It is obviously stupid to be proud of your mouth without any obstruction.
A fork flew over in circles and almost flew into his hood, but before he could even stare at the sneering half-elf lady, the severe pain from the soft flesh around his waist made Edward
I couldn't help but gasp. The way I twisted a small piece of skin and rotated it was hard to imagine that it was from the hands that always held the long sword and challenged it head-on-handedly - OK, some techniques, maybe it was
A skill that women can control in nature.
The young man's embarrassment made the old man laugh unscrupulously.
"What an interesting idea. I just thank the gods. Under their kind and sharp eyes, this way of confusing bloodlines is easier to see through." After a pause, he said: "Young man, I can understand you for your sake."
Tuminis's confidence, but you should also consider the strength of the empire."
"There are few people, few people, and the strategy of playing, the land is big, and the strategy of the land is big. Assassination, kidnapping, threats, bribery, and differentiation can all be a part of the war. Yes, battles are the most important part of the war, but
If you just look at a war from the outcome of the battle, then the outcome is no surprise.”
Edward rubbed his waist, held the hand in his hand, slowly feeling the slenderness and smoothness: "Once the advancement of technology can be used for military purposes and has been used for military purposes, they will immediately almost force it.
The land, and often violates the will of the commander, causes changes or even changes in the mode of combat. And the current empire is obviously not aware of this change."
The gentle words mixed in the noise of the tavern. They became a little blurred, but the old man seemed to be stimulated by some sound and straightened his back. His narrowed green pupils flashed slightly, and he combed them neatly towards his brain.
The hair behind him made him look like a cobra that was irritated and his neck was flattened.
But Edward ignored his changes. He just spoke on his own:
"The empire is very big, that's right, but if the opponent has magicians to follow, it's hard to find enemies if the prophetic spells are prophetic. They can teleport, drag you to fight, destroy you everywhere, and they don't even need supplies. They can rob you everywhere, and you
To stop them in such a large territory, it will cost more troops... You have to guard each castle effectively and organize a group of mobile teams of equal strength to fight fires, but if the other party divides troops, it is better to do so.
What? How much maneuverable can the empire keep? More than thirty provinces can be their targets unless you have five or six standing troops that are comparable to attackers and are on standby at any time. And all the country
The aristocratic territories must be concentrated on obedience to the orders... Otherwise, hehe, he would still take a shower and go to bed."
The psychic wise man smiled and cunningly kept his words at a critical position.
He just wanted to attract the other party's attention, but he was never interested in teaching the other party how to do it. He himself had the idea of dividing the empire, so how could he tell one of the other party what he should pay attention to?
Besides, the other party's words are already professional terms, and it seems that they have to have some. No, it may be a lot of war experience. If such an old man is involved in politics, how could he not understand the trivial truths he said.
?If you don’t get involved in politics, it’s meaningless to talk to him about this, it’s just a lot of empty talk.
"Interesting thoughts, but maybe all the great masters have their own means..." The old man blinked, and the gloomy aura disappeared, leaving only a cunning smile: "Who knows, this kind of thing is this kind of thing
The matter is something that the military headquarters will worry about, and His Majesty the King will make wise decisions. I am just an old guy who is about to meet the God of War. I am overestimating my ability to manage these things."
"Young man, thank you for your fish." Dipped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, he stood up: "I hope I can meet again if I have the chance."
...
An inconspicuous carriage picked up the old man and his bodyguards on the street corner and disappeared briskly at the end of the street.&&
"A funny little guy... If the mages of Tuminis are all like him, no, only one or two out of ten think like him, then we may really be in twenty or thirty years, or even
They were defeated in a shorter time." When the old man sat in the car, his waist was as straight as a sword poplar. He touched his beard and whispered, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was
Say to his bodyguard.
"Many classic battles that have opened up a new era have created miraculous victory by using breakthrough tactics. If you can see the location and form of the next war, it is equivalent to mastering the key to victory." The old man whispered
"The future is hidden in the thick fog. The clearer the person can see the truth in the fog, the more he can judge how to act correctly."
"I can see the future war, isn't this the prophet?" The tall bodyguard was silent and finally murmured.
"The Prophet... No, this is experience and unique vision. The noble territory... is right. If those idiots could learn to watch and help each other, then the empire would have unified the entire continent long ago. Now they can stop that old dog
, there is only the Royal Knights... But how could that old guy compete with me in the plains for cavalry? It seems that this attack was still a little frigid, but... Isgandal's power, hehe, third
, If the Fourth Special Knights were formed, they could have a chance to play with the old dog."
He sighed and raised his head. "Did you find something new about the origin of this little guy?"
"There is no more detailed information except that he met the Earl of Bainz and Viscount Tiberius on his way to find the Maze of Pan, and there is no more detailed information. The Earl of Bainz kept silent and talked about anything related, and we also
I tried to use prophetic magic, but I couldn't get more detailed things." The man said in a deep voice: "He appeared too suddenly, and it is very likely that he was a spy sent by Tuminis."
"Will a spy attract attention so much?"
“He is not yet an adult.”
"When I was eleven years old, I stabbed my first opponent to death with a gun. Then that night, I was already a real man. My age doesn't mean much, ha Tu." The old man shook his head. Haha.
"Especially for the monsters among the casters. What's more, the power he showed before was quite excellent. If I were the old guys in the magic academy, it would never be possible for him to come and serve as one.
The job of spies.”
"He is obviously very important, otherwise, that little devil Tiberius would not have been willing to expose the danger of his strength and come to deal with his dispute himself. And he also asked the lady to accompany him." The old man shook his head, but again
It seemed that I suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute, you said that the little guy from the Bainzhi family said it on the way to search?"
Obviously.
"If you guessed correctly, he should have gotten something in the maze of Pan Shen," the old man nodded.
...
...
"Who is that old guy? You should know?" Withdrawing your eyes from the figure who walked out of the tavern, Edward glanced at the woman who was standing not far away, not knowing when she was standing in the robe.
The woman didn't speak.
In fact, she has always rarely spoken. She is the so-called "no words" type...
But this did not prevent Edward from getting what he wanted to know - while he asked, some fragments of thought in the other party's mind were enough for him to get the correct answer. "Barbarossa viper...haha."
He smiled in his heart: "I didn't expect that there would be a big fish hook so soon."
The bait used to fish is the conflict with that group of guys before. With Edward's eyesight, of course it is impossible not to not detect a surveillance eye displayed by the mage. In fact, if he spends some time, he can also become a surveillance eye with the other party.
The enemy even took out big secrets such as his first love story and real name, depending on whether the psychic warlock is willing or not.
Of course, even without that details, he would also make himself famous.
Although everyone will give the name of what they say "secret", there is no airtight wall in this world. For a densely populated metropolis like Illyria, the entertainment after dinner
In short, the topic is the fastest thing... So in just two days, the dispute that occurred in the hotel spread in the aristocratic circle, and then spread to ordinary citizens.
In this world, it is not uncommon for one person to deal with a few or even a dozen people, but dozens of city guard knights, with heavy crossbows and three mages, and an intermediate knight, lost to a certain origin
In the hands of an unknown mage, and the man was extremely young, such a thing was undoubtedly enough for most people to guess.
What's more, there is also a Tiberius, an aristocratic adventurer who is in the limelight recently and who can enter and exit the palace freely. This person must have an extraordinary origin - Oh, Your Excellency Tiberius is no longer a
A simple adventurer, the fact that he was named a new leader of the Knights by the emperor was actually a bigger thing, but he had been a striking figure himself, even if he had a few more halos,
But it is even more dazzling, not as sensational as the young man who came out of nowhere.
The skills I wanted to use to please girls were cheaper, but it was actually a depressing thing to listen to, but fortunately, from this aspect, this trip was also rewarding.
But I still have to find a way to soothe the girls... I have to get something to be appetizing.
The distance between the two hotels and restaurants is not far, just one street and alley. When I thought about some trivial matters, the journey was almost done... But when Edward looked up, he noticed that someone was waiting for him in the hotel's foyer.
.
It should be waiting for him.
After blinking, I found this ordinary face from my memory - it was one of the people I met in that fat man's store, the butler.
"What advice do you have?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the other party seemed to have left him a text message, but the content had been forgotten almost. He only remembered that he had the fate to tell me something in the future.
"My master, I heard that you are very interested in magical items, so I gave me a little gift." The butler bent over slightly and then took out something from his arms; "Today is the most recent auction day.
, If you are interested, you might as well go for a trip.”
"auction?"
Edward took the metal card in confusion - it seemed to be silver. On one side, it was smooth, and on the other side was a delicate magic array, fine lines and a little aquamarine inlaid, which were enough to illustrate its quality. However,
It doesn't seem to be a practical magic item.
"This is the key, or pass, to the Wolfgang auction house." The middle-aged man explained, not showing any contempt for the country bumpkin: "It is the largest auction house in Illyria, with two per month
This is a routine big auction, and this month’s mid-month auction is a little ahead of schedule due to the Midsummer Festival.”
Edward nodded. He knew that due to market operations, there were always some rare treasures in this kind of auction, which were definitely different from the main street products that appeared on the market. Although there were not many things to buy and sell at each time,
But there are a few pieces of stuff that can be used to press the bottom, and some things that can be called magical artifacts sometimes appear in one of them.
It's just that I want to participate in it. This is the first time - the aristocratic auction is like other aristocratic gathering places. Without a certain identity, I can't participate in that circle. Of course, a certain country bumpkin actually worked in his own territory in his early years.
After a few auctions of fraud adventurers, you can go to someone else's auction. This is the first time.
Such an opportunity is indeed rare and should not be missed. Especially considering that it may take a long time to visit Illyria. And then there may not be another Kaizi to provide you with a bulging wallet.
This Wolfgang auction house is indeed worthy of being called the largest - of course, the area may not be beyond, but its magnificence surprised Edward, who claims to be knowledgeable, and also slightly surprised.
Some people say that an auction house wants to operate for a long time and can make the old middle-class nobles who are stingy and stingy and picky nobles willingly send large boxes of gold coins... Then at least there must be food comparable to the top salons in the imperial capital.
, meticulous and considerate private service, spacious and beautiful environment... all the noble-style everything, it should have.
This building, located in the Illyria block, is almost comparable to a temple and sacred temple, is obviously aristocratic. As the steps deepen, those bright and spacious corridors are as flat as mirrors, inlaid with marbles of various patterns.
And the gorgeous and elegant crystal chandeliers on the zenith are the most ordinary pomp.
Obviously, someone who had just started to think of it was already late. When he walked into the middle hall of hundreds of feet, nobles from all over the kingdom had gathered together. They greeted each other in their seats with national etiquette.
When they get to acquaintances, they will even give each other a kiss.
A group of noble and beautiful ladies and ladies, wearing various dresses, were like countless flowers sprinkled in the theater. The men with dazzling blonde hair were bees and butterflies among the flowers, with the most elegant and refined demeanor, and the old ones who had been together for a long time.
The child is noisy and has a look of respect, seduction, provocation and debauchery towards the beautiful women around him.
Edward's eyes swept over the simple clothes of the two female companions, and his disgusted expression, so he secretly rejoiced that he had good luck in identifying people, at least he didn't have to be fooled with those idiots.
Surrounding the four walls of the "theater", the boxes decorated with silk and satin by the big figures are distributed next to each other. On the inside of the box, there are different numbers of seats, including family seats, individual seats, and even those.
The seats that can accommodate more than a dozen people. The seats are drawn with gold lines and the backrest is also laid with thick soft leather. The soft leather is wrapped in bright red silk. The collection displayed on the walls is simply comparable to a museum - Gorgeous
The paintings, handwritten scores of famous artists. Handwritings from the empire’s hundreds of years... There is even an exquisite and spacious wine cabinet, with beautiful and exquisite wine utensils and precious wines radiating various colors on the crystal pedestal. It can be said that
, This is indeed a paradise for pleasure and a place to show its status.
Or because the official opening has not yet been made, there was still a group of young people laughing and joking at the corridor in front of the box, throwing strange eyes at the three men and one woman who walked through the passage - although the robes are always versatile cards suitable for all occasions,
But the actions of these people are absolutely incompatible with them.
Of course Edward was not interested in promoting himself here, but just before they found their place, a voice sounded beside him.
"Elena! Is it Elena?"
Edward narrowed his eyes and noticed a tall warrior walking out from behind the men. His long and loose white robe wrapped around his strong body, but some glittering silver light revealed some secrets.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, high nose bridge and eyebrow arch, and muscles that even jade bracelets cannot be covered, making him look like an almost moving ancient sculpture, even with a cold face, condescending
Attitudes have already obtained the essence of it.
But at this moment, he was shouting in a happy voice, and stretching his arms to this side.
"Do you know him?"
Edward frowned and noticed the exquisitely carved badge on his chest, the sun's pattern leaked his identity - not a warrior, but a paladin, although the shoulderless armor obviously reminded people of the barbarians.
People of blood.
The answer to the question was a vague nod, but the happy expression on the girl's face could also be regarded as a kind of affirmation... to be continued...
