Chapter 806 (1/2)
”Are you serious?”
In the camp of the coalition army, Brandon looked at the wet letterhead in his hand. Brandon's expression was like a magic trick; Finally, he stared at the black haired wizard with a pair of extremely complex red pupils.
”Which part do you mean?” Lauren raised his eyebrows and shrugged wearily.
The consumption of the war with chakar was very serious; Not only in terms of physical fitness and energy, but also to let the old injury that had not recovered from silver helmet mountain relapse.
The little wizard almost tied him to the bed and repeatedly warned the black haired wizard that if he continued like this, he would have only one year left at most;
If it weren't for taking care of master ashamei who was also seriously injured, Ayn would like to monitor a ”quite unconscious” bastard all night so as not to kill himself.
”All!”
Brandon's eyes widened, as if only his voice could be raised eight degrees to show his current mood: ”you don't seem to see... What will happen if this letter is sent out as you want?”
”Needless to say, my father and my dear imperial brother; the Holy Cross Church, the nine pointed star wizard tower, and various forces that have been trying hard to hide all this for many years so that the empire can always maintain prosperity and stability, you are destroying their efforts for many years!”
”They... Would love to rip your skin and cramp, cut your meat and break your bones.” with a slight hum, Brandon shook his head: ”can't you be gentle, do you have to use such extreme means?”
”Be gentle... It doesn't sound like what some 'disgraced Prince' would say,” Lauren smiled faintly. ”What's more, can our crown prince Connor pretend to forget the account that I destroyed the imperial governor system?”
”Both he and his majesty have tried to kill me... It's just a matter of time.”
”Yes, but there is still a difference between being watched by them and actively looking for death!”
A ”disgraced Prince” turned his eyes desperately, with an unbelievable expression: ”are you really my former wizard Consultant... Because I have the impression that Loren Turin will never do such a thing that takes the initiative to seek death without any results!”
”You know better than I do. Even if this letter is sent to the whole empire as you wish, it won't be of any use - at least half of the people won't believe it, and the people who believe it will feel like a conspiracy. The rest are irrelevant!”
”Yes, you can't wake up a pretending sleeper.” Lauren shrugged and agreed with him. ”I admit it, but... Even so, it's still necessary.”
Brandon stared at him angrily: ”give me a reason!”
The dark haired wizard did not answer him immediately.
He leaned gently against the bed, narrowed his eyes and breathed again, as if thinking about how to answer Brandon.
To be honest, Loren is afraid.
This feeling was not obvious when he was at duanjie mountain, but silver helmet mountain really made him creepy... From beginning to end, he has been leading him around by the nose, and he has never been able to regain the initiative.
Serlio, he didn't ”guess” that he would go to silver helmet mountain, but knew he would be there from the beginning.
The difference between the two lies in that the former should be based on objective conditions and variables, and the judgment made on a person's understanding; The latter is unreasonable divine prophecy, like an actor who gets the script in advance or knows the reading of the spoiler.
”... Lucian, your death caused Conrad to miss the opportunity to go north. Faoda found the entrance of Nidhogg, and the 'dead man' was seen again; the unprepared broken boundary mountain was destroyed by the wave of rotten corpse demons...”
This is what grey pupil once mentioned to Loren. When he went to the Dragon King City, Francis warned him; At that time, fascism should not have been completely corrupted and swallowed by serlior.
This passage is crucial.
It is like the description of an experienced person, which can accurately grasp every important turning point; It's like ”because Lucian was saved, the world has to enter another branch line”.
What is this, the butterfly effect?
In the face of such an unreasonable enemy, the only solution Loren can think of is to take the initiative to intervene in some things, and it is a large-scale intervention, and make all kinds of seemingly ”illogical” and ”not playing cards according to common sense”.
Saving the remaining Boyi army is the first attempt, and this letter will be the second.
But it's impossible for Brandon to accept such words.
”... in the final analysis, it's a matter of position.” after slowing down his breathing, Loren said blandly: ”as you just said, our emperor and crown prince Connor can't do this.”
”Yes, no one with brains would do that!” Brandon rolled his eyes again. ”It's not a knight's novel!”
”So...”
Lauren looked up at him sincerely, ”why not?”
Huh?
Brandon felt as if he had said a terrible thing.
... anyone with a brain wouldn't do that... So
”I have been in contact with his majesty Eckhart II and crown prince Conrad once respectively; I still know them at a very shallow level, but there is one thing...” Loren said slowly:
”They are all good at taking advantage of the situation and can see the direction of things at a glance. Even if an emergency occurs, they often 'correct' it by various means and finally become the situation they want.”
”The pre imperial trial is the best example... Even without me, the wizard college can't be destroyed by the church, and the two will maintain a certain balance; but from beginning to end, you can't see the trace of his Majesty's personal participation.”
”But he definitely intervened!” Brandon snorted coldly, with a slight dissatisfaction and fear in his tone:
”Always maintain the appearance of being objective and neutral without favoring any party is the image that the father emperor is most keen to show - because a fair judge can be respected and loved more than a dictator who does everything himself.”
”As for the beloved brother... Hum, he is the shadow of his father, but younger!”
The dark haired wizard agrees.
The feeling of facing Conrad is the same as that of facing Eckhardt II, and the latter is more relaxed.
But this is not because his majesty is more ”just”... On the contrary, it is because Conrad is still relatively young, easy to be emotional, and occasionally shows a little emotion, likes and dislikes.
”Even if they found these problems, the first thing they thought of was definitely not to let everyone know the seriousness of the problem; instead, they tried their best to cover it up to maintain the illusion that the Empire was still stable and prosperous on the surface.”
The black haired wizard's eyes were burning: ”because it's more beneficial for them to change the situation and take advantage of it.”
Between the words, Loren's mind immediately emerged all kinds of the past;
Eboden's evil spirit body and holy blood potion became an accident, and the exterminated Bellini family took full responsibility; Even the soldiers of the imperial Legion were killed and finally nothing was done;
