribed by Mr. Hyde.
No one knows better than Rebbo, and it's all about how much it costs Mr. Hyde.
A total of 1.5 million gold coins were thrown into this bottomless abyss, an amazingly large number, and Mr. Hyde's preparations were obviously far beyond those.
There was still one million gold coins left in Eckert's hand and it had not been used, and this result was already beyond their expectations.
It can only be described as smooth sailing. Because of this, in Rebbo's view, when Eckert returned to Frank, the grand ceremony that he received was like welcoming the return of a hero was not an exaggeration.
He can indeed be called a hero, because it was he who made everyone win the battle.
And buying is undoubtedly the only method he used.
Ruibo also remembers one thing.
Eckert once told him, "As long as the price is enough and the right method is added, there are absolutely no people in this world that cannot be bought."
Can those two magicians also be bought? At this moment, Ribo's mind was full of this problem.
"I'd love to have Vach and Nile Erre join the research ranks so that they can at least do something and avoid calculating me all day long." Ribo finally said, although the answer was still not very certain, he was already planning to take the risk.
"However, I have to think about the words, the most important thing is not to let them know the existence of metal living organisms. Another troublesome question is how to convince them that I still have irreplaceable value, how to keep them interested in me, and not break the bridges, and attack me now." Ruibo sighed and said.
His brain started to work quickly.

At this moment, in the secret room under the tower, the Queen was in close negotiations with her think tank Marquis Keane.
His Majesty the Queen had little concealment from Marquis Keane, including how she discussed with Rebow to deal with Vach and Nellerere, and that Rebow gave her the advice, and His Majesty the Queen spoke frankly to Marquis Keane.
The only thing that was hidden was the shameful agreement, which was the secret between her and Ribo.
"Marquis Keen, you are the one I respect most. Neither I nor Your Majesty have ever regarded you as a minister. You are the most loyal friend in our eyes and the commander who is resourceful to give us guidance." His Majesty the Queen said respectfully: "I hope you can give me further guidance and tell me how to move forward in the next step without any silence."
Marquis Keane did not feel flattered because of His Majesty's obedience. In fact, all his wisdom was used to deal with the troubles in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the little heir of Sethborough will think of dealing with Vach and Nile'erre's strategy. This does not require my poor brain. In my opinion, Earl Medin's mastery of strategy is far above me."
"So I can plan for you and His Majesty the King. Now, with more time for you to prepare, the visit of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Ing will undoubtedly greatly delay the time when His Highness Prince Phillips attacks."
"And the alliance between Inger and Francis, coupled with the covenant between us and Delizhi, Prince Phillips must have been unable to make a big fuss about the incompetence of you or His Majesty the King. His repeated mistakes on the issue of the heirs of Sethborough have long since disappeared with the death of the Earl of Robert and the establishment of the meeting. In fact, Sethborough is no longer our enemy, but one of our most determined allies."
"In this case, His Highness the Prince will definitely take advantage of His Majesty's unconsciousness to gradually erode the power in His Majesty's hands. Although His Majesty's reign as the king is nominally reasonable, there will always be doubts about it. Prince Phillips only needs a false promise, promising that when His Majesty the King recovers his consciousness, he will immediately give up his power. I think those in the Elder House may warmly welcome his arrival." Marquis Keane analyzed the situation in detail in detail.
His words made the queen worried, and she said frowningly: "I am worried about this matter. I can't see any blood in the slightest. Perhaps it is because of this reason that Prince Phillips has not made any movement recently."
"My Majesty, if you are willing to listen to me, the best way now is to retreat temporarily and to make a comeback in the future if the time is right."
"At this moment, you should use this last advantageous time to make sufficient preparations, but not to defend against His Highness the Prince's attack, but to retreat and protect yourself."
"The visit of King England was undoubtedly an opportunity, and Serthborg was a powerful supporter. The most advantageous thing was that Mr. Eckert spent a huge price to buy a prosperous land without being controlled and influenced by Prince Phillips."
"Norman Beach is not far away from here, and all the cities along the way are not barren, and they were originally controlled by Mr. Lomel, and both His Majesty the King and the Prince had little influence there."
"There is another advantageous aspect of that land, which is backed by Ing, a closed island country. If the situation is not good, it will be the safest and safest approach to Ing."
"Even if Prince Phillips could take out one million and a half million gold coins, he did not have a letter signed by the Holy See and Deli Kingdom in his hand."
"And compared to Prince Phillips' fief Bireth, Norman Beach is much closer to the capital. It only takes one day and one night to reach the whip." Marquis Keane said.
The Queen's words made the Queen quite moved, but she was always worried about gains and losses, fearing that once she gave up her power, the power would no longer belong to her.
Marquis Keane clearly understood the worries in His Majesty's heart, and he whispered: "My Majesty, you have always seen only vortexes and storms hidden beside you and His Majesty the King, and the biggest huge wave is Prince Phillips who is eyeing him."
"But you never knew that Prince Phillips was not calm, and in a sense, he was in a deeper and larger center of the vortex."
"The greatest regret of His Majesty the King is that there is no suitable crown prince, but this can also be considered as an advantage, because it is much better to have a bunch of heirs who are indifferent and have no ability."
"In my opinion, this is definitely Prince Phillips's most deadly weakness. Once he sits on the throne of the king, these fatal injuries will suddenly erupt."
"Prince Phillips relies on his prestige and charm to suppress the dissatisfaction around him, but there are still many people who are dissatisfied with being excluded. Sel's is one of them. In a sense, it is not a good thing for him to defect from the Paladins. His frustration has caused many knights who were originally ready to move to lose their confidence."
"In addition, the reason why Prince Phillips is able to maintain his loyalty is also because he has not yet sat on the throne of the king."
"I believe that all the subordinates who worked hard for him believed that the promises, reputation, status, power and money he made would be obtained at the moment when the prince ascended the throne."
"But is it going to be like that?"
"The reason why the group of people in the Elder House supports Prince Phillips is because they hope to gain some benefits from the prince ascending the throne. There are so many 'members' waiting there around the prince, and the meager merits are not enough for them to be distributed."
"What's more, behind the prince are his greedy and incompetent sons. In order to gain a foothold and replace their father's position, they each have a group of subordinates."
"Because of this, I have said before that after His Highness the Prince ascended the throne, what is inevitable is a power dispute and self-deprecation. And the treasury that had been hollowed out by His Highness is not enough to allow His Highness to reward his important officials."
"Even if the prince himself does not want to, someone will inevitably extend his hands to those noble territories, and the first one is undoubtedly Serthburgh."
"But, Your Majesty, you should be very clear about what a brilliant and powerful figure the little heir of Serthborg and his guardian Lord Hyde."
"Although His Highness the Prince is smart and powerful, and although he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, no matter how wise and powerful he is, he may not be able to match His Majesty Francis V. His Majesty Fifth was still robbed of his glorious and immortal life by a sharp dagger from the dark corner."
"It can be predicted that once the Prince and Serthborg clashed, it would be the beginning of a series of deaths and assassinations. The decisions of the Southerners to do things will be fully visible in this battle against Mr. Lomel."
"At that time, terror will inevitably cover the entire capital, and you who can stop all this will inevitably be treated as a savior." Marquis Keane said with clarity.
Her Majesty nodded repeatedly by the elderly think tank's words. She thought that her only strength was that she could listen to the correct opinions.
The prerequisite for listening to opinions is to be able to see the other person's wisdom and character clearly. All of this is knowledge gained from the books left by Francis III.
It was the Majesty who discovered the great figure of Kaimildit, and it was also because of him that the Kingdom of Francis gradually flourished.
"Marte Keen, please tell me what I should do now." The queen said firmly.
"What I am good at is analyzing the overall situation. Specific arrangement and planning are not my specialty. You have the most suitable helper. Whether it is the little heir of Sethborough or the Mr. Eckert, you can make a perfect plan."
"The only practical suggestion I can make is to temporarily evacuate the little heir of Sethburg from the eyes of everyone, and he is the most valuable asset to you."
"As far as I know, the Prince of Delizhi has made a request to return home as soon as possible. He has arrived here thousands of miles away. If he goes in a hurry, it doesn't make sense."
"This prince went through countless hardships when he came down. It is necessary to publicize it with great fanfare when he returned. A solemn escort team is absolutely indispensable. In order to make the prince lose his guard against you, it seems to me that it is best to send elite fellow Paladins to travel."
"It is natural that the envoy who accompanied the prince, is inevitable. It is obviously the most appropriate to let the little heir of Sethborough take on this responsibility. Although it may be the second Kaimildit's reputation will bring him some danger, it is better than staying in the capital to face the ulterior motives of Vach and Nileere."
"I think the little heir of Serthburgh will have the ability to protect himself. He has been born and died countless times, and has his own skills and can even compete with the Paladin. The fully armed Serul was unable to do anything about him. Even the assassin who killed the old commander died in his hands."
"What's more, his plan made Vach and Nile'reelere who were determined to endanger him, and in turn had to protect his safety. What could be better to resolve Vach and Nile'reelere's murderous intent than to put him in danger?"
The words of Marquis Keen made His Majesty suddenly enlightened, especially the last idea, which was definitely a gathering of wisdom and experience.
※※※
His Majesty the Queen did not know that at this moment, Rebec actually coincided with Marquis Keane.
Moreover, he saw more traces of bribery from Vach and Nile're's eager appearance.
The invitation message was sent by the Magician Andeli, who delivered the message to him through the omnipresent wind.
To Rebbo's surprise, Vach and Nileerre immediately responded.
In fact, just a moment after the magic was completed, a fire fell from the sky and landed on the lawn in front of the castle.
The palace magician Vach came out of the blazing flames.
The figure of the Chairman of the Magic Association also appeared on the lawn as the palace magician arrived at the top of the tower.
Vach and Nileere were obviously puzzled by the generosity of Masque's disciples.
All kinds of doubts jumped out of their hearts.
However, Ann Dili's explanation obviously eliminated their suspicion.
And when they saw the stargazing meter with their own eyes, the last trace of suspicion became a little bit indifferent.
"I want to know how Count Medin learned the secrets about this stargazing, and I want to know more about how you got the secrets about that invisible magic circle?" Nellerere asked with his deep sunken eyes, blinking.
Ruibo knew that this was a question that would inevitably be asked.
He had already thought of a countermeasure.
Ribo raised his right hand and lit the sapphire ring made of mysterious silver with a broken surface, saying, "In a villa in Batter Forest, I discovered the notebook left by the great magician Kaimildit."
"You should have heard that all the magicians who took out their notebooks were killed by the magic sealed on the notebooks by Kaimildit." Rebau said knowingly.
Vach and Nileere knew everything about Kemildit, so naturally there was no need for Rebó to remind him of this kind.
Nellere glanced at the seriously broken ring and said disapprovingly: "Your teacher gave you a ring that absorbs magic. I guess you rely on this thing to resist the terrible magic attack. The powerful spiritual power you have must also be related to the magic attack of Kemildit. You were not killed, but luckily inherited part of the power of the Great Magician. Could it be that the reason why you can know other secrets left by Kemildit is because you have the power inherited from Kemildit?"
Rebow was hoping that Nile Ere would make such a vision, and his misleading obviously worked.
"You are right, but I am not very clear about the specific reasons. You should have heard that I have lived here for a while, and His Majesty the Queen was generous and generous to lead me to visit here."
"I only remember one day, I was very eager to have new abilities, because before that I had just experienced a life-and-death crisis. If I could have strong strength like you, I would be able to escape danger."
