Chapter 188 (1/2)
”Is that really good?” Sophia gazed at Sylvie, who was sitting in the wide soft chair, poring over a piece of parchment: ”leave that girl in golovito? You've been saved from a fatal blow? ”
Although from the content, she seems to be complaining about Saran, but even Sylvie, an emotional idiot, knows that if she really shows any ulterior intentions to Saran, I'm afraid Sophia will turn against him immediately
So he folded the slip of parchment in his hand calmly, and then pressed down the feeling of emptiness in his heart. He looked at Sophia fearlessly and said, ”under our feet is the Academy, we are going to the battlefield. Saran, she is neither a student or a teacher here, nor a person who should rush to the battlefield, so there is no need to bring her here. ”
”Hum ~” Sophia snorted a little incredulously at Sylvia's answer, but judging from the results, Sylvia managed to muddle through.
”But why should we give up other places and go straight to cromolabi? There are many places along the way where the fighting has not stopped? ” After a private conversation, Sophia sat back on the sofa and began to discuss business with SIVI.
After all, girls are very knowledgeable and will not make a mess of business because of their private affairs.
”I have just received the letter from her majesty, Princess Yiwen Jen Lin.” Sylvie wiped his cold sweat quietly, and then pushed the folded slip of parchment to Sophia: ”look at it, too.”
There are already ordinary paper in the world, but the cost of that paper as a product of alchemy is much higher than that made by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of course, a little money is nothing to ordinary nobles, let alone royal families. We should know that in the library of Huolian National Institute of magic, paper books account for 80% of the total collection. The reason why Princess
uses parchment instead of plain paper is that the letter came from a letter hawk.
Different from the birds that are often used to deliver letters, such as the letter kite and the white headed owl, the letter eagle was originally named the Nanyang vulture, and its flying speed was able to shake the letter kite Owl for several streets, including the magic creatures, which ranked in the top ten among the known birds!
Moreover, this kind of bird is ferocious in nature. When flying in the air, even some small demons do not dare to provoke it. What's more, it can guarantee that the bird will not be eaten by some carnivorous birds before the letter is delivered In fact, the probability of this kind of thing happening is quite high.
However, because of this, the letters carried by the birds have to withstand a lot of tests. Ordinary paper, I'm afraid, for various reasons, has become dilapidated at the time of delivery. On the contrary, relatively backward but stronger parchment can be preserved more perfectly.
”Decisive battle? Why do you make such a decision at such a time? ” Sophia saw the message on the note. She opened her mouth wide and closed it again after a while. She blinked her eyes and asked SIVI incomprehensibly, ”is Huolian at a disadvantage in the war? Why do we have to deploy the local army to fight with the enemy, so that we are not afraid that the whole empire will be gradually eroded by the vampires
”I think it's the fear of erosion that makes this decision.” SIVI touched his chin - because he hadn't shaved for a long time, so his beard was scuffed - while sorting out his thoughts, he told Sophia his conjecture: ”compared with the army of vampires, the local army is certainly inferior to that of the vampire army, and they are quite a lot. Although at this stage, they can continue to stand still, but after the neighboring countries are occupied, Huo has become the enemy Lian empire as a whole will be in a very dangerous situation, so we should simply start to draw troops from the local areas, hit the combat capacity and fight a decisive battle
