Chapter nine(1/2)
On the low roof, the dim candlelight, a spiral escalator leads to the second floor in the dark corner of the wall. The narrow windows penetrate into the light of morning light, and the thick beech platform exudes a feeling of time precipitation.
Prince Henride brought Rebeau to a corner, close to the backyard, and through the blinds of the window, you can see the delicate and compact garden, but full of thick green.
Just as Ribo was guessing the intention of His Royal Highness, he suddenly felt that the candlelight seemed extremely soft, and even had a hazy feeling.
Almost subconsciously, Rebow raised his alertness, and since he met Mr. Masque again, his understanding of the magical world has become increasingly profound.
As his cognition deepened, Ribo already knew that there were too many incredible powers in this world that could be borrowed by magicians.
"Earl Medin, now we can finally have a bold conversation. Everything here has been completely closed. Others can only see a few people in the chat." Prince Henride said with a smile.
"Master Og's power is amazing." Ribo exclaimed.
"I just added some illusion power to the foresighted magic that I am best at." The old magician said lightly.
Hearing this sentence, Ruibo's heart suddenly moved, and he asked carefully: "Can you gain new and more clever abilities by combining different forces in a perfect combination?"
The old magician secretly praised the rumored magical genius boy. He thought for a moment, worried about whether he would make this young man who was very likely to threaten the safety of the Delizhi Kingdom and continue to grow. After all, if the second great magician, Kaimildit, really appeared in the Kingdom of Francis, would be like a catastrophe for the Delizhi Kingdom.
However, at this critical moment before us, if this genius boy can have more powerful power, it will play an important role in His Royal Highness's victory over other opponents.
After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, the wise old man finally decided to give this ally he strived for more powerful power.
The old magician nodded and said, "I wonder if your teacher, Masquerade Masque, has told you that the magicians of the Kingdom of Francis and the Kingdom of Deli, following two completely different methods of cultivation. For the magicians of the Kingdom of Francis, focusing on research in a certain field is the choice of most people. As far as I know, among the six magicians in the Kingdom of Francis, except for the unknown Masquerade Feli, everyone else is the best master in their respective fields."
"Although highly capable magicians will study other categories of magic when their power and awareness of magic reach a certain level, the magicians in the Kingdom of Francis prefer to cooperate rather than thoroughly study unfamiliar magic."
"But the situation is completely different for us. Most of us will take into account one or two other fields of magic when we first learn magic. Take me for example, what I am good at is perception of the future, but I will also have some illusions."
"Although this method makes our growth more difficult and slow, it is also because of this reason that the magicians in the Delizhi Kingdom have many unique forces that are not known to other magicians. Some even have their own unique magic system, all of which are the result of the combination of magic in various fields."
"It is hard to say the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods of cultivation, but in my opinion, the path chosen by the magician from Deli to the Kingdom is obviously more suitable for your situation."
"Earl Medin, you are all gathered around you, are the elites among magicians, but you don't have the time and opportunity to stay by their side to learn and ask them for advice. What you are best at is wind magic. You have even mastered the resonance of wind just now when you first learned magic."
"What you are learning is alchemy. Your knowledge and keen brain give you talent in this area. What's more, in addition to magical power, you also have very outstanding martial arts. As far as I know, most of the enemies you have destroyed are killed by your daggers and arrows."
"I guess your teacher doesn't plan to limit you to a certain field, otherwise he will definitely ask another magician to temporarily take on the responsibility of guiding you. With his status and prestige, this is obviously a breeze."
"In addition, aren't you lucky enough to get his strongest weapon and extremely precious 'blood soul bead' from the Blood Demon? These two treasures are priceless treasures that are hard to find for magicians. Have you never thought of getting the extremely powerful power of the Blood Demon?"
The old magician's words made Ruibo heartbroken. All of this was something he had never thought of, but he vaguely felt that he was obviously a little out of place with other magicians. It turned out that there was such a way to pursue power and knowledge in the magic world.
However, Master Og's guidance also aroused his alertness, especially when the old magician mentioned the "Death Scythe" and "Blood Soul Bead" obtained from the Blood Demon, Ruibo frowned even more because he immediately thought that this wise old magician would definitely not mention this matter for no reason.
Is it necessary to rely on the powerful but ominous power in the future in the troubles that may arise?
Then this trouble is probably even greater and terrifying than he had originally imagined.
Although he thought so in his heart, Ribo remained silent. This was the result of Eckert's strict training at the beginning. Ribo never forgot what Eckert once told him, "The liar's inner world has been completely separated from his external appearance. The liar's expression can only change as needed, rather than be influenced by emotions."
Eckert's teachings made him remember, and Kelle's chilling training completely stripped his control of his body from his emotions.
However, his thoughtful gaze flashed by quickly did not escape the eyes of the prince and the experienced old magician. After all, they had never regarded the little heir of Sethborough in front of them as an ordinary teenager who was ignorant of the world.
The conversation finally officially began after Prince Henride made a straightforward approach to the topic. Listening to Prince Henride telling everything without any emotion, Ribo's brow gradually frowned.
"Your Highness, can you confirm that the power exerted by Sel's Ott and the knights in the cave are the unique secrets of the Delizhi Kingdom?" Ribo asked, "What did you confirm this? As far as I know, many magicians have powers that seem similar."
"Earl Medin, in regards to this matter, Master Og can definitely be sure that those people are exerting the power of "bloodthirst". Compared with other magical powers, the power of "bloodthirst" comes directly from monsters in another world. The Kingdom of Delizhi spent countless efforts to find a way to borrow the power of monsters in another world, and used this method to obtain two extremely powerful powers, "bloodthirst" and "brave wind".
"Don't you also have the ability to summon monsters in another world? You should be very clear that only the power borrowed from monsters in another world can be possessed by ordinary people."
"And any monster in another world will only respond to the request of this world once. Because of this, Prince Phillips would never have such power without the assistance of someone."
Regarding His Highness's explanation, Ruibo nodded slightly, and at the same time he was secretly happy in his heart, because he had learned about the monsters in another world from the mouth of His Highness.
The research on this aspect has always been the best at the Kingdom of Delizhi, which is the power they have gained after losing the lives of many magicians and extremely huge costs.
"Your Highness, you must have a person of suspicion in your mind. It is impossible for ordinary people to know the secrets about life and death of Deli," Ruibo said slowly as he stared at the prince.
"Yes, I have indeed had three suspects in my mind, among which Brut Hod Wald, the least suspicious, is Brut Hod Wald. As the commander of the Bloodthirsty Corps, he is an arrogant, unreasonable and irritable person, although his ambition is probably the strongest and obvious of all the suspects."
"But he has a deep hatred with Prince Phillips. The hatred between them is absolutely no less than the unsolvable hatred between your guardian Mr. Hyde and his old rival Mr. Lomel."
"And, because of Baron Wald's extremely bad temper, he has no strong supporters in the cabinet and the ministries. His power is the smallest of the three suspects. Except for the Bloodthirsty Corps in his hands, there are only two territories belonging to the Bloodthirsty Corps to obey his orders."
"But Deli has always had a habit of guarding the capital in the four corps near Palin, two of which obey the orders of the Bloodthirsty Corps, and the other two obey the orders of the Knights of the Wind."
"But Foster, who is the leader of the Knights of the Wind, is following me. According to the past rules, under this situation, the Bloodthirsty Corps will take over the other two territories. In this way, Palin must have been controlled by Baron Wald."
"In addition to Lord Wald, another person with a suspicion but less likely is Grand Duke Kane, perhaps it should be said to be the Kane family." When he said this, the prince frowned.
The princess next to her suddenly interrupted: "Although the suspicion of the Kane family is also relatively small, they are undoubtedly my brother's most troublesome enemy, because the Kane family definitely hopes that my brother will die as soon as possible, and they also have the power to inherit the throne."
Rebow has heard of this matter. When Eckert taught him the geography and history knowledge of various countries, he once said that the most unique thing about the Deli Kingdom is undoubtedly the unique two king system of the Deli Kingdom.
This strange system was originally inherited in the early days of the ancient Basilta Empire. It was this mutually restricted two king system that made the ancient empire gradually become stronger and eventually glorious for more than a thousand years.
"The Kane family lost their throne in the last civil strife, but they have always had great influence in the state of Prafya, Handenburg, and Anru. Although the Palin Kane family has never found supporters in the cabinet, their confidants are everywhere in the ministries."
"In addition to being the brother of the direct heir, Grand Duke Kane has the closest inheritance power. Although he is not the closest cousin, he has the priority inheritance right." said His Royal Highness the princess.
"Why, do you think Grand Duke Kane is second only to Lord Wald?" asked Rebow.
"In order to gain the power of bloodthirsty, the ancestors of the Kane family made great sacrifices. Unlike the Kingdom of Francis, we, the Delixes, are also very obsessed with tradition while pursuing fashion. Even in the Delixes, the Kane family can be regarded as a stubborn and conservative family."
"Everyone in this family is eyeing the lost throne, but compared with the throne, the bloodthirsty power is probably more valued by them. The Kane family even regards the Bloodthirsty Corps and the Wind Knights as their pride." His Highness said in a serious tone. Although he regards the Kane family as the most terrifying enemy, it is obvious that he has extraordinary respect for this stubborn family.
"The most likely person to secretly make a deal with Prince Phillips is the Grand Duke of Bashen I mentioned to you last night. If anyone in the Kingdom of Delizhi does not value the power of bloodthirsty and strong wind, then it must be the Grand Duke of Bashen."
"He was weak in his childhood and was still weak. Among the many nobles in the Deli Kingdom, he was probably the only one who was not proficient in martial arts and horsemanship."
"Because of this, Grand Duke Bashimeng seems to have always hated the tradition of Delizhi Kingdom relies on physical strength and martial arts to choose heirs. Although he has never openly challenged this long-standing tradition, he promoted many scholars and literati, allowing them to occupy many positions that only noble children with superb martial arts can have in the past."
"In the initial period, the Grand Duke of Bashimeng even attracted many opposition. If it weren't for the fact that the Bashimeng family firmly held control of Isnova, and his strategy made Isnova, which could only be considered a second-rate place, become the richest state in Deli, I'm afraid he had already been exiled to the northern mining area by the angry nobles."
"In addition, Grand Duke Bashimeng is probably the most unbounded by traditions and rules among all the people of Deli. In his eyes, everything is a resource that can be sold and exchanged."
"I can only hope that it is not the one who works with Prince Phillips. After all, he was once the person I admired and admired the most."
"Another reason is that Duke Bashimeng has the most powerful force among the three people. Most of the important officials in the cabinet are his confidants. In addition, the main positions of each department are firmly in his hands. He can even be easily supported and loved by the citizens of Palin."
"And the territory he owned Isnova has long become the richest land in the Delizhi Kingdom. It is like the south of the Kingdom of Francis. In addition to having huge wealth, it is also full of prosperity and vitality."
"Although Grand Duke Bashimeng himself is not a superb warrior, he even hates force, but has huge wealth. Isnova has a powerful army, and countless magicians are willing to serve him. Two of the four magicians owned by the Delizhi Kingdom are serving him."
"What is even more worrying is that Grand Duke Bashimeng spent decades to meet countless useful talents, some of whom have occupied important positions in the cabinet and various departments, while others have been mingled among the people."
"There are famous scholars and famous artists among these people, but what really worries me are some of the people with similar backgrounds as your guardian, Earl Medin."
"Originally, most people, including me, don't think that Grand Duke Bashimeng met these people at all, but now that I have seen the wisdom and strength of you and your wise guardian Lord Hyde, this has become one of the things that I worry most."
Rebe listened quietly to everything the prince said, and he felt more and more headaches. If the prince had not exaggerated the facts, it was obvious that they would face several gangsters who were as clever as Mr. Hyde.
Behind these difficult-to-treat monarchs, there is also a Grand Duke Bashen, who even Mr. Hyde himself is afraid.
What's more, compared with the past enemies, the opponent he needs to face this time seems very rich in terms of financial resources and wisdom.
There is no shortage of supporters, helpers, and supporters. How can an opponent with almost no weaknesses cope with this?
"Your Highness, you must have imagined various possibilities yourself. Can you tell me how you plan to deal with the current difficulties?" Ruibo asked.
"I do have some immature plans. The only thing that is beneficial to me now is that in the Kingdom of Delizhi, we do not pay the most attention to the purity of bloodline. A powerful person can ascend the throne under the support of everyone. If we do not have enough strength, even the first heir will be easily replaced by others."
"And now I have no power or power. Because of Foster's relationship, the Knights of the Wind can be said to be in my control, but compared with others, I have very few weights in my hand."
"Maybe before I resolve other competitors, I may not necessarily be in the field of vision of those opponents I worry most, which is my only advantage."
"Another advantage is that the power of the local wealthy families in the Delizhi Kingdom is very strong. Those who control those states and regions are never the chief officials appointed by the king, but the local princes. They have absolute power on the land they firmly control. The king is just a judge, not a person who can issue orders at will."
"Because of this, as long as there is a place that is willing to accept me, those who are eyeing me will have no way to do anything to me unless they send assassins."
"The only exception is that one of them intends to rely on force to deal with all other competitors and princes who are unwilling to support him. This means the beginning of another civil strife in the Delizhi Kingdom."
"Most of the people of Delizhi are full of fear and concern about civil strife. Because of this, almost everyone who provokes civil strife will lose the support and support of the people of Delizhi. For this reason, there has never been a precedent for finally ascending the throne because of civil strife in the history of the Kingdom of Delizhi."
Rebow had long heard of the famous civil strife in the Kingdom of Deli, and at the same time he had already learned a lot of knowledge about the political system of Deli, from Eckert.
At this moment, his mind started to work quickly. Although there was no guidance from Eckert, Rebow had already mastered the tricks of making plans and strategies that Eckert taught him.
He kept drawing circles on the table with his index finger, and at this moment he only hoped to have a pen and a piece of paper.
"Your Highness, if you were asked to choose a place to hide, what would you choose?" Ruibo asked.
Seeing the little heir of Sethburgh, the prince and the old magician finally made a huge rock that had always been hanging in their hearts fall to the ground.
Regarding this issue, the Prince of Delizhi discussed with his most awake knight and the old magician for a long time last night, because this would be the ultimate guarantee for his life to be saved.
The prince quickly said, "The best choice is to go to Monach. The reason for this is that almost all the territories in the north are shrouded in the sphere of influence of Grand Duke Kane and Grand Duke Baschmond, and it is too close to Palin, which may make those with ulterior motives feel threatened."
"Among the southern territories, Monach has a very large power, with rich resources and the most excellent iron ore. Because of this, Monach also gathers the most brilliant blacksmiths and weapon making technicians in the Delizhi Kingdom, which also means Monach has a very huge wealth."
"In addition, this wealthy territory in a corner of the south is directly separated from Yilei by a mountain range, and on its right side, it crosses a vast forest of deserted forests, which is the territory of the extremely huge Thor Empire. Whether it is retreating to Yilei or seeking the protection of His Majesty Thor, there is a very safe way out."
The prince said slowly, his expression seemed extremely serious.
"Are you sure that the local wealthy families in Monach accept your arrival? Especially when they learn that your father has passed away and you have become the target of several powerful figures' attention." Ribo asked bluntly.
"This is also one of the reasons why I chose Monach. Grand Duke Foss, who controls Monach, is a stubborn person. Because of this, he and Grand Duke Bassmon have always been enemies of tit-for-tat."
"The Grand Duke Foss is also dissatisfied with the Kane family. In fact, this dissatisfaction has accumulated for two centuries. This deep hatred comes from the last civil strife, when deception, betrayal, blood debt and revenge continued to the descendants."
"Besides the hatred and opposition between Grand Duke Foss and my possible opponents, there is another reason that Grand Duke Foss has nothing to do with royal blood, which has reduced me a lot of worries."
To be continued...
