The breathless and intensive classwork has ended, and the five minutes of rest time for the students to relax and relax have passed. All the students who had previously crowded the classroom were busy with work and homework.
No one left in the classroom is an elf.
——Li Lin, whose energy seems to be exhausted and needs rest; Nidhogg, who has returned from his inspection mission; Vali and Thad, who are waiting for instructions and inquiries; [
It's not discrimination or favoritism.
The intelligence work related to entering human society does not yet require the participation of elves who are difficult to perform. The sonic war under the shady curtain can be left to professionals.
"Is Bishop Capelle still closed in?"
The cold questioning method was used to verify the state of mind of the wise ruler. The boy showed things beyond the scope of common sense more than once, but the changes in his mood seemed not much different from those of the intelligent race. At most, he was more calm and rational.
When a hasty answer makes the actual controller of Niflheim Valley dissatisfied or unhappy, the sword hanging high above his head will fall like a scene in many nightmares.
The fate of Niflheim, the rise and fall of Niflheim, and the fate of many elves are tied to Li Lin's hands. The human Vali answered carefully with a 50% correct understanding:
"There are no signs of any change yet, Your Excellency."
His voice, which lacked vitality, remained deep and low-key as usual, and the corner of his robe shook slightly.
"The bishop has never appeared outside the confines of the monastery. The lights in the monastery have been extinguished very early, and the number of people coming in and out has been decreasing. The guys who are mixed in the worship crowd are closely monitored by many lower-level knights. In addition to participating in prayer services, such as inquiring into the church
Due to the internal situation, it is simply impossible to observe changes within the monastery. The church is now completely under high martial law, Your Excellency."
Vali, who simply stated the situation, difficulties, and hardships, would not overdo it, and it would not be wise to argue with an arbitrary superior. Vali, who had gained valuable experience from many bad-tempered customers, was honest and did not do anything.
Embellishment concealed the intelligence work that suffered setbacks.
"...How are the living conditions of the lower-level knights?"
Going beyond the process of verbal abuse and accountability, Li Lin's roundabout way of thinking made Vali feel a little more at ease.
"It's not much different from monasteries in other places - so poor that there is almost no meat for three meals, and all the salary is spent on the maintenance of equipment. The lives of trainee priests and apprentices are better than them, but..."
"No, Mr. Valli."
The sound of fingers tapping on the table cut off Vali's words, and the cold tone of refusal to explain and self-assertion drove all the worries and complaints in Vali's belly out of the room.
"The power of faith is very powerful, but it is delusional to expect it to fill your stomach. Everyone has a price set to be bought, and the only difference is whether you can afford that price. Don't
Always use the other party's firm belief as a reason to shirk responsibility. Showing off your cleverness not only makes you look stupid, but also wastes my precious time."
Vali kept trembling, almost unbearable, and the words and tapping stopped as he knelt down and begged. Three raised fingers stood between the young man who had no room for bargaining and the ugly-faced former killer who was trying to say something.
between.
"Three days, thirty grand. I don't care about the process, but you should at least understand some of the internal situation of the church."
The fingers in mid-air fell back to the table, and the suffocating and monotonous tapping once again echoed in the classroom that lacked a second voice.[
"I look forward to your achievements, Mr. Valli. The success of your previous work proves the ability of you and your subordinates. The accumulation of achievements will eventually be reflected in the form of status, reputation, and wealth - please
You keep this in mind."
When dealing with smart-minded guys, a subtle warning is often more effective than a full-blown curse, and the less subtle expressions of dissatisfaction will strengthen the effect of the warning.
A person as smart as Vali should know very well that the only way to deal with the current situation is to "try his best". It is not a good idea to betray Li Lin and return to the earl.
Vali, who worked under the Earl for a period of time and now works for Li Lin, is very aware of the focus of conflict between the two forces and...the gap in strength.
No one knows the secrets such as the contrast between the military strength, production capacity, soldier quality, etc. that both parties can control better than Wall-E, who is engaged in intelligence warfare. The count's army has an obvious advantage in quantity, so the quality aspect is worthy of consideration.
On the elf side where there is an overly powerful individual of an unknown race, failure will never be allowed by that individual. As long as it is considered an obstacle or troublesome thing, the final outcome will be nothing more than being crushed.
Even from a personal point of view, Niflheim, which is in the initial stage of rising, can provide Vali with more room to realize his self-worth than the old castle that is based on blood, origin, magical ability, and qualifications.
After seeing the ending, the smart Wally knew which side he should be on.
Bowing respectfully with a hint of fear, Vali exited the classroom.
Thad withdrew his gaze from the backs of his colleagues, lowered his head humbly, and looked at Li Lin, who was sipping black tea, from the corner of his eye without being noticed, and rubbed his hands nervously on his knees.
.
Once in a private setting where only two of them were together, Thad and Vali exchanged their views on Li Lin. The conclusion was that compared to the intelligent species, a young man with extraordinary power and wisdom is closer to an existence like the [ancient species].
But if Li Lin is simply treated as an [ancient species] who is arrogant and likes to be flattered, the consequences of the mistake will be quite fatal.
Reality, efficiency, wrist, figure, strength——
Among the many qualities possessed by the boy who explains what "perfection" is, the only one he has is that he has no weaknesses that can be exploited by others.
Overlooking everything from a high place, cleverly adjusting rhythm details to guide the overall situation in the right direction.
This almost omniscient and omnipotent existence, the only title that can match it is——
The topic continues at this point, and even those who are not very devout believers, their beliefs and inherent thinking are difficult to accept the conclusions derived from continuing to think and debate.
Awe - respect, and fear are the almost unanimous reactions of human subordinates when they face Li Lin. The wonderful chemical reaction with always more fear is also dominating the former Baron Sade at this moment.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sade."
He supported the table with his elbows and folded his hands like a mask to cover his face below the bridge of his nose. Although he could not see Li Lin's entire expression, Thad could feel the smile on his lips that spoke the words of condolences.
"It is a small honor to serve you."
Bending down towards the smiling face that was full of meaning and maliciousness, whether it was in the image or in reality, Sade answered carefully.[
The so-called work refers to perfecting the rumors against Count Argentolaton and filling in the loopholes in the initial version that could make people laugh to death.
The count does have military changes that can arouse the suspicion of onlookers, but it is not as easy as it sounds to make other forces suspect the true motives of Count Agentolaton and stir up the surrounding public opinion like boiling turbid water.
matter.
There is no shortage of mentally retarded, idiots, and people with rotten and rigid thinking among the group called [Nobles]. To a certain extent, they can be called the signature of aristocrats. However, they limit the IQ value of their opponents to a low value that lacks universality.
Guys who base their assumptions on battle plans should also find a brain doctor to check whether they are mentally retarded.
As an important class or elite class that maintains the operation of a huge country, although it is corrupt and bloated and filled with many ignorant people, it is still difficult to deceive them with one or two rumors that ordinary people can see the flaws.
.
What Sade had to do was to fill in the holes in the rumors, make the information look authentic and credible, and be acceptable to different people, and then point the finger of suspicion at a known count.
"The superior nobles always act as if they are united, but in fact everyone in the circle is somewhat aware of the grievances between the big shots."
The pleasure of revenge emerged from under his tone, and Sade's twisted smile contained real malice and pleasure.
Language, writing, information, intelligence - things that are usually inconspicuous can, after some reorganization, make those aloof and arrogant nobles like ants on a hot pot. Sade, who is in a hostile position, appreciates and enjoys it.
The excitement brought by the development is like tasting the aroma of aged red wine.
"It is normal for small groups to exist within an organization, and conflicts of interest are inevitable. From a side perspective, internal competition helps the organization grow and expand. But if there are no communication channels and arbiters, it will develop into vicious internal friction and eventually evolve into
Yes, it looks so ugly."
The overtones of meaning spread into the air, and Li Lin's sneer made Sade shake.
Current situation in Niflheim.
Rather than saying they are gay allies who jointly pursue the righteousness, it would be more appropriate to describe them as a "strange combination of interests".
Humans, elves, dwarves, dragons - groups with different and conflicting interests gathered in Niflheim. The core of maintaining the cohesive operation of this cross-racial military organization is a detached man of unknown race.
juvenile.
Taking the common dissatisfaction with the status quo as the starting point, the young master who does not hold any racist stance is the only foundation of the spider web-like complex organization. This vital core is missing - the mysterious boy who built the spider's nest.
The mirage built on the beach in front of you will fall apart overnight.
Niflheim would fall back on its crumbling old ways;
The elves’ dream of restoration will be shattered;
The futures of Valli and Alberich would be very slim;
——Without Li Lin, Sade would have no chance to take revenge on Count Agentolaton, who had humiliated and framed him. The scene of that arrogant and arrogant head stepping on his feet would forever be limited to imagination.
That kind of thing must never happen, and it must never be allowed to happen.
